Onalerona's POV

"Thank you ma for this opportunity I promise I won't let you down." I say and she smiles. "I know you won't let me down. You look like a hard worker and you determined that's what I like about you." she says and i smile. "So when can I start?" "You can start tomorrow. I would like to give you a tour of the house and maids quaters and introduce you to your work pals." I nod.

I finish the last bit of my water and we stand up and she gives me a tour of the house. "When I grow up one day i want this kind of house." I say and she chuckles. "It wasn't easy getting to the top but the pain and sacrifices are worth it in the end right." she says and i nod in agreement. "This is beautiful. It's good to see black success." She smiles.

There are two living rooms and two playrooms for the kids on this floor. The house has a modern look and there is a bit of rustic elements to it. I'm just in awe. These houses you only see them on TV with the celebrities and now here I am in one it's just amazing. We go upstairs and there are 20 bedrooms and bathrooms and there is a cinema room here.

"So you and the other maids will clean these two floors I've just shown you. No one is allowed to enter the basement are we clear." she says. "Yes ma I understand." I say. "When it comes to the laundry we have a schedule on whose washing you  do on each day. So Monday it's mine and my husband's washing. Tuesday it's the children's washing. Wednesday its the wives washing. Thursday it's my kids washing and then you done but most of the clothes go to the dry cleaner so it won't be a lot and since there are four of you, you can choose whose washing you are doing for each day." I nod.

"Do we wash by hand or the machine?" I ask. "Machine but you know certain fabrics require you to use your hand I hope you don't mind." she answers. "No it's okay." She smiles and we go back downstairs to the dining room. I sit on the chair I was sitting at and she disappears off to the kitchen. I can't believe I got this job. I knew it was going to be mine and I'll make sure I work hard and never slack. I'm not a lazy person.

She comes back with a snack platter and four glasses of juice. "The other maids will be here soon. I want to introduce you four and make sure you are comfortable with each other but you can help yourself so long." she says and i nod. I take the juice and drink it. The snack platter consists of fruits, biltong, crackers and cheese etc. When was the last time I had some of the items on this platter.

A few minutes later there is a knock on the door and she stands up and goes to open it. She comes back with three other ladies and we look like we are a bit close in age. I'm glad that they look like my peers and I hope they aren't uptight at all. "Hi. I'm Rendani it's a pleasure to meet you." she says and i wave at her and she sits down. "I'm Onalerona." She smiles.

"I'm Precious nice to meet you two." she greets and i smile and wave at her. "I'm Ayola nice to meet you guys." I wave at her too and she smiles. "So who is new here?" I ask. "I am." says Rendani. "Don't worry this is a very nice work environment. The people are really respectful so you don't have to worry about being ill treated by them." says Ayola and i nod.

"How long have you guys been working here?" asks Rendani. "We've been working here for almost a year now. We got in at around the same time." answers Precious. "So the woman that retired is the only one that was old?" I ask. "No we had another one but unfortunately she passed away." says Ayola and i nod.

"How old are you guys if you don't mind me asking?" I ask. "I am 34." answers Ayola. "I recently turned 37." answers Precious. "And I'm 28." answers Rendani. "You guys look good for your age." We chuckle. "How old are you?" "27." They nod. "You beautiful." I smile. "Thank you. You guys are also beautiful. I'm glad I'm working with young people." They smile.
