The days when I was a maid in another world

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed, and Anna and I are doing the same work step by step every day.

During the period, I wanted to check the lord's study, but I never got the chance, and I never even entered his bedroom.

When the salary was paid at the end of the month, Anna and I still had nothing.

Fortunately, I still have beef jerky to look forward to.

Just thinking about when Alger would come to see me, Emilia came to deliver a message after dinner.

I told Ana not to go to bed too early and I would bring her something back.She asked what it was, and I just gave her a mysterious smile and ran out of the room happily.

Alger and I came to the flower bed last time.I sat on the stone platform, took the paper bag he handed over, and happily ate the beef jerky inside.

Well, yes, it really belongs to the one in the south of the city.

Neither of them spoke, I was busy eating, and he just watched me eat quietly.

After eating half of it, I wrapped all the remaining beef jerky and prepared to take it back to Anna.

"Alger," I looked at him and said with a smile, "I can't always eat your food for free, how do you want me to repay you?"

He was startled, then smiled, "It's just a snack, you don't need to pay back, as long as you like it."

"That can't be done." I stood up, saw him stand up too, and continued: "There is no such thing as a free lunch, I have to pay you back!"

"It's really not necessary..."

"But I don't have any money now, otherwise I can buy you something in return." I frowned pretending to be distressed.

"So I don't need you to return..."

"How about it," I pretended to have made up my mind, "I'll give you a kiss to express my heart!"

Hearing this, Alger was instantly stunned.He looked at me motionlessly, without blinking, his expression was so dull that I almost couldn't help laughing.

"Close your eyes!" As I said, I slowly moved over.

His face slowly turned red. Seeing me approaching, he moved his face back a little bit, but the soles of his feet froze in place as if rooted.

"I'd be embarrassed if you opened your eyes... Quick, close your eyes!" I urged.

He immediately closed his eyes, tensing the line of his jaw tight.

I leaned into his ear and whispered: "Next time, buy me a sausage. It should be thick."

After finishing speaking, I ran away with a smile.

"Donnie!" He shouted angrily behind me, "You're teasing me!"

I turned around and waved at him, and said with a smile, "See you another day, vice-captain!"

He shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help laughing, "See you another day!"

Saying goodbye to Alger, I immediately went to my bedroom.

The episode just now put me in a good mood.That guy Alger is too honest and easy to tease.And I expected that he would not be angry with me, so I dared to treat him like this.

Alas, with his temperament, he might not be able to lose his virginity even when he is 30 years old.I think it's better for me to teach him the skills of picking up girls before I leave, which can be regarded as the reward for eating his snacks.

***

That night, one of the lord's mistresses arrived at the mansion in a fine carriage.Anna and I were cleaning the corridor for the last time, and the woman dressed as a lady swayed past us without even looking at us.

At dinner, Hailey came over and told us that the woman who came tonight was Leila, the youngest daughter of a wealthy businessman in the city.In the future, all the property of the wealthy businessman will be given to the eldest daughter and eldest son-in-law, so the younger daughter will get nothing but a little dowry.Originally, the wealthy businessman planned to marry his youngest daughter to the son of another wealthy businessman, but Leila was very obsessed with the lord, and in the end she obstinately disregarded her father's objection and became the lord's mistress.

"I guess she must be thinking about marrying the lord one day!" Hai Li snorted softly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"Maybe one day the lord wants to get married, and he will really marry her." I said casually, after all, the rich merchant's daughter is better than the maid last time.

"Dream!" Haili couldn't help but rolled her eyes.Seeing that Anna and I looked at her without knowing why, she was a little proud, and leaned over and whispered: "The lord probably won't get married in this life..."

"Why?" Knowing that Hai Li was waiting for this sentence, I asked sensibly.

"Because..." Hai Li lowered her voice, "The lord hates women."

Anna and I: "..."

Hayley continued to break the news: "The lord loves his wife very much, but was betrayed by her, so he is very prejudiced against women. There are no male servants in the mansion, and all women do handymen to prove this."

I thought of the brief conversation I overheard that night while hiding under the lord's bed.Haili's words are very similar to what I heard at that time, so her words are still very credible.

"Hailey," I leaned over and whispered to her, "You're really good! There's nothing in the house that you don't know about!"

Hai Li smiled triumphantly, and said, "My father and elder brother used to be servants in the mansion. Later, the lord dismissed all the male servants, and they left the lord's mansion."

I took the opportunity to take a closer look at Haili. She looks good, but she is not a top-notch beauty. The few freckles on her face make her appearance greatly compromised. No wonder she has been working for more than a year. Still a lowly handyman.

"I can tell you two," Hai Li became slightly serious, "I told you these things because you two are honest and peaceful, and you are not allowed to spread it!" Her eyes became sharp, "If it spreads to Emily or Talis' ears, then we all have to pack up and leave!"

"I didn't hear a word of what you said just now!" Anna quickly replied nervously.

Although many things that Hai Li said were of little value to me, in order to hear valuable news in the future, I still made a promise: "Don't worry, Anna and I will not say anything about it."

***

The next morning, when Anna and I rushed to the small restaurant for a routine morning meeting, we heard the maids discussing something in a low voice.

I pulled Hailey aside and asked her what was wrong.She didn't hide it, she said it all.

It turned out that there was a new personnel change among the maids.

Last night, the mistress of the lord——the one named Leila, because she ate a piece of pastry she liked, insisted that the lord give her the maid who made the pastry.The maid was unwilling to leave the lord's mansion, but she was afraid of offending Leila, so she recommended another maid who worked with her and promised that she could make the same cakes.In the end, Leila took the best option and took away the recommended maid.

Therefore, the kitchen lacked a handyman to help the pastry chef.

After hearing the news, the low-ranking maids were ready to move, hoping that they could be promoted.

I'm not interested in anything other than working on the third floor, so these low-level maids naturally don't include me.

Everyone was discussing in a hurry, but the sound of the keys hitting each other made them shut up immediately.The maids immediately lined up in a neat line, and then looked at the door in unison——Emilia was walking in from there.

Emilia counted the number of people, and then said: "Last night, the kitchen handyman Nancy left with Miss Leila, so the kitchen is temporarily short of a handyman."

Her words made many people tense and look forward to it.

"I discussed it with Talis, and decided that—" Her eyes swept over our faces one by one, "Anna will take over this position temporarily."

Anna was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head.Standing right next to her, I could feel her joy and restraint.Her mouth was tightly pursed, and when she heard me say "Congratulations" in a low voice, the corners of her mouth turned up, then she glanced at me quickly, and replied "Thank you".

I'm really happy for Anna to be promoted, but it's not the same for others, especially those who didn't get selected.Several unfriendly eyes glanced over, including Haili's.

Emilia saw everyone's performance in her eyes, so her tone of voice contained shock when she spoke: "Although Anna has only been in the mansion for a short time, her diligence and cleverness are obvious to all, so we decided to give her this Opportunity. If you are not convinced, you can go to Talis."

When the word "Tales" came out, the unconvinced maids immediately lowered their heads, losing any momentum to compete.

Emilia seemed satisfied when she saw this, but it caused a commotion when she spoke again: "There is another personnel change."

Everyone breathed again.

"Judy didn't come this morning because she was kicked out of the house at midnight last night."

After Emilia said this, we discovered that the maid named Judy did not appear in the team.

"As for the reason, you don't need to know," Emilia said, "Donnie will fill the vacancy of the laundry boy."

After Emilia finished speaking, her eyes fell on me.I froze for a while before realizing that I was promoted.

But I'm not happy at all!

Laundry servants!Who the hell is going to wash up!

Seeing that there were already a few jealous eyes drifting over, I quickly said: "No, Emilia, I just came here, I'd better give this opportunity to someone else..."

"Donnie," Emilia interrupted me, "this matter has been decided, you have to obey the arrangement."

Although I was reluctant in every possible way, I still shut my mouth wisely.I didn't want to offend Emilia yet, so I had to nod to her to obey the arrangement.

"Okay," Emilia glanced at the entire team, "Anna and Donnie will stay here for now, everyone else is busy."

Everyone disbanded immediately.When Haili passed by us, she muttered in a low voice: "The thief was not kicked out, but he was promoted!"

I said to myself: Haili, I really want to change positions with you. You must know that climbing from the second floor to the third floor is the only way for me now!
