The Divorced Heiress Is Getting Married Again novel Chapter 108

Carla nodded rather enthusiastically and stepped 

forward again, stretching her lips into an unsuccessful parody of a friendly grin. 

“Yes, Mrs. Bennett. I heard from my sister that you 

were looking for new maids to hire so here I am!” 

Amelie took a better look at the woman in front of her. 

Indeed, she looked almost exactly like Mary; only her hair was much shorter, barely covering her ears while her build was sturdier, indicating that she must have been a big fan of intense physical exercise. 

She then looked back at Mary and smiled. 

“Mary, step inside my office, please. Let’s have a brief talk.”

Once the two of them found themselves in the quiet confines of Amelie’s study, Mary took a seat across her employer’s desk, shifting awkwardly as she knew that was up for a big scolding.

Amelie, however, retained her calm demeanor as she 

began. 

“How old is your sister, Mary?” 

“Oh, well… Twenty–one, Mrs. Bennett.” 

“Has she ever worked as a maid before?” 

Mary shook her head, “No, never! She—wait a minute, Mrs. Bennett, are you seriously considering hiring Carla as your maid?” 

Amelie leaned back in her chair and tried to think. 

“The two maids who have worked for me in the past are still settling their paperwork with their current employers… Judging from that almost empty resume I saw, that girl has zero working experience but she is in desperate need of a job. 

Mary is already warming up to me but one maid is clearly not enough to get the rest of the staff on my side as well. If I give her sister a job, I will already have two people. No matter how inexperienced Carla might 

be, I need her here too.‘ 

Finally, Amelie offered the maid a friendly smile and spoke again. “What can your sister do?”

Confused by that question, Mary was rendered speechless for a few long moments. Then, she scratched her right cheek and shrugged. 

“To tell you the truth, Mrs. Bennett, she cannot do 

much around the house. You see, Carla used to be quite a troublemaker when she was younger. She even enjoined a gang and almost got into jail! Thanks to my uncle who has connections with the police, we 

managed to send her to the army, you know, to get her head straight, and it actually helped. 

She finished her service several months ago but hasn’t been able to find a job since. She doesn’t want to do “manly” jobs as she calls them, but at the same time, she is literally qualified for nothing.” 

‘A maid who cannot do anything…‘Amelie turned her head to the window and let out a short sigh. ‘Well, I don’t need her to do anything difficult anyway; it’s just a menial job. But if I give it to her, she will definitely be entirely grateful to me, and that means loyalty and respect. 

Shifting her eyes back to Mary, Amelie declared, “I will hire your sister as one of my maids. Please let Mrs. Greene know and get her to have the paperwork ready

by tomorrow. Carla can start working for me right 

away.” 

“Oh my…

Amelie flinched and wrapped her loose knitted cardigan tightly around her chest as the strong gust of evening wind touched her skin through her clothes. 

It was only September but the evenings were beginning to get rather chilly. She needed to think over a much warmer wardrobe now. 

‘I think I am going to miss my lonely evening walks. Liam promised that I could get back to work starting next week which means I will have less idle time on my 

hands. 

It’s strange… I was restless when I had nothing to do, but now I feel sad that this laziness will disappear again. Humans get used to changes so quickly…” 

As she slowly walked around the mansion, her mind wandered back to the events of the day. 

‘Mary was right; her sister is indeed something else. I caught a glimpse of her showing Carla around the
