Santa Claus’s Son is My Master?! WTF!!!

                I swung my hands to and fro as I walked down the fancy corridor towards the office of my new boss. There’s a red carpet that runs along it with classy paintings of elves, fairies, and different Christmas pictures and often I will pass by a huge window from the ceiling to the floor with velvet, silky curtains. Most passersby will greet me with a huge smile and cheerful greeting while I awkwardly answer back with my eyes down. Seriously, is everyone like that here? Because for some reason I feel like I’m a little…well…different; like the new girl in town or the newbie in work. It just doesn’t quite fit. What exactly am I doing here? I know it’s a job, but… there’s more to it. I don’t know why, but I feel that way.

                Oh well, who cares?! I’m here anyway. It’s not like I can request to go back so quickly when I’ve just arrived. That’s kind of embarrassing.

                “Miriam, why did he call for me?” I asked earlier when she’d come to fetch me.

                That’s when I noticed something was up.

                She just looked at me as if surprised by the question and suddenly blushed hard as she turned her head away and answered, “I-I don’t know, miss. But it must be quite personal since he asked for you to come in his study, since most of the time he will just let the maid and some important people to go in. Wa-wait, what am I talking about?”

                She held her forehead and looked at me with a panicked face, “Please forget what I’ve just said! Please, miss! I might get in trouble saying that.”

                I just raised an eyebrow while I looked at her pleading expression. My shoulders drooped as I gazed at her. What’s up with that?

                “Why? Is it banned to talk about the boss’s activities?” I asked curiously.

                She relaxed a bit and told me, “No.”

                “Then why are you so nervous about saying something like that to me?” I placed my hands on my hips and leaned forward closer to her face, giving her the evil eye. She stepped backward and avoided my gaze. I loomed closer and then she suddenly smiled while dangling her index finger in the air.

                “Oh, look at the time! Master is still waiting for us. Come on!” She said cheerfully, although it’s quite obvious that she’s hiding something. Something that involves me. If you think about it, the people here seemed too friendly with me, don’t you think? But it’s better than them running away and screaming ‘Alien!’. Ugh! What’s going on here?!

                A huge red double-door entrance loomed above me as I gazed up to the very tip of the door where I saw a funny-shaped thing. It was like a red gem engraved with a star on it. It’s pretty. Yeah, pretty lame comment, but hey, at least there’s a comment, right? I gulped as my shaking hands gripped the golden handles of the door. I looked back at Miriam and she gave me a thumbs-up. What for? I don’t know. Probably it’s because the boss will give me an ultra-hard assignment that sent tyros to the utter despair of failure; which I hope won’t happen to me. I gulped again. I hope so anyways.
