EPISODE FOUR
After that embarrassing moment at the road, I finally made it to the mansion where I will work as a housekeeper.
I saw a bell button at the gate and pressed the button , then wait for a while.
A security guard comes out and walk towards me.
“How may I help you, Miss?” He asks me.
“I have an interview with Mr Mark this morning” she said.
He opens the gate and she enter the compound.
And, sweet baby Jesus, the compound is darn big.
The mansion itself is big enough to house hundreds of people. A small fountain stands in the middle of the compound.
“This way, Miss” the security guard said.
She follow the guard towards the entrance of the mansion. We reach the door and he opens it.
“After you” he said.
I step into the mansion and I’m welcomed by a cool breeze and a nice fragrance.
I close my eyes and take a deep breath, tasting the freshness of the house.
I open my eyes and come face to face with a blonde hair guy, he has a smile on his lips.
“Are you alright, Miss?” He asks.
My cheeks warm up and I feel blush creeping up my face. I know I’m poor, but I don’t have to show it everywhere I go, right?.
I turn around to see if the guard is still behind me, but he’s not. I turn back to this blonde hair guy and put on a fake smile.
“I’m fine, sir” I reply.
He nods.
“Call me Bright. You are Miss Mirabel Johnson, I presume?” He asks.
” Yes, sir” he glares at me. “I mean Bright” I quickly correct myself.
“Good. So, come in” he ushers me to a sofa and gestures for me to sit down.
I sit down.
“So…. You already got the job. I just have to put you through all the things you need to know. I wrote them down on this paper that I’m gonna give to you, please study them to avoid any mistakes in the future” he said.
He hands me a sheet of paper. I glance through it quickly.
Rules:-
1: Always wake up by 5am to cook breakfast.
2: Never look into your bosses eyes.
3: Always replace your bosses bedsheets and blankets every morning after he wakes up.
4: Make sure dinner is ready before 6pm.
5: Never go to bed before your boss.
6: On raining days, always remember to turn on the house heaters.
7: Always remember to persuade your boss into taking his medicine every night.
I take in a deep breath after reading through the dos and don’ts. I raise my head and sees Bright looking at me curiously.
