The girl with braids was the first to speak: "Sister Holly, Mr. Lin Yu has left?"

"Um."

Will he come again?

"Yes." Holly straightened up from the door panel and walked behind the counter.

She took a deep breath and tapped her fingers twice on the table, as if organizing her thoughts.

"There's something I need to tell you."

The girls quieted down and looked at her.

"From today onwards, you are no longer part of Holly Trading Company."

Holly's voice wasn't loud, but she enunciated each word clearly: "I gave you all to Mr. Lin Yu."

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Then things exploded.

"Mr. Lin Yu? That's the one from earlier—"

"Really? Sister Holly, are you serious?"

"So where are we going next?"

The sounds rose and fell, but there was no fear in any of them.

Instead, they felt a sense of curiosity and excitement.

The girl with braids had bright, sparkling eyes and covered her cheeks with her hands.

"Mr. Lin Yu is so handsome, I'd be willing to be his maid!"

"What are you willing to do? They might not even be interested in you."

"That's still better than you. You didn't even dare to look at her just now."

"I didn't—"

The two girls started bickering, each saying something to the other, neither willing to give in.

Several people nearby covered their mouths and laughed, pushing and shoving each other, their faces turning red.

Holly felt a weight lifted from her shoulders as she watched their reactions.

She was initially worried that the girls would resist and be hurt by the word "transfer".

But now it seems her worries were unnecessary.

"Alright, alright." Holly clapped her hands. "Stop arguing and let me finish."

The girls quieted down.

"Mr. Lin Yu has a manor on the outskirts of Wind Chime Town. You will be living there from now on."

Holly said, "You'll be responsible for cleaning and maintaining the yard. From now on, you'll be her maids and will have to listen to whatever she says."

The girls started talking again, even more excitedly than before.

The girl with braids was the first to break down, covering her face with her hands, her voice leaking out from between her fingers:

"What does 'listen to whatever he says' mean?"

"Just listen to him." Holly glared at her. "Don't get the wrong idea."

"But..." a round-faced girl chimed in, her eyes sparkling:

"Mr. Lin Yu is so handsome... I... I've never been a maid to a man before..."

"Me too..."

"Me too..."

The girls looked at each other, their faces turning red.

Someone lowered their head, twisting their fingers around the hem of their skirt, their toes drawing circles on the floor.

Some people pretended to look at the scenery outside the window, but the faces reflected in the glass were all flushed.

Some people simply buried their faces in their arms and lay on the table, their ear tips glowing bright red.

"Don't overthink it." Holly patted the counter. "She's a proper maid, cleaning and tidying the yard, nothing more."

After saying that, Holly felt a little strange.

After all, she had just repaid Lin Yu's kindness, and she knew best whether Lin Yu was a decent person or not.

These girls will likely also fall prey to Lin Yu's clutches.

But they are all adults, and could even be said to be of age to look for partners.

Holly didn't have much to say either.

Just then, a girl in the corner asked, "What...what if Mr. Lin Yu isn't being proper?"

The hall fell silent for a moment.

"I meant..." The girl quickly waved her hands, her face turning even redder, "I didn't mean that, I just... I just..."
