Welcome young miss
1035 Words
The bodyguards were very polite to Jasmine,
She sat quietly in the car.
After what seemed like a long drive they arrived at the Tan’s house
The gates were high up looking majestic,the insides of the compound couldn’t be seen from outside,not even the roof,to Jasmine it just looked like a prison,a pretty prison.
The gate was opened,The car drove in.Immediately She got in ,she could see the difference between the TQ family and the Antonio family, just from her view in the car she could see the beautiful well spaced trees,side walks,benches,street light as though it’s a whole city,it’s a house full of romance.
She could see a garden obviously very big but due to her being in the car her sight was limited,she could get lost if she walks alone here she thought to herself.
The more they went in the less Jasmine felt afraid,it was obviously a house made for a youth,everything just had a young youthful person vibe and it gave so much peace compared to the Antonio’s house.
‘Let’s calm down’
She thought to herself.
She couldn’t stop her heart from racing,why ? what and where is this?!
The car soon came to a stop After about 10 minutes,in front of a mansion.
In fact calling it a mansion is an understatement it’s extravagant,very beautiful and tall.
Jasmine thought to herself,could it really be a young person that owns this? doesn’t seem like it.
As Jasmine stepped out of the car,Maids with uniforms came forward to welcome her
‘Welcome young miss’
They all greeted in unison obviously well trained.
Jasmine not sure how to respond and clearly embarrassed because she has never received so much respect,not even quarter,she simply replied with a smile
‘Hi’
…
…
Seeing she might be uncomfortable as she’s new and the whole mansion and yard could be overwhelming the head of workers dismissed her staffs and approached Jasmine.
‘Welcome young miss I am Mrs Wong the head of staffs here I have been instructed by young master to show you the way around here as he is very busy with work this week and wouldn’t be able to attend to you’
‘Oh’
‘Phew!!!’
Jasmine breathe out a sigh of relief,somehow she wasn’t ready to meet her ‘owner’
‘Oh that’s fine Mrs wong,thank you’.
Jasmine responded with a beautiful heart captivating smile.
Mrs wong escorted Jasmine to her room,prepared her a bath and told her to relax and come down when she’s ready to eat,she left as soon as she was done so as not to disturb Jasmine.’
When everyone left the room was quiet with only Jasmine,she looked around the large room ,The bed was so big and soft, 10 people could sleep on it comfortably, her room was themed pastel pink and white youthful but not burdensome,The furnitures compliments the color of her bed sheet,duvet,every color complimenting another,the beads on the dreamcatcher hanged on her window chimes and rings with the flow of the breeze,the soft light in the room gives so much peace and calm and the accessories in her room just added a magical feel to it.
it really is a dream room.
Jasmine lay on the bed and stares into space for a few seconds,it feels like a dream too good to be true,she stood up to take her bath,soaking the the warm bath really relieves all the pent up stress she had from living at Antonio’s,she felt like crying.She finally got the peace she wants but at the cost of her freedom,but nevertheless she knew she could always find a way out.
After soaking in the bath and washing up,feeling a little hungry Jasmine went downstairs to get something to eat.
Used to cooking herself she heads towards the kitchen but got lost,it’s her first time around and she hasn’t even gone round the house Mrs Wong probably forgot to tell her,not wanting to cause trouble Jasmine heads back for her room,she decided it would be better to wait for Mrs Wong.
While going back, she meets Mrs Wong halfway
‘Young miss I’m just coming from your room,do you need help with anything?’
‘Ah Mrs Wong…it’s fine…I…I just got lost looking for the kitchen’
‘Oh young miss I forgot to tell you,I’m so sorry,you could just ring the bell in your room and you would be served in the dining space in your room or if you would like to eat downstairs I’ll show you the way to the dining room’
Mrs Wong said as she shows Jasmine the way to the dining room.
Walking through the mansion Jasmine realised how big it really is,she couldn’t even go back to her room herself now.Thankfully there are signs on the walls ,it looked like they were just put there recently, for her? Nahhh ‘I’m probably just reading too much into it’ she thought
They arrived at the dining area. Jasmine sat while Mrs Wong serves her.
After eating,Jasmine returns to her room,she figured it’s about time she starts planing for her life as an adult ,she’s 19 already and hasn’t taken the college entrance examination.The application for the exam would be out in a few days ,she was going to talk her dad into letting her apply this year but oh well s**t happens.
It was her dream to work as a manager/secretary ,she is a very organised and inflexible person incredibly smart also,all through her education she got in with scholarship which was one reason she could attend high school in peace without her father or half siblings hindering her.
Jasmine heard from Mrs Wong that there is a library in the house ,it would make her studying easy,she has photographic memory so it would be easier to skim through and get an idea of what she’s studying without a teacher.
Jasmine heads for the library,she spends the whole night reading After drafting a time table and strict educational schedule.
Her owner wouldn’t be around for a week anyways she better make the most out of it she thought .
