Ava "s POV
I walked into the room, trying to keep my breathing under control.
All of the girls who had entered had left. "This is a legitimate interview," I told myself as I sat in the
chair across from the olderdy who was seated in arge chair behind a desk.
She was tall and thin, and she carried herself very high. She was dressed conservatively in a pencil
skirt and a suit jacket. She had lovely light brown hair that was tucked behind her head and secured
with a diamond clip.
She had a few wrinkles around her eyes, her eyes were a beautiful blue, and she looked very
familiar, but I couldn''t ce where or when I hade into contact with such a woman.
"Ava," she said, softly smiling.
"Yes, Ms. Jayson," I said, returning the smile and handing her my resume from my purse, which
contained all of my information.
"Oh, I like you; you can call me Veronica" she said as she took the file from me and began reading
it.
I was already feeling good about this interview because she said she liked me and said I could call
her by her first name.
"Ava I''ll be honest with you: you were the only woman who showed up with a resume and a proper
attire "She said this while looking at me up and down.
I was dressed in ck cks with a white blouse.
"I know your resume says you have no experience with children, but I believe this is a good
opportunity for you to gain some," she said as she closed my file and looked up at me.
"And I''m sure you''re nervous because you know who you are, but I swear to you, no harm wille
to you," she said as she stood up to shake my hand.
"I apologize; I don''t want to appear rude, but "I''m not familiar with your family. I saw your
advertisement for the interview and came here today because of it "I said this as I stood up and
shook her hand.
She looked at me with a shocked expression written all over her.
"You have no idea what our family does... you have no idea about the Jayson''s-." She began
"Oh, well, this makes everything better." As she walks out of the room, she tells the other girls to go
home.
I remained perplexed in my seat. I had never heard of the Jayson family before, and I was curious
as to what she meant by "no harm wille to me" and "what her family does, "Before I could finish
thinking about it, she walks in front of me and leads me out of the room and into another.
The room we enter is enormous; it is the size of my apartment. The room has two couches on each
side of the room, one in the middle, and arge t screen television. The walls are light grey, the
couches are all white , and a ss coffee table sits in the center of the room. I find it strange that
they have white couches with a three-year-old, but given the size of this room, I am sure they can
buy new couches every day if necessary.
"All right, Ava, let''s talk about everything," Veronica says, motioning me to sit on the couch.
The couch is much softer than I expected, with two pillows on either side, and I almost sank into it
when I sat down.
"First and foremost, you will be paid weekly, and there is a house outside if you want to stay with us
instead ofmuting from your current residence."
I nod
I don"t know if I want to stay here, it is gorgeous but I have my own ce where I can feel safe and
my own space. Living here would make more sense in the end, but I''m not sure I''m ready to give up
my apartment just yet.
"If you choose to live here, we will feed you and deduct no money from your sry; if you choose
not to live here, you will only receive your sry. Whether you decide to live here or not, you must
be awake and ready for the day at 8 am

I nod once more. I reason to myself that not only would I receive the same amount of money, but I
would also be fed, allowing me to save even more money and attend school.
