There are many people with money, others with less, some people have good experiences, others not really.
This is the story of a girl with light brown hair, curly, white skin and green eyes. Beautiful a girl like any other lives in a humble, small house, with two rooms, a house that is a little old.
Bela had just arrived from the university, went to change clothes until she heard the cell phone ringing.
On the other side of the phone, a thick, menacing voice was heard.
-Good night, Bela Smith! -In that instant Bela was dumbfounded to hear your name by a voice she had never heard before. -No matter who I am, I'm just calling to say that your father has until the morning to pay us the debt he owes us, otherwise something will be taken from him.
The person behind the phone hung up without even letting him say a single word. She stood still, her mind stopped for an instant, there is no way for anyone to process that information that fast.
Bela spent 5 minutes processing what had just happened, that's when she decided to get a job.
A few days ago I had seen the proposal for a job, as a maid in a mansion, for some rich man. She didn't think twice, grabbed her cell phone and looked for the number she had already saved on her cell phone, barely found it, but as soon as she started calling, a certain nervousness rose in her stomach, someone on the other end of the line spoke . It was a woman's voice, perhaps one of the maids.
-Here it talks about the King mansion. What do you want?
-O-Hello, I called because of the ad looking for a maid. Is the job still available?
-Yes, the interview is in the morning at King's Mansion at ten in the morning. Do you want me to put you on the interview list?
-Yes please.
-I'll need some information.
-Yes, you can ask.
-What is your name?
-Beautiful Smith.
-What is your age?
-19 years old.
-And it all. Don't be late, here we are very strict with punctuality.
-Y-yes.
The maid on the other end of the line hung up the call. Bela took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. He put it in his head that nothing could be worse. It was at that moment that she called her father, she knew he might not answer, but it would be worth it.
He made several attempts, and he didn't even answer. A sigh was released from his lips, it is not as if he had hopes, but for once, it was not difficult to answer, especially when he leaves a debt to his daughter.
Finally, she decided to ignore what happened, went to the bathroom and went to take a bath of hot water, nothing left her more peaceful than that wonderful shower, the bath always left her thoughtful, it was there that she dreamed of eyes open and imagined the future and sometimes remembered the mother's comforting smile.
As soon as the shower ended, she put on a blouse and the bottom of her underwear and let herself fall asleep, overcome by the tiredness of that day.
The next day she woke up surrounded by the sunlight, looked at the time on her cell phone, still with a sleepy face and saw 08:00, there was no hurry yet there were two hours to go before the interview. He got up, did his hygiene, as he knew he would have to have another posture, due to the work he had proposed, decided to wear elastic jeans, a tight half-sleeve blouse, and sneakers, tied his hair in a ponytail, she put on a little makeup, very little, simple, had breakfast and left around 9:30 am. She put the headphones on her ears and did her normal journey, she knew from memory where King's mansion was, anyone knew where it was, and anyone knew that you couldn't get in there like nothing was, you were protected by maximum security, no I wondered if they were the richest family.
Bela walked leisurely, as soon as she arrived in front of the mansion, she had to wait about 10 minutes, as there were procedures to be followed to enter the mansion, she needed to call the mansion's chief maid, who was responsible for pointing out information about the candidates. , would have to undergo a search, to be sure that it did not carry anything that could be deadly.
After the search, all the candidates entered through one of the rear doors that was guarded by one of the guards, that door led to a very long corridor, where there were some chairs, the candidates sat waiting for their turn, each one was called by name and number given to her by the chief maid.
Many went out crying, but no one outside knew why, at that moment Bela started to panic, until she heard herself calling:
-Number 12, Bela Smith.
Bela got up from her seat and started walking with a tense body, due to the nervousness she felt, until she entered the room.
-Good morning, Bela Smith. - A male voice spoke.
-B-Good morning! -Bela was so nervous that she didn't even know how to hide the nervousness in her voice. She took a deep breath, failed to calm her heart, but managed to calm her nervousness.
-Tell me why you want to apply for this job. The male voice spoke in a curious tone.
-Yes, in fact I chose to apply for this job out of necessity, we can say that not everyone can have everything with a kiss, sometimes life decides to play with us.
The man who used to be behind the desk, now had his face very close to Bela, could feel his deep breath, his eyes fixed on hers.
-You are fascinating, nobody has ever spoken to me like that before, so you will work for me. -He goes to the head maid, pointing at Bela. -Put her on top of everything, she will be my new maid.
-But ... -The head maid was interrupted by Jack leaving the room.
Bela is shocked by what had just happened, but "all right", she thought, after processing the event, the head maid did not try to question any more, all the other participants were sent away by the other maids, who passed them on the information that they had already found who they needed and that the interviews were closed, because of that.
The head maid went to Bela and said:
-Belle Smith, in the morning you have to be at the mansion at 08:00 am, don't be late, in the morning we will give you your uniform, have a good day.
The head maid withdrew from the room. Bela did not say a single word, also left the room and walked calmly to the university.
The day went by, and with him all the thoughts that went round her head after the interview, the rest of the day was normal, except for the fact that she couldn't get her new boss's memory too close to her face.
The classes were normal, the morning passed and with it the afternoon, Bela made her same routine trajectory, passed through the park, which smelled a pleasant smell of flowers in the air. When he got home, he leaned against the sofa, until there was a knock on the door. With the sudden noise he fell off the couch, he didn't even have time to get to the door, because they opened it with a single kick.
-Beautiful Smith? He called out a loud, thick voice, of a tall, bald man who didn't seem to be playing games.
Bela got up from the front of the sofa and spoke in a shaky voice.
-Y-I'm-me.
The man approached her and spoke.
-I don't want to hurt you, I just want to talk, I also have a daughter and I wouldn't like it if she had to pay for my mistakes.
The man sat on the sofa next to Bela, and spoke quietly.
-Do you know where your father is?
-Sorry, but I don't know. I tried to call you several times but you never answer your phone. - He said with a sad air.
-Does he have anything of value?
-No, he is a bastard, but he is still my father, if you want I will pay you the debt, but it will have to be in installments.
-You're a good girl. Said the man rubbing her head. -We will look for you and make you pay up to the last cent. He closed his fist in anger.
-Please do not hurt him, I know he is a bit of an idiot and does not do things with his head, but he is still my father and the only person I have. -Asked Bela.
-I promise, I always keep my word.
The man left the house, but first put the door in place with his two henchmen who had been waiting at the door.
The light came into the room and with it the sweet melody of the 6:30 alarm music. Like every morning, he got up, took a hot shower, did all his personal hygiene and got dressed as usual, some stretchy jeans, a blouse and sneakers, his hair tied up in a ponytail. He ate his breakfast and went on his normal route.
Once he reached the front of the mansion he spoke to a security guard, who gave him a maid's card, which he had been ordered to make the day before, he made his way to the back door, where the head maid was.
-Good morning! -Smiled Bella cheerfully.
-Good morning, Bella! -replied the head maid kindly. -I am Maria do Carmo and I am the head maid, my job is to teach and govern the other maids, here is your uniform, you must always be clean, ironed and well dressed. -He handed her a black dress that should reach halfway down her shins, a white apron with frills, and a white hair band with frills. -Come with me, I'll teach you your job.
Maria guided Bela to a room with different lockers.
-This is the women's locker room, each of us has our own locker, we also have showers for those who wish to bathe. If you don't mind, change your clothes so I can show you your chores and everything else.
-Yes. -Bela changes into her uniform.
Maria points to a scoreboard on the locker room wall.
-Do you see that sign there?
-Yes. What's it for?
-That's where the monthly schedule of each employee is posted. -Finishes Maria. -Let's continue. -Maria leads Bela to the entrance hall. -This is the main entrance hall, everything has to be always, but always clean. -Walks a little further and leads to a large hall. -This is the ballroom, sometimes there are parties here, everything must always be clean. -He went back into the hall and up the stairs, stopping at the beginning of a corridor that led to a huge hall. -In short, everything here has to be always clean, all the tasks of each individual maid have to be carried out with perfection. And now I will take you to the Master, you must always call him Master. -Maria guided her to a large door that was complete with two doors. She knocked on the door and only entered when she heard a confirmation.
-Say Maria. What do you want? -Speaked Jack.
-Master, I have brought the new girl to see you.
-Thank you, you may retire.
-Yes, Master.
Maria withdrew from the room closing the doors behind her, Bela stood with her back to the closed door behind her, and Jack was at the other end in front, behind a desk.
-Come closer.
-Yes.
She walked over until she was behind the chair that faced the desk.
-Sit down. -Appointing to the chair.
-Yes.
-You know since yesterday I was curious to know who you are, until I did a little research and found out that, you're 19 years old, your mother died three years ago, and your father is a man riddled with debt. -He came out from behind his desk and leaned against the desk in front of Bela. -You have no relatives. But what made me most curious was the fact that you are so direct. -He leaned his face against hers. -How do you do it?
-W-What? -She asked nervously.
-No one had ever answered me like that. -He got up and stood behind her. -I'm intrigued, I'm looking forward to us having some fun. -Speaks in a provocative tone.
-No, say that. It doesn't make any sense. -Speaks nervously.
-I like it. -Speaks in a more serious tone. -I've had my fun, now let's talk about work, you work 8 hours a day, at first you start with a number of tasks, as you complete them well and perfectly, we will increase the tasks and with them your salary. If you want, since you are a student and I am curious, if you want you can live here in the mansion. I just need you to sign here.
Bela signs and Jack speaks in a provocative tone.
-You are now officially my maid. -He hands her a piece of paper. -This is your monthly schedule. You can start, ask Maria to teach you.
-Yes. -Confirmed Bela.
Bela left Jack's office with her heart racing. She looked carefully at the schedule and began her tasks. Little by little everyone started chatting with her, everyone spoke to her in the nicest terms. The day went by and Bela couldn't get the image of Jack so close to her out of her mind.
Finally it was time for her to leave until the head maid came up to Bela and told her:
-Bela, Master told me to let you know that the chauffeur was going to take you to his house and would return with him afterwards with your things to the mansion.
-Yes, it is true. Today Mestre told me about this possibility of staying in the mansion. - She speaks a little confused.
Maria puts her hand on his shoulder and says:
-Don't worry, I will help you with whatever you need. I'll be here waiting for you for when you come back.
-Thank you so much, for everything. See you then. - He thanks her with a smile from ear to ear.
Bela did so, went with the chauffeur to her house, packed everything up, and before leaving, looked one last time at what was her house, currently empty. Tears began to well up in her eyes as she remembered everything she had lived through in that house. He remembered the times he was close to his mother, laughing, crying, when he needed her most, he remembered how his father was before, when his mother was still alive, and what he became after her death.
After recalling all these memories she got into the car and made her way to what would become her new life.
Bela arrived at the mansion by car, as she got out of the car the head maid came up to her.
-Bela, come with me, I'll show you what your car will be.
-Yes, Dona Maria.
The head maid guided Bela to the room, which was located in a separate building, which was only for the employees. Upon reaching the room they both entered.
-Bela, we the maids don't eat with the masters, here in the dormitory we have a social room where we all talk and relax, we have bathrooms, the men and the women have separate bathrooms, we have the cleaning of the dormitory which is in turn, each of us cleans his own room, which always has to be spotless. We also have a shared kitchen.
-Yes, Doña Maria.
-If you need help or have any questions, you can always look for me and ask me.
-Thank you very much, Doña Maria.
After all the explanation, the head waitress left. Bela admired her new room. Finally she looked at the boxes packed in the corner of the room and began to unpack everything.
She started by folding and putting away her clothes in the closet, she put her shoes in the closet shoe rack, she organized her university stuff, as she took some books out of one of the boxes, a picture fell out, she picked up the picture, as she looked at the picture tears started streaming down her face. The photo was of her with her mother and father, from three years ago.
Bela sat on the floor with the photo in her hands and stood crying.
Moments later Jack saw the bedroom door open and decided to go in, when he looked he came across Bela in the dark, clutching the photo crying. So he entered the room and sat on Bela's bed, without her noticing his presence.
Time passed, until Jack got bored and said:
-You will stay there clinging to that photo crying forever.
Hearing his voice, she got up from the floor, wiped her tears and said, still in a voice of one who had been crying:
-Master, when did you come in?
-If you hadn't been crying so deeply you would have noticed my presence. - He speaks with a friendly aggressive tone.
-I apologize for not noticing your presence, Master!
-Don't worry about it, it's not important. What's in this photo that made you cry so much? -he asks in a friendly way.
-This photo was taken three years ago, in it are me, my late mother and father. -she answers with sadness in her eyes.
-I understand! -he affirms understandingly. -I actually came here to talk to you.
-With me? Say it. -Disconfident.
-The head maid is my personal maid, but I don't think she's old enough to have so many responsibilities on top of her, so I talked to her, and she indicated to me that you Bela Smith would be the best choice for the job. -Proposing.
-Let me get this straight, you want me to be your personal maid? But I just started today. How can you make a choice like that out of the blue? -You ask because you are confused.
-Basically, yes. I like people with no experience yet, and the way you spoke yesterday at the interview, I found you intriguing. I'll be right there. Then ask the head waitress about your duties.
Jack left the room and Bela stopped crying and continued her tidying up. After a few hours of tidying up, she left the room to find the head maid. She walked into the hallway, as she walked she came across one of the maids.
-Good evening! Excuse me!
The maid turned around and with a rude tone spoke:
-What do you want?
-I'm sorry to bother you. But have you by any chance seen the head maid? -Bela asked politely.
-The head maid? -Thinking -I think I just saw her. But why? -Speaks arrogantly.
-I needed to talk to her.
-I don't care.
The maid turned her back on her and walked away. Bela ignored her arrogance and continued looking for the head maid, she went to the living room, she didn't see her, she went to the kitchen, she didn't find her either, so she decided to look outside. When he reached the outside he heard a call.
-Hey you, new maid. -Called a thick voice.
-Is it me? -He asked a little confused.
-Do you see anyone else here?
Bela went to where the voice was, she looked at the man in front of her and realized that she had seen him before.
-You are not that man who broke into my house looking for my father.
-It's me. -Confirmed the man in a pleasant manner.
-What are you doing here?
-I work here.
-You work here? -Puzzled question.
-I work for the King family. -Told the man.
-So my father owes a debt to the King family? -He asked in a sad voice.
-Yes. But now, changing the subject, how is the work going?
-Normal, I guess. Earlier Master Jack came to my room to tell me that I was to be his new personal maid, when I just started today. I guess everything is moving too fast. I was looking for the head maid, but I can't find her. -He blurts out.
-Master Jack? How rare that she doesn't usually come to speak to the employees personally, she usually sends someone. -Surprised.
-Well, I don't know. I'd like to find the head waitress and talk to her.
-She's not here, she left a while ago, she said she had some business to take care of. When she comes I can give her the message.
-Ok, thank you very much. -Thank you. -I still don't know your name.
-Anthony Evans.
-Thank you very much, Anthony.
Bela left, she started walking to the garden that was in front of the dormitory, she sat on the edge of the fountain looking at the moon, which that night illuminated even the deepest darkness.
