Narrator's POV:
"Do you have any experience?" He asked her.
"Yes I do my lord. I worked with the Johnson family, the Smith family, the Robinson family, and I have good associations with the Phantomhive family." Caterina stated in a businesslike manner.
"I see, very impressive." Lord Midford nodded.
"Thank you." She bowed her head politely.
"I am sorry for the loss of your last master." He looked down gravely
"Yes, he was a very brave and kind man. Tis a shame that my lady will be struggling for now on, but she insisted that she could no longer afford so many servants and asked all the recently hired ones to leave." She looked down rather somberly.
"I see. Yes, let us make this official then. Please read over this and see if it is to your liking." He handed her the contract.
"Thank you." She looked down and read the fine print.
I _(state your name) solemnly swear to be loyal to the Midford family and take this oath and sign this contract stating that I will do all in my power to oblige to the family's orders as well as keep the heir safe. Lady Elizabeth is to be kept safe at all times and granted all happiness so long as it does not interfere with the orders of the man that created this contract, Lord Midford. The conditions are this: I am to obey every order less it come in interference to certain legal rights of her Majesty's proclamations to which Lord Midford is made aware of. I am to continue to serve her Majesty as well as fulfill my duties as a Midford servant. I am to be a proper and tactful maid while serving under my master and mistress Midford as well as Lady Elizabeth.
As I sign this contract, I am fully aware of the previously stating conditions and am aware that my life is valuable but not irreplaceable. I am to mind myself around my masters, but get the job done without disobeying any orders.
If this contract is to be broken, the punishment is retirement from the Midford manor, so long as I have not done anything to smear the family name, and I will keep on good terms with the family.

"I see, well it all looks applicable. It is agreed then." She signed and stood to shake his hand.
"That is a fine grip you have." He cringed at her strength.
"Thank you my lord." She smiled devilishly.
"Now, have you time to move in?" He stood back, his hands at his sides.
"Yes, I just have one request. And I guarantee I will not break my contract." She looked at him honestly.
"Yes?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Ahh, nothing like a celebration after a successful day." She stretched out, with a bottle of her favorite red wine in hand.
"Now, I must pay yet one more visit before I am to begin." She smiled devilishly.
"Hmm? I could have sworn that I locked that window. Is that you kitten?" Sebastian looked at his bedroom window.
"Ohh ha ha. You're so comical." She purred.
"Hmm, it's nice to see you again too." Sebastian pulled Caterina into his room.
"Hmmm, indeed it is." She pushed him onto the bed as she leaned over him and kissed him passionately.
"Mmmm, and what do we have here." He found a paper bag with the wine.
"Yes, I found it when I was packing." She smiled, somewhat tipsy from the wine.
"So I see you got the job." He smiled proudly.
"Indeed I did Sebs. And I even got him to agree to give me time off at night to wonder, along with the time to do her Majesty's biding. So I got the night off after I moved in." She smiled widely.
"I see. So what did you have in mind?" He looked her over curiously.
"You know very well what I want." Her eyes glowed as did his. The night was quiet and peaceful as the two entangled themselves in his bedding.
"Mmmm, morning already?" A tail peeked out from under the covers.
"Yes. Good morning." He looked over at her and how lovely she appeared.
"Morning Sebs. Huhh, I'd better be going. Good thing I brought my things. Well I best be off, today I meet my new family." She hopped out of bed and began dressing.
"Is that what you call them?" He looked at her and snickered.
"Well they certainly aren't my meal." She rolled her eyes as she finished dressing.
"True. Till later then?" He kissed her hand.
"I suppose, if I'm not too busy. Her Majesty wants me to start looking in some parts of town." She leaned her head against his chest.
"I thought you already took care of that cult?" He looked down at her somewhat confused.
"I did, but it seems there are more complicated matters. Young men and little boys are now the victims. Make sure to take good care of that young master of yours." She pulled away from him teasingly.
"I see, thank you for the warning." He looked quite serious.
"Hmm. Bye Sebs." She gave him one last kiss before vanishing in an instant.
