Chapter 4. First day

"Where are you going so early in the morning?" asked Allexin, Lynda's fifteen year old brother. 

Lynda turned around as she finished putting on her shoes, "I'm going to work for your tuition, so study well so that one day you'll have to pay me for what I've done today," she replied. 

"You don't have to work hard for me, I'll try to find work myself." Allexin held Lynda's hand, "The work out there is very dangerous for girls like you, I don't want anything to happen to you," Allexin continued worriedly. 

Lynda let go of the teenager's hand as she smiled, then Lynda looked at Allexin, "You don't have to worry, right now I'm going to pay for your schooling and all you have to do is concentrate on your studies, you have to be more successful than your sister, do you understand? Then I'll go to work," Lynda patted Allexin's face and left their small house. 

"Watch out for the men out there!" Allexin shouted. 

Lynda smiled at Allexin's call, a car stopped in front of Lynda as she left the house, the windshield opened to reveal Hans inside. 

"Get in!" Hans shouted, Lynda nodded and opened the door and got into Hans' car, which would get her to the villa faster. 

"I don't know what I'm going to do there later," Lynda said to Hans who was still driving. 

Hans turned his head and smiled at Lynda, "You'll know when you get to the mansion," he replied. 

Lynda nodded even though her heart was pounding, this was her first time being a maid in a big house serving a young master. Soon Lynda saw the high, towering gates open automatically when Hans' car drove by and close again automatically. 

To be honest, Lynda was very amazed by everything around the mansion, not only the location which is very large, the house is also very luxurious, especially the owner of the house is a handsome man, it's just that in addition to the deformed legs, the owner of the house also looks very terrible despite having a handsome face. 

Not even at work yet, Lynda is already very excited that she will come face to face with Nelvan again. 

Hans' car stopped and Hans invited Lynda to enter the mansion, the house looked very quiet, as if even a heartbeat could be heard by Lynda, a house of this size, where are the residents? Lynda squinted as she followed where Hans took her. 

"Where are the others? Why is a house this big so quiet?" asked Lynda curiously. 

Hans turned to Lynda as he stopped in front of the door, the door was opened by Hans, "They will all come when the young master calls, at that time change your clothes inside, all the clothes you need are in this room, after you have changed meet me because there are some things you should know about the rules in this house," Hans said, Lynda nodded in understanding then she entered the room. 

In the room there were many similar clothes but different colors. There was a closed wardrobe that Lynda opened and she was amazed at the beautiful clothes in the wardrobe but Lynda could not wear beautiful clothes to work so Lynda chose black and white clothes like the maids that were often seen in the movies. 

After changing, Lynda approached Hans to show him the floor plan of the house so that Lynda would not go the wrong way or open the wrong room. 

"There are two rooms in this house that you cannot enter, and if you do, the consequences will be very expensive." Hans showed the parts of the house and then took Lynda on a tour of the house to find out the streets and hallways so as not to get lost. 

"In this house you are obliged to follow the orders given by the young master, you are indeed hired in this house to serve his needs, all maids in this house will do their respective duties including you," Hans explained while showing several parts of the Nelvan mansion. 

 Lynda couldn't hide her amazement at seeing a house the size of a football field, but a house that big, why was it occupied by only one young master? Where was the rest of the family? 

"This is the young master's room, you can't go in there without the owner's permission," Hans said, Lynda looked at the big black door in front of her to make sure she didn't forget. 

Hans then pointed to the room Lynda was not allowed to enter before Lynda saw the owner of the house sitting in a wheelchair relaxing in the garden, behind Nelvan someone was pushing the man's wheelchair. 

Hans approached Nelvan as he took Lynda with him, Nelvan looked at Lynda who was very suitable to wear maid's clothes. Nelvan raised his hand, "You guys go ahead and leave me with this woman," he said. 

Lynda saw Hans and the man pushing Nelvan's wheelchair away, Lynda wanted to go after Hans but she knew she would have to deal with the young master she would be serving. 

"What do you know about working here?" asked Nelvan. 

"I don't know," Lynda replied nervously, "Why are you looking for someone inexperienced for this job when there are professionals already?" she asked back. 

The corner of Nelvan's lips twitched, "I didn't answer your question, now push my wheelchair into the house," he ordered, Lynda nodded quickly to do as Nelvan said. 

"Hans must have explained to you what to do." Nelvan said.

"Hans said to do as you say," Lynda replied as she pushed Nelvan's wheelchair. 

Right now, Lynda had to learn from scratch, because she didn't know anything about this job, nor did she know the will of her young master. But if Nelvan wants Lynda to prepare food or sweep and wash clothes, Lynda can still do that. 

Other than that, whether Lynda can do it or not depends on Nelvan's orders. 

"Where shall I take you?" asked Lynda. 

"This is your first day at work, right?" Nelvan asked back, Lynda nodded yes, then Nelvan continued, "All the maids in this house are on vacation for a few days, so their duties are all yours to take over, you must know what to do after that," Nelvan added with a mischievous smile. 

Lynda looked up at the huge house, "You mean I have to clean a house this big all by myself?" Lynda's eyes widened in disbelief, how many days would it take her to clean such a big house alone?

"You can't do it? If you can't, then you can quit now, but don't expect me to pay you anything," Nelvan was sure that this time the maid he had hired would quit just like the previous ones, without Nelvan expecting Lynda to answer. 

"Who says I can't, I'll clean your house until the dust doesn't even want to stick to the walls," Lynda replied casually, after all she needed money for Allexin's school fees, if she didn't get paid by working here then who would pay Allexin's school fees?

Nelvan smiled, "You can start working today, but if you feel you can't complete your first task, you can leave without my orders," he said, Lynda took a breath, then sighed. 

"I can, you don't think I can do a cleaning job." She said, Nelvan looked over, then Lynda knew she had just misspoken, "I mean I can clean your house, don't worry I'll clean it to a shine if I have to," Lynda said carefully. 

Nelvan nodded in understanding, "I have your word, now take me to the reading room, then you can start your work," Nelvan said, Lynda pushed Nelvan's wheelchair to the designated reading room. 

 "Do you need help getting to the sofa?" Lynda offered. 

 "No need." 

"Do you need a book to get me?" Lynda asked again. 

Nelvan closed his eyes and took a breath, then slowly turned to Lynda, "Don't you remember what I just told you? Do your work as quickly as possible with maximum results, make sure you don't make any mistakes," Nelvan said in a restrained, angry tone. 

Lynda nodded immediately and then walked away before Nelvan's anger came out. Lynda didn't know how terrible the man's anger was, so she did her best not to make Nelvan angry. 

Staring at the mansion, the corners of Lynda's lips twitched, "How can I clean a house this big by myself?" she wondered.
