(No one's POV)
The next day Lyla and Priscilla arrived at their client's house, to have a look. What they didn't realize how much of they were in for when they opened the front door.
When they walked in, they were appalled to see the scene that was right in front of their eyes. It was like someone hadn't stayed there in days. The house looked like no one had lived there, cob webs were all over the place. The tiles in the kitchen and the foyer were missing, and cracked.
Lyla looked at Priscilla, she nodded. Without saying anything, Priscilla understood and immediately got on her phone, and called their client that wanted them to decorate her mansion, but failed to mention that tiny detail of the house's appearance and it's condition.

(Priscilla's POV)
After seeing this house, both me and Lyla just looked at each other. Both of us nodded at each other. I understood what she was trying to communicate to me, and immediately dialed our client's phone number.
After a few seconds, the woman picked up, and I explained what the situation was. When I tried to say that we couldn't put a lot of time into this project, as there was no time to.
The woman on the other line was not very happy with what I said, and reminded me, that we had a business contract with me and she had friends in high places, and she could spread the humor that once I promise to design people's houses, that I pull out when the job is a little more work needed then originally discussed", she said.
"But that could ruin my reputation, and ruin my business", I said, pleading with her to change to her mind about spreading that humor.
She didn't care about my business, and said, "Exactly, so are you going to do it, or not", she threatened.
I sighed, "Okay. We'll do it", I hang up, and sighed, "Well, I guess we have no choice, I guess we are going to have to do the job", I said, turning to Lyla. Lyla nodded, and she and I sighed and looked around. "Oh boy. We have a big job to do", we thought, as we started looking around.
