"Good morning Blaire Bear; it's your d-day" Caitlin said smiling opening the curtains in Blaire's room.

"Good morning Caitlin; what is the time?" she rubbed her eyes sitting up

"It's fifteen minutes to seven and you are supposed to report to work before going for your duty" she said to her sister

"Oh no! Why did I over-sleep today of all days?" she asked and ran into the bathroom asking Caitlin to pass her a towel.

After her bath she dressed hurriedly and carried her luggage rushing down the stairs before Ashton came to her aid, she muttered thanks and they moved to his car while their parents hugged her.

"Take care Blaire, do not forget to call us" Caitlin said and Ashton drove off.

On getting to her work she hugged Ashton so tight he squirmed and told her to release him. They said their byes and Ashton left for work.

She signed in and asked Cassie if the director was in and she nodded.
"Thank you Cassie."

"Good morning sir," Blaire greeted the director

"Good morning Blaire, you may go I just wanted to ensure you do not go late and I hope the address of the place has been sent to you." he ensured

"Yes sir," she said and he dismissed her
Blaire went to the reception and bided Cassie farewell "Do not miss me too much." she teased

"I won't one bit, now off you go because you are getting late."

On getting to the house Blaire knocked and was attended to by the gate keeper "How may I help you ma'am?" he asked harshly

"Good morning sir, I am here for the post of a house keeper" Blaire said

"Oh, so you are the new maid" the man answered harshly

"Yes sir"

"Let me contact the woman in charge" he picked up the land line phone

"Beatrice, a lady is here and said she is the new maid. What is your name?"

"Blaire sir,"

"Her name is Blaire; okay I will let her in"

"Thank you sir" she said, earning a nod from the man. The gate suddenly opened as the man pressed a button not far from him. She entered with her luggage and followed the man; she was amazed at the size of the house but she kept a straight face.

On getting to the entrance of the house she met a woman who she assumed to be Beatrice and bowed greeting her

"You are late!" Beatrice shouted

"I am sorry ma" she pleaded earning a scowl from Beatrice

"I wonder who goes late to a new job on the first day." she scoffed making Blaire feel so bad.

"Anyway, I am Beatrice, the head of the house keepers."

"Now let us go inside," she said ushering Blaire inside the house "The owners of this house have two children who live here and they are Nathan and Natalia Smith. I will warn you not to cross paths with Nathan or you will see what he will do to you. Am I clear?"

"Yes ma'am," she bowed earning a scowl from Beatrice

"Also the sir of this house does not condone laziness and-"

"Who is this Beatrice?" Robert Smith interrupted

"Good morning sir, this is the new maid."

"You are the new maid. We have been expecting; you were meant to resume at 7'o clock and this is 7: 30." he was explaining when Natalia joined them in the living room.
