1 Streets of France

25th September 2022, Wednesday,

Europe, France.

Being an orphaned girl, living in a small room apartment with no money my whole life, it almost felt unreal as I stepped into the most lavish house in France. The Louise Family's mansion. Charles Louise the CEO of CL electronics, the largest bussiness in France, his wife Suzanne Louise and their hotshot son Julian Louise lived in that mansion. I stood at the door still taking in the large house, with a delightful garden filled with colorful flowers. A stiff looking guard approached me. "Are you miss Arriet Delphine?" he spoke. "That would be me" I said with a presenting smile. "Please follow me," he added. I was awestruck as I walked through the hallways. Filled with exquisite paintings, and family potraits on the walls, with the scent of fresh flowers. Finally it lead to a room with a polished wooden door. As the doors creaked open I saw Mrs. Louise sitting on a chair looking proper. "Bonjour madame, I am here for the maid job. Here's my resume" I said handing her a folder. "No need for that. You're hired. You start from tomorrow. Be here 9 AM sharp." she said brushing away the resume. I was perplexed at how easily she accepted me. I was also overjoyed because I finally found a job. At the richest house in France of all places. "Uhm, thank you very much madame. Though I might not be able to be here 9 AM sharp because i have to take a bus 20 minutes from here." I said hoping this doesn't change her mind. "No No, I can't have that. You can live in the cottage we have in our backyard. Nobody uses it anyways." she said simply. "No madame I can't just leave my apartment like that." I said with a nervous chuckle. "Well its either that or you don't get the job. You have until tomorrow. If you want the job then come here with your things tomorrow morning. If not then don't bother coming." she said unbothered. "But I-" before I could finish my sentence the guard escorted me out. As I walkled through the streets I thought to myself, Now what should I do? I really need this job. I barely have money to get by everyday. Besides their cottage must be larger than my one room apartment. Better in quality too. As I reached home I went to the apartment building owner and told him I wanted to sell it. The owner was a nice man who waited past due for me to pay the rent. As I rolled my one suitcase on the road I waved back to the owner. "Merci de votre aide, goodbye!" I said. "au revoir!" he yelled back. I reached the house and knocked on the door. "Let's see how this story goes" I said to myself.
