Chapter 11
“What are you talking about? I had a lot of fun. I rarely get a chance to see these big jewels.”
It didn’t take long before they left the store, and when she stood face to face with a man in front of the store, she felt unpleasant.
It was then. Nicky, Estelle’s maid, who was sniffing and snooping in front of the jeweler, rushed in.
“Milady! I found you!”
“That…”
“The person who said that she was coming after getting air didn’t come no matter how long I waited! You have a lot of work to do today!”
“So what happened…”
“But the person next to you…”
Nicky’s eyes widened as she looked at the man standing next to her, who spoke helplessly. Apparently, he was a very handsome man. Estelle waved her hand.
“He’s the one who gave me a little help.”
“Well, that… What?”
Nicky, who was always quick, stuttered for some reason. Nicky seemed surprised because he was a rare handsome man. Estelle turned gracefully. It was really time to say goodbye, so she wanted to say that she wished him a fun and happy marriage.
Looking back, Phil was smiling, fixing his gaze on the round-eyed maid. When she looked back at Nicky, she was at a loss. What’s wrong with her? Is he that handsome?
“Phil?”
“Ah, yes.”
At her words, the young man looked down at her belatedly. His smile was not erased. When he saw the face of the young man looking down at me, the sadness deepened. Estelle looked up at the young man, forgetting Nicky, who was panicking behind her. Then, the young man spoke first.
“I can’t say it’s a return for your gratitude, but will you accept this?”
“What? Oh my!”
What the young man offered was the payment document. Why are you giving this to me? Estelle, who was looking through the documents thinking that, was greatly embarrassed.
She wondered what it was, and among the jewels that the two saw together, it was Peridot’s purchase document. Somehow it seemed to be signed endlessly, and it seemed to have also been purchased. Estelle blinked and looked up at the young man. It was clear that he meant to give it to her.
What? The young man grinned.
“All the friends who came to the capital with me are guys. They don’t even know how to choose jewels. You saved my life.”
“But I don’t think I can keep this…”
“I heard you’re about to get married. Think of it as a congratulatory gift.”
“….”
A moment’s surprise subsided again. The young man continued, unaware of the situation.
“It would be great if they were originally made, but they said it would take at least a week. I hope they can make what I want.”
“Oh, yes… But it’s such a big gift…”
Her mind went wild. Can I take this? There were many men who sent her jewels. But most of it was a trick, and it wasn’t such a good thing. So, Estelle used to reject them.
Strangely enough, however, she wanted to receive this jewel handed over by a young man. Estelle suppressed her feelings and tried to shake her hand.
“I’m sorry. I can’t take it.”
It’s not because she wants the jewelry. Estelle looked at the young man’s black eyes again. The young man smiled awkwardly at her gaze.
That clear goodness, which lacked the energy to do any tricks on her, felt good.
Estelle had a hunch. that she was already fond of this young man.
He was a man about to get married. But then, Estelle came up with an ironically absurd idea.
Just once, I want to meet this guy one more time.
At that moment, the young man magically opened his mouth.
“Then, may I ask you one more favor?”
“What favor?”
“Well, actually, I was in a lot of trouble. It seems that I have made the girl who will marry me angry.”
“If it’s okay with you, I heard you’re in the process of choosing clothes…. Can I accompany you just for today?”
Estelle was taken aback. Nicky jumped up a little bit in surprise. But the man scratched his head awkwardly.
“You said that earlier, right? Even if I carry a ring, I’ll get dumped. When I heard that, I thought, ‘Wow, I’m in big trouble.’”
She did say that. I don’t think this is right… But when she came to her senses, she was nodding.
Today… Wouldn’t it be okay if it was today?
“It would be really nice if I can help.”
It was a word that the man said with a cheerful smile.
