25.

The female employee’s gaze was growing colder by the minute.

Siena’s momentum naturally deflated.

‘D-don’t give me that look and make me feel awkward.’

I’m timid, you know…

While she was cowering, Lian spoke up.

“You seem to remember us, is that right?”

Unexpectedly, he asked the employee directly.

The employee’s gaze, which had been fixed on Siena, turned to Lian.

“Ah… yes. I remember your visit last time.”

“Then you understand.”

Lian leaned forward and wrapped his arm around Siena’s shoulder.

“How much I love my wife, and what kind of necklace I wanted to give her as a gift.”

Flustered, Siena blinked her eyes.

The female employee was the same.

Lian continued speaking, not caring about their reactions at all.

“The necklace we saw last time. We stopped by because we wanted to see it again.”

“…”

“Actually, I tried to buy the necklace that day, but my wife has such a cautious personality. Even when I said I’d buy it for her, she said she wanted to think about it a little more.”

“…”

“So we just left that day.”

His gaze settled on Siena’s face.

“I can buy our darling anything she asks for.”

“…”

“Whether it’s the stars in the sky or the moon.”

Lian, who had been stroking her ash-colored hair, gently grasped her hair.

Then, he kissed her hair.

‘Crazy.’

Siena faced herself trapped in Lian’s sticky gaze.

‘The employee is acting cold while this guy is being sleazy…’

Either way, both of them were making her feel awkward.

She finally came to her senses and forced a smile.

“Ohoho… R-right. I do like to check things thoroughly.”

“That’s what I fell for about darling. My honey is really wise and sharp.”

“Oh my, honey, really… I don’t know!”

Siena shyly hit Lian’s solid arm with light taps.

“Haha, darling is so cute as always.”

“Oh…”

“Every time darling’s soft fists hit my arm, my heart beats along with it. As expected, our darling is the only woman who makes my heart flutter.”

Having this cringeworthy conversation right in front of the employee made her expression even more frigid.

From her dead fish eyes, it was clear she didn’t want to deal with this cringey couple.

‘Excuse me. Do you think someone’s doing this because they like it?’

I don’t want to act like a cringey couple either.

“…Please come this way.”

Soon after, the female employee guided the two to the jewelry display.

While moving, Siena quickly scanned the interior of the clothing store.

She was able to spot Violet sitting on the sofa with Deborah right away.

“…seems like that.”

“Hmm. Then, young lady. I think…”

Since there was distance between the jewelry display and the reception room, she couldn’t hear clearly what they were discussing.

‘No. It’s fine.’

Anyway, Violet came back to buy accessories.

‘She’ll come over here later, so let’s focus on the couple act for now.’

In the current situation, getting past the dead-eyed employee’s suspicion came first.

Just then, the employee asked.

“What was the item you were looking at last time?”

“This one.”

Siena pointed to the necklace with golden gems.

The terrifying price tag with multiple zeros was still there.

‘It’s still shocking to see again…’

But she acted nonchalantly as if she wasn’t surprised by the price.

“It’s still such a beautiful necklace even seeing it again.”

“…”

“We’ll look around by ourselves first. Please come back when we call you for payment later.”

Of course, there would absolutely never be any payment.

The employee bowed her head.

“Yes, understood. Please take your time looking around.”

She thought as she returned to her position.

‘They’ll probably just cause trouble and leave without buying anything again today.’

Siena had long since noticed the employee’s inner thoughts.

Watching the retreating figure, she urgently whispered to Lian.

“Young master.”

“Yes, honey.”

“Today we have to pretend like we’re really going to buy something as much as possible. Otherwise, I think the employee will really mark us. We might end up on the banned list…”

“Why pretend? I’m telling you I’ll really buy it for you.”

“No… what are you talking about.”

Just then, another employee who had finished organizing the display passed in front of Siena and Lian.

Lian immediately changed his expression and pointed to the necklace.

“Do you like this one that much, honey?”

His long eyes folded like thread.

‘His reflexes are amazing.’

Siena smiled along with Lian.

“Yes, of course. I do like it.”

“I think it’s really a beautiful necklace too.”

“…”

“But, besides the one you chose, I think this one is pretty too.”

Lian gestured with his chin toward another one displayed next to the golden gem necklace.

That was…

“Center Director, what about that necklace next to it? The one that’s exactly the same color as my eyes.”

“…”

“If I buy that for you, wouldn’t Center Director think of me every time you wear the necklace?”

…It was ‘that’ necklace.

The events of the day she had tailed Violet flashed through her mind.

‘That day… was when I had really ridiculous thoughts.’

The day I misunderstood that this crazy youngest might be the Crown Prince.

‘I was crazy, really. Why did I even think that…?’

It wasn’t even like I had heat stroke.

Siena quickly snapped out of her reminiscence.

“Darling.”

Lian was still pointing at the necklace.

Siena clapped her hands together lightly, pretending to be excited.

“Oh, oh my, you’re right…! That necklace is really pretty too.”

“Right?”

“Yes, the gemstone is exactly the same color as our darling’s eyes? Ohoho….”

Then Lian responded in a quite serious tone.

“Actually, you know…. I want to put this necklace with a gemstone the same color as my eyes around our darling’s neck.”

“….”

“But this gold necklace that’s the color of darling’s eyes keeps catching my attention too.”

He even frowned seriously.

‘What are we having, some kind of political debate right now.’

Soon Lian let out a deep sigh and twisted one corner of his mouth.

“This won’t work after all.”

“….”

“Darling, just accept both necklaces as gifts.”

Siena’s eyes widened.

‘Has this man lost his mind.’

Even if it’s acting, still, that’s a bit….

Because the short-haired female employee standing over there was still watching them with hawk-like eyes.

So she had to salvage the situation.

“Oh come on, honey…. Two necklaces are too much. One is enough for me….”

“Darling.”

Lian’s finger suddenly came up to Siena’s lips.

It meant to be quiet.

“Our darling should just happily accept the gifts I’m giving.”

“….”

“Because I want to see you wearing both the gold necklace that resembles you and one the color of my eyes around your neck.”

He rested his elbow on the jewelry display with a leisurely motion.

Then he leaned forward and added quietly.

“How could I choose between the two? That would be too cruel to me when I want to see everything about my beloved darling.”

At that moment, an unfamiliar sight inside his shirt invaded Siena’s vision.

Which meant…, she could see his chest through the gap in Lian’s open shirt.

‘This crazy bastard!’

Siena reflexively turned her head away.

The employees standing at a distance seemed to have witnessed Lian’s indecency too.

“Oh my goodness….”

“Oh, oh dear….”

They were all blushing and whispering among themselves.

‘Has this man really gone insane.’

Siena kept her gaze fixed elsewhere as she spoke.

“H, honey…?”

“Yes, darling.”

“Could you stand up straight? You’re not supposed to lean on the display case.”

Lian blinked his eyes.

Then his head tilted in an annoying manner.

“Why?”

“Because the display case is fragile and might collapse.”

“But it didn’t collapse?”

Since she spoke indirectly, he didn’t seem to understand well.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and spoke through ventriloquism.

“Jeubeulyo….”

(Please….)

“Hm?”

His firm chest muscles were still visible through the white see-through shirt.

‘Don’t act like you don’t know anything when you’re exposing your chest like that!!’

Lian was the one doing something embarrassing, but somehow the embarrassment fell to everyone else instead of the person responsible.
