as soon as we got into the city and to the building mark led me to a office on one of the top floors. this floor looked as if it was all offices and meeting rooms. it had a open hole in the floor with fences around it. we were basically standing on a balcony that went all the way around. if you stood at the edge you could see the floor below you. marks office was your normal office not to big, a desk that was placed towards the back of the room. he had bookshelfs placed on either side of the room filled with different novels. his carpet was dark red and he had a big glass window behind his huge chair. mark led me to a room off to the side of his office. the room had a king sized bed, it had a walk in closet off to the side next to another bookshelf. the bathroom had a marble tub, the floors were also made with marble material. the bathroom sink matched the floors with dark wood drawers. inside them had white rain shampoo, conditioner and body wash, all of which smelled like strawberry. there was also bath bombs and salt in there for relaxation. I was so caught up in the room I forgot mark was standing there.
MARK: you like
VIAMA: uhm yes I guess it is beautiful
MARK: good you start tgoday there is a maid dress in the closet get changed ok
VIAMA: ok am I only cleaning your office
MARK: well not exactly, you will clean were I say so you could be cleaning multiple places and I have decided your pay each week will be six hundred dollars.
VIAMA: ok sir and after I clean may I go see my mom
MARK: I don't see why not just do a good job
after mark said that I changed and immediately started cleaning. mark was to interested in his work so I wasn't bothered and by the time six came I was told to go change and that I was done for the day. I decided to immediately go back to my parents house to tell mom the good news. I had to take the bus to and back with the money I had left for food my old job had given me. when I reached home I heard screaming in the kitchen and alcohol bottles everywhere. I dropped my things and ran to the kitchen in fear of what he did to my mom. I reached there to find my mom crying bleeding on the ground, a smashed plate and my dad..... waiting for me. as soon as I walked in he started walking towards me with a bottle saying something about me being broke and before I could defend myself the bottle crashed straight on my head. my mom started screaming to stop and pulling his leg but before my dad could do anything he passed out on the kitchen floor.
MOM: honey your home early.... did something happen are you ok you didn't come home yesterday.
VIAMA: mom I got a new job that's paying me six hundred dollars a week to clean a couple rooms at the fashion with furniture company. I am going to get you out of here but on of the terms is that I stay in the living space of the building.
MOM: YOUR MAKING THAT MUCH A WEEK nonono I can't except this money baby you need to get out save yourself..
VIAMA: MOM I CAN SAVE BOTH OF US JUST TRUST ME WITHIN A MONTH YOU HAVE A NEW APARTMENT OK
MOM: h-honey..... ok fine but what do you mean that building has living spaces
VIAMA: well uhm when I was hired I was told about my room and the top two floors is a house and right under the house is more meeting rooms before the next two floors, they are apartments people that work their can rent.
MOM: ok I will explain to your father why your not home
VIAMA: just don't tell him about the money I am making
MOM: ok dear go pack your things and go be safe honey
I packed all my clothes and a blanket for my bed. I packed anything important in a separate suitcase. I took both my suitcases and left. making it back to the room I said hi to mark and went to unpack. I fell into a deep rest on the comfy bed without a second thought
