Episode 1

HARRY POV

"Dad!" I said as I picked up the call and began to button up my shirt.

"Son! how are you doing?"

"am fine dad"

"What is the time for your flight?" he asked

"In an hour time".

"I see! we are just so eager to see you son. You know it's been up to seven years" Dad said and I smiled.

"I know Dad and I've really missed you and Mom".

"Right! also your fiance would be here waiting for you". Dad said and I signed.

"I just remembered I have a fiance that I don't even know"

"c'mon son! how could you forget?"

"Dad, what if I don't even like her? what if she isn't my type?"

Dad remained silent for a while before speaking.

"She's my friend's daughter and I believe she a good girl."

"Well, I don't believe we're still in the time where parents choose spouses for their children". I said as I picked up a comb.

"And that's because my only son has refused to get married and he's getting old". Dad said and I mentally rolled my eyes.

"Dad! am just 28 and besides I haven't found true love".

"And you will find true love with Susan" Dad said.

"Susan! who's that?" I asked.

"Fool! your fiance" Dad said.

"oh! so that's her name?"

"silly boy!" Dad said and I laughed.

"I have a plan Dad and I want you and Mom to support me".

"Plan? what plan?"

"It's a plan to know if that Susan girl is good for me".

"But I know she's a good girl" Dad said.

"I know but I want to confirm it myself. Please Dad, you've been very supportive of me from the start. please let me do this"

"Alright son, Just make sure the plan is harmless. Also I'll brief your mom about this"

"Thank you Dad! you're simply the best" I said and he chuckled. with that he hung up.

I finished dressing but this time around, I didn't put on my usual expensive outfit and Jewelries. I wore a casual outfit.

I pressed a button and Darry came in almost immediately.

"sir!" he said and looked at me wondering why am dressed like that.

Darry is my bodyguard, driver and a friend.

"Darry! I have a job for you" I said and he simply nod.

"well, it's more like a plan. I want us to exchange identities"

"uh?"

"yeah! I want you to become Harry Kenwood and I become Darry. I'll do your Job."

"I don't understand. I can't take your place" he said and I smiled.

"it's just for a short period of time Darry. I have a fiance that I don't even know and that is why I want you to take my place so I can observe her behavior."

"but....."

"please Darry, you're my friend and you're the only one I can trust. And don't worry about your salary because I'll continue paying you".

"But what about your parents?"

"Don't worry about that, they are aware of the plan. please Darry"

He nod his head slowly and I chuckled.

"from today, you're Harry Kenwood. you will act like me, wear my clothes and order me around. it's a good thing we have same body size. let's get going before we miss our flight and I'll brief you about the plan on the way." I said as we both walked out.

EMILY POV

"Granny!!" I squealed as I hugged my grandmother tightly.

"oh! Emily, can't you see I'm old and getting weaker by the day? Do you really wanna break my bones. " She said making me smile but I didn't let her go.

"squeeze the remaining life out of me" I laughed as I released her but that didn't last as I winced due to the hard knock granny gave me on my head.

"ouch! granny, it hurts"

"that's what you get for going hard on me" she said.

"You know I can't go hard on you. you know you're my favorite and I love you so much to do that" I teased and she laughed.

"Emily"

"yes granny" I looked at her only for me to see her giving me a weird look.

"why are you home by this time?"

"oh!" I said and released a nervous laugh.

"I.. actually... I.. I'm done job hunting for today". I said stuttering.

she raised an eyebrow at me.

"it's still morning Emily, Don't be a lazy dumbass girl. You're gonna go out there and resume job hunting".

"granny!" I called but she ignored and picked up her knitting thread and needle.

I signed, it's useless talking to granny. I guess I better get my ass out the streets or else I won't have a good night sleep with granny. I picked up my purse and walked out.

I signed as I leaned on the wall with my eyes closed.

it's been 4 hours and the story is still the same, no job vacancy. Today is the worst day of my life. I feel so frustrated.

Just then my eyes caught something on the wall.

Job vacancy!

I moved closer.

Job vacancy of a maid?

Immediately, the gate opened and an expensive car drove out but stopped in front of me.

oops! I hope I'm not in some kind of trouble.

The window rolled down as a lady popped out her head.

" Good day ma'am"

"Good day to you dear, are you here for the Job?"

"yes ma'am"

"Thank goodness, finally! are you sure you're ready for this Job?"

"I'm sure ma'am"

"hold on a sec!" she said and placed a call across to someone while I just stood and admired her beauty.

Just then an elderly woman showed up. Just the same age with granny, I guess.

" Nanny Maria, this is our new maid. Brief her on everything she needs to know." she said and the nanny nodded.

I became confused.

"Does it mean I have the Job?" I asked and she nodded before driving off.

that was easy!.

I felt someone tap me from behind.

It was nanny Maria.

"Go get your things because you'll be staying in the Mansion. when you're back, I'll brief you about your Job". she said and I nodded.

I turned and walked away with a bright smile.

I finally have a Job.
