Chapter 163

Time goes back three weeks

Bell spent all his money and finally came to Lucy and stood in front of the iron gate of Drake manor.

He reported to his family and claimed to be a friend and classmate of Lorraine. He made an appointment with Lorraine to meet at Luxi manor.

Although he was dressed sloppily, the temperament cultivated by his perennial military career and excellent origin still made the Indian servants who guarded the door dare not stop him a little and took him directly to the villa of the manor.

At that time, it was the fourth day after chuck left the manor. Miss ofey's conspiracy theory could take shape and was trying to prove her value in her new post.

The value of housekeeper certainly needs to establish dignity.

The problem is, she's not really good at it.

Her straightforward and simple nature made her unable to hide things on her face, and her young and independent past made her too strong. The result of the combination of the two was to over correct and mistakenly take broken thoughts as an effective way to control her subordinates.

She was teaching two Indian maids a lesson. The reason was unknown and the process was unknown. In short, when bell arrived, she was full of fire and strangers were not close.

The Indian servant who led the way did not dare to touch the bad luck of the new boss. As soon as bell was lost, he ran back to his post.

Bell felt it was hard to interrupt the rules of the manor, so he stood in the shade and waited so quietly.

He waited and waited for half an hour, but miss ofey still didn't finish her lecture. It seemed that she didn't find a white man whose temperament and clothes were eye-catching near her.

Bell began to feel that miss ofey was deliberately making trouble for him.

After all, in his impression, every English housekeeper is a model of etiquette. He never shows anger in front of his subordinates, nor does he ignore his master's distinguished guests.

In contrast, miss ofey's performance was too deliberate.

There are only two possibilities.

First, the young lady worked as a housekeeper for the first time in her life. She had neither received relevant training nor seen a real housekeeper before.

This is impossible!

Second, Lorraine knew that bell was coming and didn't want to see him, so she asked her housekeeper to order him away in this euphemistic way.

Almost, definitely!

At this point, from the perspective of a gentleman, bell should take the initiative to leave and make an appointment another day.

However, he had no way back.

Being penniless means that he can't even guarantee his basic life in Luxi. If he goes back to Shaq for relief, according to Shaq's temperament, he may really be thrown into a military court.

He could only take risks and force miss ofey to have a positive conversation with him.

So bell, with the bravery and fearlessness that a Royal Navy should have, directly interrupted the lecture with a sense of ceremony in the heart of Xinzha housekeeper. Even the way was naval front-to-line and hard faced.

"Chatter, chatter, are you constipated?"

The dust settled.

The first meeting between bell and miss ofey ended with a tragic loss.

Instead of establishing her authority in front of the Indian servants, miss ofey gained the insulting nickname of "constipated lady".

Bell was thrown out of the manor directly by Marca and another strong servant. Miss ofey assured her that he was definitely not Lorraine's friend.

Suddenly, bell is finished.

Because of his cheap mouth, he was forced into a survival crisis.

Luxi is a coastal town. There are many ways for an excellent sailor to live, but there are very few choices to take into account the possibility of living and meeting Lorraine.

He made the boldest decision of his life. Together with the bankrupt pioneers, he applied to become a farmer of Drake manor plantation. Then he plowed the land for three weeks, worked as slaves, ate the food of slaves, and almost died suddenly in the village of the plantation.

That's the story.

Lorraine sat speechless between the two men, looking on the left at Miss ophy, who was dying of shame and anger, and on the right at Mr. bell, who was elated.

This scene is familiar

Lorraine was silent for a long time and quietly pulled bel aside: "so, do you like my housekeeper?"

Bell's face was shocked: "how could it be! It's all strategy! Strategy!"

"I know that dirty topics are taboo for ladies. For the first time, you may want to fight back, but why mention them again in my study? Don't you want to leave an indelible impression on her?"

"God, am I crazy? Even my cook is much softer than her when she teaches black slaves!"

Lorraine looked at Miss ophy regretfully: "you know? I think ophy is frank and innocent. She lost her parents when she was a girl and took care of the hotel as the premier place of residence in Royal port. Now she is not really like her, but she lacks a sense of security and self-confidence because she was suddenly thrown into a strange environment."

Bell looked at Lorraine strangely: "you suddenly told me this..."

"Ophy is a good girl. If you really like her, you have to make love in another way."

"I said I'm not..."

"Take your time, be calm, feel your heart, and don't be blinded by the hardships you've suffered these days." Lorraine patted bell on the shoulder, straightened his waist, and regained his dignity. "Er, cough, ophy, this is bell judia, my classmate, friend, excellent student of Shanghai school, and one of the top helmsmen in the world."

Miss ofey knew that Lorraine was introducing them to each other, which meant that Lorraine was ready to take in the annoying scoundrel.

She felt offended.

But this is Lorraine's manor. The owner of the manor has made a decision. As a housekeeper, he has no position to refuse.

She could only take a deep breath and bowed with the most perfunctory and hasty action: "Hello, Mr. Judea!"

"Please take this as the beginning of reconciliation," Lorraine said to bell. "Judea, ophy McCarthy, the housekeeper and backbone of Drake manor, the liaison officer of the Caribbean branch in the general assembly, and a capable Irish lady."

"HMM."

"Bell?"

"Hello, Miss McCarthy."

They looked at each other stiffly, then turned their heads together: "hum!" "bang!"

Lorraine was satisfied with the result

He didn't intend to be a matchmaker. Whether these two people become or not, anyway... Don't quarrel as soon as you meet. It's enough to revolve around shit, urine and fart.

He glanced at the messy tea table: "two things, ophy. Let someone come in to clean up the study. My best friend said goodbye. I was a little excited just now. The second thing is to clean up a room for judia's classmate. He will stay in the manor for a while."

"Yes, sir."

Miss ofey reluctantly left the door. Bell looked at Lorraine in surprise: "Drake, how are you going to settle me? Stay temporarily? Are you going to send me back to Europe in a few days?"

"This is the best way, isn't it? It's better than the gallows."

"But I still want to go to sea!"

"You have to go to sea when you go back to Europe..."

"You know I don't want to go to sea like that! I want to get on the boat. Now everything is because of you. You have to take responsibility and don't let Sir Leighton worry about me."

"Sir, I don't worry about you who violate military law." Lorraine smiled. "To tell you the truth, I don't trust you."

Bell hung his head in dismay: "I must have accidentally owed your brothers something. The big ones don't give me a living and the small ones don't give me hope... If I return to Europe like this, I'm a wanted criminal and can only work under black businessmen and pirates all my life... My sister, my poor sister must drop out of church school, and it's impossible to buy a decent dowry and marry a gentleman..."

"Don't talk about your sister!" Lorraine's head was covered with black lines.

Bell pitifully raised his eyes: "Drake, remember when my sister gave you the scarf she knitted when she was at Sea School... She was only 12 years old and regarded you as her first love. Although she soon knew it was just a misunderstanding, but you had the heart to let her marry a philistine businessman?"

"And my mother, she entertained you at home. Did you promise her that you would take care of me? I became a bandit, my sister dropped out of school to marry a businessman, and the only face in the family was ruined. Are you going to take care of me like this?"

"You're humble!" Lorraine grinned. "The more so, the more proof you have a plot!"

"I have a plan, otherwise I'll come to you for what?" bell spread his hands. "I want wealth, reputation and family glory. You know this is what I've been pursuing. Now? The way to pursue reputation is blocked by your brother, and I can only pursue wealth. As the whole northwest Europe knows, the motto of your Drake chamber of commerce is Young people, just have money. What do you want to dream about? "

"You said the opposite!"

"No, it's obviously your proverb that is deliberately written backwards. You're on the rise. I'm very optimistic about you."
