Chapter 24

However, the two men had no idea of how wronged I felt.

I, who had become a mutual enemy of the two men, clenched Estelle's hand while cowering my shoulders.

As if this petite hand of hers had reduced my lifespan.

Estelle took me to the lounge located on the side of the banquet hall.

There was no one present, so we sat comfortably, facing each other.

Estelle, whose eyes stared into mine, had her eyebrows lowered while saying,

I'm sorry, Miss Nia. You were surprised why I brought you here all of a sudden, weren't you?

I didn't feel surprised, rather, I felt like my life was threatened. I expressed my innermost thoughts with a gentle nod.

Yes.

Estelle's face flushed at my answer.

It was because I had a gift that I wanted to give you. It's quite embarrassing for me to give it in that crowded place.

A gift?

After a while, Estelle gave me a colorful butterfly-shaped pin. The silver beads gave out a little shimmer.

How is it? Do you like it?

I nodded vigorously at Estelle's words.

It's totally my style. But why did you suddenly give me a gift?

Estelle smiled as if showing how she felt fortunate while placing the pin on my hand and said, I know everything. You wore that dress because of me, right?

At that moment, the pin that I hadn't properly held fell to the floor.

I looked at Estelle with my widened eyes. She had a face that resembled a dewy silver-drop flower.

I did not know at first as I wasn't sensible enough to take notice. I didn't realize it until I saw Miss Nia in the finished dress at the shop. Then I perceived that you had unilaterally adjusted the dress to a design that suits me well.

I was embarrassed because I thought that Estelle wouldn't be able to notice it until the end, seeing as she could be too dense at times.

That's

Estelle calmly continued talking to me, who couldn't properly answer her.

So I asked Miss Chanel to get a pin that would match well with Miss Nia's dress. It pales in comparison with the consideration Miss Nia had given me, but I want to repay you even if it was only a little.

Estelle picked up the hairpin that fell on the floor and put it over my blue-purple hair.

Then, she bent her eyes and smiled as if she were satisfied.

It's as expected. It looks gorgeous.

..Author, please change the genre of this novel.

I didn't expect that there would be a moment in my life when my heart would pound over this female lead.

I answered her, desperately suppressing my excitement.

Thank you. I'll take care of it. But don't be so apologetic or grateful to me anymore. I just did it out of my personal greed. I wanted to see Miss Estelle wear the dress that suits you best.

Yes, I will.

The air that surrounded us instantly felt a bit sweet and warm.

I really liked this warm feeling.

However, the peace didn't last for long.

Oh, my. I thought there were a couple of rats hiding in here because of the rustling sound, but instead, it was you two.

It was Erica and her group who appeared in a mean voice.

Erica, who came with several noble young ladies behind her, came to us while uttering her words loudly.

If this was a game, this narration would have come out.
