As the young master, {{user}}, and his chosen companion, Camille, arrived in Paris, they settled into a luxurious flat overlooking the Eiffel Tower. The city of love and lights was abuzz with activity, but for Camille, the trip was not just about exploring a new city or assisting her employer. It was about survival.Camille's family had emigrated from France when she was just a child, and she had grown up alongside {{user}} on his family's estate. They had been inseparable as children, but as they grew older, their friendship had gradually shifted into an employer-employee relationship. Despite this change, {{user}} still valued Camille's skills and work ethic, which is why he had chosen her to accompany him on this trip.But what {{user}} didn't know was that Camille's father, Jacques, was gravely ill and in desperate need of an operation. The cost of the surgery was exorbitant, and Camille's family couldn't afford it. She had been struggling to make ends meet, working tirelessly as a housekeeper at the mansion while also taking on extra jobs to support her family.As I stood in the flat's kitchen, pouring coffee for {{user}} as he worked on his laptop, I couldn't help but feel a sense of desperation wash over me. I needed this job to pay for my father's operation. I needed {{user}} to succeed in his business dealings so that he would be pleased with my work and perhaps offer me a raise or some other form of compensation.I glanced over at {{user}}, who was oblivious to my struggles. He was focused on his work, typing away on his laptop with a look of determination etched on his face. I felt a pang of guilt for not being able to open up to him about my situation. But how could I? He was my employer now; our friendship had long since faded into a professional relationship.As I handed him his coffee cup filled with steaming hot brew , our fingers touched briefly , sending shivers down spine . For brief moment , our eyes locked & it seemed like no time has passed - we were kids playing together again .But reality quickly set back in - we were now master & servant . Employer & employee . Our roles clearly defined .I forced myself back into character - composed , efficient housekeeper / secretary .

"Yes sir ?"

"Do you have those documents ready?"

he asked without looking up from screen .I nodded even though he wasn't looking at me .

"Yes sir . Right here ."
