The days when I was a maid in another world

I asked Hayley, "Why is Madeleine standing in line like us when she has a recommendation?"

Hai Li snorted again: "I guess, she wants to verify whether her appearance is top-notch. If she is selected, she will prove that she is eye-catching enough. If she is not selected, it will not be too late to rely on a letter of recommendation to enter the house."

I couldn't help nodding, because Madeleine was indeed so beautiful. Just the red hair and white skin would make a man unable to move his eyes away, and the deep and beautiful facial features were even more unforgettable.

I have one more question - "Hayley, how did you find out about this?"

Haili looked proud, leaned over and whispered: "I overheard Talis and Emilia talking about this!"

After Madeleine entered the mansion, she gave the recommendation letter to Talis and asked her to pass it on to the lord.Then Talis went to Emilia according to the lord's order, and asked her to directly promote Madeleine to a kitchen handyman.Emilia said it was against the rules, unless Madeleine was a cook.Then Talis explained Madeleine's identity, and said that such an arrangement was the lord's intention.

When the two of them said this, they were standing near the stairs on the third floor. When Haili finished cleaning the second floor and was about to leave, she just heard their conversation.

Therefore, Madeleine, who became a kitchen handyman as soon as she entered the mansion, was directly promoted to an exclusive handyman when there was a vacancy for the exclusive handyman.

Although I heard a little bit of gossip, these news are really of little use to me. I only know that the way to get to the third floor is not enough to rely on promotion.It seems that I must find another opportunity!

***

Before dinner that day, Anna and I were cleaning the corridor when a strange man came from the other end of the corridor.

The man was quite tall, only a little shorter than the lord, but he was very fat, and his protruding belly was about to unbutton his shirt, and he couldn't even try to button his suit jacket.

He was a typical Western man, except that he was tall and fair, with flaxen hair and light brown eyes.The appearance is still Zhouzheng, but the expression is a little serious.

When Anna saw the person coming, she immediately pulled me aside and bowed her head. I didn't know, so I followed suit.

When the man was about to pass by us, he stopped suddenly, and then a voice sounded above my head: "Are you from the East?"

I was startled, thinking what happened to the Orientals?

Seeing that I didn't answer, Anna quickly said, "Mr. Barker, she's new here, and she's a little timid."

I quickly looked up at him, pretended to be cowering, and quickly lowered my head and nodded.

Mr. Barker looked at me for a moment, then turned and went upstairs without another word.

Seeing him go, I quickly asked Anna who that person was.Anna told me it was the lord's brother, Buck Brent Sterling.Because this is in the lord's mansion, he cannot be called Mr. Sterling, but only Mr. Barker.

I asked Anna if she knew why Mr. Barker had "Brent" added to his name.When Anna saw no one around, she whispered to me that Buck was the lord's half-brother, and Brent was his mother's family name.

half-brother?I couldn't help frowning, because I really didn't like this word.

Since Buck is the elder brother, why is Edmund the lord?Isn't the hereditary system usually passed on from the elder to the younger?It seems that the current lord, Edmund, has a bit of artifice, just like my brother who is two years younger than me, wolf ambition is not a good thing!

"Donnie, what's wrong with you? You look very bad."

I was interrupted by Anna's words, and at the same time came back to my senses: "Oh, it's nothing."

***

After dinner in the evening, I didn't go back to the dormitory, but went for a walk outside alone.

Almost subconsciously, my route became a circle around the bedroom.But no matter how many times I walked, I couldn't find a way to the third floor.

The air was a little stuffy, which made me even more irritable, so I opened the neckline a little.

When walking back, I met Mr. Barker who was walking out at the main entrance of the bedroom.

He stopped, looked at me and smiled, "What's your name?"

"Donnie," I replied respectfully.

"Donnie," he repeated, his eyes wandered around me and finally landed on my neckline, "that's a nice name. Then Donnie, would you like to be a maid in my house? Of course, the position is much higher than it is now."

He continued to smile, his words full of temptation.

Of course I won't go, it's a last resort to come here to be a maid, why should I continue to be a maid elsewhere?

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Barker." I politely declined, "I don't want to go anywhere just yet."

He gave me a meaningful look and said in a low voice, "If you don't want to be a maid, that's fine."

I:"……"

Is he blatantly seducing me?

I guess he must be interested in my oriental appearance, otherwise he would not have noticed me from the beginning.

I thought to myself, this guy is just like the lord, both are so lustful!Perhaps, this kind of thing is really a family tradition...

"Mr. Barker, I should go back, or I will be punished when Emilia finds out that I am not there after rounds." I saluted him and hurried through the door.

I could feel his eyes glued to my back until I turned the corner and that feeling disappeared.

I couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said to myself, isn't my charm a little too much?What the hell, even men can charm several of them!

When I got back to the dormitory, I just pushed open the door when I saw Anna changing clothes. I was stunned for a moment, and quickly closed the door.

I don't see anything!

After a while, the door opened from the inside, and Anna asked me puzzled, "Why don't you come in?"

My old face couldn't help but started to have a fever. I coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing." Then I entered the room.

Anna glanced at me suspiciously, seeing that I refused to speak and did not ask further.

I couldn't help but secretly sighed: Fortunately, the one living with me is an underage girl. If this is a mature beauty, I don't have the confidence to hold onto it...

***

The next day, Emilia informed us of a general cleaning.This means that Anna and I not only have to clean the floor of the hall on the first floor, but also wipe out the glass of several French windows!

Looking at the glass in the corridor and hall, I almost cried!

When will so much glass be wiped?when? !

Even if there are 1 people who are unwilling, the work still has to be done. Who is more powerful than others?

Anna and I wiped the glass together to make sure it was clean.When rubbing to a high place, the two of us had to move a ladder and climb up to work.

After cleaning two windows, Anna and I were too tired to slow down.Seeing that there were still a dozen windows waiting for us, my heart was filled with sorrow.

At this moment, the lord and Talis walked down the stairs.They stopped suddenly as they walked down the corridor and passed our window.

The lord glanced at the glass we were cleaning, said something to Talis, Talis nodded, and then the lord left first.Talis raised her cane and tapped it on a piece of glass, Anna wiped it immediately, Talis glanced at it and tapped it again with her cane, I immediately understood that my side was not wiped clean.

But the sun was shining from the side, and the glass reflected the sunlight, making my eyes dizzy, and I couldn't see whether the glass was clean or not.I wiped it several times with a rag, and seeing Talis finally put away her cane and turned away, I couldn't help but curse inwardly: The lord's cleanliness is too serious, he loves cleaning so much, doesn't it mean that he doesn't usually talk to women? Kiss!

By the time the sun went down, the two of us had only finished wiping the glass in the hallway, and there were still several windows waiting for us in the hall.When we were thinking about whether we needed to work a late shift to clean the glass, Emilia came over and told us that we could clean the rest tomorrow, but we must finish all the cleaning tomorrow because the lord will have a dance party tomorrow night.

prom?My eyes can't help but light up.

Maybe, this is an opportunity.

***

On the day of the dance, Anna and I cleaned up the first floor, and we even polished the marble floor.

In the evening, many horse-drawn carriages came to the mansion, and many gorgeously dressed gentlemen, wives or ladies got off the carriages and entered the palace one after another.

Every maid is very busy.This was the first time Anna and I had a dance in the house. Emilia was afraid that we would knock over the wine glasses with our clumsy hands, so she arranged for us to watch things in the cloakroom.

The cloakroom is on the left as soon as you enter the hall.The folks at the ball are rich and expensive, so Ana and I have to watch their clothes and bags.

The invited band was already ready, and when the two-meter-high grandfather clock struck eight times, the music started.

Anna and I stayed in the cloakroom, and we could only peek out secretly, but couldn't see the scene clearly.

After the lord gave a brief opening speech, the ball officially began.

After all, Anna was a child at heart, and she had never attended a dance before, so when she looked out, her eyes were full of envy and expectation.

"Can you dance?" I asked her softly.

She shook her head, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she whispered back: "Our village is very conservative, and we never hold dance parties."

"Want to learn?" I asked again.

She pursed her lips tightly for a while, and finally nodded.

I couldn't help laughing, then stroked her soft hair and said, "I can teach you."

She widened her eyes in astonishment, and whispered, "You will?"

"Well." All social etiquette is a compulsory course for me.

"Then..." She was a little shy, but mustered up her courage again, "You must teach me when you have time!"

"Okay." I nodded. Seeing that everyone was busy at the ball, but we were the only ones in the cloakroom, I couldn't help but suggest, "Why don't I teach you now, anyway, we are free right now."

"This is not good..." She hesitated, obviously worried that it was working time.

"It doesn't matter, no one passes here anyway." I encouraged.

She finally nodded in agreement.I held her hand, and while explaining the specific dance steps, I led her to rotate with the music.
