Book I | Chapter 5

On reaching the garden, located at the back of the mansion, the redhead noticed two ladies, one of them trimming away excess grass with a grass cutter machine, while the other was water the plants.

" Hey ", Misty said waving at the two. The two ladies, came and stood near her, "I assume that you are Rose and Petunia"

The two nodded, the fair skinned brunette introduced herself as Rose, while the other smiled and introduced herself to be Petunia.

Misty smiled at both of them and then said, "We have to do the cleaning duty, but first, you two should take a break. You can rest in the quarters for a till I complete the remaining work in the garden"

Petunia smiled but shook her head in disagreement, "Oh no, you don't have to--"

"Please, I insist", Misty pleaded, "You guys have been working her for long, you should take a break before beginning with the cleaning"

"Are you sure? We seriously don't mind", Rose asked again.

Misty smiled at the two of them and took the watering vessel from Rose's hands, "Did I tell you people that I loved gardening?"

Rose and Petunia beamed at her and nodded their heads.

Just before they could leave for their break, Misty informed, "Rose, you'll do the first floor corridors and Petunia, we two will clean all guest rooms and the dining"

The two agreed with an 'okay' and walked into the mansion as Misty saw them leave.

The redhead smiled as she thought how nice her co-workers were. They did not think she was trying to get control over them, nor did they refused the work she appointed them, although she was too young and inexperienced.

Misty started doing the remaining work in the garden. After completing it, as promised, she left to help Petunia.

"Hey! Am I late?", Misty asked as she came running towards Petunia in the main hall, dodging the water bucket in front of her.

"Not at all", Petunia replied, and resumed cleaning the walls, with a wet cloth, being careful about the photo frames on the wall.

After polishing the main hall's walls, they started with the guest rooms. Petunia would clean the floors, while Misty would change the bedsheets and replace them with new and clean ones. They did this in every room.

" This looks just like a hotel's arrangement", Petunia commented smiling, and adoring their work at the dining table, "Ma'am is so going to love this".

Misty smiled at her and replied excitedly "We'll do this everyday". Petunia nodded.

Misty thought for a few second before replying, "Clemont told me that the mansion has big conference room?"

"Yes, on the second floor", Petunia agreed, "It is often used by Mr Ketchum for confidential meetings"

Misty nodded, thinking for another few couple of seconds, "After a small break, would you mind cleaning the conference? I'll go to check on lunch preparations until then". Petunia nodded and made her way to the quarters.

After looking at all the decorations once again and making sure everything looked perfect, Misty sprinted towards the kitchen to check food preparations.

"Is it Done???", Misty squealed smelling the delicious aroma of food wafting in the air. The cooks looked at her and smiled and resumed to stir the pots.

"Almost ", the head cook said, while she removed serving bowls from the upper shelves and placed them on a table.

"Is smells so yum", Misty complimented as the ladies poured the soups in the serving bowl, and decorated the salads on plates.

The head cook laughed, "Don't get your hopes high -- we have a different menu". Misty averted her eyes to the pans and pots in another corner of the room cooking modest food.

Misty looked at the food made for the servants, and giggled, "So what? A foodie like me would not mind, just give me lots and lots of food!"

The other cooks giggled at her excitement. Misty was the youngest among all of them and being a teenager, she had enthusiasm, excitement and liveliness packed into her.

The redhead giggled and then looked at her wrist watch. Suddenly, her excitement morphed into haste,"Serve it in bowls faaaaaaaaast. Its five minutes to twelve thirty"

Jess, a petite blonde worker, nodded and put the bowls, plates, and water jar in a tray and gave it to Misty. "Thanks Jess", Misty said carrying the tray almost running towards dining room.

Delia had not arrived yet. Sighing in relief, Misty kept the food bowls and jar down on the fining table from the tray. As soon as she finished doing so, Mrs Ketchum came in and sat on her desired seat.

Misty flipped the plate, and the glass. She gave the handkerchief to Delia, and started serving the exotic dishes. In the end, she poured water in the glass and stepped back to allow Delia devour on her meal, who was highly impressed by the redhead's way of working.

Later, when Delia completed the lunch, Misty picked up the empty plates and kept a bowl of vanilla ice cream in front of the brunette, and poured hot chocolate syrup over it. Delia completed the dessert in silence, wiped her mouth with the white handkerchief and walked out without a word.

Delia Ketchum left for her Social Club at one-thirty. Misty decided that it was finally the time to clean Ash and Delia's room.

The redhead made her mind to clean Ash's room first since his mess would take a lot more time to be swept.

As Misty saw earlier in the morning, the youngest Ketchum's room was in a complete mess - used clothes were discarded everywhere in the room, some pizza was dropped on the floor along with spilled Coke. One light bulb was switched on and now it was flickering. The creamed-coloured window curtains had become black due to dust and the bedsheets were no more good.

Misty started from the bed. She ripped off the the pillow covers and bed sheets. Then she pulled out the dusty curtains and put them in the laundry baskets. The dirty clothes which were littered here and there were also put in the basket, while the clean ones which laid on the hanger or couch, were iron and folded and kept in the cupboards.

She cleaned the floor, and the windows with wet cloth too, and then put the tidy bedsheets and pillow covers as well as the curtains on.

The table was no less than a disaster. The pens and pencils seemed to be a captive of the world war 3. She sighed and put the pens in a pen holder, sharpened the pencils and added them in the collection too. Some books were lying on the table. She arranged some books on the shelf and the remaining were put in a drawer below.

Just as she was about to place the books inside, she caught the site of a black dairy. The diary was nearly kept in the drawer like it was something precious.

Not wanting to invade her master's privacy, Misty closed the drawer shut, however, her curiosity took over her and she pulled out the black book and flipped it open.

What she saw made her smile. Ash had collected pictures from all his favorite memories. There were pictures of some of his birthdays, in one picture he was at a movie theatre with a brunette, in another, he was receiving an award at some gaming centre. Misty's eyes made her way to the video game and console kept beside the television screen.

Closing the book, Misty decided to complete her remaining work by putting all the books in the drawer and spraying some aqua room freshener. Not too girly, not too smelly

The redhead took a last glance at the cleaned-up room hoping that it's owner would like he work. Smiling, Misty left to clean Mrs Ketchum's Room.
