“Can Mr. York adjust to the winter here? I heard that winters in Wiltspoon are not harsh.”

In fact, the winter throughout G Province is generally mild. While some areas near the borders of other provinces can experience colder temperatures, Wiltspoon remains relatively warm.

“Fortunately, I haven’t spent much time outdoors, so I don’t feel cold,” he replied.

The hotel provided heating, which kept him comfortable.

Inside his hotel room, a long-sleeved shirt was sufficient; he didn’t even need a jacket.

Aside from the courtyard, all areas of the Ormond family’s manor were heated and cozy.

As he was applying for a position as a chef, his work would naturally take place in the kitchen, which is indoors. Even if the temperature outside drops below minus ten degrees, the kitchen remains warm.

During busy times, he might even find himself getting hot and sweaty.

The butler remarked, “Is it truly not cold in winter in Wiltspoon? I’ve never been to Province G. All I know is that Province G is quite affluent and Wiltspoon is a major city.”

Tatum replied kindly, “Compared to your experiences, it’s relatively warm here. For us, it feels chilly when the temperature drops even slightly. Wealth and poverty exist everywhere; even in a prosperous province, there are remote areas and villages with less favorable conditions.”

The butler smiled and chose not to pursue the topic further, as it was nearly time to return to Ormond’s manor—in about ten minutes.

The butler led Tatum to a two-story building adjacent to the main house and stopped at the door of a room on the second floor. He unlocked the door with a key and opened it, saying, “Mr. York, you can stay here for the night. If you pass tomorrow’s retest, this will be your dormitory.”

The previous occupant had replaced all the items inside with new ones before leaving. You can check it out later to see if everything meets your standards.

Is there anything missing? If so, please let me know, and I will arrange for someone to deliver it to you.”

Ormond’s employees who needed to work indoors reside in the two-story dormitory located near the main floor.

Workers who tended to the front and back yards lived further away since they did not need access to the house, allowing them to be more distanced from the main building.

In the main house, only two butlers lived with the master’s family. “Thank you, Uncle Joly.”

The butler, Uncle Joly, was middle-aged and the son of a former butler. He grew up in the Ormond household and later took over his father’s position, earning the trust of his master.

Uncle Joly was also loyal to the Ormond family and could rival Uncle Sam from Wildridge Manor.

The other butler was a woman, slightly younger than Uncle Joly. She primarily organizes work for the maids in the house and has been with the Ormond family for ten years, earning the affection of Mrs. Ouyang, Elora’s biological mother.

Elora, the head of the family, relied heavily on Uncle Joly. After all, he had witnessed their upbringing within the Ormond family and remained fiercely loyal to them.

“You should rest first. Would you like to cook dinner yourself or have it delivered? If you prefer to cook, feel free to head to the kitchen and gather some ingredients. The kitchen is well-stocked with utensils. If you’d rather not cook, just sign up with a name, and your dinner will be prepared in the kitchen. When it’s time,

“Someone will either bring it to you, or you can go to the cafeteria to eat it yourself.”

The management at the manor was not much different from that at Speen. The main distinction was that the Ormond family enforced more rules and stricter control. To read the latest chapter of this novel, visit owlstorynest.

Grandma May was approachable and did not impose strict rules like those at Wildridge; her management style was much more relaxed compared to the Ormond family. To read the latest chapter of this novel, visit owlstorynest.

Tatum said, “It’s just one and a half meals. I won’t cook it. I’ll find the canteen and eat dinner by myself.” To read the latest chapter of this novel, visit owlstorynest.

Uncle Joly replied, “You can locate it after you step outside and look for the road signs.” “Okay, thank you, Uncle Joly.”

Uncle Joly smiled and added, “Mr. York, I hope we have the chance to become colleagues.” “Absolutely!” Tatum responded confidently.

Elora was able to enjoy the snacks he was least skilled at preparing, let alone the dishes he excelled at cooking.
