night,” I said walking towards the stairs “I’ll try,” he said walking towards his room.
     
    As I was walking down the stairs I found Miranda at the bottom smiling up at me “Everything ok?” she asked. I nodded “Marvelous,” she said and went on “want to have something for dinner? I am making quick lasagna,” I gave her a smile and nodded skipping down the steps. There is nothing quick about lasagna, I thought, but I was starving and a home cooked meal sounded heavenly. As soon as I step into the kitchen the smell of lasagna invaded my lungs.
    “That smells delicious,” I said as I sat next to a redheaded girl on a stool by the kitchen counter. “Hi, I’m Lucy,” I said extending my hand.
    “Sarah,” she said in a shy tone. Sarah, Sarah I tried to go through all the names I’ve learned today and all the names I’ve read on the employees list. She was a maid, a beautiful maid at that. Did she clean all by herself in here? Poor girl! No wonder she was that skinny, she needed the lasagna more than I did!
    “So, Lucy, how was your first day?” asked Miranda pouring a glass of lemonade in front of me.
    I took a huge sip from it, “Oh God, this is so good,” I said as I took another sip. Miranda smiled at me as I put the glass down on the counter “I had a good first day. Patrick seems to have very specific needs and it seems I will be running around a lot before I figure out a schedule for myself, but it was a great first day,” I nodded.
    Miranda looked at me, seemingly analyzing me, “Were your other bosses this picky?” she asked and I shook my head while gulping down the rest of the most delicious lemonade I’ve ever had.
    I heard and intake of breath coming from both Sarah and Miranda and I looked at both of them with a worried look, “What?” I asked almost in my defense.
    “It’s just that his last assistant used to be Kim Kardashian's assistant and she didn't last a month,” said Sarah looking down at her fumbling hands. She was already feeling sorry for me.
    “Wait… Kim Kardashian’s assistant was managing Patrick’s staff?” I asked not believing the nerve of some people. It offended me in a deep level that anyone thought they could have HR skills.
    “Well she tried,” said Miranda shaking her head “she was a disaster! Business and Hollywood are different worlds.”
    “I know!” I said nodding furiously.
    “So, Lucy, if you need our help with the staff let us know,” Miranda said winking at me and I smiled at her, she seemed so nice. “Dinner is ready,” she said as she pulled out of the oven the most gorgeous, drool deserving lasagna I’ve ever eaten. Miranda’s quick Lasagna was anything but quick or simple, it was a God sent dinner. Yes, I loved it that much. The three of us had dinner while talking about everything and anything; they told me everything about Patrick’s past assistants and how, sometimes, he drove them crazy and I laughed so much my ribs hurt. It was great to have someone to have dinner with. Sarah had an amazing sense of humor once she got over her shyness. First day, first lunch, first dinner…. All great. I could really get used to that.
     
    I helped the girls clean up and went to the pool house to keep my promise of having a bath. I opened a bottle of red wine I found on my fridge, grabbed a glass and went directly to the bathroom. I let the water run on the tub while arranging my toiletries and bath robe around in the bathroom. I got in the tub once it was full and went through the following day’s schedule. Seems there was nothing big; Golf with a big client, which meant I had to walk behind Patrick all day long, other than that nothing seemed to be scheduled. Thank God. I finished my glass of wine and stepped out of the tub, wrapped myself in my purple robe and went into my bedroom. I changed into my flannel pjs and picked up my personal phone. I had left it on my room and I had 3 missed calls from Nicholas and one text message. He,
