Work! This was one word. The word that Lola's life revolved around. when her mother gets sick and needs Surgery. Lola and her sister have to work harder than they do to pay her hospital bill with help and support from their friends. Well this was the plan till She fell in love with a certain Young master. The young master is smitten by his maid. What do they say about dating your boss?
Wow this place is so beautiful Lola exclaimed in her mind. She couldn't believe that she gets to work here for 6 months. Lola needed the money for her god mother's surgery. The fee was 150,000. The pay for working at this mansion was 27,000 per month she knew working here would require a lot of energy and so on but for her god mother's sake she had to put in more effort. Besides work was like her middle name.
Lola followed behind the house keeper with the other newly employed servants. She couldn't help but marvel at all beautiful and elegant decoration in the mansion. This place literally screamed the word RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!! From the grand stairs case to the paintings hanged on the wall.
Passing the interview wasn't easy but Lola luckily passed through. They were strict about the type of staff they employed. She was determined to save her god mother who had treated her like her old child ever since she was young. She had sacrificed a lot to make sure Lola and Selena could finish high school unfortunately she couldn't sponsor their college education. Now she was down with diabetes and the doctors recommended surgery.
The William's mansion really lived up to their status of one of the richest and most powerful families in country A.
The new servants were taken to the courtyard. Sitting in the courtyard was the William's family first missus. The daughter in-law of the old master she was his eldest son's most beloved. After the death of her husband the old master treated her well. He thought of it as his payment to her. He blamed his self for his son's death having pressurizing him to join the army where he later died. Beside her sat her daughter. She had only two children boy and a girl. The first missus did not look happy. She kept staring at the new servants as if she wanted to see through them.
"Mom" her daughter Tracey called her attention. She swept her gaze over the new servants present before turning to the housekeeper to say "you will need to pick a servant out of this batch present to work at my son's villa. The last two just quit"
"Yes First missus". The house keeper replied
Tracey looked at the new servants. She just came back from country H and she would need a new personal maid. She had heard that they would be hiring new maids and decided to choose from them. She waved her hand slightly as she announced "I will be picking my personal maid from among you"
She then directed her gaze towards where Lola was standing then pointed in accordance "You"
Lola stepped forward with her heart thumping wildly and asked "Me" looking at Tracey she didn't seem like someone who can be easily served or satisfied. The young lady had a bratty aura around her.
"Not you the girl beside you" Tracey replied
"Yes young miss" Rebecca the maid she pointed at replied
"Follow me, from today you are going to be my personal maid you will need to be with me at all times. Do you have any problem with that?"
"No young miss" Rebecca replied with her head down
Tracey turned around leaving the courtyard to head back to her room while Rebecca followed behind her closely.
To be honest everyone of the new servants excluding Lola knew someone from the old set of servant. Who helped them and told them inside information on the members of the family. Call it connection but they already had an idea what to expect. It was clear that the person would have explained the characters of the members of the family. Although the old master was not just served by any one. Only the servants who had a minimum of 5 years service in the William's family were allowed to serve him.
Most of them were all doing well who wouldn't when their annual salary was enough to take care of 2 familles annually .
Everyone of the new servants knew what to look out for when serving the members of the family . That was excluding Lola she only got the information from a senior of Selena who was an old servant with 4 years service in the William's family. She later recommended her before she could go for the interview. Selena was meant to be the one to take the job but they both came to a decision that Lola should go and work there since the job required that she stay in the building premises
The first missus also left after her daughter leaving the housekeeper with the task of choosing a maid for her son and assigning work to the others.
The house keeper turned around and asked "Is there any one that would like to volunteer to work at the Young master's villa"
"The salary will be twice the one you are payed here"
Lola immediately calculated in her head if she volunteered and was chosen she only had to work for. Three months .This was a fantastic opportunity. But she wasn't sure where it was located at still she couldn't leave such a golden opportunity
Lola turned her head around to see if any one would volunteer but to her surprise and every one's expectations including the house keeper. No one was Willing to volunteer .
Lola thought in her mind maybe there's some sort of bonus or benefit for working at the William's mansion which the Young master does not give at his villa
She reasoned that she didn't really need any bonus. She was only 19 years old she still had a lot of things to do . There was no way she was going to spend 4 or 5 years waiting for a bonus. She initially had allocated half a year to work and earn the money. but now she wasn't going to miss the opportunity to work half the initial period. at the same rate of payment.
She quickly raised her hand and said "I would like to volunteer to work at the Young master's villa " opportunity comes only once she wasn't about to watch this one slip through her fingers.
The other maids were overcome with a sense of relief as long as someone was Willing they wouldn't have to cast lots or pick randomly. They had all heard about how bad his temper was no one wished to work for him. It was said he tortured any maid who made a mistake . Since she was Willing let her do it.
The housekeeper looked at her in shock for a moment before regaining his composure and saying "Are you sure about it once you sign the contract there is no backing out" He sneered in his heart yet another girl who thinks she can climb the Young master bed because of her pretty face by acting to be his maid. She could only blame herself when the time came. The maids also snigerred secretly .They had the same thoughts as the house keeper. They had heard tales from their seniors on how the Young master dealt with women who tried to seduce him.
Lola fought back the urge to roll her eyes at the house keeper . Did he really think she would take such a drastic decision without considering it. Well he was right she didn't consider it much. Any ways she still replied politely. " Yes I'm sure of my decision "
"All right then you will all head to the servants residents for new staffs I'llcome around later to explain your assignments and duties. Miss Lola you are to change back to your personal clothes. Someone will be sent to call you when you need to meet the first Missus "
"Do you all understand "
"yes" they all replied in unsion
The housekeeper then put someone in charge to lead them to their rooms. Lola entered the room that was meant to be hers she quickly showered and changed into a cream gown. The gown was simple with long sleeves. She scrolled through her phone there was a message from Selena telling her to call her when she was free. Tieing her hair up in a messy bun she texted Selena that she was okay . She was somewhat proud of her long hair. She decided that she would call Selena when she arrived at the young master's villa. She and Selena were almost like twins inseparable.
