“Yeah, she does have the ability to be a marvelous housekeeper.” Daisie lowered her head. “Freyja came to see me today, but she stopped her from seeing me. And when I said that I wanted to keep Mia here, she insisted that I had to first ask for your permission.
“I know you’re the one who hired her, so it’s normal for her to listen to what you have to say. But I feel like a person who’s being excluded, and I can’t even do what I want.”
Nollace’s heart tightened, and he picked her up and placed her onto his thighs. “Why would you think about such things?”
He approached her, and his breath brushed her cheek. “If you don’t like it, you don’t have to listen to her. You can do whatever you want, but the bodyguards must still be allowed to follow you when you go out.”
After saying that, he hugged her tightly. “I’m really afraid that you’ll get ill from boredom. Daisie, I don’t want you to be unhappy. And if you’re really unhappy, then I’ll…”
Daisie looked at him. “Then what?”
“Uh…”
She shook him. “Spill it, or I’ll be really upset this time around.”
Nollace lay on his back on the bed. “I’ll contribute my face. You can do whatever you like to it.”
Daisie lay down beside him and caressed his face with her fingertip. “Then I’ll put something on your face later. I guess that will do it?”
He turned his head, stared at her, and squinted. “What are you talking about?”
‘I was talking about kisses and caresses. Could this silly girl be thinking…‘
Daisie’s grin widened. “Makeup!”
Nollace was at a loss for words.
Daisie kissed him. “What do you think?”
Seeing his wife acting like a spoiled child, who in the world could resist that look of hers?
Nollace turned over and kissed her on the lips. “You really know when to push your luck, huh?”
The next day…
Daisie was woken up by the noisy voices downstairs. When she went downstairs, she heard Mia arguing with two other servants.
“Have you people lost your minds? The chef is actually on leave today? What a coincidence?” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Mia rolled up her sleeves and pointed at them. “Except for the chef, does none of you know how to cook? You don’t even know how to cook a simple western breakfast? Then how did you secure your job here?” One of the servants could not take it any longer. “It’s not like we’re in charge of the kitchen. Madam Ames claimed that the chef is on leave for some reason, and he won’t be back until noon.”
Mia crossed her arms. “Oh? It turns out that Madam Ames is the one who let him off, so does this mean that Mrs. Knowles will have to skip breakfast and can only wait for lunch?”
The two servants exchanged gazes and lowered their heads. “If you’re dissatisfied with this arrangement, you can talk to Madam Ames. It’s her decision anyway.”
Mia’s rage rose gradually, and she was about to say something to reprimand them when she was
interrupted by Daisie. “We should have more than one chef at home, shouldn’t we? Did all of them ask for a leave?”
Mia walked toward Daisie, still complaining on her behalf, “Ma’am, are you seeing this? They’re not even showing you any respect, are they? You’re the mistress of the manor. What is it with this attitude!?”
One of the servants stepped forward. “Ma’am, we really don’t know about this. It’s all arranged by Madam Ames. She claimed that you… You usually sleep until noon, so even if the chefs were to arrive at noon, it
wouldn’t affect you…”
Daisie narrowed her eyes.
‘Indeed, I’ve been waking up very late ever since I got pregnant.
‘But waking up earlier or later isn’t the main focus here. As a housekeeper, Madam Ames has the authority to adjust the kitchen employees‘ work schedules without permission. This is really unprecedented.
‘Perhaps Mia’s right. She doesn’t even respect me at all.‘
She stopped in front of the servant. “Where’s Madam Ames?”
The servant replied, “Madam Ames doesn’t come to work until noon too…”
After hearing this, Mia rebuked angrily, “She’s a housekeeper and actually gave herself such a privilege? Is she getting paid to serve her employer, or is she getting paid to enjoy her life in a luxurious
manor?”
