After dropping my daughter off at my mom's, I visited my agency, where my manager Tomas offered me a job as governess for Jorge Blanco's two children. I felt nervous since Mr. Blanco is a billionaire businessman with a huge house, which I saw when I drove straight there.

I rang the doorbell and there he was the man himself, Mr. Jorge Blanco, he had brown gelled back hair, and he had a white shirt with black buttons done up while his top button was opened to show the top of his chest along with black trousers and a black belt around his waistband.

Martina: Mr. Blanco?

Jorge: Yes?

Martina: I have been assigned by the governess agency.

Jorge: Yeah, come on in, the boys will be down soon.

I entered the large house and paused in the spacious lounge, glancing around as he sat on the sofa arm in front of me.

Martina: I was told that you will need my service through school hours and after school hours.

Jorge: Yeah, where I own a billionaire business and it's getting harder to be able to work with the boys taking care of them since their mom passed away.

Martina: Has there been anyone here since their mom passed away?

Jorge: No, it's just been the boys and I, well my best friend and his wife help me out occasionally, but it's come to an end where I can't keep depending on them and relying on myself, but don't worry you will get paid a fair share while you are here, there aren't many rules, just when it's school night then the boys go to bed around 9:00 pm.

Martina: Please, Mr. Blanco I understand it's hard bringing children up on your own, I know what it's like.

While we were talking, I heard the children racing down the stairs. They must be full of energy—what does he do to get them so excited? Jorge stood up from the arm of the sofa and welcomed his kids' hugs; they must miss him a lot when he's not around.

Jorge: Boys Calm down, I would like you to meet your new Governess, this is uh...

Martina: I'm Martina Stoessel but you may call me Tini.

Jorge: Welcome Martina, now you have till 8:00 am to eat and sort yourselves out ready for school where daddy must go to work.

Martina: Well, aren't you two handsome? You must take it after your dad?

Jorge: Martina, this is Ethan he is 7 years old, and this is Joshua he is 5 years old, although Ethan is the cheeky one and Joshua is the big-headed one.

Joshua: Dad!!! *Hits his arm playfully*

Jorge: *Laughs* Only joking, Joshua, he's a bit of a know-it-all all.

Martina: Oh, well you must get it from your mom or dad.

Jorge: Certainly, from his mom.

Martina: Well, Ethan and Joshua, why don't we get you some breakfast before Daddy goes to work?

The boys ran into the kitchen before I entered; I needed to ask Jorge a few questions about the job.

Martina: Do you need any documents from me?

Jorge: Just your resumé that's all and contact details, so I can contact you if I am going to be late home or anything.

Martina: Sure, do you need me to move in or am I okay to go home and come back in the morning?

Jorge: Well, it's up to you, if you think it's easy for you to move in or if you think it's easier for you to come back in the mornings then it's up to you, do what's best for you?
