Chapter 2534
Daisie was taken aback and took a glance at Madam Ames. “But Nollace is the one who hired her.”
“She stopped me from meeting you just now, so don’t you think it’s strange? Logically, whenever there’s a guest, she should notify you, the mistress of the manor, no matter what. But she didn’t even notify you, and she was already certain you would drive us away. I can almost feel that this woman is up to something.”
‘A woman’s sixth sense is known to be very accurate. How could an employee have the right to decide on her employer’s behalf?
‘I don’t believe that Nollace has given her such authority.‘
Daisie pursed her lips tightly and did not utter a single word.
Freyja sat upright and took her hand. “Alright, this girl is looking for a job, and I’m not in need of an employee now. That’s why I’m introducing her to you. Don’t worry. I have an eye for a great employee.”
Daisie naturally trusted Freyja, so she nodded. “Okay, I’ll let her stay.”
Freyja got up and walked toward Mia. “You’ll be working here from now on.”
After that, she whispered in her ear, “Remember to keep an eye on Madam Ames behind you at all times. Report to me whenever she acts suspiciously.”
Mia had always been a smart person, and she understood what Freyja meant in an instant. “Understood, leave it to me.”
After Freyja left, Madam Ames walked up to Daisie. “Ma’am, do you really want to keep her? But we’re not in a shortage of servants.”
“She’s an assistant that my second sister–in–law introduced to me.” Daisie looked up at Madam Ames with a calm expression. “Is there a problem with my decision to let her stay?”
“But you have to get Mr. Knowles’s permiss-”
Daisie stood up abruptly. “I know Nollace’s the one who hired you, but I’m his wife, and I have a say in who to hire too. Are you saying that what I’ve decided to do is incorrect?”
Madam Ames lowered her head. “Of course not, ma’am. You’ve misunderstood.”
Daisie was taken aback and nodded.
Mia began by telling a short story. “Once upon a time, there was a little boy who was practicing the violin while his father was reading the newspaper. And along with the sound of the boy’s violin, his pet dog began to bark and howl. Finally, his father could not bear it any longer and complained: Can’t you play something that the dog doesn’t understand?”
After a few seconds of silence, Daisie burst out, chuckling.
Seeing her smile, Mia continued. “I have another one. A guy went to see his psychologist alone and asked: Doc, I keep having these alternating, recurring dreams. First I’m a teepee, then I’m a wigwam; then I’m a teepee again, then I’m a wigwam, and then I’m a teepee again… These dreams are driving me nuts. What’s wrong with me?”
“The psychologist replied very calmly: It’s simple, you’re two tents.”
After saying that, Mia made a speechless expression to enhance the joke’s effect.
Daisie’s chuckle intensified, and she seemed to realize that Mia was trying to cheer her up. “Thank you.” Mia patted her chest. “You’re welcome. It’s my job to make you feel happy!”
