Today also my boss was ruthless and as he said, instead of a very delicious dinner, hard extra work ensued..
And because of that.
I was not able to enter my beautiful house, which is only 10 minutes away from me, until the clock approached midnight.
'He's really cruel and crazy.'
I was scammed at my job..
Today again, I am physically and mentally exhausted from so much work.
I quickly enjoyed the bath water and warm soup prepared by the maid, then I warmed myf in the blankets.
The blanket she pulled made a gentle rustling sound and smelled as if the pure sunlight had melted into it.
“The weather must have been nice today.”
Realizing today's weather from inside the blanket, isn't my life really sad?
How is this different from my previous life?
This is a bit bitter.
Although I became the main character in the novel, the reality is that I become a slave in exchange for money...
This is no different from my previous life.
“Ha-ha-ha…”
A breath came out of my mouth, and I couldn't tell if it was a sigh or a yawn...
However, on the other hand, I felt like I was really lucky.
When I first arrived in the capital, I was very afraid, fearing that I would not have such normal times.
About a year ago Has there ever been a time in my life when I felt as nervous as I did when I got off the train in D.C.?
It happened at the same time that Roslita in the original work came to the capital, and the purpose was to meet the male lead, Cassian Artiz.
I was having nightmares and was afraid that all kinds of miserable events would await me, just as happened to the protagonist Roslita in the original work.
‘What awaited me were not miserable events, but a cruel boss crushing my days with work.’
It was no coincidence that I was the only one applying for those good conditions...
“Ms.
Salis, you can go home after completing these documents today.”
If he didn't constantly say such words, I wouldn't hate him so much.
Can I go home only after completing these documents?
At first I didn't realize it because of the generous salary, but this became a daily nightmare.
However, humans are adaptable creatures.
As I got used to the reality of overworking myf over and over again, I began to curse the amount of work the cruel Cassian gave me.
As if he wouldn't let me enjoy the salary even for a few seconds, he always started giving me mountains of work.
“This should be simple for you, Miss Saliss, right?”
Moreover, if I could create a modicum of freedom by moving my hands desperately quickly to get out of work on time, as if it were some kind of step-by-step adaptation.
“Okay, Rose.
Thanks to you, this work was completed quickly.
So, I will ask you to do it as well before you leave work.”
He was giving me more work, as if he was waiting for me to adapt.
But the reason I can't quit is...
'The salary is very good!'
Even a basic salary of 500 gold is equivalent to about 5 million won in my previous life, which is actually difficult for a newcomer with no experience to receive.
Just like in my previous life.
But Kasyan sharpens people harshly.
You get paid as much as you work.
In the last year or so, my salary has been over 1500 gold sometimes..
Despite this, there were almost no days off that month.
With no food and rent expenses, the money piled up, and it looked like I might be able to see the end of household debt that I thought I might never be able to pay off in my lifetime.
It will probably end in about…
20 years?
Isn't that enough to make me feel less desperate?
In my previous life, I had to pay the bank for a longer period of time to be able to buy a house.
'And my parents are holding on too.'
Since we at least defended the area, if there was a good harvest, or a hot spring appeared somewhere, or mana stones were suddenly discovered, it might be faster..
And if I keep making money consistently like I'm doing now, I'll be able to start a business with the money I've made!
At that time, I will definitely enjoy the privileges of being reincarnated as a female protagonist without hesitation!
I can't continue to work under Cassian for 20 years.
If that happened, I would definitely die from overwork first.
'But the situation is really peaceful.'
I continued my thoughts, struggling against my eyes, which were closing with sleep.
Is it an inevitable characteristic of office workers that they feel bad when going to bed early even without a smartphone in their hands?
Muffled laughter escaped my lips.
I'm lucky to be able to vent these daily complaints, and the reason I curse Cassian is simply because he's my boss...
After becoming Roslita, I avoided associating with Cassian, but I didn't hate him.
After all, he was the hero in a novel I enjoyed reading, and he often showed a warm side to the heroine, rather than an evil boss.
There was also a part of me that tried not to interfere because it was clear that not only would I suffer, but he would too.
Cassian Artyz, Second Prince of the Empire.
Handsome appearance, high working ability..
He is unparalleled in the use of the sword.
He truly had the high qualities befitting a hero
As befits the hero of a tragic novel, his life was full of challenges.
Not only did he lose his mother at birth, but he was also born without the blue eyes that were supposed to be normal for the direct imperial lineage.
Of course, the imperial family was turned upside down.
Not being born with blue eyes was obviously a big deal, but the prince's eyes were purple...
“It's an ill-fated child!”
The Empress, who was the mother of the First Prince, screamed in horror as soon as she learned of this fact, and condemned him.
The Emperor also found it difficult to embrace his son.
Beautiful blonde hair and purple eyes.
He did not inherit any of these qualities from the Emperor.
Well, thanks to that, Cassian had a really hard time.
When he was young, he nearly died from hunger, killers, and poison.
When he grew up a little, he was only sent to dangerous battlefields.
In the original work, sharing Roita with him was one of those many life-or-death moments.
Cassian, who had always gotten over things on his own, began to live for Roslita, cherishing the value and affection of someone else's first touch, or something like that...
'Is it because I, Roita, ran away?'
The current Cassian has largely escaped the threats, but instead has become a truly cold-blooded person with no blood or tears.
Should I say that because he has become a workaholic and has so much to do, even the Emperor can't touch him easily?
Thanks to that, I, his subordinate, get crushed too, haha.
After completely cursing Cassian in my mind, I closed my eyes.
I have to sleep quickly.
If I wanted to survive another day, I would be close to death due to the overwork imposed on me by my boss.
“From the standpoint of wanting to hire you, it might be a rude thing to say, but why would a young noblewoman want to work?”
Cassian, who was very kind and friendly throughout the interview, asked me in a soft, calm voice at the end.
“Moreover, you should have naturally participated in the debut ceremony at this time.”
He seemed very sad for me..
Empathy, it was very welcome to me at that time.
I ended up answering very frankly.
Because my family circumstances are not in a position that allows me to care about such matters.
I should not mistake the slight change in expression on his face for sympathy.
Why didn't I realize then that it was the joy of having a subordinate who couldn't escape easily?
“…I shouldn’t sign…”
I woke up terrified, groaning as if I was in pain, and let out a huge sigh.
It was a dream.
'I want to go back in time...'
It's not about me being the main character.
To see my boss's face in my dreams, which is more painful than seeing him for fourteen hours a day...
There is no doubt that this indicates that the day will be difficult and unlucky.
This intuition became certain when she looked at the clock on the desk.
“My morning sleep...I wasted 5 minutes.”
This enemy-like Cassian Artiz isn't really useful for anything except salary..
I wanted to sleep a little more, but perhaps because of the bad dream, the sleepiness completely disappeared.
I started getting ready for work while holding my head.
Today was supposed to be a busy day with field work according to schedule.
The end of the year was busy, both in my previous life and here.
After drinking the strong coffee that the maid had prepared at my request to completely wake myf up, I headed to the office to see Cassian not looking much different than he did when he first asked me to come in yesterday..
'Has this workaholic gone home?'
Of course, he's dressed differently, and judging by his impeccable appearance, it looks like he visited his room, but still...
"Are you that comfortable, Rose?
You've been staring at me since morning."
The anxiety I had at hearing his uncomfortable voice had disappeared.
“Not at all, Your Highness.
I was just making sure your shirt collar was in order, as we have outside schedules today.”
“Unlike you, Rose, I make no such mistake.”
Cassian said this with a low laugh.
Normally, when someone said something like that, he would touch his shirt collar once, but he didn't even raise his head, apparently he didn't even suspect, as he finished organizing the documents he was looking at...
He also managed to remember to gather materials for today's field work before he finished what he was doing.
Because if I were even a little late, I would have to hear his annoying sarcastic comments.
Carrying the precious bag containing the documents, I opened the office door wide to coincide with his arrival.
I'm not trying to brag, but the timing was really perfect.
But…
“Hmm.”
Instead of walking out immediately as usual, Cassian Artiz stopped for a moment and stared at me..
“What is the matter, Your Highness?”
He raised the corner of his mouth playfully and extended his hand to my ear.
“Your Highness?”
When she shouted in confusion, the smile on his lips became deeper.
“Shhh”
He shushed me, apparently teasing me, then ran his finger between my earlobe and my jaw, as if he were tickling me.
“A lock of your hair was sticking out.
Poor thing.”
He said jokingly, and put the stray hair to my ear.
“I will be generous, so come after you arrange yourf well.
Of course, there will be no deduction from your salary.”
“L
“Nothing could make my perfect assistant sadder than losing her hair like that.”
Cassian said this, and did not forget the courtesy of closing the office door forcefully.
She stared expressionlessly at the door with that unnecessary consideration for a moment, then silently writhed inside.
'You're really annoying, Cassian Artiz!'
