Waking up this morning was definitely not in my dreams. I have to admit but I am nervous. I am currently standing in front of my mirror reciting the same words in my head 'I won't let Silver get to me.' I know you would think by now I have moved on but how do you move on from your first everything.
"Michelle you are going to be late for work, come and get something into your stomach and be on your way" I groaned. Emily woke up on time today just so she could see me off.
"If I didn't know better I would say you want me out of the house" I could literally hear her laughing.
Of course not. I love you too much but you still need to go to work. Here have this." She said while putting a plate of pancakes in front of me. I am too nervous to even get the taste of the food but if I don't eat Emily will kill me,so I just throw three pancakes in my mouth and pretended to be in a hurry.
"Emily thanks for the food but I gotta go, my driver is waiting for me outside. Bye love and tell Ora I love her." I pecked her cheeks and hurriedly left. My drive hasn't arrived yet but I just wanted to take a stroll and clear my head.
I have been walking for over 30minutes now when my phone rang.
"Hello.......oh yes,I am little down the road by the bakery shop........yes that one thank you" I hung up after telling me where I was,that was my driver. I don't know how long I waited until the driver arrived. I got into the car and settled down.
"Good morning Tony. Hw is your wife and kids?" I asked out of politeness because sincerely I am not in the mood for conversation.
"She and the kids are very well thank you" he replied back am sure out of politeness also. Tony is a very gentle and kind man but I can't say the same about his wife. The drive to the house was quiet exactly what I needed. I didn't even know when we arrived until Tony spoke.
"Ma'am we are here" I got down thanked him and he drove off.
To say the house was huge was an understatement. It was a freaking mansion. I walked up to the door and pressed the doorbell and door was immediately thrown open. A maid of about 50 or so was who answered the door. She is quite a beauty even with the gray hair.
"You must be the new maid. Hi I am Alexis but everyone calls me Nana. Come on in."
Her voice was very welcoming and sweet. Stepping into the house took my breath away. It was amazing to say the least.
"Come this way my dear. You would have to meet with the boss first before you will be assigned to a particular chore but for now you will in the kitchen and do random cleaning. Boss would be back next weekend so that's when you get a particular chore." Nana explained to me.
"So is it a must I meet the boss?" I asked already dreading the answer.
"Of course. Boss likes to interview new workers personally again to know what they are capable of doing. He doesn't want to give them more than they can do." She said smiling at me. I really am dreading that moment.
"Oh" that was all I could alter.
"By the way I didn't quite catch your name."
"Oh my manners. Am Michelle Joel but everyone calls me Baby." The one thing about me since I started this job is that I never lie about my name. Nana looked at me strangely am guessing because of the name.
"Okay, Baby is quite a name. C'mon let me show you around." I get that a lot.
"Sorry to ask but will the boss be coming back with his wife?" I know that question sounds stupid but am curious.
"Oh no. Boss is divorced though only us knows his family doesn't know yet." I don't know why but I felt relieved at that moment and I didn't like that feeling one bit. God help me.
