Philip knew why his expression was bad. He must have thought I was tormenting Laila.
‘Is he thinking that “if the lady does so, then it must be”?’
“Ah, no, mother.”
Laila quickly swallowed her tearful voice and wiped the corner of her eyes with her hand. Then, she went back into meditation.
“…….”
Watching Laila with her eyes closed, I glanced at Philip. Crossing his arms, Philip was closing his eyes, slightly furrowing his brows.
‘Uh, is the misunderstanding deepening?’
I thought about explaining but gave up and closed my eyes.
In a few days, it will be goodbye with Philip anyway.
Since Laila said she loves me, there should be no problem with my safety.
(This is a time separator.)
10:40 AM.
I went to work at the boutique with Mild, taking Blank along, and a bustling scene was spread out.
On both sides of the entrance, the staff were waiting in two rows for my arrival, and the area in front was crowded with people.
People who passed by during yesterday’s opening ceremony also stopped their feet with curious faces.
But since we only allowed entrance to invited guests, the curiosity of others seemed to have exploded.
‘I need to quickly sort out the situation.’
Thinking that, as I was about to get down from the carriage, Mrs. Hedes suddenly approached and greeted me gracefully.
“I’ve been waiting, Countess.”
“Mrs. Hedes? You came early?”
She smiled with the world’s kindest eyes.
“Of course. Although I couldn’t attend the advanced opening ceremony yesterday due to my schedule, I’ve been looking forward to the Countess’s business.”
‘You said it was not profitable?’
Looking at her greeting before I fully got down from the carriage, she must have been in a hurry after hearing the rumor about the fragrance.
It was a completely different attitude from when we wrote the contract, but I calmly responded after getting completely off the carriage.
“I appreciate your thinking. First, we need to open the boutique, so wait a moment. I’ll assign a staff member to you, so take a look at the products in the store and come to my office later.”
“Understood, Countess.”
Mrs. Hedes, who obediently nodded her head, looked at Blank standing quietly beside me and smiled brightly.
“Oh my, the mascot of the signboard is this dog.”
“Yes.”
“The name is?”
“Blank.”
“……Pardon?”
Looking straight into her eyes, which were momentarily colored with confusion, I smiled.
“It’s Blank.”
I know why she’s confused. Blank is the name of my brother or father.
There’s no way she didn’t know the name of the Lenoir family.
“Oh, ohoho, it’s a very dignified and cool name.”
I passed by Mrs. Hedes, who was sweating and laughing, and approached the staff who were aligned in two rows. The employees standing in two rows bowed politely.
“Good morning, Representative!”
I replaced the greeting with a wave of my hand and looked at the complexion of the employees.
Although we drank alcohol yesterday, it was neatly finished within a reasonable limit, so everyone looked in good shape.
‘There should be no hindrance to work.’
I looked back again.
Perhaps because of my presence, people were standing a little further away, but they were still peering inside the boutique.
I designated a staff member to attend to Mrs. Hedes first.
“Guide her around the boutique and then bring her to my office.”
Next, I pointed to the side of the boutique entrance and spoke to the other employees.
“Form a waiting line here to organize the front of the boutique, and guide them in one by one.”
A few employees quickly split and moved.
“Those who will enter, please line up here.”
The people who had been peering around rushed to form a line. A fairly long line was formed.
I felt a bit proud of that.
So many people were waiting just for my boutique to open its doors.
At the same time, I had doubts.
There were not this many ordinary people who were denied entry yesterday, and I hadn’t advertised the boutique.
‘Has it spread by word of mouth?’
But there were too many people for that.
I asked Mill and Mrs. Polter.
“Is there anything unusual about the opening?”
Mill and Mrs. Polter answered in turn.
“The preparation on the 1st floor is complete.”
“The 2nd floor is also ready. And Representative, this…….”
What Mrs. Polter handed me was a newspaper.
“It’s a newspaper that came out this morning.”
“A newspaper?”
“Yes, our boutique has been specially featured.”
The headline on the front page was displayed.
[Morris Territory’s Innovation! Boutique DE, rewriting the history of candles.]Right below the headline, there was a detailed description, accompanied by pictures, about the scented candles and how the nobles who were invited yesterday eagerly bought them.
Only then did I realize why the front of the boutique was crowded with people.
“The journalist came and went?”
“It must have been so. It’s really surprising, isn’t it?”
It was indeed a surprising event as Mrs. Polter said. Moreover, it was on the front page.
Milga, with an inflated sense of pride, lowered her voice.

Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
