The next morning, as Wise groggily woke up, he felt something fluffy covering his face, along with two soft lips pressed against his cheek. Feeling strange, he slowly opened his eyes and instantly saw what was on his face. It was Corin.
That's right. After dinner last night, she hadn't gone home but had chosen to stay the night at the video store. Of course, the main reason was that Wise had asked her to stay. And now, she was lying on top of him. Although she swung a giant hammer around every day, she was still just a girl, and her body was very light and soft. Having her lie on him wasn't a burden for Wise at all. Furthermore, she didn't have a habit of drooling in her sleep, so there was no problem.
... (Deleted)
Wise's gaze sharpened at Corin's movements. Although it was morning...
A long while later, Wise finally got up and left the room. As for Corin, who was still in the room, she had also been awakened. Kneeling on the bed with her fair thighs spread apart, she wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and swallowed. (It really was just drool, possibly because her mouth was slightly open while she slept, which is a normal phenomenon. Have you never drooled in your sleep?)
Her slightly tired crimson eyes held a hint of resentment as she stared at Wise, who had gone to prepare breakfast. As for Belle, who was on the side, she had actually been awake for a long time and was just pretending to be asleep. You have to understand, she received the same treatment as Corin every day, so it was no wonder she pretended to be asleep.
Wise, having gone downstairs, first opened the shop door and saw Hedy, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Seeing the door finally open, she sighed. "Manager, you opened the shop much later than usual today..." You should exercise some self-control!
Hedy's amber eyes held a peculiar emotion. As an employee of the video store, how could she not know about her manager's chaotic relationship with those three girls? (Referring to Anby, Nekomata, and Ellen; she either didn't know about or hadn't met the others.) But even so, was the manager really that capable? Juggling three girls at once, and being able to satisfy each of their needs!
Hedy sighed inwardly as she walked into the store, only to see Corin, now fully dressed, coming down from upstairs. She was stunned. Corin, however, didn't react. After telling Wise she had company matters to attend to, she left without even having breakfast.
But her actions made Hedy look at Wise with astonishment. Her expression clearly said: I was careless. I never thought you were juggling FOUR girls, Manager!
Wise didn't check Hedy's inner thoughts. If he had, he might have just smiled calmly and shown her the group photo he had with all the girls. Though that was unlikely, since he had taken that photo secretly and couldn't let others know about it.
"Hedy, did you have breakfast before you came? Want to eat something together? Consider it compensation for making you wait so long." Wise looked at Hedy gently.
Hearing his words, her body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously swallowed. The manager... is he finally going to make a move on me?! (Joy! No, wait, why am I joyful?)
Forget it, now's not the time to think about that. I clearly saw that girl coming down from the second floor, yet the manager still... Isn't this kind of blatant behavior a bit much? Shouldn't something like juggling multiple girls be kept a secret? Why would the manager say that? Is it because he thinks I have a good personality? But even so, I can't really accept being the other woman.
Hedy was incredibly conflicted internally, but her body nodded before her mind could decide.
"Mhm. Is there anything you'd like to eat?" Seeing her agree, Wise asked as he walked towards the kitchen.
But Hedy's heart was in turmoil. Wait, why did I agree? I clearly saw...
"I'm not a picky eater. Whatever the manager wants to make is fine." Oh well, since I've already agreed, it would be rude to refuse now.
...
A short while later, Belle also woke up. The three of them sat at the dining table, eating breakfast. For some reason, she felt this scene was very familiar. It seemed that every girl caught in her brother's clutches had gone through a similar experience.
Belle's gaze lingered strangely on Hedy for a moment before she looked away, but it was still sharp enough to be caught by the latter.
It's over, it's over. The manager's sister doesn't seem to like me. She must know everything. Does she think I'm not as good as the manager's other women, so she doesn't approve of me being the other woman? Thinking this, Hedy immediately looked at Wise, who was sitting next to Belle. His expression was unchanged, and other than eating breakfast with one hand, there was nothing strange about him. Not that Hedy would notice these details; her mind was in a complete mess right now.
With her thoughts in disarray, she finished her breakfast. But afterward, the manager she was eagerly anticipating didn't make any move on her. There was no forcing her hand by deliberately catching her making a mistake, no workplace harassment, none of it. Wise simply gave her a few instructions and then went into the first-floor room. Other than Belle going in and out a few times, no one else came out.
This couldn't help but make Hedy feel a little disappointed...
It wasn't until the afternoon that Wise finally came out of the first-floor room. But before she could talk to him, the shop door was pushed open again. Responsible for her job, she could only turn around to greet the customer first. But upon seeing who it was, the smile on Hedy's face froze.
Wise, however, walked up with a smile. "Ellen, it's been a few days. What brings you to the store all of a sudden?"
That's right, the customer who entered was Ellen, wearing her school uniform. Hearing Wise's words, she opened her mouth, then finally said, "I had school the past few days, a lot of homework, and work demands. But after the commission was completed, Lycaon gave me a holiday."
As Ellen spoke, her gaze flickered towards Wise, who was still looking at her. Her meaning was simple: It's not that I didn't want to see you, I just didn't have the time. See? I came over as soon as I was free. It doesn't mean I don't care about you.
