Thursday, June 21st.
At nine-thirty in the morning, in the Hillston area, inside a high-end hotel.
After talking to the two housekeepers alone, Valeera made a decision in her mind.
Interestingly, her final decision was exactly opposite to her initial intention to join the Metropolitan Association for the Help of Domestic Servants.
At that time, she considered more professional factors, so she preferred the first housekeeper, Lolly.
But during the conversation, Valeela could sense that waves of evil desire would arise in her heart from time to time. Although the amplitude was not large, it was enough to deduct points.
After that, Valeela relied on the language skills of the "instigator" to hide her lack of understanding of the functions of a housekeeper, and asked Ms. Loli to share a lot of her experience and insights on the position of a housekeeper.
I have to say that Ms. Loli is impeccable in her professionalism.
Valeela smiled and asked Ms. Loli to wait in the coffee shop downstairs for the time being, and asked her to help call the second housekeeper Kana up to talk.
At this time, the professional content that Loli just said became a tool for Valeela to test Kana.
After some conversation, Valeera discovered that although Kana had never really served as a housekeeper and was not as professional as Lori, her foundation was still very solid.
The most important thing is that Valeera didn't sense any sign of evil desires rising in her.
In Valeera's eyes, this is a big plus!
Therefore, after Kana finished answering her last question and was anxiously waiting for the reply, Valeera stood up with a smile and said:
"Get acquainted again, Valeera Veitch, your employer."
Kana looked up in surprise, her eyes full of surprise.
Before talking to Valeera alone one after another, she and Loli had a simple communication in the coffee shop downstairs.
At that time, Kana clearly felt that the other party was more professional than herself, and she was afraid that this trip would be in vain.
But she obviously didn't expect that Valeera had different selection criteria.
After the brief accident, Kana quickly calmed down her expression and saluted:
"Miss, what can I do for you?"
"Three things."
Valeera picked up a silver brooch on the table and handed it to Kana.
This was a small gift that she asked the hotel waiter to buy for her from a nearby department store in the morning. It was worth about two pounds as compensation for the loser.
"First, please help me bring this brooch to Ms. Loli in the cafe downstairs, and convey my apology and gratitude."
"Second, please help me find a butler who has preferably served nobles, as well as a suitable number of servants, and hire a solicitor to draw up a professional contract."
While taking the brooch, Kana nodded to indicate that she remembered it.
"Third, and what we need to do next," Valeela appropriately showed a look of reminiscence, "is to visit my family's former residence, which has been vacant for a long time, and our future residence."
"Your task is to find a professional team to conduct a comprehensive inspection and repair on it."
"Okay, miss." Kana nodded in agreement, "Then I'll go down first, wait for the carriage to be hired, and then come up and call you?"
Kana was keenly aware that she would have to take on the role of personal maid until other servants were in place.
Seeing Valeela nodding in agreement, she saluted again, then took a few steps back, turned and left the suite.
About ten minutes later, Kana came back.
"Miss, the arrangements have been made and we can set off."
Valeera nodded, and with Kana's help, opened the cloakroom, picked out a light-colored wide-brimmed gauze hat and put it on.
Kana tied the dog leash, led Habi to the door, and opened the door so that Valila could go out.
She was very happy that she had not forgotten her duties as a personal maid.
…
West District, No. 67 Williams Street, Qili’s ancestral home.
Kana pulled off a few long vines on the black iron fence gate, and used the key Valeera gave her to open the gate with some difficulty.
The flat cement road behind the courtyard gate is mostly covered by the overgrown lawn, except for a narrow path covered with a shallow layer of dirt in the middle.
Valeera held Kana's hand and walked towards the three-story building in the middle.
After that, Valeera and Kana entered the house and generally looked around the dusty house.
From the foyer with many chairs and umbrella stands... to the hall where dozens or hundreds of guests can dance... to the square corridor on the second floor and many rooms with different functions... and finally to the main room on the third floor. Living Area……
Valeera saw many items unique to the Vicky family here, such as portraits of ancestors of a certain generation, armored figurines with family crests, etc.
Although it was the first time to see these, Valeera still made appropriate expressions wherever she went, either sighing, reminiscing, or smiling knowingly... as if she really had something here. Just like living a life.
Compared with the slight stains on the exterior walls, the interior of the house is relatively well preserved, with little damage to the furniture and items.
Finally, in the semi-open room with a bar on the third floor where you can bask in the sun and enjoy the scenery, Valeela pointed to the wooden cross in the direction of the backyard on the right and said:
"The two-meter area around the cross remains intact. In addition, any repairs that should be repaired must be repaired and restored to preserve the original style as much as possible."
“This includes not only what I’ve proposed before, but also what I haven’t discovered yet.”
Kana met Valeera's gaze, nodded solemnly, and replied:
"I remember, miss."
…
After lunch, Valeera let Kana leave and let her complete the task she assigned.
Before Kana left, Valeera handed her a bearer check from Backlund Bank for 1,200 pounds.
This was one of several checks Qili had left, and Valeela hoped it would cover the initial expenses.
Of course, since Kana hadn't signed the contract yet, Valeera secretly collected a piece of her hair as a guarantee.
Although she has determined that Kana has a good character, but it involves a large amount of money and there is no contract binding, Valeera still tends to be more conservative.
In the afternoon, she changed her clothes and went to the Jowood District. At the apartment rented by Xio and Forsi, she left a meeting message in the previously agreed method and tried to restore contact with them.
After that, Valeela went to her residence in the Bridge District, rested for a while, and prepared to go to the Dock District to trouble Mark after dark.
…
At night, Klein returned to his room, spread out his notebook, and wrote:
"On June 21st, he mentioned the 'Black Emperor'. This is completely contradictory to the era deduced from the previous content. Is the instructor's view wrong? The 'Black Emperor' is actually the common title of every emperor in the Solomon Empire?"
