Mikaela's eyes fluttered open as the first rays of sunlight poured in through the windows. The Hawthorne Manor had countless rooms. This was Nicholas's Mother's room which seemed to be vacant for a very long time. Mildred said that his mother travelled a lot with his father so they rarely ever came home.

The room had a feathery soft king-sized bed with an eggplant colored canopy hanging above the bed. Mikaela had seven white fluffly pillows in different sizes that were surrounded around her. The room had a large round mirror on the wall beside the bed with a victorian desk and chair. There was some make-up left on it but Mikaela was too scared to even touch it. She didn't want to be accused of stealing on her first day.

The carpet floor was violet and in front of the bed hung a mini chandelier with clear crystals that were shimmering in the sunlight. The walls were colored lavender and there was an empty walk-in closet but since she would have a uniform soon she didn't think she would need it much.

Mildred said that this was her temporary maid's room until her other new one was arranged on the other side of Nicholas's room.

Mikaela groaned when Madame Mildred walked in with a frying pand and metal spoon. She whacked the pan constantly like a gong. "Wake up! Wake up! We've got work to do Ms. Clover" she announced loudly in her annoying raggedy voice. "And get Nicholas out of bed as well, he'll be late for the meeting" she told Mikaela before leaving.

Mikaela huffed a breath and forced herself up. She remembered her bet with Nicholas.

Okay, instant $10,000... Let's get this over with!

-------------------------------------------------

She stomped into Nicholas's room. "Wake up now master, you don't want to be late for the meeting now~!" she said reluctantly in a sweet voice.

Nicholas just shifted in his bed. "Mildred, shut up you old hag..." he groaned hugging his pillow.

Mikaela grinned walking over to him with a frying pan in one hand. "Master Nicholas?" she called one more time but he just groaned some more. She sighed, rolling her eyes then began banging the frying pan on the wall like a mad man. "WAKEY~! WAKEY!!!! MASTER!!!!!" She yelled as the ringing of the frying pan made Nicholas jolt out of bed.

----------------------------------------------

Meanwhile Mildred was down stairs in the kitchen, setting the table when she heard a loud thump like something had fallen. Then the second floor erupted in a series of curses, screams and yells. "Hmph it seems they're getting along already..." the woman scoffed returning to the place setting.

-----------------------------------------------

 "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?!?!" Nicholas screamed at her from across his bed, he stood with ruffled hair. 

"Following Mildred's orders and waking you up" Mikaela pouted placing her arms on her waist, imitating a sweet maid. "Now get your sorry ass downstairs, you need to eat breakfast and get ready the meeting is in 30 minutes!!" Mikaela said ushering him into the bathroom so he could shower.

"Hmmmm would you like to join me?" he asked her with a drunken face, he was probably half asleep, leaning back as she tried to push him in the bathroom.

"Geez, you're a pervert in your sleep too" Mikaela sighed pushing him in the bathroom and closing the door shut and she sat on his bed waiting. He came out dripping wet, 5 minutes later with just a towel around his waist. "25 minutes left" she reminded him tapping her wrist like a watch and left the room to wait for him outside the door.
