Chapter 59
The position of my exclusive maid (or servant), left vacant due to Aiden’s not-quite-a-promotion, was taken by Jane. Among the servants, Jane was the next most comfortable presence after Aiden, so I personally appointed her.
“Young Lady!”
As soon as Jane officially became my exclusive maid, she immediately leaped into my arms with her usual brazenness.
I hadn’t encountered anyone this enthusiastic since Vivian. Hm, now that I think about it... Their personalities seem somewhat similar.
Today marked a week since Jane became my exclusive maid. I was lounging leisurely in bed while Jane pulled back the curtains and opened the windows. She swung the large windows open with ease, then wiped away the sweat that had formed on my forehead.
Over the past week, I realized something—Jane was a much better maid than I had expected.
At first, I chose her simply because she was the next most familiar after Aiden... but I worried that she might be too talkative and clumsy, given how energetic she was. Kind of like our social butterfly and boundless enthusiasm incarnate, Vivian.
But unexpectedly, Jane wasn’t excessively talkative. No, rather than saying she wasn’t talkative, it was more accurate to say she knew when to speak and when to stay silent. I had assumed she was just a cheerful, lively girl, but she was far more perceptive and mature than I had thought.
“Jane, there’s nothing in particular to do today, right?”
“Yes, Young Lady.”
After opening all the windows in the room, Jane sat down in the chair beside my bed. A soft sigh followed... It made me feel a little guilty, as if I was dumping all the work on someone younger than me while I just relaxed.
But what could I do? Whenever I tried to help, she would be so flustered that it only made things worse.
