Jacqueline's Pov
"I guess you're the new Gin." The man says with a smile.
This-this is Mr.Cordova. Does he know who I am? I'm sure father did a pretty good job of keeping my identity a secret. Yet again, his son and his partners knew everything about me.
"What is your name?" Mr.Cordova asks.
"Jacqueline." I say bluntly without thinking. Dammit! He might not know how I look like but surely, the name gave me away.
"Hmm..." Mr.Cordova says as he strokes his chin with a serious glare.
I start to feel uneasy as the room tenses up. Ughhhhh. Please, if you're going to torture me-do it the right way!
"You're hired!" Mr.Cordova says, a smile suddenly appearing on his face.
"Really? Are you serious?" I ask, "No papers? No background info? No criminal checks?"
"Don't need them." Mr.Cordova says with a smile, "By the look in your eyes-I can tell that I can trust you."
Seriously? This is the Ansley family's five generation rival? Wow. I expected a lot more out of a bunch of criminal thieves. Not very smart, eh?
"You'll start work right away." Mr.Cordova says, "Dai will explain everything to you. That is all."
Dai bows to Mr.Cordova as we head out of his office. Something is up. I know it is. He knows who I am...doesn't he?
"This way." Dai says as she walks down the flight of staircases and up to a door that's labeled 'LockerRoom.'
"LockerRoom?" I ask, "Is this where we change?"
"Yep." Dai says happily, "This is where we all meet 8am sharp."
"All meet?" I ask.
"There are other employees of course." Dai says with a small chuckle, "Did you forget that already?"
"No. No." I say with a light smile, "I just wanted to make sure not to miss a thing."
"Good." Dai says sweetly, "We need more people like you on the team!"
Dai unlocks the door with a swipe of a card as we enter inside.
"Woah." Were the only words I could say at the time. For a LockerRoom, this is amazing!
"Surprised, huh?" Dai said with a slight smile, "The Cordova family takes care of their employees very well."
No wonder they make so much money. These Cordova's like to satisfy everyone, eh?
"Here is your uniform." Dai said handing me a cute maid outfit.
"Cute." I say with a grin.
"They're cute until drunk dudes think they can hit on you because you're wearing them." Dai says with a frown.
"I'll punch them in face first before one of those losers hits on me!" I say pumping my fist up.
"Hehehe. Jacque-kun, you're so funny." Dai says.
"Jacque-kun?" I ask.
"Oh. Sorry." Dai says blushing a little, "My mistake. I'm still trying to get used to American customs."
"Don't worry. Jacque-kun is fine." I say with a reassuring smile.
Ay, aye. Arigatou...friend." Dai whispers softly as she stares at the ground.
"D-Dai. Is something wrong?" I ask.
"N-nothing's wrong." Dai says looking up at me with a cute smile, "I-I just got lost in thought for a moment there."
