Chapter 257 The Fastest Way to Make Money in History
"Mr. Joseph?!"
Not knowing what Leon was planning at the moment, Agatha could not help but say in surprise after recognizing Leon's identity based on the tuft of yellow hair on his head that was the same color as Youha's.
"It's only been one day since we last met, and you've really changed...quite a lot..."
Not only is it quite big, but it's also quite expensive. This set of clothes is enough to pay for half a month's salary at the Cleaning Bureau. It's outrageous that a clothing store in a small coastal town sells clothes at the same price as in the royal capital.
After complaining about the amazing prices in Ankara in his heart, Leon responded with a smile:
"It's nothing, really. I just changed my clothes."
Yes, it's true that you just changed your clothes, but you look so much better now.
After recalling what "Mr. Joseph" had worn in the past and comparing it with his current appearance, Agatha couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips slightly, and she pursed her lips several times without success.
"Laugh if you want."
After blinking his eyes and looking at the princess who seemed to be unable to hold back her laughter, Leon pondered his own "personality" while speaking softly with a doting look on his face:
"If I can make my rose smile, it's worth it even if everyone makes fun of me."
"..."
Well, it seems that only the face has changed, Mr. Joseph is still the same Mr. Joseph.
After shaking her head helplessly, Agatha, who was no longer a waitress and did not need to accommodate customers, spoke:
"Mr. Joseph, please don't say such things anymore. I am just myself, not anyone's rose."
"Okay, the most beautiful rose in my heart."
"..."
This man is hopeless.
After looking at Leon, whose eyes were only focused on herself, Agatha couldn't help but shook her head. She gave up on changing his mind and continued to look at the job recruitment page of the newspaper, preparing to find a job for herself first.
After noticing her gaze, a few transparent threads on the head of the male protagonist Elijah trembled slightly, and then, as if a sudden inspiration came to his mind, Elijah asked thoughtfully:
"By the way, Miss Agatha, shouldn't you be working at the Pier Tavern now? Why are you here at the post office?"
"I lost my job."
After briefly explaining the follow-up situation, Agatha said helplessly:
"I probably won't stay here for too long, probably only a dozen days, so I need to find a short-term job, but these job advertisements are looking for long-term employees, and I don't want to deceive people, so now it's a bit troublesome..."
A short-term job of more than ten days?
After hearing Agatha's words, Elijah suddenly had an idea in his mind. He remembered that he wanted to find a local to be his tour guide, so he simply said:
"or……"
"Why don't you come to my place?"
Knowing that Agatha would most likely lose her job, Leon, who had been squatting in the post office for several hours, directly used a pretext he had prepared to interrupt her:
"Although my parents left me a huge fortune, they died in a shipwreck very early. Only my grandmother and I are left at home. My grandmother has been very ill recently. The old lady hopes that I can get married soon, so... can you do me a favor and pretend to be my fiancée for a few days?"
Ah this...
After hearing the content of Leon's "hire", the male protagonist Elijah immediately shut his mouth.
He had to shut up. This Mr. Joseph had sacrificed his parents and grandfather. The only one left in his family was his dying grandmother, who had been hoping to see her children get married before she died. And he just needed a tour guide to accompany him to some tourist attractions. How could he possibly win this argument?
"This...isn't this not good?"
After hearing Mr. Joseph's request, Agatha, who was kind by nature, couldn't help biting her lower lip and said hesitantly:
"Mr. Joseph, I don't mind helping you, but I'm going to leave in a few days, and then..."
"There may not be a 'time'." Lyon sighed and said:
“Although I have long known that birth, aging, sickness and death are thresholds that people cannot cross, I still hope that my grandmother can leave with as little regret as possible… In addition, I am very sorry for harassing you during this period of time.
When I first started doing this, it was just to prevent you from being harassed by others, and I also wanted to get to know you better, so that maybe you would agree to be mine... Alas...
I'm sorry, my Miss Rose...Agatha, I was a little selfish in the past. Regardless of whether you are willing to help me this time, I will not harass you again in the future."
"..."
So...you pursued me so hard before just to prevent me from being harassed and to reassure my grandmother?
Agatha, who also had only vague memories of what happened before the "plot", couldn't help but soften her bright eyes when she learned the "truth" that Leon had spent an entire night figuring out.
From this perspective, although Mr. Joseph is... a little strange, he is indeed a good man, and he is also very filial. So should I just...
……
"Master! Master Joseph!"
Just as Leon used the "Grandma's Sick Punch" and then the "I Have My Own Hardships Palm" and successfully performed a set of "Short-term Girlfriend Eighteen Moves", which made the two people dizzy, a butler who was dressed very exquisitely, moved his fat body and hurriedly ran over from a distance.
After seeing "Mr. Joseph", the fat butler could not help but be overjoyed. He rushed over with eager eyes, grabbed Leon's arm and begged:
"Finally I found you... Come on! Come home with me!
Your grandmother had a quarrel with the old lady Pomona from the neighboring manor over a silk scarf imported from the East, and she even beat her butt with a broom until it was swollen. You should go home and persuade her!"
Elijah: “?”
Agatha: “?!!”
Leon: "..."
You bastard, you are so good. Last night when I went back to Joseph's house, you didn't even open the door for me, so I had to sleep on the street all night. Now you bastard, you recognize me as your master and come to mess with me, right?
Glancing at the transparent silk thread on the fat butler's head, Leon knew that it was the [King of Drama] who was playing tricks on him. Knowing that he couldn't resist, he simply "furious" and said:
"Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to take 500 elite guards who are loyal to me and go to the richest chamber of commerce in the country that my grandfather, a great noble, left to me to buy Agatha, the most beautiful woman in the world who is most worthy of my rose?"
"..."
This bastard actually took the opportunity to change the settings!
Hearing that Leon could not say that he had any personal opinions and should just say that they were all personal opinions, the "King of Drama" who was controlling all this was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he could not do anything about Leon who had the ability to smash the plate, so he had to swallow his anger and accept the new setting that Leon had added for himself, without letting the fat butler say anything to refute.
Leon also knew when to quit and did not stay to spoil the plot. Instead, he did what a "supporting role" should do. After giving the two of them a somewhat awkward smile, he left the post office in embarrassment and pain, and went home to take stock of the property he had just "earned".
As for the male and female protagonists who were left behind, they were stunned by this outrageous reversal and their family background. They stood there in silence for a long time, and then the male protagonist Elijah spoke:
"This Mr. Joseph... is... quite interesting, huh?"
"Um……"
"Well... I'm planning to travel in Ankara for two weeks. If you need a short-term job, would you like to be my tour guide?"
"it is good……"
