[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone

Chloe tried to dissuade him: "That's not necessary..."

But before she could finish her words, she was stopped by Villette's puzzled look.

You really have the words "Didn't you say that yourself?" written all over your eyes——

Chloe was worried that if she rejected Villette's request, he would see that what she said in Momang Palace that day was nonsense.

Although it was unclear whether there was any law that would send Fontaine to jail for deceiving the Supreme Judge, even eating ketchup alone in a restaurant would be against the law, so it would be better for her not to take the risk.

But she still wanted to struggle again: "Last time you refused, you seemed to want to recommend someone else to me? Why don't we just follow your previous idea?"

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid that's not possible. Ms. Funina has a performance at the Opikle Opera House soon, and Miss Clorinde, the duel agent, will be with her to protect her. I'm afraid she won't be able to spare the time."

This is also one of the reasons why Navilette finally made this arrangement.

Chloe was completely at a loss now and couldn't speak for a long time.

That Villette glanced at the clock in the living room and didn't intend to give her more time to think about the pros and cons of this matter: "Ms. Chloe, the time is almost up, let's go."

Chloe followed him dazedly all the way from the residential area of ​​the Vasari Corridor to the Momang Palace.

The first thing to do when suddenly returning to work was of course to report to the leader, and Villette very considerately took her to Leon's office.

The only way to get to Leon's office was through the offices of all cardiotome officers. Chloe was forced to accept the gazes of her colleagues along the way. Although she had tried to keep a distance from Villette, but -

"Ms. Chloe, please follow me closely."

After she stealthily slowed down her pace and finally kept a distance of three meters from Villette, the latter immediately turned back alertly with a slight frown on his brows.

He even paused and waited for Chloe to reach him.

She could only follow him reluctantly.

Although she did want to get closer to Villette at first, she was really embarrassed in such a public place! And the guy in front of her was just worried that something might go wrong if she stayed too far away from him, and there was no romance in his heart at all.

Why flirt if you don't want to marry, Lord Villette!

Chloe wanted to cry but had no tears.

Fortunately, the situation improved a lot after entering Leon's office. At least those gossiping eyes were blocked outside the door, allowing her to deceive herself for a while.

After all, he was Chloe's direct supervisor, and Leon had heard about the pure white lily of the valley from Villette, so he didn't feel strange about the two of them going in and out together. At most, he wondered why she chose to come back to work at this time.

However, he also knew that there were some details that he should not ask about. After asking for Villette's suggestions for the next arrangements, he thought for a moment and said, "Because Chloe was absent these days, the Court of Compulsion has temporarily assigned her work to another newcomer. Some things are not suitable for transfer midway, so I don't have any other tasks to assign to her for the time being."

Chloe lowered her head in frustration.

"But..." Leon changed the subject, "I remember that the secretary position of Lord Villette has been vacant for many years. Why not let Chloe stay with you and help you for a while."

what?
Chloe looked up suddenly and saw the old man winking at her and giving her an ambiguous smile while Violet was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

Her head is full of black lines.

It seems that you are just as obsessed with the melon as your colleagues outside. ——This person is not only obsessed with it, but also decides to personally help fuel their "romance".

Leon has worked in Momang Palace for so many years, but he has never seen the Supreme Judge care so much about anyone. If you say that this is meaningless, he will be the first to disagree!

But he was an old fellow with a sharp eye after all. He could tell at a glance that although the two were close, the man didn't seem to be enlightened at all. Although the woman was interested, she was hesitant because of the difference in their status.

Tsk tsk tsk, they are still young and have no courage at all.

The guy who loves to worry about the younger generation immediately chose to lend a hand.

The result was just as he expected. After a brief thought, Villette nodded and agreed to his proposal.

"Yes, my secretary position has been vacant for a long time. Originally, Sedna was temporarily responsible for transferring the files to me. Maybe it would be good to let her take a break occasionally."

His tone was the same as usual, but for some reason, Chloe felt that something was wrong with him, especially when he mentioned the word "secretary".

Is it related to the person who served as secretary before?
Chloe couldn't understand.

She had only been working at the Prothrombotic Court for a short time, and her relationship with her colleagues was not very good before she met Villette, let alone listening to other colleagues' gossip, which was simply impossible.

She even just found out about the vacant secretary position for Villette. She had always thought that Sedna would take on the position based on her ability.

She scratched her head, trying to figure out what had happened, but she didn't dare ask Violet.

It was not until she followed Villette back to his office and Sedna received the next work arrangement and came here to hand over to her that she finally couldn't help but turn Melusin aside.

When closing the door, Villette took a break from the heavy workload to glance at them and said, "Ms. Chloe, please don't go too far from the Limomang Palace."

Chloe, who was about to get information from Sedna, suddenly felt guilty and blushed. She muttered softly, "I know, I know..."

In order to avoid her conversation being overheard by her colleagues in the Court of Complexion, she lowered her head and rushed forward, not stopping until she brought Sedna to the deserted corridor at the entrance of the Momang Palace.

She was about to speak when she looked down and saw Sedna covering her mouth and laughing.

"...Sedna, why are you so happy?"

The simple-minded Melusin would not lie, and said cheerfully: "Hehe, seeing Chloe and Lord Villette getting along so well, I feel very happy."

No way? Are you also addicted to melons?
Chloe's pupils trembled, and for a moment she even forgot what she was originally going to ask.

Finally, Sedna was still thinking about going back to work. She asked her why she had been dragged out. She asked absentmindedly, "Speaking of which, Sedna, do you know why Lord Villette hasn't found a new secretary?"

"Hmm?" Sedna tilted her head and thought back.

Meilushin lived a long life, so of course she had heard about who Villette's former secretary was. However, she was just born at that time and was still living in Haimo Village. She didn't hear about her until much later.

"I don't know either. I only know her name was Carolee, and her given name was Melusin, like me. Everyone loved her, but unfortunately she passed away."
