In the next few days, Olivia brought an agreement to Karl as she promised, and also paid him that month's salary in advance.
When the 60 pounds was heavy in his hand, Carl felt that the touch was wonderful.
At the same time, she also used her own channels to investigate this matter, and hired detectives and idle personnel to work for them day and night.
But it's a pity that they haven't received any news in this regard after a week.
"Mr. Karl, please wake up."
In early August, Karl woke up from his sleep early in the morning. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was the little maid from before who was holding a basin to wake him up.
Yes, it was the little maid who took them to the guest room on the first night.
Her name is Nina Kirk, a slightly fat English girl who works as a maid here to supplement the family income. She has been arranged by Olivia to become Karl's exclusive servant, and she is responsible for some of Karl's daily chores.
Help with it.
"Thank you for waking me up, Nina."
Karl rubbed his eyes, lazily got up from the bed, took the towel from Nina and washed his face. The water temperature was just right, and then brushed his teeth with a toothbrush that had already squeezed toothpaste.
He had to admit that he liked this kind of leisurely life very much. The days when he could reach out for clothes and open his mouth for food were really corrosive to people's hearts.
He doesn't miss his home in London at all now, which is good.
"By the way, where's Cyril?"
Karl suddenly realized that something was missing around him. Generally speaking, he would see this guy when he got up. Where was she today?
"Miss Seriel went to the study to read early in the morning. If necessary, I can call her for you."
Nina directly told Karl what he wanted to know.
These days, Cyril does go to the study room in the castle to read whenever she has free time. According to her, she needs to supplement her knowledge. The information she collected in the seal is only part of it, so she needs to supplement it.
"Also, Miss Olivia asked me to tell you that you please go to her office before nine o'clock this morning."
"no problem."
Karl put the toiletries back into Nina's hands and nodded to her.
After packing her things, Nina helped Karl put on his clothes before leaving the room.
At first, Karl refused this matter. He felt that he could not even ask for help in getting dressed, and he was not a baby.
But after trying to change into comfortable clothes that had been warmed early in the morning, he still gave in. The weather in London was still quite cold in the morning, and Karl really couldn't refuse this comfortable experience.
When he rushed to the office, the door was open and Olivia was sitting inside working. There were two stacks of documents on the desk in front of her, one on the left and one on the right. She was recording something with a pen in her hand.
.
Olivia, who was working hard, was concentrating on writing with her head down, and didn't even notice Karl coming to the door.
"What do you want from me today?"
Karl knocked on the door with his hand, waking Olivia up from her work.
When she heard the knock on the door, she raised her head and looked.
"It's Karl, you sit down first."
After saying that, she lowered her head again and continued to write.
"Let me talk to you slowly after I finish processing this."
After sorting himself out, Karl sat on the chair in the office, with only the rustle of the pen rubbing against the paper in his ears, and he just waited quietly for Olivia.
About a quarter of an hour later, Olivia threw the pen into the ink bottle, picked up the document she had just written, and sorted it out.
"Did you finish writing?"
Seeing Olivia's appearance, Karl asked.
"Finished writing?"
She smiled self-deprecatingly, casually placed what she had just written on the pile of documents on the left, and then leaned on the desk with her upper body weak.
"It's still early."
"These are just for the morning. Once they are processed, they will be delivered in the afternoon. The company has very few people in charge in London, so I am very busy."
This action of hers caused her chest to be squeezed on the table, revealing a lot of beautiful scenery to Karl, but she didn't seem to care much.
In the past few days, Karl has gotten to know some about Olivia's character and the company's business. Olivia is a very casual girl. After reaching an agreement with Karl, she doesn't mind joking with him or anything else.
But his attitude towards his servants was typical of 19th century capitalists.
As for the British White Star Line, they are mainly responsible for shipbuilding and providing ocean transportation. The current empire that the sun never sets covers an area of nearly one-fifth of the world's total land area. The extremely developed maritime trade can be said to be an important part of the British economic system.
The most important thing.
So even though she was in London rather than their headquarters, Olivia was still responsible for a huge amount of work.
"So why did you call me here? You're not the kind of guy who gets bored when you're idle, are you?"
Looking at the lazy Olivia, Karl asked.
Hearing this question, Olivia, who was crawling on the table, did not get up, but reached under the desk and opened a drawer.
She knew she had touched what she wanted without using her eyes to confirm.
"then."
Olivia took out a document and threw it towards Karl.
Because she didn't stand up at all, her throw was inaccurate, and Karl barely managed to catch it when he stood up from the chair.
"What's this?"
"This is the result of the investigation over the past few days. After all, I don't know how to do it, so I'll take it back to you and have a look. Maybe I can come up with something."
Olivia straightened up and sighed. She took out a new document from the right, then picked up the pen and continued working.
Seeing Olivia's appearance, Karl also knew that he shouldn't disturb her, so he turned around and planned to leave.
But before Karl left the office, Olivia stopped him again.
"By the way, I'm going to a banquet in the city tonight. If you want to go out today, remember to come back at five o'clock in the afternoon. I plan to take you with me."
"Is this a dance partner invitation?"
Olivia, who was still dealing with official duties, didn't even look at Karl.
"What a beautiful idea. Anyone who wants to be my dance partner can line up from here to the Indian Ocean."
"You are nominally part of my entourage, and I plan to introduce you to some of my partners."
"no problem."
After speaking, Karl walked out and closed the office door.
After leaving here, Karl went directly to the study to look for Ceryl. He still needed her help for this matter.
After arriving in the study room, at a glance, he saw Cyril holding up a very thick natural history book and reading. Without saying hello, Karl walked directly to her and handed over the investigation report.
"This is the most recent investigation record. Do you want to see it?"
Seliel closed the heavy book with a snap, inserted it back into the bookshelf, then took the record and read it.
