The Rhyme of the Depositary

061 - SEASON 2

Alice returned with uncontrollable emotions. His encounter with Maxen made his blood pressure rise. He must be smart to hold back so that his emotions do not get out of control. Lucky this afternoon he didn't slap Maxen for his words. Alice must congratulate herself for successfully acting 'full of ethics' in the face of Maxen.

Upon Alice's return home, a servant named Sila, a new cook and a trusted person welcomed her arrival.

"Mistress, half an hour ago Mrs. Liecester called to connect Axel's call with you, but I said it because you haven't come home yet. He told me if you'd been home, you'd be asked to call him!" Please convey the Violin politely.

The waiter was a bit formal, much different from Susan and Helena.

Remembering Susan made Alice inflamed again. He did not want to remember the figure back. Especially after he met Maxen who brought a lot of misfortune today. His mood was really bad if it were to be inserted about the two of them.

"alright. I'll call Violin back."

"Good, Miss." The waiter turned away with quick steps.

Sila is a waiter who is still quite young. Twenty-five years. But he has served the Anson family for more than seven years. Not a moment. He also memorized the system that prevailed in the Mallory family so Alice decided she deserved to be Susan's replacement. The cook and the butler special to the woman.

Please be a sweet girl. She is a native of Texas and grew up in Manhattan since she was ten years old. It was financial circumstances that made him choose to be a servant.

Sila's figure is quite flexible with a calm nature. He was no more than one hundred and sixty centi in ideal body shape. Her hair was copper red, slightly similar to Alice's. How to speak politely with perfect manners. His work is also good. Making Alice feel Sila was a valuable asset. If the woman's performance is satisfactory, Alice will consider raising her salary later this month.

Alice grabbed the phone sitting in the middle room and pressed a few buttons. He was silent for a moment listening to the voice of the connection on the phone that started to sound.

"Hello?" Violin's cold voice greeted Alice's sense of hearing.

Alice felt her mood getting worse. He was dealing with Maxen, now Violin. Can't today be worse?

"Violin. It's Alice. I heard from the waiter you called here." Alice touched one of her temples, massaging it slowly. His face was exhausted.

"Yes. Axel wants to talk to you. Axeelll sayanng, come here! It's Mom!" The scream of Violin calling out to her granddaughter rang out in Alice's ears. Alice instantly kept the phone off her ear and closed her eyes. This woman I closed could scream too.

"Hello Mommy? Hello Mom? You there, Mom?" A familiar child's voice greeted Alice in a very enthusiastic tone.

The corner of Alice's lips flickered, forming a very charming smile. His son finally remembered to greet him. Alice's longing was already very great. He needed this child to pour out the affection he had.

"Darling, did you miss Mom?" Alice laughed, happy.

"I miss Mom very much. Very! Very!" Axel answered quickly with a typical tone of children.

"What are you doing in Grandma's house? You're good in there, aren't you?" alice asked trying to remind me.

Axel laughed crisply before finally answering his mother's question. Alice could imagine Axel's pinched face with eyes sparkling with pleasure. The dimples of her cheeks popped up whenever Axel laughed happily. Reminds Alice of Anson.

"Grandma invited me to play in the time zone, took me to eat at a nice restaurant, bought me a great and super toy. I have the most advanced remote-controlled robots. I also have a large toy plane that can fly high only with an automatic controller. The plane will swerve in the air like a real thing, Mom. The color is combined white, red, and black. And you know what, Mom? the man and woman who he said were uncle and aunty, gave me many other advanced toys. I'll send you the video later. Just wait, Mom!" Axel gasped for breath after he finished telling what he got. The boy laughed and took a breath simultaneously, making him choke and cough.

Goody. The Liecester family indulged Axel in an exaggerated manner as Alice had worried before. Not that Alice objected if her child was given affection, only if she was too pampered and given all the things she asked for, it would definitely affect her personality later.

However, Violin seems to be too crazy about Axel that he even wants to offer a little paradise for his son.

"Axel, listen to Mom!" Violin set her tone to sound serious. This seems to be quite successful as evidenced by Klayver's laughter that is no longer heard.

"What's up, Mom?" asked Axel feeling worried. Somehow, the boy caught no wrong tone from his mother. Could Axel have made a mistake?

"Mom doesn't forbid you from receiving toys from Grandma, Uncle, or aunty. Just, please don't overdo it. Do you remember what Mom told you? Something that is bought too much will not bring benefits. We can only ask according to our needs. You hear Mom, honey? Next time Grandma wants to buy you something, just buy a toy or two, okay?"

Patiently, Alice explained this to her son. There was a soft sigh from Axel, as if he was reluctant to follow what Alice suggested.

It is not easy to form the character of children well as we want. Everything needs a fight. Alice would never give up. He tried to tell his son slowly so as not to commit waste later on.

Although Alice is currently more than able to buy many things for Axel, but he is principled that all things must have their own portion. That is how life is formed.

"Mom, then what about all the games I've got here? You didn't tell me to throw it away, did you?" Axel asked worriedly. Imagining his advanced plane and his great robot being thrown away is the most terrifying thing that such a small child could imagine.

"No! You don't have to throw it away. You can bring everything back here. Tomorrow, we're going to choose a portion for us to donate to the charity, how about?" An idea popped into Alice's head. It seemed like introducing Axel to humanity early on was a good move. He can learn to appreciate life and bring out his caring side.

"A charitable institution?" Axel parroted. He's never heard of this before.

"Yes. We're gonna give it to an orphanage where a lot of kids like you don't have toys. They're not as lucky as we are." Alice patiently explained to her son. She smiled slightly, imagining Axel's confused face which definitely looked adorable.

"Oh, okay. I'll remember your words, Mom!" Axel gave up on losing and followed his mother's advice. After all, he was also quite curious about the orphanage described by his mother.

"good. You are Mom's greatest son!" praise Alice proudly. "Be kind to Grandma. Tomorrow Mom will call you again." Alice sent a kiss away and closed the call.

Alice's mood slightly improved after talking to her son. He walked straight into the room and intended to lay down his body for a while before he checked the financial statements again from some of his companies. Earlier this morning his secretary had told him there were several strategic places that would be sold and needed a direct review from him. Later after he sleeps, he will call his secretary again to discuss this. Maybe he should do a location review.

Klayver hasn't come home yet. I don't know what this guy is doing. Hopefully the business that her husband handled went well. For some reason, Alice has been worried about Klayver for no apparent reason lately. I hope it's just paranoid for a moment.

Alice was about to close her eyes when suddenly her phone rang loudly. He saw Daniel's name appear on the main screen. Alice quickly grabbed the phone and accepted it. Alice hoped she would get some good news.

"Yes, Daniel?" Alice opened the conversation.

"Alice, I've arrived in Manhattan. I haven't seen you in a long time. Can we have tea together somewhere? I need to talk directly about my situation right now around Klayver. I need to know if I'm really safe or not. It's hard to believe that if you don't explain this directly!"

Daniel hesitated a little. He's not sure. Right now, Alice was the only grip she had. Alice is the one who can make him understand how Daniel's situation really is. Dealing with Klayver is not easy. There are always risks that we never realize.

"Alright, Daniel. Where are we meeting?" Alice accepted his request. The clock is already quite late afternoon. He should see Daniel soon before nightfall. He hadn't seen Daniel in a long time. What's wrong with having an appointment with an old friend?

Daniel mentioned the name of the caffee not far from Alice's residence. Alice responded and immediately prepared to go there. Quickly, he changed his clothes. A casual dress made from muslin she wears. Her expanding cut made Alice look younger by several years. The color is pale pink, making her white skin look more prominent.
