Wow this place is so beautiful Lola exclaimed in her mind. She couldn't believe that she gets to work here for 6 months. Lola needed the money for her god mother’s surgery. The fee was 150,000. The pay for working at this mansion was 27,000 per month she knew working here would require a lot of energy and so on but for her god mother’s sake she had to put in more effort. Besides work was like her middle name.
Lola followed behind the house keeper with the other newly employed servants. She couldn’t help but marvel at all beautiful and elegant decoration in the mansion. This place literally screamed the word RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!! From the grand stairs case to the paintings hanged on the wall.
Passing the interview wasn’t easy but Lola luckily passed through. They were strict about the type of staff they employed. She was determined to save her god mother who had treated her like her old child ever since she was young. She had sacrificed a lot to make sure Lola and Selena could finish high school unfortunately she couldn’t sponsor their college education. Now she was down with diabetes and the doctors recommended surgery.
The William’s mansion really lived up to their status of one of the richest and most powerful families in country A.
The new servants were taken to the courtyard. Sitting in the courtyard was the William’s family first missus. The daughter in-law of the old master she was his eldest son’s most beloved. After the death of her husband the old master treated her well. He thought of it as his payment to her. He blamed his self for his son’s death having pressurizing him to join the army where he later died. Beside her sat her daughter. She had only two children boy and a girl. The first missus did not look happy. She kept staring at the new servants as if she wanted to see through them.
“Mom” her daughter Tracey called her attention. She swept her gaze over the new servants present before turning to the housekeeper to say “you will need to pick a servant out of this batch present to work at my son’s villa. The last two just quit”
“Yes First missus”. The house keeper replied
Tracey looked at the new servants. She just came back from country H and she would need a new personal maid. She had heard that they would be hiring new maids and decided to choose from them. She waved her hand slightly as she announced “I will be picking my personal maid from among you”
She then directed her gaze towards where Lola was standing then pointed in accordance “You”
Lola stepped forward with her heart thumping wildly and asked “Me” looking at Tracey she didn’t seem like someone who can be easily served or satisfied. The young lady had a bratty aura around her.
“Not you the girl beside you” Tracey replied
“Yes young miss” Rebecca the maid she pointed at replied
“Follow me, from today you are going to be my personal maid you will need to be with me at all times. Do you have any problem with that?”
“No young miss” Rebecca replied with her head down
Tracey turned around leaving the courtyard to head back to her room while Rebecca followed behind her closely.
To be honest everyone of the new servants excluding Lola knew someone from the old set of servant. Who helped them and told them inside information on the members of the family. Call it connection but they already had an idea what to expect. It was clear that the person would have explained the characters of the members of the family. Although the old master was not just served by any one. Only the servants who had a minimum of 5 years service in the William's family were allowed to serve him.
Most of them were all doing well who wouldn't when their annual salary was enough to take care of 2 familles annually .
Everyone of the new servants knew what to look out for when serving the members of the family . That was excluding Lola she only got the information from a senior of Selena who was an old servant with 4 years service in the William's family. She later recommended her before she could go for the interview. Selena was meant to be the one to take the job but they both came to a decision that Lola should go and work there since the job required that she stay in the building premises
The first missus also left after her daughter leaving the housekeeper with the task of choosing a maid for her son and assigning work to the others.
The house keeper turned around and asked "Is there any one that would like to volunteer to work at the Young master's villa"
"The salary will be twice the one you are payed here"
Lola immediately calculated in her head if she volunteered and was chosen she only had to work for. Three months .This was a fantastic opportunity. But she wasn't sure where it was located at still she couldn't leave such a golden opportunity
Lola turned her head around to see if any one would volunteer but to her surprise and every one's expectations including the house keeper. No one was Willing to volunteer .
Lola thought in her mind maybe there's some sort of bonus or benefit for working at the William's mansion which the Young master does not give at his villa
She reasoned that she didn't really need any bonus. She was only 19 years old she still had a lot of things to do . There was no way she was going to spend 4 or 5 years waiting for a bonus. She initially had allocated half a year to work and earn the money. but now she wasn't going to miss the opportunity to work half the initial period. at the same rate of payment.
She quickly raised her hand and said "I would like to volunteer to work at the Young master's villa " opportunity comes only once she wasn't about to watch this one slip through her fingers.
The other maids were overcome with a sense of relief as long as someone was Willing they wouldn't have to cast lots or pick randomly. They had all heard about how bad his temper was no one wished to work for him. It was said he tortured any maid who made a mistake . Since she was Willing let her do it.
The housekeeper looked at her in shock for a moment before regaining his composure and saying "Are you sure about it once you sign the contract there is no backing out" He sneered in his heart yet another girl who thinks she can climb the Young master bed because of her pretty face by acting to be his maid. She could only blame herself when the time came. The maids also snigerred secretly .They had the same thoughts as the house keeper. They had heard tales from their seniors on how the Young master dealt with women who tried to seduce him.
Lola fought back the urge to roll her eyes at the house keeper . Did he really think she would take such a drastic decision without considering it. Well he was right she didn't consider it much. Any ways she still replied politely. " Yes I'm sure of my decision "
"All right then you will all head to the servants residents for new staffs I'llcome around later to explain your assignments and duties. Miss Lola you are to change back to your personal clothes. Someone will be sent to call you when you need to meet the first Missus "
"Do you all understand "
"yes" they all replied in unsion
The housekeeper then put someone in charge to lead them to their rooms. Lola entered the room that was meant to be hers she quickly showered and changed into a cream gown. The gown was simple with long sleeves. She scrolled through her phone there was a message from Selena telling her to call her when she was free. Tieing her hair up in a messy bun she texted Selena that she was okay . She was somewhat proud of her long hair. She decided that she would call Selena when she arrived at the young master’s villa. She and Selena were almost like twins inseparable.
Lola sat on the sofa in the room looking at the family account balance. There was only 17,560.36 in the account. The hospital had demanded for a fee of 20,000 before she could be admitted into the hospital. The operation had to be done in less than four months time. They would need to operate or it would grow out of hand and there would be only one result. She had to find out how she could get the remaining 3,000. Her initial plan was to get a loan from a bank 155,000 once she got the job. She felt that if the bank could confirm her contract maybe she could get a salary loan. She planned to do that once she was settled After resting on the sofa for sometime a knock was heard on the door. She quickly carried her bags and belongings to the door after rolling up her hair she had tied in a ponytail. When she opened the door she saw a lady probably one of the old servants “I am Pat the first missus personal maid. I was told to bring you along” she said in a casual tone “Thank you I’m Lo
Lola woke up it was Thursday just 10 days after she started working here on Sunday. It was also her day off. she still wasn't used to waking up in such a beautiful room it was totally different from any one she had seen and it was just a maid room!! She stood up from the bed and went to wash up. She had decide to go to the bank to discuss the loan. She had to finish up her job of cleaning the Young master room and private study. She intended meet Selena at home when she came back from the bank so they could get their mother admitted. But first she had to tell Omar and make him cover up for her. She had some friends among the servants but her relationship with Omar was the closest.They were usually teased by the maids who called them a couple. She stepped out and went to the garden. She already knew Omar's working schedule and knew where to find him at different times. She saw him pulling out the weeds whilst squatting. "Hi Omar" she shouted causing him to turn ar
She didn’t have time to think too much about it as she reached out and pushed the door open walking in she stood near the door .She saw a man who should be around 25 years of age he was decent looking. Was there a mistake this wasn’t the man Omar described. Maybe she entered the wrong office but the HR sign on the door said different. He was sitting behind the desk"Good day sir " Lola said unsure how to approach the matter at hand"Good day to you too have a sit I don’t bite" The man said jokingly."Thank you "Lola said before sitting down facing him"My name is Lola Damien I’m the new maid hired to work at the young master’s villa I want to apply for a loan""I’m Aaron Hudson I’m in charge of the staff welfare temporarily well you just started working isn’t it too early to apply for a loan" Aaron said while staring at her seriously his joking aura long replaced by a professional air. Who on earth comes for a loan just a week after starting a job? Well in this case a desperate pe
At the scarlet flames plaza on the 6th floor Aaron had been sitting on the chair when Daniel the young master’s P.A called him telling him that the young master was already in building and was on his way to his office. He wanted to inform him so he could prepare the documents to show his progress throughout these seven days. Aaron cursed out loud but hurriedly started to prepare it.When Aaron asked him he told him that the young master seemed to be in a rare good mood. He told him to try his best to please the young master if he wanted to stop working there. Aaron was in doubts though when was Hayden ever in a good mood.Aaron immediately collated all the necessary documents and stood while waiting for the young master to arrive. Five minutes later the door was pushed open with the young master as the lead while Daniel tailed behind. The body guards stood at the door. Aaron immediately greeted the young master. He didn’t reply only sat down on the chair. So much for a very good mo
Standing at the beginning of one of the rows, Lola could feel the beads of perspiration rolling down her face. Luckily it seemed the housekeeper had not noticed her presence. The last thing she needed was someone scolding her. After waiting for 20 minutes Lola was already having doubts of whether he young master was really back or if all this was just a drill to see how fast they could get here. Just when she was about to speak up. She saw a black maybech coming forward with another car behind it. Lola immediately guessed that the young master should be in the car in front. The car in front came to an halt at the entrance where the servant stood in rows. Lola could sense the nervousness of everyone. Their nervousness didn't help her at all.Well to state the truth she was also nervous. This was the first time she would meet her master of course she was nervous. She was even more nervous realising that even the older maids were nervous. The passenger’s seat door was flung open. Daniel
Well that was almost entirely true she felt her eyes twitch. If she knew it was such an important picture she wouldn't have touched it no matter how many guts she ate.When she lifted her head up Hayden (Young master ) was shocked he had been prepared to murder the culprit but seeing her innocent face he couldn't bring himself to do it. She probably didn't know what it meant to him. Hayden tried convincing his self but he knew he had also hurt people who were ignorant and innocent for the same reason What was wrong with him he was not normally moved by expressions was she a witch. "Forget about it but this should not repeat it self ever again""Yes young master" Lola said in a daze. She was sure this man hated her totally. She expected him to throw her out.What just happened everyone in the dining hall were shocked out of their mind even the maids who were outside the dining hall trying to see how bad the young master would treat her when he got angry. Everyone secretly had made be
Lola left and close the door only to find dumb struck Daniel standing at the door she’s snapped her fingers in front of his eyes before he snapped out of his reverie He kept on looking at Lola as if she fell out of space When they were the kitchen and Lola served their hot chocolate Daniel said “ I had a dream just now that a young master apologized to you “The edge of Lola lips twitched as she looked at him as though he were a fool.“ It was not a dream” she said even though she was equally shocked “This is crazy I should have recorded it now Aaron won’t believe me if I tell him the young master apologized to someone” Daniel ratted on When they finished the chocolate Lola went to her room while Daniel left the Villa to return tomorrow morning Lola entered her room she laid on the bed and called Audrey Lola: hello Audrey Audrey: hello my little cupcake You’re leaving on Saturday rightAndrey :yes Lola: I will miss you Audrey: I will miss you too cupcakeLola: you had bet
When Lola went in she told Daniel she would clean the young master's study and bedroom then follow him.She then took the cleaning the equipment with her to the second floor. She first cleaned the bedroom then proceeded to the study. When she dusted the books on the self she went to the desk. She made sure to avoid contact with the picture when she was done she carried the cleaning equipment back to the storage room. She locked the door then returned the key to the house keeper.She went to her room and took a bath she came out wrapped in a towel. She sat down on the bed to dry off her hair. When she was done she took out a jean trouser and cropped top. She had worn the top. Then started to wear the trouser when it reached her hips it became hard to drag upShe tried very hard to move it up but failed. Lola pulled it off then looked at herself in the mirror"~It seems what Omar said is true I'm getting fatter. Well I'll worry about that later I've got things to do right now~ but she d
