His new job

    Kelvin walked around looking sulky. His head was swelling with emotions. It had been a month since Grandma's burial yet he had no job. 

      Justin. had asked him to refund the money in three months and he had just two months left.

       ""Goodness, what am I going to do?"" He thought to himself.

        He was so lost in his thoughts that he did not realise that he bumped into something and knocked it down.

          ""Oh oh."" He quickly raised it to its position. It was a signboard advertising for the position of a personal assistant.

      His eyes widened. He quickly jotted down the address and scurried home.

       ""Jacky guess what?"" He said excitedly.

         ""What is it now?"" Jacky asked arching his brow.

          ""I'll be going on a interview tomorrow. I just saw a job vacancy and I'll be going there tomorrow for an interview."" He beamed.

        ""That's great news."" Jacky beamed.

       ""So tomorrow you are going to stay Alexander till I get back.""

         Jacky pouted.

       ""Now don't be grumpy, I might not be allowed to go in with you. Try to understand me, I really need this job."" He explained.

         ""Fine."" Jacky sighed.

       ""Okay, let me go prepare something for you.""

             The next day, Kelvin was in a rush to get himself prepared for his interview.

          ""Oh my goodness, Jacky what am I going to do?""

        Jacky rolled his eyes and slapped his forehead.

           ""Really Kelvin? Do not tell me you are all cracked up because you do not know what to wear?"" Jacky blinked in surprise.

          ""Of course, I am."" Kelvin looked at Jacky who had a funny expression on his face.

        ""Why don't you choose what I wear?"" Kelvin told him.

       He nodded and went to the bed. Kelvin's clothes were on the bed and all over the place.

        ""Yikes! Your room is so messy."" Jacky shook his head.

          ""I'll clean it up."" Kelvin replied.

        Jacky pulled out a short-sleeved blue shirt and black pants.

        ""Here you go."" He gave them to Kelvin who hurriedly put them on.

       ""Thank you so much Jacky, what would I do without you?""

           He put on a pair of black sandals. He rushed to the door.

            ""The room!"" Jacky sounded.

           ""Oh right."" He rushed back into the room and pulled out a hamper from the closet. He put all the clothes in it and pushed it aside.

          ""Bye Jacky. See you later.""

         ""What about Alexander?"" 

        ""I can't explain now, I'll tell you."" He bumped into someone, ""Ouch!"" 

          Alexander looked at him with a scowl.

         ""Oops, sorry. I'll catch up with you later. Take care of Jacky for me!"" He ran out through door.

           ""Hmph."" Alexander raised his nose in annoyance.

          Jacky was already down in the floor in giggles.

            ""That's Kelvin alright.""

      Kelvin hurried to take a cab. It took to the place of his interview.

     When he arrived he could not help gaping. The gates were golden! The gates rolled open and they entered the compound.

         Flowers were planted along the pathways and it had tall leafy trees too. The The inside was screaming wealth and fancy. The sidewalks were made of tile, wide and well maintained and landscaping along the sides.

        The sidewalk was beautifully architected. It ranged from climbing vines of variegated monstera to the hanging baskets of the rare Maiden Hair Fern.

      There was a fountain to the right, and the  driveway was exquisite.

      Kelvin alighted from the car, paid the taxi driver his money and sold walked towards the mansion.

        The doors to the mansion were made of glass and worked automatically.

        He entered inside still in awe and literally gaped at everything. 

         ""Who are you?"" A sonorous voice asked jolting Kelvin out of his reverie.

         ""I, came for interview."" Kelvin turned to look at the redhead who looked at him with dark eyes.

       ""You applied huh?"" The redhead sauntered down the stairs with his hands in his pant pockets.

        Kelvin went nervous, ""I did.""

      The redhead came close until they looked each other in the eye.

        ""You."" He was interrupted by someone.

           ""Ralph, leave him alone.""

       An elderly man stood behind them with five guards behind him.

         Kelvin squinted his eyes. He was in the house of the Mayor!

       Shock and surprise filled him. He gulped down nervously.

          ""Good morning sir."" He said nervously.

          The Mayor looked his way, ""Why are you here young man?"" 

            ""I am here to apply for the job sir."" He kept his head bowed.

          ""Ralph leave us."" The Mayor said.

         Ralph growled and left. The Mayor gave his guards a sign and they left.

            ""Sit down young man."" He directed him.

         ""Thank you sir."" Kelvin sat down.

      The Mayor cleared his throat.

       ""Well it seems you're the only responsible young adult who has applied for thus job. The rest are knuckleheads."" The Mayor hardened his face.

            ""I hope you are not like them."" He raised his chin.

           ""No sir, I will try my best in every single way to be as responsible as possible."" He crossed his fingers nervously.

            ""You're to assist my last daughter."" He said firmly.

           Kelvin creased his brows, he had to assist the Mayor's last daughter?

       He twisted his lips but could not object because this was his only hope for a job.

           ""Okay sir."" He said quietly.

        ""Mmh.. have you done this before?"" The Mayor asked him.

          ""Not really sir."" 

         He sighed, ""I don't have any other option, do I?""

           Kelvin shook his head lightly, confused.

             ""You get the job.""

           Kelvin raised his head to look at him, his eyes beaming with excitement.

             ""Thank you so much sir."" His eyes were filled with gratitude.

           ""You start now."" He said firmly.

       Kelvin was puzzled, ""Now sir?"" He blinked his eyes in surprise.

           ""Or you don't want it anymore."" 

       Kelvin sighed deeply, ""I want the job sir.""

          The Mayor stood up and called out.

        ""Sandra.""

           ""Yes sir?"" A female voice replied and a young lady ran to him.

           ""Take this man to Anna's room."" He ordered.

           ""Yes sir."" She nodded.

         She turned to look at him and she gulped.

          ""Follow me."" She said quietly.

        Kelvin followed her, this was the start of another journey.
