They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 238 - 238 Very Weird Girl

Chapter 238: Very Weird Girl Chapter 238: Very Weird Girl The other girl, who had grown quiet, suddenly gasped.

“Wait… is that even possible?” She turned pale, her voice trembling.

“If—if Ruth is no longer a princess… does that mean… someone else could marry him instead?” The realization hit her like a bolt of lightning.

She clutched her chest as if she could already feel the heartbreak.

“No… NOOO!” she wailed.

Meanwhile, Nnenna, still standing behind them, listened intently.

She wasn’t particularly interested in their gossip, but one thing caught her attention They knew about the second princess.

Which meant… they knew her face.

Her stomach twisted.

How could she forget something so basic?

She had been so focused on sneaking out and getting a job that she completely neglected to put on a disguise.

After months of staying inside the castle, she had let her guard down.

As she instinctively stepped back, trying to retreat without drawing attention, her heel knocked into a table behind her.

Thud!

Nnenna “..!” The loud sound echoed through the small backroom.

The three girls froze.

Their heads snapped toward her, eyes wide in shock.

“Who are you?” Lillian demanded, her voice sharp with suspicion.

“And what are you doing here?” The second girl, Kosi narrowed her eyes.

“Wait…

how long have you been standing there?” Panic surged through Nnenna.

She couldn’t let them see her face, not now!

Not when they had just been talking about the second princess!

Before they could get a proper look at her, she grabbed the thickest book she could find, a worn out accounting ledger, and swiftly raised it to cover her face.

Kosi frowned.

“Uh… what are you doing?” “Yeah,” Lillian added, confused.

“Who covers their face when someone asks them a question?” Thinking fast, Nnenna adjusted her voice, trying to sound casual.

“I… I came for the salesgirl job,” she said quickly.

“The lady outside told me to come to the back of the store.” Chinwa, still skeptical, folded her arms.

“You mean Pat?” Nnenna nodded behind the book.

“Yes…..

I think.

She said this is where I’m supposed to be.” There was a brief pause before Kosi sighed and turned to the others.

“Well, I guess that makes sense.” The first girl, still frowning, gave Nnenna a long look before shrugging.

“Alright then.

I’m Lilian.

I handle new hires.” Nnenna barely stopped herself from exhaling in relief.

She wasn’t in the clear yet, but at least for now, she had a chance to blend in.

Lilian gestured to a chair.

“Have a seat.” A few seconds passed, but Nnenna didn’t move an inch.

Lilian “..?” Chinwa “.??” Kosi “???” “Don’t you want to sit down?” Lilian asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I’m good here,” Nnenna replied quickly, still gripping the book in front of her face.

“Hey, don’t be scared of us,” Lilian said with a chuckle.

“We’re probably just a few years older than you.” “I’m not scared,” Nnenna muttered.

Lilian shrugged.

“Alright, if you prefer standing, no problem.

Let’s get on with the interview.” She crossed her arms.

“What’s your name?

Do you understand what being a salesgirl means?” “My name is Nnenna and yes, I understand,” Nnenna answered confidently.

“I have to sell goods or services to customers that come in.” “That’s good,” Lilian nodded.

“Okay, I need to see some identification, an ID card to confirm your age and name.” Nnenna stiffened.

An ID?!

There was no way she had that with her.

All her official documents were in the castle!

“I… don’t have it with me,” she said carefully.

“Even if I did, I wouldn’t hand it over since it will obviously show my age and identity.” Nnenna muttered to herself.

Lilian frowned.

“It’s compulsory.

I need to confirm if you meet the age requirement.” Nnenna’s mind raced.

If she didn’t have an ID, would they reject her?

But then, Lilian sighed.

“Well, the position needs to be filled today.

As you probably saw when you came in, there are a lot of customers waiting to be attended to.” At that, Nnenna blinked.

Wait…

if there were so many customers, why were these girls back here gossiping instead of working?

But she was not going to tell them that.

“Okay, you will start work today.

Just make sure to bring your ID card next time as soon as possible.

I’ll also have some papers for you to sign when you do,” Lilian said.

Nnenna blinked.

That was a quick interview… But she wasn’t about to question her luck.

“Alright,” she replied.

Just as she turned to leave, Lilian spoke again.

“One more thing, I still haven’t seen your face.

It’s necessary.

I need to know who is working for us.” Nnenna stiffened.

Oh no.

She had completely forgotten about that!

If they got a good look at her, there was a chance someone might recognize her as the second princess.

She needed to act fast.

Her eyes darted around the room, searching for anything, anything, that could help her get out of this.

That’s when she saw it.

A tin of butter.

Without thinking, she grabbed a handful and smeared it all over her face in one swift motion.

Lilian “…” Chinwa “..?” Kosi “.??” The room fell silent.

Lilian and the other two women stared at her in shock.

“Uh… are you okay?” Kosi, asked, stepping closer, clearly concerned.

Is the pressure of the working class already getting to her?

Kosi wondered.

That was fast!

“Why would you do that?” Lilian added, baffled.

“It just… felt necessary,” Nnenna said, keeping her voice steady despite the ridiculous situation.

If I didn’t do something, they would’ve seen my face clearly!

Chinwa muttered under her breath, “That’s definitely the weirdest thing I’ve seen all week.” The women exchanged glances, still processing what they had just witnessed.

“If you don’t mind, I’ll go wash it off now,” Nnenna quickly added, eager to escape the awkward moment.

“By the way, where’s my workstation?” Lilian shook her head as if deciding not to question it anymore.

“It’s at the front desk,” she sighed.

“I hope you’re good at accounting because you’ll be doing a lot of it.” ——————————————- And that’s the last of the chapters I missed guys!

This is looking like a mass release.

I’m happy we are back on track, back to 21 chapters a week.

Hope you are too?

Cause I’ll keep working hard to ensure we stay at 21 chapters a week, but your support is the motivation for my creation.

So give me more motivation!
