"Welcome to South Africa, Mr Clayton. I'm Lilian,your new housekeeper", the middle aged woman said.
I just arrived at the airport and this woman was holding a cardboard with my name on it. She led me to a taxi and we continued our journey to my new apartment.
"Lilian,are there any other staff in the house apart from you?", I asked.
"No,Mr Clayton"
I rested my head back on the headrest and started wondering what my days in South Africa will be like,I wondered if Lilian knew who I was and if Robin told her about my tendencies to steal.
"We're here,sir", my new housekeeper said, pulling me out of my thoughts.
I got out of the car and looked at the house,it was smaller than my real house but it looked really cozy. It had a garden and a lawn and the house was painted white.
Lilian carried my boxes inside and I followed her.
The inside was painted dark brown,like the colour of dark wood,two beige sofas and a wooden table were the only furniture in the sitting room.
The dining room had a two-man dining table,a dinner set shelf and a mirror.
I looked in the kitchen which appeared to be more alive than the rest of the house, there was a fridge,a gas stove,lots of utensils and to my greatest delight,a tray of cupcakes.
I quickly picked one and bit into it, Lilian was certainly a good cook judging by the creamy taste of the cupcake I was holding.
"I hope you like it,sir", Lilian interrupted my thoughts again.
"Yes,very delicious. Lilian?",
"Yes?,Mr Clayton"
"You know that I'm in my mid twinties and you're like in your mid forties, right? " I asked the woman in front of me,
"Yes sir"
"The formalities is embarrassing me,please, answer me without sir at the end of every statement from now on." I said and Lilian nodded
"I do like the sound of Mr. Clayton though,makes me feel important."
At this, she laughed,
"Alright,Mr. Clayton".
I stuffed my mouth with another cupcake and went towards where my room should be.
I stopped in my tracks as I opened the door
And I thought the living room and dining room were bare,
My room was empty except for my boxes that good Lilian just brought in for me,a mattress and a mirror.
I quickly brought out my phone,turned on the netwirk roaming and dialled Robbie,
"I think I've been robbed! ",I said as she picked the phone,
"What!?, at the airport? ",she squealed in my ear
"No,my room has only a mattress and a mirror in it,I think someone stole all other things", she suddenly started laughing
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you that I left the room bare,so that you have something to do before your first appointment with the doctor"

"The next time I see you,I'll flush your hair down the drain"
"I love you too. Get furniture shopping bro", she said and ended the call.

Frustrated,I called for Lilian,
"Do you know any furniture stores around? , I need a bed"
And so, my housekeeper and myself went out to the next street to buy me a bed.

"Do come back next time!",a familiar voice called out as we walled into the store,looking up guess who I see,
"OMFG! what are you doing here!"
