I started the interview with “Good morning Emma, who is with you?”
“This is my daughter Nina, If I get the job it would include Nina as mentioned in my Resume.”
“Good morning Nina how old are you?”
Nina replied “I am 14 sir.”
I asked Emma “I did read your resume and thought your daughter was only a very young child.”
Emma replied “Yes sir, I understand, I was young to have Nina and her dad is no longer with us.”
Asking “Any problems that could occur, I should be aware of?”
Nina said “Dad is buried in the cemetery, I wish he was here not like mum’s last partner who was very mean and demanding.” Out of the mouths of kids. I looked at Emma.
Emma answered “Yes a mistake, He was very kind and attentive until he moved in with us then we were treated as his slaves. That’s why we moved interstate here.”

I continued “You realise this is a live in job, the pay is not great but I supply accommodation, food, clothing except underwear, so you have minimal clothing etc, it six days per week, I have no other staff here. At my other house I have quite a few staff, here I only need a cook and maid.”
Emma replied “Yes sir I did read that in the job description and one of the reasons I did apply.”

I looked over the two of them. They were smartly dressed and held their own in body stance. She was 28 and a slim build with a nice body shape. Her daughter was slim with budding boobs, thin legs and small hips. I read her resume again and stated “OK, to be honest, not many people have applied. Some have telephoned or emailed and wanted double the pay rate to even be considered for the role. I am following the industrial guidelines for salaries. How are you for accommodation at present?”

Emma replied “We are staying at the local pub until I can find a job and rental place.”
I looked at Emma again realising she was an attractive girl. “OK. How about a 30 day trial starting either today or tomorrow. I should tell you I do live alone, no wife, she died 7 years ago, in a car crash, just to let you know. Are you interested?”

Emma looked at Nina, she nodded and smiled, like her mum she was attractive as well. Emma stated “Yes sir we would like to give the job a go. Could you show us your home here please?”
I smiled and stood up “Yes lets go, It’s easier to start from the front door.” We walked down to the front door and I walked them around the house and garage. There was space for their small car. I did notice it was full of boxes and I suspect the boot was full as well.

The house is over four stories with ground floor containing the garage, reception room, scullery, storage and bathrooms. First floor contains Lounge, separate dining, library, office, cloakroom, kitchen, walk in pantry, cleaning room, storage and bathroom. Second floor has 9 bedrooms including bathrooms and ensuites, storage, linen and rest area. Attic contains 10 bedroom, bathrooms and rest area for the staff. I did show them my bedroom and taking them upstairs to the staff room I suggested their room should not be over my bedroom. Emma agreed. I did state Nina could have her own bedroom, she smiled at that suggestion. They did pick the bedroom opposite the bathroom and Nina the next room. I showed them where the linen closet including their clothes were situated for this floor. If they wanted to start today then they would need to make their own beds. I did show them the dumb waiter lift as well. Emma said “Thank you sir, we will bring our belonging from the car. The pub was very noisy last night as we did not sleep well.” I took them back down stairs and showed them where to place their car in the garage and the dumb waiter access. It is hidden on this floor.

Nina asked “Sir why is it called a dumb waiter?”
I smiled at the young girl “It is basically a small lift and is used to transfer items from this area to the other floors. The name is very old before lifts were invented.”
Emma said “Nina ask me not the owner.”
I stated “No, Nina, you can ask me, I will be happy to teach you. Emma I’m very happy to assist with her education, having youth in the house will liven the place up.”
Emma replied “OK sir, but if she is asking too much just let her know, she is a seeker of knowledge and does ask plenty of questions.”
I answered “Well maybe in the next few days I can show her my library, plenty of reading material with over 10,000 books. It’s about time they were used again?” They smiled as I showed them how to access the garage. Emma did drive her car in whilst Nina stayed with me. I showed Nina how to close the automatic garage door and gates after her mum drove in.
Nina replied “Thank you sir, I’ll teach mum.” I left them to get setup.

About an hour later Nina came to see me in my office. Knocking on the door I said “Enter.”
She was in a maid uniform. I forgot we did have small sizes for previous employees. “Yes Nina?”
Nina asked “Would you like a cup of tea, coffee or something else sir?” I looked at her smiling, thinking yes your mum would be nice, I replied “Tea please, I come with you to the kitchen and show you some items.” We walked to the kitchen together.

Seeing Emma in her uniform, she looked terrific, smart, sexy but not slutty. I could feel movement below. I opened a draw which was only about two inches thick. Inside was the requirements for different people. I put a pencil line through those that were no longer here. I stated “here are the requirements for different people, it does need a lot of updating, add your preferences to the list. I start in the morning with coffee, black no sugar and from 11am tea, white again no sugar. I have some preferences and they are listed. I leave it up to you to organise meals as I like surprises. If I have guests then we will discuss and plan. Are you happy with the food and layout Emma?”
Emma replied “Yes sir, very nice setup and some of the latest gadgets, Do you like home made cakes and biscuits?”
I smiled “Yes very much so, I find the shop ones have too much sugar or sweetener, Please make yourself at home here and I hope you enjoy cooking?”
Emma smiled “I do sir very much. I am teaching Nina to cook as well. May I ask do you prefer breakfast in bed or in the dining room and at what time?”

I replied “Most days in the dining room, I’ll tell you if I want it in bed. The newspapers are generally delivered to the front steps by 5am so if you can collect them and leave them on the dining room table, actually sideboard, that would be appreciated Emma.”
Emma replied “A role for Nina, that will get her out of bed.”
I smiled “I’ll leave the arrangements between you to deal with.” Emma smiled “I will have a cup of tea in the dining room please.” I left them to make and sort out the kitchen.
