A year serving as a companion tutor to a young lady in Nottingham, UK.
I've been hanging out in Nottingham for a year now, doing odd jobs on the side. Luckily, I landed a job as a butler for a young lady. The salary isn't too high, but my main role is to provide companionship.
The young lady is extremely socially anxious and doesn't have many friends. My job mainly involves picking her up from school, accompanying her on shopping trips, grocery shopping, cooking, traveling, playing games, occasionally cleaning, feeding her cat, reminding her of deadlines, and teaching her data analysis. Meals are provided, but accommodation is not included.
Sometimes, I playfully call her princess because she's cute and delicate. Even though I have to accompany her to and from school, when the weather is cold, she allows me to sleep at home if she has an early class. On the way back from school, she even brings me bubble tea and pancakes from Tesco. On weekends, when she wants to go out, I just need to plan the itinerary. I bring myself, and she brings the money, and off we go.
When the young lady buys nice shoes, clothes, handbags, she occasionally buys me belts and shoes too! She really loves me!! Over time, we've become more like friends than boss and employee. Luckily, the princess is down-to-earth and enjoys saving money. She likes fried chicken, desserts, Luosifen, baozi, and grilled cold noodles, all of which are within my budget. I often buy them for her. I thought the young lady had no worries in life, but last night, she suddenly cried and said to me, "Please help me rent out the Morrise House, the closest student apartment to Nottingham. It was newly built in 2022 and looks amazing. It's designed in the style that the princess likes. From ensuite to studio, it only costs £185pw to £235pw, and there's a free shuttle bus 🚌 to the school, just a few minutes away! Bills are included! The rooms have ample storage space! The bathrooms have separate dry and wet areas! The apartment has complete facilities for activities!"
It turns out that the young lady is the daughter of the CEO of a listed company. During her studies abroad, her company was taken over by cunning individuals. She decided to build student apartments in Nottingham, make a comeback, and reclaim everything when she returns to her home country!
