395 Words
Laura went with Clint on a, tour of the mansion. It was quite big with white pillars, and carvings on the ceilings. There were some antique vases and a bunch of red roses in them. Outside in the garden a fountain was there and a bench to sit on and marvel the magnolias and daisies growing all around.
A cool breeze was blowing. " As, you can see Laura you will forget all about the city here " Clint said. " Sure i would " replied Laura.
The butler came in the garden and said " miss Laura a phone call came for you from a miss Meg from Newyork. She said that she will visit you this weekend. "
" That would be nice. We allcan go hiking together too " Laura said gleefully to Clint but was a bit surprised to see a hint of grey pallor come over his face. " Why is he displeased " Laura wondered. Clint showed her around the office too and introduced her to Joey the stable hand and John his secretary who now worked as his business and property advisor. Joey was a very young lad with innocent eyes and a sunny disposition which Laura got attracted to immediately.
Its nice to meet you miss Laura. You are very beautiful " Joey said. Laura almost laughed. A scornful Clint instantly said " Joey nowadays you have become very careless. Last time the horses were not properly fed. Next time i see this happening you are out of here. "
A frightened Joey said " he will be careful " and walked away quickly from there. " Clint is too strict with him and i think he was jealous too " Laura thought.
The next day Meg arrived! " Im so happy to see you " Laura said. " Ofcourse i had to see how things are here. And yes this mansion and forests surrounding it are dreamy like a postcard type " Meg said. She was introduced to Clints mother. " So still you have not got your big break as they call it " Mrs Chiller said. Laura did not like this statement of her but as it was so typical of her. Laura said " i am sure she will get it soon. Come with me Meg i will show you your room. "
