It was only then that Lulu had the time to study the tanned, scrawny maid.
She noticed Lulu staring at her and lowered her head further.
She certainly stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the other recommended maids. But just as Lulu was about to ask for her name, Vivian called out from the other side, "I think I've made up my mind. Don't you agree, Wendy?"
Lulu looked up to find Vivian standing with one of the other maids, whose cheek was covered in thick makeup and wore lipstick that completely did not match.
While, in her defense, she did put on makeup before coming, her overbearing attitude was clear and Lulu already had a bad impression of her. Moreover, Lulu would not allow a woman wearing thick makeup around when there was a baby in the house.
"No. Let's keep looking." She refused without hesitation.
Vivian, however, felt as if her authority had been challenged and was not about to give in to a mere babysitter.
Then, seeing Lulu had been hovering in front of that scrawny maid, she scoffed, "I think she's fine—she ticks every box. What, would you rather have that bumpkin over there?"
The maid Vivian picked was getting anxious as well. She even started to reach out to take Vivian's hand, but promptly withdrew and stayed still when Vivian shot her a look.
That gesture was not lost to Lulu—it seemed that Vivian was still stubbornly insisting on embedding another pair of eyes around Zachary.
