3 YEARS LATER...

Lisa's P.O.V.

"Hello is this the job center that put an ad for the job of babysitting?"

"Yes miss. May I help you?"

"Yes. I'm actually looking for a job and I saw the ad. Is it still empty?"

"Yes miss do you want to apply for it?"

"Yes I want that job very badly. How can we finalise it." Way to go Lisa , straight to the point.

"Please visit the office with the resume."

"Okay thank you. I'll be there."

Now I'm 23. In order to have my own pocket money, I work for many part time jobs. In a day I work at two places. Morning I work at the city mall. The job is to clean the mall, in short, mopping. At evening , I serve at a coffee shop. I enjoy my work. I know the value of money because I earn it. Dad says that if we want to have an honorable life , we need to respect and know the value of money. We should never spend money like showers. Only then we'll rise.

"Excuse me I'm Lisa Manoban, the one who applied the job of babysitting." I introduce myself so that they can recognise me.

"Calm down miss. The job is still empty. I remember you." She chuckles.

I handle her the resume.

"Why do you need the job?"

She asks a question that I don't expect, after examining the resume.

"Um... I need money. I like the job too. I'm very fond of babies." I answer sincerely with a wide smile. These are the reasons. Honestly the salary is good too, $20 per day! The job is not tiresome as I am to take care of the baby only. I'm an expert in that.

"Miss I can except you if you quit other jobs."

"What!"

"Yes miss. Because of this, the salary is high."

I try to calculate the profit and loss in the back of my mind.

"Okay I accept it."

"Congrats miss. You are selected. You will start working from tomorrow. This is the address." She handles a piece of paper.

"Oh! thank you, thank you." I'm beyond happy.

On the way home, I quit the two jobs. I thank the owners for their support. Mom and dad are happy to know that I've grown up, I can handle matters. I'm proud of myself.

"Good morning mom, dad."

"Hood mornin, honey."

"Have plenty of breakfast. Babysitting consumes energy." She places the plate in front of me.

"Really? I don't think so."

"By the way, how old is the baby? Is it boy or girl?"

"No idea mom. I'll be going. I don't wanna be late on my 1st day." I hug them and with that paper on my hand, I start my day.

Is this correct?

I look back and forth to the paper and the mansion before me.

Has the woman given me a wrong address by mistake?

I am confused and take out my phone and dial the number.

"Hello. I wanna ask something. I'm Lisa Manoban. Yesterday, the address you had given, is it correct?"

"Yes miss it is correct."

"Oh, sorry for the disturbance."

Wow! I'm going to work here. I still can't believe. Wait! I must confirm first.

I press the button beside the huge gate.

"Who's this?" A man speaks through the small speaker.

"I'm Lisa Manoban. I have applied for the job of babysitting. Is this the address?"

"Yes miss. A man will be there. He'll lead the way."

"Thank..." Before I can say, he cuts off the line.

Suddenly the gates are wide open revealing the magnificent mansion .

"Miss this way", the man shows the path. I follow him like an obedient cat.

My jaw drops when Ienter the luxurious mansion .We have passed around 9 rooms but no sign to stop . Just as I'm about to ask him, he stops before a magnificent, huge wooden door.

"Miss, please enter. Sir is inside."

"Thanks." I appreciate him for showing the way because I know I'll get lost in this mansion with god knows how many rooms.

I reach out my hand to the golden bolt to open the door. When I enter, I see a well built man, facing his back to me. He's standing by the window and enjoying the greenery of the garden. He seems to be deep in thought. He even don't notice me entering.

Shall I call him? Will I disturb his thought? Will he fire me? Why should he fire me? He's been waiting for me.

"Excuse me, sir." I try to let him notice me.

When he faces me, both of our faces have the same expression .
