I wasn’t looking forward to a private interview with the employer, so time flew by and the hour came when I parked my car on the driveway circle in front of the manor. I stepped out and leaned my head back for a view of the place. A curtain was pulled aside on the second floor and a shadowy figure stood to one side. They disappeared before I could see their face, but I was sure it was Mr. Barnett staring at me. A chill went up my back. I knew I couldn’t resist his temptations, but maybe I could stay out of his reach.

I steadied my nerves and walked up to the door. After a quick knock the door was opened by the ancient servant. “You’re expected, miss,” he greeted me. He stepped to the side and swept his hand over the hall.

I slipped inside and followed him into the east wing where stood a long dining hall. Five other women sat at the top of the table, with the chair at the head unoccupied. They chatted in low voices and their eyes wandered curiously around the room. Their conversation stopped when the butler entered with me behind him. The servant pulled out one of the empty chairs beside the last girl on one side, and I slid into it. All their eyes stared at me, some with curiosity and others with disdain.

I smiled back at them. “Good evening,” I greeted the group.

“Good evening,” came their muttered reply.

I didn’t have a chance for a more intimate conversation before Mr. Barnett stepped into the room. He bowed his head to us and took the seat at the head. “Good evening, ladies. I’m sure you’ve all figured out you’re here for a private interview with my employer. He eagerly awaits meeting you personally, but is unable to attend dinner with you. He asks that you enjoy yourselves until the final test and interview.”

“Final test?” one of the women repeated.

Mr. Barnett smiled. “It’s a bit odd, I’m afraid. My employer is rather cheap and eccentric, and he wants you to try on some uniforms left by the last maid to see if they’ll fit.”

One of the women burst out laughing. “Like a Cinderella story where the shoe fits?” she guffawed.

Mr. Barnett bowed his head. “Something of the sort, but please, eat.”

The fair in front of us was a delicious buffet of roasted meat and steamed vegetables, but my attention lay on the man at the head of the table. That was because he watched me. I could feel his eyes on me at all times, and I fumbled to catch a spear of asparagus or a slice of ham on my plate. The other women chattered like hens, admiring the home and the dinner.

“The food’s wonderful, Mr. Barnett. I’m sure our host must be the same,” one of the women commented. She sat on Barnett’s left and leaned toward him. Her eyelashes batted at the man. I scowled at the attention she showed him and anger welled up inside me.
