"Your contract is set for one year, but if you decide you want to stay with us for a longer period of time and everything is in order on my end, we can discuss extending your contract."

"It's all right," I finally said.

"Your hours and days will be 8 a. m. to 6 p. m., Monday through Saturday; however, due to my work and the fact that my oldest is not usually home, I may require you to work later some nights."

I agreed and noded. I had no idea she had another child, but it did not appear to be a problem because he or she was obviously older.

"Your weekly salary will be $2, 000, and depending on your preference, I can pay you in cash or by check."

My mouth widens in surprise. I quickly shut my mouth before Veronica notices. I can't believe what I just heard: $2, 000 DOLLARS.

"Um, Veronica," I said quietly.

"Yes, Ava," she responds.

"Did you say two thousand dollars?" I inquired again.

"Oh, do you need more? We can certainly negotiate a price," she responds.

"Oh, no... No, 2, 000 dollars is more than enough, thank you very much." I said.

"If you say so, Darling," she said as she stands up and walks to the top of the stairs.

Veronica screams, "Daliaaaaaaa"

A little girl runs down the stairs as soon as she screams her name. She has wavy brown hair and her mother's smile, but not her mother's eyes. Her eyes are a lovely green, and I have a strange feeling I know her.

"Dalia, this is Ava, and she will be looking after you for the next year," Veronica explains to Dalia.

"Hello, you're very pretty, Dalia," I said as I approached her.

She looks at me again, walks towards me, and hugs my leg. I lean in and hug her as well.

"You're really pretty," she remarks.

"Thank you, Princess," I laughed.

I hear footsteps coming down the stairs just as she is about to say something. I'm assuming it's the father because I haven't seen him yet, but what I see surprises me even more.

It's him, the guy I ran into on the street. Dalia lets go of my leg and dashes towards him, grabbing his leg and yelling, "Big Brotherrrr!!!"

He was the leader of one of the most dangerous Mafia groups, according to Charis and Jenny. It all became clear to me why Veronica had told me about my safety and how surprised she was that I had not heard of the Jasons.

He is staring at me angrily. Anyone else would be scared, but I've dealt with worse than him, so I just give him the same look he gives me. He looks me in the eyes and grabs his mother, saying, "What . Is. She. Doing. Here?"

"Calm down, Andrew; she's here to look after your sister." Why are you staring at me in this way? She's not one of those girls you mess around with. "Just as you requested." Veronica explained.

I wasn't sure what they were talking about, but I soon realized that every girl who showed up for the interview looked like someone Andrew would fuck and then leave. I wasn't going to let this jerk ruin it for me.

"I'm here to look after your sister and nothing else." I said

Both he and his mother looked at me, his mother was relieved, but he became more enraged.

"You're as bad as hell!" He yelled.

"Andrew, watch your tone; I hired her and we signed the contract; you're going to have to deal with her." Veronica elaborated.

He looked at his mother and then back at me, storming over to me, and I didn't move an inch, which surprised him because he stopped right in front of me, and I could see the surprise on his face. But the expression vanished as soon as he realized I saw it.

He leaned in close to my ear and said, "If you ever talk to me again, I will kill you." So let's make it easier on everyone by quitting."

I looked up at him and shook my head before approaching Dalia and saying, "Let's go color."

When I returned my gaze to him, I noticed that his eyes had turned red.

I walked out with Dalia thinking, "I'm going to hate this year."
