La Missione

Chapter 05: "New House" ( part 2 )

Amary P.O.V

After a few hours of driving, I finally reached a vast metal black gate of a prodigious mansion with a very nice landscape on its outside . I checked the direction my master gave me and it was right, so I guess this is it. I pulled my car out of the main road and drove along the path going into the vast gate.

I step out of my car to open the gate for myself. I opened it and I got back to my car and drove inside. I parked my car in the huge parking lot outside the mansion, along with the new Lotus Evija. I can tell that it is still new as the overall look of it says that it was brought fresh from the manufacturer.

I step out of my car and open the passenger's door for Luxe to go out. I grabbed my backpack and closed the door.

" You must be Ms. Dowson?" A female voice coming out of nowhere asked suddenly behind me. I jumped out for a little while, as I didn't expect anyone to be here. My god, I think my heart skipped for a bet. I breathe in and out to calm myself. I faced the direction where the female voice came from. It's a woman who owns that voice. I smiled a little at her.

" Yes, I am, ma'am," I genuinely said back to her. She's a little older but not old enough. I think she's in her mid-fifties. She has her long gray hair tied up in a nice bun that makes her beautiful. And her eyeglasses make her look a little older than she is. I guess she has really bad sight now compared to other women at her age.

" Sorry for scaring you. I didn't mean to do that," she apologized sincerely. I smiled at her again.

" No, it's okay," I comforted her.

"I'm Elena, the housekeeper of this mansion," She introduced herself formally and smiled at me.

"Nice to meet you, Elena," I said, taking Luxe's tie.

" This must be luxe," she pumps.

" Yeah, he is," I confirmed. She bent down and gently brushed Luxe's hair. Luxe wags his tail at Elena, and I believe he enjoys what Elena does to his hair.

"I can tell, you like dogs, Elena," I said to her. She laughed a bit and stood straight again to face me.

" I used to have one before, but I lost him for some reason," she said. I can see the sadness on her eyes when she spoke those words.

I apologize to her, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up that one."

" No, it's okay. It was a long time ago," she said. "Let's go inside. I know you haven't eaten your lunch yet," she added, and walked ahead of me. It is now 3 in the afternoon. I have to admit that my stomach is really going crazy as I am so hungry from the hours I've been driving. I didn't bother to stop over to eat anything because I found it to be just a waste of time.

I followed her with Luxe leading the way ahead of me. We walked beside a wide pool toward a big door before we entered the mansion. I carry my backpack on my shoulder as we go in.
