Chapter 153

Then the discussion of the details with Kevin went smoothly.

</aside>

This day, he had another talk to me in Earl Hakusu’s guest room.

In this undecorated rooms, there were only a leather bench and table. On the table were the special black tea and desserts Maria prepared carefully.

Because coffee beans couldn’t be picked in the central country, the beverage to treat guests was usually black tea.

The deserts were also specialties the chef made elaborately. Today, there were some financier style snacks.[1]

“Miss Britney, is this zipper you mentioned before?”

Now I introduced the prototype of the zipper to Kevin, which would be processed production in Nora’s territory.

In the face of the zipper he had never seen before, a delicate expression emerged on his face.

“Yes, it is. It can take place of the knitted ribbons of the back of the dress. If the dress adopted this design, then people cannot see it from the outside.”

“So does this mental part?”

“Er, it would be on the top of the zipper.”

“What’s this metal part that makes a closed sound?”

“Ah, it’s the elements.”

Then I introduce these parts of the zipper to him one by one.

“Since you’re about to produce this strange cloth in Earl Hakusu’s territory, then do you think it will sell well?”

“Just wait and see! Now that the technology has been available, it would be more convenient to replace my clothes. Then I’ll promote it to others for daily use.”

“Well, even though I don’t understand it fully, women really work hard.”

Kevin always used the words “Women really work hard” to solve all problems.

Probably he was just not interested in fashion. Nevertheless, our work had finished, so it didn’t matter even he said so.

</aside>

At first, I thought him an annoying guy, but actually, he just conveyed his thoughts in an unpleasant way. In other words, he didn’t know how to express himself properly, but he was candid.

In order to make the future plan develop in a good direction, I could control Kevin… No, induce… No, I could get along well with Kevin as a working partner.

(No, this idea. Sure enough, I shouldn’t always stay with someone.)

Unconsciously, Ryuze had had a great influence on me. Even if I didn’t like it, I could realize how capable my cousin was.

“By the way, would you like to pay a visit to the territory of my family? It’s in the southeast, not far away from here.”

“Well, that’s great. Please let me have a look at it personally.”

When we were talking about it, Ricardo entered the room.

In his close-fitting work clothes, he looked more mature than usual. Although we met each other every day, my heart still beats faster in the face of him.

A delicate expression appeared on Kevin’s face, who sat in the guest room.

“You’re… At that time, because of the betrayal, you have been evicted out of Astor’s territory. Do you have a tough time?”

It seemed that Kevin harbored bitter hatred against Ricardo due to the matter on the party five years ago.

At that time, he had been ejected out of that party by Ricardo because he didn’t stop digging at me with biting sarcasm.

Kevin was so frank that he intended to treat Ricardo with a bad attitude. However, when he caught sight of me, he fell into silence. Apparently, he had also grown up, which was better than anything else.

“Ah, Lord Kevin. I think you should know my engagement, Ricardo. Ricardo, this is Lord Kevin from Viscount Dane’s territory.

“Congratulations on your engagement…”

Kevin wavered but greeted Ricardo in a friendly manner.

“Ah, it’s great that Lord Kevin is still so energetic. It seems that Britney has been taken care of by you at work.”

“On the contrary, she has taught me a lot. It’s my honor to work with such beauty.”

</aside>

The moment he answered, Ricardo suddenly stood in front of me. Eh?

“Yes, Britney is very cute. Moreover, she is a talent who keeps developing interesting things.”

As if he displayed me to Kevin.

Looking at the movement what he hadn’t done before, I was a little… No, very astonished.

(Ah?! Unexpectedly, he should speak highly of me!)

Was his purpose to check Kevin? I thought about too much, maybe…

Because Ricardo was a serious and gentle young man.

“At last, I have got Ryuze’s recognization. It’s the same to go to Viscount Dane’s territory, together with Britney.”

“Just now, we were was talking about that.”

“Ryuze is interested in the Viscount Dane’s territory as if he also wants to pay a visit.”

“Brother Ryuze…”

Well, it didn’t matter according to the present situation of Earl Hakusu’s territory. After all, our grandfather could keep the house for a couple of days.

There were also some reliable subordinates of Ryuze’s men. And our uncle and aunt were in captivity.

When hearing that Ricardo and I would go there together, he looked a little nervous.

(It would definitely be frightening if all three of us pay a visit to there together.)

So did I, because I wouldn’t like to make a poor performance before both of them.

Therefore, I had to finish my work successfully.\n \n
