Chapter 346

~Zara’s POV~

Taking a deep breath, I stepped into the living room with Tempest and Aira by my side. Scott trailed behind us, his hands clasped behind his back.

The ladies all straightened in their seats as I approached, their eyes wide with anticipation.

"Thank you all for coming today," I began, my voice carrying through the room. "It’s been a pleasure meeting each of you and hearing your stories."

Tempest stepped forward, her sharp gaze scanning the group. "This house isn’t just a workplace," she said firmly. "It’s a home. And being a part of this home means more than just doing your job. It means caring for the people here, for each other, and for the little ones." She nodded toward Storm, who was now perched on Vani’s lap.

Aira added with a warm smile, "We wanted to see how you interacted with Storm, our little whirlwind, because he’s an important part of this family. How you treated him said a lot about your character."

I stepped forward again, glancing at the ten ladies before me. "We needed four or five new maids, but your behavior today—how you responded to Storm and to the tasks we set—helped us make our decisions."

The room was silent, the tension palpable.

Taking a deep breath, I smiled and turned to Vani. "Vani, you’re the first person we’re selecting for this household."

Her eyes widened slightly, and for a moment, I saw something flicker in her expression—relief, perhaps? Gratitude? She quickly masked it with a shy smile.

"Thank you, Mrs. Zephyr," she said softly.

I smiled. "You impressed us with your patience and how naturally you bonded with Storm. It’s clear you have a kind heart, and that’s exactly the kind of person we need here."

Storm grinned, tugging at Vani’s sleeve. "Yay! You’re staying!" _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

The other women clapped politely, though some looked disappointed.

Tempest announced the names of the next three chosen candidates, each selected for their skills and demeanour throughout the day. Finally, after much deliberation, we settled on a fifth.

"To those who weren’t selected," I said gently, "thank you again for your time and effort. We wish you the best in your future endeavours."

The remaining ladies nodded graciously before Scott escorted them out.

As the room cleared, I turned back to Vani, who was still seated on the carpet with Storm. She looked up at me with a tentative smile.

"Thank you again, Mrs. Zephyr."

"It’s no problem. Happy to have you here with us," I said warmly. "Welcome to the household, Vani."

Tempest clapped her hands together. "Alright, now that we’ve sorted that out, let’s get the new maids settled in. Scott will show you all to your quarters."

As Vani stood to follow Scott, Storm grabbed her hand, holding onto her tightly. "Don’t leave yet!" he said with a pout.

Vani laughed softly, crouching down to his level. "I’ll be right here, little one. I’m not going anywhere."
