Sophian stood before her. Her face was a picture of hesitation and discomfort. “Madam Allison, how about you order using your phone?”
“What? You can’t even handle this small task?” At this point, Allison had completely shifted her view of Sophian, now seeing her as just another maid. Her previous tone vanished, replaced by a much more domineering attitude.
Sophian felt helpless and quickly explained, “It’s just that the food from this place is just too expensive. I don’t have that kind of money.”
Once she finished speaking, a flush of embarrassment crossed her face.
Sophian had come back with Allison to work off the debt she owed from her cosmetic surgery. Therefore, she had no money to spare.
Allison paused for a moment, a thought crossing her mind. After a brief moment, she picked up her phone and said, “It's not like I'm having you pay for it. You can't even temporarily cover it?”
Sophian smiled awkwardly. “I just transferred money to the hospital.”
Allison let out a faint hum before trying to order two of the most expensive set meals. When it came time to pay, a balance alert popped up stating that she did not have enough funds.
Reluctantly, she settled for a cheaper option.
After placing the order, Allison pretended nothing had happened and casually said, “Since you think your cooking is good, why don't you go ahead and eat the food in the dining room yourself? Those ingredients are really expensive, so don't let them go to waste.”
Sophian was surprised. She thought Allison would at least order a meal for her!
Back when she was in Seoul, Allison was not this stingy.
Allison looked down on the food she made and refused to even order an extra portion of takeout. At that moment, Sophian once again felt the sharp sting of the disparity.
Being a maid was completely different from being a beautician.
Sophian regretted agreeing to be a maid. If she had known this would happen, she would have never accepted Allison’s offer.
If the previous maid were still around, she would still be a beautician and not a maid.
She struggled with her thoughts. If she asked to bring the previous maid back, would Allison agree?
“What are you still standing there for?” Allison saw Sophian standing there in a daze. A look of displeasure flashed across Allison's face.
She thought about how her account was nearly empty and she could not even afford two expensive meals. She planned to ask Luke for money when he returned.
However, after throwing a tantrum at him earlier, would he even be willing to give her any money?
Sophian quickly shook herself out of her thoughts and decided to bring it up. “Ms. Allison, I've noticed that you and Mr. Crawford are really picky about food. While I can cook, I’m worried I won’t do a good enough job.
"Not only would I waste all the expensive ingredients, but your appetite might also be affected. Maybe we should call the previous maid back, and I can just focus on being your beautician. As for the other household tasks, let her take care of them.”
“How much extra will that cost?” Allison did not hesitate to reject the idea. “Don’t you need the money? If you do a good job, you’ll earn two salaries. Being a maid outside doesn’t pay much, but being one here in the Crawford family is way better—even compared to office workers."
Sophian paused for a moment. Was that really true?
“Besides, you don’t have any other skills. You're only good at being a beautician. If you work elsewhere, you’d just be a junior beautician. How much do you think you could make?”
When Allison said those words, she completely convinced Sophian.
“Think about it. Working here gives you stability, a big house, and all the expensive ingredients you could want. It’s so much better than what you'd have working for others. It’s better than living in some tiny, rundown apartment, eating cheap food. What’s the point of that when you can have it all here?”
Sophian could not help but nod in agreement, silently acknowledging the truth in Allison’s words.
When Allison saw her approval, she let out a sigh of relief. “So, you see, this place is much better. Don’t overthink it. Of course, you’re not used to it at first, but take it step by step. Let’s start with cooking. Tonight, I’ll give you a few recipes for Luke’s favourite dishes.
"You can start by learning them. Just use them to get by for the next few days.”
