Welcome To Yardstin
"Oh no, I've got that." Paige replied and opened the door herself. She could swear Sherman would never succeed in opening Charlotte's door on first attempt, no matter how hard he tries. So, she didn't bother letting him try.
"You must be the Nurse?" Sherman asked.
"Yes please, it's nice meeting you." She replied and offered him a handshake, but received a bow from Sherman instead.
"We've been waiting for you. Welcome ma'am. The booth," he said pointing at Charlotte's booth. "I need to get your luggages inside."
He further said and headed to the now opened booth. They were altogether three heavy boxes and Sherman succeeded in bringing them down from Charlotte's booth.
Paige heaved a sigh of relief seeing that the boxes came down in one piece. While packing the bags, she had tried her best to curtail the number of items she needed to travel with thereby reducing her luggages to just three. Every single item in those boxes were quite important to her so there was nothing she could do about it.
A car horn went off behind her and she turned to see a black BMW accompanied by an SUV drive into the garage just as she stepped onto the front porch of the house. One of the men in the BMW came down and open the door of the SUV to allow an extremely gorgeous man with muscles threatening to burst out through his tight black shit out.
He had the most handsome face Paige has ever seen with hair neatly trimmed. His first action was to look at Charlotte, then Paige.
"I take it that you are my mother's carer? The handsome man asked as he walked up to them.
"Good afternoon sir. Yes, my name is Paige Patterson." She replied stretching out a hand for a handshake which he received. They shook hands briefly before letting go.
"I'm Simon, not Sir. I love to be addressed as Simon." He said in a serious tone. "Sherman!" He called to have the butler bow in response. "Take those boxes to her room and try not to mess up my porch." Sherman nodded and got to work immediately. Then be turned to Paige.
"Do you always pack the whole city with you while traveling?" He asked still keeping a straight face. "Try not to mess up the porch with your numerous baggages. It seems you didn't go through your copy of the contract." He said and started walking away.
"I did," Paige started. "I...."
But Simon was already inside his SUV before she could complete her sentence.
"What kind of human move this fast." She thought to herself.
"Good evening ma'am, may I take you to your room now?" A maid asked, interrupting her thoughts.
She turned, and noticed that her bags have all been moved inside successfully.
"Yes please." She replied and followed the her inside.
Paige gushed at the beauty of the mansion as she was led to her room. Her admiration tripled when she stepped inside her room. If she said the mansion was exquisite while she was still outside, she was a hundred percent correct. Her bedroom further succeeded in proving her right. The details of every single furniture in the room was elegant.
"Would you like me to run a bath for you ma?" The maid asked.
"Oh no, I'm fine. I'll help myself, you can go please." She replied feeling the need to be left alone so as to savor the beauty of her new room. Yes, her room!
"If you need me, just press the white button at your bed side and I'll be at your service." The maid said and bowed slowly before leaving the room.
Once she was gone, Paige bounced on the bed happily. The smooth velvet pillow slip kissed her face and sent beautiful shivers down her spine. The bedsheets and duvet did the lord's work on her skin and she couldn't help but imagine what her skin would feel like after spending three whole months at the Kentleys.
She woke up from her short beauty sleep as a result of whispers from the maids who were in her room to inform her about dinner. Initially, she felt she was dreaming until she opens her eyes and saw them standing beside her, contemplating waking her up or letting her sleep.
"Good evening ma'am. They greeted in unison when they realize she was awake.
Paige sat up immediately recalling that she was not in her room back at Elfer-town. "Is their a problem?" She asked them.
"No ma'am. We just wanted to let you know that dinner will be served in fifteen minutes." Samira, the maid that attended to her earlier replied with a bow.
"Thank you, I'll be downstairs shortly." She told them and they turned to leave.
Once they were gone, Paige made her way to the bathroom. There was so much to unpack and she was happy she got some sleep already. She decided that after dinner, she will get into the business of unpacking her boxes.
Opening the bathroom door, she once again appreciated wealth and luxury. These were two perfect words that could best describe the bathroom she just stepped into. Trying not to wallow in admiration, she quickly took a shower after which she changed into a yellow and orange dress pairing it with her favorite orange fur loafers.
Knotted her hair behind her ears then made headed out to the corridor in a bid to trace her way to the dining hall downstairs.
