''What do you want to know, ma'am?'' The butler asked Lily.
''How much is your salary at the end of the month?'' Lily asked him back.
''What?'' The advanced aged man was taken aback. Although he could not question her, he wondered what she wanted to do with that information.
''Mr Harold does not bother with what I get paid or not. He just sends me on errands, and that's it. At the appointed time, he sends me on a particular list of items,'' The butler told Lily.
''And how much does he give you for these items on the list?'' Lily asked.
The butler was going to mention the exact amount that Harold used to release, but he remembered that Harold had warned him about being exorbitant around Lily.
