The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

As it was still lunchtime at the office, many employees were either lounging around lazily to recover their energy for the latter half of the day or busy with gossip to refresh their minds.

Naturally, the freshest topics were the hottest, and the latest one happened to be the fact that miss Noelle had left the office of the boss with a 'decidedly unpleasant' expression. The credibility of the gossip source was quite good, instantly making the topic popular among the staff.

Of course, considering Noelle's face always looked displeased and cold, it wasn't really what could be considered 'sensational' news. However, what made it interesting was that the 'little boss' was also in the office at that time!

It must be noted that, according to their latest research, miss Noelle's grimace was around fifteen to thirty percent less prominent within three hours of interacting with their 'little boss'.

After all, compared to tiny people like them who feared attracting the wrath of the legendary sis-con if they were caught interacting with the little beauty, miss Noelle didn't have any such 'insecurities' as an irreplaceable core member of the White Deer Corporation.

For the phenomenon to reverse could only mean that something strange must have happened!

When Emilia left with clear hickeys on her nape and a furious blush on her cheeks, the office grapevine almost exploded, and some very familiar office ladies couldn't help but turn excited.

Of course, who else could they be but the legendary six of 'OO LAA LA', the Overworked Office Ladies Association for Admiring Lovely Angels?

As always, the shortest lady was the first to jump up in excitement. "My god! Don't tell me what happened in the office is exactly what I think?!"

Normally, they wouldn't even dare to gossip about their little angel in such a dangerous place, let alone the big boss. After all, they couldn't afford to lose their job.

Although they were overworked, they were still quite well compensated. And most importantly, no other job came with the added benefit of getting to gaze upon the beauty in their hearts every so often.

The glasses lady couldn't help but gulp as she looked around nervously. "K-Keep it down, will you? D-Don't forget we're still in the office!"

Of course, the shortest lady was way too hyped up to be able to calm down, though she did make an attempt to lower her voice as she rubbed her thighs together in excitement and glee. "I think there's some plot here! Did the boss really molest our little fairy in the office?! My god! I would pay all three of my kidneys to see the sight!"

Her coworker couldn't help but remind her kindly. "You only have two of them, shorty."

Of course, nothing could get in the way of a fanatic. "I'll borrow one from big sis!"

The tallest, tanned lady almost threw up blood as she pointed a finger at the shorty indignantly. "My kidneys are only for myself to sell! Do you even know how much lingerie I could buy for just one?! Besides… what are you getting so excited about anyway? Knowing big boss… isn't that kind of thing only expected?"

Seeing how the short lady became dispirited, the glasses girl coughed. "Don't blame her so much. The thing is, it happened right in front of miss Noelle, and she left in such a bad mood! Isn't it out of the norm?"

The coworker who usually partnered with the shortest lady also nodded. "Miss Noelle is usually so strict, even with our boss. Daring to do this kind of thing in front of her… boss is the boss after all. But we should be careful not to make any mistakes for the next few days, or it might really be the end for OO LAA LA."

Both the 'big sister' and the shortest lady nodded.

The glasses girl coughed. "Anyway, am I the only one thinking that there might be more to the situation? Like, couldn't miss Noelle be upset because she has a crush on our little fairy too, or even… our boss?!"

The shortest lady's recently quenched excitement immediately shot through the roof again. "T-That's right! H-Hey, couldn't it be…! B-Both?!"

The glasses girl slapped her thigh in shock. "Damn! That's two green hats at once! Buy one and get one free? No wonder she was upset!"

The tanned lady finally couldn't take it anymore as she forcefully covered the mouth of the glasses girl. "Hush! Do you know we'll all be fired if this got out?! How am I supposed to buy my lingerie if I'm fired and broke?! And you bunch… think about all those candid photos you pay for, can you do it without a job and money?!"

The area immediately turned silent as the gossiping bunch furtively checked the surroundings, only daring to sigh in relief once they confirmed Noelle wasn't around.

"You almost gave me a heart attack."

"Bad-hearted person! Did you wish to clear the way for your next promotion?!"

Of course, with that scare, they dared not continue the previous discussion. If Noelle really overheard them, getting fired may not even be the biggest concern.

"Wait a minute… what's normal about this absurd situation?!"

"Oh… you're new, so you may not know. That's OO LAA LA, they are… ah, how do I explain this…?"

The office lady suddenly had a bright idea as she took out her phone. "Here, take a look, this is our little boss. This bunch… and our boss, they're obsessed with this girl."

The new employee stared at the image of the gorgeous crimson-haired girl on the phone, and silently lit a candle for all the people with the tendency to simp for beauties.

"Makes sense now."

The smile on Samantha's face slowly faded away shortly after Emilia left, replaced with a slightly impatient expression as she tapped her finger on the table.

A few minutes later, the person she had been expecting finally arrived, her expression still set in the same schooled indifference as always.

Seeing how Noelle simply placed the folders she came with on the table and intended to leave, Samantha couldn't help but frown. "Wait!"
