Lisa had began unpacking by the time she was retrieved. [color=fff200]"One moment!"[/color] She called out, quickly putting away the nightgown she was holding. A sudden sense of nervousness consumed her. She would be meeting her boss. One wrong word or action, and she could be kicked out. Who knew when the next job opening would be for any other family? She would have no choice but to go back to her family for the time being. Her future plans would be put on hold.

Wringing her hands together, she glanced in a mirror to make sure she looked alright before opening the door. Lisa paraded down the steps and quickly spotted Ralf. He was certainly prim and proper, but also very level minded. [i]Surely he'll be around while I'm meeting Sir Studwick, in case he makes a sudden rash decision?[/i] Lisa thought. She approached him, visibly a little nervous but trying to keep her cool. As long as she was herself, everything would be alright.... hopefully.

[i]When did I get so anxious?[/i] She couldn't help but wonder. She looked up at Ralf and offered a hopeful smile. [color=fff200]"Pleasure seeing you again,"[/color] she greeted.

[color=39b54a]"Likewise. Follow me, Sir Studwick is waiting,"[/color] Ralf returned, starting to walk the short distance to his employer's study. Lisa followed behind him, her heart racing at such a rapid pace she wondered if he could hear it. Within only a few seconds they arrived at their destination and Ralf strolled into the room, Lisa at heel. She looked over at her employer who was sitting behind a plethora of papers. He looked like a busy man. 

Despite her nervousness, she forced herself to look confident. [color=fff200]"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you,"[/color] she said with a curtsy. [color=fff200]"My name is Lisa Thorne."[/color]
