Chapter 63
Martin and the designers got to work while the others continued renovating the office, which took them one and a half hours. They were feeling so tired and famished.
After eating the meals, Mrs Cole took them back home, but they refused and claimed that they wanted to sleep in Scarlet’s mansion.
Scarlet got into her room and sighed. She was tired and sleepy, but she still took her laptop from her backpack and started choosing some missions to do. They had arrived at home at ten at night, and she worked till one in the morning before going to sleep.
She had improved her typing skills by working on seven challenging tasks and earned more than three hundred million. She had also gotten to the top one hundred, attracting the others’ attention. It had to be known that all those who got to the top hundred on that dashboard were all well figures, but there she was, a total stranger taking the positions. When they looked up and saw that it was just in few hours, they were stunned, others were jealous, while others wondered what her real skills were.
But to Scarlet, she was just doing all that to get money to accomplish everything she wanted.
She had to wake up early in the morning as she had not met all of the mansion's workers and wanted to have a meeting with them. Since they would be working there, they would stay together for a while, like a big family. Thus, she felt that some rules had to be established so that they wouldn’t overstep their boundaries or underestimate her, as she looked young.
Before sleeping, she texted Mr Gibson, transferring a hundred and fifty million to him, asking him to buy phase four to six as the apartments in phase 7 had already started being sold. She had calculated and knew that they were enough. The fifty million, to buy the empty land beside them. Though she had not yet decided what to do with it, she wanted to have it in her pocket.
She felt pleased with herself and thought that she didn’t need to worry, as she still had two hundred and fifty million in her account. Also, her two uncles had promised to help her with her aunt’s brand promotions. However, she seemed to forget that with that, she would attract Ann’s jealousy and her father would realise that she had a lot of connections, making them panic even more and regret bringing them back.
As for the horses, she felt that she needed to carefully look for someone who knew about horse husbandry and also select them carefully, as in the future, she wanted to start a business with them.
When she woke up in the morning, she found her uncle Austin talking with Samantha in the living room.
“Where are the rest?” she asked when she didn’t see Angela and Samantha.
“They went to the studio. You know Brooke is interested in designing and Angela in jewels, they went to see whether Martin has anything to satisfy their curiosity,” Samantha explained.
“And you?” Scarlet asked as she eyed the latter.
“I want to venture entertainment industry in the future. I was asking him whether he knew how I could manage that,” Samantha said as she felt that she didn’t need to hide anything from Scarlet.
“You can talk to Santino when he comes,” Scarlet said as she turned to walk away.
“Wait, how do you know that he is coming?” Austin said as he was dumbfounded by her words.
“I have always been his baby. Do you think he will continue shooting after knowing that I am back? I know my worth,” Scarlet said as she winked at him before leaving.
“Oh, you are the butler, right?” she asked the man who was standing at the door.
“Yes, miss. My name is Calvin,” the middle-aged man said.
“Are you married?” she asked him, as she had not gotten time to read their profile documents that she had been handed.
“Yes, miss. However, you don’t need to worry as none of my other family members live here,” he said hurriedly as he was afraid that she didn’t like that.
“Calm down. Go to my room and bring me the blue file on the table,” she said, stunning the man.
“Yes, miss,” he said and left.
Scarlet walked into the dining room.
“Good morning, miss. Young master Singhs told us what they like for breakfast, and we prepared it. Do you want me to serve you right now?” a chef said as he ran to her.
“Yes, please,” she said as she sat on the chair.
The chef was stunned as he had an employer who was that polite.
He walked into the kitchen, and another servant brought them out.
“No need. Just place them there. I will serve myself with whatever I need; you can leave,” Scarlet said as she saw the lady wanted to serve her.
“Miss, have I done anything wrong?” the young maid asked, making Scarlet sigh.
“No. I am just used to picking meals for myself. Go continue with your work,” she said.
“Anna, do what the boss tells you to do,” the butler said as he walked in. The young maid nodded and left hurriedly.
“Miss, is this the one?” the butler asked, and Scarlet nodded her head.
“Place them there. Also, tell all the workers that I will meet them in the backyard in an hour. They should be punctual, I hated tardiness,” she said coldly before starting to serve herself.
“Okay, miss,” the butler said and left.
Scarlet ate as she went through her worker’s documents. Mrs Cole had done her own research before deciding to employ them.
She saw that the butler had worked in two more households. One, he was fired cause his daughter topped in the exams and defeated the young miss. When he refused to tell his daughter to fail her exams to please the young miss, he was fired. The second one, the family went bankrupt.
His wife was currently at home; they had always worked together, but this time, only he was hired. She was kind and was good at taking care of her boss’s kids. She also knew how to organize banquets. Their daughter had studied business at her university, two years older than her aunt. She fell into deep thoughts as she felt that she might as well employ the whole family and unite them. Their daughter could be her sister’s assistant, as she really needed one.
As for the wife, she could help the butler in managing the house. After all, it was inappropriate for him to manage the female employees. She called him and told him what she thought, stunning the man. He was so happy and went to call his wife to tell him the news. They were also supposed to be in that meeting, and that’s why she had informed him. At the same time, the butler realized that if the young miss could get a detailed report on them, then it meant that the Singhs were not an ordinary family.
Seeming to forget the mansion’s size. How could the people who could afford it be ordinary?
She was pleased to see that none of her employees had shady dealings or even their families; they were all clean. It could be seen how careful Mrs Cole was. She was afraid that the employees might hurt them, and in public, they were currently under her.
She had finished reading the reports in half an hour, and by that time, Butler Carter’s wife and daughter had already arrived. When Austin heard that Scarlet wanted to employ the two, he insisted that he should interview them still. After that, Mrs Carter signed the same contract her husband had signed, while her daughter signed a completely different one as she was the brand’s employee and not the mansion's.
After they signed, Scarlet called her aunt and told her what she had decided before handing the brand’s location to Caren.
The other employees were already waiting for Scarlet in the backyard, as it had already been an hour. Austin accompanied Scarlet to the meeting.
“Hello, some of you know me, some don’t. My name is Scarlet, your boss, together with my aunt. I have a few things to tell you and some rules to make,” Scarlet said.
“These premises are the Singhs' premises. My name might be Jenkins, but remember that none of the Jenkins should get in here in the future. Respect everyone, your bosses, my uncles, my friends who visit, and even respect each other. I don’t want to hear that there were some quarrels; if I do, both parties will immediately be fired."
"You all work in different areas, there are thoughts who had been allocated to work inside the house, some outside, the fields, the horse stables, the swimming pools, the games area, so please don’t step into other areas that you don’t work. People working outside should not get into the mansion if I, my aunt, or my uncles have not sent for you. Those who were working inside, no one should step into my aunt’s studio, my studio, our bedrooms, and even my uncles' bedrooms without permission, yes, and my three friends’ bedrooms. This work will be left to Mrs Carter, is it fine with you?” she asked the woman, who couldn’t believe it.
It proved that the miss trusted them so much.
“I am okay with it…” she said as she stammered.
“Maybe when you have been sent. The bulter will be the overseer. The swimming pool, no servant should use it, or even ride the horses, in the future. I will build a games spot for you, but don’t play with something you aren’t allowed to. The ones working in the fields or compound keep the compound clean always. Before planting anything, ask first."
"The security, don’t let anyone in if you haven’t called the house. When a guest visits, their ID will stay with you. You register them and return to them after they leave. If you do good work, you will be rewarded, but if you don’t, you will be fired immediately. I don’t give second chances, and neither do any of my family members."
"There will be a monthly evaluation, and the one who did the best will be rewarded; there are also yearly bonuses. You might be working here, but I promise you, if you are honest and follow all rules, I will do everything to satisfy your needs. When you are done with your work, you should go back to the employees' dorms and rest there, not loitering around or resting anywhere; if found, you will be fired immediately. I also don’t tolerate laziness. Please remember all these. That’s all for today, you may go do your work.
