Maid Madness

Chapter 4

I couldn't really speak after hearing Ryan tell me that I would be working for him, so i just came up with an  excuse to go home.

"HE'S YOUR WHAT?" Jackie screamed loud enough to make me shudder

"My boss, calm down, I don't want to wake you're mom"

"Stephanie you already going to like fourth base with this guy.  Your moving in!!"

"Jackie oh my god.  Professionally, and plus he's rich and doesn't need someone like me in his life, I'll just drag him down, anyway."

"you seem nervous." she eyes me suspiciously

"I told him everything.  I needed someone to talk too, and I just spilled everything out."

"what so bad about that?"

"He listened"

"Still not seeing what so bad" she seemed super confused, like a lost puppy

"I'm about work for him, not with him.  He knows everything about me now, and he can use anything against me, I don't want people to know I'm working for him.  I don't want anybody to know about me, and he has the power to spill all my secrets to everyone, anyone he wants."

she studied what I had just said carefully. "If he listened to you, I think he'd rather help, than hurt you."

"Thanks, Jackie" i smiled and hugged her.

"God you're gonna miss me" she laughed.

Saturday.  They day where I would sleep in and try and run away from my problems came and reminded me of my 9:00am fitting.  I woke up (barely) and got ready for the day to come. 

I made it to the train at the last second, like the doors were literally closing.  It was abruptly 8:55 when I made it to a french dress store with beautiful gowns and jewels in every direction.

Mrs. Winchester was already at the store talking to the owner about a pearl bracelet, probably worth a year of hospital bills.

"Hello, Mrs. Winchester!" I said trying to sound more enthusiastic then I felt

"Why hello, Stephanie! are you ready?"

"yeah, I mean of course!"

"Great! Let's get started"

I looked in the mirror at myself. The uniform fit perfectly, which meant I could start as soon as tomorrow. 

I walked out of the dressing room to see Mrs. Winchester and Lucy, the owner of the shop talking about my job.

"That fits very nice! No altering needed" Lucy sounded overjoyed she didn't have to do any work. 

"I know it will be hard but do you think you could start tomorrow? my house is a wreck!"

"Sure! but do you think i could move my stuff in tonight too?"

"Of course, Do you need help bringing it down?"

"No, I only have a few suitcases, I could even start tonight!"

"That'd be great!"

"Also i will be taking the train to school everyday, but I'll take last period as my free so I'll be home at around 2:00."

"Oh school, I almost forgot. What school do you go too?"

"The same one has your son actually."

"Then taking the train won't be needed, you can drive with Ryan.  It quicker and more efficient anyway, you can take the train home if you'd like"
