MABEL HARPER

'Hi, I'm Mabel. It's nice to meet you, sir.'
Wait, I think that isn't a good introduction. Should I use a more formal introduction?

Right now, I'm standing in the bustling city streets, my heart pounding with anticipation. I marvel at the towering skyscrapers that seem to touch the sky and the streams of people rushing past me in every direction. I know that this opportunity could change my life and open doors to endless possibilities. My hands literally tremble slightly as I arrive at the company's headquarters, facing the fact that I will go for an interview with the big boss itself.

Two days ago, Lana, my best friend, informed me about this job opportunity. She has been working in a mansion for about two years, and suddenly she asked me to work with her. She said a maid had already quit, and the boss needed a new one as soon as possible.

I couldn't lie; this is a very hard opportunity. Everyone here in the village wants to work in the big city, but it's so hard to get that opportunity without having a proper education. I didn't go to college; it was so expensive. My parents passed away a long time ago in a car accident. I live alone and work on the farm only to get money to eat. School is free in the village, but to go to college, you definitely need a lot of money. I can't afford it. Now that I have the opportunity to get better money, I want to use this opportunity to get a better salary and collect some money for my future as well.

Lana said that I would go for an interview in this office because the owner can't meet me in the mansion; the owner always goes home late, so Lana told me to come into this office for an interview with the owner itself. At first, I couldn't believe it. Why do I need to go into such a big office only for an interview as a maid? But Lana insisted that all I need to do is just go into this office and talk to the receptionist.

"Excuse me, hello, my name is Mabel, and I have an interview appointment with Mister Braxton." I say this to a girl at the receptionist as I arrived.

"Yes, Miss Mabel, please follow me to Mister Braxton's office."

I follow her going through the elevator that directly brings me to the top floor.

"Mister Braxton's office is the door on the right, Miss Mabel. Good luck with your interview."

"Thank you so much."

I step into the grand entrance of the office, mesmerized by its exquisitely designed interior. I can't help but notice how the office exudes an aura of success and professionalism. The carefully curated design of the office creates an atmosphere of power and prestige, leaving a lasting impression on anyone who enters. It is clear that every aspect of this office has been meticulously thought out to create a sense of luxury and refinement. Damn, I never saw anything so luxurious like this before.

I stop in front of the giant door that I believe this is Mister Braxton's office. I knock twice on the door, but no one answers.

"Excuse me, sir." I knock one more time.

"Yes?" A voice scared me out from behind my back. Just when I want to turn my body to face the person, the door in front of me suddenly opens, and I see another man sitting behind the desk, his blue eyes staring in my direction.

"Come in, Miss Mabel. I believe that is your name, correct?" He asks me.

The mysterious man behind me clears his throat, making me turn my body and look at him directly. Holy... I can't hide the fact that this man literally makes me speechless. This man is very... handsome.

"Ah! So you are the new maid candidate. Hello, Miss Mabel. I'm Chase." He grabs my hand and shakes.

"You make her confused, brother." The man at the desk talks, making me look at him.

"Oh my God... wha..." I gasp. They are both twins!

"Hello, Miss Mabel. Please have a seat. I'm Chance Braxton, and the person behind you is Chase, my twin. We are both very delighted to finally meet our new personal assistant candidate." He continues.

The man behind me escorts me to my seat. Wait a minute, what did he say? Personal Assistant???

"Uh... Hello Mister Braxton, I'm sorry, you mentioned 'personal assistant', but Lana said I will go for a maid job interview; I don't understand which one is the right one."

"Please call me Chance, and yes, you heard it correctly. I need a personal assistant that will assist me everywhere I go, and you will also stay at my house, as Lana informed me before that you don't have any place to stay in the city. I have a lot of rooms in my house for workers that have selected to stay, and you are one of them that will stay there as well because I need you a lot as my assistant." He explains.

"But... but the maid job, sir?" I ask with a lot of confusion happening in my mind.

"No, you won't be a maid; that job is already full, and right now we need you as OUR assistant; my brother here is greedy; she will be my assistant too, brother." The man who is named Chase replies to me.

"Yeah, sorry, the correct one is our assistant since me and my brother are always together." Chance speaks.

"Okay, I apologize sincerely, but I have no prior experience working as an assistant, sirs. I am simply an ordinary girl from a village. I am unsure about the tasks involved in being an assistant, particularly at a job desk, and many other aspects. I don't believe I am the right fit for this position, sirs." I explain.

I don't believe this. Lana lied to me! I came from my village, taking a three-hour journey by train to the city, only to get a nonsensical job interview right now.

"You don't need to worry about it; I will teach and assist you." Chase suddenly stands behind my seat and speaks near my ear. I become so nervous all of a sudden.

"Chase, you will scare her again. I'm so sorry about my brother's behavior, but we will teach you about the job. So, Miss Mabel, will you take this opportunity?" Chance asks me.

"Umm... Is that all, sirs? How about my salary, and what should I use as transportation to get to this office from your house, sirs?"

"Lana will explain the details about it; its her job, but for the simple, you will go to the office every single day with us, and we need one more thing: you need to keep a secret. No one other than people who live inside the mansion should know about it. Can you do that?" Chance says it with a strange tone.

What the heck is happening here? What kind of secret?
