Chapter 2
"Whoa…" Lucy gasped as she stood in front of the famous Dragneel Mansion.
After a few moments of admiring and envying, the blonde-haired woman pulled her luggage as she walked into the grand mansion which was the talk of the town.
"Hello, I would like to apply for this job you are offering." Lucy took out a poster and showed it to white-haired desk clerk.
"Oh, okay! After filling up this form and putting it in the box here, you can take a seat with the other interviewees." She pointed to the large group of squealing ladies and err, guys? 'Gays, maybe?'
"Alright, thanks, um," I paused to look at her name tag before continuing, "Ms Mirajane! You are such a nice person!" Lucy finished with a smile only to find the beautiful desk clerk smiling back with a tint of red on her face.
Taking a seat on the comfortable leather sofa provided, she looked around the waiting area. There were girls squealing, fan girls apparently.'I doubt there will be any professionalism in them.' Lucy shook her head as a petite blue-haired woman took a seat beside her.
"Hello! My name is Levy, nice to meet you!" the blue-haired girl who sat beside Lucy held out her hand.
"Uh, hello. My name's Lucy, nice to meet you as well." Lucy shook her hand after a moment of hesitation.
"So, are you here to apply for the maid position like those girls there…?" Levy asked as she pointed to a group of crazed fan girls.
"Oh, no, no! I'm not like those obsessed fan girls there; I just need a job and housing desperately!" Lucy exclaimed while waving her hands to deny.
"Oh, I see… May I ask why? I mean, you can tell me if you don't mind." Levy asked with a curious look.
"Well, apparently, I kind of lost my job five months ago and my apartment just recently. So I kind of need a job, not hotties like those rabid fan girls there. How about you?" Lucy finished with a sigh, an invisible weight off her shoulders. It felt good telling someone.
"Oh dear, I am so sorry for what happened to you… Anyway, I am here because I heard that there's a huge library here with all the books you can find in the world!" she explained with a dreamy look as she clasped her hands together.
'What a reason to apply as a maid' is what Lucy should've said with a sweat drop, but as a fellow bookworm, she couldn't help but ask in excitement, "What, you serious! All the books you can find in the world?!".
"Yes, absolutely serious! You never heard of it, Lucy?"
"Nope, I have never even heard of the four hotties we are about to see every single day we work here!" Lucy declared proudly as Levy gasped in shock.
"WHAT, YOU SERIOUS?!" Levy shouted very loudly as she stood up, making both the young ladies the centre of attention of the suddenly quiet room.
"Levy! Sit down!" Lucy whispered in haste while apologising for their noise.
"I mean seriously, Lucy. You don't even know who you will be working for?" Levy confirmed as the quiet room started to get noisy again.
"Really serious! All I know someone with the surname Dragneel might choose one of the successful applicants as his personal maid."
'Wait, Dragneel… Where have I heard that before…' a thought struck Lucy's mind but she decided to shrug it off after a hard time of recalling.
"Well, Lu-" Levy was interrupted by one of the interviewers as he called out her name.
She panicked for a moment before scrambling to get her things.
Lucy giggled, "Good luck, Levy!".
"Thanks, Lu-chan! Good luck to you too!" Levy wished before running to the room.
'Lu-chan huh… It's been a long time since someone called me by that name…' Lucy pondered before her name was called next by another interviewer from another room.
"Thank you, you may leave now. We will put up the list of successful applicants later on the notice board, so check back in about 3 hours' time." Mr Conbolt informed.
"Thank you, Mr Conbolt." Lucy bowed politely before leaving the room.
As soon as she left the room, she was crushed into a bear hug by a petite bluenette. Recgonising her as Levy, Lucy gave a smile before Levy let go of the blonde.
"So, how did your interview go?" Levy enquired.
"It was fantastic! Mr Conbolt is such a nice guy! How about yours?"
"Same here, Mr Wakaba is so humorous! Hey, let's go to the cafeteria here to wait for the list!" Levy suggested as she grabbed Lucy.
"Cafeteria? Here, in this mansion?" Lucy asked in surprise.
"Uh-huh!" Levy nodded with excitement.
'Rich asses, like that fucking pervert!' Lucy gritted her teeth in anger as the pink-haired man appeared in her mind.
Lucy gasped out once more as she took a seat. 'This place literally just spells out class!' she thought as she saw the marbled floor, glass tables and chairs and butlers.
"Lu-chan?" Levy shook the flabbergasted blonde out of her trance.
"Huh? Yeah, Levy-chan?"
"L-Levy-chan? Did you call me that?" Levy asked in shocked which in return earned a surprise look from the blonde girl.
"Yeah, since you called me Lu-chan, I decided to call you Levy-chan! Or do you not like how I call you?"
"Oh, of course not! I am so glad you called me that! I thought you didn't want to be friends with me because I am a weirdo or something…" Levy tilted her head down.
"No! I have never thought you were weird! Okay, maybe I did think you were weird when you suddenly said hello to me, but I started to think of you as my friend after that!"
"Really? I am so happy that you are willing to be my friend!" Levy squealed out before both of them started to laugh.
"Yeah, me too! I hope both of us can get to work together!"
However, unknown to them, there were 3 pairs of eyes watching them since they have stepped into their territory.
"Hey, isn't that girl the one who splashed water on Natsu at the restaurant the other day?" a dark-haired man asked.
"Yeah… That bunny girl, I didn't expect her to have a friend though. Gray, by the way, put on your clothes." Another guy with blood red eyes and piercings said as he looked at the petite woman.
"Fuck…" Gray cursed before scrambling to find his clothes.
"Well, things are going to be interesting." A ginger-haired man laughed out before taking out his phone from his pocket.
"H-Hello, Mr Dragneel?" The voice on the other line trembled.
"How many times have I said, to call me Mr Loke? This matter aside, I heard there is a blonde woman called Lucy who applied to be a maid, is that true?"
"Y-Yes Mr Loke! We have already decided to hire her, along with Levy McGarden, her friend. We have not yet decided on who the other 4 to hire."
"Good job, Mr Wakaba. I hope to see all the 6 maids by the end of today, if I don't…" Loke growled, scaring the person on the other line.
"Y-Yes! Our team will pick out the best for you!"
Satisfied, the ginger-haired man hung up without a bye before smirking at how his life will be more interesting now.
"Good news Gajeel, the girl and the blonde there is already confirmed as one of our maids." Loke informed the red-eyed man who in return chuckled.
"Good, it seems that they have made the right choice this time round!" Gajeel exclaimed with a loud laughter.
"Now, I can't wait to see Natsu's reaction!" Gray said as he thought of all the things he can do to Natsu.
Now, all three of them laughed at the thought of traumatising all the maids who would shamelessly throw themselves onto the four of them.
After all, there is a secret to why they hate fan girls so much, locked in the depths of their cold hearts.
"Excuse me." Lucy said as she and Levy squeezed through the crowd gathered in front of the notice board.
Prepared for the worst as she saw a number of applicants or rather, fan girls left in either disappointment or tears, Lucy gulped as she looked through the name list.

Lisanna Strauss
Juvia Lockser
Michelle Lobster
Levy McGarden
"Oh my God, Levy! You got hired! Congratulations!" Lucy squealed in happiness as she shook Levy's hands profusely.
"Congratulations to you too! You got hired too!" Levy replied.
"Huh? Huh? HUH?!" Lucy exclaimed as she scanned through the list once more.
