Chapter 3. Chosen a maid

A house so large that the courtyard was as vast as a palace garden. Lynda's lips parted in amazement at the sight of the mansion. 

"They're so rich, but why is the salary only two thousand dollars?" Mia muttered, Lynda turned to look at her best friend, but Lynda did not say anything because she did not know the reason either. 

There were about eight people who had passed the first stage of the selection, and now it was time to go face to face with the owner of the house who would choose one of the eight maid candidates. 

"Do you think the young master's face is like a handsome Disney prince? He's very rich, but I wonder if his face is as beautiful as a prince's?" Mia muttered again beside Lynda. 

"We'll see the young master later, so be patient, we just need to wait a few more minutes," Lynda whispered. 

Mia nodded, then someone named Hans led them into the mansion. 

"You can wait here for a moment, I will call the young master to come," Hans said before leaving the maid candidates. 

"I heard that the young master in this mansion had a failed marriage, so he needs to vent his anger over what happened to his future wife," someone whispered behind Lynda. 

"They say he's also disabled, if we qualify to be his servants, will we be able to last a month? Many say he's also very cruel and now I'm hesitant to continue being a maid here, it's just that the demands of my life that need this money can't avoid work."  

Mia turned to look at the two women whispering behind her, "Will you shut up? If he heard what you just said, who knows what will happen to you next!" Mia said and the woman snorted. 

Lynda held back a smile until soon Hans came pushing someone in a wheelchair, for a moment Lynda was amazed at the figure of the man sitting in his wheelchair, he was indeed handsome like a prince in a Disney fantasy, it's just that his face was very cold, not as friendly as a prince in a fairy tale. 

Unconsciously Lynda clenched her hands nervously, she had not expected to be chosen by this man. Just by looking at his face, Lynda seemed to be able to imagine what would happen if she was chosen. 

"He is young Master Nelvano Xander, Master Nelvan will choose one of you to be his servant," Hans introduced. 

Many of the people who had come with Lynda were silent and then Nelvan spoke. 

Those who do not want me to choose please leave," Nelvan said in a tone that was not at all friendly, there were three people who immediately turned to leave the place, then Nelvan continued, "and the person I choose will get more pay than informed," he added. 

Lynda held her breath and grew nervous, she wanted to turn around and go after the other three people who had already left. But she needed money too, her younger brother was at school and needed money, while in her family only Lynda was responsible for earning a living. 

A deep sigh escaped Lynda's lips, her younger brother needed the money more for school fees. So she should be able to choose, after all working as a maid is not a despicable job. 

Nelvan looked at the remaining five people, four of them were looking down, while there was one who dared to look at him openly. 

Hans cleared his throat to wake Lynda, the woman looked at Nelvan boldly as if challenging, Lynda turned to Hans where the man asked Lynda to look down and Lynda who understood immediately looked down while looking at Mia, but the two did not say anything to each other. 

They bowed as if in a moment of silence, and Nelvan smiled wryly. It seemed as if he had already found the person who would serve him, whether the girl could survive a month working in this place or not. 

"What is your name?" said Nelvan. 

Because she was looking down, Lynda didn't realize that she was the one Nelvan was pointing at. 

"I said what's your name!" Nelvan repeated angrily, he didn't like being ignored and on the first day of meeting Lynda he had to repeat the same sentence just to ask for a name. 

Mia elbowed Lynda's arm until the girl looked at Mia as if to ask "What's wrong?", then Mia coded Lynda to look at Nelvan who was talking to the man. 

"You're asking me?" Lynda asked back. 

"You can all come out except you!" Nelvan pointed at Lynda, the girl's eyes widened in shock as she saw Mia and the others coming out, Mia patted Lynda's arm. 

"Congratulations, I hope you survive." Mia said resignedly. 

"Mia, why are you..." 

"Stop, you stay here," Nelvan said holding Lynda who was about to catch up with the four people coming out. 

Hans told Lynda to turn around, "You can't catch up with them, you have to stay here until the young master is done with you." Hans said in a low tone so that Lynda would not run away. 

Feeling palpitations of fear, Lynda turned to look at Nelvan. 

"The young master asked for your name." Hans reminded her. 

Lynda twisted her fingers nervously, seeing that this made Nelvan smile slightly, it seemed that this young girl in front of him had no work experience at all. 

"My name is Lynda," Lynda said. 

Lynda's mind was now confused, she was alone in this place without Mia, even though Lynda thought she would be working with Mia, but who would have thought that only one would be chosen and that was her. The nervousness made Lynda even more uncomfortable, having no experience in serving someone was certainly not an easy job for a beginner like her. Besides, the person Lynda would be serving was a young master with a face as cold as the ice at the North Pole. 

"Come tomorrow morning, you can start working from tomorrow, and remember one thing, I don't like tardiness," Nelvan said, not knowing why Lynda immediately nodded because of the man'.

Hans pushed Nelvan's wheelchair away from Lynda, a sigh of relief escaped the girl's lips, Lynda thought she was going to die standing there staring at the man named Nelvan, the man's pair of eyes staring like he was about to pounce on prey. 

Lynda walked out of the mansion, walking leisurely as she thought about what she would do after this. She should be happy to have graduated, but somehow it made her feel quite scared to work in a mansion with a horrible young master like Nelvan. 

"Miss Lynda," Hans called, Lynda turned her head. 

Hans walked a little to Lynda, "Can I have your cell phone number so I can let you know when you're coming tomorrow?" Hans said. 

"Sure." Lynda then took the man's cell phone and copied his cell phone number onto it. The man looked at Lynda. 

"Are you nervous?" asked Hans, Lynda nodded as she gave Hans his cell phone back, Hans smiled then the two of them walked towards the gate, "Young Master is like that, so there's no need to be afraid, he's actually a good person, it's just that since he had a problem a few months ago he's become a grumpy person, I hope you can put up with his nature when you start your work tomorrow morning." 

Lynda stopped walking and looked up at Hans who was taller than her, "Am I going to die working in this house? I heard that there have been a few maids who have worked for young Master Xander, but they never lasted a month. If I work there, I won't die, right? I still have a younger brother to support," Lynda said. 

Hans chuckled amusedly, "Take it easy, if the young master dares to kill you, I will try to take your side." 

"I don't believe it, you work for him, you must be on his side," Lynda said. 

Hans laughed even more amused until Mia called out. 

"Lynda!" Mia waved her hand. 

"My best friend is waiting, so excuse me," Lynda said. 

"Don't forget to come tomorrow morning, I'll call you," Hans said, Lynda just nodded in agreement before she ran over to Mia and the two girls excited Nelvan's large yard. 

"Poor girl, I hope you can handle Nelvan's temper." Hans muttered before returning to the mansion.
