Exchange Of Hearts

Chapter Five: Rich And Fabulous

Cassandra "Cassie" Montana is currently at Zurich airport as she is waiting for her flight back home. She just finished doing her European tour and it's time to go back home because the summer vacation is over and she needs to get ready for the new school year at Northwood University. She is now talking to her mother over the phone before her flight.

"Cassie, dear... I have some news for you, and I'm going to tell you about it once you get back home." her mother relayed.

"Can't you talk about it over the phone, Mom?" Cassie asked, while looking a bit interested.

"Well, it's better if we talk about it at home, darling. Anyway, have a safe flight back home and we'll see you soon. Love you, Cassie." her mother finally said goodbye.

"Alright, Mom. See you the soonest." Cassie said in return.

After that phone call, Cassie finally heard her flight being announced on the speakers inside the airport. She stood up, and walked her way towards the departure area...

=================================

The next day.

Elisia woke up early in the morning, just like what she usually does, even back in Willow Creek.

She greeted her roommates, who are also part of Montana's family household staff.

"Good morning!" Elisia greeted everyone with a smile on her face.

"Good morning, Elisia!" one of the house staff, Sheila, smilingly greeted her back.

"Did you have a good sleep, Elisia?" Lisa asked, as she got up from the bunk bed.

"Yes, I slept like a baby, and now I'm ready to start working!" Elisia said in return.

"I hope you don't mind me asking Elisia, but... You said last night that your mother and Mrs.Montana were best friends, and they were very close to each other... Why did you decide to work as a housemaid and sleep here at the maid's sleeping quarters?" Sheila started talking, as the three of them were busy fixing their beds.

"Oh, I just feel like it's the right thing to do. I mean I am already fortunate to be able to live and eat here for free. And besides, the Montana family is going to help me with my studies, so I would like to work here to return their kindness to me." Elisia gave out a lengthy explanation.

"I see. Well, we're very happy that you're here, Elisia. And if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask us for help, okay?" Lisa relayed.

"Thank you, Sheila and Lisa! I really appreciate your warm welcome." Elisia sincerely thanked her new friends.

Elisia is now making her way to the bathroom to start her morning routine. As she washed her face, she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement about the day ahead.

After she finished her morning routine, Elisia made her way to the staff room, where the other house helpers were already gathered. They greeted her with smiles and they were all very welcoming...

Elisia couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to work at the Montana house. She was looking forward to starting her day and getting to work. The house helpers helped her put on her uniform and gave her her assigned tasks for the day, and she was off to start her work.

As she made her way to her assigned area, Elisia was already thinking about the tasks she had to do. She knew that she had a lot of responsibility on her hands, but she was eager to prove herself and make a great impression on the family. This was a big opportunity for her, and she was determined to do everything in her power to make the most of it...

==================================

As soon as Elisia finished her first task, she is now talking to Miss Viela, who is the Head Housekeeper in the Montana Family Household.

"Elisia, dear... Please clean the room upstairs before our young master comes home from her trip to Europe..." Miss Viela, the main butler, reminded her.

"I'll do it right away, Miss Viela." Elisia answered right away.

This is going to be her first time to go inside the Mrs. Montana's daughter's room. She is the only child of the Montana family, the heir to the family's vast fortune.

She promised herself not to get too curious, and she will do her task well.

She started climbing upstairs while holding a rag and a can of air freshener. She was taught how to use a vacuum cleaner, so she will use it later on to suck all the dust from each corner of the room. Elisia thoughtfully frowned when she noticed that Cassandra's room door was a bit open...

But still, she carefully enters the room, without making any sound.

Elisia's jaw dropped as she stepped into the room. It was like stepping into a fairytale, a world of pure, unadulterated pink. The walls were a soft, shimmering shade of rose, adorned with delicate floral wallpaper. A crystal chandelier, its prisms catching the sunlight streaming through the window, cast a dazzling array of rainbows across the room. The furniture, all plush velvet and intricate carvings, was a symphony of feminine elegance.

"Wow," Elisia breathed, her eyes wide with admiration and awe. "This is incredible."

Elisia, still mesmerized by the room's grandeur, nodded, her gaze lingering on the intricate details. A plush pink rug, soft as a cloud, covered the floor, while a matching chaise lounge, draped with a silk throw, beckoned her to sink into its luxurious embrace. A vanity, its surface adorned with an array of perfumes and cosmetics, stood in one corner, a testament to Cassandra's love for all things beautiful.

"It's like a princess's bedroom," Elisia said, her voice filled with wonder. "It's so...perfect."

She could see the love, the care, the attention to detail that had gone into creating this haven for Cassandra. It was a room that reflected her personality, her dreams, her aspirations.

"I can't wait to meet her," Elisia said, her voice filled with anticipation. "I'm sure she's as wonderful as her room."

As Elisia stood there, taking in the beauty and grandeur of Cassandra's room, she felt a sense of warmth and welcome. She knew that she had found a home, a place where she could be herself, where she could feel loved and accepted. And she couldn't wait to get to know the girl who had created this magical haven...
