MABEL HARPER

What kind of secret?

Alright, this has confused me a lot. This is literally the weirdest interview that I've ever seen. Though I never work for a big company, I saw several interviews in the movies. I never saw an interview like this-fast and just weird, for sure.

"What kind of secret, sirs?" I ask.

"You will know it when we arrive at our house. For now, I just need your answer. Are you able to keep it secret?" Chance asks back.

"I can keep it secret, sir."

Of course, it depends on the secret, but I'm good at keeping secrets. Right now, I need this job, though suddenly a maid job turns into an assistant, but I'm a fast learner, so I will keep up with it. I'm sure I can do it, and I don't care about what kind of secret there is; all I need is to work here.

"Alright. You are in, officially our assistant." Chase replies happily while giving me a handshake.

"Thank you, sirs."

"Now that it's almost dark, let's go home, and we will meet Lana there as well. You will come with us, Mabel." Chance speaks.

"Okay."

Chase and Chance escort me to the lobby, where a driver brings their car directly in front of us. I feel kind of exclusive here. Literally, I go inside the car with the bosses, and several other employees gossip about me when I walk to the lobby with them, the new employee, walking with the bosses.

The drive to their house is not as long as I thought it would be. As the driver brings us closer to the estate, I can't help but marvel at the exquisite architecture and lush surroundings. The mansion stood majestically against the backdrop of sprawling gardens and manicured lawns, exuding an aura of wealth and prestige. The grand entrance greeted us with towering gates and a long driveway, leading to the magnificent front doors. Holy fuck, they are fucking rich. My mouth widens as the driver finally stops in front of the door.

The first person I see is Lana. She stands and greets us.

"Welcome home, sirs. Welcome, Mabel!" She greets me happily. I can see how excited she is, but she tries to keep polite in front of the twins.

"Lana, please explain her job correctly this time; she was so confused about her job, and also explain how she will work tomorrow." Chance says to Lana.

"Alright, sirs." Lana nods, and the twins go to a dining room. I can peek from the door.

"You are a liar!" I instantly say this to Lana.

"Sooooorrryyyy!!! Sorry... because I desperately need a person to be an assistant, and the due date is kind of near, so when you told me that you needed a job, I... lied to you. Please forgive me, Mabel."

"I was literally embarrassed when Chance and Chase explained it to me, but I accepted it anyway, I couldn't refuse it. I have no place to go; to go back to the village is even not possible at this time." I speak with an annoyed tone.

"Sorry please... please forgive me..." Lana frowns.

"Please don't lie to me again. If you explain it nicely, I will accept it, especially if I know that those twins are hot as fuck and rich!" I whisper with excitement.

"Alright, I promise I won't lie to you again. I was too panicked when I saw the due date was already near. Anyway, let's go to your room!"

Lana helps me bring my suitcase and escorts me to a long hallway filled with so many doors facing each other. I guess this is the employee area. A lot of maids in different types of outfits passing by, probably having a busy hour remembering the big boss, are here. Now I'm kind of considering myself lucky. I'm supposed to become a maid here, but instead, I become an assistant.

"Here is your room, you will stay with me, of course!!" Lana shouts happily.

"Awww! I'm glad that I can stay with you! Oh my God, this is so comfy, Lana. Way better than my tiny space in the village." I laid my body on the bed immediately.

"Mister Chance and Chase are really good bosses, you know, though they are sometimes strict, but they are really good bosses. They let several employees from outside of the city stay here, such as you and me."

"When I went for an interview with them... Is Chase really so easygoing?" I ask.

"Huh? that's odd. Usually he is pretty strict-way more strict than Chance for real. What did he do?"

"He is kind of... umm, kind of keep standing behind me and near."

"Damn, for real???" Lana asks me.

"Uh-huh, he shocked me when I stood in front of the office door, and suddenly he stood behind me. Then, when Chance asked me several questions, he also stood behind me closely."

"I think he is interested in you. For your information, he is single, very rich, and attractive." Lana smirks.

"No way... Don't make my head high! I'm just an ordinary girl; no one wants an orphanage village girl like me." I reply to her.

"Have some value for yourself, Mabel. You are pretty, you know."

"I have, but still, I'm no match for him. I'm so tired and hungry. Where can we eat?"

"Let's go eat; I will show you the dining area for you, Mabel."

Just after Lana says it, a sudden knock appears on our door.

"Miss Mabel, Mister Chance called you to go to the dining room." A maid informs us.

Damn, what does he want from me now? Somehow, this makes me nervous.
