Chapter 34: I Don’t Want to Work Overtime Either

“…Huh?”

Chloe froze.

“Wait, wait, Larvia!”

“What’s up?”

“You’re asking what’s up?! You’re about to get to my application, and you just stop?!”

Chloe tossed the broom aside, rushed to the desk, and slammed her hands on it.

“It’s lunch break time,” Larvia said, pointing to the clock on the wall.

“Guh…”

Chloe fumed.

This woman definitely stopped right before her application on purpose!

She knew it, but there was nothing she could do—it was lunch break time.

“Little Chloe, do you like working overtime?”

“Of-Of course not!”

“Then neither do I. Unless it’s something critical, I don’t work outside regular hours.”

“But, but can’t you just work a tiny bit longer? Just one document! You don’t even have to read it, just stamp it!”

“No way.”

Chloe circled to Larvia’s side, grabbing her arm and whining, “Please~”

“Hm…”

Larvia lowered her head, seemingly thinking.

“Little Chloe, why don’t you take a break too? Lunch break’s short—it’ll be over in the blink of an eye.”

“How can I sleep at a time like this?!”

“That’s tricky…”

Larvia rubbed the back of her head, feigning distress.

“So just stamp it! It’s not that complicated!”

“Hm… alright, little Chloe. Do me a small favor, and I’ll reluctantly work overtime for you.”

“What favor?”

“I’ve been reviewing documents all morning, and my shoulders are sore~”

Larvia stretched, her neck cracking as she rolled it.

“Help me…”

“Got it!”

Before Larvia could finish, Chloe guessed her meaning.

Interrupting, she reached out and started massaging Larvia’s shoulders.

“Mm…” Larvia frowned. “Too soft. Put some strength into it.”

Chloe pressed harder.

“More~”

“Ugh…”

Lips pursed, Chloe put all her strength into her hands.

“Harder~”

“I-I can’t…!”

Chloe squeezed out the words while straining to massage Larvia’s shoulders.

“Alright~”

To make Larvia happy, Chloe used every ounce of strength she had.

After a while, she was completely spent.

“Huff… huff…” She panted heavily. “Now… can you… approve it?”

“Sorry, little Chloe,” Larvia said with a sly smile. “Your massage was too weak. I didn’t feel relaxed at all~”

“So… you mean…”

“That massage doesn’t count.”

“You-You’re bullying me!”

Chloe collapsed onto the floor, wailing.

“How so? If you didn’t satisfy me, I don’t have to keep my end of the deal.”

“No way, you’re just bullying me!”

“Alright, alright, don’t get upset. Have some blood and rest.”

“No!”

Chloe curled into a ball, a literal white fluff ball, sulking.

Larvia knelt beside her, gently lifted her by the thighs, and placed her on the chair.

Then, she opened a nearby cabinet, took out a bottle of blood, poured it into a glass, and set it on the desk.

After that, Larvia returned, lifted Chloe gently, sat back down, and placed Chloe on her lap.

She held the glass near Chloe’s nose, waving it slightly.

“Want a sip?”

“No.”

“It’s a rare reserve. You don’t get to drink this normally.”

Chloe hesitated.

“Fine, I’ll drink.”

“Hehe.”

Larvia smirked mischievously, holding the glass to Chloe’s lips, watching her sip the blood slowly.

“Good?”

“Delicious.”

“Want more in the future?”

“Yes.”

“Come to me, and I’ll let you try even better ones.”

“Ugh… never mind.”

Nestled against Larvia’s chest, Chloe’s brows drooped, a conflicted look on her face.

Larvia pinched her cheeks, stretching them into various shapes.

“Stop it…”

Chloe weakly swung a fist at Larvia’s shoulder, realizing too late it looked like flirting.

She hopped off Larvia’s lap.

“What do I have to do for you to work overtime?!”

Larvia pretended to think, then, abandoning her usual elegance, kicked off her shoes and propped her legs on the desk.

“Massage my legs.”

“Guh…”

Chloe hesitated, staring at Larvia’s slender legs wrapped in black stockings.

‘She’s my mortal enemy!’

‘Massage her legs? Really?’

‘So embarrassing!’

But if she did, she’d achieve her long-sought goal!

All the wages and vacation she’d lost—Larvia would pay them back!

‘It’s just a leg massage!’

With that thought, Chloe reached out, her hands landing on Larvia’s calf.

Wrapped in stockings, Larvia’s calf had a perfect curve. A gentle squeeze revealed a flawless balance of softness and firmness, making Chloe want to keep going.

After the calves, she moved to the thighs.

If the calves were a balance of softness and firmness, the thighs were pure silk, so smooth Chloe couldn’t help but rub them several times.

“Didn’t peg you for a little pervert~”

“…Huh? Why’d you say that?”

“You’ve been rubbing for ages.”

“Ugh…”

Chloe blushed, quickly pulling her hands back.

“Alright, I massaged your legs. Can you stamp it now?”

Larvia nodded, picking up the official stamp.

‘Yay!’

Chloe’s heart raced with joy as she rushed to Larvia’s side, clinging to her arm, waiting.

Thump.

A soft sound hit Chloe’s ears as Larvia pressed the stamp onto the application.

‘It’s here, it’s here!’

Chloe waited eagerly.

Larvia slowly lifted her hand, revealing two bold red characters:
