Caroline did think of a job that Minnie could try.

Speaking of which, this was the thought that came to my mind when I recalled Mrs. Anderson's words just now.Now that women like Minnie and Mrs. Anderson who can't balance family and work begin to appear, does that mean that there will gradually be a group of professional women in society now, and there will be a need for someone to take care of their children?At least according to the development of society, it is only a matter of time.

Minnie is a mother with rich experience in raising children. When she was young, as the eldest sister, she often helped the mother take care of the younger children. Her own child Tony is about to turn two years old. He is a healthy and lovely boy.

If Minnie is willing to do child care work and is willing to do it for a long time, then taking Tony to help the employer take care of the children every day is also an opportunity.

If the future develops well, she can even open a kindergarten in the modern sense.It may seem temporary, but as long as there are more professional women working in big cities, the demand will continue to grow, and sooner or later someone will find a business opportunity in it.

"Will someone really ask me to do such a job? Does this count as becoming a maid?" When Caroline and Minnie shared their views, her expression was puzzled, as if she couldn't believe it.

"Child care and maid are two different things. You can say that you are only responsible for taking care of the child at a fixed time, and teach the child how to speak and count by the way. And I am just making a suggestion that I think is feasible. Whether it will work or not, we have to take a step forward. One step," Caroline explained.

"If you don't want to try, then maybe you can only go out to work by yourself as Mrs. Anderson said, and then ask a reliable person to take care of little Tony."

"I need to think about it, and it's best to talk to Mr. Han first," Minnie finally said.

Caroline has no intention of convincing Minnie that this is Minnie's life and she always has to decide for herself.

And Caroline has been really busy recently.

Christmas and New Year are getting closer, so it is a good thing that the shopping mall has more customers. The sales at the hat counter in the past two weeks have satisfied the manager and Ms. Green. Caroline’s commission has also increased visibly, but at the same time Meaning she was more tired when she went to work.

When she went home at night, she still had to think about what to write in the collocation recommendation for the newspaper this week.She plans to move this Sunday, so she has to prepare the manuscript in advance.

The cooperation between Caroline and "Chicago City Life" has been very stable. According to the newspaper's reply, Caroline's column has already gained a group of loyal readers, and last week they sent her several letters from "enthusiastic readers" ".But Caroline didn't want to be satisfied with this, she started to try more articles on topics related to fashion and family, hoping to contribute to larger newspapers or magazines after a while.

……

On Friday, Caroline met Joanna and Laura in the staff lounge, and took advantage of the lunch break to fill their stomachs and chat for a while.

"So you found the house like this?" Joanna was surprised, "Why do I feel a little unreliable?"

"I also find it unbelievable. Isabella didn't even confiscate the deposit, and the rental agreement was written very informally. I suspect that this is her first time as a landlord." Caroline took a bite of the jam bread she had just received and continued,

"I wanted to ask you and Annie if I knew a reliable introducer that day. It would be even better if I could just introduce a roommate to me, but I didn't expect everything to go so smoothly. I plan to go and have a look after get off work today. I also brought a piece of luggage and plan to put it there.”

"By the way, Laura, I remember you also said you moved last month? You haven't mentioned where you moved to us yet," Joanna turned her head and asked.

However, Laura seemed to be immersed in her own world. The bread was almost crushed in her hands. When it was mentioned suddenly, she froze for a moment and squeezed out a forced smile.

"Why do you always seem to be slow lately?" Joanna stuffed the last piece of bread into her mouth, shook her head and said, "You can't do this, let Ms. Green see that maybe you will be deducted from your salary."

"Sorry, I might not be feeling well," Laura threw the things in her hand on the stool, hurried into the staff bathroom, and closed the door.

"Is she okay?" Joanna asked Caroline a little uncertainly.

Laura's complexion did not look very good, and her mental state was a little bit wrong. Caroline walked over and knocked on the bathroom door, "Laura, are you okay? Do you need us to take sick leave for you and Ms. Green?" ?”

Although there is no such thing as sick leave for employees in Meisi Mall, after working for a long time, Caroline found that her bosses are not so unreasonable. Ms. Green and Manager Adler would understand the occasional half-day sick leave.

"It's okay, you guys go back to work on the first floor, I'll go down in a while," Laura's voice was muffled.

The lunch break was too short, and Caroline and Joanna really couldn't wait here.Now that she said so, the two quickly straightened their clothes and returned to their respective posts.

In the afternoon, more than a dozen groups of customers came to the hat counter, and Caroline and Vivienne were very busy.

Ten minutes before the mall closed, there was a loud quarrel at the women's clothing counter.

"What happened?" Vivienne didn't receive customers at the moment, and hesitated whether to go and have a look.

Caroline also heard the quarrel. It seemed that the quarrel started because some customers were not satisfied with the service. She was inexplicably uneasy.But she was packing the mink fur hand warmers she had just bought for the two ladies, and the guests were still waiting, so she had no time to worry.

After Caroline sent the two customers away, Vivienne had already checked the situation and came back.

"It's Laura," Vivienne said with a sigh, "she wrote the wrong amount when she issued the invoice to the customer. The customer was very angry, but when she packed it, she used the wrong color of the box they asked for. That person The customer is clamoring for the manager to fire her right now."

"Is the matter settled?" Caroline asked when she heard that the quarrel had stopped.

"Ms. Green just passed away, so there should be no problem."

The salesmen at each counter were silently paying attention to the women's clothing area near the entrance of the mall, and so was Caroline.She felt that she had guessed something, but intellectually hoped that she had guessed wrong.

After the closing bell rang, Caroline wanted to find Laura.She is not a nosy character, but after a few months, she has already regarded several girls as real friends, and she feels that she can't do nothing.

But Laura was no longer at the counter when she got off work.

"Laura was called to the office by Ms. Green. She told us to go home first and said that we would talk to Laura alone." Joanna told everyone.

Caroline thought that there was still a chance tomorrow, so she went back to the lounge to change, and took her small suitcase to the newly rented apartment.

Seeing that Isabella was at home and warmly welcomed her, to be honest, Caroline felt a little relieved.

Isabella's drawing room has been refurbished.

In the living room, sofas, bookshelves and side cabinets were newly added, a large carpet was laid on the floor, and there were many paintings on the walls, most of which were landscape sketches, except for one, which was a very cute butterfly dog.

"That's my brother Francis, and his dog George I," said Isabella, watching Caroline staring at the painting.

There is obviously only one dog in the painting, but Caroline looked at her playful eyes, stepped forward to look at the painting carefully, and finally saw a faint shadow of a boy in the dog's black grape-like eyes. Can't help laughing out.

"You and your brother must have a good relationship." Caroline took the hot tea that Isabella poured her.

"Well, we grew up together, and he is only three years younger than me." Isabella's face flashed a nostalgic look, "But he is now doing business with his uncle, and there are not many opportunities for us to meet, otherwise I really want to Introduce you."

After drinking the hot tea, Caroline felt her body warm up, so she went to put the old clothes she had brought into the closet.

It's embarrassing to say that Caroline was not used to Minnie's lack of a closet for her personal belongings. Now she has a spacious closet of her own, but there is nothing to fill it.The summer clothes put aside first were all brought by Carrie from her hometown. Caroline knew that she would never wear them again, but she still didn't throw them away.Keep it as a souvenir...

Sister Minnie felt both gratified and somewhat sad that Caroline had rented the room by herself.

"You have to take care of yourself in the future," she told her sister.Caroline also promised her sister that she would come back to see her often in the future.

As for the matter of work, Caroline hinted again after the meal, but seeing that Minnie didn't answer, she stopped mentioning it.

Caroline went to the mall early the next day, and she felt she had to talk to Laura if her guess was right.

To her concern, Laura did not show up for work the next day.
