Chapter 24 – Housework Can Increase Fondness (3)
“We have the day off?” Gu Shishi found out about it quickly.
Butler Lin came to notify her personally. “Yes, the temperature is too high, so everybody has half a day off. Miss Gu, you should return to your room too.”
Gu Shishi blinked her limpid eyes and looked at the half-finished flower bed regretfully. There were all different colors of roses here and many rare and precious ones as well.
She was hoping to trim and give them a nice outline so they can be even more aesthetically pleasing.
“Oh okay, I guess I will finish up some other day~”
Butler Lin nodded.
Gu Shishi stopped again after only a few steps, “But you must let me know when we resume the work in the flower beds again. Please, please do.”
Doing chores around the house could also extend her life!.....
All these rags, masks, gloves would recharge her life!
And, as she checked again, the item “Acknowledgement of Others” is already at 5% toward the next level….
That clearly indicated that doing house work could further gain her fondness from others!
Oh, she hoped the boss would boss her around more often. He must!
Surprise flashed through Butler Lin’s face but with her looking at him with such anticipation, he had no choice but to nod awkwardly.
Gu Shishi finally left in satisfaction after Butler Lin had agreed. She hadn’t forgot to thank Shi Li repeatedly before she took off.
Anyhow, right after she had walked away, Shi Li was stopped by the solemn butler. “You’re fined half a month’s salary.”
“WHY?!” Shi Li was shocked.
Butler Lin looked toward the mansion and said, “There’s only one rule here – talk less, work more.”
Shi Li turned pale immediately. It was because….
Gu Shishi was equally pale when she walked back into her room.
She stripped off her clothes that were soaked in sweat and took a shower before she comfortably laid down on the couch and shook her bare feet as she drank cold milk.
She happily appreciated her blood bar that was now a few minutes above 3 days, and the system message of “increase in fondness from Shi Li”….
But, her happiness was short lived. The WeChat message that came in a minute later had her shrieking at the phone.
[Xiaomei: I will bring homemade cupcakes to work for you tomorrow. You can skip breakfast. We can go to that new western restaurant for lunch after our end of probation assessment.]
Ling Xiaomei was a colleague of the original owner. As they were close in age, they always had lunch together.
But….
“Aye! I am going to lose my three life-extending meals starting tomorrow?”
Gu Shishi finally realized the blind spot in her logic from this last couple of days!
She had been distracted by the race against death counter the last couple of days and had completely forgotten that she has to go to work!
This last two days was the weekend and she didn’t have to go in to work, which was the only reason she was able to laze around the mansion.
Normally, she worked as an assistant instructor at an art center in a shopping mall located in the central area of the city.
She usually had lunch outside of the house.
Sometimes ,the art center has night classes that geared toward working individuals. On those days, she would even have her dinners outside of the house.
“Oh no!! Does that mean I can only have my life-extending meals on the weekends?!” Each of those meals could extend my life for 5~6 hours!
With her cellphone held in her hands, she was crying inside.
Never mind about this end of probation assessment!
The key right now is – Boss… Help!!
