Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With - Chapter 329
329. The Third Escort 1
The next day.
I headed to a cafe in Insadong as she said.
At the time, I had just moved from a daycare center to a one-room apartment.
A monthly rent room worth 450,000 won.
I had saved up a lot of money in a place that was about 5 pyeong in size like a fish tank.
So, those were the days when I felt more comfortable going out than staying at home.
Thanks to that, Lydia’s request wasn’t particularly annoying.
Of course, my favorite thing to do is kill time by taking a nap or sleeping at home.
But, this bare floor without even a single bed.
If I lie down for a long time, my tailbone hurts so much that I can’t stand it.
“Once I have money, the first thing I’ll do is buy a bed… … .”
Having experienced my 30s, I know very well the importance of taking care of my body.
So, let’s first aim to enter the planning department and receive a solid first salary.
I grabbed the subway pole with such a grand dream.
After that, I was looking at the route map that I hadn’t seen in a long time.
Suddenly, I felt strange gazes from people around me.
Could it be because of an occupational disease?
I immediately turned my head towards the source of the gaze.
That moment.
“I saw it, I saw it… … !”
What caught my eye were two girls in school uniforms.
They were glancing at me, wearing a fox-printed knit top and slacks.
“… … ?”
In the past, I lived a life where I only went to the gym and work.
So, it’s been a really long time since I’ve been outside.
I wondered if people were originally this interested in others.
‘Oh, no way.’
Is it because of this luxury fox knit that Lydia gave me?
There was a reason why one piece of clothing cost 800,000 won.
Symbolism that immediately captures the public’s attention.
Maybe the reason she sent me to the cafe was to test that ability.
‘As expected, the representative of each company is different.’
I smiled awkwardly at the two girls I encountered.
Then, they lowered their heads and hurriedly got off at the next station.
It is certainly a luxury item whose value will skyrocket in the near future.
――――――.
I got off the subway feeling the power of luxury.
And, for the first time in a long time, I walked the streets of Seoul alone.
The place we finally arrived at was the cafe that Representative Lydia had mentioned.
It wasn’t a chain store like Starbucks, but more like an individual cafe.
One thing that was unusual was that many of the guests sitting here were wearing sunglasses or hats pulled down low.
It seemed like a place where celebrities and famous people secretly meet.
‘I guess I’m starting to get the feeling that I was called here.’
I remember seeing several celebrities here and there while I was serving as the head of security.
And, among the people sitting here, there were quite a few people in the industry who had managed them.
They called me to this cafe to see how celebrities would react to these clothes and see if they would sell well.
First, we sat down at a round table as she said.
After that, since I had nothing to do, I started writing down on a piece of paper the stocks I wanted to invest in when I got my paycheck.
“Samsung Electronics… … . Dave… … .”
My memories are vague because I saved most of the money I earned or sent it to a daycare center.
I was writing down what stocks had skyrocketed.
Suddenly a dark shadow appeared behind my paper.
“If it’s stocks, I like Kakao.”
“… … ?”
I raised my head.
That moment.
A light, refreshing scent of perfume tickled the tip of my nose.
Finally, a silver-haired woman with a faint sweet scent appeared.
It was Irina, the representative of AR Construction.
“Yes, sir?”
“I came here because I saw a familiar face. It turns out you’re one of our new employees?”
A vertically striped knit that fits the curves of your body perfectly.
“I’m a 21-year-old Briton with silver hair tied in a ponytail,” said the 21-year-old.
“What a coincidence. I’m seeing this in a private setting like this.”
“That’s right. I didn’t know that you would go to a cafe alone.”
I stood up from my seat with a skilled smile.
And then, I gave a light bow.
“Hehe, when I have time off, I sometimes read in white noise like this.”
A book was draped across her broad Western hips.
“Can I sit with you?”
“Of course. Please sit over here.”
Irina said thank you and sat down gently across from me.
As she crossed her legs, her large thighs, pressed against her jeans, stood out even more.
The blue pants were so tight that the color of the pants was fading.
“He’s a bodyguard, but he’s already studying stocks. He’s very diligent.”
The representative of the construction company pointed to my notepad.
Then, I covered it up for no reason even though I had done nothing wrong.
“I’ve been interested in it for a long time. Now I’m studying it little by little.”
Irina stared at me as I skillfully rounded the conversation.
I couldn’t tell what her silvery eyes were thinking.
At that time, she and I had little contact.
Irina has always been a workaholic who only works hard at her own work.
So, looking at the mysterious expression on the representative’s face, who was resting his chin on the back of his hand, my mouth started watering for no reason.
“Hmm-. I see. It seems like you have a good feeling because you only picked stocks with good prospects.”
“Do you think the stock prices of these companies will rise?”
The representative was silent for a moment in response to my question.
Then, with her eyes half-closed, she answered with a refreshing smile.
“yes.”
Certainly, in the past, she was good at securing investment funds even though she was a new company.
Moreover, as the daughter of one of the richest men in the United States, she must be receiving a lot of stock information from related traders.
But why is that?
Every time I saw her smile, I felt strange.
It felt as if the representative, like me, came from the future.
I almost asked Irina if she was afraid of water.
But in the meantime, the silver-haired woman reached out and… … .
“Are you okay? Your face has darkened.”
He placed it gently on my forehead.
“yes……?”
The representative’s hands were very cold.
However, it wasn’t an unpleasant cold.
From noble mtl dot com
It was a refreshing feeling, as if it cleared my complicated mind.
“The temperature seems normal.”
“Oh, thank you… … . I was just thinking about it for a moment.”
Irina uncrossed her legs.
And then, tilting his head slightly, he spoke to me.
“Studying is good, but make sure to take care of your health first.”
The representative of AR Construction stood up from his seat.
And then, he took his cell phone with him for a moment and headed to the bathroom.
I frowned alone while she was away for a moment.
‘If she really went back to the past like me… … .’
Indeed, what does the representative plan to do with me?
You might be fired for failing to properly escort them and drowning them together.
You could deliberately find this place where I am and give me the lowest score right in front of my face.
Well then, I guess I’ll have to go back to school.
I watched the empty space she left behind, hiding my bitterness.
Then, suddenly, a book that Irina had left behind caught my eye.
A novel that was popular exactly 10 years ago at the time.
A man in crisis.
‘It was probably a book I was reading to study Korean.’
She had a habit of studying Korean by reading books.
It seems like you’re still reading novels from that time…
‘I guess I was mistaken?’
If you’re someone who went back in time, you’ll already be fluent in Korean.
There is no need to hide your skills.
Only after reading that book could I put my worries to rest.
And then, while leisurely sipping a sip of coffee, I relieved my tension for a moment.
Suddenly, I noticed two women approaching me.
“… … ?”
One of them had the look of an ordinary office worker wearing glasses.
But there was one person who accompanied her.
A woman with long hair tied in braids stood out.
“Can you spare me a moment?”
“What’s going on?”
I sat on the chair and looked at her with serious eyes.
Because the woman in front of me was wearing large sunglasses that covered her face.
“Those clothes. Are they pretty?”
“Thank you for the compliment. It was a gift.”
He responded to her greeting with a very bold tone.
Then, the woman wearing sunglasses tilted her head, perhaps feeling that the answer was too boring.
“This is the first time I’ve seen your face in this cafe. How did you know?”
“I just came in because the exterior of the building looked particularly pretty.”
He didn’t bother to reveal the information that Lydia had asked him to come.
Then she lowered her sunglasses slightly and quickly looked into my face.
“Hmm-. The main version is fine… … . Would you like to stand up for a moment?”
“Why should I do that?”
I asked the woman, who had maintained a relaxed attitude during our first meeting, coldly.
Perhaps unfamiliar with that reaction, she smiled and waved her hand.
“Ah. You really are an ordinary person. I see you don’t recognize me.”
The woman absentmindedly extended her hand to the accompanying monk.
Then, a career woman wearing glasses immediately took out her business card holder and handed it over.
“I am that kind of person. I am interested in you.”
I took her business card and confirmed her affiliation.
At that moment, the eyebrows that had been frowning widened.
The woman I met was the managing director of North Entertainment, a successful entertainment company in Korea.
“Since you were sitting in this cafe, I naturally assumed you were aspiring scouts. But I guess not.”
She spoke, leisurely looking around the space where we were standing.
“But if it’s high-level acting, that’s great too. You have the ability to be an actor, right?”
“I’m sorry, but I’m not an aspiring actor. I didn’t even know this cafe was famous for that kind of thing.”
I forced a smile and shook my head.
No matter how much knowledge you have about the future, it has nothing to do with the entertainment industry.
“Hmm-. Really?”
Her name is Lynn Park.
As far as I remember, there was a case where she was a famous person in the American entertainment industry, but then she got married and moved to Korea for work.
He is also famous in private thanks to the web novel he wrote called ‘The Northern Princess’s Slave Secretary’.
“Then why don’t you take an interest in it now? I think it’ll be a hit.”
“Haha… … . Thank you for your kind words, but I’m not interested in that right now.”
I just took her business card as a courtesy.
Afterwards, while trying to shake hands with the godmother of the entertainment industry who had a regretful expression on her face.
As soon as I came out of the bathroom, I saw Irina with a cold expression on her face.
“… … … .”
She approached Director Lin quietly.
Then he spoke to her with an eerie blank expression.
“Excuse me, is there anything you would like to say to our staff?”
“… … !”
Director Lin was startled by Irina’s appearance, which came up to him in an instant without a sound.
“Oh my… … !! Surprise, you… … .”
“I am this kind of person. This person is an employee of our company.”
The appearance of a woman with uncommonly beautiful silver hair.
Moreover, the business card she handed me had a huge AR logo proudly printed on it.
“If you want to talk to my staff, you must first meet with me.”
Irina gave me a look of haughtiness like a queen that I had never seen before.
Lin Park was silent for a moment, then his lips moved strangely.
It was as if I had encountered a breathtaking beauty for the first time in my life.
“Or just turn it off right now.”
