My Sugar Daddy's
Chapter 74 - Stop hiding it

"really? Why is it like that?"

"I don't know, but that obviously makes me happy. I want to get her heart more and more. My guess isn't wrong, he's a special guy."

"But, what if it's just your assumptions?" ask Sierra.

"Yes, Sierra's right. It could be just your assumptions, right?"

"Raefal said so too. He said it was just my assumptions. But let's see how it goes. I'm sure, it's not just my assumptions." Erina smiled.

If only I had a lot of free time, it might be easier for me to approach him. But my overwork really caught my attention.

Erina grabbed her drink and gulped it down slowly.

"I'm worried about him." murmured Sierra softly. For some reason, he suddenly thought to her.

...*...

"Marciel!"

The man turned his head towards the arrival of the voice as soon as Sierra called out his name.

The woman who became his best friend ran up to him.

"Sierra's? What are you doing here?"

"I have an appointment with Erina to get out together after work."

"Oh…"

"Why are you here yourself?"

"I came here on purpose because I wanted to see him, and I wanted to take him home with me. I also just finished some business near here."

"So it seems…"

"He's not out yet, is he?"

"Yet. Oh yeah, just the two of us, can we talk for a second?"

"Speak about what?"

"It's about Erina. So it's better if we talk outside. Maybe in the park, how?"

"What happened to Erina?"

"I'll explain later." Sierra pulled Marciel's hand out of there.

...*...

"What thing?"

"Erina is getting closer to Raefal."

"What?"

"A few days ago, Erina, me and Laica met at the cafe. We got together while talking about a few things. Whether you realize it or not, but Erina lately seems more cheerful than usual…"

"…This made me and Laica curious until we finally asked her what really happened to her. Erina then told me she was happy because she thought Raefal was interested in her" Sierra explained.

"Why does he think that?"

"You remember your meeting with Erina a few weeks ago? When you came home, and asked him to meet."

"Oh, yeah. I asked him to meet at the cafe."

"Erina said that after you left, she accidentally met Raefal. And the man's behavior was different than usual. He said, Raefal looks like he doesn't like Erina being close to you."

"really?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Marciel was silent without a word. His face changed suddenly. His expression was really hard to explain.

The tep!

Sierra patted his shoulder. Marciel immediately switched focus on him.

"I know you still love Erina and you're trying to get close to her, right?"

"W-what?"

"I think it's time you moved openly. I will support you, and I will also help you to approach Erina."

"You mean, should I show her how I feel?"

"of course. It's the only way Erina will be aware of the feelings you have. Hear that! You've given up on the dozens of men who approached Erina, even since we went to school. You've held back your feelings for years. So it's time you showed it. You need to make Erina aware of the feelings you have, and stop hiding them."

"But.I'm a little hesitant…"
