Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 590 The Unlucky Newcomer

Huh?
After quickly returning to the first floor, the administrator looked at the thin woman wandering outside the duty room with a hesitant look on her face and asked in confusion:
"Ms. Leila? Shouldn't you be helping in the kitchen at Doug's? Why are you back so early?"

"I am sorry……"

Hearing the question from behind, the woman, who was about 26 or 27 years old and wearing an old velvet skirt, suddenly stiffened slightly, then turned around and said with embarrassment:
"I was just... fired by the boss over there..."

"..."

Fired again?

The administrator was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she said helplessly:

"Miss Leila, if I remember correctly, this is the third time you've been fired this week, right?"

"I'm sorry...but I really didn't mean to..."

Facing the kind-hearted man who introduced her to three jobs but she failed three times in a row, the thin woman with coffee stains all over her body could not help but lower her head and explained with shame:

"I ran out of sour cream this morning while I was making borscht, so I went to the pantry to get a new can. But as soon as I turned the doorknob, I saw the chef and Jenny... the waitress in the restaurant, talking... talking..."

“…doing something like that?”

"Um……"

"..."

"And then... I lost my job..."

With the administrator's strange look on her face, the pretty woman covered her burned arm and said bitterly:
“Although I was startled and immediately assured them that I didn’t see anything and wouldn’t say anything, Jenny still… accidentally bumped into me when she was serving coffee to the guests in the afternoon.

Although I helped, the whole pot of hot coffee poured directly onto the heads of the guests at that table. Then the head chef immediately rushed out from the kitchen and cursed at me, saying that I was clumsy in the kitchen and that the ingredients I handled were always less, so Boss Doug sent me back..."

"then you……"

"I was wrongly accused..."

The thin woman said with red eyes:

"I cherish this job very much. I have worked more than ten hours every day for the past two days, and basically completed twice the work of other people. I did not steal food or anything like that. I just packed up some of the guests' leftovers. This was all agreed upon beforehand.

But…but the chef came out to accuse me, and the others didn’t dare to speak for me. He…he was just taking revenge on me for catching him and Jenny. I really didn’t steal anything, please believe me!”

"Leila, don't worry..."

Seeing the thin woman who was almost collapsed, the administrator couldn't help but comfort her gently, and then said helplessly:

"I know what kind of person you are, otherwise I wouldn't keep finding you jobs, but...but why do you always run into this kind of thing?"

After recalling what the thin woman had experienced in the past two weeks, the administrator said with a strange expression:
"You did your last job as a cook in the engineering team well, but the scrap paper you picked up to pad the soup pot turned out to be a quotation sheet used by the foreman to falsify accounts.

The last one was a waitress at a hotel. When you were cleaning the room, you slipped and accidentally bumped into the private room next door. You just happened to see the boss bribing the city councillor, and now you caught the chef and the waitress doing that kind of thing... Isn't this... a bit too coincidental?"

"I... I don't know what's going on..." The thin woman wiped her tears and said:
"Since I was a child, I have always been unlucky. I always encounter things that others don't want to be known. At home, I encountered my stepmother having an affair with a neighbor. At public school, I encountered the headmaster accepting bribes. Even when I was a maid at Ryan Manor, I encountered...

Anyway…anyway…I really didn’t mean it, and I never dared to expose anyone. I didn’t dare to tell anyone when I was bullied and chased away. I just wanted to find a job to support myself and my brother, but…but why is it always…uh…why is it so difficult to live a good life! "

"Ugh……"

Looking at the thin woman in front of her who was talking about a series of bad experiences in the past and finally couldn't help breaking down and crying, the administrator lady felt both amused and sad.

"Cry, you'll feel better if you cry."

She took out her handkerchief and walked towards the thin woman. After helping her with her burned arm, the administrator patted the thin woman's back and comforted her in a gentle voice:
"These are really not your problems. Don't worry. I'll think of a way to find you a job... Don't worry, you won't always be so unlucky."

……

No, she would probably continue to be so unlucky.

Standing in the stairwell on the second floor, after listening to the entire conversation between the administrator and "Miss Leila", Leon looked at the review form in his hand and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

[Name: Leila Roberts]

[Charges: espionage, leaking kingdom secrets]

[Sentence: After arrest and torture, execution by hanging in secret]

[File: Suspected to be an ace spy from another country, he has appeared in a series of important occasions many times since six years ago, causing a large number of confidential documents and evidence to be lost.

After investigating 29 places and a total of 571 lists of people entering and leaving, and after 19 months of tracking, the Secret Investigation Bureau finally locked on this deeply hidden spy and found a small number of lost confidential documents and evidence in the apartment where she lived. The specific list is as follows:
The "Secret Control Document on the Market Price of Supplementary Grains" signed privately with the Kingdom of Alesund was carefully folded and placed under a lame dining table;
The remnant of the Seventeen-Point Mutual Defense Agreement signed with the secret envoy of the Duchy of Hesse was cut up and disguised as a book cover, with the text of the agreement facing inwards, and was placed on the outside of a book of Children's Stories;
The porcelain vase with ceremonial patterns that the former Duke Ryan and the Kuko family had secretly allied with each other to fight against the royal family together was now broken and had a bunch of dehydrated wild lilies inserted into it and placed on the windowsill of the apartment...】

[Objection: After the investigation and verification of the file of this person by the Acting Director of the Secret Investigation Bureau, Isa Hill, questioned his espionage crime and reported it as a suspected "Special Circumstance No. 3" and transferred it to the Clearance Bureau of the Ministry of Police for review]

[Clearing Bureau’s review opinion: …]

"..."

My verification opinion is... the female police officer was right, this person was indeed carrying something unusual.

Looking at the long list of confidential documents and evidence in the file, as well as the rather "lifelike" results of handling these things, Leon couldn't help but reveal a strange expression on his face, similar to that of the administrator.

Generally speaking, it is unlikely that so many coincidences would occur, so Miss Leila must have something unusual that can "discover secrets". The more others don't want to be discovered, the easier it is for her to discover something.

As for the secret documents that were taken away...

If I guessed correctly, she probably lived in poverty, so like me, she developed the frugal habit of recycling waste. Plus, she might not be able to read or could not read very many words, so she collected such a large amount of terrible things.

For example, the porcelain vase with ritual patterns in the Ryan family, it might have been accidentally broken by another servant or someone else, and then secretly thrown away. She, a servant, saw it and picked it up, took it home and used it as a vase...

[Confirmed as the owner of the abnormal object]

After spreading the review form on the stair railing and writing down the preliminary judgment with a charcoal pencil, Leon frowned and fell into deep thought.

It is true that Miss Leila has anomalies, which fully meets the bureau's recruitment standards, but the question now is, is someone like her suitable for the job of cleaner?
