“Sharon, what are you thinking?”

A pair of round, dark, green eyes appeared in front of my face.

“Ugh! You surprised me!”

I was really surprised because I was lying my head down peacefully on the desk.

To be honest, I was dozing off, but as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Carol staring up at me.

I thought my heart was going to drop, you little shit-gangster!

“Why are you so surprised!”

I think it would be weird to not be surprised.

“When did you come?”

“Just now! Sharon, Sharon! Look what came in brunch today!”

Carol had a sweet-looking raspberry pudding.

“Did you bring this?”

“Yes! Yes! Sharon, you like delicious food. Now, ah, eat it!”

Why does it look like that?

She must’ve struggled to bring it, the pudding piled up in the handkerchief was all crushed.

“It’s delicious even though it’s crushed.”

“No..””

“Ah!”

Eventually I opened my mouth.

“It’s delicious.”

“Right? Right? I’ll bring it again next time!”

“Put it in a cup.”

“Huh? Oh yeah. I probably should. Hehe hehe.”

I let her go because she was adorable. I wiped the pudding off my mouth and also wiped Carol’s hands.

This was something cute.

You must have woken me up because you knew I was sleeping and wanted to show this off, right?

“My puppy, have you been well?”

“Yes! Yes!”

“I’m glad you’re here anyway. I have something to say.”

“What is it?”

With glistening eyes, Carol sat beside me and held her chin.

I’m ready! All the signals.

“I’m afraid I’ll be in trouble if I don’t give away dresses.”

“Huh?”

“It’s a bargain for the workshop, but there are many people who need dresses but can’t buy them.”

“Ah. We don’t have cousins or relatives to give them to, so I’m fine!”

“Oh, good girl. Oh, my Carol.”

As I patted her cheek, Carol’s face unraveled.

Fortunately, Freya did not reject Madame DeJoue’s offer.

I guess it’s right that you were happy.

Because you could earn money doing what you like.

The dress will be donated under Carol’s name to the workshop tomorrow morning. And the money earned from selling Dresses will also be sent to an orphanage or a nursing home in the name of Carol.

“I’ll just lay you a wonderful flower path so you can be a good Empress.”

There was a small scratch on my chest. But I had to endure it, worrying that it would be obvious that I was jealous. Because of that, the jealousy piled up and created a hole in my heart.
