<div style="text-align: justify;">Bradley Residence, 9 a.m.<br/><br/>The maid opened the door as soon as she got to it. She had already been informed of who the man att he door was, so she didn't need to check through the peephole.<br/><br/>Letting James in, the woman smiled and nodded when he introduced himself. "It is a pleasure, Mr. Mercer. I am Margareth. Mr. and Mrs. Bradley are just finishing breakfast. Please, do follow me".<br/><br/>The woman would wait for James to follow, and then lead him to a small study. "Please, do wait here", she requested. "Would you like something to drink? A cup of coffee, tea, or something else?", the woman offered, politely.<br/><br/>The maid would wait for James to reply before excusing herself, either to bring whatever he had requested or to let another member of the house staff know that Mr. Mercer was waiting to see Mr. and Mrs. Bradley.<br/><br/>At the dining room, the couple was indeed finishing their breakfast. They had taken a little longer than usual, as they had been talking about the new situation with the bodyguard. As soon as their butler entered the room to tell them that Mr. Mercer was waiting in the study, though, they both nodded and got up, Mr. Bradley getting up first to pull his wife's chair.<br/><br/>In a moment or two, the butler would open the door to the study, and let the couple in. Mr. Bradley was obviously a good fifteen to twenty years older than his wife, but she seemed to actually like him, judging by the way she looked at the man.<br/><br/>Mr. Bradley was the one to speak first. "I'm sorry we have kept you waiting", he started, before leading his wife to a chair and waiting for her to sit down. "This is Mrs. Angelica Bradley, my wife. You will be working for her, should she approve of you". The young woman nodded at the man's words. "It is a pleasure, Mr. Mercer", she murmured politely. "Would you mind telling me about your work experience on the field?", she requested, hoping the man would be a good fit for her, so they could move past this awkward moment.</div>
