Irene turned around. "Yes?"
"Pierre was just here, but I told him not to wake you," Eagle told her. "The tutors are here."
"Okay," Irene said and started to carry Tommy to the living room.
However, Tommy had gotten too heavy, so she had him walk on his own halfway through.
Meanwhile, Pierre brought in the tutors—there were four of them, two men and two women, and they were all Franconians.
They all appeared to be good people, though one of the men and one of the women were a little older while the other two were younger.
Pierre passed their resumes to Irene. It showed that they were all university graduates, and three had experience as tutors.
Irene glanced at the older woman, who was on the pudgy side and looked kindly.
She looked like the patient type, which Irene needed in a tutor.
Beckoning to Pierre, she softly told her the one she picked, but Tommy was suddenly pointing at the younger woman and saying, "I like her, Mommy."
Irene was left staring at him for a moment.
He was just a child, and he already knew how to pick the pretty ones?
However, she shook her head in refusal—she was too young and did not have experience as a tutor.
Tommy was stubborn, however. "I like her."
Irene was silent, since Tommy would probably refuse to learn if she picked the one he did not like.
After hesitating for a while, she eventually agreed with Tommy and picked the young Franconian woman.
Pierre then asked, "When can she start work?"
"Let's have her start on a probation term first," Irene said. "Let's see the extent of her abilities."
With that, the hired tutor was allowed to stay while Pierre led the others out.
The tutor, Louise, greeted Tommy.
Since she could speak Zidonian, she had no problems speaking with the boy.
Irene had actually missed that on her resume and thought then that Louise was a good choice too.
