Chapter 148 The emergency meeting (1/2)

The butler took his seat at the head of the table. The rest of the servants found their own seat around the table. Their face was grim.

”Quiet,” the butler ordered.

The chattering and whispering ceased. Everyone looked at him worriedly.

He sighed.

”What should we do now?” Lela asked agitatedly. She could not believe what her brother just told her.

In fact, this emergency meeting, one after years last held was held just after they received the news of what Miss Catherine had been doing outside these past two days.

How could Miss Catherine do this to them?

”Stay calm. If we are too nervous and impatience, nothing can be done,” the Cook said suddenly. She took her seat on the right side of the butler being the vice president of the Long servants union.

The Long family actually created the union for them and they could discuss whatever their problem is with their president, the butler and their vice-president, the cook. And both would either solve it for them or bring it to the Long's family's attention.

And it had been years they had this emergency meeting. The last, if they were not mistaken, when Young Master Long broke up and Young Mistress under depression. Their meeting was even joined by the Long elders, on how to help the siblings getting better.

Right now, the meeting was only among the servants and their most important mission; how to stop Miss Catherine from moving out!

”Has she chosen the house yet?” the butler looked at the siblings.

”I'm not sure. Big brother only said she kept going from one house to another. He is trying to get more information from the agent company,” Lily said with her twin sister, Lela nodded.

Their big brother was actually working outside, being the runner of the elder's company. The twins worked in the house. The arrangement was quite nice for the siblings because Eric had become the servants' eyes and ears outside, investigating whatever they needed when they felt the siblings were having obstacle but too prideful to share with their parents. Being the servants of the Longs, it was their job to help the family lessen their trouble.

And they took pride in it.

”Should we inform the elders?” one of the maids asked. She was in charge of the kitchen, helping the Cook with washing the dishes and preparing the ingredients. The Cook put a lot of emphasize on her, preparing to teach her more recipes.

”No need. We don't have to involve the elders... yet. We also won't tell the Young Master and Young Mistress,” the butler said firmly.

”Then, how can we help them?”

”Let me think. Cook, think of something,” the butler stood up and paced around the room.

The other maids followed suit, pacing around the room.

Only the Cook stayed on her chair, watching them quietly.

”I can't think of anything,” the butler groaned loudly.

What could they do to stop Miss Catherine from moving out of this mansion? Young Master and Young Mistress would not like it... and they would not like it too.

”Why don't...”

Everyone looked at the Cook when she started to speak.

”Yes?”

”Why don't we put her in the same bed as Young Master. They were after all ex-lovers so they used to sleep together, right?” the Cook suggested.

”But they did not get married the last time,” Lily cried unhappily.

”Well...” the butler pursed his lips a bit, ”It is a good idea...”

”Of course,” the Cook stuck up her nose proudly. ”Now with their age, if Madam and Elder Madam knew they shared the same bed together...”

The servants' eyes widened. Their eyes turned into stars as their brain comprehended what the Cook meant.

Madam and Elder Madam always complained Young Master Jeremy deliberately trying to push them to an ly grave with his refusal to find a new girlfriend. Of course, they all knew, even their Madam and Elder Madam knew why. But the Madam and Elder Madam could not help from wishing a baby's cry would filling the huge mansion.

They did not think much about Mika's marriage, knowing their in-laws would 'conquer' their grandchild's time. One thing they were happy about Jason was that his family still accepted her with open arms despite Mika's being diagnosed with depression. Jason's family even pampered Mika so much that sometimes they could not see their own daughter during holiday, as Jason's family brought her along during their holiday trip, much to their own distress.

”I'll prepare the food,” the Cook announced loudly and called for her minion to follow her to the kitchen.

”Two of you are in charge of turning the dining room into a romantic place. Look for information in the internet,” the butler appointed two girls. Then, he turned to the gardener, ”Find something to create the atmosphere.”
