I am not a returner Episode 246
Celebration Party (2)
Buuuuung.
The streets of Seoul are densely connected like a spider’s web.
A luxurious limousine, like something you would see in Hollywood, was driving on a gray road.
“Heheheheung~♬”
A hum that comes out naturally.
Her shoulders lifted with a sense of warmth and satisfaction that was even greater than the luxurious leather seats of a limousine costing tens of billions of won.
“Oh, I’m sorry, Miss.”
Is it because I was humming and shaking my body?
The maid who was sitting next to me and helping me with my makeup looked embarrassed and corrected my misaligned eyeliner.
“no. “I’m sorry for making a sudden move.”
Isabella, who had been humming excitedly like an elementary school student the day before a picnic, smiled at the maid.
“You seem to be in a good mood for some reason. “You’ve been in bad shape for the past few weeks.”
Roberto, an old man driving a limousine, glanced at the back seat and asked.
“That’s because I have finally taken care of some of the things I had been putting off.”
When Ojin managed to escape from the Demon Lord.
Isabella felt the need to increase the power of the Colgrande family, which had been idle for a while.
‘We need someone to help Mr. Oh Jin in an emergency situation.’
Although Ojin had outstanding skills, he had nothing that could be called a force.
Although it had the advantage of being able to operate freely because there was no force involved, it also meant that it lacked a solid foundation to support it in an emergency situation.
Of course, there was an association, but in the end, the association was a national organization and not a group solely for misdiagnosis.
Isabella returned to the Colgrande family, which she had neglected for a while, in order to create a force that would serve as her arm and leg.
* * *
It took only a few weeks to gather the forces of the family that had been scattered by Damian Salvator.
Even after hearing the sad news that Oh Jin was participating in the Chilseong Council, he did not make any contact and concentrated on his work.
“Hmm. “Is that the only reason you feel good?”
A mischievous smile appeared on the face of the gentle old gentleman.
“…What do you want to say?”
“Haha no. “I suddenly remembered the first time I met my wife.”
“Focus on driving, Roberto.”
Isabella cut off Roberto’s long love story with a single stroke.
She looked out the window and calmed down her excited mind a little.
“Anyway, lady.”
Melissa, the maid who was sitting next to her and helping her with her makeup, looked at Isabella with an embarrassed expression.
Even in the midst of the hard work that continued day after day, Isabella’s appearance was so beautiful and noble that even the same woman would stop breathing for a moment when she looked at her.
“…Are you really okay with that outfit?”
Clothes that don’t match his noble appearance.
It was a classic type of maid’s uniform that was not often worn by even maids hired by the family these days.
“Hehe. “This clothing has been well received before.”
Isabella smiled faintly and relaxedly leaned back against the back of the chair.
With a relaxed expression, she stroked the deep cleavage that was slightly visible.
“Mr. Oh Jin is completely infatuated with me. Some kind of service to your loyal pet? “It does something similar.”
“aha! “You were giving me a reward!”
“Yes. “I’m dressed like this, but in terms of the master-slave relationship, I’m closer to the master, right?”
Isabella stands proudly.
Actually, it wasn’t Ojin that I was obsessed with, but Isabella.
In order to maintain her dignity as a ‘queen’ in front of her subordinates, she spoke with a bit of exaggeration(?).
“As expected, it’s Isabella!”
Melissa’s eyes sparkled and she clenched her fists.
Isabella’s nose rose even higher as she received gazes filled with awe.
“Hehe. Do you understand, Melissa? The most important thing in love is initiative. Making the other person love you more. Something that makes it impossible for you to live even a day without me. “That’s what we call initiative in love.”
“Then, the maid’s uniform that Isabella wore…”
“A man is an animal that likes to have the illusion that he is in control. “In reality, it’s just playing in the palm of my hand.”
“Wow.”
Melissa let out a short exclamation and nodded repeatedly.
Certainly, there is no outfit more appropriate than a maid uniform that can make the other person ‘mistakenly believe’ that you have the initiative.
“Then Noerang…”
“Pagunseong.”
“yes?”
“Now it’s not Noerang, but Pagunseong. “Melissa heard that Mr. Oh Jin became a member of the Chilseong, right?”
Isabella spoke with the excitement of a wife who had been bragging about her husband’s promotion for hours at the women’s club in the apartment building.
“This time, Mr. Oh Jin was proudly selected as Chilseong, beating out prominent competitors such as Namgung Hui, the Wind God from the Namgung family, which is said to be the best family in China, and Orlando Bale of England, also known as Jason Hardy Shingung of the United States. And that’s without even becoming a high-level awakened person yet! “Melissa knows how great this is, right?”
“Ah… yes. “That’s right.”
“And there is a rumor that the title of Pagunseong is a title given to the most powerful awakened person among the Seven Stars. This means that there are many constellations that recognize Mr. Oh Jin’s abilities and talents.”
Melissa distanced herself with a tired expression as her husband’s boasts (?) poured out like a bomber.
“Anyway, the breakdown….”
“Melissa?”
“yes?”
“Should I add the letter ‘nim’?”
Eerie blue eyes hidden behind a pretty smile.
Melissa shivered and nodded like a woodpecker building a nest.
Isabella stroked Melissa’s head, who nodded with a satisfied smile.
“What did you mean to say earlier?”
“So Pagunseong is already in a relationship with Isabella?”
“….”
Isabella’s face stiffened for a moment.
She stroked her hair and slightly averted her gaze.
“Of course. Should we say that we have already made a promise to each other for the future? Well, that is also a promise that Mr. Oh Jin unilaterally requested from me as if he was pleading.”
I continue speaking with as much composure as possible.
“You’ve fallen for me so much that Mr. Ojin has asked me to suck your blood first?”
Well, it is true that Ojin asked her to take blood first.
“Oh my! “You even asked me to suck your blood first?”
Melissa, who had the same stigmata of Leech as Isabella, knew very well the meaning of vampirism for an awakened Leech.
“yes. Even knowing that the soul is enslaved.”
Hehehe.
Isabella leisurely crossed her legs and shrugged her shoulders.
Melissa looked at Isabella with eyes full of envy.
“Can I… become a wonderful woman who can control men like Isabella?”
“Oh, of course. “Isn’t Melissa very cute?”
Isabella smiled brightly and gently caressed Melissa’s cheek.
Melissa, who looked like a simple country girl with shoulder-length chestnut brown hair and freckles, had a pretty face among her maids.
“…You can’t be like Isabella by being cute.”
Melissa pouted her lips and made a pouty expression.
Isabella laughed lightly and turned her head to look out the window.
In the distance, I could see the apartment where Oh Jin lived.
My heart is pounding.
The heart starts to beat violently.
An impulse different from the impulse to suck blood heated my head.
“ha.”
At a time when a limousine traveling at 80 km/h felt as frustrating as a slow turtle.
“Im here.”
“Good job Roberto.”
Sweet.
Isabella opened the door opened by Roberto and came out.
When a dazzling beauty wearing a maid uniform got out of a luxurious limousine, all eyes were instantly focused.
Isabella walked straight toward the apartment as if she didn’t care about what others thought.
“I’ll take you to the front door.”
“are you okay. “I’ll go up alone, so go back first.”
“Yes ma’am. “I will be waiting for you at a nearby hotel.”
Roberto bowed deeply and returned to the car.
Isabella got into the elevator with excited steps.
In front of the front door, Isabella calmed her trembling heart and took a deep breath.
“Hmm.”
After clearing her throat for a moment, she took out a hand mirror and checked her makeup.
‘Perfect.’
Melissa’s skills were as good as ever.
After checking all her makeup, Isabella looked at the mirror and smiled seductively.
“It’s been a while, Oh Jin.”
“Why maid uniform? Hehe, of course I am Oh Jin’s exclusive maid.”
“Or… is a master-slave relationship alone not enough?”
Isabella practices her lines alone in the middle of the hallway, imagining Ojin’s reaction in her head.
If Melissa saw it, her eyes would open wide and she would be shocked.
‘good. ‘It’s just going to go on like this!’
Isabella clenched her fists and ignited her fighting spirit.
Sweet.
When she carefully opened the front door, she saw what was in front of her.
“No why! “It doesn’t even wear out!”
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”
The two people are showing off their affection by clinging to each other since early morning.
Of course, from Ojin’s point of view, he could have felt unfair and wondered if this was showing off his affection, but in Isabella’s eyes, it could only be seen as two people dressed in scantily clad clothes salting their hair.
“….”
Eyes turning cold.
A cold atmosphere filled the house, as if even the air was freezing.
“Now you two… “What are you doing?”
“Uh…”
“That’s it.”
The two people froze.
Isabella chewed her lips with an expression of resentment.
Some people held back their desire to meet Oh Jin and worked day and night to create a force that would support him.
Ha-eun and Oh Jin have been spending sweet, happy days in the meantime!
“This is shameful, sister…!”
Isabella completely forgot the lines she had practiced in front of the entrance and grabbed Ha-eun, who was clinging to Oh-jin.
“I wanted to be with Oh Jin too!”
Isabella screams like a child whose toy was taken away.
There, the image of the queen holding a man on her palm and squeezing him could no longer be found.
* * *
“Have you calmed down?”
After a brief scuffle.
Ojin offered warm coffee to Isabella, who was squatting on the living room sofa with a sullen expression on her face.
“…joy.”
Isabella sipped the coffee that Ojin handed her and narrowed her eyes.
“I guess Mr. Oh Jin didn’t want to see you while I was gone?”
“That can’t be possible.”
Oh Jin shook his head and sat down next to her.
For the first few days, I thought it was good to be able to spend time alone with Ha-eun for the first time in a while, but as the week went by, I started missing Isabella’s absence.
‘For some reason, I feel like a piece of trash managing the fishing grounds.’
In fact, it wasn’t wrong, considering that Isabella knew that she had feelings for him but couldn’t push him away.
If I were to make a lame excuse, it was because I had Ha-eun’s permission to stay close to Isabella.
‘That’s not all.’
Oh Jin looked down at his hands with a bitter expression.
As expected, there was too much to grasp. To the point of excessiveness.
“I don’t know.”
Isabella turned her head as if annoyed.
But even for a moment.
She was scratching the living room floor with her toes and carefully turned her head towards Ojin.
“…You really thought of me, right?”
“Without it, the house was quite lonely.”
“Hehe. I’m glad you said that even if it was just an empty word.”
A warm smile appeared on Isabella’s lips.
I was clearly very angry just a moment ago, but I can’t believe I felt so happy after just a few words.
‘I can never tell Melissa.’
Isabella sighed and got up.
match!
She clapped her hands vigorously to shake off her depressed mood and spun around to face Oh Jin.
“Now that I think about it, Mr. Ojin!”
“huh?”
“How are you going to have a celebration party?”
“ok?”
What a celebration party?
“Of course, it’s a party to celebrate Mr. Oh Jin becoming Chilseong!”
Isabella’s eyes were shining, and no matter where she looked, she looked as if she had just heard the news of her husband’s promotion.
