3 New job

“But you know the money wouldn’t be enough to pay all the debts? Have you forgotten the coffin you used for your father was on debts? The man would be here soon.” Jenny said. Karen knew the payment they would be getting for the job would be huge but she didn’t want to work as a maid. But then she thought of what would happen to her if she didn’t provide the money for the coffin when the man comes. At the end of it, she decided to go for the job. The next day as planned, the both of them got themselves prepared for the interview. Since they would be working in a billionaire Mansion, they would need to go through series of interview to see if they would be best in the job. Her plan was to work for a shot period of time, save the money she earned and pay the remaining debts before starting afresh. Staring at herself in the mirror, she applied a light pink lipstick on her dried cracked lips. Her blonde hair was tied into a simple braid from her ear before banding it with a pink band. With a black simple gown that she wore, she patted her hair. Hearing the door opened, her brown eyes moved to look at Jenny who stood with a calm expression. She was already dressed in a black skirt and white blouse. “We are almost late.” Jenny reminded her. When they arrived at the house of the agent who would be giving them the job, they were welcomed inside by two maids. When the female agent who would be taking them to the Billionaire who needed the job stepped out, their eyes followed her to where she sat down. Even though she was not the Billionaire hiring them, she looked rich and wealthy. She appeared to be in her early twenties. She was a beautiful woman with long black hair and body full of wealth. “We came after receiving your text for job.” Jenny said. The woman nodded her head and flicked her finger. Jenny and Karen watched with widened eyes as a man dressed in butler uniform came in holding two papers. She nudged her head towards them and the butler handed each paper to them. “Read it.” She said to them. When Karen took the papers, she thought it was an easy one. But as she started reading it, her eyes and lips parted at the conditions. ‘You must make sure the Master of the house gets to eat his food before leaving to work.’ ‘You must make sure he takes a nap at the early afternoon and wake him up at exactly one hour later without going late even for a second.’ ‘You must stay at the Mansion during days and nights.’ ‘You must make sure he takes his medication often.’ “You must not engage in any relationship during working hours. If you fail to do any of the above it would result in deduct of salary....’ Karen placed her hand on her chest as if she was about to give up. Was she going to work there as a maid or his baby sitter? She looked up at the woman who was now wearing a frown. When Karen’s eyes moved to Jenny’s contract form and read the few lines, she frowned. Hers was different from Jenny’s own. Jenny’s duty was to wash and clean while hers was to take care of the Master. She looked at Jenny who was now beaming with smile. Karen pinched her skin to inform Jenny that she was not interested in the job. “So are you still interested?” The woman asked. “No....” “Yes we are.” Jenny replied with a bright smile. “You need to sign there.” The woman said. The butler came forward to hand them the pen. Karen slowly collected the pen from him before signing on the contract form. “All done.” Jenny said. “Alright then. Follow me.” The woman stood up and they walked behind her outside the house. As they walked, Jenny noticed the frown on Karen’s face and she paused to ask. “Are you alright?” “I am not. My contract form states that I would be babysitting the Master. He’s he perhaps a child or what? I don’t understand.” Karen frowned. “Didn’t you read the pay? You should be interested in the pay and not how hard the job is.” Jenny smiled. The driver opened the door for them to step inside and he drove off to the house where they would be taking a few test. Reaching there, they met other young girls of her age who had come to take the test. Since they were much who applied, they would select the ones who are more skilled in the aspect of the job. She wasn’t the best in cooking but she was good in washing dishes and cleaning the house. There was some places they were told not to step in. Places like the Master’s room and other parts of the Mansion. The butler is required to go there but she was put in as the assistant to the butler who would be helping in the needs of the Master. Since her duty didn’t require much cooking and cleaning, she passed the test. Once the rest were finished, Karen was selected first and then Jenny. The woman decided to show them a few things in the Mansion. “This is the butler of the house. Mr. Douglas.” The woman addressed. “And you all are to address him as Mr. Butler.” Her eyes moved to the old man who was still strong and healthy in the butler uniform. Even though he was old, he didn’t appear to be weak like the rest male servants. When everyone had left to view some parts of the Mansion they were allowed to step in, Karen was asked by the butler to follow him to the Master of the house. Karen followed the butler upstairs with her eyes moving around every corner of the house. She wanted to see the man she would be helping with his daily routine. Telling him when to sleep and take his medications, Karen was surprised. Was he a sixteen years old boy? Even a sixteen years old child didn’t need that kind of attention. When they reached the end of the long corridor, the old butler opened the door and told her to wait outside. “You may go in now.” The butler said. She slowly opened the door and went inside the room. She had expected to see a child of sixteen years old but when her eyes moved to the man who was seated on the King size bed with his hands typing on the laptop, her eyes widened with shock. Her kind stopped working for some time and it became blank. He was the Billionaire whom she would be helping with his routines? The man who had saved her turned to be the man she would be working for from now on. Was this fate that brought them together? She slowly bowed her head towards him with her legs trembling in fear. “You!” The man slowly stood up from the bed. “What are you doing here?” Now she was in a bigger trouble!
