"Sure," he nodded without hesitation. Sebastian could tell that she was tired so he was willing to comply if she wanted to head home.
Upon arriving home at two in the afternoon, however, Sabrina was not greeted by Aunt Lewis's steaming stew as she was expected. This was usually that time when Aunt Lewis would be cleaning the house, but she was nowhere to be found.
They immediately called Aunt Lewis, only to find out that she was at the amusement park with their little princess Aino.
"Master Sebastian..." Aunt Lewis was taken by surprise when she got the call from Sebastian and explained hastily, "I...I had no idea that you would be coming home for lunch this afternoon. You...you did not mention anything, you see. Assistant Yates was very certain that you and Mrs. Ford will not be coming home for lunch, so he called me over to keep the little princess company. He said there had to be a woman around to take the little princess to the ladies' room whenever she needed."
"Fine, keep Aino company then," said Sebastian in a casual tone. He then called Kingston after hanging up.
When Kingston received the call from Sebastian, he was helping Aino down a high spiral slide. "Master Sebastian," he answered the call cheerfully, confident
that he had done the right thing. "How is it? I think I did good, didn't I? Aren't you thankful that I'm this considerate? I knew you would be out the entire day. Not only can you take the time to teach Mrs. Ford how to drive, but the two of you could also..."
Sebastian interrupted him before he could finish and said, "Find a cook so that Aunt Lewis can take shifts and rest."
"Yes, Master Sebastian! I will have that arranged right away. Though...how much do you intend on paying for the cook?" 1
"The cook's salary will be deducted directly from your pay, so decide for yourself!" Sebastian deadpanned.
Kingston was stunned and before he could respond, Sebastian had already hung up.
