It was 1:30 in the morning when Sebastian Michaelis was interrupted from his nightly duties by a knock on the door.
"Whoever could it be at this hour?" He wondered as he went to the front door. He took a sigh before opening the door. A woman stood there smiling up at him. She had a perfect figure and was adorned with unnaturally attractive features - like a bisque doll. It seemed she was rather aware of this fact as she had decided to wear quite a revealing and provocative dress that stopped just before her knees. She pursed her lips and cast her eyes on him.
Removing a few strands of her auburn hair from her view she began," Good day to you sir. My name is Mabel Gladstone and I have come here to request a job of some sort. Are you in need of any extra hands sir?"
Sebastian refrained from letting a look of annoyance cross his face. He had to follow his butler aesthetic after all. Instead he held back his fury at being interrupted for some trivial matter and answered the lady.
"First of all, I may have to correct you there as it is still very much night time. Moving on, the young master won't allow me to employ someone without doing a thorough background check and assessing their abilities. If it isn't any trouble would you mind following me to the kitchen where we shall conduct the interview?"
"Thank you very much and it's no problem at all Mr...?"
"Oh due excuse me! It seems I have not introduced myself. My name is Sebastian Michaelis and I am head butler of the Phantomhive manor. If you would follow me now it would be greatly appreciated." He said, his voice laced with impatience. After letting the young lady inside he quickly darted towards the kitchen but to his utter disappointment she was able to keep up with his pace. He sat them both down and began to prepare some tea.
"Do you drink tea Miss. Gladstone?" He asked as he put the tea leaves into the pot and began to boil the water.
"No not really." She answered staring at her nails.
"Is there any beverage you would prefer?"
"No it's completely fine. I just want to finish my interview."
"Very well then. Let's start." He said, abandoning the tea he had been in the process of making. He sat down at the kitchen table with her not before retrieving a small book from one on the top kitchen shelves. He flicked through the yellowed pages before landing on a page with the title 'Employee questions for analysis.'
"First question: do you have any experience in doing household chores and cleaning duties?"
"I've never been in a position where I have to but I'm sure I'll be fine if I'm shown once or twice."
'Just great another incompetent one!' Sebastian grimaced.
"And how devoted would you be to this role?"
"Very devoted." She said whilst looking away. She instantly thought to the surprise on his face when she would be gone the next morning. Then she gave a secret smile that went unnoticed by the butler as he sat thinking.
"Mmmn.... and, how good are you at combat? Can you fight, attack, defend?"
"I'm fine with any trouble that comes my way it is not a requirement for you to know my fighting techniques."
"Interesting Miss. Gladstone. One final question: how do you cope with death?"
The woman - Mabel - gave him an odd look, but then smiled eerily and said cheerfully," I hope you'll be pleased to find that I cope with death very well. One might even say it's a daily occurrence in my life." She smirked knowingly like she'd just said the punchline of the best joke in the world.
However, her smirk went unnoticed as Sebastian decided to ignore her to think again. After a moment he stood up and sighed,"Very well Miss. Gladstone. I see you fit enough to be a servant here. You can stay here for the night but I shall have to confirm your position with the young master tomorrow. In the meantime I shall be showing you where you shall be staying tonight."
"Ok Mr. Michaelis. Thank you again for the opportunity."
They arrived to the servants corridors and Sebastian lead her to the room at the very end. "This shall be your room for tonight. Mine is right next to yours so if you need anything you may ask me. DO NOT enter any of the other rooms. They belong to the other servants who are asleep right now and I would much prefer for it to stay that way. If that is all then I bid you goodnight Miss. Gladstone." He said and with that he entered his own quarters, shutting the door with a thud.
Mabel entered her room as her eyes began to glow.
"Tonight is all the time I'm going to need."
