Laila also stood before me and smiled brightly.

“Father, Mother. You two really look great together.”

“Just like Laila said, you two really do match well.”

Marlboro, in his neat navy suit, calmly agreed with Laila’s opinion with a smile.

Of course, Philip would also be participating in the ribboncutting ceremony.

But Philip is the lord of the territory and the legal husband, so it was just a matter of attendance. He didn’t need to match our attire since he wasn’t a boutique employee.

‘But it would be rude to say so.’

I must speak as nicely as possible.

It looks very wellmatched.

I’m grateful for the careful consideration that matches the atmosphere.

“Oh, the business place is quite big?”

“But the sign isn’t revealed yet?”

Then Enoch and Dalina, who were in the carriage that Philip had ridden, got down, each with a word.

‘Ah, they rode the same carriage.’

I felt unpleasant.

Dalina’s dress was the same color as mine.

It wasn’t a suitlike atmosphere, and though she hadn’t worn a tie, the expressions of Laila and Marlboro noticeably stiffened when they saw Dalina’s outfit.

Because Philip and Dalina, just the two of them, looked like they were wearing a couple’s outfit.

But Dalina didn’t flinch at all even when she saw Philip, me, and the boutique employees’ uniforms.

It looked acceptable to say that she had deliberately matched with Philip.

The one who pleasantly spoke to Dalina first was Alexander.

“Count Morris and the young lady’s attire really match well. Just like a married couple?”

It was more than just being tactless; he was deliberately saying it that way.

Upon Alexander’s visible cheer, Laila and Marlboro’s gaze briefly came to me.

Only then did Alexander seem to realize, and he gave an awkward smile.

“Oh, my apologies, now that I see it, the boutique’s uniform and atmosphere are similar to Count Morris.”

Now, everyone’s eyes were watching my reaction.

‘I can’t be embarrassed.’

Of course, I’ll break up with Philip, but I had no intention of indulgently overlooking Dalina’s actions.

‘If you want to challenge Philip, do it after the divorce.’

I gave Philip a businesslike smile.

“You didn’t need to dress up like this, but thank you for coming anyway.”

“……Wife?”

Panic tinged Philip’s voice.

He had definitely told me that he had matched his outfit with mine. So my response must have been unexpected for him.

I looked down at Dalina and spoke haughtily.

“As Arzé said, your dress really suits you well.”

“Oh my, really?”

Dalina was pleased with a voice like an angel’s. Alexander, who was addressed by his nickname, also looked delighted. In contrast, Philip’s expression became displeased.

I would have been cautious about offending Philip in the past, but not now. I had no need to distance myself from Philip.

Because I have resolved Ellen’s debt.

‘As long as I don’t touch Marlboro and Laila, I can be a villain without a hitch, right?’

I confidently lifted my chin and raised one corner of my mouth.

“Yes, but the guests might mistake you as an employee of my business place.”

Only then did one of Dalina’s eyebrows slightly twitch.

“An, employee?”

“Yes, since I didn’t hire you, I can’t pay you, but please respond very politely, in honorifics, if a customer has inquiries. Even if a freeloader comes in.”

“……What did you say?”

Dalina’s face turned red.

“You know? Most importantly, today is the opening ceremony.”

I patted Dalina’s shoulder as if comforting a subordinate.

Dalina’s face turned pale.

At my actions, Alexander’s lips curled into a smile.

Marlboro and Laila silently held their breath, only their eyes moving.

Enoch seemed astonished at my audacity, and dissatisfaction appeared to fill Philip’s eyes.

I understand Philip’s feelings.

He must be fond of Dalina, and my doing this must make him uncomfortable.

I acted as if I hadn’t seen their reactions and pointed to the fountain.

“I’ve prepared a place for you to sit, so please sit wherever you like. There are various fruit juices prepared by Mrs. Polter. It’s specially developed, so it’s very cool and tasty. Please enjoy it to your taste.”

“……Yes.”

Quickly losing his displeased expression, Philip moved a few steps and looked back at me.
“Which juice would madam like?”

I didn’t know why such a question was necessary, but I had to greet the next guest, so I looked at the juice names on the menu and said anything.

“Wild Strawberry Fairy’s Kiss.”

“……Kiss?”

“According to the menu description, it’s wild strawberry juice.”

At my answer, Philip’s eyes subtly looked down, and he smiled shyly.

“That’s a nice name. I’ll have that too.”

“……?”

I didn’t understand Philip’s reaction.

Happy, displeased, sulking, and now a springlike expression.

‘No, why are you shy about the wild strawberry juice name?’

Then Dalina interrupted.

“It’s a romantic name. I should have that too.”

Is Dalina sane? If you want to flirt with Philip, do it after the divorce?

Then Laila glared at Dalina with a dagger look. Marlboro’s expression changed at Laila’s reaction.
