“...Wait for. X-one Cigarettes? I've never seen anyone smoke this brand of cigarette in Weston before!” delilah said as her gaze fell on the cigarette box that had been thrown aside. He seems to be very hooked by cigarettes.
“Yes God, this is so embarrassing! I should have told the village cousins to get rid of them! Miss Delilah's husband is a very powerful man in America! What impression will we leave on him once he finds out that we smoke fake cigarettes?” whispered some boys among themselves.
It was not only the men who wore awkward expressions on their faces, but also the girls.
“Excuse me, but may I ask for one of your cigarettes? I have not tasted this brand cigarette for more than half a year after coming to Weston!” ask Delilah with a smile.
"Huh? A half-year? Does that mean he was among the first to try it out when he started the initial production ?! ”
"It's over. It's all over! I'll be so embarrassed once he finds out..!”.
“T-wait a minute, Miss Delilah!” one of the girls shouted as she stood among her whispering cousins. Rather than waiting for Delilah to find out for herself, the girl felt it would be better if she told the truth first.
"Yes?" delilah asked as she turned to look at him with her usual sweet smile.
“I-cigarettes that... You can't suck it! We just found out not too long ago that it was fake!”
Upon hearing his statement, everyone turned to look at Gerald with disdain. What is useless!
"Fake? Ha ha! Miss, I just want to smoke, you don't have to hesitate this to the point of lying! Moreover, since you can even afford this brand, is there a need to feel bad with just a cigarette?” delilah answered while taking out a cigarette from the box and observing it closely.
Next, he sniffed it, and soon after, a wry smile formed on his face.
“To put it bluntly, my ex-husband used to be the leader of the research and development department in the factory that produced this particular brand. Although I am well aware that imitations are on the market, I believe that I still have the ability to distinguish between fake and genuine! And I can say for sure that this is a genuine product!” delilah said with a smile.
“B-Original... They are original?!”
Everyone was stunned when they heard that. After all, from what he said, Delilah could definitely tell the difference between the real and the fake. Moreover, he also had no reason to lie to them.
But... How could Gerald possibly buy a genuine X-One cigarette?
"Where did you buy this cigarette, Gerald?" ask the boy.
“I'll be honest and say that I didn't buy it! They are lying around my house so I just take it!” gerald replied with a wry smile.
“Hah! Based on your family background, it is almost as if you claim that they can actually buy it! ” snapped Marilyn immediately with a tone indicating that Gerald had just personally insulted her.
“Can I smoke one of your cigarettes, Mister?” delilah asked as she turned to look at Gerald, her smile still on her face.
"Sir? Why do you call her Master, Miss Delilah? We don't even know where he got those cigarettes! You should know that his family is so poor that they cannot even afford to eat a decent meal at certain times!” insulting Yura as she watched Delilah treat Gerald with great respect.
"Him? The poor? You must be kidding, Mr. Yaleman! Ignoring cigarettes, you should know that no ordinary person can match this man! After all, she was wearing a classic, French, custom-made outfit!” delilah said as she sat right next to Gerald.
"Am I right, sir?"
