Prior that event.
"Adi! You won't believe it! I found a job for you!" My friend Kara excitedly said, showing me a picture for her phone.
"Really?!" I scanned the picture and give it back to her after.
"W-why? You don't like it?"
"Kara, I think that's a scam. Who would use a poster for hiring when they can just post in online?" I said in a 'as-a-matter-of-fact tone.
"Uhm.. them? I mean there's nothing wrong using a poster to look for an applicant." She reasoned out.
"Yeah? Just look at the salary, what kind of rich ass would pay $20,000 monthly for cleaning a house? That's the real definition of fraud."
I sat on her bed.
I am now staying at her apartment since something bad happened in ours and I can't came back to my aunt's house anymore.
"Them!" She said exaggeratedly, "Adi, listen! Why would someone release this if they are not really looking for a maid?"
"To scam people?" I sarcastically answer
She scratch her forehead in disbelief. "Why don't you just try? I mean this might be the chance for you to continue your studies!" She became more excited about the job
She's right but still no! That's too good to be true! 20,000 dollars salary for maids? And if it's really true that I'm sure there is no vacancy anymore, people won't let this kind of job slide especially if the salary is this big.
"Let's just say you are right, Kara, but do you still think that people will that slide? We're talking about 20 grand here!" I explained to her
"Let's just try, Adi! Nothing will lose to us--to you! I mean if my boyfriend would just let me I will grab this work." She said in 'as-a-matter- of-fact' tone
"Please..?" She pleaded together with her puppy eyes and I lose
"Fine." I sighed, losing. "Let me borrow your phone, I will call the number in it."
She grinned at me saying like she've won before handing her phone to me. I dialed the number that was written on the poster and just a couple of rings someone answered the phone.
"Hello?"
A deep baritone voice welcomed my ears. I feel like every hair in my body just rose up.
"A-ahm.. hi..?" Kara's keep on cheering me with her so called 'silent cheer'.
"I- I would like to ask if the job as a maid is.. uhm.. still open?.." I asked softly. I can feel my hands trembling.
"Name, please?"
I shut my eyes tight after feeling that weird sensation inside my stomach after hearing his voice. Weird.
"A-addison. Addison Gillian."
"Hmm? Okay. Age?"
"25 years old."
"Body count?"
My mind load. What? What did the person on the phone just asked?
"Heellooo?" There's a hint of playfulness is his voice now. "Just kidding. Go to the address that I will send to you, 3 pm sharp. If you're late it's better not going here anymore. I hate late people."
After that he hung up the phone. I put the phone down.
"What happened, Adi?!" Kara run to my side
"I-- uhm.. I think I pass the intial interview.." I answered her but my mind is still loading with his last question.
"Kyaaah! I told you!" She hug me so tight that I almost couldn't breathe. "What eles? When will you start?"
She's indeed really excited, her eyes is almost popping out of it's sockets.
"I don't know but I need to go to the address that they will send me. I think they will do another interview there." I answer her then her phone beeped indicating that there is a message.
"Open it now, Adi!!"
"W-wait.. relax, okay!" I tried to calm her down because her excitement is dominating her whole system right now
I took a deep breath before opening the message, It's from the number that I called earlier. The content of the message is the just address where I need to go, no other things like a greetings or whatsoever.
"Graceville?" Kara snuck her head to the phone to read the message. "Isn't it the village where the one and only Quarters Mansion is standing high and mighty?"
She look at me and her eyes shine even more!
Quarters Mansion? I think I've already heard that place, everyone is talking about it ever since it was built. They said that Quarters Mansion is owned by best friends named Oliver Williams, Atlas Farrelli and Noah Hudson; they are popular in our city because they are so wealthy that they bought the whole Graceville just for them. They also said that aside being wealthy, they are handsome bachelors, too; some also compared them to greek gods.
"Addison!" My mind went back to reality after hearing Kara's loud voice
"What were you thinking that you can't here me calling your name?!" Kara exclaimed
"Nothing. What is it?"
"The message said 3 pm and it's already 2:30 pm! You have to get ready!" She pull me to stand up
She went to her closet and pick a white short dress, she also get a pair of black heels and black bag from her closet.
"Here you go!" She handed all those to me,
I looked at her, puzzled. " W-what is that?"
She grunt, "your clothes to wear, hello?" She snapped her fingers in front of me
"To wear? W-why it has to be that?"
I couldn't understand why I have to wear those, I have my own clothes that is not showing too much skins--- Don't get me wrong, I love Kara's fit but we aren't the same, I am not confident like her.
"Because it's your interview, Addison! You have to look good because first impression lasts." She explains it to me
She's right. I have to look good at my interview, I agree with her and took the clothes that she give me to change in that. I went to her bathroom to change my clothes and when I saw my reflection in the mirror, I blushed.
This Sunday dress is literally hugging the upper part of my body, emphasizing my big boobies. It's length is two inches above my knees and shaping ny waist. Wow.. I didn't know that this is what my body looks like in this kind of clothing.
"Addison! Come out now! You are going to be late!" Kara knocked the bathroom's door.
"W-wait a minute!" I shouted back and divided my hair into two and put it in front to at least cover my t**s.
I went out the bathroom and the whole room was covered by Kara's scream of joy.
"O my God! You are so sexy! Will you marry me?!" She scream
I just laugh at her because I don't know how to deal with her compliment. Well, it's my first time hearing that kind of compliment since, it is always kind, sweet, and smart.
"Come here, let's put you some make up." She excitedly said and she push me softly towards her vanity table.
She made me sit on the chair in front of the mirror. She prep my face first before putting some foundation.
"Good thing we have same shade in foundation." Kara said while spreading the foundation using a foam.
She also put some contour on my checks and temple, she didn't bother to put some on my nose since it is already pointed and perfect --- according to her.
"Isn't it too extra, Kara? I will be attending job interview not date, you know.." I stated after she picked her eyeshadow pallet.
She chuckles. "You have to look beautiful, Addison! You are not just meeting your future employer, you will meet the owner of Quarters Mansion! Who knows, they might like you and ask you to be the girlfriend of one of them."
I laughed, "Your imagination is always so extra, Kara."
She just laughed, too, before adding some blush on my cheeks. She then add lipstick and spray some what she called setting Spray. She said this will make my make up last longer.
To be honest, I can only count on my fingers the event where I wore make ups; putting make up is not really on my liking--- don't get me wrong, I don't have any grudges on women wearing make ups but I don't really feel comfortable wearing those. Kara is the only one who can make me wear make up.
"All done!"
I look at my reflection on the mirror and that leave me in gape. I look.. pretty.. I look so beautiful! My make up is just a light make up and almost looks natural and I love it!
"I love it, Kara! I look so beautiful!" I hugged her in so much happiness that I am feeling right now.
"Thank you so much! I love you!" I hugged her even more.
She hugged me back, "I love you, too! But you have to go now, okay? You're going to be late!"
She pulled me leaving her together and sending me in front of their yard. There's a cab waiting for me .
"Take care, okay? Good luck and I love you!" She said after pushing me inside the cab in so much excitement.
"Bye, Kara!" I waved at her before the cab went away.
The cab run and since I don't have a phone, I spend my time watching trees and other plants for the whole trip. After 15 minutes of sitting in the cab, we finally arrive in front of the gigantic gate of the Quarters Mansion.
"Thank you." I said after I paid the driver, he just nodded and went away.
I walk towards the Black gigantic gate of the Quarters Mansion, the whole gate is pitch black highlighting the shiny gold plated doorbell on the side. I pressed it.
While I was waiting for response I glance at my watch, 2:59 pm. 1 minute before 3 pm, good thing I arrived on time.
"What do you want?" There's a harsh voice coming from the speaker beside the golden doorbell. It's color black, too and I didn't notice it not until it ring out.
I press the button on the lower part of the speaker assuming it's a button for the microphone.
"Uhm.. hi. I'm Addison Gillian, I am here for my interview."
This guy sounded different from the one I talked to earlier, this guy's voice is harsh and rough its like he's spitting every word that he is saying. But the guy's voice earlier is softer than this one, there's a hint of playfulness on the first guy's voice.
"Interview for what?!" The speaker ring again
"Uhm.. for maid?.." I myself wasn't even sure, funny. "The guy I talked to on the phone earlier said to come here for my interview.." I bite my lips after, I am getting nervous thinking this guy will shoo me away.
The speaker went silent for a couple of seconds before it rang again, "Name again?"
"Uhm.. Addison Gillian."
"Hmm.." my mouth opened when I heard that rough 'hmm' it's making me feel something but I just brushed it off.
"Age?"
"25.."
"Body count?"
I coughed so hard. His question caught me off guard. His question is just like the first guy's question.
"Ah-ha!" I coughed once again. "W-what does my body count have to do with the job I will apply for?" I genuinely asked
"I am the one interviewing you, you can't ask questions." He answered me rudely
I unconsciously pouted. I was just asking though and interview? Won't they let me inside first before interviewing me? Hmp!
"So?" He seemed impatient for my answer. "If you can't answer that you can get out in front of my house. You already failed the interview---
"Wait!" I stopped him, what's with this impatient man?
"I uhm.. I don't have any yet.." I answered shyly
"What?" He asked in disbelief
It's true though, I don't have any experience yet and I don't want to yet. I don't have a boyfriend and if I'm going to give my virginity to someone, I want it to be my husband.
"None.. I don't have any experience.." i repeated even though my cheeks is currently tomato red.
The speaker went silent again. " Look at the CCTV camera on your left. At the very top of the gate." He ordered
I look for the CCTV for a couple of second before my eyes locked on it. I had a hard time looking for the camera since it's also color black.
"Spin around."
I did what he said.
"Bend over."
That made me stunned. But the voice laughed that made me sigh in relief.
"Just kidding." Even though he said he was joking I don't hear any humor on his voice because it's still rough and harsh.
"Come in."
The big gate suddenly opened.
