The woman looked quite similar to Ammy, basically, you could tell she would be Ammy in a few years. The woman looked at Ammy for a few seconds before her eyes showed surprise and doubt. It seemed she had finally noticed us. Soon, the woman's expression of doubt was replaced by one of anxiety.
"Ah, and a pleasure to meet you... I am Ammy's mother. My name is Rose... and a pleasure to meet you"
Said Ammy's mother, looking embarrassed. Every now and then, she would cast glances at Ammy that clearly indicated that she had not been told that she would be bringing friends to the house today. Well, I can't blame her for that since I decided to come here last minute.
"Sorry for showing up suddenly, and that Ammy and a good friend of mine, and I remembered that I had never met your mother. Besides, when Ammy told me that you wanted to meet me too, I thought it would be a good idea to stop by"
I said as I scratched the back of my neck. Hearing my words, Rose looked confused for a few seconds, but soon she seemed to notice who I was.
"Ah, you could be the owner of Orchid Shops?"
Rose asked, looking momentarily surprised. Just like Ammy's mother said, the name of my store changed after I became a noble. I thought it would be better to have a name that refers to my family since that comes with its benefits, of course, and impossible to deny that it also comes with a lot of problems all together, but I decided not to think too much about that for now.
"And a pleasure to meet you, Madam Rose. My name is Ren Orchid Solaris. I recently became a nobleman, thanks to His Highness the king"
I said while extending my hand to Rose. I must say that even though she was surprised a moment ago, the face she made after I spoke my name was quite unusual. I seriously thought she was going to faint in front of me, but thank God nothing like that happened.
"Haaa, I'm sorry about that... and that it was a bit of a shock to hear that a nobleman came to my house along with my daughter"
Said Rose as she regained her breath. After that, she looked at me and bowed her head.
"Anyway, thank you very much for employing my daughter. Although she has no academic knowledge, she is quite intelligent besides knowing a lot about medicine"
Said Rose with a soft smile on her face. Hearing her mother's words, a sad smile formed on Ammy's face. Although I noticed, I decided not to delve too deeply into this as each family had their own problems.
"Oh, please wait a moment. I will prepare some coffee for you, since you have gone to all the trouble of visiting us, that is the least I can do"
Said Rose, getting ready to stand up. However, before she could, Hana stepped forward.
"You don't have to worry about that, ma'am. I'll gladly do it since it's my job"
Said Hana with a professional look on her face. Hearing Hana's words, Rose was momentarily confused but gladly accepted.
"And just like that... well, I thank you then"
Said Rose with a soft smile on her face. After that, Hana walked to the place Rose said was the kitchen and disappeared from everyone's sight. From where we were, some noises of a container being filled with water could be heard. As the rooms were not that far from each other, the sound was quite clear.
"So, you came here to see me. I'm honored by that, but I'm not very interesting"
Said Rose. Hearing her words, I started to think about my next words. It's not like I came here with some plan or some purpose in mind, but since I'm here anyway.
"It's not like I came here with any purpose, like I said earlier, Ammy is a good friend of mine, and I thought it would be nice to meet her"
I said with a soft smile on my face.
"By the way, Ammy told me that you can read and write, as well as being good at math"
I said, catching the attention of Rose, who was looking at me with doubt in her eyes.
"Well... that's true, but..."
Said Rose, looking embarrassed for some reason. Still, her answer was quite satisfying.
"Rebecca, can you show her that?"
As soon as I said that, Rebecca nodded and soon left the house. Ammy and Rose looked confused at what was happening, but quickly Rebecca returned, bringing a large paper in her hands. As soon as she opened the paper on the table, Rose's eyes widened in surprise.
"What is this... and amazing"
Said Rose as she looked at the paper. She also seemed to have a good understanding of what was described and how much profit this could make.
"This and a future project that is currently underway. It is called Shopping, as you can see from the paper; it will have a large expanse of products in one place"
I said with a soft smile on my face.
"This project and amazing. Even I can see the merits it would bring and how much profit it is possible to make"
Said Rose, getting more and more impressed.
"Well... thanks for the compliment"
I said, feeling a little embarrassed. How to say, Ammy's mother was quite straightforward.
"Anyway, I am showing you this because I have a proposition for you, Miss Rose. How would you like to work as one of the managers at my Mall?"
I asked as I looked at Rose. Even though I hadn't come here with some plan initially, seeing Ammy's mother really made me want to help her. Besides, she is good at doing math besides being able to read and write. I was simply joining the useful with the pleasant.
