Quickly fanning her face and covering it, Dalina whispered something to Mrs. Polter.

“It seems the signal Mrs. Polter spoke of has come.”

When Mrs. Polter pointed to the back of the building, Dalina hastily moved her feet. Her hand went to her lower abdomen; she was in a hurry.

I pretended to see nothing and called out the name of another noble.

Then the staff member quickly placed the gift that was to be placed at Dalina’s seat at the noble’s seat who was called.

Seeing the employee looking at me proudly, it was clear that he had deliberately omitted Dalina’s gift.

I was proud of the employee who understood without saying.

“You’re promoted.”

Having called out the names of all the invited guests and handed out the opening gifts, I flashed a business smile.

“Thank you once again for being a great strength and hope to many of you.”

I signaled to the employee waiting next to the curtain.

The soft white cloth that was used as a curtain fell down smoothly.

What caught my eye first, though different parts may have been seen by different stores, was the emblem symbolizing the business.

It was the company logo.

A goddess held a bundle of banknotes like a fan, and right next to her was a Labrador Retriever.

I had seen it several times before, but after unveiling it, I liked the logo even more.

“Even though people might see the banknotes as fans since they don’t exist in this world…? It’s pretty, so it’s fine.”

I then checked the sign that was engraved with Boutique Déesse, which means “Goddess’s Shop” in French.

I really liked the font on the sign.

Having seen the logo and the sign, I now checked people’s reactions.

Their eyes were gathered beyond the fullfrontal window of the 1st floor, where the business items were displayed.

Regardless of what they looked at first, the focus eventually concentrated on the display. It was a natural sequence.

I waited a moment for their reaction.

“Oh, what’s that?”

Gradually, exclamations flowed among the invited guests.

“Oh my, the color is so pretty.”

“What is that?”

“I don’t know? It looks like candles…”

Now I encouraged people to open the gift boxes.

“Oh my? …Candles?”

“Are these really candles?”

Bewildered doubts soon turned into admiration here and there.

“My goodness, it’s so beautiful.”

“I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

While the crowd was buzzing, Philip approached me.

He looked out at the display window and asked me with a bewildered face.

“Madam, you’ve looked at candles before, haven’t you? Is this really…”

“Yes, it’s true. Candles.”

“Did you… put color in the candles?”

“Yes, I tried various colors like red, yellow, green, pink, etc.”

Philip covered his mouth with his hand at my cheerful answer.

“Why? Is it strange?”

“No, it’s just that I’ve never even imagined something like this…”

Philip shook his head once, really looking stunned.

“I’m amazed at why such a product hasn’t existed until now.”

“Are you surprised just by the colors?”

“Yes?”

I inwardly chuckled at his expression as if to say, what else could there be?

“Ellen Morris…”

I named her, facing the crowd, and took a breath.

With less than a week left until the divorce was finalized, my conscience pricked me to leverage the Morris family’s influence.

But now was not the time to consider this and that, so I steeled myself.

“…is announcing the first business starting at the boutique called Déesse. It is.”

I pointed to the colorful candles displayed beyond the window.

“Candles with added colors, scents, and effects.”

The invited guests stirred greatly.

I took out a scented candle and lit it. A few guests followed me and lit the small candles in front of them.

Candles were lit here and there, and the unique scent began to spread faintly.

“Madam, I can smell… lavender from my purple candle. Marlboro’s is yellow, and it smells like citrus.”

Laila, who had suddenly brought Marlboro and a lit candle, sparkled her eyes.

“That’s right, lavender and citrus.”

I acknowledged Laila’s conclusion and briefly explained the functions of the candles by color to the people.

It included calming the mind, deodorizing, serving as an air freshener, inducing sleep, etc.
As people listened to my explanation, their eyes sparkled as if they had discovered a treasure.

“Dear Countess, we can buy this today, right?”

“How many can we buy?”

“How much does it cost to buy?”

No sooner had I finished briefing them than the endearing questions poured in.

“Today, the boutique is specially opened just for you.”

A lady, with her hand on her chest, was moved.

“Oh my, just for us?”

“What kind of people are you? You’re honorable ones who came all this way for our Laila, aren’t you?”

At my answer, the lady’s eyes sparkled, and she nodded.

“Indeed. We have maintained a close relationship with the Morris family.”

Then another lady smiled at me.

“I’ve been waiting just to be invited to the Morris’s party.”

Then another lady cut in vehemently.

“We have invited the Morris family to our party every time, you know?”

She then lowered her eyebrows in disappointment.
