He is obsessed with me after I saved him - Chapter 12

“Meichel. What did His Highness ask me just now?“

“He asked if you agreed.”

“That’s why, what was the reason?”

“What do you mean? Of course it was for a meeting.”

“Meeting?”

Aha. Do I agree with the results of the meeting?

“Oh, yes. Of course.“

I hurried to clean up the atmosphere of silence and answered Carlos.

Can I disagree in the first place? It would be a good principle of democracy to follow the majority vote.

The embarrassment and nervousness that I felt previously began to dressed up for a while.

Carlos’s face, which was crumpling his forehead with indifference, was also brightening.

“Is that so?”

After putting down the report, he leaned against the board and said those three words.

Now he was almost smiling, so his eyes were wide open.

“Yes. It’s totally okay without having to ask me anything else. “I’ll always be in favor of you, so you don’t have to come out like this next time.”
“Yes. It’s completely alright, no need to ask me. I will always be extremely positive, so next time, His Highness doesn’t have to be so kind to me.”

Well, who would like to ask if they agree with each meeting?

My answer simply ended. However, his response in return was a little strange.

“… Was it that good?”

“Yes?”

Do I like the results of today’s meeting?

Looking back, he reluctantly expressed his consent.

It can’t be a good thing to save and treat people when you’re in a dangerous situation too.

“Ri- right?”

“Then that’s it. The results have been unanimously decided, so we will start adjusting the schedule from today.”

Carlos, who smiled softly, turned around and placed his pen on the large board. After that, there were more and more bold letters.

「On the 29th. List of regular meeting attendees for each branch of the Royal Security Agency」

I belatedly realized something was wrong.

「 Team Leader, Carlos – Team Member, Rose Luthiens 」

Wa- wait a minute. Please save me!

••
Regular meetings for each branch of the Royal Security Bureau.

Annoying and cumbersome meetings in which Security Teams from all over the world gather together to hold competitions for next month as the end of the month approaches.

Usually, considering the size of the seats, not everyone could attend, so about two people were selected from the branch.

The two were, of course, a team leader and a manager.

The Velos Territory Security Team I belong to, was no different.

In the past, the Team Leader was vacant, so I knew that Ishid went with Manager Dice.

The list of attendees for this March was turned upside down in an instant.

“What kind of…”

I’ve only seen it twice in my life.

The first was when he was possessed by this world as a supporting character and wanted a sweet life, but was dragged into the Royal Institution due to the manifestation of healing power.

The second was right now.

When our Male Lead, Carlos, who is famous for being vicious beyond viciousness, went to work without me somewhere alone!

“We don’t have much time, so we should move quickly.”

“‥.”

“Everyone in their place, disperse now.”

I looked at Carlos and the whiteboard alternately with empty eyes.

I’ve decided who will attend the regular meeting, so I have to finish this.

‘Who dared to…’

I hurriedly raised my hand, but it quickly fell down.

“Everyone, un-unite! Fight today too! Let’s go out together, Ishid.”

“Great. Just in time, a second sponsor from the Ministry of Culture came in. Why don’t you have a glass of hibiscus before work?”

“Oh! Isid, I’m going with you. I am very curious about the scent, ho ho ho.”

It was because the quick-witted team Members took my documents one by one and disappeared as if they were bouncing out the door.

There was no time to hold them by hand. I couldn’t even catch it.

I didn’t have the courage to call on Dice, who was sweating profusely, Ishid, who was timid, and Macel, whose complexion looked pale as if she was about to vomit.

Without even imagining how embarrassed they must have been at the sudden new face, and the rumored, ignorant first prince, was difficult.

Somehow, I was the one who was left with the burden of everyone.

However, this was clearly a disappointment.

“ Ha ha! Ha ha ha…”

It’s really a small world, and indifferent.

When I come to my senses, would you believe me if I was entangled with the Main Character who might give me death like a dog?

It was the first such coincidence in my life. It’s a life-lined coincidence. It was the most terrible thing in my 20 years of life.

The small and narrow meeting room was empty in an instant due to the absence of several people.

Except for me, and Carlos.

“Uhm, oh, uhm…”

I rolled my eyes due to the burden and it landed on Carlos’ leg.

The distance between the board he leaned on and my seat weren’t too far.

I wonder, it takes about five steps. No, seven steps?

The conversation that had been cut off continued as I looked at the relationship that had taken place with him indifferently.

Carlos was the Leader.

“Why aren’t you asking me anything.”

“Yes?”

Huh?

It was then that my eyes, which had been focused only on the ground, met Carlos’s eyes.

At first glance, it looks expressionless, but a little bit of expression came out.

A handful of exhalations flashed across his beautiful face.

“You’ve been staring at me for a while”.

“…”

“I’m just curious if there’s dust on it.“

His wide arms slowly unlocked and pointed at the table.

The vibration of the table was shallow. It was just enough for me to feel.

“Ah…”

I quickly withdrew my eyes and gathered my hands in the middle.

My shoulders trembled a little. This was because I was scared again as a whole by the frightening Carlos.

As expected, that’s right. It hit me in my head because I remembered something I almost forgot.

Fear felt instinctively. A shock was approaching.

I’m afraid of Carlos.

“Team leader.”

“Yes.”

“But why does it have to be me?”

Nevertheless, the problem was that I had to say what I wanted even though fear was already encircling me.

He stood up politely raising his head. I had something to tell him.

As far as I remember, the time I blanked out was short.

Therefore, the story that the Team Members have been talking about was also simple.

The reason why Carlos went after excluding existing participants.

Even if Carlos was the new Team Leader and head, why did I suddenly become like this?

There was an option to guess, but I put it back for a while.

It will be easier and faster to listen to the person’s story.

I swallowed my dry saliva.

“Please tell me. Why me?

The answer came back as soon as the noise of the creaking chair filled the silence.

“What do you mean?”

It was a soft but hard voice.

It was a short time, but I heard it.

Carlos’s smile faded. It became awry.

I clenched my fist.

It was true that I was still afraid of being alone with the Male Protagonist.

If the day comes when the three of them cut off the original start with Eljevita, the death of an unanswered dog will be more comfortable.

But in the meantime, this was certain.

I’m just scared, not a little bit of courage for the attempt itself.

“I’m not a Manager.”

“Yes, you’re not.”

“That doesn’t mean I’m the Team Leader representing the Security Team.“

Carlos nodded.

It was a gesture of gentle agreement with me.

“I’m only a Member of a Team. Nothing special. There was no achievement in my work, and I met you, Team Leader, for the first time today, and I’ve never talked you before.“

The calm black eyebrows wriggled.

The tightly closed lips also showed flexible movement.

The voice was not as kind as before.

“Are you asking me why you’re accompanying me?”

“Yes. I’m just curious.”

“It wasn’t a big deal. There was just no person who wanted to join the competition, no one applied, and Ms. Luthiens, who was asked for her opinion, replied with “okay.“

“No, I didn’t know that question was for that consent!”

I thought you agreed to the meeting!

The moment I hit the table loudly, I thought I was wrong.

Unlike Carlos, who looked this way without agitation, the heat I revealed was increasing in an instant.

The corners of my mouth were twitching. Don’t get me wrong, I thought I was too weird to laugh.

Now that I’ve been caught misunderstanding the meaning of the meeting.

In the end, it was a matter of time for me to be honest.

“… I’m sorry. I couldn’t concentrate on the meeting.“

“Fine. I heard about Ms. Lucies’ grace period as they came. For that reason, I thought it would be cluttered.”

“Yes…”

“In conclusion, it would have been good.”

A low voice that murmurs like it’s spilling.

Surprised, I turned my head away. Carlos, who slowly walked this way, was reflected like a round view.

One step.

The navy necktie that was tightening his neck slipped down.

“By the way. This is not the case either.”

Two steps.

Only black hair covering the forehead was entangled in a soft touch and was returned to where it belonged.

“I’ll ask Miss Luthiens officially.”

“…”

Three steps.

“Did we really meet for the first time?”

It was touching. The pitch-black truth buried between the two.
