Jingle..
Talk..
Chuck..
These sounds were nothing but sound effects of various documents placed in front of me.
“Your hand has stopped, Rose.”
With such a crazy and abusive manager..
“Is it fun for you?”
I stared at the owner of this insane amount of work in protest, then responded with a shallow sigh before moving my hand again.
My hands were stained with ink.
The first joint of my middle finger was rougher than it had been in my previous life as a student!
I really miss the laptop keyboard that I used to curse in my previous life.
I expressed within myf dozens of complaints, but I could not deny the reality, and I continued to process the huge amount of papers, and focused on the sound of the tip of the pen.
How did it come to this?
I'm sure I'm supposed to be reincarnated as the heroine of this work.
Just because I changed the original a little..
Isn't it exaggerated that my family is exposed to complete bankruptcy..!
Roita Sallis, the precious only daughter of the Baron Sallis family.
This was my name and my position in my second life.
Incarnation in a novel, although I have seen it countless times in novels that I read for pleasure, I never thought it could become a reality..
If I had known that such a future awaited me, I would have chosen to read only warm, healing works.
Then perhaps you were born as a beloved little girl, or as a nanny serving a beloved child.
But in my past life, the novels that I read in order to temporarily forget the pain of reality were very many and varied in classification...
So when I was born into a tragic work among those various books, I should have realized that...
I have no luck at all.
But there was a reason I didn't realize that.
Even if the classification was disappointing, the character I played was not a villain or an extra mentioned in a couple of lines, but rather the heroine of the novel.
'Although her life was one in which she faced death seven times and was filled with frequent kidnapping and threats, the ending was definitely happy.'
That's why when I realized that I was born as a heroine in such a depressing work, I really wanted to change my fate.
In my previous life, I was just an ordinary person who relieved his stress through novels and entertainment programs.
How can someone like me overcome all kinds of difficulties and adversity as a hero?
There is no way I can do this.
'God, I don't know why you put me in such a life, but I'm not qualified..'
At about the age of seven, when I realized that this world was a depressing novel, I admitted this, at least in my heart.
That's why I was hoping to voluntarily give up my role to some zealous evil character or additional incarnate who might have appeared in this world.
I never wanted to be the heroine of a great work.
I'm just satisfied with being the heroine of my normal, quiet life.
The Salles baronial family into which I was born had a reasonable standard of living, and my parents were loving and did not do foolish things.
Just as they always worried about and supported the protagonist in the original work, nothing has changed in their role as my parents.
So I changed my fate a little..
From the life of Roita, the heroine of the novel who was involved in saving the male hero in childhood, to just the ordinary life of a rural noblewoman...
Even then, I wasn't really expecting it..
Just trying to live a normal life...
“I'm sorry, Roita.”
“Our beloved daughter, of all times, the year before your debut ceremony...”
It will lead to the price being paid by bankrupting the entire family.
If I had known this was going to happen, I would have done what Roslita did in the original.
I regretted it deeply when I looked at the family who had barely managed to keep the land and the palace after ling all the valuables..
There were also remaining debts to be paid.
But it was already too late...
'If I had touched the role of a heroine, I would have felt like I would actually have to live the life of a heroine...'
But now is not the time to choose.
Business?
This requires capital and a strong foundation...
There is no point in waving to a train that has already left, hoping that it will turn back.
“Don't worry too much, Roita, we will definitely protect you.”
My kind and caring parents told me that, but I was not the type to sit still and believe only those words.
Wasn't I the one who stubbornly lived to take care of myf in his previous life?
It would be ridiculous for me, who grew up healthy with all my limbs intact, to rely solely on my parents and do nothing.
So, unlike other girls my age, I joined the workforce instead of preparing for my debut party.
But my status as a baron's daughter made it difficult to find work, and I had to search everywhere and inquire.
Most places have rejected me outright based on my situation, the rest are mostly involved in illegal activities..
After a lot of difficulty, I was finally able to find a legitimate, legal, and very well-paid job.
Even though it was an assistant position to the main hero...
But humans are weak, and in the end, I made a request...
When you're about to starve, is it time to worry about the fate you'll face in a book?
People cannot live without food.
I tried so hard not to get involved with the hero, but now I'm so desperate...
Less than two weeks after submitting the application, I received notification of the interview.
And so, in the winter of my nineteenth year...
I, Roslita Salles, chose to go to DC to somehow protect my family.
Coincidentally, this was the same age that Roita in the original work entered the capital with the hero..
Looking back, the red alarm was going off loudly from that interview.
“Please come, Miss Saliss.”
For some reason, I was the only one who arrived at the interview location.
“We have been waiting for you for a long time, Miss Salis.
If Saliss’ lands were a little closer, we would have sent a royal carriage.”
The one who received me with a kind and bright attitude was the hero, who was cold towards everyone except the heroine of the original work, and sometimes even towards her.
“Thank you.
You are very kind, Your Highness.”
When he saw my embarrassed reaction to his sudden words and his idea that he could become my boss, the prince smiled a rather annoying smile – which I only noticed after working alongside him for a while.
“So nice?
The documents you included with your resume were so impressive that I thought I would definitely regret letting you go.”
The fact is that the Prince, who was arrogant with others, was for some reason very polite to me, the country noblewoman, that day – looking back, it seemed to have been full of suspicious points.
“The interview is just a formality.
I called you to discuss your working conditions.
Since your area is far away, it would be appropriate for you to start work immediately.”
The hero very cleverly offered conditions that I could not refuse at all.
“The terms of employment that I want to present to Ms.
Sallis are as written in this document.”
The contract he handed me while saying that was more innovative than the world of my previous life where labor laws were set, and much better than the job advertisement.
A basic monthly salary of 500 gold.
Overtime pay is calculated at twice the hourly wage.
Working hours: 8 hours a day, with an hour break.
A two-storey house will be provided, 10 minutes by car or 30 minutes on foot from the workplace.
Providing a maid, and providing three meals a day or a compensation meal.
It also includes a monthly clothing payment of 50 gold.
20 vacation days per year and the working week is 4 days.
Overtime work is compensated with alternative leave or double pay.
The end-of-service reward is separate from the retirement salary upon resignation.
I didn't realize that the very good conditions were hiding a trap, so I ended up signing like this..
Signed with the name Roslita Salles, elegantly, in large letters.
And now, I, Roita Salles, think to myf….
“Rose.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“It's six o'clock in the evening, which you like very much.”
I gritted my teeth when I heard those words.
Why are you happy?
jingle.
The hero showed an evil smile, and placed another pile of documents on my desk.
“It's the overtime hours with double pay that you like.”
Why was the phrase “alternative leave” or “double pay” written?
They also prepared low-alcohol wines..
I should have realized why “3 meals or a make-up meal” was provided.
This means that overtime and working on weekends are frequent.
“There's no better place to work than this, right, Rose?”
He spoke with that big smile
I raised the corners of my mouth and smiled forcedly, when I looked at that smile..
What a devil.
I really shouldn't have gotten involved with the hero...
