Chapter 615: Back to Work
"Yes, I will do my best. Now, stop brooding and let me work in peace," Arabella said.
She had documents to prepare and a lot of work to do.
A brooding elf this beautiful was still adorable, but it was distracting. She needed to focus on her work.
"Alright. I will do my best not to comment or correct her. I will not promise though, since if I see it again, I might accidentally correct it."
Alwin said those words so that in case he accidentally gets back to old habits and corrects Blanca, Arabella would not say in the future that he did not fulfill his promise.
’I guess he is more of a perfectionist than I thought,’ Arabella thought.
Since Alwin was so capable, and yet, also followed instructions to a tee, as long as he understood it right, it was frustrating for him to see people keep repeating mistakes that had already been pointed out.
Seeing someone keep repeating a mistake gives him the sense of compulsion that he needed to correct it so that the person would not have to make the same mistake.
Arabella had to wonder if it was because he still felt responsible and was still blaming himself for the tragedies of the past.
She had already told him that though he may have committed a mistake that contributed to it, he was not at fault that everything turned out that way.
Arabella had formerly blamed herself for it too, but after she realized she had been used, she knew now that what happened was the plot of many people. They were merely among the people who had been played around with, used, and discarded when they were no longer necessary.
