"I can do this," I muttered under my breath, trying to motivate myself as I took in the grand sight of his mansion.

Here I was, standing in front of this massive, beautiful estate with my team, ready to decorate for the welcome party tonight.

What a waste of money. Who even throws a welcome party? But, it wasn't my concern. It's his money-he can burn it all if he pleases.

"Ma'am, all the materials are placed in the living room as you directed, and nothing's broken," my teammate's voice reached me.

He nodded and left, and I headed inside the mansion. I scanned the area, silently relieved that I didn't spot him anywhere.

I moved toward the living room where the materials had been placed and began sorting through everything, organizing it so that I could find exactly what I needed for the decorations.
