LaToya's P.O.V

It was almost 6am in the morning. I grabbed my purse and house keys and rushed down the stairs. I tripped on my shoelace, towards the end of the staircase and fell. Thank God I only ended up with some bruises and scratches.

I laced up my white Nike shoes. The ones that caused my little accident. I stood up and smoothened my fitted light blue ripped jeans. I made sure to wear something casual, as my job was pretty easy. A colourful 'Just do it' top, from Nike, fitted light blue jeans and a pair of white Nike shoes.

I had to take a taxi to Aaron's personal mansion. It was my first time being there. It had black grand gates, designed with gold flowers. I pushed the small button beside the gate and waited for one of the security officers to come out. He asked for my name and I told him. He instantly let me in.

I almost fainted. Aaron was surely living a great life. There was a huge stone statue of a peacock. I could see a pool on the rooftop and it looked super luxurious. The mansion was huge. There were two gold statues of lions on the two sides of the door.  I walked over to the door and rang the doorbell. In less than a minute, an old lady opened the door, smiling warmly.

"Well, hello there. I'm guessing you must be LaToya. The new household staff." She ushered me in.

"Yes. I am LaToya." I followed her to the kitchen.

"I'm Mrs Lily Bertrand. I'm the chief household staff." She sat me down on a stool. "I'll teach you the basics. Mr Rayes doesn't get up from bed until 6:30, so you still have 15 minutes to be familiar with the place."

She showed me round some parts of the ground floor.
"And this is where you may stay when Mr Rayes doesn't... require your help. There is no mattress because, it's only for the daytime. Until you close from work everyday." She showed me to a 20m square well- furnished room.

"I love it! Thanks, Mrs Bertrand." I smiled excitedly at her.

"You're welcome, darling." She smiled warmly as she looked at the wall clock. "Oh! It's 6:46! Mr Rayes is definitely awake now."

"I better get going." I started to walk off.

"No!" She stopped me. "You don't just walk into his room on the first day silly!" She laughed.

"So... what do I do?" I was confused.

"He'll call you through the intercom!" She laughed like it was super obvious and written on the walls.

"Oh. I'll go wait in the kitchen." I walked over to the kitchen and sat on a stool. Then, I heard a voice through the intercom.
"LaToya. I need your help." Aaron said.

I pushed the small button for the microphone.
"I'm coming, sir." I said politely, before hurrying upstairs. This house is huge! Where's his room?

"I'm in here, LaToya." He called out from the 10th room on the right from the stairs.

Following his voice, I knocked on his door--- a lesson I had learnt about a week and a half ago--- and waited for his reply.

"Come in." I heard him say tiredly.

I opened the door and walked in.
"Good morning Mr Rayes." I looked down at my feet.

"Yeah. Good morning." He yawned. "You know what? I'm tired, you're tired, let's go for a jog." He sat up straight.

"I'd rather not." I said awkwardly.

"It's your job for today. It's an order, not a suggestion." He seemed so much firmer that at the interview. What's wrong? I thought he wasn't a jerk anymore.

"Ok sir." I sighed.

We both left his mansion to go for a jog down  the street. We got to a Starbucks and he bought a cup of black coffee, for himself and a unicorn frappucino for me.

"I'd say the blue one looks better on you, sir." I said to Aaron. We were at a designer clothing store. A fancy one at that. It had all my favourites: Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuittons, Gucci, Prada, Versace...

"Me too." He added the blue dress shirt to the stuff he was buying. "Now enough about me. I'd like you to try on some clothes."

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no." I shook my head. "I can't accept clothes from my boss. You already pay my salary." I looked down at my feet.

"Ok, then. I won't buy them. I'll only watch a fashion show by you. I'll be your judge. To test how good my fashion sense is." He looked at me while I contemplated.

"Yes, sir." I sighed, accepting defeat.

"Great!" He clasped his huge pale hands together. "Roquelle! Get LaToya some clothes to try on."

"Oh, boy." I sighed as she pulled me away, shoving outfits in my hands as we walked towards the changing room.

I tried on the first outfit--- a hot pink skintight top with light blue skinny jeans--- and walked out.

"You have to strut, LaToya. It's a rule." Aaron smiled. I rolled my eyes and started strutting, while he basically laughed his tongue out. I laughed too, when I tripped on a purse on the floor and landed on my butt.

"Hahaha. Very funny." I yanked his leg so he fell on the floor too.

He stopped laughing. "You're fired."

Hope you enjoyed that chapter. I haven't updated in ages, because of my exams, and I'm really sorry about that, but exams are over now, so....

Anyways, that's that...
