"When I grow up, I want to open a Convenience store."
These were the words of a villainess in her past life, she was an office lady who got into an accident resulting in her premarture death.
She got Transmigrated into the body of 15 year old Lady Clarissa Linnet, the daughter of a Marquis in the novel 'The stolen heart'.
Upon breaking her engagement with the Northern Duke, she decided to live in the capital and open a convenience store along with her maid.
The maids name was Ophelia, she was the personal maid as well as the close friend of Lady Clarissa. She stayed by her side throughout the novel, but, as a minor supporting character who never really appeared much and her background was a mystery.
"That was to be my fate...until I decided to travel the world instead."
Sipping a cup of tea and enjoying the cafes cosy atmosphere, A Lady reads the newspaper congratulating Lady Clarissa for being recognised again as the heir to the Marquis.
*yawn*"When will we leave?"
A voice was heard from her lap, a sleepy dragon layed half awake In her lap as she finished her cup of tea.
"It will take some time, after all the train will arrive in an hour and I have to write the Lady a letter congratulating her."
Petting the sleepy dragon she rummages through her purse for a pen and paper.
"Now what should I write her...? Hm...this reminds me of the first time I ever wrote a letter...when I first came here. "

It was on 16th January, when I went to school as regular. Siting on a chair, I looked out at the dark rainy day.
"I hope there is a thunderstorm, I love the sound of thunder."
Ophelia mindlessly spoke to herself, suddenly the classroom door was pushed open.
"Hey, Ophelia! Could you come with me to get these books to the library?"
A female student desperately asked, no rather, asked with puppy dog eyes to help her get the heavy books to the library.
"...No."
Teasing her friend just a little.
"H-huh? Why? Please help meeee! They are too heavy! My poor hands are going to fall off!"
"I was just joking let me help you, come on."
Laughing at her best friend, she picks up the books on the ground.
"...Damn these are heavy, what are these...? Encyclopedia for marine animals? No wonder. Wildlife study and enchanced cultural ethics teaching? These are new books?"
"Please stop asking questions and help me get them to the library, my arms are dying..."
"Ok ok, let's go."
Both the friends reached the school library and informed the librarian about the books.
"...is the library having a renovation or something? Ma'am?"
The librarian looked over from the counter and signed.
"Yes since the principle wanted more educational books to be filled to the brim, we had to renovate the area..."
"Then what about the books? The one's that the principle calls 'entertainment'?"
Her friend asked sarcastically, as she looked at the freshly painted wall of end of the hallway.
"Oh! I forgot to tell you, the books are over there to your right you can buy the ones in the red box and the ones In the blue box are all free."
"...may I look at the books?"
"Of course, but I think most of the books in the blue box are taken."
"It's ok I'll just look."
As Ophelia walks up to the blue box, she notices that there are still five books left.
Out of the five books one boom caught her eye.
It was a green boom with a beautiful picture of a woman in Regency era clothes, next to her were a floating fish, a chipmunk and a fiesty looking white Dragon. In the background was a another woman cheering in the background.
And 'The Villainess decides to run a shop' was written in big bold letters.
"Um...ma'am? I'd like to take this one please."
"Hm? Oh of course!"
"Thank you so much! Good afternoon ma'am."
And with that thr two students go back to their class.
"Hmm...i don't remember having a book with that cover...? Oh well must've been one of the old books that were kept hidden.
" So what's the book about?" Her friend asked curiosily as she folded her arms at the back.
"I don't know I just picked it up because the cover was pretty."
"Well schools going to be over in 20 minutes so can i read it with you?"
"No, I'll give it to you when I'm finished."
Holding her hand up in a sign of stubbornness and protest.
