Born to Rule — Episode 8

You think the Hales need your scrap of cash? Good. I was afraid you'd start freeloading dinners. Just then, a maid brought over dessert.

Miss Chloe, your favorite truffle chocolate souffle. And plain pudding for you, Miss Moretti. I'm sure that'll be fine. Why does she get chocolate souffle and I get plain pudding? Miss Chloe has delicate tastes. Mrs. Hale specifically ordered it for her.

Alessia, if you want the same thing, we can have it prepared tomorrow. I nodded, then I turned to the maid. What's your name? Linda.

How long have you worked here? Twelve years. Perfect. Send me your employment contract, salary records, and household expense What do you mean?

Nothing. I just want to know if 12 years of salary paid for this level of service. Alexia, Linda has been with this family for years. Even better. Then she should know how to treat a guest. Alessia, please don't make things difficult for her. She works very hard taking care of

Oh, then I definitely want to see those accounts. She takes care of you, the Hales pay for it, and apparently I'm one of the Hale heirs now. Why is everything about money with you? I thought about it seriously.

Because so far, money is the only thing about this family that's impressed me. The next morning, breakfast arrived right on time.
