"Lately I've heard about your interest in the jewelry industry" I uttered after taking another sip of tea.

"Yes well, what about it"

"Have you suddenly become interested in the industry as well?" the Marchioness chuckled.

"I suppose you could say so"

Her looks were truly something.

She had pale skin accompanied by long deep blue hair that seemed a little washed out.

Her hair was tied up into what looked like a half-up half-down hairstyle.
