Kiss Me if You Can-Chapter 19Vol. 2 .1

Everyone’s interests were aligned, but the problem was that the competition rate had become extremely high. They asked their superiors to hire them, sometimes begging them, and sometimes appealing to their abilities, but nothing changed. The shopping mall, which was in a difficult position, instructed them to hire a small number of employees, excluding a few managers. Even so, there were only ten positions, but there were close to a hundred employees.

In the end, they tried their luck in various ways. They drew lots, flipped coins, and even played basketball.

The shopping mall was filled with employees who had been fiercely selected through such processes. They cleaned every nook and cranny, fixed their hair, and fixed their makeup several times, their hearts pounding, until Chase showed up.

“I can’t believe I’m actually seeing Dr. Flame.”

Another employee said to the employee who was panting and unable to hide his excitement.

“I wonder if the dye has faded? It’s been a while since filming ended. “I saw the article last time and he was blond.”

“It doesn’t matter, it’s Chase Miller.”

“That’s true.”

“That’s right.”

Everyone nodded and cheered excitedly again. And time passed quickly and the scheduled time finally arrived. The employees stood in their designated positions and waited for the door to open.

3, 2, 1.

Squeak.

When the clock struck the hour, the tightly closed door of the shopping mall opened and a man in a black suit and sunglasses came in first. Following him, men in similar attire came in and began to look around the mall.

Is he finally coming?

The employees all had the same thought and swept away their pounding hearts. They would soon see Chase Miller in person. Getting his autograph or taking pictures was prohibited, but it didn’t matter. They could see him with their own eyes and, most importantly, smell his pheromones. How amazing was that. If I could, I would rather take the scent than a photo or autograph.

Finally, the security guards who finished their inspection dispersed to the pre-designated locations. Following them, the man heading toward the main entrance where he had entered opened the door and stepped aside. And finally, it was Chase Miller’s turn to show up.

… … Huh?

The employee standing closest to the entrance suddenly tilted his head. Although only a few people had smelled it directly, everyone knew that the super alphas always released pheromones. That’s why a unique sweet scent filled the air just by walking near them.

But this time was different. I sniffed, sniffing, but all I could smell was the cheap air freshener scent that had been sprayed throughout the building. The bewildered employee tilted his head and looked at another employee standing a little further away. She asked with her lips at the expression on her colleague’s face who was reacting strangely.

What’s wrong?

The employee at the entrance did not hide his confused expression and answered with his mouth shape as well.

I don’t smell it.

Upon hearing that, the colleague blinked in surprise, then furrowed his brow and sniffed. She soon stopped and looked back at the employee at the entrance.

I don’t smell it?

I don’t.

Even though they were talking through their mouths because they were so far apart, they could clearly hear each other’s words.

Why don’t I smell any pheromones?

When they shook their heads, unable to find an answer to the unexpected situation, the men’s urgent footsteps rang out. The security guards stood up straight and waited for someone to come in. And the employees who had been confused finally saw him with their own eyes.

The smell doesn’t matter at all.

When they saw Chase Miller striding into the mall with long strides, everyone who was waiting had the same thought.

Just being able to see him was enough. No, it was too much.

And.

He was much bigger than I thought. Most people knew the body size on the profile, but it was different from seeing it in person. Chase Miller was wearing a well-fitting suit that suited his slim body, and his shiny blond hair was neatly combed back, as if he had just walked out of the screen.

The employees who had been staring blankly without even blinking came to their senses when they saw a child walking at his feet.

Who is it?

They belatedly looked at each other, but there was no way anyone could know the answer.

On top of that, Chase could see that he was slowing down to match the child’s stride. Chase, who was famous for being a Hollywood personality breaker, was showing such consideration, so it was clear that the kid was quite close to him.

“Ahem.”

The manager who was standing a certain distance away from the employees intentionally coughed. The staff quickly came to their senses and took their eyes off their customers. It was too hard to suppress the desire to see more closely, but it was inevitable. In less than a minute, the bundle of documents they had signed to see Chase Miller in person detailed in detail the disadvantages and damages they would have to endure if they did not follow the precautions. The staff had no choice but to sign nervously.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

Still, it was okay since they had seen his face.

Following the guidance of the manager who greeted Chase in person, the staff had to console themselves as they followed Chase’s footsteps as he passed them by and soon disappeared from their sight. Only after they were finally given permission to speak did someone finally speak.

“They say that super alphas control their pheromones.”

“But?”

“I guess that’s why they didn’t smell.”

“Ahh… … .”

Here and there, sighs came as if they finally understood. It would be nice to at least let him smell it, but when someone muttered something disappointing, the other employees agreed.

“It’s not like it’s going to wear out.”

“That’s right.”

When he had said that, someone else cautiously opened his mouth.

“You didn’t mark it, did you…? That’s why it doesn’t smell.”

Everyone’s eyes immediately turned to him at those words. Of course, they weren’t kind.

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Who would dare say Chase Miller has a mark?”

“If there was something like that, there would have been chaos everywhere. Would the reporters just sit still? What are you talking about, really?”

“Did you see the mark? Did you see it?”

People shouted and criticized him here and there. In the end, he had no choice but to apologize. In fact, it was just a thought that came to mind while thinking about the reason why there was no scent, and he himself was so busy looking at Chase’s face that he didn’t even think about looking at his ears, so he had nothing more to say.

“I’m sorry.”

He thought as he apologized again. He shouldn’t have such a ridiculous fantasy.

*@Punhap*

Despite the fact that several employees and security guards were crowded around, the inside of the shopping mall was completely quiet. Usually, it was full of noise with people bustling around, but now all he could hear was the sound of men’s shoes, and the security guard’s footsteps mixed with the manager and Chase’s walking.

“It’s an honor that you visited us. I hope you have a good time.”

The manager, who started talking with a half-hearted tone, soon began listing the history of the shopping mall, the so-called popular brands recently, and the brands he had researched that Chase would like. He wanted such a generous guest to spend as much money as possible, and his heart was as clear as glass.

That didn’t mean Chase was particularly offended. There was only one reason he chose this place, and as long as that was met, nothing else mattered.

“It’s really good for kids to play.”

Laura gave him a lot of advice, but this was the one that stuck with Chase. And without further ado, he chose this shopping mall to spend time with Pete.

That’s why we came this far.

Chase glanced back. He tried to keep pace with Pete as much as possible, but Pete didn’t just walk. He stopped and looked around when he was interested in something, sometimes going back the way he came, and sometimes walking in circles.

He kept falling behind. Fortunately, thanks to the security guards who kept following him from a distance, he didn’t have to worry about losing the child.

Chase had already realized how great Pete’s stamina was at the amusement park. This time, he planned to spend as much time with him as possible until he collapsed from exhaustion. He didn’t forget the fake silicone ears that he had planned to put on before his wedding in case of a scandal. This would completely hide the mark. In fact, he had never forgotten this makeup except when he visited Josh’s house. Considering that Josh had had to worry about this for years, the time he had spent just a month or so was nothing.

“… … Yes. That’s about it. Are there any brands that interest you? Or any products you have in mind?”

The manager asked after finishing all the words he had prepared. Chase opened his mouth, looking down at his eyes that were sparkling with anticipation.

“I heard there are a lot of places for children to play.”

“Huh?”

Chase spoke again without any particular emotion to the manager who had stopped smiling.

“Didn’t you hear? I asked you to show me where the kids can play.”

Then he glanced back. Pete was stuck to the glass, staring intently into the darkened store. The manager, who had been following him, nodded belatedly.

“Oh, yes. Okay. Then… … There’s a space where kids can play while you shop. Should I show you there?”

Chase nodded without thinking too much.

“Okay.”

He was about to walk away, but he looked back again. Pete was still standing there. Chase suddenly wondered.

What are you looking at like that?

“Mr. Miller?”

The manager who had been walking ahead of him suddenly stopped in surprise at Chase’s sudden return. Chase ignored him and walked straight toward Pete.

Pete was so focused on something that he didn’t move, stuck to the glass. He didn’t even notice the sound of footsteps approaching him.

“… … ?”

Suddenly, Pete realized that the glass he was looking through had become darker. Someone had cast a shadow behind him. Pete looked up and was startled. Chase was standing there with his hands in his pockets, looking inside the glass like Pete.

“Hiccup.”

Pete hiccuped in surprise. Chase just bent down and looked down at him. Pete, who was frozen in place, asked Chase.

“What’s inside?”

“… … .”

“What are you looking at so intently? I don’t know.”

He tilted his head and looked inside the glass again. No matter how much he looked, it was just a regular clothing store. When he thought about what Pete would be interested in, Pete muttered quietly from below.

“A puppy.”

Chase paused for a moment. He followed his words and looked inside the store again, and belatedly discovered a stuffed puppy lying among a pile of clothes.

“Do you want that?”
