"Love, huh…"
Suddenly, one day, "this person" became my assistant.
Thinking back on it again, if Fillan Torrelei, my business partner, wasn't late by twenty minutes, he wouldn't have panicked. And if I told him I honestly knew that he forgot to bring the people he had told me about before to the meeting, he wouldn't have offered "him" to me.
At that time, I didn't know what got into my head. Seeing the scared and confused face as if knowing nothing, while he looked like he was holding back the urge to either rage or cry, my attention was forcibly diverted to him. I couldn't get myself to get mad at the situation.
The thought crossed my mind whether to do it or not. What if he freaked out and ended up running away? He looked anxious and cautious the moment I brought him home, despite all that, he did whatever I told him.
