She scanned the house. It was beautiful; it's almost as big as or maybe even bigger than their house. "This is going to be so exciting", She thought.
"We've been talking for a while now, let me formally introduce myself; I'm Serina, Mrs. Serina Hyuuga.
"Oh, I'm sorry for my lack of respect, I'm Mikan, Mikan Sakura." She said while bowing.
"Sakura? Are you somehow related to Mr. Sakura, the business tycoon of Japan? Mrs. Hyuuga asked.
"Huh…Err…No Madam" She said rather too quickly.
"What was that?"
"No Madam, that...It would be rather impossible, I'm only a simple girl, and if ever that is true, I wouldn't be homeless, that is." She lied, explained
Without much thought placed she just shrugged the idea and said. "Well, maybe it's just a mere coincidence"
"Well, it's already late, why don't you rest first." Then she turned her face to the butler and said "Accompany her to the servant's chamber" She ordered.
The butler simply nodded and took her things. "Follow me"
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
After saying goodbye and thank you, she quickly followed the butler; afraid of getting lost in this big Mansion, or rather what Mrs. Hyuuga described it house, a big one that is.
The trip to the servant's chamber was quiet; she realized that the butler was simply doing his job and nothing else.
"How long have you been working here?" she asked, trying to start a conversation.
"20 years" he answered flatly. It was obvious that he didn't like to talk or maybe he just didn't like to talk to her.
"Maybe, he's just a little sleepy" she thought.
She looked around her; they were walking in a narrow hallway. The way was fully lighted, that's why she could clearly see things around her. Paintings were hanged, they were walking in a red carpet, while walking they pass by many rooms. "Maybe this rooms are for guests, but why too many?" She was still busy thinking when they finally stopped, she found herself inside a room. It was very neat, maybe not as big as her room back at their house but atleast she could occupy each space. When the Butler left, she began scanning each part of her new room. She found a big closet, when she opened it, she found many different colors of different kinds of uniforms, her maid uniforms, and each had its matching shoes and head wear. Luckily there were still spaces left to place her personal clothes. She turned to the bed, it was a single sized bed, beside it was a small lamp placed in a table. Luckily, her room was air conditioned and has its own Comfort room.
"Maybe I should end the day already" She quickly changed to her nightgown then drifted of to dream land.
..Next day...
It was already past 8:00 am when she heard a knock to her room.
"Ms. Sakura, wake up already, it's already late, she heard, she was about to say 5 more minutes when she heard the next sentence. You should have started your chores an hour ago."
"Yes, I'll be out in about 20 minutes." She answered
She quickly got up from bed and was ready to take a shower when she realized how her body ached a lot. "Urghh, stretch the bed is smaller and less comfy than mine back in our household and a lo – wait what am I complaining for, there are only two choices this or the streets. Realizing the fact she just ignored the pain and took a shower. She went to the closet and read the note pasted beside the closet, she read the note indicating what to wear. It was simply based on colors. Maybe she could choose what style to wear.
Monday- green
Tuesday- Red
Wednesday- Purple
Thursday- Blue
Friday- Pink
Saturday- White
Sunday- will be notified
"So it's pink today?" She quickly dressed herself and tied her hair in a bun. Looking at her reflection in the mirror and satisfied of what she saw she then proceeded outside. She passed by the rooms she saw last night, curious of what was inside each rooms…she carefully opened the door and was about to take a peek inside when she heard footsteps, she quickly closed the door, just after closing it she saw the butler.
"Ms. Sakura, I'm glad you're already up. Quickly, follow me I'll guide you to your chores."
"Uhmmnn, yes sir"
She followed him until they reached a big door, when they entered the room she saw a lot of girls, some are same age as her but most are older but not reaching their 30's yet. There was only one that seems to be a lot older than the other and she was standing in front of the line the ladies made, she wasn't wearing any uniform so she assumed she was the head of the household.
"Okay I will introduce you to the new maid, this is Mikan Sakura, Madam brought her in last night. She will be start working in the garden. Be nice to her." The butler said.
"Hello, everyone I hope that we'll all be friends and will work together smoothly." She said and flashed her big smile.
When the butler was gone, she was approached by two girls; they introduced themselves as Anna and Nonoko. They became really close just by talking with each other.
…After some days, In the Main Office of the Household head…
"Miss Sakura, I know that you've only been starting and I fully understand that you're still trying to be comfortable in your new surroundings,…but is taking care of the plants in the garden that hard. You don't even know how to hold the gardening tools, much to use them. So I just decided to move you to the Kitchen, not all knows how to garden, but I suppose you know how to wash the dishes and clean stuffs?"
"Err, she can't possibly tell her that she doesn't know how to do all those stuffs, she didn't do these back at their Manor. Maids do all these things for them. She didn't even have to do anything because there were personal maids hired by her Father just for her." She looked back at the woman in front of her and saw that she was waiting for her to answer. "Of course, Miss I know how to do those stuffs."
"Well then I'll be looking forward on how you'll work in the future. For now, you're dismissed"
The next day, she proceeded to work on her chores in the Kitchen and much to her dismay, she break plates, while washing glass wares she would either break it just the time she held it or break it just after she placed it back to the cabinet. When she was assigned to mop the floor, it became a mess in the place because the floor was extremely wet, people couldn't move properly that's why it was hard for them t do their assigned chores. The day hasn't ended yet, but she was again called in the Office.
"Miss Mikan Sakura, do you seriously not know how to do those things? You assured me just yesterday that you know how to do those things and now look at what you had done." The poor woman rubbed her temple in frustration.
"I'm really sorry" Mikan bowed her head low. "I'm really sorry, I'm terribly sorry for what I've done"
"I know you're sorry, but tomorrow our Sir and Madam's only son will be coming home after years of studying abroad, that's why, for both our sakes and for the sakes of the other employees' jobs here, tomorrow you will remain in you're room. You will only be out ones you are called. Do I make myself clear? The woman asked sternly.
"Yes, Madam"
She was really frustrated of how things are going. She was causing trouble here; she was near her tears when Anna and Nonoko came to her.
"Mikan, do you want to go to Anna's room to chat? It's still pretty early and everyone's busy preparing for tomorrow?
"Well, okay…sure"
They passed by the corridor and Mikan found out something that surprisingly did cheer her up. The rooms that she was very eager to find out what was inside were actually all along the rooms of the maids. Each maid had her own room. Maids here really have privileges. Mr. and Mrs. Hyuuga were very nice people to care for there own maids and provide them with this comforts. "Maybe there son is a very nice person being them as his parents." (A/N: Hihihi laughs mischievously)
…Inside Anna's Room…
"Hey do you think Mr. and Mrs. Hyuuga's son will be as nice as them?" Nonoko asked Mikan.
"I hope so"
"Did you hear, He's going to be one of the richest person in Japan in the future because of his Father and Mother's wealth"
"He's been studying abroad and has been rumoured to be very handsome. The news had his Arrival tomorrow in headlines today. He's really awesome."
Mikan's POV
Most rich people I know are arrogant and jerks, they only care for money and looks. When we held gatherings at our house I saw a lot of those kinds. I hope his different and we could be friends.
…The next day…
Everyone was busy with all the preparations but Mikan was left in her room…
…
Sleeping, while everyone was frantic and at the same time excited to the arrival of the only son and heir of the Hyuuga Family.
