Chapter 307 - 308: Filling The Dots-I

Once Xiao Yun arrived to Wang Li Lei's house which now had become hers, she first met Yue who had his black long hair tied perfectly to a high ponytail standing beside the edge of the staircase with a other young maid.

"I have told you not to use the same brush for polishing the wood railings." Yun held his forehead to sigh. Once a maid is a maid. He wasn't in the maid since the beginning but how could he be better than the new maids around this house? He reflected on his own mistake of accepting all working proposal sent by the people who wished to become a maid in Wang Li Lei's Mansion without interview.

He should have called them all and interrogate them on the basics of their work!

He could still feel the aching in his head when he recalled how one of the maid instead of doing their job was off working their mouth off blabbering nonsense about how uptight he was. He was not being uptight or strict! It was only because he had taken a good position as the head maid to wait for Tian Yi, his uncle did he work his life off to be the perfect maid so no one would suspect him!

The maid who had just been scolded by him let a small objection glare and Yue could never miss that glare at all. Initially he wanted to ask her of her eyes but after taking the disguise of a woman, he learned a few thing from the rack.

The pulled his smile, the sweetest one he could pull that made the maid to be taken aback by his sudden smile after all the earful scolding he gave. "Remind me what was your name?"

"Yuan Xue." the maid replied.

"Yuan Xue, good." He dully noted with an uncanny tone lacing his words that remain unnoticed by the maid. "Do you remember the paper you signed before you were hired to this mansion?"

The maid had light freckles all over the bridge of her nose and her cheeks when she heard Yue's questions, she took time to think and say, "Yes."

"Do you remember all the rules?" he asked again.

The maid slipped a surprised look where her mouth gasped from Yue's question. There were a total one hundred and seventy eight rules in the paper how could she possibly remember all of them?

She slowly shook her head.

"Then do you know what you were assigned as in the mansion?"

This one was an easier question and the maid was able to reply smoothly, "My work is to keep the main entrance's corridor, the East Wing, the windows grill on the first floor to be clean-" before she could go on and on, Yue interrupt,

"That's what I think makes you still don't understand what your job is," the maid look at him confused by his words. "Let me take the kindness to tell you once again what your job is. Your job is not only to clean but to make sure it is spotless."

"Spotless?" The maid gasped. She never seen such a rule before!

"It seems that you don't believe me, you can take your sweet time later to read the agreement you had signed before being hired." Although Yue was keeping a calm tone there was something that make the made felt him to be taunting her.

"Unless you want to be fired only less than a month after being hired, I suggest you to start working deftly in a dexterous way possible. I don't think it's hard to see how large the mansion is, don't you? And as vast as this mansion is, the same is to the maid position inside this mansion. If you do not want to be replaced by a maid who knows how to work, do your best here." he said to turned around for his back to face the maid who become speechless after his words.

Feeling a smug, a grin came on Yue's lips until he noticed there was someone watching him.

Xiao Yun had been seeing the new side of Yue, the head maid who often came as an aloof person but in fact, she was very strict which remind her that she had never seen Yue being angry.

Yue walked toward her with slight sweats on his face. Sh*! Did she saw me grinning? Yue asked in his mind keeping a polite smile pressed on his lips as he walk to bow in front of Xiao Yun.

"Welcome back Miss."

"I'm back, have Li Lei came back him yet?" Asked Xiao Yun as she walked toward the staircase.

"Not yet." Yue felt grateful that she didn't seem to keep a suspicion on her. He then heard a laughter slipping from Xiao Yun that took his eyes quizzically at her.

"Why are you laughing, miss?" asked Yue.

"No, it's just that now that I think about it I rarely see the side of you that work as the head maid even though we have make quite a lot of experimental cakes together." said Xiao Yun remembering the day before yesterday where the two tried another receptive of baking where the cake was singed.

"Was it a bad impression?" He asked noticing the two maid who passed by them briefly who gave a greet to Xiao Yun and the lady replied with a warm smile. If it wasn't for Xiao Yun, the whole place would have been gloom with Wang Li Lei as the master as the house, thought Yue.

"No, in fact it is something that I find good."

"Find good?" Yue rose his brows he drew thinly.

"Yes. It means that you are doing the best of your work and are teaching the maids to do their best work, right?" Xiao Yun smiled where in truth Yue didn't think of such a thing.

"You are thinking of me too highly." he said from the bottom of his heart.

"But you should loosen up a bit being angry is fine but don't be too harsh." When their eyes met she then added, "Unless they are beyond help and is very stubborn to lazying themself." the two chuckled.

Just as the two was passing by the hall to reach the sharp corner and took a right turn at the same time a maid who was holding a vase corespondent to Yue's side took a dash for the two to crash at the corner.
