Eric, the owner of the VIP salon, knocked and entered the office.
Inside, the woman who had walked into the room carrying a pile of documents was seated.
That woman, Lady Alicia Lancaster, smiled politely as the madam entered.
Even after a long time of dealing with the paperwork, she sat up straight, and the madam couldn’t help but praise her for her upright and neat posture.
The madam first saw Alicia in the dressing room. She was introduced to Alicia, who was looking after the accounting and taxes for the dressing room, as they were business partners in many ways. Now, she was also overseeing the salon’s work.
“Are you still working?”
“There’s a bit left. Do I need to finish it today?”
“No, no. You can take your time with that.”
The madam came in and sat down on the chair next to the desk where Alicia was sitting.
“I appreciate you every time.”
“You’re welcome. I find it interesting.”
“Really? I get a headache just looking at numbers.”
The madam shook her head and glanced at the pile of documents stacked next to her. Then she stared at Alicia for a moment.
“Do you have something to say?”
“Well, yes. Do you remember Duke Callan, whom we greeted briefly last time?”
“Ah, yes.”
She didn’t actually remember, but she nodded anyway.
“It’s okay if you don’t remember. Actually, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know the duke. In fact, his son wants to meet you.”
“Madam.”
“Duke Callan is known to be rich, you know? Besides, his son is the only heir and quite handsome.”
“Madam, I’m sorry, but I’ll decline.”
“I thought so? Yes, I thought you would.”
At Alicia’s sharp refusal, the madam nodded as if she already knew, laughing. It wasn’t surprising, as the response was always the same.
“Phew. I thought you might, but they were so aggressive that I had to mention it.”
How many times was this now? She had been rejected so many times that it was even embarrassing to mention it.
But what kind of place was this salon? It was a place frequented by VIPs who were somewhat influential in the empire, so the madam couldn’t refuse without at least trying.
“I’m sorry, madam.”
“No, it’s not something you should apologize for. I’m the one who should be sorry for bringing this up every time.”
Alicia, who smiled awkwardly, told her not to worry and rose from her seat without regret.
“I won’t bother you anymore.”
“I think I can finish by tomorrow.”
“Take your time, take your time. Don’t push yourself.”
“Yes, I will.”
As she was leaving, the madam glanced back at Alicia.
She too was a noblewoman, albeit a half one, and running a VIP salon, she had seen many ladies, but Alicia was different.
She seemed to enjoy work more than men, and she was smart, efficient, dignified, and neat.
Moreover, her manners were flawless and clean, making her a lady who wouldn’t be criticized no matter who she was introduced to, but she was impenetrable.
If a match were arranged, she would be grateful enough to dress her in several outfits, which was a pity. With that thought, she left the office.
‘By the way, did Earl Russell come by today? I’m sure I saw a reservation.’
The madam stopped a passing employee.
“Earl Russell?”
“He left after 15 minutes.”
“Oh, it’s getting quicker.”
There was nothing surprising about it.
When making a reservation, she was anxious about whether it would be okay based on her past experience, but it was indeed the case.
Next time, she felt she could confidently set the reservation interval for about 30 minutes. Although she didn’t know if there would be a next time.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]After finishing his report to the emperor at the palace, Eric bumped into William, the first crown prince.
“Hey there.”
“Your Highness.”
“She rejected you again?”
“Has the rumor reached the palace?”
William leaned on Eric’s shoulder and chuckled.
“Why don’t you just get married? At this rate, there won’t be any eligible ladies left.”
Pushing away the leaning prince, he frowned. He didn’t have anything to say, and even if he did, he didn’t want to say anything, so he kept his mouth shut.
“That’s why they call you ‘3% Britannia’.”
“Who on earth gave such an absurd nickname?”
“Hmm. I’m not sure. I just heard it.”
Britannia 3%. It meant that he had seen all the single women in the empire, excluding those engaged, married, or with lovers, and the number reached 3% of all noble women.
“Where did such a ridiculous rumor come from? Even so, I’m not that bad.”
“Does that mean you admit to seeing many?”
“……”
In the end, he frowned, regardless of the presence of the prince in front of him.
“You should not have been so rude.”
“How did you know about that?”
“That salon where the incident occurred, don’t you know it’s for VIPs? Some woman there was crying and causing a scene.”
“There was nothing I could do. She insisted, and I unintentionally…”
I was worried about being scammed when my father, Duke Gloster, first mentioned it.
So, I painstakingly reviewed the business evaluation report and the legal review report submitted by the company and went to the meeting.
