Chapter 969 – Side Story – Empty Position That Cannot Be Filled (4)
With Eunbyeol’s help, I quickly reviewed only the urgent parts of the documents accumulated over half a year, and it was already a little late in the evening.
Even though I was organizing documents that needed to be organized as quickly as possible, it was already past work time.
“I’m sorry, Eunbyeol. “I was made to work overtime from the first day of work.”
“Please tell me it’s flexible working hours, sir. And you don’t have to worry about the maid because every moment the master opens his eyes is working time.”
“That’s because I’m a secretary now, not a maid.”
I was so busy that I couldn’t even send a message to Minah and her sisters that I would be home late, so I quickly opened CocoaTalk and announced my late return to the girls’ chat room.
“Sorry. I’m late at work, so I think I’ll get off work now. If you haven’t eaten yet, eat first.”
“Huh? Are you getting off work now? Then, it’s about an hour, so I’ll just wait.”
“I’m fine for about an hour, brother!”
“You’re leaving work, right, brother?”
“Huh. “I’m leaving now, so I’ll go as fast as I can.”
Even though it was already late in the evening, Minah’s sisters responded that they would all wait for me.
To make them wait a little less, I started getting ready to leave work quickly and talked about going back to Eunbyeol, who worked hard with me.
“Let’s get off work soon, Eunbyeol. Good job.”
“… Thank you for your hard work, master.”
“It’s going to be quite noisy when I get home today. “It’s been half a year since I saw Mina and her younger sisters.”
“Yes? What do you mean… ?”
“Huh? Ah, Minah and her sisters have continued to live in our house even after Eunbyeol left.”
How will the three react when they see Eunbyeol for the first time in a long time?
As I was imagining that, she spoke cautiously to me as if she was worried about something.
“That’s not what I’m trying to say, master.”
“… Huh?”
“Well, the reason I stayed at your house was to hide myself from Geumhyang’s pursuit, so now that that purpose is over, I have no right to stay at your house.”
“… Ah.”
Yes, now that I think about it, that was the reason why Eunbyeol came to live with us.
Eunbyeol, who had completely obtained Geumhyang, was no longer a fugitive, nor was she in a situation where she was secluded in our house and unable to go outside.
So, it meant that there was no reason to hide in our house and avoid being tracked by the Geumhyang Group.
You can either go back to Sihee’s mansion as you used to live, or since you’ll have so much money, it’s okay to buy a hotel or a new house. Or, it might even be possible to stay at the Geumhyang Group’s mansion.
But, you don’t have to have a great reason to come into our house. Even if other conditions were met, if Eunbyeol wanted to come back to our house, she would just have to come back.
“It’s okay, so get back to your maid duties quickly, Eunbyeol. “Now that I’m off work, I have to come back to being my maid.”
“… “Master?”
“Now that you are the owner of Geumhyang Group, do you no longer want to be my maid? “If that’s the reason, there’s nothing we can do.”
“Oh, no! As of today, I will return to my master’s maid duties!”
Eun-byeol was the exclusive secretary to Seong Tae-kyung, the leader of the Hope City guild, and also returned to work as a maid in our house.

“Wow, sister! “It’s been so long!”
Han Min-ah came out of the kitchen wearing an apron as soon as she saw Eun-byeol returning home with me.
Eunbyeol also seemed to recognize her right away and responded to her greeting with a smile.
“It’s been a while since I saw you, Han Min-ah. How have you been?”
“Of course I had a good time, sister.”
“Oh, it’s Eunbyeol’s voice!”
“It’s been a while since I saw you, Eunbyeol.”
“Yes, I’m glad that Han Jin-ah and Han Seon-ah are also healthy.”
The atmosphere in the house quickly became lively just by hearing that Eunbyeol had returned to our house. Since they had been living together for a considerable period of time, Eunbyeol’s return seemed to be quite good news for them.
While Jin-ah and Seon-ah, who heard Eun-byeol’s voice and followed her Min-ah, were talking about various things with her, it was Han Min-ah who quietly approached me and asked in a low voice what had happened to Eun-byeol.
“Hey, Seong Tae-kyung.”
“Huh?”
“Well, Eunbyeol… So, has Nari’s matter been resolved well? If it’s a problem with Nari’s family, it’s definitely…”
“I came back like this because it was resolved well. “There’s no need to hide or go out from now on, so you don’t have to worry, Min.”
“Ha, thank goodness. I was anxious because there was a lot of news about Geumhyang Group on TV these days…”
Although he pretended not to be particularly interested on the outside, he seemed to be hoping that Eunbyeol’s family problems would be resolved.
Eunbyeol appeared by our side after resolving her family’s problems as Minah had hoped. Now it was her turn to return to our family.
“Oh, you haven’t eaten yet, right? “I’ll eat another bowl of rice!”
“I will do it, Han Min-ah. And washing dishes after meals…”
“Originally, it was my responsibility to wash the dinner dishes. And it’s been a while since you came, so you need to get some rest…”
It was originally quite noisy, but the atmosphere in the house seemed to become more lively as soon as Eunbyeol returned.
It was a moment of relief that at least there was no one who did not wish for her return.

After Eunbyeol’s return, she had a busy day at home.
Today, I had to leave a little earlier than Min-ah and the sisters because of guild leader work, but my way to work today wasn’t as lonely as usual.
“Are you coughing, master?”
“Ah, Eunbyeol. “You woke up early.”
“It is the basic skill of a maid to wake up before the master.”
How long has it been since I saw a maid greeting me in the morning as soon as I stepped outside the door?
It was a moment that felt like something out of the ordinary, but it felt like normal life had finally returned.
“Ugh, brother… ? I’m going to work… ?”
“Ah, Jina, you can sleep more. “Because I’m going to work early today too.”
“Ugh, okay…”
After putting Jina, who crawled into my bed last night, back to sleep, I roughly changed her clothes into a suit and got ready for work.
For reference, we decided to just keep wearing Eunbyeol’s maid uniform from now on. It was also an image that a maid’s uniform looked better than a suit, and Eunbyeol liked it more than anything else.
There may have been some suspicious rumors going around that the guild leader was bringing a maid with him instead of a secretary, but it was a minor issue. In the first place, being a hunter is an occupation that brings together a diverse group of people, so taking a maid with you is not even a part of your travels.
“Today, I’m going to take the warp gate through the company and go to the guild in Chuncheon City, Eunbyeol.”
“All right. Since there is a vehicle sent by Geumhyang Group, can I use that vehicle to help the owner commute to work starting today?”
“Huh? Tea?”
“I keep it in the garage, check it out, master.”
I felt like I had heard something strange, so I went out into the yard, skeptical, and saw a car I hadn’t seen parked in the empty garage.
For some reason, it was a black sedan that only foreign businessmen would drive, complete with tinting.
“I separately received the vehicle in question early yesterday morning. Nominally, I plan to register it as a company vehicle, but I would also like to ask the owner’s opinion on that.
For your information, you can rest assured that the vehicle procurement cost was sponsored by Geumhyang Chemical’s largest shareholder.”
“… “If you are Geumhyang Chemical’s largest shareholder, you are Eunbyeol.”
“Yes.”
Eunbyeol responded to my dumbfounded expression with a smile and a V with her hand.
Perhaps because she was a maid with more money than her employer, she seemed to have no hesitation about spending money.
“Nominally, since Geumdallae is the president of Geumhyang, the amount of money she can freely manage is not that much, but at least I can provide generous support to the extent that there is no inconvenience in relation to the operation of the master’s guild.”
“… Shouldn’t I be the one paying the salary? No matter what, it’s still a relationship between the owner and the maid.”
“Master, for saving my life and for redeeming and disposing of the Golden Rose and the Golden Dallae, I have already received a lifetime worth of allowances.
“All the assets, intangible resources, and even my body that are now in my name are all yours, so you don’t have to feel any burden.”
“… Yes, thank you.”
To be honest, saying this itself was a burden, but I didn’t have to say it. I don’t think there’s any need to pour cold water on Eunbyul’s expression of how much affection she has for me.
It may seem like a bit too much loyalty compared to what I did for her, but after all, her Eunbyeol was also a hunter from her foundation. For her, her country cannot be replaced by anyone else, so she wants to express her sincerity to the fullest extent possible.
… The most I could give Eun-byeol in return was to satisfy her sexual fetish.
“Eunbyeol drives the car herself, right? “Are there no other drivers?”
“Yes, master.”
“Good. “Then, would you like to take off those cumbersome clothes first, Eunbyeol?”
“Yes?”
“I mean clothes. “It’s just me and Eunbyeol in the car anyway, so there’s no need to wear them, right?”
“… Confirmed.”
Even though Eunbyeol was able to obtain the position of chairman of Geumhyang Group, Eunbyeol came back to serve as my secretary and maid.
It was time to remind her why she had no choice but to be loyal to me.
