...Virginia…...
Emily: Virginia, wait.
It was almost three in the afternoon when I picked up my bag to leave, and Ms. Emily called me.
Virginia: Ms. Emily, did I forget to do something?
Emily: No, dear, I wanted to tell you that I spoke to Renan about your friend; he asked her to come in for a brief interview tomorrow.
I was very happy.
Virginia: My God, she will be very happy with this news, Ms. Emily, thank you so much for remembering to talk to him.
Emily: Bring her when you come tomorrow; I'm confident it will work out.
Virginia: Me too, Ms. Emily, me too!
I thanked her once again, wished her a great afternoon, and left the mansion. When I was already outside the condominium, Kaique surprised me once again by offering me a ride, which I obviously accepted.
...Julia…...
I'm in Virginia's room finishing cleaning when she enters.
Virginia: Julia, what are you doing?
Julia: Hi, Virginia, how was work? I'm helping your mother with the cleaning.
Virginia: Work was great, and I even have great news for you! My boss's neighbor has two children; it seems that he's without an employee at home and needs someone. I recommended you, and he asked you to come tomorrow for an interview.
My jaw dropped; I almost dropped the broom too.
Julia: Is this serious, Virginia?
Virginia: Yes, girl, you're in luck.
Julia: Thank you for recommending me, Vi; I don't even know how to thank you for everything you're doing for me... I'll try to do my best in this interview tomorrow.
I hug her.
Virginia: You already got it; this job is yours, Julia!
Julia: Amen!
Her cell phone started ringing.
Virginia: It's Kaique...
She sits on the bed.
Julia: Is that your boyfriend? Why don't you answer?
Virginia: He's not my boyfriend, Ju; he's my boss's brother... You won't believe it, but I think he's in love with me.
I sit next to her, smiling.
Virginia: He took me to work and brought me home; he said he didn't want me to catch a cold... What's more, we kissed in the car.
Julia: That's so romantic, like in the books where the hero falls in love with the maiden.
She starts laughing.
Julia: What's so funny?
Virginia: It's just that you say it in a funny way.
We both laughed.
Virginia: Hold my cell phone, and if he sends a message, you answer. I'm going to take a quick shower.
She puts the phone in my hand and gets up.
Julia: Wait, Virginia, I don't know how to handle this, let alone what to answer! Why didn't he answer?
Virginia: I was shy because of the kiss, but it's not rocket science. You just click on these buttons and press this one to send the message.
Julia: I think I understand.
She went into the bathroom, and I waited for a message.
Julia: Sent it!
Virginia was already in the shower, and I was at the bathroom door with the cell phone in my hands.
Virginia: What did he say?
Julia: "You didn't answer; did you regret our kiss?"
Virginia: Answer no.
I send the message.
Julia: Now what?
Virginia: Wait for him to answer.
Julia: He sent a picture.
Virginia: Open it.
I open the photo and don't quite understand what it is.
Virginia: What did he send, Ju?
Julia: I don't know what it is, but I think it's some kind of caterpillar or something.
Virginia: Strange, I've never seen him with an animal at the mansion... Ask if it's his pet.
Julia: Okay!
I send a message asking.
Julia: He said yes, and he's asking if you like it.
Virginia: I'm not a big fan of those exotic animals. Is it very big?
Julia: Small and with some wrinkles.
Virginia: Yuck... But tell him I thought it was cute.
Julia: Okay.
I send the message Virginia asked for and leave the phone on the bed.
Julia: Vi, I'm going to see if the beans are ready; when you finish showering, you can talk to him better.
Virginia: Okay, Ju, thanks.
I go down to the living room, and Ms. Gloria says she's going out to do some shopping. I turn off the beans and go sit down for a bit.
Virginia: JULIA!!!!!
I'm startled by the scream and run upstairs to see what happened.
Julia: My God, Virginia, what happened?
Virginia: Julia, it's his penis! How could you have mistaken it for an animal!?
Julia: Don't tell me that, Virginia... Those from the school books? But isn't that something too personal?
Virginia: Julia, are you going to tell me you've never seen a real penis? Is that it?
Julia: Of course not, God forbid... Only when we had class about it at school and the teacher asked us to look at the book.
She pulled me onto the bed, and we sat down.
Virginia: So you've never slept with a man?
I shake my head.
Virginia: My God, Julia, I'm sorry for yelling at you... I had no idea; I thought you did it on purpose.
Julia: I would never do anything like that on purpose; didn't I harm you two?
Virginia: No, of course not... He blocked me, but what kind of guy sends a picture like that to a woman out of the blue? I found it very disrespectful. I was delusional, thinking he was into me...
I put my hand on her shoulder.
Julia: You will find someone who loves you very much, as you deserve.
Virginia: We both will, we both will...
We hug.
Virginia: Now let's put together a very nice look for tomorrow's interview.
Julia: I'm going to wear my green dress.
Virginia: No, honey, that dress is begging for help. I'm going to lend you a very nice outfit; come see what you like.
We stayed choosing the outfit, and after dinner, we got ready for bed. The interview wouldn't leave my mind, and I even had a nightmare.
Virginia: Good morning, Julia... Julia?
I come out of the bathroom.
Julia: I'm ready.
Virginia: You didn't wear the outfit we chose?
Julia: It's beautiful, but I feel more comfortable in this one... Look, it's not as old as the green dress.
Virginia: My God, what time is it?
Julia: I couldn't wait; I'm waiting for you in the living room. I'm going to make our breakfast.
I go downstairs and chat with Ms. Gloria and Mr. Joao while Virginia doesn't come down. After she comes down, we have coffee and leave with Mr. Joao.
Joao: Good luck to you, Julia; bye, daughter.
We say goodbye to him and get on the bus.
Some time later, we arrive at the condominium.
Virginia: This house is where I work; the one for the interview is right over there. You tell the security guard that Mr. Diaz is expecting you for a job interview; he will receive you, and the rest is up to you.
Julia: Okay, I can do it.
Virginia: Of course, you can, Julia. Now go, and if anything happens, just call the security guard here, and he'll call me. I'll let him know.
Julia: Thank you; see you later, Vi.
Virginia: See you later.
I head to the mansion and call the security guard as Virginia instructed me; I explain to him, and he tells me to wait.
The house was very beautiful; I noticed the security guard returning and, right behind him, a tall man with light eyes who looked at me with certainly surprise.
Renan: You are the nanny?
Julia: I believe so; my name is Julia.
I hold out my hand, and he shakes it.
We let go of each other's hands, and he continues looking at me; I end up feeling awkward.
Julia: Is something wrong?
Ruan: Something wrong? No, of course not... I just didn't expect you to be so young. Emily said you were experienced.
Julia: Well, it's a long story.
Ruan: Good thing I have plenty of free time today. Let's go inside.
He goes ahead, and I follow close behind.
