Chapter 296 - 297: Short Dinner-IV
Mrs. Jin took the drink that was served first now that she was only with her daughter, she didn’t had to put her pleasing and sweet smile, letting her stern face open that had the four servants who stood to wait for the other people in the house to come by the dining room.
"You," Mrs. Jin pointed on one maid who gingerly walked toward the woman. In Li family’s house, Mrs. Jin was the one of the worse people they would wish to never have an encounter with. Seeing how slow the maid walked, Mrs. Jin clicked her tongue, "Will you come here or not?" Her voice was raised in volume, having the maid to be startled and hurried to her side.
"W-what may I help you with, madam?" asked the woman, keeping her voice even to not gain more displeasure from the woman in front of her now.
"How long have you worked here?" asked Mrs. Jin and the maid wondered why would the woman asked her of that. Mrs. Jin looked at the rest of four servants and raised her hand to wave, letting them know that she wished to be alone now except for the maid who was now standing by her side.
The maid who had a bright reddish brown hair that were curly saw everyone had left the room and prayed that the madam wouldn’t beat her or slapped her because she had heard from the senior maids who had stayed longer than her how Mrs. Jin had once slapped a maid for doing mistake.
Her hands she held one over another was soggy, "Nearly two years, madam." replied the maid who then curled her lips in nervousness. To be locked in the dining room with Mrs. Jin would mean she had done mistake.
"Two years, hm." Mrs. Jin twirled the glass while Jin Nu Yuan watched her mother pressuring the maid and found this side of her mother to be admirable. Jin Nu Yuan since her childhood want to be her mother who was fearless, clever, and knew what she wanted. The young girl studied what her mother did to be looked by fear for the maid. "Is your salary satisfiable?"
Again the question had the maid questioned herself and she didn’t want to delay the reply. "It is not too much but more than enough for making a living."
"Do you want more?"
