"Why does my life keep falling apart?" I asked trying so hard to stop the tears from rolling down.

Like why now!!!! Why is life so unfair to me?" I asked sobbing heavily.
"Girl you need to get yourself together" my Best friend Ash says. We still have like six months before your final exams by then we would saved up enough money to sort it out".
"How is that even possible? I don't even have a job, where do I get the money from?"
"We can start now by searching for job vacancies around, we'll definitely get one. A friend once told me about this site that posts job vacancies, let me check it out and see what they have".
"What would I have done without you? I leaned on her". After about one hour of us checking and applying for so many jobs on the sites, Ash finally saw one with a sensible though suspicious pay.
"What's the job about?" I asked
"Uhmm it's says "A live in maid needed, aged between twenty to thirty and must not be married or have kids".
That's a weird criteria" she added.
"What's the pay?"
"Ten thousand grand"
"Isn't that too much for a maid?"
"It is , I'm wondering if the person to be taken care of is a special care patient. And the publisher didn't say anything about him or herself".
"Can I see it, let me see how to apply. It says fill in your details then we give you call to tell you if you qualified for an interview. I did so without hesitation and submitted. I wonder if I'd get anyone" I said not so sure about myself.
"You got this baby girl" Ash said assuring me.
Ashley has being my best friend from junior high school and we've come a long way together attend the same college although different major and have being roommates since we got into college. We got tired of searching for work, had dinner and slept. Another new day, still feeling like the world has turned their back on me. It's a Saturday and honestly all I want to do is sleep in. I heard my phone buzz checked it and it was a message from an unknown number.
"This is to inform you that you're eligible to be interviewed for the position of a live in maid".

I was so excited that I didn't even notice when I screamed, Ash came running in
"Girl are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm good, sorry for scaring you".
"Okay but why did you scream so early in the morning" I showed her the message I got
"Girl!!!!!! I'm happy for you and I hope I get the job, I know you will".
"Thanks Ash. I don't know what I'd have done without you".
"Nothing babe, absolutely nothing she said and we laughed, now we have to get you ready cause you look like a mess".
"Ash please help me find something to wear, I need to take a shower and wash my hair".
"Sure, no problem, be fast about it though". "I will", I got into the shower, got off my pajamas and let the cold water pour down from my head to toe, it was saw refreshing. I washed my hair, had a proper shower, dried my hair and got out. Ash helped me get an off white blouse, peach long skirt and stiletto.
"Thanks Ash, I love you". "You're welcome girl, now go get that that job".
"I definitely wil"l. I styled my hair, wore a light makeup up, got dressed and left. It was a thirty minutes drive and throughout that time I was lost in my thoughts, I've never being to a job interview and I don't even know the basics, gosh!! I'm doomed......
"Ma'm we're here" the driver said interrupting my thoughts.
"Ok, thanks". I paid him and walked away. I was standing in front gigantic mansion, honestly I've only seen such buildings in movies, I checked my watch and saw that I was thirty minutes early. I contemplated if I should go inside or hang around till at least five minutes to the time. I finally decided to go inside. I met a man who looked like he was in his forties at the entrance, I introduced myself, we exchanged pleasantries and he led me into the building. The interior designs are magnificent, everything looks like they're made of gold and diamonds.
"Please sit here and wait, someone will be with you shortly". He politely said as he went back to the entrance of the building.
I saw a young lady around my age come out of a room and behind her was an elegant six feet tall brown skinned young lady, her height was intimidating yet beautiful, her skin so smooth and fresh like it has never being outside the sun, her brown eyes were captivating, she definitely looked like and Instagram model.
"Hi. I believe you're Davina Dalton?" She asked.
"Yes ma'm I said"
"Okay, I'm Alicia, I'd be interviewing you".
"Okay ma'm"
"So it says here that you're a final year student at Lead city university, am I correct?"
"Yes ma"
"So how do you intend to attend to both work and school?"
"Well, when I start working here, I'd change my mode of study to online".
"Okay, that's a good idea, come with me".
"Yes ma'm", we got into a long hall way and she continued her questions,
"Have you ever done this kind of work before?"
"No ma'm"
"So what makes you think you can do it?"
"I believe the work of a live in maid is to do all the house chores and cook in some cases and basically that's what I always do when I get home, I believe it won't be so hard".
"I believe so too". We got into this room that looked just like a study room, there was a man who had his back to us.
" If you're lucky to get the position, he'd be your boss".
"Uhmm, okay", I said stammering, honestly I didn't know what else to say.
"Aiden, meet one of the applicants for the live in maid position". Alicia said leaving me behind her and walking towards the man.
"I told you I don't need a live in maid and ain't you tired of all this?"
"No Aiden I'd only get tired when you pick one of them".
I wasn't even paying attention to their cute bickering, how can one man be this gorgeous? With his caramel skin, deep brown eyes, defined jaws, masculinity and a mesmerizing voice, Aiden is certainly irresistible.
"Alicia you choose one and leave me the fuck alone!!!! He yelled at her.
"Aiden, it doesn't call for shouting".
"It certainly does, you've being bringing strange women into my home for over a week and you fully know I dislike people being in my space".
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean no harm".
"Alicia I know you didn't, I'm sorry for raising my voice". He apologized then took a glass of whatever he had being drinking and drank it at a go.
"Alicia I know all you want is the best for me, I honestly do.....
"Then act like you do" Alicia said not letting him finish his statement.
"Fine". He said reluctantly then turned to me.
"Congratulation young lady. You got the job" Both Alicia and I were in shock, cause we didn't expect him to say that.
"Thank you sir". I finally got the courage to say.
"You can start on Monday", if you wish. You can also discuss other things with Alicia and she would show you around.
"Okay sir. Thank you sir."
Alicia led me out of the room, this way let me give you a little tour. We walked around the house for about thirty minutes, then signed a few documents before I went home.
