Francesca in France

Monday till Wednesday our Boss went to Torino. Butler get annoyed he didnt tell when he is coming back. Today, Wednesday, he called the Boss, in his cellphone, it is closed. Butler insisted, called the Boss in his land line.

Butler: Sir I would like to know if you are coming today so that I can shop your vegetables for lunch before I go for my lunchbreak.
Boss: (annoyed) If I come, I call you.
Butler: You think tomorrow, you are here?
Boss: I will call you, maybe I will.

end of telephone call...

Butler approached me.

Butler: You know, I called the Boss, why he gets annoyed when I call, I just want to prepare lunch for him if he is coming!

Me: Is it true that lie?
You called because you want to know if he is coming, then you do all the work, but if he is not you will not clean the garage, the garden , the kitchen, etc etc.

Butler: You are nasty. (Sabay talikod!)

Ang tawa ko sa kabobobohan niya.

But in my 6 years of dealing with Monaco residents(especially rich employers) never call to ask if they are coming or not. They call you, not you calling them, otherwise they would think, you are prying or doing some dubious acts (like emptying his house)while they are away. Instead of ten days away, he might come tomorrow to check, if Butler is doing right.



I cannot judge the poor Butler, but he put himself in a suspicious situation calling the Boss, 300 kms away.The reason of buying vegetables is a pretex.

What I knew, Madame told me they are away for ten days.
Butler was not informed????!!!I wonder why?

Employers sometimes do some tricks, if one is honest, ok, but if they see you coming, hehehe, you get it.

Just a simple common sense lang naman, wala si Butler non?!
