Love Journal - As Told By An Emotionally Constipated Half-Genius

Chapter 113 - [Bonus] Rehabilitation

The examinations were finally over but for the Wilde Family, there was no time for rest. Scarlet was finally going to remove her dreaded cast and everyone wanted to go to the hospital appointment with her.

"I should be going with the young miss," Tina asserted. Sue didn't agree.

"Don't you have to go grocery shopping tomorrow? I'm sure it's written on the roster list.

Claire was expressionless as usual but nobody doubted it for a second that the head maid will try to put laxatives in the driver's drink tomorrow so that she can take his place and go along with Scarlet. Wilmer had already banned the other two children from following because it was going to be another regular school day. Scarlet also had strict orders from the CEO to return home as soon as the cast was removed. Everyone knew that the orders were strict because Wilmer himself was not allowed to take a day off to accompany Scarlet. Carol wouldn't allow it. Her words were 'it is not a family emergency, you cannot cancel meetings so easily'.

That left only the maids to debate who could go with Scarlet while the young mistress was occupied with Debbie's lessons. Tina and Sue were fighting over it and eventually decided to settle it with a game of three-player mahjong. Claire didn't back down from the challenge because she was the head maid and was confident of winning a simple game even if she had never played it before.

Tina and Sue were veteran mahjong players. With their pride on the line, neither of them went easy on each other. Deceit, lies and manipulation were used without care. Claire soon learnt that winning through conventional means wasn't enough. She started to play the underhand methods and often counted on cheating to turn the odds into her favour. Learning that Claire was not an easy opponent to deal with, Tina and Sue worked hard to bring her down. Alas, none of the veterans could compare to the head maid's experience when it came to strategy and tactics.

"With that, I shall accompany Ms Scarlet for her appointment tomorrow," Claire told the disappointed helpers.

Tina cheered up quickly."Understood. I shall prepare some nutritious meals for her when she returns."

Sue offered to help and Claire smiled. Peace was returned to the Wilde household once more when Scarlet finished her lessons.
