Why Did I Become the Villainess? Chapter 422: : Department



I put the box full of my things on the table and look around. I am currently inside of my assigned office in the Departnt of War and Welfare.

"It is really starting." I mumble to myself while looking around my office. "And soon everything will have its ending."

Things got busy after his majesty announces to the eighth of us that we will be working with each other for the new departnt.

I got busy working in the Foundation while constantly keeping in touch with the other people I will be working with in the new departnt. We have talked about our plans in the departnt but we still haven't co up with a concrete plan. We will probably talk about our plans once we get settled in our offices.

It's only been two days after we have a eting with his majesty yet we already have an office to work in. His Majesty invited us this morning to announce that we already have our own office.

But unlike the office of other departnts, our office is far from the capital. In fact it is hidden from the public. One need to pass through the forest part of the capital to be able to co here.

His majesty decided to have the office far from the capital for our own safety too. This new departnt will be hidden from the public to not alert the moles of the Aeslaerean's Kingdom that is still lingering around the Vrawyth Kingdom. We need to make sure that they wouldn't know that we are preparing for their attacks.

But too bad, hus majesty doesn't know that the enemies already infiltrated the departnt before it could even start.

I look around my dusty office and sigh. I have a lot of things to do tonight. I still need to clean my office and arrange my things to make my office presentable.

The building of our office is an old building that is owned by the Astalieu's. Its a building that they never used ever since they bought it. It's the reason why the whole building is covered with dust.

"What a great day, Csille." I mumble to myself.

After my work in the Foundation, I ca here to bring so of my things and to clean my office. I need to clean it because her majesty will visit the Departnt tomorrow to check on

us.

I start to take our my things from the box and wipes the dust on the table and shelves. However, I noticed that the shelves and the cabinets are not suitable to use because they are already old. I am sure it won't be able to hold my things in place.

"But what am I going to do now? Her majesty will visit the departnt tomorrow. It wouldn't be good if she see the ss in my office."

I look at my ti watch and sigh. Its already seven in the evening. There is no way I can find a store that sells shelves and cabinets at this ti of the day.

I was still contemplating with what to do when I suddenly hear soone speak behind .

"I know soone who sells cabinets and shelves. I am sure he wouldn't hesitate to sell you one if he knows you badly needed it. That is if you want my help."

It's Leander. Since he will be working in the new departnt too, he is also here tonight to clean his office.

Each one of us has our own office and our office depends on what work we will do in the departnt. Since I will be mostly working with paperwork, I only have a simple office. While Leander have a laboratory as his office.

I smile gratefully at him and shake my head. "Thank you for the offer, senior but I know you are busy too. I don't want to bother you with your work."

I also don't feel comfortable talking to him. After what he have told the last ti? I don't even think I can bear to stay in the sa room with him.

I heard him sigh. "Csille, is it about what I have told you before?"

I pretend to wipe the dust on the shelves even if I don't think I can still use them.

"Senior, I don't understand what you are saying. I only don't want to bother you."

That was a lie of course. Does he really thinks everything will be okay after he ask if he can court ?

"I know you know what I want to say. Haven't I told you that I wouldn't force you on sothing you don't want. So you don't need to avoid , Csille. Also can you please drop the formalities and call Leander only. It's been years since we graduated from high school yet you are still calling your senior. Don't you think you need to change the way you address ?"

I don't need to avoid him? But if I don't he will just end up pursuing and that is not what I want. I already have a lot of things going on with my life. I don't think I can bear to have another problem.

I take a glance at him and nod my head. "I understand, Doctor Leander." Then I continue wiping the other shelves.

When will this guy realize that I don't have ti for all of this? The war is about to co and all I am thinking right now is how to face Csille's future.

Where will I get the ti for this?

Also, doesn't Csille already rejected him before. Does he really thinks sothing change?

I heard him sigh again. "It's Leander only. You can call Leander."

I just glance at him and continue to wipe the remaining dust on the shelves. I was about to pick up the box full of my belongings but Leander already picks it first.

"Where do you want to put this?"

I just stares at him and frown. Can't he read between the lines? I already told him earlier that

I don't want to bother him yet he is still here? What does this guy wants?

I point my hand to one of the cabinet. "You can just put it there. Also, you don't have to do this, Doctor Leander. Don't you need to clean your office too?"

He put the box in the cabinet first before he answers with a smile. "After his majesty told us where our office is, I imdiately ca here to check my office. So, you don't have to worry, I already finish cleaning mine. It's the reason why I am here. I heard you just camr here after your work in the Foundation. You must be tired already. Why don't you take a rest first and let do the rest?"

I just stare at him in disbelief. I do understand that he have feelings for Csille but I didn't expect he would still push it after I rejected him the last ti.

Am I too soft to him the last ti that is why he still think he have a chance on ? If I be blunt on him, will he stop all this nonsense?

"Doctor Leander, you don't need to do this. I can handle it but thank you for the offer." I give him a small smile before I continue working.

I was about to take the remaining box on the floor but Leander snatched it from my hand. "This is heavy. Let take care of this for you." He then proceed to walk to the cabinet. "Should I put this box in the cabinet."

I nod my head and let him put the box inside the cabinet first.

I have enough. I won't be able to work in the departnt if he continues doing this.

Leander look back at after putting the box inside the cabinet. He then look around my office. "Do you have other things to do? I can still help you."

I just look at him coldly. "Doctor Leander, you don't have to do this. I already told you that I can do it on my own."

He frowns at . "But why would I let you lift those heavy boxes if I am here to do that for

you?"

I want to snap at him and tell him my reason but I know it wouldn't be good for the departnt if I do that. The departnt hasn't established yet we are already arguing? I don't think that is a good sign.

I shake my head. "But I already told you that I don't need your help. Don't get wrong, Doctor Leander. I am grateful for your help. However, I can handle it on my own." Leander stares at for a couple of seconds. His smile then disappeared after. "Csille, are you pushing because of what I told you?"

Did he only realize that just now? I have been avoiding him after our last eting. How co he didn't realize that?

I heaves a sigh. "Doctor Leander, haven't I told you that I don't have ti for this. I couldn't accept what you are offering to ."

He then nods his head. "I understand that Csille and I wouldn't force myself to you. All I am asking is for you to give a chance. A chance to prove myself to you."

Give him a chance? Does he even know what he is saying? He is talking to the biggest traitor of the Vrawyth Kingdom. Can he still say those words if he knows what my future holds? I smile bitterly at him. "Doctor Leander, you probably know how deep my feelings are for

Prince Fraser. I don't even think I would love anyone beside him. So please save your feelings for other girls. You are a well respected person. I am sure that any ladies would like to be with you."

He laugh sadly. "But they are not you, Csille. So what does it matter to ? Can't you give a chance to prov-

I shake my head and interrupt what he is saying. "Apologies, Doctor Leander but I don't think I could give you what you want. So, I hope you would stop doing this. I accepted this position because I want to help the Kingdom. But if you keep doing this, I might as well, give

up this position."

Leander's eyes widen when he heard what I said. He stares at with utter disbelief. "You will give up your position just to avoid ?" He then laughs but its an empty kind of laugh. "I

didn't expect I would have such a big effect on you. Too bad is it contrary to what I expect it to be." He then shakes his head and tries to smile at but his smile looks like a force one. "If that is your decision I will respect that. If you need any help with cleaning or for the furniture, you can just look for in my office. I will be taking my leave, Da Csille."

I just give him a small nod and watch him leave my office. I feel guilty for saying those words to him but I don't have a choice. I need to push him away. I need to make sure that he will give up in already.

I don't want to involve other people with my misfortune. I would rather act like a heartless

person than to see anyone suffer with .

"I'm sorry, Leander. Soday you will realize why I need to do this." I whisper to myself while staring at the close door.

Soday everyone will realize why I did those things before. They will realize that I have a

reason why I am pushing them away. It is because I don't want to involve them with my dark future. A lot of people already lose their lives because of and I don't want to add that list.
