The man shivered just from yesterday's memory,
“my name is Nina, and it would be a pleasure to work for the Walters family,” one of the girls who had come for the interview had said.
“you know, it would be a great joy to be one of the employees in the Walters conglomerate," another one had said. He remembered the girl smiling like her life depended on it. 'I bet her jaws hurt the moment she stopped smiling.
They had hidden the work position from everyone because they wanted to know who was serious and who was not. If they were serious, they would have done a background check on the job position, with or without the hint. The posters had hints of the job position, but when you asked them whether they had the idea of the job position, the girls were suddenly tongue tied and once they were told, they would give very stupid expressions that made him disgusted with them. That is why a whole day went by wasted, and now, he was standing in front of a gigantic human tiger, trying to give him a report of what happened yesterday.
“In short, no one wanted to work as my nanny because I am in a wheelchair?" The man asked, and his assistant could feel the anger and loneliness in his voice, though he was trying hard to hide it.
Matt, the assistant, scratched his head awkwardly, “well...” He was interrupted by a knock from the door, which made him inwardly sigh in relief. When his boss was angry, all hell would break loose.
The door was opened immediately after and the butler walked in then bowed slightly, “young master, there is a lady who came for an interview,"
“Who directed her to my villa?" He looked at the butler then his assistant, “the interview was yesterday."
“Sir, I was the one who directed her to your house,” replied the butler.
Young Master Trent did not like shouting at James, because of all the people who worked for him, only James and Jane, were the only one left. They have porched all his workers, from the company to the house and without second thoughts, all the servants and his employees left him to go and work for his step brother. His assistant did not take their bait, and James and Jane, also refused the offer no matter how much they were promised, and one month ago, when he left with Matt, their car was tampered with which led to him being in this situation.
“Young master, it is better to have someone young take care of you. I apologise for being impulsive and inviting her here, but I had no choice, this is for your own good,” the butler tried to plead his case. He knew he had crossed the line, but he had to do it, if they can't get a helper due to fear, then they would be always lagging behind.
“Young master Trent, I also think butler James is right, if he will send a spy, then let us fulfil his wish. We keep our friends close and our enemies closer," he paused for a few minutes, “besides, if she is a spy, we can use her too.”
“Okay, give her a gatepass, and tell her to start work tomorrow morning. Give her my routine and what she is expected to do. The rest you can discuss with her.” Trent concluded. He had thought about it, and they were right, he cannot avoid it, “you can go,” he said to the butler, and after James left, he looked at Matt, “How's the matter going?”
Diva sat down at the waiting area drinking tea, after she arrived, she was directed to this room. “My apologies for the wait, young miss... " he dragged the last words waiting for her to take the hint.
“Diva. My name is Diva Summers.”
“Well, such a beautiful for a young miss,” he was intensely looking at her, the young lady looked so young, she had a round baby face, with tiny dimples, and she looked like she had a rough life. He shook his head, “where are my manners. I am the house butler, and James is my name."
“Nice to meet you and thank you for the opportunity to try my luck, ” she is not good at pleasing people, infact she is the worst at it, but because she needed this job, she would do it.
Butler James waved his hands, waving off the pleasantries, “there is no need for all the pleasantries, we will all be working together.”
When Diva heard that, her heart almost jumped out of her chest. Did she hear it correctly? Or did she get the wrong meaning? “You mean...”
“Our young master said you can start tomorrow morning.”
Diva eyes almost popped out of its sockets, “when you come tomorrow, you will discuss the salary with the young master. You should be here by eight in the morning and you leave by eight in the night.” He watched the girls happy face, then asked, “do you have any other questions.”
“Mmmh, yes. What is my work, cleaning, cooking or...”
“No, it is none of the above, you will know tomorrow once you see the master.” He did not want to tell her that her work is to take care of a man in a wheelchair and watch how that happy baby face turn gloomy, he would be really disappointed.
Diva did not care, as long it has nothing to do with selling her body, the rest will come later. She looked at the butler for a while then said, “ butler do you have a problem with your back?”
“Miss, how did you know?”
Diva's lips twitched slightly, and smiled innocently, “I was just observing,” she looked at him, then said, “how about this, boil cloves, ginger, turmeric and white tree then drink it until the day you feel better, otherwise you will have a hunched back at an early age. Or you can first go for a check up if you don't trust me.”
“Thank you for the advice miss, I will try your remedy, if it works, I will forever be grateful to you.” He had already gone to the doctors, and they only gave him painkillers which did not help at all, although she was still young, there was no danger in trying. “Miss do you know medicine?”
