FIRST DAY AT WORK

NAJMEH’S POV

I was in a taxi heading home. I raised my phone and looked at the time. It was about 6:32 pm. It had been a long day at the famous Rashaad Bin Ahmed’s mansion. The house is very huge, even his garage is massive. I have never seen someone that could fit 20 cars in one garage. Mr. Rashaad checked me out when he was having a conversation with me. 

The guy that employed me, Mr. Benson has shown me around the mansion and the places I am supposed to be cleaning. He also showed me over to the bedroom I am going to be staying at. Rashaad Bin Ahmed is a very handsome guy, and I don’t think he matched the description of how I imagined him to be, based on the way Shadow described him. I just hope this mission goes very smoothly. I arrived in front of the apartment building. I came down from the taxi and paid the driver.

After that, I made my way over to the penthouse. I arrived at the penthouse. I pushed the doorbell. Murat opened the door for me.

"You are back," he said with a smirk.

"We both entered the house. Where is shadow?" I asked.

"He is inside Bruce’s bedroom," he responded.

"OK," I muttered.

I left Murat and went over to Bruce’s bedroom. As I arrived at the door, I knocked on the door. Bruce opened the door for me.

"Hey, How did it go?" Bruce asked.

“Good,” I responded

"I heard Shadow was in your room," I said.

"Yes, he is," he replied.

We both entered his room. Shadow was sitting behind a desk, pressing a laptop on the table that was close to Bruce’s bed.

I walked over to where he was and sat down at the bedside facing him. He turned around and noticed that I was there.

"Oh, you are back. How did the interview go?" Shadow asked, raising an eyebrow. As he turned around in the chair, he fixed his gaze on me.

"Everything went smoothly; I got the job," I responded.

"Yes!" Shadow yelled with a huge smile on his face.

"Did you see Mr. Rashaad Bin Ahmed?" Shadow asked.

"Yes, after the interview, Mr. Rashaad also came into the room and asked me a couple of questions," I responded.

"Oh, I hope you answered the questions according to how we planned it?" 

"Yes, I did," 

"Great job," Shadow said with a bright smile.

"Yeah, you did go Najmeh," Bruce also said with a smirk.

"So, when will you move over to his mansion and start working for him?" Shadow asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Tomorrow," I answered.

"OK, that’s perfect, which means our plan starts tomorrow," Shadow said.

"Alright, you should go and prepare yourself for tomorrow," Shadow added.

I stood up from the bed. 

"Yeah," I muttered.

I went out of the bedroom and went over to mine. I arrived at my bedroom, I sat down on the bed. I am glad the first phase of the plan is over. Shadow is truly a genius. Now that Mr. Rashaad knows that my mother was from Turkey, he won’t question my accent again.

The following morning,

I was standing in front of the gate of Mr. Rashaad’s mansion. I was holding two bags containing my clothes and equipment I was going to be using while staying at the mansion. I was waiting for Mr. Benson to come to pick me up and take me into the mansion. A couple of minutes later, Mr. Benson came out of the front gate. 

"Let’s go," he said with a smirk.

I went with him and we both entered the mansion. As we were walking through the driveway, close to each other,

"I know, you might be wondering why it took so long for me to come and get you from the gate. Well, Mr. Rashaad is the only person that can open the front gate for anyone. He uses his fingerprint to open the gate and can also open the gate from his laptop," he stated.

"OK," I muttered.

So, Mr. Rashaad can control the front gate from his laptop. This mission is not going to be easy. If I eventually steal the ruby, how would I escape? Well, good thing Shadow has a plan. I just have to do my part properly. After this mission, we will all go our separate ways.

Mr. Benson escorted me over to my bedroom. As we arrived at the front door,

"Alright, I will leave you here. Just settle in. You can start work later," he said with a smirk. He dipped his hand into his pocket and took out a key. He handed the key over to me.

"OK, sir, thanks," I replied.

He then walked away. I opened the door and went in. The room was not that spacious, but it had a medium-sized bed in the middle of the room. with a small wardrobe on the left side of the bed. I ambled over to the wardrobe and kept my bags in the wardrobe. I unzipped one of the bags and took out a small flip phone that Shadow gave me for communication. I scuttled over to the bed and sat down.

I dialed Shadow’s number on the phone. He answered the call.

"Have you settled in yet?" Shadow asked.

"Yes, I just got to the bedroom they gave me. I have kept my things in the wardrobe," I responded.

"Good to hear, now give it a little time, then you can carry on with the next phase of the plan," he stated.

"OK, I will," I replied.

"Yeah, Bruce and I will be on surveillance whenever you need us," he said.

"Alright, I will get back to you guys," I replied.

I ended the call. I went over to the wardrobe and hid the phone inside one of my bags. I scuttled over to the bed and sat down. 

The next phase of the plan is going to be easy, hopefully. Benson gave me an hour to settle down in the bedroom. I stood up and went over to the bathroom in the bedroom. I took a shower, after that, I entered the bedroom. I was tying a towel around my chest. I ambled over to the mirror stand that was at the side of the bed. The desk was blue, and the wood on the mirror was white.
