"Interesting, in what way is she worth the high prices?" she asked, curious. So the other maids were pretty expensive, but this one… This one was special, she could tell. The high prices — 400 thousand dollars, and more, still. The tell-tale signs were there.
“I haven’t owned her for too long, but she can and will do absolutely anything you ask her to, whether possible or not. Her skills are very well honed and she has incredible memory. Her resolve is also very high, which may or may not be a good thing. She’s just a perfect balance and tailor maid for this job,” he paused, then continued. “When I bought her they didn’t specify why she was this expensive though, even after looking through all of her records and trying to lower her price because it was so un-realistic, nothing showed.”
"Huh, okay. Fascinating," Isabelle replied, leaning forward just a bit. "I'd like to pursue my interest in that one."
It wasn’t uncommon for people to pertain interest in Amara, she had been sold and sold over again. Nethan would not part with her unless given a good enough payment.
“Would you mind elaborating on this? Do you wish to stay to study her work, and possibly buy? Do you simply wish to buy her? Invest and co-use?” Nethan asked, then took a sip of his tea. The tea was made exactly how it should have been, he would’ve smiled had he been alone.
"I simply wish to buy her, what is your price?" Isabelle asked, leaning back again. She brushed a stray hair out of her face, her shining blue eyes looking up at Nethan.
“My price you ask … ? Minimum: $450,000, a replacement of competent skill within a 3 month max. time frame from the purchase, proof of legitimate buying, not using her as a gift, and how you will use her. She’s essentially a premium good, so she should be used well.” Nethan was wondered but this person, so confidently shown and buying away his best maid immediately.
Isabelle thought for a bit, looking up at the ceiling. Four hundred fifty dollars… money wouldn't be too much of a problem. But a replacement of competent skill… now that would be harder. Thankfully, she could probably call up her sister for some help. "I see, shall I wire the money over to you?" she asked, finally speaking.
“Of course, of course,” He waved his hand nonchalantly, but inside did not wish to give away his greatest treasure so soon. “I’ll have her finish up here so she can join you shortly.”

Amara fiddled with her duster as she moved to the next room. Was she really here to buy me? She wondered. She started to dust the corner of a frame, then paused to look at the paintings contents before continuing. Her stomach turned, would this lady be any better than all the others?
