Umikia Johnson

I frowned when Austin powers didn't show when I had gotten to the gate they opened it not bothered to window check to see  it was me probably familiar by my car already I've been here for four times already and now I'm moved in.

I had parked my car this time in the garage which Mr. Romano told me to do and go into his study. Maids came to greet me and get my suitcases "Ms. Johnson?" I old maid said with soft eyes she was a small 5'2 so I was one inch taller than her "Please Ma'am call me Umikia" I said smiling widely I loved older people  they were so pure "Ah, such a unique beautiful name Umikia My name is Elizabeth Bridgewood the head maid here I'll be taking you to your room then to Mr. Romano's office my husband Edward will be your personal chef please if you want anything feel more than free to ask we will provide it to you. Now Umikia dear follow me" I giggled because she reminded me so much of Mrs. Potts from beauty and the beast with her little hat and uniform.

"Is something wrong dear?" Mrs. Bridgewood asked still walking in front of me I can feel my face heat up being caught giggling like a school girl "Oh I'm sorry Mrs. Bridgewood you remind me so much of Mrs. Potts from beauty and beast have you watched it?" She laughed and stopped walking and opened up the bedroom door laughing quietly "Oh dear I suppose I do, my grandchildren always refer me to her darling character she is you must meet my grandchildren they would love you Umikia" I nodded in complete awe at the bedroom it was big the size of my apartment even complete with a king sized bed in lavender colored silk sheets and a soft cream walls with a canopy like headboard with drapes all around forming a curtain around the sides of the bed.

Mrs. Bridgewood walked in after me going to the closet "Here are your clothes Umikia there are some also new ones Mr. Romano had me fetch for you I did know your size by the interview you sent this is all provided by Mr. Romano so don't worry about paying him back it's in the job" she winked my eyebrows furrowed looking into the walk in closet big enough to be a kitchen designer dresses to designer shoes, to jeans and sweaters, all the way to socks and hats and designer purses.

"Oh this is- way to much for me why did Mr. Romano buy me a new wardrobe?" Mrs. Bridgewood shrugged "Mr. Romano is a very powerful man with very Powerful people in and out his home to watch him, learn from him, and to use him, so when they do show up often at party's Mr. Romano hosts all but everyone is there sometimes even the Queen! What a darling guess she is that's right you need to look the best of the best at all times Umikia Mr. Romano can afford all of this and then some don't worry too much my dear."

I had slowly agreed but still feeling overwhelmed by everything. A new place in a mansion and designer wardrobe what next a sports car with diamond incrusted keys? This was all too much despite all what Mrs. Bridgewood said.

"Well dear here is the bathroom and a balcony in there too but you can explore your room later we need to get you to Mr. Romano's office he's expecting you as soon as possible. 

"He's just a level above you so we will take the elevator to go I'm a old lady and I can't use the stairs like old times" she joked and crossed her hands in front of her. I was so blown away by everything it felt like a dream being here having all of these things happen it j all in a rush I couldn't believe it.

"Mrs. Bridgewood how much does this mansion cover Mr. Romano's property?" She hummed and tapped on her chin a couple of times "last time I checked the entire mansion is 2,396 m² but he has made some more renovations since then added another pool and a massive garden the entire house costs 1.2 billion dollars right now." I has suddenly self conscious about standing in a billion dollar home in a 40$ pant suit from fashion nova. But I smiled nonetheless thanking that I'm here.

"Oh okay so here we are dear his office is the last door in the hallway I got to check up on dinner I will be back to take you back to your room" I stepped out the elevator and thanked her while the sliding glass door closed. 

Last door in the hallway I repeated in my head walking the hallways was long matching dark
Brown doors on each side with no windows just a light from the ceiling it looked straight out of horror movie and I hurried my steps to the end of the hallway.

I could feel something on the back of my neck and I started to run after I felt a slight touch I didn't turn around not wanting to see but I just felt danger. I'd seen the last door which was a deep red and I sprinted to it opening it and slamming it behind me.

"Oh Jesus" I breathed hunching over resting my elbows on my knees and blowing breath throughout my mouth. "Ms. Johnson?" I place a finger up and took a deep breath I shot up when I remembered where I was for a moment to see a very amused Mr. Romano.

"Mr. Romano there is someone outside who was chasing after me I could feel it on the back of my neck I'm sorry I was running for my life a  moment ago." He tilted his head to the side like a confused puppy before chuckling and walking to me. I gulped backing up slightly "Running for your life?" He asked and I nodded.

He walked to the door and opened it walking out to my surprise. I gripped his arm and tried to pull him back in "Mr. Romano I don't think you should go out there I - "Ms. Johnson there is no one out here" "Huh?" I let him go and walked out confused.

"Oh I felt something on my neck I thought it was" I said rubbing the back of my neck staring it to the empty hallway it seemed way shorter than it was when I walked here "It's okay Ms. Johnson everyone feels as this hallway scares them a bit I lived here a long time I'm used to it it's a mind trick not to worry about. Shall we get started?" I nodded still confused

I know what I felt and I'm sure as hell  it wasn't a mind trick. I can sense it somethings wrong.
