Hearing Teresa's words, Candice dropped all ceremony and sat across from Teresa and picked up a cookie from the table, and said, "Teresa, how have you been?"
"I see that it is enough that I give you a little confidence and you act as if you were at home. I've been fine, thanks for asking," Teresa replied, letting out a slight sigh when she saw Candice's change of attitude.
Candice just smiled at Teresa's accusation. The two of them have known each other for a long time, in fact, the reason why Candice has good relations with the marquis is because she is Teresa's friend.
However, as a merchant, Candice visits the Mansion of Flowers more to see the Marquis than to chat with her old friend. There was even a time when Teresa came to think that Candice was trying to seduce her husband, but that doubt was resolved without any drama.
