Interview?

Ok, Not that huge but absolutely breathtaking.

I said looking at the very beautiful house. No not house but a mansion after I get off from the cab.

This is probably one of the most beautiful mansion that I saw in London so far.

I say a quick thank you to the driver and absentmindedly straightened my black long sleeve shirt that I wear for this interview. Jayjay suggested pairing it with a fit skirt but I fight him, literally, because I'm really not a fan of wearing skirt or dresses so I partner the shirt with a nice grey fitted jeans and brown boots.

Yep this is 100% Sierrah Madre Style. Jayjay just roll his eyes while looking at me.

I let my black long hair flow freely down my back and for my face, which Jayjay win battling to me, he just apply some mascara and nude lipstick. Thanks God.

I take a deep breath and ready a smile. I walk and presses the small button that I saw in the huge and classic gate that they have and wait for anyone who will answer me.

"Lockhart residence who's this?"

I gasp when I suddenly heard a voice coming from the gate. High Tech.

"T-this is Sierrah De Luna, I am here for an interview for a home based teacher."

I wait for a minute until I heard again the voice and sound of the opening gate.

"We're expecting you Miss De Luna, please come inside."

I nervously walk inside and my eyes went wide when I saw the landscape at the front of the mansion. There are a lot of flowers and plants, the path are carpeted with Bermuda grass, there's also a fountain with a statue of a Greek God holding a jar where the water flows.

My God this is so beautiful!
People living in here are surely rich.
I gulp again and wipe my sweaty palms in my jeans.

I stop gawking like a dumb in the garden when I reach the huge wooden door.

It suddenly open and an expressionless tall man, with a blond bald hair and sharp blue eyes greeted me. He's wearing a white long sleeve, a black blazer and black pants.

Wow I saw a butler in real life!

"Miss De Luna, please come in."

"Ahm, T-thank you sir."

I walk and my eyes went wider.

My gosh! am I really so poor to see beautiful house only today in my entire life?

The interior are classy and modern. Most are in color black, white and blue. This house screams a personality of a rich, powerful and dominant person, why is it looks like a house of a bachelor man? There's no trace of woman touch or something about family and kids?

I stop questioning myself when the butler leads me towards an office room.

When we are sitting he open a small folder and look at it while nodding.

"Maria Sierrah De Luna, you are actually suggested by the agency to us. You're credentials are really impressive."

"Thank you sir--"

"Oh no. no please don't call me sir I am also an employee in here. Silly me, I forget to introduce myself, I am Theodore Green, but please call me Ted, Mr. Lockhart assigned me to overall manage this mansion as well as of course taking care of his only son, Master Triston."

I return his smile and we shake hands.

"It's really nice to meet you Ted."

"In behalf of Mr. Lockhart we want to apologize if he doesn't here to interview you personally, He is really a busy man and most of the time he's in the city where his office located."

"Oh I see. I really don't mind, I understand that Mr. Lockhart is a very busy man."

I say while scanning my eyes inside the room.
So busy making money to continue this kind of extravagant lifestyle.

Ted sighs. "Yes, he's so busy and sometimes it's worrying us for the young master."

He softly says but I still hear him. I look at him. Sensing my questioning eyes he clears his throat and picks another folder, open it and handle it to me.

"The secretary-- I mean Mr. Lockhart studied already your credentials and approved you being the home based teacher of young master Triston--"

hearing those words my eyes narrow because of joy.

Yes, I got the job!

But before I continue my inside celebration,

"---But Mr. Lockhart suggested to give you a 1week provision, like a trial test, starting tomorrow where you will teach, Master Triston until Friday."

I look at him in wonder. 1 week provision? A trial test? What the heck is this? A product testing in some sort of online game?

"We really want to have a teacher for master Triston, and we really want you Miss De Luna, but I will be honest to you. The one week provision will help you decide if you will pursue this job, We don't want to repeat what happened to those previous teachers who resign immediately."

I blink twice, thrice. They resign immediately? But why?

Ok Sierrah what kind of job you got into?
