“Again my apologies for what my staff's done, Miss. He's just a new staff member, maybe not used to working yet." The stall owner and staff bowed deeply. Grace was still frozen in place, trying to process the many things that had happened in the last five minutes. The red soup of her lunch already moved to her white blouse. It wasn't the accident that had taken her by surprise. Evelyn's reaction had silenced her even more. Only this time Evelyn looked so red with anger. She even immediately shouted for the owner.“Your apology won't make my friend's clothes clean again! Why are you being so careless?!” Evelyn snapped awake Grace."Evelyn, it's okay. These stains can still disappear when washed. After all, the waiter and the owner have apologized. So sit down and stop making me a spectacle." Grace whispered as she pulled Evelyn down. Evelyn shook Grace's hand roughly, which made her choke a little."Who do you think you are? You guys are just lowly peasants who might not be able to buy
"Are you okay?" Scott said after successfully entering alive. Take note, enter alive. Scott looked around. Nothing expensive was damaged, maybe just a few broken plates, glasses and mirrors. Some scattered books are also still normal. Silently Scott breathed a sigh of relief. At least the losses that must be replaced are not large.“Evelyn, I've known you for more than 20 years. I know you're in a bad mood not just because I'm interrupting your date right? And for God's sake, you're in the office. Don't show your childish side here." Scott asked quietly. He also still wants to come out intact, you know.After sighing, Evelyn threw herself onto the sofa in the room. Closing her eyes, Evelyn tried to tell her what happened at her meeting this afternoon. Scott wanders through his boss's room, picking up and pocketing anything he thinks has the potential to harm Evelyn and himself - especially if Evelyn's hulk side breaks loose. While listening to Evelyn's story, Scott also recorded all t
"So, Pearl did consciously choose this job huh?" Evelyn chirped all the way to the project they were going to review."Despite the multiple threats she's received for reasons that I don't know; there's no indication Pearl chose this job by force. Threats and terror on average also from customers who do not want to serve. Some ask for money; some are just a thing of the past.” replied Scott."It must have been a tough life. Pearl is indeed a fitting name for her." Evelyn stared out her window."Don't assume. Who knows she's happier than you are now, boss? You have to look in the mirror. You look really messed up.""Just keep your mouth shut, Scott." Scott looked a little annoyed by that answer."If you're really worried, why don't you just ask him to stay with you?""She didn't want to be restrained, she said.""You guys are just going to live together, it doesn't mean you will tie her up too right?""She still wants to work, she said.""Just let her go to work, as long as after that s
"Introducing, this is Aline. The head maid of this house. If you need anything, just tell her. Aline, this is Grace Smith. She will stay here with me from today onwards. Can you prepare a guest room for her? Then also prepare hot water for her to bathe. I also want dinner ready at 6 o'clock, okay?" Evelyn said before Grace even had time to introduce herself. Aline just smiled a little, typical of her motherhood, and nodded in understanding."Okay Miss Evelyn. Miss Smith, I'll call you back when everything's ready. In the meantime, give me your belongings, and rest in the living room. I made tea and cake earlier.""Aline, let me carry it myself." Grace politely declined."No need, Grace. Let them work. They get paid for it." Evelyn said, giving the code to the other maids to immediately take Grace's belongings and take her to the room."But - ah." The goods have already been transported. "Thank you, Aline." Aline smiled kindly. --“You should say thank you often, you know.” Grace said
The first week since the night she moved, Grace always reminded Evelyn to try to thank everyone, no matter how small or big. Evelyn also admitted, that the performance of the maids got better and looked happier. Grace had also told her maids that Evelyn was studying. That is, not necessarily she will immediately be able to thank them every time. So, the maids must be more patient and sensitive in responding to the various forms of gratitude that Evelyn conveys. The maids were very happy with Evelyn's small change. They grew to idolize Grace, often bringing her cake, tea, or even just stopping by for a massage and chatting with Grace.Entering the second week, Grace ventured to visit Evelyn in her office. Scott picked her up that day. The atmosphere in the office is not much different from the conditions at Evelyn's house. Cold, stiff and awkward. At the office, Grace had to be more careful not to provoke talk about her. After some persuasion, Evelyn also began to learn to say thank yo
“Evelyn, this is my temporary leave letter. Just like I've said before, my mother is seriously ill. And I really appreciate your offer to take a long break.” Scott handed the letter to Evelyn's desk, just as Evelyn sat down in her chair. Evelyn studied Scott's face a little longer today. Scott's face did look darker. Either tired from work or thinking about his mother. That made Evelyn's heart slightly touched. Scott is an incredibly hard worker.“Scott, of course. Take all the time you need. No need to use this leave letter, you will still be paid as usual. While you're away, can you find me a temporary secretary who can hold your job? Then give me all your to-do lists. I need to arrange for the delegation of your duties to someone else.” Evelyn said as she threw the letter into the shredder.“Continuing to be paid while I'm on leave is very unethical, my lady. For my duties, I have delegated my other duties to my subordinates. I do need to find a private secretary to help you schedu
'Scott, does Miss Evelyn always do that?', 'Scott, what is Miss Evelyn's favourite dish?', 'Scott, does Miss Evelyn like black or white coffee?', 'Scott, this', 'Scott that', and a million other questions. from the young man who was going to take his place in the meantime gave Scott a bit of a headache. 'A little more chatty,' Scott grumbled to himself. Scott does admit that Justin's work is quite good at matching his pace with Evelyn's, but Justin's curiosity needs to be restrained.“Mr. Lee, by any respect, can you just write down all the questions you want to ask on a piece of paper? I'll answer that later. My head hurts to hear you - I don't mean to insult you - but I - and Miss Evelyn - are used to working in a quiet and calm environment. I can't think at all now." Scott said as calmly as possible, trying not to offend Justin."Oh, I'm sorry Scott. I'm just so happy to get this position. Miss Evelyn is so beautiful! Is romance allowed in this office? I'm so jealous of whoever's g
"Who was that man? Really annoying! I haven't even had a chance to say my name yet." Grace grumbled as she entered Evelyn's room.“You must learn to be patient, Sunshine. He is my new secretary. Scott's going to be taking quite a long leave, so I need a replacement. My fault for not telling him about you. Now, Miss Smith, what do we have for lunch today?" Evelyn tried to lighten the mood. “I brought tacos - I hope you don't mind. Anyway, why is Scott on leave? Then there are no other candidates besides this man?” "I don't mind. Are you jealous?” Evelyn chuckled a little when Grace misbehaved. “Scott had to accompany his very ill mother. You should know Scott is like a brother to me. Look, Grace, my life hasn't always been good being a princess of the Frost kingdom. My father enjoyed playing girls in his youth. One time, my mother, who was pregnant with me, found out that my father had another child with an unknown woman. All my mom knows, is that woman is just a nightclub worker. My
