His first morning at the opera house had started off rather badly with the driver leaving with his luggage, he had had to call the agency to inform them, they would be returning his belongings around lunch.
He was greeted at the door by the men who now ran his family's opera house. "Sir it is wonderful to meet you here" the shorter of the two said shaking Raoul's hand "your rooms have been set on the top floor as requested" the taller of the two said smiling "thank you very much for the accommodations sirs" Raoul said with a light smile on his handsome face "my family has been very pleased with your work and wishes me to give you this" he continued as he handed the men two envelopes, inside were two cheeks with a large sum of money, the two men bowed and thank him as a young girl came to show him to his rooms.
It was just after 9 as the two walked towards the stairs that lead to the lift, which was set on the third floor so as the reserve the beauty of the opera house for the public. when they reached the top floor Raoul found that it had been converted into a penthouse for him from his parents while he began his new life here. He was to start fresh here no more fighting in bars, he was to grow up, stop sleeping with every woman he met. He turned around to see that the girl was still standing in the door waiting for him to say something, he gave her a wicked smile while thinking, if i'm to live here might as well make it enjoyable, he walked slowly over to her looking her up and down "thank you love" he said stroking her cheek, she blushed and gave a small ballerina curtsies, "you're welcome sir" she said without raising her eyes from the ground "it's okay you can look at me love" he said smiling at her, she looked up into his clear blue eyes he looked back down into her wide innocent gray eyes continuing to smile at the small girl, "i must go sir i have to be at rehearsal" she said nervously "very well i shall see you later i hope" he said with a sleigh smile upon his handsome features. She turned and pressed the button to head back down to the rest of the opera house.
"What took you so long Meg" madam Giry demanded as her smallest but best dancer ran into the room late "I was showing him to his rooms" she said looking at the floor, miss Giry looked at her through narrowed eyes before beginning rehearsal.
