Chapter 278 – Adele Is Changing #2

@@

Sylvia, who was sitting in her cafe with an impatient expression, smiled all over when Adele entered.
Then she calmed her expression and restrained her friendly expression as much as possible.
She was there to suit Adele’s mood.
Sylvia rose from her seat and raised her hand.

“Adele, here you are.”

Make your voice as soft and quiet as possible.
Would this effort have worked? Adele smiled broadly and she ran over and hugged Sylvia.

“I missed you, sister.”

Sylvia, who had been stroking Adele’s back while hugging her, was relieved inside her.
Even when she called, her tension seemed quite high, but it seemed like her anger had been released.
If he apologized at this time, the chances of her accepting it would be very high.

As Adele untied her embrace and sat across from her, Sylvia held out a long cup full of pink liquid.

“I ordered strawberry yogurt. It’s yours.”

“I just wanted to eat it, but my sister knows my taste very well.”

“Yeah… You know it.”

A delighted Adele sucked on the yogurt.
Sylvia, who confirmed that her complexion was very bright, took a sip of her Americano placed in front of her and apologized.

“Adele. I’m really sorry.”

Adele’s eyes turned into crescent moons as she held her mouth to her straw.
I was glad to see her sincerity.

Adele licked her lips and asked.

“What part are you sorry about?”

“The fact that he likes Jihyeok… The fact that he said he would recharge with him, and the fact that he said he had feelings for me.”

At the words that scratched the exact part she wanted, Adele nodded her head loudly once.
Sylvia, riding her current, followed her.

“I think you must have been very angry, especially at the end. Jihyeok has no feelings for me, but I lied to him.”

Sylvia’s choice was a lie.
A lie mixed with a tiny bit of truth.
She is already rotten as she is, she is herself.
I had come this far anyway, but now I was thinking of fooling Adele thoroughly.

“It’s not a lie to say that you like Jihyeok, right?”

“Yes…”

“Are you willing to recharge?”

“That…”

Looking at her, she blurted out the end of her words, and she said as if Adele was okay.

“Tell me. I’m not here to fight, I’m here to make up with her sister.”

“Okay… I have a mind to recharge. But… I won’t if you don’t like it.”

“Then, how are you going to deal with the monsters when the device runs out of energy?”

“Until there… I don’t know. I don’t think I’m dating another guy yet… I’m sorry, Adele. Am I really pathetic?”

Adele felt very comfortable with Sylvia, who was blaming herself.
She’s even cozier than when she’s with Dr… That kind of feeling.
Adele asked, who did not even dream that the aura was Magi.

“How many percent do you have left now?”

As Sylvia looked around her, she cautiously pressed the charge indicator button on the device.
The figure that appeared in the air was [84%].
Anticipating that Adele would ask these questions, she wrote 16 percent after she broke up with Jihyeok, in her transformed state.
It was just the number left after fighting Adele.

“This much…”

An obsession with energy consumption?
It disappeared from the time Jihyeok and I were messing around at the hotel.
We were going to meet often to recharge anyway, so it was much better to do this just to avoid suspicion.

He is trash
However, Jihyeok was good enough to accept that kind of image.
In any case, Adele must have lost similar numbers when fighting him.
As expected, Adele sighed when she saw her charge and dispelled her doubts.

“Whew…”

“Even if it becomes 0%, there will never be anything that touches Jihyeok… You can rest assured.”

“Her sister’s heart is well conveyed. Yes… I will accept your apology. Let’s think about it together.”

Sylvia pricked up her ears.
Doesn’t the word “Let’s think about it” Mean… If it’s urgent, he’ll allow Ji-hyeok to recharge?
In a situation where you have already made up your mind to meet Ji-hyeok secretly and steadily, what does this matter?
Still, there was a big difference between getting permission and not getting it.

Of course, this was just a wish.
Adele’s personality would never give her permission.

“Yeah… Thanks, Adele.”

“No. I’m sorry too. For swearing at her sister…”

“No… It was cheap even if I cursed at it…”

“Drink like that.”

“I… And… I have a favor to ask.”

“What is it?”

“Can I… Continue to believe in the Rosary…?”

Now that feelings of immorality and guilt were no joke, she wanted to get permission from the saintess officially.
For her self-satisfaction, she is just trying to have a religion to find a place to lean on… But isn’t that the way all religions are originally?

Adele smiled brightly.

“As long as she has sincere trust in her sister, of course she can trust her.”

“But then… You did. I deserve to believe in the Rosary…”

“Of course it was. At the time, it was just… I was excited and said it out loud. It means you weren’t serious.”

Adele still had the desire to change the doctrines of the Rosary.
It wasn’t because he wanted to prevent Sylvia from entering the church, but because he didn’t want those who had been wronged to enter the church.
Because of this, he intended to make a request to Rosario sooner or later.
I don’t know if the answer will come or not.

Sylvia had a thrilled expression on Adele’s distribution.
Adele, who was happy to see her, widened her eyes as Sylvia cleared her throat and said something surprising.

“Oh, there’s something I really want to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“Ji-hyeok took me to the concert hall while admonishing me, saying that it would ease her mood… You know?”

“Yes. I know.”

“Did you hear from Jihyeok that you found the owner of the last Aether?”

“Yes!?”

The voice was quite loud, and the eyes of the cafe customers were noticed.
Adele, realizing her mistake, lowered his voice with a nudge.

“Is that really…?”

“Yes. As for what happened…”

@@

“Hello, Adaline.”

Employees at the info desk bowing their heads politely.
Adele smiled bashfully and accepted their greeting.

“Hello. Is Jihyeok upstairs?”

“Yes, I will guide you.”

An employee came out quickly and held the elevator.
The other person picked up the receiver to contact the president’s office.

I feel like I have become a wife that I only see in dramas.
Adele, who had a big smile on her face, moved to the floor where her boss’s office was located after being politely guided by her staff.

Adele, who was staring at the indicator going up one floor at a time, glanced at the staff next to her.
Her bright beige suit and skin-colored stockings matched her well.
She has a pretty face and seems to have a good figure.

Wouldn’t it be possible to meet Jihyeok separately?
Absolutely not.
That woman is pretty, but Sylvia is much, she is incomparably prettier.
Ji-hyeok seemed disinterested even to Sylvia, but she couldn’t take her eyes off her.

Still, she is somehow annoying.
In particular, the short skirt that slightly exposed her thighs was quite unpleasant.
What is that?

It’s okay to wear something like that on a regular basis.
But this is a company.
Besides, if you are an info desk employee, you should be neat… That look is obscene.
I don’t like that Jihyeok will pay any attention to me.
Really ugly I need to edify…

“Oh…!”

Unknowingly, Adele, who had a radical thought, cleared her throat.

“Hmm…Hehe…!”

The staff asked in a worried tone.

“Anywhere you feel uncomfortable…?”

“Oh, no. Aren’t you tired of the job?”

“It’s okay. Thank you for your concern.”

Ding-!

Before I knew it, I arrived at the floor number where the president’s office was located.
After asking Adele for her understanding, the employee got off first and knocked on the door of the president’s office.
Then, a low, grave voice came from inside the door.

“Leave it slightly open.”

The employee, who turned the doorknob and pushed it with very weak force, greeted Adele and went back.

Adele went into the boss’s office and met an unpleasant person.
It was Ji-hyeok’s personal assistant, whom he had seen once before.

‘Mr. Ui…’

That ‘nyeon’ also has a very short skirt. I’m dying of boredom
Adele almost glared at Aram until he bowed his head and left, striding across to Jihyeok and sitting down.

“That person… Is that secretary?”

“You’re right. I called to get a business report.”

It’s a work report… Then it’s possible to take care of it, so I’ll have to take a look at it.

“But what are you doing without contact? I was surprised when I received the extension call.”

“Sylvia unnie told me about Stella.”

“Okay. Was she good at reconciliation?”

“Of course. They reconciled well, as they are closer than her biological sisters. It’s not this that matters… Why didn’t you tell me?”

Jihyeok tilted his head in response.

“What are you talking about?”

“Miss Stella. I wish she would have told me, but she means why she was hiding it.”

“Hiding it… I was going to tell you in the car yesterday, but Adele told me to be quiet.”

“Me?”

“Yes. Think carefully.”

Come to think of it, I remembered that Jihyeok brought up the story of an encore.
Even then she herself yelled at him to be quiet.

Adele, speechless, put her hand inside her sleeve and hesitated, and Jihyeok let her shoulders droop.

“Why are you so anxious that you can’t scold me again? I’m so sad…”

Always thinking ahead!
Jihyeok: That was the problem!
Actually, I tried to scold you today… But anyway, problems are problems!
No sign of improvement despite all the warnings so far…
Still, I’m going to have to change the topic because my conscience is stabbed.

“I had no intention of criticizing Mr. Jihyeok, but I am sorry that you thought so. What report did you get anyway?”

“He had a business connection with an entertainment agency, but that stock price fell a lot, so…”

“Um… That’s a problem.”

Adele pretended to know what she didn’t know.
Jihyeok smiled benevolently and nodded his head.

“Yes, it is a problem, but it can be solved.”

“How are you going to solve it?”

“For now…”

Ji-hyeok starts to say difficult words with his eyes shining.
Adele, who managed to change the subject, flirted with herself.
Also, he was simple.

Adele pretended to listen to Jihyeok’s explanation, then opened his arms.
Then Jihyeok, who was talking hard, jumped up from his seat and approached, and he hugged Adele.
Then he said this.

“I’m going crazy because of Adele.”

This was also what Adele herself wanted to say.
I’m going crazy because of Jihyeok.
She feels love for him. True, warm, deep… Such a love.

Adele, whose mouth was wide open, thought he would do anything for Jihyeok.
And it will be the same for Jihyeok.

With him, I think I can forgive the bad business owner who overpackages bossam and the scammer who sells whirlwind potatoes for 10,000 won at tourist spots.
Jihyeok just needs to be by his side.
If only he could say that he was everything, no other being…

Cheer-!

“Oh.”

Sudden abdominal pain
The feeling of being pricked by a needle.
No, it’s not painful, it just seems a bit itchy.
When Adele frowned and tried to tell her to come down,

“Are you uncomfortable here?”

Jihyeok sat Adele on the sofa and said something like that while gently stroking his lower belly.
Adele, who was staring up at his face, asked in response.

“How did you know?”

“When I looked into your eyes, it seemed like that for some reason.”

Just by looking into your eyes, you know…
Even the moment Jihyeok’s touch touched him, the pain disappeared.
Is this destiny, a match made in heaven?

“….Press it a little harder.”

“Are you very sick?”

“Yes…”

“Maybe I should go to the hospital…”

Hospital… I can’t read the atmosphere.
“Tsk…” Adele said with a small suction sound.

“Bye, the hospital is done…! Keep rubbing it in… It’s getting better little by little…”

“All right.”
