Chapter 43
Originally, Violette doesnt have any ill-feeling towards Claudia. But she also understands that the prince doesnt have a good impression on her, so she decides not to get involved with him more than necessary. Also, she doesnt want to make another strange gossip around her. It will be troublesome once someone gets the wrong idea. Shes convinced that it would be wise for her to keep a distance from him.
However, in this case, she wants to extend her time in the academy as much as possible.
After Violette nods to Claudias request, they head to Claudias workplace, which is naturally... the salon that they have visited before.
If they sit facing each other before, only Violette sits down this time. Claudia disappears into the student council room in the back of the room, only telling her to wait for a while.
Meanwhile, the butler who seems to be in charge of the salon prepares the drink and refreshments, but shes not sure if shes invited as a guest here today. Naturally, she wont dare to let the warm tea turn cold, but Violette isn't sure how she should act since Claudias invitation comes out of nowhere.
However, her worries turn up to be groundless. Claudia returns with piles of documents in one hand, not looking like he has nothing to do at all.
Sorry for making you wait You can act a little more casual, I dont mind.
Then Ill accept your kind offer.
Claudia probably thinks that Violette is nervous, judging from her stretched back and the untouched tea set. Its true that she hasnt mentally prepared herself much, but shes not particularly nervous.
But its a fact that shes consciously sitting up straight. She may seem antsy, but actually shes feeling pretty relaxed. When she extends her hand to the cup, its still warm enough.
Once Violette takes a sip, Claudia has sat across her, his legs crossed. Since they meet up for something trivial this time, the prince is acting more casual than the last time theyre here.
With a rustling sound, Claudia spreads the stack of paper on the desk. The stack doesnt look that overwhelming, but judging from the sounds, it seems like a certain number of sheets has been clipped.
Im sorry for asking you to do this all the sudden. Were entering a busy period, but we dont have enough manpower.
No. Im glad to help.
And yet, there were only two people managing the whole thing right now Even Violette could see that this was impossible.
The selection criteria this year are strict.
Ah I see.
The prince became the student council president this year. Naturally, everyone would pay more attention to this matter more than usual. Considering how the amount of work had increased, Claudia would have to increase the quality of members required to handle the tasks.
First of all, they need to be someone who will do their job without busying themselves over me.
That should be a precondition, shouldnt it
Doing their job shouldnt be the requirement, right? You could even say that its a necessary skill one must possess to contend for joining the student council.
Violette was amazed, but then she recalled what she had done to Claudia so far. Once she was convinced, she felt somewhat apologetic.
If Violette had joined the student council right now, she would only focus only on getting Claudias attention and do her job half-assedly no, thats still better. She might even do her tasks poorly and became a nuisance instead.
There was definitely a lot of that kind of people. And those who wished to work seriously got dispirited from such extreme people, getting pushed out to the radar.
Somehow Im sorry.
Violette didnt do anything, but she used to be that kind of person too. As she apologized in her heart, she decided to do her best in her task. Not because she felt bad, but because the prince had entrusted it to her.
Even if she only had to confirm the data, she still had to take it seriously.
Violette gripped the fountain pen and reached out to take another sheet of the document.
