In the wake of Brian’s visit, there was an intense scramble among the maids of the Lindsay household to secure a spot for sampling the moisturizer. Helen’s participation was already assured, so she avoided being sucked into the conflict, but she nonetheless regaled Claudia with how fierce the battle was.

“In the end, Miss Martha acted as the judge and made the final call on who could participate,” Helen concluded.

“I am only glad no one was injured in all this.” Claudia paused, tapping her chin thoughtfully. “Hold on. Doesn’t everyone already have their own moisturizers?”

Most of the maids working in the duke’s household were part of the aristocracy themselves. Even the commoners among them, such as Helen, were paid handsomely enough that they could ­afford their own cosmetics.

“It doesn’t matter. Even if it’s just a sample, this is a product of the same quality from the company where you get your moisturizer, Lady Claudia. Of course everyone is excited!”

“If it means that much to everyone, should we make this moisturizer a regular bonus for all our maids?”

“You would do that?!” Helen asked eagerly, hands clasped to her chest.

Claudia gawked at her. She hadn’t expected Helen to be this elated, nor could she understand the reason for it. “I will admit the Evans Company is top-quality, but it’s only moisturizer,” she reminded her maid.

“It’s an incredible honor to use cosmetics of the same quality as one’s own mistress! And considering you’re our mistress, Lady Claudia, that makes it even more valuable!”

Claudia was widely known as the perfect noble lady, a reputation she’d earned through more than just her conduct alone; her beauty was no secret. As Helen told it, there wasn’t a lady alive who didn’t desperately desire to achieve even an ounce of Claudia’s allure.

“I would bet you anything there will be a battle between the young noble ladies as well,” said Helen. “Products are always limited, which means it will be difficult for even those in mid-ranking families to procure it. A price hike is inevitable because of its scarcity. Instead of offering it as a bonus, why don’t you make it a reward? The other maids will be more motivated that way.”

Helen made a persuasive argument, and Claudia nodded in agreement. When she later approached the butler to implement Helen’s idea, he didn’t seem to grasp its purpose, but the head maid Martha was quick to throw in her support. That was enough to win the butler over and solidify the moisturizer as a reward for the maids.
