Nick confided in
“They are happy that there will be so new work for them to do. Many were not able to find work before… And since I was able to get out of that situation…they co to to complain…I an, for advice.”
“To you? That’s strange…”
“Because I have a serious job now. And so they wanted to know how I managed that. Of course, it was all thanks to you…”
“Well, that’s true. After all…you ca at us with a knife…”
“I…I really am sorry about that! Honest! I will never threaten you again!”
“Uh… I didn’t an it like that… I’ve made mistakes too…”
In any case, I did like it when he talked like so kind of fanatical follower.
“We’ll talk about that later. So, the slums…”
“Yes! I do not know what to do. Mr. Kalis is quite strict when it cos to hiring people. Also, the store would never make a profit if he hired so many employees. I understand why they want to get out of the slums, but I don’t know how I can help them.”
“I see. It’s not like you have your own business, or make enough to hire others.”
“Actually, you pay enough that I probably could hire one or two people.”
“I do?”
Now that I think about it, his salary was a little on the high side.
That being said, even if he did hire soone, it would not be making much of a difference.
“You give this much money… I will probably follow you for the rest of my life now!”
“Uh… Don’t think that far ahead… In any case, we will have to give the matter so thought. Of course, I can’t make any promises.”
“Oh, I’m sure you will think of a wonderful solution to this big problem!”
He said with great expectation showing in his eyes.
But I was not so genius who was capable of doing anything.
In any case, I told Nick that I would think about it, and had him return to Ractos.
“Wou?”
“Hmm. What is it, Leo?”
“Mr. Takumi. You seem to be eating less than usual… Is sothing the matter?” I think Leo is worried.”
“Ah… I was just thinking about sothing. Thank you for worrying about , Leo.”
“Wuff.”
Damn it. Ms. Helena had prepared a delicious lunch for us, and yet I was hardly even eating it.
I smiled at Claire to reassure her and then thanked Leo.
“Could you tell about it?”
“Yes, it was just sothing that Nick asked about earlier…”
“Excuse , Mr. Takumi. I have a ssage from the master.”
“For ?”
I was going to tell Claire, but was interrupted by Sebastian, who ca out into the garden.
What could it be?
“There is one for Lady Claire as well. But I believe this one is about the butlers.”
“I see. Thank you. Ah, we can talk about that other thing later, Claire. As I said, it’s nothing for you to worry about.”
“Yes, very well. Besides, you should find out what my father has to say first…”
