Uncover the Death of the Villainess - Chapter 3

“Have you heard any bad rumors about Marquis Michael Paine?”

In the letter, Laura called Michael a demon. Then she must have known something only she knew.

“Boss. Are you suspecting that your friend’s death wasn’t suicide but murder?”

I nodded.

We’ll probably find out more details when we attend the funeral tomorrow.

“The Marquis is such a meticulous person that there aren’t even rumors about him. However, there was a lot of speculation about why they postponed the wedding for 3 years after getting engaged. As I mentioned earlier, rumors that the two weren’t on good terms circulated several times.”

“You said the funeral is tomorrow. Then how can a dead person send letters?”

“Well, maybe she paid someone in advance and asked them to do it? If you’re curious, let’s go to the post office. It seems our priority should be to find out who sent this letter.”

“What if Laura sent this one?”

“Then we should find the proxy all the more. We’ll threaten them to hand over all the letters Laura left with them at once.”

Oh, as expected of Cedric. It’s worth paying him so much.

He wrinkled his nose and added,

“Aren’t you glad to have me by your side? Where else could you find such a smart employee?”

That may be true. But when you say what I was about to say first, it irritates me in its own way. You, strangely sexy man who exudes pheromones. Could you please stop appearing in my dreams at will?

***

To cut to the chase, our first attempt to find the proxy was a failure.

We started with the nearest post office, about a 20-minute carriage ride from the department store. The post office employee was very curt with us.

“We’re so busy that I don’t remember who sent the letter.”

She was busy stamping and sorting letters without even glancing at us.

“Then let me ask one more thing. Has Laura Swilton been here?”

“Who’s that?”

“Laura Swilton is the name of Marquis Paine’s fiancée. She looks similar to me. Brown hair, green eyes. But unlike me, her hair is straight, and she’s about a hand span taller than me.”

“How am I supposed to recognize all the nobles’ faces? I’ve never even met them. Such high-ranking people usually send their servants here instead.”

The overworked post office employee was excessively cold to us.

“I see.”

As my shoulders slumped in disappointment, Cedric took out 10 floras from his pocket and handed them to the employee.

“You must be working hard. Here, buy yourself a snack with this.”

“No thanks. I’m watching my weight.”

“But why? You look just right. If you lose any more, it’ll ruin your beautiful face.”

Maybe it’s because the post office employee is also a woman. She finally lifted her head to look at Cedric’s face.

My secretary was quite good-looking. I’m used to it because I see him every day, but other women might feel differently. With just one wink from Cedric, her cheeks immediately turned red.

“Young man, you have a talent for making people feel good.”

Sensing an opportunity, Cedric took out his wallet and handed over a business card.

“Did I mention that I work at Liv Department Store? Come shopping sometime with my card. I’ll give you a discount on all products for a beautiful lady like yourself.”

“Oh my. Liv Department Store? That flashy place in the center of town?”

The postal worker stopped stamping, leaned forward slightly, and showed interest in us.

“Are you really an employee there?”

“Yes, I am. We’re planning a large-scale sale event soon, so if you come with my card then, I’ll give you even better prices than others.”

“I wonder if it’s okay for me to accept this.”

With a smile spread across her face, the postal worker took Cedric’s card with the quickest hand of all.

“Well, is there anything else I can help with?”

“From now on, letters in envelopes that look like this will be sent daily to Charlotte Liv at Liv Department Store. If you happen to see someone sending such letters during your shift, please let us know what time they came and what they looked like.”

“Hmm. Alright. I’ll tell my colleagues too, so leave that envelope here.”

“Thank you.”

“By the way, when exactly is the department store sale?”

To the curious employee, Cedric whispered in her ear. After hearing his words, a flame of greed flickered in her eyes.

“Especially in this sale, wool from the Aldfond region will be sold in limited quantities at an even lower price, so you’ll need to hurry.”

Our Cedric is really good at sales anywhere. I suspect he was born with that ability to captivate people’s hearts, along with his handsome appearance.

Right after leaving the post office, I said to my secretary,

“Cedric, go around to all the post offices in the capital. Make the same request you made to that postal worker earlier.”

“Good idea. The proxy might keep changing which post office branch they use.”

“Let’s part ways here. I’ll go back to the department store.”

“Alright. Understood.”

I think I must attend Laura’s funeral tomorrow. I want to see for myself how Laura was treated in Marquis Paine’s household.

And that night.

Maybe it was because of Cedric’s foot massage, but he appeared in my dream. In fact, I was confused whether it was a dream or reality at the time. The feeling was so vivid.

As usual, while I was working, he came into the president’s office, roughly loosened his tie, approached me, and kissed me without warning. As if he was being chased by something, Cedric urgently tore my clothes and slipped his hand into my underwear. When his fingers grabbed my n*pple and applied pressure, I let out a sigh, overwhelmed by excitement that felt like my heart would burst.

I don’t usually like such violent relations.

But why does it feel so good right now?

My n*pples, which had already become *rect, were being ravaged at will in Cedric’s mouth. His mouth was so hot that it felt like my entire body was engulfed in a burning sensation.

“Hnngh.”

A moan escaped me without realizing. I was suddenly scared by the size of his monstrous thing that had been poking my stomach from inside his pants. Right, this is a dream. It won’t hurt.

His fingers dug into my moist center. What started with one finger gradually increased in number. Squelching sounds began to come from below. Embarrassed by the lewd sounds reaching my ears, even though I knew it was a dream, I brought my spread legs together. Then he grabbed my b*ttocks with his hands and pulled me towards him.

Precariously perched on the chair, I just panted hot breaths.

“What should I do to you? It seems you’re not ready to accept me yet.”

The man who usually speaks formally to me is treating me so boldly in bed. Strangely, that gap felt attractive.

“Do whatever you want. Please.”

As if responding to those words, he undid his waistband and threw off his underwear. His *rect member was so excessively large that I momentarily lost my breath just looking at it.

‘That’s going to enter me… Is it possible?’

I’m scared and excited at the same time. Cedric, please ravage me recklessly.

The sound of my heartbeat gradually increased in speed.

He whispered in my ear.

“You’ll need to brace yourself. Once I start, I won’t stop.”

Caught up in anticipation, I caressed his center with both hands. I was so excited that I could feel fluid gushing between my legs.

“Charlotte.”

He called me in a low voice and suddenly thrust his member into me without warning. While holding me tightly and thrusting strongly, his tongue invaded my lips, not letting go. It was a wet and deep kiss that made it hard to breathe.

“Hnn, hnngh. Ahhh…!”

The chair creaked and pushed back, hitting the wall. At the same time, my body shook uncontrollably.

Making love with him was violent yet tender and ecstatic. I felt a sizzling sensation in my stomach. Soon after, I reached my climax, and Cedric also released his hot seed inside me.

“Ahh!”

My whole body trembled with intense pleasure. But Cedric didn’t allow me to rest. He lowered his head and buried his face between my legs. He inserted his fingers into my entrance and took my cl*toris in his mouth, rolling it with his tongue. Even though I knew this wasn’t real, I kept getting excited. My insides convulsed from the excessive *rgasm.

“Ah, no. It’s too much.”

“Shh, it’s okay. I told you to be prepared.”

My body, having tasted pleasure once, wouldn’t move as I willed. His thick fingers continued to move, digging into me. Once again, clear fluid gushed out between my legs. His clean face was getting soaked with my fluids, and I felt strangely satisfied seeing that. I guess I have quite a perverted side. Desiring such lewd acts with my diligent secretary.

‘It’s a shame it’s just a dream.’

I was so pleased that it was hard to come to my senses, even though it was a dream. But if this relationship with Cedric were to develop into one where we could actually do such things, how much better would it be?

Cedric slowly raised his body, spread my thighs, and roughly thrust his member in once again. It was a satisfying night.
