The summer morning sun is bright and too warm, and I am afraid that it is the most comfortable time of the day. Bisharp's estate, shrouded in such sunlight.

Julie, who has just arrived at work, is preparing refreshments.

"How can there be no lemons. Merry found that corner from this corner of the kitchen, "The best thing I make is lemon cake, why aren't there lemons here?" she glanced at Julie who was preparing refreshments, "Julie, I'm asking you, why aren't there any lemons?" ”

"Please call me the foreman. The corners of Julie's eyes twitched. The day before yesterday, when Merry suddenly bypassed her and asked Bishop to work on the manor, Julie began to hate the guy.

Julie has been avoiding her, but maybe it's like the saying, the more you don't want to meet, the more you will meet! Julie feels that in the past two days, she has only 'met' this nasty guy at the manor. Everyone knows, besides Merry, who else can Julie meet in this manor, except for Bisharp, of course.

"I'm your boss. Julie said in an emphatic tone. He is still the 'biggest' man in the manor except for Mr. Sharp.

Mr. Butler seems to be the one who is closer to Mrs. Bishop (Scheer), who was dismissed by Mr. Bishop along with Mrs. Bishop after her sudden departure. You get the idea.

"Oh. Merry chuckled, "Then may I ask my boss, who is in charge of purchasing? I need him to update the purchase list." ”

Julie frowned, but still said a name.

"And then?" Merry continued, "Where can I find him?" Merry seemed impatient in her tone. "Such a large manor, like a labyrinth, I can hardly find anyone. ”

"West side court. Julie replied coldly.

"There's no one there. Merry continued his impatient attitude. "I live in the West Garden, where there is no one. ”

"You already live here?" asked Julie, who had to put down what she was doing, looked at Merry.

"Yes. Merry glanced at Julie, a smile on the corner of her mouth, "It's been two days, and you just found out." The day before yesterday dinner after you left. I spoke to Mr. Bishop again, and he let me stay. His guest, Riley. Oh, pretty young lady, and don't mind if I disturb their dinner. ”

"Merry!" Julie was a little annoyed, she didn't seem interested in even knowing what Merry had talked about with Bishop again. All she cared about was Merry at this time. is deliberately mentioning yesterday's incident, "Do you know that Miss Riley is a guest of Mr. Riley, and it is not allowed to break into the restaurant as suddenly as the day before yesterday!"

"I need to break in, no one is stopping me. Merry waved her hand, looking disapproving, "I just promised to send you home, and the wait is a little boring." I remembered to ask Mr. Bisharp if he needed a servant, and just gave it a try. I didn't expect to be promised so easily. ”

Merry looked at Julie and smiled, "Besides, before Mr. Bishop hired me, I was also a guest of the manor, your guest. Hehe, it's not that you entertained me with anything, but it's not too much to say hello to the real owner of the manor before I leave. ”

Merry's tone is annoying!

Julie pressed the delicate tea tray and stared at the woman she had only met yesterday, "Now you are not my guest, you are my subordinate!"

"Yes—" Meri said in a long finale, "maître. Can you tell me where all the people in the west court have gone? I've been two days and I hardly see anyone else. Don't tell me that the servants at Sharp Manor are the same as the maître d'hom, they can go home every day, and they are not here to deal with personal matters. Hehe, then I have to reflect on whether I have done anything wrong in the more than ten years I have worked at Smith Manor, and why there is no such preferential treatment. ”

"Merry!" Julie turned to Merry, "what do you mean!"

"It's not interesting. Merry shrugged. Oh, that means too much.

Julie took a deep breath and pushed Merry away, not a boring thing like a fight, "Then you get out of the kitchen!" Julie's tone was not good, "Don't go near any food!Xx (the name of the manor maid) They have the flu, you live in the West Garden, who knows if you have contracted anything, don't stay here! Go out and find something else to do!"

Merry was first stunned that Julie actually dared to push her, and then became puzzled, "Flu? It's summer, where did the flu come from?"

"Are you a doctor?" Julie asked with a frown, "if you don't believe me, ask the doctor! I'm going to prepare refreshments for the guests!"

Merry tugged at the corners of her mouth, not looking like she was going to leave honestly, "I said why does Mr. Sharp look so sluggish, is it the flu?" Merry leaned against the desk, and while watching Julie's hands and feet not neatly match the refreshments, she chuckled and shook her head, "Then you, the foreman who goes home every day, are quite lucky." I don't want to get sick and make a bad impression on my new boss. ”

Julie frowned. Mr. Bishop's preference for shortbread was gone, and she had to use muffins instead. Speaking of which, she doesn't remember asking someone else to buy the muffins (because Riley bought them), no matter, hurry up and send them over, when she first came, she saw Miss Riley's car parked outside, and she couldn't make the guests wait too long. Perhaps, the main reason is that Julie doesn't want to be in the same room with Merry.

"Did you know that when we were working at Smith Manor, we had a doctor in the house who was dedicated to our health. Merry looked casually chatting, "Do you need me to introduce me?" ”

"No need!" Julie tugged at the corners of her mouth, "We have it too!" This doctor of ours was introduced by the mayor, so you don't have to worry about it!"

Merry raised an eyebrow, pursed the corners of her lips, and said nothing.

Julie finally got her tea tray in hand, picked it up, and walked out of the kitchen.

Merry also moved, following behind Julie, "You're on the wrong side, it's not the reception room, it's the bedroom." "As if to deliberately emphasize something," Merry added slowly, "Mr. Bishop and Miss Riley, in Mr. Bishop's bedroom. ”

Julie stumbled on her feet, barely steady. "What?!"

Merry chuckled and spread her hands, "Why do you think I want to make lemon cake this 'after-the-fact dessert' in the morning?" ”

"Rai. Miss Riley, when did you come?"

"I don't know. Merry replied, "I was there in the morning when I greeted my husband." ”

Julie was stunned, Mrs. Sharp had only been away for a week, Mr. Sharp ...... Isn't it too fast! What a bad man. Uh, it seems that Miss Riley is not a good ...... Julie shook her head. Throw away these distractions in time, change directions, and walk with a tea tray.

Just to defend Riley. She was forced by Zach (chapter 20).

"What are you doing with me!" was bigger than Sharp Manor, and Julie couldn't have failed to notice that Merry was still following behind her after many forks in the road.

Merry just tilted her head, not at all in reply.

"Tsk!" Julie snorted. I don't want to pay attention to it. Quickened the pace.

"Come in. Mr. Bishop's voice came from behind the knock at the door, with a peculiar, well, confident tone.

Julie closed her eyes slightly, praying not to see the image that made her 'comfortable', as she pushed the door open.

Scenes that make people uncomfortable still appear. Neither of them was naked, but Miss Riley was wearing Mr. Bishop's shirt. And Mr. Sharp was half-lying in bed.

Julie hesitated, not quite wanting to get closer to the bed. With his head down, he walked to the table at the other end of the bedroom, holding the tea tray.

Whether it's curiosity, or some other not-so-good psychology, Julie lowered her head, or squinted, secretly paying attention to the scene on the bed.

Riley was sitting in the corner of the bed, leaning lazily against the pillar in the corner of the bed, holding an open magazine in her hand.

"Here's a warning to everyone, don't go near this haunted manor, you will never be able to come out. Riley put down the magazine, blushing shyly on her cheeks, and looked at Bishop with an inquiring smile, "How is it done, sir?"

"Hahaha!" Mr. Bisharp laughed, "I like it!" The guy seemed to be in good spirits, "Who wrote it?!how can you come up with these things!" he smiled and patted the soft and fluffy quilt, "Schell is a ghost, forget it when he is alive, and still haunt this manor when he is dead?"

Julie, who had put down the tea tray, shook it. At the same time, it was not only her who was shaking, but also the dark red that she could not see, which filled the entire space.

The slightly harsh sound of the tea tray colliding with the table seemed to attract some attention, and Bishop, who was laughing, and Riley, who had come to someone else's house for the second time and put on her master's clothes, looked at the maid at the same time.

"Hold, sorry......" Before Julie could apologize, Riley actually took the lead. Riley glanced at Bishop, who was still smiling, and then looked at Julie, who quickly bowed her head and apologized, "I'm reading the article in our magazine for Mr. Bishop, it's based on the fictional fantasy story of the last car interview, just to satisfy the reader's curiosity, and it has nothing ......to do with reality."

"Hey!" Bisharp lifted up, and sure enough, there was nothing on his upper body, and he reached out and grabbed Riley, "No need to explain to her, it's just a servant." ”

Riley nodded, immediately put away the apologetic expression on her face, and looked at Bishop with a shy smile, "Are you hungry?" Without Bisharp answering, Riley turned to Julie, who was embarrassed and bent on leaving, "Can you bring the stuff over? We're hungry." ”

Julie lowered her head, and no one saw the corners of her mouth, so she could only take the tea tray again and walk to the bed.

"Ahh

Julie was on the side, and she quickly put down the tea tray and was about to flee.

"Sir. "Merry. This guy actually spoke at this time, with a peaceful and smiling tone, and bowed slightly, "I have something I want to ask Mr., is it okay?"

Julie frowned, and as she walked around the bed, she desperately gestured to the blind guy. Ignored.

"Now. Bisharp looked away from Riley's lips in annoyance, and looked at Merry who was standing in the doorway.

"I don't think my sir will have time for this morning, or maybe all day, so I can only ask now. Merry had a smile in her eyes, making Julie's whole body look uncomfortable, uh, she hadn't seen the world.

Bisharp's eyes softened a little and waved his hand, "Ask Julie, don't look for me for everything." ”

Julie quickly turned around and bowed to Mr. Bishop.

"Oh, I don't think Julie has, well, useful. Merry still smiled, "Maybe like we talked about dinner the other day, she probably thinks it shouldn't be her job at all." ”

Julie's face turned bad, and she looked sideways at Merry with some concern. Just now, when the topic mentioned dinner the day before yesterday, she should have asked about it.

The corners of Bisharp's mouth twitched, he looked at Julie, was silent for a while, and spoke, "Julie, I'm still confirming with you." "The tone is not good.

"Is there anything wrong, sir?" said Julie, a little apprehensively.

"I ask you if you reported our manor to your union. Bisharp frowned, "Overwork." ”

"What?" Julie opened her mouth, completely unaware of where the accusation came from.

"Oh, are you talking about dinner that day?" Riley said at this point, she looked down and smiled, taking Bishap's hand as if to soothe a somewhat angry Bishop.

Faintly, faintly, it seemed to confirm what the man who restricted her from caring was talking about, "Is it the servants' union we were talking about later?" By the way, Merry told us, did Julie say that the manor fired most of the servants in the summer when the workload doubled, and there was no summer allowance?"

Do you know why Riley interjected in such a deliberate way of emphasizing the facts at this time, it wasn't because Zach forced it. Julie has to be fired!

"I ......" Julie's eyes widened, her eyes first moved from the talking Riley to Bishop, and when she realized that she couldn't refute this statement, she looked at Merry beside her with resentment in her eyes.

"Is this an acknowledgement? Bisharp twitched his cheeks, snorted, turned his head away, and seemed too lazy to pay attention, "Go down, dislike the high workload, and resign yourself." ”

Julie stood still, stunned.

"If you have something, tell me quickly. Bisharp waved his hand impatiently, apparently to Merry.

"Oh. Merry had completely ignored Julie beside her, "So, yesterday, I walked around the manor and got acquainted with the environment. Noticed a strange smell (corpse) in the backyard, like gas or something. I checked it and found nothing abnormal, but I still don't feel at ease, and I'm going to find someone to take a look today. I don't know if Mr. allows. ”

Bisharp nodded impatiently.

Riley, who lowered her head, pulled the corners of her mouth, and it was over, and the only two servants in Sharp were gone.

The dark red thread had pierced into Merry. (To be continued......)
