Chapter 139: Five Thunders Hit the Top
Full of questions, Shaida went to ask Benjamin, the steward.
Unexpectedly, Benjamin was a little hesitant, saying that he was too busy these days to explain the task to Shaida in detail, so let her walk around casually first, familiarize herself, and wait patiently.
Entering this mansion, in Shaida's eyes, Benjamin is obviously her direct "leader". Benjamin did seem to be very busy, not having a moment to spare, and arranging everything in order, but it still felt a little weird.
When I first entered the café to work, I was assigned a lot of work on the first day I came up, and I was very busy. This is a normal manifestation of "lack of manpower", right?
Vantacia and Angela were not at home, and the plan to secretly ask Angela was also in vain, so Shaida had to scurry around like a headless fly.
If Benjamin is too busy to take care of himself, then he can't just be idle, he must find something to do. Shaida secretly made up her mind.
After all, when Benjamin contacted her before, she was dumbfounded by the price she offered, and she felt that even if she sold herself, it was not worth the price.
In this case, the tuition and living expenses or something, the family does not even have to pay a penny, it is more than enough, and it can even be regarded as completely self-reliant. This is something that Shaida could not even dream of.
Obviously, it was Teacher Fantacia who took care of himself and provided such a good opportunity to himself. However, Shaida was mentally prepared - this generous remuneration must correspond to hard labor, otherwise, how could it be worthy of such a price?
It would have been reassuring to have been able to put in the intense labor, but now, it seems that I don't know where to use my strength, and I feel like I'm a thief.
After observation, Shaida finally found an unusually messy room on the second floor.
This room is not small, the lighting is good, but the interior furnishings are cold, so that people will unconsciously calm down and enter the situation of forgetting things and me. However, this room is probably forgotten, and no one has sorted it out and cleaned it, so that it is cluttered everywhere.
There are huge bookshelves, but the books don't stay on the shelves in a regular way, but are thrown everywhere on the floor and on the sofa. There are also all kinds of paper, messily painted with all kinds of unknown symbols, like children's graffiti. In the middle of the room was a large desk, which was also a mess, and the hill of books and records was crumbling.
This room does not match the clean and warm style of the whole house, it is almost like a curse.
This is probably God's revelation! Shaida thought to herself—this is God guiding me to find what I can do.
When she had spent three or four hours, exhausted and panting, and finally put the room in order, Benjamin, who happened to be passing by, turned into the room. Seeing the scene in front of him, he instantly petrified in place, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"Since I haven't had a job, I saw that it was a mess, so I cleaned it up. Everything is sorted and organized, and you won't find it! Shaida wiped the sweat from her head, feeling a little proud in her heart.
"You're still ...... Be mentally prepared for ......" After a long time, Benjamin said with a painful face, "This is the studio of Master Gray, that is, Mr. Vantacia, and it is a place where no one is allowed to step in, and no one is allowed to touch anything here, otherwise it will ......"
The person with the most headache at the moment should be Benjamin.
It's hard to be a man on both sides!
Gray took the girl into his house, and set the salary and conditions for her, and even if Benjamin was a fool, he knew that this girl could never be called by a servant, and that it was almost as good as a master. And Gray's irresponsibility is that he only tells "what to give her", and as for "what to let her do", it doesn't matter.
So Benjamin is also very difficult - what exactly should he arrange for her to be sloppy? The arrangement should be light, not too time-consuming, not too much of her physical strength, and not interfering with her dance learning—this was the conclusion that Benjamin had come to when he guessed what Gray meant.
So what else is there to do?
Even though Benjamin was busy, he was too busy to arrange a job for Shaida, which was absolutely nonsense. He's having a headache, racking his brains to figure out a solution.
He even hoped that this girl would quickly comprehend Master Gray's kindness through his own observations, and accept it calmly.
In this way, everyone tacitly knows that everything will be easy to do.
However, from his impression and perception of Shaida, he had a hunch that things were definitely not so simple.
It's just that he didn't expect that this girl's sluggishness and excess energy still greatly exceeded his expectations.
"I ...... Did you do something wrong......" Shaida panicked suddenly.
It suddenly occurred to her that under Benjamin's auspices, how could there be such a messy room? So, it must have its raison d'être. And myself, just suddenly found out what I could do, I was so excited that I didn't even move my brain.
"How......" Benjamin was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to explain it to her.
Every genius has some quirks. For Gray Fantacia, it's about not allowing people to disturb him when he works, and that involves disrupting a delicate balance in his room.
Inspiration is such a thing, and the temperament is quite eccentric, just like a cat. It may favor you at the moment, but in the blink of an eye, it will disappear, refusing to leave a trace. Gray is accustomed to the right amount of clutter in his creative spaces—to others it would be an ordinary clutter, but for him, every page spread out, every piece of paper, every string of characters that has been inadvertently recorded, and even the placement and order of various objects, there is a clue to the path of inspiration.
Therefore, Gray's workspace is an existence that does not allow outsiders to interfere. He rarely gets angry, but if someone touches his things, he will.
He didn't start doing this when he was a child, but a new habit that he gradually formed in recent years by re-choosing his path, so even Benjamin himself suffered in this regard. Benjamin was reluctant to even recall that experience.
On another occasion, the newly recruited young maid did not know how to measure, and she was proud of her appearance, and she ingratiated herself with Gray and entered his studio. Who would have thought that after picking up two books, they would be discovered, in exchange for a thunderous rage.
Gray was very angry and terrible, he didn't beat or scold, he just didn't say a word with a blue face, but he let the girl roll up and leave mercilessly, and even Benjamin suffered because of negligence in employing people, and he was punished not to mention, and he looked at the cold face for a month.
Therefore, the neat and spotless studio in front of him was like a huge nightmare, which made Benjamin instantly feel like he was thundered.
