My Lady Chef
Chapter 25.1: Business Tour
Ely's POV:
"Are these calculations correct?" I showed Milford and Hubert my work on adding and subtracting this month's expenses.
They both looked at my neat script and the tables I drew up as well as the categories I placed each expense in.
"This is very well done milady." the head butler looked at me like a proud father. "Your handwriting is legible and the calculations were done very well."
"The tables you made up also lessened the confusion which made adding everything easier. You paid attention to my lesson very well. His Grace would be proud of you." Hubert looked impressed.
"I have the best teachers." I gave them my biggest smile.
But what they do not know was that I already have the basics of accounting and managing expenses in my head in my previous life. As an owner of 5 cafes and Michelin star restaurants; I had to dabble into how my business is run so I had to study and learn how to manage them.
If I had not died so young on Earth; I might have expanded into other ventures.
"Thank you for checking this month's ledger Milady. I shall escort Sir Hubert to his horse." The head butler told me once our lessons were concluded.
