Joyce glanced at Marina in surprise. She smiled and said, "No problem. Thank you, Mr. Blake."
When she hung up the phone, Marina asked anxiously, "What did the director tell you?!"
"Just told me I passed the audition." Joyce smiled lightly, "What a shame. You didn't make it through the audition."
"No, it's impossible! You must lie! I'm going to find Eden! He promised me..." Marina's face was full of disbelief. The next moment, she turned around eagerly and ran away.
Joyce did not expect that Patrick would inform her so quickly. It seemed that something must have happened just now.
Joyce was not interested in knowing what had happened. She had something more important to do now.
Since she passed the audition, she had to leave Fragrant Garden Villa and move into the crew during the filming. She had to solve Daniel's problems first before entering the crew. Otherwise, Daniel must have suffered a lot of bullying while she was away filming.
It was evening when Joyce returned to Fragrant Garden Villa. When she arrived in the living room, she saw a group of maids standing in the hall.
"Uh..." Joyce was somewhat surprised, "what's going on?"
The leading servant said seriously, "Miss Willard, we want to resign. Butler said it needs your approval. He can't make the decision."
Joyce laughed out loud. Were they threatening her by planning to resign? She didn't bother to know that the butler had instigated them to come.
The butler was already suspicious that she was not Joyce herself. He should have been more cautious. But he still used these childish tactics to deal with her. He was underestimating her!
This kind of clumsy trick could only embarrass simple girls. It was easy for Joyce to solve such problems.
She had long been thinking about what reasonable reasons she could use to fire these people. She did not expect these people would voluntarily resign.
"Okay, I see," Joyce nodded and said with a serious face, "Then wish you a smooth journey."
What?
Those maids were all stunned. Did they hear it right? Joyce agreed to their resignation?! Normally, Joyce would have panicked and asked them why they were leaving. After Joyce retained them, they made a series of demands. Finally, they reluctantly stayed.
But why did Joyce not follow the rules at all! She ruined their original plan.
The lead maid said, "Miss Willard, the Stowes has been kind to us. We would love to take care of the young master. But we are all heartbroken about what happened yesterday. We don't want to work in an environment where we can be stigmatized and dismissed at any time! "
"I see," Joyce nodded and smiled sweetly, "Congratulations, you won't have this trouble in the future. I hope you will find a suitable employer soon."
Those maids panicked instantly. They just wanted to threaten Joyce. They didn't want to resign! No one thought that Joyce would agree!
"But...Miss Willard." One of the servants said anxiously, "If we are all gone, what about the young master? Who will clean the villa and cook for the young master?"
"You don't have to worry about it. You should think more about yourself. You are all unemployed, aren't you?" Joyce answered.
The maids almost got a heart attack. They finally understood what the butler was feeling before.
The maids were now in a very awkward position. The maid who took the lead gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Willard, You have no right to make decisions. We only endorse the conclusions of the butler! "
Joyce sneered. Were they regretting it now? Unfortunately, it was too late.
"You said that the butler couldn't make a decision and asked you to come to me?" Joyce waved his hand, "Don't worry. I said you could leave now!"
Everyone fell into silence. They were utterly panicked this time and suddenly realized that the butler and Daniel had come into the living room at some point. Everyone rushed to Daniel's side for help.
"Master, you have seen it all." Several maids said with righteous indignation, "Miss Willard doesn't care about you! This woman doesn't deserve to stay by your side!"
Daniel looked at them in surprise, "Didn't you resign voluntarily?"
"Yeah," Joyce giggled and chuckled, "They asked me, and I agreed. Why are you now blaming me instead?"
Everyone was speechless for a while and immediately embarrassed and angry.
The butler coughed twice and said in a deep voice, "You resigned too suddenly. This matter is important. We'd better inform Mrs. Stowe and let her decide."
Aware of the butler's provocative gaze, Joyce smiled slightly, "Okay." It was also time for her to let Mrs. Stowe Sr. know.
Bob snorted coldly and quickly contacted Mrs. Stowe Sr.
Although they were far away in Los Angeles, Bob had to report Daniel's situation to Mrs. Stowe Sr. through video every week. A videophone was installed in the living room, and it was connected to a large screen in the living room.
Mrs. Stowe Sr. quickly connected the video call, and Joyce finally saw the legendary Mrs. Stowe Sr. through the screen in the living room.
Her temples were white, but she was full of energy. Those bright eyes were highly sharp as if they could read people's minds.
Daniel's grandma's eyes were gentle when she saw him. She quickly moved her gaze away and finally rested on Joyce. Daniel's grandma must know Joyce. She looked at Joyce with a slightly serious look.
Bob began to report the situation of the two days to Mrs. Stowe Sr., Even though Daniel was there. The butler blamed Joyce for every word. He blamed even the resignation of these maids on Joyce.
After hearing Bob's words, Mrs. Stowe Sr. looked at Joyce deeply, "Why did you fire these maids?"
