“Lady Aria?”

“I was invited.”

When she pulled out the invitation that Baroness Clean had sent her, Baron Burboom wrapped his forehead, distorting his face.

“What happened?”

“Baron Burboom!”

He tried to ask Aria why, but he failed because of Annie, who was holding his arm and calling him by his name. Baron Burboom stared at her in a very natural way with her arms folded, but he didn’t know what to do because Aria was there.

‘I guess it was true that they seemed to be friendly.’

Baron Burboom seemed to be shaking in a male-and-female relationship due to the rushing act of Annie. If their relationship went on as it was, Annie would be able to make him her own without any help.

“It’s a very good pair. Right, ma’am?

“Oh, that’s right.”

“Lady Aria…! This…!”

He desperately tried to make excuses, so Aria talked to Baroness Clean, pretending not to know it.

“Where can I go? May I ask for guidance, ma’am? ”

“Of course. Just follow me.”

“Were the other wives here already? I wonder how many are here already.”

“I think only a few people would come today because we are talking about business and not about socializing. Only the wives who are actively involved in some business have come.”

“Is that so? That’s too bad.”

Baron Burboom looked pathetic when he saw Aria and Baroness Clean, who went upstairs exchanging conversations. Nevertheless, he couldn’t take Annie away, who was stuck next to him, so all he could do was sigh.

Annie looked at it impudently, making her cling to the Baron even more. Baron Burboom then turned and stared at her. Annie, who stole Mielle’s expression, asked Baron Burboom, with a sweet smile that seemed to melt.

“Would you like to try some of my tarts?”

“Tart… do you mean?”

“It’s baked today, so I’m sure you’ll like it!”

Annie’s eyes glistened. The image was like a little cat, and the Baron of Burboom ended up nodding his head with a light smile.

“Why don’t you go see a play if the meeting ends early? I got a very interesting ticket for the play. My acquaintance said she saw it, and it was so fun that it would come back to her dreams every night. Tomorrow will be fine if you are busy. Even on the next day!”

Baron Burboom’s face, staring at Annie, who was constantly talking to him, suddenly changed from awkwardness to softness because talking like a lark was so cute.

At first, the aim was to hear Aria’s story from her, but after half a year it was pleasant to talk to her.

He thought it might have been because he couldn’t meet other women, as he was too busy raising his own business by mediating between the young businessmen and Aria, but it was because Annie was so cute to make excuses.

Besides, Annie was a good enough woman. No, she was so bright and cheerful and friendly that he felt a little bit too good for himself.

‘Yes, a great figure suits Lady Aria.’
