Chapter 1188
Chapter 1188 "What are those servants for if you need to serve the dish by yourself?"
Cedrick was not persuaded. He took strides toward Catelyn and demanded she to sit in the coach. "Your task is to take a good rest, not to do chores."
Catelyn turned speechless.
"Mr. Mason, please don't fire us. We apologize. We won't leave chores to Mrs. Mason anymore."
"Mr. Mason, please. We need this job."
"Mr. Mason, please."
Those servants begged for pardon one after another. They sobbed out of fear of being driven away.
Feeling embarrassed and guilty, Catelyn grabbed Cedrick to sit by her side. She explained, "It's not their fault. Besides, if to fire them, you need to hire new servants. What if there are problems with the new crew? Cool down, darling. I'm hungry now. Can we have breakfast?"
Hearing Catelyn try her best to change the topic, Cedrick curled his lips. "All right. They can stay, but half of their next month's wages will be taken out as punishment."
Catelyn noticed those servants looking at each other. They didn't know what to say but only with their eyes turning red.
"Cedrick, you are overreacting. They have families to feed. Most importantly, it's no big deal for me to fetch some dishes."
"If you continue to argue, they will lose either half-year wage or the job. You make the choice." Cedrick responded before Catelyn finished.
"Cedrick! Must you be so mean?" Catelyn got him by his collar and questioned angrily.
"Mrs. Mason, please don't. Please let us pay the fine; don't fire us," said those servants quickly.
Cedrick hadn't planned to live in Fidelysia for long.
Therefore, he paid much higher than others even if he halved their wage.
Catelyn stopped arguing after hearing the servants' dissuasion.
