"Can you cook?"
"Um, I can bake."
"Can you sweep and mop?"
"Yes, I can do that."
"Why do want to become a maid here anyway?"
Julia gulped and cleared her throat nervously, she thought that getting a job as a maid would be easy but this woman, who she assumed was the head maid of the royal palace, had been drilling her with back to back questions. I guess she should have expected as much, this was the royal palace after all, they couldn't hire anyone willy nilly now could they.
"I really need the money ma'am," Julia lied, "and I figured with the royal wedding around the corner, you'd need as much help as you can get."
The plump woman raised an eyebrow and studied the small green eyed woman, "you would be useful in fitting in the small corners none of the other maids can reach with your size."
