194 The Brother’s Part-Time Job (2/2)

However, Mr. Jay could not find the heart to scold him. He was the one who brought the pretty little goddess of fortune with him, after all.

Once the store had 'chased out' the last of their customers, the four employees who were forced to work hard could finally heave a sigh of relief.

”Mr. Jay, we better get some bonuses for tonight,” the only female employee complained.

”Yes, yes~” Mr. Jay replied as he happily counted the bills in the cash register. For the first time since the grand opening of his pub \u0026 bistro, the till was filled to the brim.

He turned to Gun, who was sweeping the floor, and then to Yeo Ri, who was helping him by wiping the tables.

”I would have loved to hire your sister as our store's poster girl, but too bad she's still a minor,” he told Gun while chuckling.

Gun sent him a withering look, ”Owner, please don't speak nonsense. Even if Yeo Ri is of age, I wouldn't let her work here.”

”Ouch, are you insulting my baby?” Mr. Jay made a faux-hurt expression, putting his hand over his heart.

”Mr. Owner, don't listen to Gun-oppa. If you need an extra worker, please don't hesitate to contact me,” Yeo Ri rolled her eyes at her brother before flashing a crafty smile at Mr. Jay.

”Lee Yeo Ri, don't you dare—!” Gun frowned. He stopped with the sweeping, sending a narrowed-eyes look to his sister.

Yeo Ri's words and Gun's reaction sent Mr. Jay into a guffaw, and even the other employees who were helping with the store's closing smiled.

Yeo Ri was only half-kidding, but seeing Gun's stubborn response, she couldn't help but pout, ”Why? Oppa can work, Hyuk-oppa can work, but I can't? Double standards!”

”You have modelling. Isn't that more than enough?”

”...” Yeo Ri pursed her lips in silence. Instead of answering him, she turned away, angrily wiping the table.

Modelling was hard sometimes, but she barely counted it as a job. She was only doing it for the short-term anyways, so she wanted to find something else to do after her dream-like contract period ends. Since she didn't want to go back to school, she wanted to find a job to help Gun with the expenses. However, Gun was adamant about not letting her work. It was frustrating.

”Yeo Ri-ah?”

Gun was perplexed. He had no idea what he had done to make Yeo Ri upset for the second time that day.

He turned to his boss and coworkers, looking as if he was seeking an answer from them. Unfortunately, they merely offered him a wry smile and shrugs, as well as shaking heads.

Afterwards, it took him a whole day and night to coax Yeo Ri into a better mood again.
