Mafia Boss To Another World-Chapter 45: What Happened?

Two days after the incident.

Robert Jr., who was in his study, was enjoying the meal given by Choi Hyun-ah: Cream Bread and warm tea.

The clock indicated it was one-thirty in the afternoon.

In the room, Robert Jr. was alone after Choi Hyun-ah delivered the meal for the break time.

Choi Hyun-ah’s attitude had changed slightly.

Normally she would be close to him, but after the incident, she kept her distance.

Robert Jr., sitting in the long chair, crossed his legs, enjoying the tea made by Choi Hyun-ah.

He slowly sipped it while pondering the matter.

’When I visited her in her room, she was very afraid of me and didn’t want to be close to me, so I left her. After one day, she returned to work as usual, but now keeps her distance from me. I wonder if it’s because she was traumatized by the incident, or was her love confession fake?’

Robert Jr. placed his cup on the table.

He cut the Cream Bread on the small round plate, then slowly ate it.

Through the slightly open room door, his gaze glanced outside, where Park Eunji was walking past.

’Park Eunji has also returned to normal; perhaps she is trying to be strong. I think she has adapted to the dark world of the mafia, and perhaps my explanation was accepted by her. She is very different from Choi Hyun-ah.’

"Huuhh!"

A small sigh.

His eyes were now fixed on the window.

S No. II knocked on the door, which was already slightly ajar.

Robert Jr. looked lost in thought, and S No. II saw him from behind, as he was facing the window.

"Young Master, I’m coming in. Apologies if I’m interrupting your break time."

S No. II entered the room, closing the door that was slightly ajar.

He walked leisurely without any response from Robert Jr., who was still lost in thought.

He sat on the long chair beside him, placing his cane beside him.

Then he tapped the table, waking Robert Jr. up.

Robert Jr. turned to him with a smile.

"Sorry, Uncle. I was thinking about something. Is there anything important we need to discuss?"

"Young Master, don’t think too much about that incident. It will interfere with your creativity. And also, are you thinking about those two maids’ issue?"

S No. II looked intently at Robert Jr.’s face.

After that, he took out a document from the bag he was carrying, consisting of charts of losses and profits from his business in other countries.

"Young Master, please take a look at this. We are getting better profits than when you first took charge after Boss Michael’s disappearance."

Robert Jr. took the stack of papers that S No. II had taken out and placed on the table. He examined the contents of the papers carefully, one by one.

"Uncle, this... This is the best jump I’ve seen, our losses are also decreasing, good, this is very good haha."

He laughed gleefully.

The expression on his face, which had been a bit gloomy, now looked cheerful again.

S No. II, watching his reaction, smiled in return.

’Young Master, don’t think about them anymore. Focus on what you can handle. If you feel tired with work, you can take a vacation. Go on a trip anywhere, and let me and the others handle the operations.’

S No. II stood up, grabbed his cane, and tried to leave Robert Jr., who was absorbed in looking at the documents.

He turned, walking toward the door leisurely.

Robert Jr. put the stack of papers on the table.

He turned toward S No. II, who was walking, opening the door, and almost stepping out.

"Thank you, Uncle. I really like the information you gave, and thank you for snapping me out of my gloom."

S No. II held the brim of his hat.

He turned, bowed slightly, right hand on his chest, his face toward Robert Jr., left hand behind him holding the cane.

"With pleasure, Young Master. It is my honor as a loyal guardian. I will do anything to make the Young Master happy. I take my leave."

He turned, stepped out, closed the door slowly, leaving Robert Jr. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Choi Hyun-ah, who saw him from a distance, held the serving cart, ready to take back the teapot and the plate of leftover cake she had given to Robert Jr.

’Uncle, what were you talking about with the Young Master? His face looked so cheerfully smiling.’

Choi Hyun-ah briefly saw S No. II’s smiling face earlier.

Now S No. II walked out of the house, got into the car, and left to perform another task.

Choi Hyun-ah, who was walking while pushing the serving cart, lowered her head.

She looked at her body, her footsteps, and her maid uniform.

’Was I too much for him? I’m keeping my distance not because of the trauma of the Young Master shooting the Doctor. It’s just that I was a little shocked by the sound of the gunshot, and also I was in shock because I had seen the baby. Ahh... Maybe the Young Master misunderstood when he visited me. I chased him out because I was about to change clothes at the time, even though he didn’t see me because my room was dark and I hadn’t turned on the light. I was surprised, then screamed while grabbing my blanket to cover my body. He went out, closing the door again. Initially, I thought that the Young Master wanted to silence me that way, but the truth is he visited me because he wanted to explain the incident. I’m overthinking, ahh...’

Choi Hyun-ah shook her head, sighed, then slapped her cheek.

After that, she smiled cheerfully again.

Upon arriving at the door, she knocked, then opened the door and entered with the serving cart she was pushing.

"Young Master, I’m here to take your leftover meal. Apologies for interrupting your time."

Robert Jr., who was already sitting in his desk chair, glanced at her while holding papers on the table.

"Please do!"

Robert Jr. returned to his work, acting as if he didn’t care about her.

Choi Hyun-ah, hearing and seeing that movement and response, felt that Robert Jr. was already fed up with her.

"Young Master, why are you acting like that towards me? Is something wrong with me?"

Choi Hyun-ah spoke while placing the leftover food and teapot on the serving cart without looking at him.

Robert Jr., hearing her, wore a confused expression.

He actually didn’t truly ignore her, but he was busy looking at the papers again while formulating a new business route.

’What is she saying? Oh right, I forgot that I once wanted to punish her. Because of that, I want to punish her by assigning her to put the supplies in the warehouse after Uncle picks them up at the airport later.’

"No, nothing is wrong. I’m just too busy. I also forgot about the punishment. Therefore, I want you to put the goods that Uncle will pick up later, into the basement warehouse. With that, your punishment is over, and you can return to your work. I will prepare your salary and bonus later."

Choi Hyun-ah, listening to the explanation, felt that he already disliked her.

Her earlier thought reinforced that Robert Jr. indeed no longer cared for her, and he even remembered the punishment.

"O-okay, Young Master."

She continued pushing the cart, closing the room door again.

Tears flowed down her cheeks.

She stopped for a moment, stifling her sobs.

’It’s true... The Young Master really doesn’t care for me anymore. Why did I pursue this love that grew in my heart before, if he doesn’t love me? All my efforts were in vain. He also hasn’t answered my love confession at that time and still remembers that punishment for me.’

Choi Hyun-ah gripped her maid uniform tightly.

After a few minutes, she wiped her tears, looked around, then walked back toward the kitchen.

’Luckily, no one saw me cry. The Young Master is so mean.’

A few hours later, S No. II returned.

He took out five medium-sized boxes from his car trunk and placed them near the entrance.

The boxes were wrapped in cloth, and they didn’t look too heavy.

"Oh... Choi Hyun-ah, what makes you wait for me here? Did the Young Master instruct you?"

"Something like that, Uncle. I will be the one to carry them. Uncle, please take a rest first."

"Alright then, I’ll take my leave. Good luck."

S No. II left her. He got into the car to park, then went to rest.

Choi Hyun-ah, who was waiting for him near the door, put the boxes onto the trolley.

She stacked them, then pulled the trolley, walking toward the basement room.

Upon arriving at the basement room, she had to carry them manually because the way there was via stairs.

She carried two boxes, hugging them, then walked to open the room door, placing them in the corner near the bed and chair.

She returned to place more.

After finishing, she stopped for a moment inside the room, looking around and observing the room which only used wall lamps, making it look gloomy.

’Is this room always like this? My body is getting chills.’

As she was about to leave, her foot stepped on something that felt strange beneath her shoe.

She looked down.

With the wall lamp light, a small flash like glass was visible under her shoe after she lifted it.

Choi Hyun-ah squatted down and picked it up.

’Why are there glass shards here when there’s no window? And also, if I look closely, this is not glass, but beautiful stone fragments.’

As Choi Hyun-ah looked at it intently, she suddenly felt something strange slowly entering her, like a foreign energy.

Choi Hyun-ah flinched until her body fell to the floor.

She sat up, supporting her body with both hands. She threw the stone away.

Her face looked terrified. She held her head tightly, curling up.

A strange memory entered her head: a massive surge of memories.

She was in pain, writhing on the floor, clutching her head, screaming, but her voice was inaudible.

Tears flowed, her eyes wide open.

She fainted, unconscious in a curled-up position.

The basement room door, which had been open, slowly closed again.
