The Shadow of The Beginning

Chapter 157: First meeting and exploration

At Baird's instruction, Veronica went to a nearby room to rest, while Baird went to finish the recruitment matters on his own.

When it comes to housekeeping, the experienced Baird does manage everything in an orderly manner.

Veronica sat quietly in the room, drinking the black tea brought by the servant.

For this mission for Jobtran, she even re-dyed her favorite nail polish and hair.

Veronica's ordinary but beautiful appearance makes her look like a well-trained head maid.

She kept a careful eye on everyone in the mansion.

With Jobtran's suggestion, Veronica had already known that the Einstar family was now a place where spies and undercover agents were lurking.

All actions need to be carried out with caution, and this is a job that requires your head to hang on your belt.

Jobtran believed that there were at least three forces in the Einstar family, and the one that was exposed would pay the price with his life. The French chef was the best example.

Although the existence of friendly forces cannot be ruled out, they must still be taken seriously.

Veronica pretended that she was looking around the house at the gorgeous and luxurious decorations and paintings, but in fact she was remembering the structure and people in the entire house.

"It's a nice big house, isn't it? Living here reminds me of the days when I served the old Duke of Teutonic." Baird said to Veronica after pushing open the door.

"I can tell. The house must have been fine-tuned by a professional interior designer, and the decorations in the house were also carefully selected. I guess they took a lot of effort to match them."

Veronica put down the tea in her hand and replied.

Baird walked up to Veronica and held out his hand, and Veronica saw him and gently shook it.

Although Baird was wearing white gloves, one could still feel his slender fingers and strong palms.

Although Baird is an 80-year-old man, he is still in good health when observed closely.

I believe that the body hidden under the suit must have been trained daily, and the muscular lines on his forearms and the triceps on his upper arms are proof of this.

Veronica had some guesses about this in her mind, but she still kept a smile on her face.

"Excuse me, where did Miss Veronica work before?" Baird released his hand, pulled out a chair and sat down, pouring himself a cup of black tea without any hesitation.

"Royal Prussian Polytechnic Institute."

Veronica spoke her prepared speech.

Baird nodded upon hearing this. "No wonder he could give such a brilliant answer. It turns out he is a graduate of the academy. That makes sense."

"Butler Baird, thank you. Veronica is just thinking about the problem from other people's perspectives, and then she came to the conclusion after thinking from their perspective."

Veronica responded with a smile.

"Miss Veronica is too modest. Since you graduated from the Prussian Royal Vocational and Technical College, how is Madam Sharon now?"

Baird asked Veronica with a gleam in his eyes.

Veronica's eyebrows turned, and she felt a little troubled.

“How should I answer this question?”

Under Baird's gaze, Veronica had no choice but to nod.

Seeing Veronica's slightly guilty expression, Baird did not expose her on the spot but laughed and took a sip of the teacup.

"Okay, Miss Veronica. A servant will come to measure you in a while. You can just follow me and observe Mr. Eugene's life for a few days. When the custom-made clothes are ready, they will be delivered to you. Then you will officially start serving Mr. Eugene."

After Baird finished speaking, he stood up and left the room.

He opened the door and walked out, but with a hint of sneer on his face, as if he had seen through Veronica's disguise.

Veronica was the only one left in the room, thinking about the problem anxiously. She had already sensed Baird's temptation, but she didn't know whether her identity had been exposed.

Several servants walked into the room one after another and said to Veronica who was in a daze at the door,

"Ms. Veronica, this way please."

Veronica seemed not to hear the servants' shouts, and was still thinking about Baird's question with her head down.

An older maid walked up to Veronica and patted her shoulder gently.

"Ms. Veronica, please move over and come with us to the side for measurement."

"Oh, okay. Thank you, and please take care of me in the coming days."

Veronica came out of her thoughts and responded politely.

"We need Miss Veronica to take good care of us."

The maid, who was about 45 years old and had a bloated figure, smiled and complimented Veronica.

Veronica followed the instructions and walked to the dressing room next door.

"My name is Paulette, and I have been serving Mr. Eugene in his house for ten years. But I know I don't have the ability to be a personal maid. I really envy you, Miss Veronica. Looking at your fair skin and slender waist, it's no wonder that Mr. Eugene took a fancy to you at first sight."

The older maid said as she undressed Veronica.

Before Veronica could respond, Paulette continued to flatter her.

"Look at this graceful figure. If Mr. Eugene takes a fancy to you, you will become Mrs. Einstadt."

Veronica let Pollitt play with her and cooperated with Pollitt to measure the values of various parts of her body.

"Ms. Pollitt, can you tell me about the affairs of the house?"

Veronica asked Paulette, who was more talkative and obviously trying to please her.

“There’s nothing to ask about this. Butler Baird is very experienced in handling housework. He usually prepares a schedule every week and sends it to each department, so there won’t be any problems if you follow the schedule.

Some things may need to be changed temporarily, for example, Mr. Eugene's bathing time is irregular, so you can prepare toiletries in the bathroom in advance.

Once Mr. Eugene is absorbed in his work, he may forget his schedule for the day, so as a personal maid, it is best for you to confirm Mr. Eugene's schedule with Butler Baird, which may reduce your workload."

Then, in response to Veronica's various questions, Pollitt kindly answered Veronica's questions about the Einstar family, including details such as Eugene's eating habits.

This saved Veronica a lot of time in collecting information, and the subsequent work would be much easier.
