"Yes. Let's go" Veronica answered. Her face showing cold and shallow. She turned around cutting contact with her Father as she entered the jeep as the two men followed.
Within seconds, the Car began to move and slowly, It drove out of the area. Now, the only thing Veronica can keep hold of her home was her imagination. As she watched her home slowly fade away, new buildings and trees began to follow. That's it. She was really leaving the areas she grew up from. For almost 9 years max.
As the car traveled through unfamiliar parts of the city, she found herself in shock of the sights around her. Tall buildings and fancy homes seemed to pop up with each turn, making her eyes light up with excitement. But nothing prepared her for what came next.
Among all the impressive houses, there was one that stood out like a castle among cottages. It was behind a massive gate, and in front of it sat a mansion so huge it made her jaw drop. It was at least ten times bigger than her own house, and it just oozed elegance and wealth.
As they parked in front of the mansion, she couldn't help but stare, feeling like she had stumbled into a fairytale world of luxury and grandeur. It was like nothing she had ever seen before, a place where money seemed to flow like water and class was in every detail.
As the jeep entered the gate, the Gateman waved at their arrival popping his head inside the jeep and looking around.
"Good afternoon" The Gateman greeted the minute the jeep drove into the lobby. Taking a stop, one of the men stepped out of the jeep and opened the door for Veronica. Hesitantly, she stepped out of the jeep, her hands clinching nervously as she swallowed her saliva. Her heart was beating fast unable to explain what she was feeling at the moment. She didn't know whether to be surprised or terrified at this place. The owner of this mansion must have sold his soul to achieve this huge mansion. As she looked around the lobby, a woman in her late fifties approached them. There was something about her stern expression that reminded her of Claudia, but this woman seemed even more intimidating. Her face carried a grumpy look that made her feel uneasy, as if she commanded respect without saying a word.
"Is she the girl?" The woman stated, her frown aligned directed at Veronica.
"Yes." One of the men answered as the woman scans Veronica from head to toe.
"Alright. Follow me" She ordered and walked away as Veronica followed her from behind. Her hands folding.
As the woman led her inside the mansion, Veronica was flabbergasted. This place was bigger on the inside than it was on the outside. The design was really modern as well. Everything her eyes touched looked like it costed a fortune. From the luxurious flower vases to the ceiling, everything screamed wealth.
"How old are you?" The woman questioned as they continued to stroll the halls
"I'm 21" Veronica says timidly.
"Have you had any work experience?" The woman added
Veronica fell silent for a moment. Despite tirelessly working in various jobs like making coffee, waiting tables, and working as a grocery store cashier, her hard-earned wages always ended up being snatched away by either Sharon or Claudia.
"Yes I am ma'am" She answers.
"Great. Then working for the head master shouldn't be a problem for you" She stated as Veronica gulped.
'Head master?'
"Do you know how to cook?"
"Yes"
"Clean?"
"Yes"
"Are you organized?"
"Yes"
The woman pauses, silence chocking the atmosphere as they stopped at their destination.
"Here we are" The woman voiced as they both stopped infront of a huge door. The woman opened it widely. Stepping inside, Veronica gasped in shock. This room was really big.
"This is your room. Your things will be brought to you so don't worry. In the meantime, make yourself comfortable." She inclined
"On the desk-" the woman fixed her eyes on the desk placed at the corner of the room
"You'd see your maid uniform. I expect you to be down in 30 minutes for your training" The woman suggested before leaving the room and closing the door behind her.
After she left, Veronica lets out a difficult breathe of relieve, her eyes scanning the roo,. Never had she thought a maid's room can be this humongous. Even her bed is the size of her basement. As she swallowed her saliva, she sits on the bed, her heart was beating in an uncontrollable speed. For some reason, she had a bad feeling about this.
A really bad feeling…
