Ruby (p.o.v)
I followed my sister not knowing what she was about to do. The woman looked at us shocked when she saw us approaching. I mean come on I would have had a heart attack if suddenly 2 stranger appear in front of you out of no where, so I was impressed she handled it well.
"Hi I am Sapphair and this is my sister Ruby." She said pointing at me. I smiled at her and waved shyly.
"Hello how did you get here, how did you pass the security guard outside our gate" She asked.
I smiled sheepishly while Sapphair tensed.
"Oh you see we are poor and we live on the street, there were 2 drunk people chasing after us and we hid inside a car boot so we don't get found. We didn't know it was your son car and as we were just about to get out the the boot he drove off and we ended up here."Sapphair said.
"Oh that is bad I am sorry, at least you are safe from the bad people."She said
"Thanks about that, we overheard your conversation with your son about you hiring a servant. " My sister said.
"Yes , you see darling I am old and becoming very weak, a servant would help me a lot, but why ask" She replied.
"Well I know every thing about cleaning, I also know how to cook, I learnt it from my mum. What I am saying is that I would love to get the job, you see we really need it. We also be very great full if you can give us a room to live in, even if it is small we don't mind, I mean if it was just me then I could live on the street but for a 7 year old living on a street is not a good idea, you know what I mean" Sapphair said.
I looked at the woman who was deep on thought, I was impressed with the plan my sister thought,it would be great to live in this big mansion I just hope the woman agree.
"Oh I see and yes you are right living on the street is not a good place for a 7 year old. Did you say you know how to do housework"She asked.
"Yes I know everything" My sister replied.
"Hmm so this is what I am proposing" She said.
I looked at her excitedly while Sapphair try to hide her smile.
"What is it your proposing madam" I asked quickly.
Sapphair gave me a warning look as to say Shut up I am handling it. I just rolled my eyes at her I mean I wasn't a baby I should have a say in this matter, as even if we do get the job it would have been because of me.
"OK this is what I am proposing. We pay our servant 1,000 pound a month and as you want a room to live in, I be paying you 500 pound a month. This is because the other 500 pound would be the rent of the room you guys live in, is it OK?"She asked.
"OMG that be great, we love to have the job" Sapphair said happily.
"Great then the job is yours, come with me I show you your room and have a rest today and you can start your job tomorrow" The woman replied.
We followed her to the mansion and damn was it huge, it was so beautiful. the walls were covered with bright flowers wallpaper and the carped were all golden and sparkly. It was like walking in a castle. We walked up the long stair until we reached a room. The door was golden and had a tag saying Visitor room.
"I have important work to do, this is your room feel free to do anything you like, change it if you want to and in about 4 hours I will send a guard to show you around the place, who will also tell you what you have to do in your job" She said.
"That's OK madam and thanks for understanding" I replied.
She smiled at me. "Its OK, and please do call me Victoria" She said and left us alone in front of our room.
"Ready" Sapphair asked.
"Ready" I replied and I opened the door.
