Dotingly

The three butlers look at each other. Some items are noble because they are rare.

But some items are also rare because they are expensive.

There are three butlers that frequently shop in Xavier store.

One is butler Arwin who is also a Manager in the Auction house.

Two is butler Jonas who is a butler of a restaurant owner of the largest restaurant in town who is also a relative of the Governor.

Lastly is butler Eric who is a butler of the Royen Family, the wealthiest family in the South. Their main business is mining. Though the Royen Family are known all over the country as the best supplier of the circulating jewelries in the kingdom, they chose to stay low keyed in a far corner of the Southern Province.

With great master’s they also need talent and foresight to keep entertaining their masters.

Xavier is a man that can show them so many interesting things.

Xavier smiles seeing the profound look of the three butlers.

After giving them their items they all left.

Xavier sold them a lot.

He sighs.

“I am already taking so much initiative. Is there really nobody taking the bait?” He felt a bit frustrated as he folded his arms.

It’s not all about money why he keeps taking good care of these three butlers. What he wants most is the power behind them.

What he doesn’t lack is items. But what he doesn’t have is powerful support.

He still has to take things slowly if he has no backer afterall.

He has a lot of money anyways. He doesn't need to rush. But he just doesn’t understand why he hasn’t attracted any big powerhouse yet. Don’t they understand the power of instant food? The power of white sugar?

He looks at butler Arwin even more. He talked about cooperation with his young master but it’s been days since then. Did he forget?

“Calm down,myself. You just showed the lighter,ballpoint pen and canvas tote bag now. It’s not that we aren’t interesting.”

He said, patting his shoulder.

Arianne giggles looking at him.

“Your brother said I should get more cup noodles.”

“I’ll help you.”

Arianne giggles and takes the box away.

“They aren’t even heavy!” She said and ran away.

“Beautiful girls are really even better when they are smiling.”

He puts the cover on the cow carriage.

When he turns around, he saw the beautiful girl from before hiding in the tree spying his brother.

“???”

He walks on the other side so they won’t see him.

“Is it him?”

“Young miss, it was someone else that looked like him.”

“Oh..Why is it not him?”

The young miss stomped on her feet.

The woman beside her is probably her maid.

Her question is funny. It seems it wasn’t just his brother Harvey who left an impression on the others.

He folded his arms and smirked.

“Are you looking for someone?” He said, appearing behind them.

The two ladies shriek.

“Oh…I’m sorry for startling you.” He apologized immediately.

“You are a very rude man!” The lady angrily said using her fan to hide her embarrassed face.

“I was just wondering why you two are hiding here. Do you want some hot noodle soup? It will warm you up.”

“Hm…What about the guy yesterday? Did you fire him for some reason?” She asked.

“Oh no. That is my second brother. He is helping in the farm today so our eldest brother came to help in our store. Do you know my second brother?” He asks, pretending he forgot about her.

It was alright to tease his elder brother but it was bad to do that to an unwed lady.

“No. I just bought something from him and he kinda made a mistake. I’m afraid he will be fired and just wondered what happened. If he is alright then I’ll go first.” The lady turned around so fast, not waiting for Xavier to reply.

The maid bows a little apologizing then run after her lady.

Xavier rubs his chin.

“Hm…Interesting.”

When Xavier sat down in his small chair. He sees Gerald looking at him stealthily with a smile.

“???”

They didn’t sell everything but Xavier already earned a lot through the butlers.

When they are packing up, Xavier can’t take it anymore.

“Big brother, why are you smiling at me like that?”

“Huh? What?”

“Don’t think I don’t see you looking at me like a doting mother. Tell me the truth.”

“Nothing. I just saw you talking to this young lady behind our cart and I was thinking spring has finally come to you too.”

“.....that girl is the one I told you about Brother Harvey. She is also here looking if her brother got fired from his job. I think it wasn’t as one-sided as I thought.” He chuckles.

“Oh…Don’t tease your brother Harvey so much. He might look unaffected but he has never had any interaction with the opposite sex. If you pressure him too much, he might mess up more.”

Xavier laughs again.

“I won’t tease him so much. But since the lady seems interested too I’ll just boost a bit of his ego.”

The three went to the restaurant to eat.

Arianne was confused why they stopped here. It’s not late yet. They can eat at home. Restaurants are not too expensive in this area but also not cheap.

She thought Xavier wanted to treat her but she refused.

“Sister-in-law, don’t worry so much. Didn't  brother tell you about our family planning to open a fast food restaurant? Tasting a competition restaurant in advance is not only for eating but for food tasting.” Xavier said seriously. Whispering using a mysterious voice to make him more believable.

Arianne finds whatever Xavier says believable since Gerald and their family trust him to make decisions. Plus she herself sees he is not only capable but easy to get along with.

Gerald looks at his future wife determined to do her best to help.

When Gerald and Xavier's eyes meet, Xavier grins naughtily.

He just chuckled.

They ask to sit on the second floor in a private room.

“Xavier.” Arianne's eyes widened.

Xavier whispers again.

“Sister-in-law, we have to eat in a private room. We will be buying a lot of food after all. If others see this they will realize we have plenty of money.”

“We will order alot?”

“Of course. We have a taste test and we can’t be sure what ingredient they use in just a couple of bites. Won’t we be losing money if we don’t find out the recipe?”

“Well..”

“Sister-in-law, I will rely on you. I am also good at cooking but I am not great at recognizing food flavors in a dish.”

“Don’t worry. I will help.” Arianne smiles.

Gerald lips are twitching.

If they will really be taste testing won’t bringing their mother and Cheska also needed? But it wasn’t like he didn't understand. If you don’t coax Arianne like this she will be embarrassed to eat a few mouthfuls.

Arianne tugs him.

“You should help too.”

“Alright.” He dotingly rubs her head.
