I Became The Childhood Friend of the Obsessive Second Male Lead Chapter 179

It must have contained the paper that Rieta had requested.

The servant behind her took the envelope on behalf of Rieta.

“Actually, the Academy asked Noel to carry this paper.”

“. . . Ah. I see.”

Rieta let out a deep sigh.

The naughty Noel shoved his work to the good Hugh McLean.

“I apologize on behalf of Noel. And thank you for bringing the paper to me while you were busy.”

“It's a simple thing.”

He flicked at the bottom of the paper he brought with him.

It was the place Rieta was supposed to sign the receipt.

“Please tell the academy thank you for lending their valuable papers.”

“Yes, I understand. Well, and . . .”

Hugh hesitated for a moment, then smiled awkwardly as he grabbed the papers.

“Happy birthday, Princess. It's strange that I'm just trying to congratulate you without a present. I am ashamed.”

“You don't have to bring a present! You brought me the gift of knowledge. Ah, that's right.”

Rieta slightly moved her body away, and she invited him inside.

“Come in for a moment. Everyone will welcome you.”

“Of course I want to do that too, but . . .”

“Oh, are you busy?”

“Actually, like Noel, I have a mountain of assignments. There are colleagues waiting for me, so I think I should go back soon.”

“Still . . .”

When Rieta felt sorry for him, the butler, who had quick wits, handed him a pack of snacks.

After finding out that the person who came here was Hugh McLean, it seemed that he had prepared it quickly.

“Your assignment will require something sweet. Could you please take it?”

“Thank you. Everyone will enjoy it.”

“I hope so. And don't give Noel any powdered sugar. He hates it.”

Hearing Rieta's words, he laughed a little.

“Yes, I will try.”

Even if he said this, in fact, it was easily expected that Noel would steal some of the snacks.

“Really, Hugh McLean. You are so kind.”

“Not necessarily. I want to know the Princess well, so I will only show this side.”

He once again congratulated Rieta on her birthday with a kind smile and then climbed into the carriage.

As he left, darkness began to descend on the red sky.

What is this?

Rieta complained a little.

Hugh McLean, who didn't have much interaction with her at all, took time out of his busy schedule to come here.

Rieta bit her lip and turned around.

Considering Rieta's age, her birthday party officially ended with a dinner party.

The Duke was led by Sir Jenkins to take the strongest liquor out of the cabinet, and Rieta returned to her room and immersed herself in the hot water.

She had always enjoyed taking a bath.

She used to always feel better when she spent time singing and scrubbing until her fingers were squishy.

But today, for some reason, she didn't feel very good even though she was in the water.

There were no songs, it just felt boring.

In the end, Rieta quickly washed up and got out of the bathtub.

“Why did you come today before the water cooled?”

The maid was astonished.

She usually said, 'Princess! You're going to catch a cold if you stay in the cold water!', because she used to struggle to get Rieta out of the bathtub.

“Eh.”

Rieta put on a white pajamas with a moderate smile.

As she sat down in the chair, the maid meticulously patted her long hair dry with a white towel.

She couldn't lie on the bed while her hair was wet, so she sat blankly in the chair.

Just in time, a maid who knew Rieta well placed the envelope from the academy near her.

“Thank you.”

“You're welcome.”

Rieta opened the envelope, found and unfolded the oldest one of the several papers.

As she read the foreword, her hair was being dried.

“Princess, can I prepare tea for you?”

Rieta pondered for a moment at the maid's question, but she immediately shook her head.

“No, it's okay. I'm just going to give it a quick glance while my hair gets completely dry.”

Rieta sent the maids back.

She found it easier to focus on being alone.

“You won't read it too late?”

Rieta nodded her head at the worried maid.

“I was so tired from the party. After all, in a little while, I will start to doze off.”

“Well, I guess so.”

So the employees went away with peace of mind.

Rieta looked around the room with the gifts piled up here and there, and then she turned her gaze back to the paper.

Was it because the surroundings are quiet? She seemed to be falling asleep quickly.

Because she worked so hard during the party.

Rieta closed the papers, and after she turned the lights off, she flopped on the bed.

She ran away from sleep for a while because of the cold blanket, but she seemed to be able to fall asleep right away.
