After choosing the nanny, Amy was about to leave. At this time, the nanny spoke up.
"Mrs. Carter, may I ask you a question?" her voice was low, as if she was green and inexperienced.
But Amy felt a little familiar in her voice. She looked back at the nanny again and was sure she didn't know her. Although the nanny was speaking, she seemed to be too timid to look at Amy.
"Go ahead. What do you want to know?" Amy sat down again.
"I'd like to know my monthly salary. Excuse me. My mother is sick at home. I have to earn money to treat her. I can do anything. I just hope my monthly salary can be good." The woman said and bit her lips, and looked pitiful.
"Leave this question to me. You can inquire about the treatment offered by the Carter family. In R City, few families can offer better treatment than we do. The former nanny asked for leave because of something urgent. Otherwise, you wouldn't have a chance to get such a good job." Robin then explained to the nanny.
"Sounds great. Thank you." Once the new nanny heard that the treatment was pretty good, she was relieved.
"What's your name?" seeing the nanny keep looking down, Amy asked her.
"Marian Wood," Marian Wood, the nanny, then looked up and peeked at Amy.
"Well, a pretty name. Your parents must be well-educated." Amy looked at Marian, who had big eyes, an average nose and average lips. She had a plain face, but her voice made Amy feel a little familiar.
"Have we met before?" Amy asked Marian directly.
"I don't know. I work in the nanny market. There are many people who come to see us every day. Many people have seen me. Someone asks us to speak native language, so that we can take good care of the children. So, I will speak a few words sometimes." what Marian said was reasonable. Her language was perfect. She should have been specially trained.
"Alright. Robin, take her away and arrange accommodation for her. She is just here. It will take some time for her to get along with Allen. When they get to know each other better, we can let her take care of Allen." After Amy arranged, she turned around and left.
She took a few steps and felt like someone was watching her. But when she looked back, there was nothing. Marian had been taken away by Robin.
Maybe it was because she had just gotten out of prison. She had been always on guard in prison. So, even if she was out now, she was still alert. Thinking of this, Amy was relieved.
After Marian worked in the Carter family, she was very diligent and often helped other servants work. Although the work she did was not good, her enthusiasm made her popular.
She was also patient with children. No matter what Allen did, she would look at him with a smile and help him with many things. Allen also liked her very much.
But there were people in the family who didn't like her.
"Did you choose the new nanny?" Richard asked Amy.
"Yes. What is wrong? I didn't choose her alone. Your son did too. He thought she was okay, saying that she looked a little like me." Amy was watching the computer. She was about to translate an article for Allen to read.
