SWNOVELS Chapter 18
Chapter18 The Maid Asked for A Raise
“You don’t have to worry about it as long as you like it.” Zion glanced at Helene apologetically.
The three of them took the elevator to the ground floor.
When passing the basement floor, the elevator door suddenly opened.
The parking lot of tens of thousands of square meters was full of luxury cars.
Zion gasped in shock. It looked like a big luxury car store.
Carlisle had just parked his car and walked towards the elevator. His special elevator for the president was on the right side of the employee elevator.
It stood to reason that the employee elevator could not stop on this floor, but the elevator seemed to be malfunctioning today.
Helene saw someone who seemed about to get on the elevator but turned around suddenly.
At this time, the elevator automatically closed again.
Helene found it a little familiar, but she quickly denied her
guess.
He was the president of the Bamford Group, and Carlisle was certainly no match for him.

The glance just now scared Carlisle into a cold sweat.

He sat in the car and waited for a while before he entered the elevator and went up to the first floor.
At this time, Helene and Zion had already left.
Lavinia couldn’t wait to go to the dressing room to change into the brown suit. She thought she had offended the CEO just now and wanted to give him a good impression when he came out of the basement.
Carlisle walked out of the elevator in a dark blue suit and sunglasses. He walked quickly. His powerful aura attracted the attention of the staff on the first floor.
“The president is here. Hurry up and get ready.”
Eight turnstiles were in front of the elevator, and the first
turnstile was dedicated to Carlisle.
Lavinia came out from the desk and was about to say hello to Carlisle.
Carlisle didn’t even look at her. But when he walked to the
turnstile, he suddenly turned around and stared at her clothes for a long time.
Lavinia thought her clothes were dirty and looked down.
There was nothing wrong with her clothes.
Seeing that another woman wore the clothes he had bought for Helene, he looked gloomy.
He pointed to Lavinia, “Who gave you these clothes?”
Lavinia thought Carlisle liked her suit and said happily, “It’s a

birthday present from my boyfriend.”

“Oh, go back and tell your boyfriend that this suit is good, but it doesn’t suit you. You look particularly pale in it.
When Carlisle returned, to the office, he first asked Mr. Duke to transfer Lavinia to the branch office. She was so annoying.
Ántonia was very unhappy. He didn’t know what was wrong with the president. He had recently had a conflict with the receptionist and changed two in less than a week.
Helene left Bamford Group and went directly to the hospital. She had dinner with her grandma before returning to
Bamford Family.
As soon as she got home, she started to pack her things, planning to go to the hospital to accompany her grandma.
Matilda suddenly knocked on the door and came in, “Miss Lopez, I want to talk to you.”
Helene put down the things in her hands and followed her to the yard, “Go ahead.”
Matilda said with some embarrassment, “I know it’s not appropriate for me to bring it up at this time, but I feel that working here is too tiring, so I want to quit and get a new job with more money and a lighter workload.”
Helene was slightly taken aback.
For a moment, she couldn’t tell whether Matilda wanted to get a raise or she wanted to quit.
“Do you have somewhere to go?”

Matilda shook her head, “I’ve gotten several offers, but I haven’t decided yet.”
Matilda paused, “I’ve worked at Bamford Family for three years and haven’t gotten a raise. I used only to take care of Old Mr. Bamford. Now you and Mr. Bamford have moved here. My workload is too heavy. So can you talk to Mr. Bamford and see if you can give me a raise?”
“How much more do you want?”
“I’ve gotten an offer of 15,000 a month.”
Helene smiled.
“Matilda, do you have a problem with me?”
“What do you mean?”
“Matilda, your memory doesn’t seem to be very good. As soon as I came, you said that I would be responsible for three meals a day in the future. I admit that my attitude was not very good at the time. Later, I got the domestic service contract you signed from Carlisle.
“The service content clearly states that you’re responsible for all housework, including three meals daily. You’re not supposed only to take care of Grandpa. I heard that Carlisle’s aunt’s family lived here then, and there were fewer people
than now.”
Matilda froze.
“Miss Lopez, what you said is true. But before you came, I told Old Mr. Bamford about a raise. Later, he said that he would be a matchmaker for Mr. Bamford, and had someone who could

take care of him to relieve my burden.

“Then you came. Since you agreed to this marriage, I thought you must have agreed to take care of Old Mr. Bamford. So was I wrong to make you responsible for three meals a day? Why did you agree to marry Mr. Bamford if you don’t want to? Did you want the 500,000 and never think of caring for Old Mr. Bamford?”
Hearing Matilda’s complaint, Helene was speechless. She couldn’t refute it but somehow felt something was wrong.
“Is that why you stole my prenuptial agreement and put it in the newspaper to frame me?”
“When did I steal your prenuptial agreement? It’s slander! That morning, you took the newspaper and asked me to hand it to Old Mr. Bamford. Who knew that there was a prenuptial agreement hidden in the newspaper? I didn’t know you and Mr. Bamford had signed that thing.”
“What are you talking about?” As soon as Matilda finished her sentence, Carlisle walked in through the door.
Helene was stunned momentarily and noticed that Carlisle was not in a good mood today, probably because he was tired.
She hurried over, trying to take the bag in his hand, but Carlisle avoided her.
“What did Matilda sound so excited?” Carlisle asked again.
“Matilda thinks our wages are low, so she wants another job.”
“I didn’t say that. Miss Lopez always likes to misinterpret what

I say.” Matilda discredited Helene in front of Carlisle.

“Mr. Bamford, now there are more people in the family, so there is more work to do. She’s supposed to care for older people, but she doesn’t help. So I asked Miss Lopez to give me a raise to make me feel better.”
Carlisle looked at Helene upon hearing this.
“I think what Matilda said is reasonable. You should give her a raise.”
“How much?” Helene got angry when she heard that. Carlisle sounded so casual. If it went up to 15,000 as Matilda wanted, the maid would cost half his monthly salary.
“Matilda can get a raise as she wants.” Ever since Carlisle learned that Helene had given away the clothes, he felt angry.
This woman pretended in front of him that she wanted to save money. But she gave away such expensive clothes to someone else.
What Carlisle cared about was not money. He was unhappy because it was the first time he’d tried to please a woman with his heart, but she didn’t take him seriously.
