Yes, Lady Funina!

Of course, there are only some ordinary people who would not dare to approach and talk to this dashing queen when they see Clorinde, and Clorinde herself has no intention of changing this situation.

"Lady Fernina, Secretary General Richard requests to see you." As Fernina's chief personal secretary, anyone who wants to see Fernina must wait until Clorinde asks for permission and can enter her office only after Fernina agrees.

This is a necessary process, and even Richard is no exception.

Of course, under normal circumstances, this process is obviously just a process and can be omitted when necessary.

After hearing that Richard was coming, Furninna's expression became even more flustered. She said without even thinking, "No!"

"No?" Clorinde suspected that she had heard it wrong. When did Funina become so bold?

"No... I mean wait, it's not very convenient at least now." Furniture realized that her reaction just now might have caused Clorinde's misunderstanding, and she explained a little panickedly.

"I understand. Then I'll go and reject Secretary General Richard and tell him that you are not convenient for the time being?" asked Clorinde.

"Yes, that's right, go ahead." Furninna nodded.

However, just as Clorinde turned around, she ran into Richard who had already walked to the door of Funina's office.

As her thoughts raced, Clorinde seemed to be frightened by Richard's elusive movements. She took two or three steps back, just enough to retreat into Funina's office and make way for Richard.

Due to the large amplitude of the movement, the two round pieces on the chest trembled slightly twice, and the third button under the collar was under the pressure that it should not have been under.

"Secretary General Richard, how did you get in?" Clorinde's voice was very loud, as if she was deliberately speaking to someone.

Richard frowned slightly, looked at Clorinde and said, "Claurinde, I know you are very energetic today, but Lady Funina and I are not deaf, so there is no need to shout so loudly."

Clorinde pursed her red lips and did not answer, but waited for Funina's instructions.

But Furninna didn't dare to show her head now. She wanted to hide under the table to avoid Richard's sight.

"Claulinde, what's wrong with her?" Richard asked in confusion as he looked at Funina who lowered her head and pretended to concentrate on her official business.

She had some official business to attend to, and the documents she needed to deal with today were still in her briefcase and had not yet been handed over to her.

Clorinde was speechless about her boss's attempt to cover up his mistake, but out of loyalty to Fernina, she had to bite the bullet and said, "Secretary General Richard, Lady Fernina has not allowed you to enter her office yet."

Richard frowned even more after hearing this. He looked at the secretary whom he had tricked into coming and said, "Claulinde, are you feeling unwell today?"

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine. But Lady Fernina..." Clorinde also looked at Fernina who was hiding behind the desk not far away with a pleading look.

Damn it, both sides were bosses she couldn't afford to offend, and Clorinde felt like the meat in the middle of a sandwich.

"Funina? Do you mean that Funina is not feeling well?" Richard also looked behind the desk and pretended to go forward to check the situation.

However, before he could take a step forward, Clorinde flashed in front of him and blocked Richard's way.

"I'm sorry, Secretary General Richard, please stop here."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the office suddenly became a little depressing.

Richard narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Clorinde who was blocking his way, wondering if this girl was challenging his authority as the chief steward of the City Hall. This was not a good sign...

Just when the atmosphere reached a climax, Funina finally spoke.

The Lord of Water took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'm fine now. Clorinde, you can go out first."

Clolinde:?

Wait, this isn't right? I helped you stop Richard, but now I'm the one who has to leave.

Forget it, it’s better this way, so she doesn’t have to be caught between Richard and Furninna and suffer from both sides.

With Clorinde's departure, the atmosphere in the office improved, but it was far from harmonious.

Richard was a little puzzled. He was fine yesterday, how come he suddenly became like this?

Could it be that something happened to him?

o

That shouldn’t be the case. After that newspaper incident, didn’t he almost settle the accounts?

What is going wrong?

With such doubts in mind, Richard chose to remain silent and wait and see what Funina had to say.

As for Furninna, she didn't know how to face Richard because of the ring issue, so she was waiting for Richard to speak first.

The situation suddenly became deadlocked again.

Finally, Richard, who was a little impatient with waiting, spoke first: "Lady Fu Nina, this is the document you need to review today."

"Oh, okay." Seeing Richard speak, Furninha breathed a sigh of relief. The stalemate just now made her very uncomfortable.

I worry about what he will see, and I also worry about what he won’t see.

She wanted to ask about the ring but didn't dare to ask, she was very conflicted.

Richard noticed that Fu Nina used her right hand to receive the document, and even used her right hand to flip through the documents. It looked awkward and made people wonder - what happened to her left hand?

"Lady Furninna, is your left hand injured?"

――Why not use both hands to flip through the documents?

"Ah, no, no, I just..." Funina was flustered. She raised her left hand to indicate that everything was fine, then seemed to realize something and put her left hand behind her back in panic.

Then he felt that this was an overreaction and pulled his left hand out from behind his back. The end result was that he covered his left hand with his right hand, while his right fingers kept rubbing the ring on his left ring finger.

Richard couldn't help but ask after seeing this: "Is the ring size inappropriate, Lady Funina?"

"No...it's very suitable, but..." Finina didn't know what to say. She was so stifling that even her ears turned red, but she couldn't explain it clearly.

"It's just..." Richard felt relieved immediately when he saw Furninna's red face and heavy breathing while speaking.

It seems that it is not my fault...

That's okay.

"I just think we should focus on our work. Secretary General Richard, do you have anything else to say?" Funina spoke faster and faster, and in the end she looked straight at Richard with her almond-shaped eyes.

The meaning is very clear, it's okay and you should leave.

It was the first time that Richard was looked at like this by Furniture. While he felt it was very novel, he couldn't help but become more curious about what was wrong with Furniture.

What made her so... courageous that she even dared to order him to leave.

"It's okay. In that case, I won't disturb Lady Funina from her work." Richard turned around and prepared to ask Clorinde about the situation after he went out.

After seeing Richard leave, Furninha breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the thick documents on the table, and then looked down at the beautiful ring on her left ring finger.

Lord Water God couldn't help but feel worried. After thinking about it, he opened the drawer of his office, took out a white glove and prepared to put it on.

But after putting them on, I couldn't see the ring. I felt like something was missing, so I took off the white gloves again.

After repeating this several times, Funina slumped in her office chair like a salted fish that had lost its dreams, staring blankly at the ceiling, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a long while, Furninna came back to her senses. Biting her rosy lips, she chose to put on white gloves and began to handle official business.

I just stop from time to time and rub the ring on my left ring finger with my right hand...

On the other side, after coming out of Furninna's office, Richard went straight to find Clorinde who was drinking tea and slacking off in the tea room.

Clorinde was halfway through her tea, holding up her cup, when she saw Richard coming in. Thinking of the tit-for-tat scene in Funina's office just now, she couldn't help but lick her dry lips with her pink tongue nervously, and asked in a slightly flattering tone:

"Want a drink?"

Volume 67: Chapter 4 Clorinde's Tips on Resignation (K)

In the tea room, Richard and Clorinde sat opposite each other.

Clorinde was obviously a little uncomfortable being stared at by Richard. She pressed her plump legs in black stockings tightly together and rubbed them lightly. The plump thigh flesh was slightly deformed due to the pressure on each other.

"Just now……"

"What happened to Furninha?"

The two spoke at almost the same time, but the meanings they wanted to express were very different.

Clorinde wanted to explain to Richard that what she did was just her duty and she had no intention of making things difficult for him.

Richard didn't care about what happened just now. He knew Clorinde's difficulties. In comparison, he was more concerned about what happened to Furninna and why she behaved so strangely.

After all, Funina's condition is related to the normal operation of the city hall, and is closely related to him as the executive secretary general.

If Furninha suddenly wants to work hard, he will be the one who has a headache.

After hearing what Richard said, Clorinde immediately shook her head obediently, indicating that she didn't know what was going on with Funina today.

"Come to think of it, when I was at work this morning, I saw Fernina saying hello to Violet and Sedna, and then I don't know what they talked about. Suddenly, Lady Fernina rushed to her office with a red face and her head covered... and then you came." Clorinde honestly told everything she knew.

As long as it does not involve confidentiality regulations, Clorinde would tell Richard everything she knows. However, as a veteran in the workplace, she understands too well that a higher-ranking official can overpower a person.

Although Clorinde is Funina's chief personal secretary, Richard can directly influence Clorinde's job evaluation, which is something Funina cannot do.

Simply put, Funina is Clorinde's nominal boss, but Richard is Clorinde's real boss.

The most important thing is that she can't afford to offend either of these two bosses. Being a personal secretary is really difficult.

Clorinde wondered why she had been so impulsive in agreeing to take on this job with Richard.

Alas, I was too young back then.

"Did Furninna tell you anything about the ring?" Richard continued to ask.

"Ring? As soon as she came back, she showed me her hand. It is indeed a nice ring. I heard that it seemed to be given to her by you?" Clorinde answered after thinking for a moment.

"Yes." Richard nodded, but did not explain why he gave Fernina the ring.

You can't say that he thought Finina was too weak and had no ability to defend herself, so he specifically asked Albedo to help him create a ring-shaped self-defense weapon.

The fewer people who know about Funina's strength, the better. As of now, although no one knows what Fucaros, who is hiding in the dark, is planning, it is obviously not a wise choice to expose Funina, who is in the light, and lure out Fucaros behind the scenes.

After all, to some extent, Richard and Funina are on the same side, both committed to resolving the Fontaineland destruction crisis.

According to the prophet's suggestion, he can only become a truly complete form after resolving the Fontaineland's world-destroying crisis.

What he lacked was not a certain authority, but some other components that made up his current body.

"Do you think that Fernina didn't want to see you just now because of the ring?" Clorinde's mind flashed the scene of Fernina showing off the ring on her hand to her as soon as she came back.

"But I think she really likes the ring you gave her. You didn't give her a fake one and get caught, did you?"

Clorinde felt that this possibility could not be ruled out. After all, the blue gem on the ring on Fernina's hand seemed too pure and flawless. Sometimes being too perfect would give off a fake feeling.

"I had it custom made." A few black lines appeared on Richard's forehead.

Clorinde shrugged and said, "I don't know. Why don't you ask Villette? Sedna is also fine."

"Very good, I'll leave it to you, Clorinde." Richard felt that Clorinde's suggestions were very constructive, so he gave this glorious task to her.

Clorinde was somewhat speechless. Her already cold face looked even more inhuman because of the helpless look in her eyes.

Richard turned a deaf ear to this, mainly because those who were familiar with Clorinde knew that this slightly plump lady was actually quite easy to talk to.

After spending more time with her, I realized that she only looked a little cold, but in fact she was as innocent as a little white rabbit.

Richard smiled and watched the 'Little White Rabbit' leave the tea room. He drank the tea in his hand and returned to his office.

In the office, Linnet was also making tea. When she heard Richard come in, she asked without even looking up, "Would you like a cup of black tea?"

"No, I just drank." Richard waved his hand.

Linnet paused as she was about to pour the tea. Although she didn't say anything, her furry cat ears twitched violently and her tail swung twice in displeasure.

After seeing this, Richard could only raise a finger and said, "Another drink then?"

Linnet didn't answer, but placed the steaming hot tea in front of Richard, staring at him with her lively eyes.

"Wait for the tea to cool down."

"stare--"

"Okay, okay." Richard begged for mercy, gently turned the handle of the teacup in front of him, then picked it up, blew on it, and took a sip.

"Give me some comments." Linnette said.

"Delicious."
