“Goodbye, niece~”
“Mm, goodbye, Uncles!”
Su Mengdie had been worried about how to get along with the Young Lady’s elders, but she hadn’t expected them to leave so suddenly.
After seeing off these unfamiliar elders, Su Mengdie breathed a long sigh of relief while also worrying about such situations in the future.
She knew a bit about the Young Lady’s usual social relationships, but she truly knew nothing about the family…
“Young Lady, who were those people just now?”
“A few distant uncles. It’s fine if Su Mengdie doesn’t know them. We rarely interact anyway. It was likely a coincidence that we ran into them today.”
Coincidence?
Penelope said that, but she didn’t think so.
Although those uncles looked harmonious with the Chief Steward on the surface, they had frequently worked against her in private.
However, to Penelope, they hadn’t sabotaged her yet, so she probably didn’t need to care.
“Then… what if we meet again?”
Although the Young Lady said it was a coincidence, such things were like a coin toss—it was possible to get heads or tails multiple times in a row.
“If we go by Su Mengdie’s current performance, you’ll definitely be exposed… Su Mengdie is very gentle, which is fine, but I don’t feel a hint of majesty from you as the Young Lady.”
Ugh~!
Such a harsh evaluation… but Su Mengdie knew the Young Lady was right.
Currently, she did lack the presence of the Young Lady.
“Young Lady, can you teach me?”
“What?”
“How to be the Young Lady… can you teach me?”
Su Mengdie’s voice was very soft, but her tone was extremely firm.
To make the ruse convincing and handle any situation that might arise, she couldn’t just keep drifting along; she had to make a change!
“Sure~ but it’s not free, you know!”
Penelope said with a mischievous grin.
“Yes, please guide me, Young Lady.”
Su Mengdie had already prepared herself mentally and agreed very straightforwardly.
Thus, this verbal agreement was happily reached.
***
After seeing off the Young Lady’s elders, it was time for the day’s main business—
Penelope changed into a Red and White Rabbit Hair Dress and walked out of the dressing room in fuzzy boots.
“What do you guys think?”
Penelope rested her hands on her slender waist and made a heart pose toward the three people sitting near the counter.
“Not bad. It doesn’t just look good; it looks warm.”
The Store Manager, who cared more about warmth, was quite satisfied with the dress.
But soon, Jin Can’er, sitting in the front row, expressed her disapproval.
“It’s warm, but Store Manager, isn’t this a Coffee Shop? Isn’t the color scheme a bit strange?”
“It is a bit strange, and the rabbit hair looks like it gets dirty easily. You have a lot of pets here too, right, Store Manager?”
Su Mengdie followed up.
“Then let’s change the color to brown or black and make it fleece-lined.”
Combining the two opinions, Xia Shuashuai immediately offered a solution.
“Mm,” Jin Can’er and Su Mengdie replied in unison.
After noting the modifications in her notebook, Xia Shuashuai’s gaze suddenly turned toward Su Mengdie, who was peacefully eating Tiramisu.
“Young Lady, it’s your turn next!”
“What!?”
Su Mengdie suddenly looked up, staring back blankly.
How did this involve her?
Hadn’t she only invited Penelope to be a model?
“It’s not a Uniform, but I also picked out some private clothes for you while I was at it.”
Xia Shuashuai’s eyes were sincere.
She had simply seen a few outfits that suited the ‘Young Lady’ while she was picking out clothes for ‘Su Mengdie’ and brought them along.
What a convenient “at it.”
But she didn’t want to change!
“Is the Young Lady worried she won’t know how to wear them? It’s okay; I can help you.”
Seeing Su Mengdie’s miserable face, Xia Shuashuai immediately expressed that no matter what difficulty she had, she could help.
She was sincere!
But such sincerity was the last thing Su Mengdie needed right now.
“No, no, no, how could we trouble a daughter of a wealthy family like Xia Miss? Let me, her Personal Maid, do it!”
How could she let an outsider help Su Mengdie change!
There were many perks… no, there were many details that outsiders wouldn’t notice.
So, it had to be her, the ‘Personal Maid.’
“Mm… you have a point. Then I’ll leave it to Su Mengdie.”
Eh!?
How could they just decide like that?
What about her opinion!
“No—”
“Young Lady, let’s go in quickly. Let’s not keep everyone waiting.”
Su Mengdie wanted to say ‘no need,’ but she was immediately silenced by Penelope’s words.
She didn’t intend to give Su Mengdie any chance to refuse.
After taking the clothes from Xia Shuashuai, she directly covered Su Mengdie’s mouth and pushed her into the dressing room.
“Mgh, mgh, mgh (Let me go)~! Haa~… Young Lady, what on earth are you thinking!? You can’t even put on your own clothes properly, and yet you want to dress me?”
“That’s not necessarily true. I’m not the same person I used to be.”
That was true.
Su Mengdie had seen Penelope’s changes over these past few days.
However, in her eyes, those changes were still far from the qualifying standards of a Head Maid…
There were only three days left; would it really be in time?
Since that was the case, she should let the Young Lady seize every opportunity to train herself.
“Then go ahead, Young Lady.”
“Okay~!”
With Su Mengdie’s permission, Penelope efficiently took off the dress and top.
Looking at Su Mengdie, who had her eyes closed and was expressionless, Penelope suddenly asked.
“Su Mengdie, don’t you feel ashamed being undressed by someone?”
It would have been better if she hadn’t said anything, but this sudden question made Su Mengdie instantly realize how shameful this was—
What was the difference between this and putting herself completely at the mercy of someone else?
Su Mengdie’s cheeks immediately turned bright red, so red they even felt hot, gradually emitting some steam.
But she still pretended to be calm and threw the question back.
“Does the Young Lady usually feel ashamed when I dress you?”
“No~ because I know Su Mengdie wouldn’t take the opportunity to do anything strange to me… like this~”
Penelope’s finger suddenly moved.
“Eek~!”
“Su Mengdie, your voice really is cute~”
Penelope raised an eyebrow and hummed a song happily.
“That’s… the Young Lady’s voice! It has nothing to do with me! Please stop at once… this is your own body!”
Those were the Young Lady’s own moans; didn’t she feel ashamed at all?
Faced with this rogue-like Penelope, Su Mengdie truly had no way out.
“I know! Don’t move, Su Mengdie. These clothes will be on in a second~”
“Ugh~!”
The Young Lady is one of those Fraudsters!
