Volume 3 Chapter 83 - How are you treating her? (1/2)

Seveni’s arrival caused a stir in the Falling Star Manor.

Xu Yi didn’t have a habit of hiring servants, so up to this point, there were only Liz and Linda who he had brought back from the Stantine Duchy that had taken care of the manor. Because Vivian spent most of her time at school, she didn’t take care of this at all.

To entertain Seveni now, Liz and Linda did everything they could. They took out the best things to welcome her, so naturally they were busy.

Seeing the two maids moving around and even seeing Still doing a few things for Xu Yi, Seveni couldn’t help shaking her head as she said to Still, “I know that Xu Yi doesn’t like treating others as slaves, but why there’s no problem if he hires a few servants, right? You are pregnant right now, why doesn’t he find a few more people to take care of you? He can’t be that stingy, right?”

Still was in her third month of pregnancy, so her stomach was sticking out a little. She touched her belly when she heard this and replied with a smile, “This was my idea since I don’t like having too many people around, it’s too noisy. Liz and Linda have been here rather long, so Xu Yi and I both treat them like family. If we find some people we’re not familiar with, I wouldn’t be used to it.”

“You wouldn’t feel assured?” Seveni asked, “If you’re worried about this, I can find several people for you who are definitely trustworthy. Moreover, they would be experienced with dealing with pregnant women, so you would be more assured.”

“Many thanks for your highness’ goodwill, but forget it. I feel it’s quite good now.”

Seeing that Still was determined, Seveni didn’t insist. She then began asking Still about the condition of her body.

Seeing the two talking to each other and becoming more and more excited by the conversation, Xu Yi didn’t just stay on the side and went to help Liz and Linda.

When dinner was almost ready, Vivian came back from school and she came back together with Teresa.

Seeing Vivian, Xu Yi suddenly remembered something. There was another wave of graduates from Baron Rickto Magic Academy last month and quite a few of them had accepted the special assistance fund the Frestech Chamber of Commerce provided. So according to their contracts, many of these graduates would be entering the Frestech Chamber of Commerce after graduating.

Other than a few students that had no talent and had limited room for growth and some students that needed money, so they entered the factory to imprint Magic Arrays, most of the students had been enrolled by Xu Yi into the new Frestech Academy for further education.

For example, Orin Zetaman who had left a deep impression on Xu Yi had asked him about the requirements for studying at the Frestech Academy. Right now his performance at the academy was very good.

Xu Yi wanted to ask how the students were feeling about this arrangement.

Because Xu Yi was the chairman, he couldn’t obtain a real answer from the students. Vivian was a student at Baron Rickto Magic Academy and was in contact with these students more, so she should be able to get a real answer.

“They are all very satisfied.” Hearing Xu Yi’s question, Vivian replied with a natural look, “I’ve asked many people. They said that they are all very happy learning the new knowledge from the Frestech Academy.”

“That’s good.” Xu Yi relaxed before turning to Teresa, “Teresa, then how do you feel about working in the magic research facility?”

Compared to when Xu Yi had saved her, the current Teresa was much better. Although she was still silent most of the time, at least she would reveal a smile when Xu Yi asked her a question.

“It’s very good.” Teresa gave a nod, “The colleagues at the research facility are all very good to me. The work is very fun and researching magic machines is very interesting, so I like it very much.”

“Is that so? It’s good that you’re happy.” Xu Yi hesitated a bit before giving up the idea of asking Teresa about the things she was hiding in her heart.

She wasn’t willing to disclose these matters, so it wasn’t a good thing to press her for an answer.

After dinner was prepared, Seveni saw Teresa at the table for the first time and couldn’t help asking her a few questions. However, Teresa was very silent with unfamiliar people, so she either nodded or shook her head to Seveni’s questions. She only answered with reluctant un when she did answer, so Seveni naturally felt there was no meaning in asking anything else, so she turned back to talk to Still.

But when she was leaving after eating dinner, Seveni specially called Xu Yi to the side.

“Xu Yi, what is going on with that Teresa?”

“What do you mean?” Xu Yi was surprised, “Didn’t you ask just now? I saved her when she fainted on the side of the road in the middle of the night.”

“I’m not asking this.” Seveni shook her head, “I want to ask, how are you treating her?”

“How else……She has no family right now and since I saved her, I’ll help her to the end. Right now she’s working at our Frestech Chamber of Commerce and normally lives in the Falling Star Manor, there’s nothing else.”

“You really haven’t thought about anything else?” Seveni slightly knit her brows, “She’s very beautiful.”

“She is, but so what?” Xu Yi asked in a confused voice.

Seveni seriously looked at Xu Yi’s expression for a bit before suddenly laughing. She waved her hand and said, “Alright, I was worrying too much. Our chairman Xu’s mind should be filled with ice cold magic machines and don’t have time to think about other strange things, am I right?”
