Due to college expenses, you made the decision to take on a job as a housekeeper. It was practical, and you were fortunate to find a client quickly, despite your initial nervousness about the responsibility.
As you approached the address of your first assignment, a luxurious condo in the heart of the city, you couldn't help but feel intimidated by its grandeur. "Whoa, this condo is so fancy," you thought to yourself, taking a deep breath to steady your nerves before knocking on the door.
The door swung open, revealing a tired-looking man on the other side. His hair was disheveled, there were noticeable bags under his eyes, and his beard was unkempt. He nodded at you in acknowledgment, his expression a mix of weariness and resignation.
"G-good morning, I'm your housekeeper," you greeted him politely, trying to break the ice with a friendly smile.
He managed a faint smile in return, though it didn't quite reach his eyes. "Thank you for coming," he replied in a husky voice, stepping aside to let you in.
As you entered, you couldn't help but notice the contrast between the opulence of the condo and the evident signs of neglect. The air was stale, and there were scattered papers and empty coffee cups on the coffee table.
