Chapter 1
AN// Hi everyone!! I hope you like my book! It's my first and I'm hoping I can continue to write more books and stuff. I've been so excited about writing this and I hope you like it! Tell me what you think of it and sorry for any mistakes. It's a little slow at first but it gets better(: -Meg
"Luhan." My boss calls as I turn to see him hurrying over to me.
"I need you to work tomorrow to help serve at the party." He says making me bush my eyebrows together slightly.
"But that's my-" I begin.
"Yes, I'm know that, but you'll have to wait until next week because I need you here. I need you to be here from two to twelve." He instructs.
"In the morning?" I panic.
"No, the afternoon," he says like I'm a completely idiot, "and wear the dress shirt and slacks I gave you. Baekhyun and Chen will be here as well, they'll tell you what to help with." He says before leaving me.
Out of all of the jobs I could have picked I chose this one; being a slave to some rich guy who won't even give me a different day off when he needs me to work on my day off. I've only been here a few weeks and I still don't know a lot of people. I just sort of know Baekhyun, but not very well. We work the same shift and we talk a little that pretty much it.
I quickly leave the huge house before he could give me more things and make me stay later than I already have. Other than him being a huge asshole it's a good job. It pays well and it's nothing to hard.
When I get back to my apartment I throw my jacket off and leave it on the floor before going to the bathroom to take a hot shower. I don't know how fond I am of this place but it's all I can afford at the moment. I want to get a better place as soon as I can.
After about five minutes of nice hot water it begins to turn cold so I decide it's a good time to get out.
It's probably around midnight by the time I finish drying off and I'm completely exhausted. I pull a pair of sweats on and a sweatshirt before climbing onto my squeaky bed and quicky fall asleep.
...
When I wake up I rub my eyes before rolling over to check the time.
1:37 p.m.
Oh, it's only 1:37...
"Shit!" I say as I jump out of my bed and hurry to my closet to grab my shirt and pants.
How did I sleep in so late?
I take my pajamas off and pull the white button up shirt over my shoulders and hang the bow tie around my neck as I pull my sweats off and replace them with the black slacks.
I hurry to the bathroom and quickly brush my teeth and hair before going back to my closet and grabbing the black vest to put over the shirt.
I tuck my shirt into my pants as I leave quickly, grabbing my key before shutting and locking the door behind me. I finish buttoning up the last top buttons of my shirt and vest as I practically run down the street to my job seeing I have no car.
I clip the bow tie on as I jog up the steps and quickly fix my hair before slipping inside, hopefully unnoticed.
I hurry to the back room where I find Baekhyun carrying a big stack of plates in his arms.
"Right on time, Luhan." He smiles as he hands me them.
"Can you go put these on the tables out in the ballroom? Six plates to a table, then come back and get some more once you run out." I nod before leaving out of the back room and to the ballroom as he said.
That is the only room I haven't been in yet. Baekhyun said it is beautiful when everything is set up. He said there's a giant chandelier with white diamonds hanging in the middle that make it that much more beautiful.
The doors that lead to the ballroom are standing wide open and I slowly walk in taking in the amazing view. The center of the room has a warm wood flooring for people to dance on and around it are the round tables that are placed on dark red velvet type carpet.
The tables have a cream colored table cloth with a clear vase in the middle of the table filled with white roses. I continue to look around the room as I slowly place the plates down on the tables.
The walls are a creamy white color kind of yellowish but more white. There are cut outs in the wall that have flower pots full of red flowers matching perfectly pushed in them.
God, imagine trying to water all of those by yourself, it would take all morning.
I run out of plates and quickly go back to get more before I'm yelled out for slacking.
Hour after hour I spend setting up the room for the guest have a good night in, hopefully. I'm not even a hundred percent sure why my boss is throwing this party, but I continue to set things up for it.
There are four different bars set up against the walls with barstool pushed underneath them perfectly seperated. The tops of the bars are made from a dark wood that looks very smooth and stunning while the wall behind it is made of the same wood with glass shelves to hold the alcohol.
"Luhan!" I hear my boss call to me and I jump slightly. I turn around and gulp as I see him walking towards me.
"Um, yes sir?" I say standing up a little straighter.
"I need you to go upstairs and clean the rooms up. Put new sheets and pillow cases on all of the beds that have been used and vacuum the carpet. Then put more soap in the dispensers in the bathrooms. Put fresh towels in there as well and fresh rolls of toilet paper in all of the bathrooms. I need you to hurry too because we still need help down here, two hours left!" He yells before quickly walking away to yell at some of the other employees.
We aren't even using the damn bedrooms, they the hell am I setting them up for?
I hurry up the grand staircase and one by one going into every bedroom and quickly stripping the bed comforter and sheets off. I have a cart to put the old sheets in and get the clean ones from. Then I put fresh hand towels and bath towels in the bathrooms, refill the soap dispensers, and put new rolls of toilet paper on the holders.
This place seems more like a five star hotel than a house for someone.
It takes me a while to get all of the beds fixed and bathrooms restocked before taking the sheets to the laundry room and throw them in the big hamper.
Once I'm done I'm called to the living room area and am told to quickly clean the giant glass windows that look out over a small river and into woods. It's quite a sight really, this house has so many special things about it.
Baekhyun and Chen join me in cleaning the windows inside and out even though we had already did it once yesterday.
"Baekhyun! You squirted my hand!" Chen says as he squirts Baekhyuns.
"Chen! Knock it off you troll!"
"I am not-"
"Come on people! Guest should be arriving any moment! They'll be going straight to the ballroom to talk and find their seats. I gave you all the seating arrangement so you should already have memorized where people are sitting." Mr. Vin yells as he makes all of us line up.
"You, you, and you will show guest to there seats in the ballroom."
"You and you will start bring appetizers from the kitchen." One by one everyone was given a job. I'm glad I didn't have to take appetizers around, I would end up bumping into someone and dropping everything or something.
He gives us ear pieces so he can talk to us, more like yell, during the night if he needs us.
"There are a lot of really important people coming tonight so be on your best behavior! No goofing around or you'll immediately be fired, no if's, and's, or but's!" He says before shooing us to finish what we had been doing.
A couple weeks ago Mr. Vin had given each of us a list of the tables and names of where people were sitting so we would have it memorized for tonight.
The doorbell rings and quickly everyone scurries to finish what they had been doing and get everything started.
