Maid to Serve Them

Chapter 2

Mr. Von Don is waiting for my in the foyer just as the valet promised. It's dusk now so I wonder if I'll be meeting my new boss. I study Mr. Von Don shyly through my lashes, around 5'8, just taller than me, very well dressed in a royal blue suit.

I reach to shake his hand, he must be around twenty-four, how does he have this position? "Good evening sir, I'm Wrenly Mooney."

He doesn't take my hand, "A pleasure I'm sure." He smirks down at me, with his bright red hair, freckles and young age, it just isn't very intimidating. "Well you sure are punctual. Ten minutes ahead of schedule, the masters and I do appreciate that. Come walk with me, I'll take you on a tour. You received the welcome packet from the previous head of estate?"

"Yes sir, I memorized it as well."

He levels me with a calculating look, assessing my value without seeing my work, something I do not appreciate. "Very well. As you see this is the foyer that leads to a sitting room where guests are entertained."

I take in the spacious room with a nod, easily a dozen couches fill the space in comfortable little sections and corners, everything feels welcoming and cozy despite the size. Their decorator is very good.

"Next we have the lounge where drinks are served, as well as the T.V., and gaming consoles are kept for the masters pleasure. There is a direct staff entrance from the kitchens, at any time you could be called from your duties to serve them. You will not have to worry about their meals, only their drinks if they request you at all."

I nod but don't comment, I already know this from the packet.

"Next we have their offices, you of course can be in there to clean at sunrise precisely. You are aware you're schedule is six pm to six am correct?" As if he expects me to leave because of times.

I nod, "Yes sir, I am aware of the hours."

"Very well, next we have a wine tasting room, down the hallway is my office, further down this way please," I got a little stuck looking at pictures of grapes and wine. "Through here is the staff kitchen, and the staff recreation room as well. He leads me through each very tidy space. The staff rooms are very well set up like the rest of the mansion, there is a wall of books, board games, consoles, computers, and a large t.v in the space.

"It's very nice." I comment politely.

"Umhmm." He murmurs, "Upstairs you are to clean the masters' rooms starting with Master Henry's at eight pm. If anyone is in there ignore them and continue to clean around them. Do not make eye contact or conversation. Am I clear?"

"Understood sir. Am I working tonight?" I don't want to tell him that I'm exhausted from the eight hour drive.

"Yes, you'll start a little later than normal, in half an hour you'll report to me in my office."

I nod again, I feel like a damn parrot, "Yes, sir."

"The west wing are the masters suites, the east are the staff suites, and in the middle are the guest suites. Their is a pool house you are also required to clean, you may use the pool in your off time. Ah, and your room fifth from the main stairs."

"Thank you for the tour sir."

"Mhmm, here is your badge it will only allow you in the rooms you have permission to enter, do not loose it or forget it, please have it around your neck at all times. Your uniform is in your room, see you shortly." He walks off and down the hallway, taking I assume a set of stairs directly to the staff area.

I scan the badge and my door beeps green then I hear it unlock, just like a hotel, how odd. The suite is magnificent! Dark brown furniture, with plush dark green everything. I feel like I'm in the woods, it's amazing.

In the closest hang a dozen dresses, calf length, also dark green. They have a simple square neckline, with a pleated skirt to be able to move around freely. I find black hose that I am also required to wear, and a set of dark green thongs. It's a good thing I like to wear thongs or this would be a pain in the ass. I giggle at my lame joke.

I wash my face in the huge bathroom, brush my hair putting it into a neat braid then get dressed. As I look at myself in the mirror I certainly look like a staff member. Just classy.

I hang the badge around my neck and head to Mr. Von Don's office for my first task.
