#739. don’t you know who i am
* * *
To be honest.
Charlotte…
No, Black Dog didn’t know much about the violinist.
As a gunman.
As a waitress.
She had never enjoyed a noble hobby like the violin.
However, he could only tell that the man named Lee in front of him was a very famous violinist.
Ferrick, who brokered the job, told me to be careful because he’s a VVIP customer?
Of course, that was also the reason.
But the most important thing was the fact that this man’s lodging was a branch of the Leviathan Hotel.
No matter what branch it is.
Leviathan is the best hotel in the world.
As much as it guarantees customer safety and the best service, it is of course so ignorant that even the cost of lodging alone can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It is famous for being picky about the president of a country or even the world’s richest people.
The fact that he occupied the entire top floor of a place like this gave an idea of his wealth and status.
‘Wealthy solicitors, no customers…’
That’s why Black Dog decided.
He said he would make a lot of money by being hired as a bodyguard by this tout.
“hmm.”
“…”
“Hmm.”
“…is there something you don’t like?”
So it was.
Contrary to the cold appearance.
Why did Black Dog feel uneasy inside?
It was because he had seen Lee’s sullen eyes several times before.
Whether the ransom is too expensive.
A female gunman is insecure.
The impression is too scary, etc.
Because the writers who tried to hire them for all sorts of reasons but canceled them usually looked like that.
Fortunately, he didn’t like her.
“Miss, do you not know who I am?”
…but for a more embarrassing reason.
A normal person would be stupid.
However, after a short silence, Black Dog answered the question, which would have been asked by a world-class musician.
“Should I know?”
“Well…”
As if pondering something.
Watching Lee tap the armrest with her finger, she regretted it a little.
‘I’m sure he knows.’
It’s common for celebrities to feel offended by people who don’t know them.
Maybe because of this answer, I didn’t even know that I couldn’t get hired.
But I couldn’t help it.
Because she couldn’t lie.
“What good. It wasn’t unexpected… Shall we start with something to drink?”
After staring at her like that, Lee eventually suffocated and laughed, and opened her mouth.
And I heard a small bell on the table.
with my daughter
“Did you call?”
“Do you have any whiskey?”
“I’m sorry, but what I can recommend is about 65 years old McKellan Fine & Rare.”
“Hmm, not bad. Two drinks on the rocks.”
“All right. Please wait a moment.”
The manager, who had withdrawn and returned, put down two glasses of whiskey and bowed politely before exiting the door.
Watching Lee pick up the glass, Black Dog admired it inwardly.
The polite attitude of the manager of Leviathan?
Of course, that was great too.
But what caught my attention more than that was Lee’s calm attitude toward the hospitality.
like from birth.
Or over hundreds of years.
At the end of living while being served.
It seems to have taken it for granted.
An aristocratic dignity that ordinary people could not imitate no matter how much they learned was naturally present in him.
‘This is what real upper class means…’
“Does the lady have a drink too?”
“…not really.”
“Hmm yes? It’s a pity then, but this whiskey should just be thrown away. Not the best, but roughly tens of thousands of dollars for a cup…”
Gulp.
it was immediately
Black Dog lifted the whiskey glass in front of him and shot it one-shot.
“…”
“Why?”
“No, I wanted to give you another drink because it was so delicious.”
“…no more.”
Black Dog shook his head.
Even if you sell tens of thousands of hamburgers for tens of thousands of dollars, you inadvertently drank it for an amount that is difficult to earn, but what she needs is money, not alcohol.
It was because I wanted to avoid a situation where the down payment was reduced by the amount of alcohol while drinking like this.
Did you read her feelings?
Lee, who was looking at her with strange eyes, eventually smiled and took out the contract.
“Hmm then, shall we talk about work?”
and.
discussion started.
“24-hour security is difficult?”
“…If you’re going to stay at Leviathan anyway, you just have to keep it during the day.”
“Well, there is no guarantee that it will be like this…”
Security time down payment, etc.
Several stories come and go.
meet each other’s conditions
It was unusual for her, who usually offered conditions without trifles like this and ignored them if the other person didn’t accept them.
But I couldn’t help it.
This time, the units of the amount were different.
‘…Head hurts.’
Was it because he was racking his brains to get even more of the price of a hamburger?
Black Dog, who continued to negotiate without backing down an inch, even feeling dizzy from a headache that got worse as time went on.
as if observing something.
Or as if calculating or discriminating.
Lee muttered involuntarily as he watched her furrow narrow.
“What should I do for now?”
“…What does it mean?”
“It means that I will do it on the condition the lady wants. Of course, without cutting a single penny.”
“really?”
“I have a lot of supporters. Just say a word and you can get any amount of money.”
“….”
‘This solicitor just wants to get rid of all his money…’
This kind of guy who doesn’t know how precious money should be kidnapped and robbed and experience what poverty means.
Why do you have to stand guard?
Though thinking inwardly, Black Dog nodded.
Whether it’s the money of a solicitor.
Whether it’s someone else’s money.
Because there is no sin in money.
So determined, she signed the contract.
And Lee, who received the fan, tried to sign next to it, but suddenly stopped.
“Hmm, come to think of it, if I sign this document, the lady will now be my bodyguard, right?”
“okay.”
“Am I going to be your employer?”
“Why?”
“It’s not that great. I think if you are a bodyguard, there will be a word to call your employer more like a bodyguard.”
“What if you don’t like it?”
Black Dog raised an eyebrow.
Then he crossed his arms and spoke coldly.
No matter how hired she was, she didn’t have the heart to bow down and use honorifics for a bastard like this.
As if I knew that.
Li also nodded.
“Even if you don’t like it, it doesn’t matter. I have no intention of cutting the price by catching such faults.”
“Then…”
“If you call me whatever you want instead, I can do it like this.”
sigh
Contract with one ‘0’ added.
“What shall I call you, sir?”
How about using a name?
If you are a customer who gives you this much money, you should use honorifics, not honorifics.
either brother
either the owner
the emperor’s majesty.
I’ll call you whatever you want.
At the end of looking at her with a mysterious expression, not knowing whether to laugh at her sincere words.
Lee finally smiled.
“Call me boss.”
A gunman who doesn’t care about money.
It was the moment when Black Dog was hired as a guard dog for a mere violinist.
* * *
‘Don’t do it…’
Leaving the hotel.
she sighed.
No matter how much I was blinded by the tenfold increase in down payment, signing a contract with the condition of calling such a man the boss.
The more I thought about it, the more bizarre it was.
But I couldn’t help it.
Because it’s too much money to turn down?
Of course, that was also the reason, but above all, at the time, she was not in a state where she could judge her coldly.
‘Was that perfume…?’
while staying there.
Dyeing the tip of the nose all the time.
A sweet scent that was so clear that it made me feel dizzy and even gave me a headache.
As he left the room, Black Dog frowned, feeling that the dizziness and headache had finally subsided.
I wondered where the smell came from.
It was only now that I had left the room that I realized that the scent was from Lee.
‘I really don’t like it.’
Do you spray perfume like that?
You’re an annoying guest in many ways.
While muttering in his heart, Black Dog put on a slightly regretful expression.
‘…the scent was nice.’
It gave me a headache, but the scent itself wasn’t unpleasant.
No, to put it bluntly, the opposite.
Just smelling the incense made me feel at ease and strangely improved.
Even Black Dog, who had never been drunk before, felt like he was drunk.
‘Is that perfume expensive?’
So she thought.
I guess I should try to find Lee’s perfume.
If you use it properly in a smaller amount, you will be able to fully enjoy that wonderful scent without a headache.
The problem is the price.
Considering Lee’s behavior of using only the highest quality in everything, the price of perfume would not be cheap.
Would it be necessary to spend that money to buy such a perfume?
Despite repeated agony, she changed her clothes in the abandoned building as always.
Then, in the form of returning to Charlotte from Black Dog, he returned to [Soybean Burger of Happiness] and said hello.
I didn’t want to say hello.
“My aunt, did I go…?”
…unless something strange was out of sight.
what are you looking at
When Charlotte blinks her eyes with a puzzled expression on her face.
Jenna came out of the kitchen with a tray.
“Are you here?”
“…yes.”
“You didn’t bring anything to eat today. wait a little bit I’ll make your burger soon.”
“The burger is done.”
“Is he really going out to eat again? I told you not to be picky!”
“I think eating only burgers every day is more unbalanced.”
“You can’t be picky eaters! How much my bean burger changes every day.”
Was it sad that she only ate outside food every day?
Turning her head to avoid Jenny’s eyes, which raised her double wick, Charlotte changed the topic.
“Rather than that, what is ‘that’ of your aunt?”
“Oh you mean him?”
It was then that he seemed to remember what he was doing.
Jenny, with a sad expression on her face, hurriedly approached the other side of the dining room and put down the tray she was holding.
Then, he hand-feed the chopped burger from the tray and continued.
“It was the kid in our backyard. I gave him a burger because he seemed hungry, and he followed me all the way inside. What is it?”
“…So you’re thinking of raising it?”
“There’s no reason why you shouldn’t. It looks cute, so we can use it as our mascot.”
“The price of food is expensive….”
“So how much does this little kid eat? Since you don’t eat my food anyway, you should feed him at least.”
“…”
In the end, Charlotte could only nod in silence.
It’s like she’s such a hottie.
Because I already knew
From the time he saved a suspicious fugitive like himself who had collapsed alone in the wilderness and put him to work at the store.
That’s how…
the blue bird that ate the burger has become the mascot of [Happiness Bean Burger].
Half of the trembling that I don’t know what this is going on.
With an exquisite face mixed with half of the satisfaction that this burger is better than I thought.
