Chapter 267 - The troubles of an employee
One fine day, all the tenants and employees of the Moonlight Inn Block received a notification that the owner of the property will be visiting in a few days. Everyone couldn't help but feel nervous and scared about this sudden update. Besides the fact that their boss was a woman and that she is the wife of Master Kayden and Master Lark, nothing else is known about her but they were most worried about her personality.
Only the managers of each establishment knows how she looks like which made everybody panic. What if they mame a mistake in front of the boss because they did not know how she looked like? Will they be fired? Will they be resold as slaves to another owner?
All the tenants and employees have a high amount of pressure to do well during what they think was a routine inspection. They want to do everything to keep their jobs. They never thought that they would find a place such as Moonlight Inn where men could work with the same benefits as women and where their safety is guaranteed.

POV from the kitchen staff at Yoru Restaurant
One busy evening, a beautiful woman walked inside Yoru, the fine dining restaurant located at the ground floor of the inn. The restaurant manager immediately signaled everyone with his eyes that she was the lady boss. The waiter assigned to the table she chose to sit in shivered and paled but he still bravely approached the table to get their VIP guest's order.
When he reached the table, the guest greeted him amicably, told him her food orders patiently then even thanked him afterwards. He ran back to the kitchen with a goofy smile on his face which made all the other staff confused. He looked like he was about to faint a while ago but now he was in cloud nine.
Since it was the lady boss' order, they prioritized it over all the other ones that are already in line. They regularly look towards where the lady boss was, secretly admiring how beautiful she was and checking if there are any signs that she is getting impatient.
Women like her who can afford to buy such a huge piece of land, build several business and hire hundreds of people, both freemen and slaves alike must not have a normal background. Sadly, the richer a woman is, the worst her personality is based on experience so they are trying to be as careful as they can.
They sighed in relief as they were able to send out her order within 15 minutes. They watched as she smelled the food, had a taste and paused. They felt like their lifespans are draining constantly. When they saw her smile and continue eating, most of the people ended up kneeling on the floor in relief.
After the lady boss ate her meal, they saw her stand up and walk towards the kitchen. Everybody paled immediately and tried to focus doing what job is required of them. Why is she going to the kitchen? Did they do something wrong?
She entered the kitchen and greeted everybody. They did not expect that she would praise them for a job well done and even gave them monetary incentives. She also gave them tips to manage their workload and the kitchen area better. The most unbelievable of all is that she helped them prepare the ingredients for the coming rush of customers for dinner.
Everybody thought they were in a dream and just nodded on everything she said. Took note of all her instructions and assisted her as much as they could. They were still dazed as she joyfully bid everyone a good night and left.

Izuku's POV
I just came from a hard day at work and decided to have a refreshing bath to clear my mind a bit. The people at the office have been bothering me nonstop ever since they found out that I have bagged a rich and generous personal client that lets me handle all of her real estate purchases and renovation needs.
These people that we can just call "leeches" have never treated me nicely from the time I started working at this office almost a year ago but now that I have been earning well, they wanted to get a part of my earnings by trying to trick me into giving my client's information. Not a chance.
I just finished my shower and since I live all alone, I decided to just wrapped a towel around my waist to cover my intimate parts and walked around the house. No ones going to peek at me anyways. I was looking inside a kitchen cupboard for snacks I could eat when a knock came at my door. Who would even look for me at this time? I don't even have friends.
When I opened my door, I saw Ms. Luna, my employer, standing outside my home. I saw her smile at me then her eyes traveled downwards, observing me closely. I was shocked to see her and immediately greeted back but when I saw her eyes look at my body like she found it amusing, I belatedly realized that I am almost naked at that moment!
I respectfully asked her to give me some time so I could look more presentable. which she did. She waited patiently outside my door while I excused myself to frantically look for decent clothes to wear. I feel so stupid and hopeless right now.
Once she's inside my home, she teased me a bit on how much improvement my body had since the last time she saw me which made me blush. That comment can cause scandals if somebody else heard it and I should be angry but since she did not touch me inappropriately, I don't feel scared of her or angered by the situation even if it is just the two of us here. She immediately started a conversation about work and I gladly gave her updates from my end.
Once we were done, she suddenly leaned towards me and gave me a peck on the cheek. I was surprised but honestly, I did not hate it. I don't know why I even felt like I wanted more than this.

Feivel's POV
I just finished eating my free employee dinner that I took home from the restaurant. I decided to clean my home a bit and as I opened the door to bring out the trash, I saw Ms. Luna exiting Izuku's home in a leisurely manner. I looked behind him and saw a dazed and blushing grown man and it honestly made me furrowed my brows a bit.
Ms. Luna looked at me and smiled. She then walked hurriedly towards me, grabbed me by the collar and pulled me back inside my home which stunned me speechless. Once we are inside my house, she released me and just sat wherever she felt like to do so.
I hurriedly wash my hands and then prepared some refreshments for her. She immediately talked about what she came here for and I gladly filled her in with a much more detailed report. I hate writing long reports so I usually just send her the summarized ones regarding my work.
She barely stayed in my home and once done with what she came for, she stood up and was about to leave. I followed her out the door but she suddenly stopped and gave me a kiss on the cheek. My eyes widened and my mind blanked a bit. Surprisingly, my first thought was, Why not on my lips just like when we had the contract?

Dongmin's POV
I just came back from a three-day subjugation and foraging mission I took from the adventurers' hall. I started sleeping at about a couple of hours past lunch time and was too tired to even put on proper sleeping clothes. Looking like this will be something I will pay for dearly in about a few hours.
I was halfway through my sleep when I heard knocks on my door. They were rythmic but nor hurried. I was tempted not to answer and pretend I am not here but I thought that nobody looks for me just for nothing in this place. I hope this is not another woman sending themselves at my door.
I opened the door with my half-asleep self lazily. Once the door was opened, I saw someone that I never thought would want to see me in a million years. All the sleepiness left my body and I remembered I am just wearing my underwear right now. Shit! Of all days that I was unkempt, she had to choose to visit today!
I invited her in and grabbed whatever I could find to cover myself. She looked at me in amusement but still focused on what she came to talk about. I answered all of her questions confidently and even gave my suggestions on how to improve the pub and inn. She looked satisfied with my work and even approved an additional budget.
She bid me goodnight only after half an hour from the time she visited me. I was about to close the door but she suddenly stole a kiss on my cheek. My mind went blank and my body immediately heated up. She disappeared just like that leaving me with another unquenched heat due to a resonance flare up. She really confuses me on whether she likes or dislikes me.
