Chapter 9 Secret Baby

Feeling someone was asking him a question, Cylin looked up to see who it was. Apparently the person was an old woman who was seen looking at Cylin with curiosity. Cylin, who saw this, immediately smiled kindly.

"Yes, Miss, I'm fine," replied Cylin, smiling kindly and trying to look fine even with sweat dripping down his forehead.

The old woman who had previously asked about Cylin's condition sat beside Cylin. Cylin just watched silently and waited for what the woman would say.

"Really? You look very tired," said the old woman in a low voice. Fortunately, Cylin's hearing was sharp, so Cylin didn't need to ask the old woman.

Cylin smiled, then shook his head. "No, Miss, just a little tired," she replied.

"If you can tell, why are you tired?"

"I've been looking for work for almost half a day but haven't found a job, Miss," replied Cylin, without realizing he answered honestly and explained what had happened to him.

The old woman sitting beside Cylin nodded. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Mariamne Luxury, I own this flower shop, and I manage this flower shop myself with my husband. If you want, you can work with us."

Unexpectedly, the old woman suddenly introduced herself and went straight to the point. Cylin, who heard that, was shocked and immediately burst into tears.

Cylin didn't expect that after looking for work for hours and never finding it, he would finally get an offer from an old woman she didn't know.

"Are you serious?" Cylin asked to confirm the truth of what the woman beside him said.

"Yeah, I'm serious, what's your name?" replied the woman, who identified herself by the name Marliamne while asking Cylin's name too.

"My name is Cylin, Miss," replied Cylin, smiling a little awkwardly.

"Just call Marlia," she said again, making Cylin shake his head in refusal.

"Sorry, Miss, that was rude."

"Ah, you are very polite," replied Marliamne with a small chuckle while patting Cylin's thigh. The two of them, at a glance, looked like they were familiar, even though Cylin still felt awkward.

Cylin also giggled. "So? Can I work with you, Miss?"

Marliamne nodded. "Yes, Cylin, you can start working tomorrow without any conditions. Coincidentally, my husband can no longer look after this flower shop with me because he is sick."

"But I'm sorry if the salary I give is less, because recently our flower shop has been quiet," she continued in a sad tone.

This made Cylin's mood sad. 'She knew the shop was quiet; why did ahe hire me? Won't I be a burden because she has to pay me a salary?' Cylin thought silently for a moment.

"Ah, that's fine, Miss, if so."

Before Cylin had finished continuing his words, it suddenly started to rain, making Cylin panic.

"Come on, Cylin, let's go inside first," he said. Marliamne invited Cylin to enter his flower shop.

"Ah, but I happen to want to go straight home, Miss," replied Cylin, worried. Because it was getting dark and it was starting to rain, Cylin was afraid that he would end up trapped in his flower shop, Marliamne, and go home at night.

"What do you want to ride, Cylin?" asked Marliamne, with the two of them still outside the shop; luckily, there was a roof, so the rain didn't wet them.

"Maybe take a taxi," Cylin answered uncertainly. Because he remembered that the money she brought was quite limited, and he was afraid that he would not have enough money to take a taxi.

"It's better to go in first while waiting for Cylin's taxi," said Marliamne, who didn't give up on letting Cylin into his shop.

Seeing Marliamne, who remained adamant about inviting him into the shop, Cylin couldn't help but comply with her request while he ordered a taxi online.

"Please sit down first, Cylin; I'll get you a drink," said Marliamne, making Cylin immediately intervene.

"Ah, no need, Miss; I've brought a drink," replied Cylin, showing her a half bottle of mineral water.

Look at that Marliamne smile. "That's ice; I'll get you a warm drink so you don't get cold."

"No need, Miss."

"I took it." Marliamne cut off Cylin's words and immediately walked away, leaving Cylin alone.

Seeing that, Cylin could only surrender and sigh softly; he actually felt troublesome. While waiting for his return, Marliamne, Cylin saw that the surroundings were filled with fresh-looking flowers and various equipment for planting flowers, such as flower pots and so on.

'The flowers still look fresh,' Cylin thought silently.

"I hope the rain doesn't get any heavier," said Cylin, looking at the outside of the shop where puddles of water were starting to appear.

A few minutes later, Mariamne returned from behind with a glass of warm drink, and from Cylin's smell, it was tea.

"Thanks Miss." Cylin received a glass of warm tea from Marliamne politely.

"I drink, Miss." Cylin gave permission before drinking; he drank the tea just to appreciate the person who gave it to him.

Marliamne nodded with a smile. The woman remained silent and continued to stare at Cylin as if waiting for Cylin's reaction after drinking the tea she gave her.

"Hmm," Cylin let out an amazing sigh. She looked amazed after tasting the warm tea he had given him, Marliamne.

"Very delicious, Miss; this seems to be the most delicious tea I have ever tasted," said Cylin.It's too exaggerated, but that's the fact.

Marliamne smiled broadly, feeling satisfied to hear Cylin's praise. "Ah, thank you; I'm truly flattered by your compliment," she replied.

A few minutes passed, and Cylin spent casually chatting with Marliamne before the online taxi order arrived.
