“I am very pleased to meet the ladies I’ve always admired again in this place. Especially, it is an honor to meet the owner of Matap, whom Matapju mentioned, this closely.”
The rhetoric of someone accustomed to leading and wielding authority. Naturally gathering attention, giving due greetings to Ophelia, and remaining humble. Roo turned to the attending lady who finally spoke.
“And it’s also an honor to meet Flache Countess Yeongae, who is contributing a lot these days. As Matapju mentioned, I hope this place becomes a stage of harmony and new exchanges.”
In an instant, the gaze of about twenty young ladies focused on Roo. Ophelia listened without expression.
Roo was indeed a subject of curiosity. It was clear. Her background was so peculiar, and she, who was relatively older in this place, belonged to the category of those with the shortest history and not much higher rank. She just hung her dangling pearl earrings while sipping on tea indifferently, so naturally, she would attract attention.
“Thank you for your kind words.”
However, at the same time, the psychology of publicly mentioning Roo in this setting was more significant. It was to see how she would handle being brought out once and for all. It meant they wanted to see what kind of person she was. Depending on Roo’s reaction, the responses of those who would deal with her in the future would also vary.
Well, they weren’t entirely unfamiliar faces. There were young ladies she greeted at the victory celebration, and those she exchanged faces with during the Eastern inspection this time.
Roo greeted the ladies who exchanged eye contact with a nod, kept her greetings brief, and closed her mouth. Keeping conversations short and not giving away much was a basic principle.
“Well then, I hope everyone has an enjoyable time.”
Ophelia smiled brightly. After light rose tea was served, various colorful desserts arrived to delight the eyes. It was time for a proper tea time.
While the young ladies, curious about Ophelia, sent admiring glances and carefully chose their words, one young lady beside Roo spoke up.
“Hello, Countess Yeongae of Flache.”
“Yes, hello.”
After exchanging greetings briskly, she had honey-colored hair that looked very tempting and adorable.
“You haven’t seen me before, have you? There were a few opportunities for greetings, but I somehow didn’t get to formally introduce myself. I’m Cedric’s sister. My name is Katrin.”
Ah. Ahaha. Roo laughed inwardly with embarrassment. This young lady, who expressed herself as ‘Cedric’s sister’ instead of ‘Lady Alanka,’ clearly knew that Roo and Cedric were acquainted.
“Ah, you’re Lambert’s sister.”
Roo indirectly expressed that she wasn’t on such familiar terms to call him ‘Cedric.’
“Nice to meet you. I’ve always wanted to talk to you, Countess.”
“Oh, with me?”
“Yes. I want to get along with Yeongae regardless of other people.”
Kathrin Lambert picked up a freshly baked cookie. Roo also took a sip of her tea.
“Perhaps you could become my ally or even become someone like the Empress, but it’s essential to get along.”
Roo barely managed to restrain herself from almost choking on her tea with superhuman strength. No, seriously, why are the people in this house like this?
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
