Willow moved quickly through the marble hallways, following the elder maid who was showing her around. She was overwhelmed slightly by how large the mansion was yet found relief in the fact that she'd found a job that included a room to sleep in. "Never forget to dust thoroughly." The elder maid snapped, bringing Willow back to attention. "Every crack and every corner will be noticed." She said. Dust everything... Willow memorized in her mind.
"Where will I be staying?" Willow asked, willing to brave the wrath of the maid.
"Here. At the end of our tour." The woman said, gesturing to a small room at the end of the hallway. "This is the servant quarters. And by the way, I'm Jessica." The woman introduced herself warmly, taking Willow by surprise. "Supper is in an hour. Feel free to explore some but be prepared to work after supper." The woman warned.
"Thank you." Willow said, smiling at the woman who bustled off to let Willow settle in. Willow set down her bag on top of the small bed, not ready to unpack. She wasn't sure when she'd be able to explore the mansion again. Rather then unpack her bag, she set out through the maze of hallways and gazed curiously around the luxurious rooms.
