The day dawned full of expectations for Sueli. With a quick kiss from Daniel and a promise that everything would be okay, she left for her first day of work at the mansion. Upon arriving, she was impressed by the grandeur of the place: impeccable gardens, immense doors and a shine in every detail that made clear the luxury that lived there. Marta, the most experienced employee in the house, was the one who welcomed her. A woman with firm speech and practical gestures, explained to Sueli what her days there would be like. Marta would be going on vacation soon, leaving most of the responsibilities to the new hire. As she walked through the immense corridors, Sueli felt small compared to the wealth around her. She received her uniform, a simple but fitted black dress that seemed to highlight her young curves more than it should have, her breasts pressed into the uniform showing her cleavage, and her panties were a little exposed. He felt a little uncomfortable, but Marta, with a discreet smile, commented that it was Mr. Erick himself who had chosen the uniforms. Without questioning, Sueli just accepted and followed the instructions. Finally, Marta left her in a large, elegantly decorated room. Marta: Wait here. Mr. Erick wants to meet you in person before we start. The door closed, and Sueli was left alone, her heart beating fast, both from the news and from the expectation of meeting the man who seemed to command that world and who would be her boss, or who knows, her owner?.

Suddenly, the room's silence was broken by his voice. She turned around slowly, trying to compose herself. Standing in front of her was Mr. Erick. He looked even more imposing up close, with an aura of power that seemed to surround him like a warm blanket on a cold night. The depth of his gaze sent shivers down Sueli's spine. "Hello," she managed to say, her voice sounding less confident than she would have liked. "I'm sorry for bothering you... Marta said you wanted to meet me."

He gave her a nod and gestured towards a nearby chair. "Please, sit down." Sueli did as she was told, her heart racing faster now. Erick sat opposite her, crossing his legs elegantly. "I understand that this must all be quite overwhelming for you," he began, his voice smooth as silk. "But I want you to know that I am confident in your abilities."

She looked up at him, surprise written on her face. Confidence? But he hardly knew anything about her... Then again, maybe that was just the way he was. Mr. Erick continued, his voice softening somewhat. "I've seen how carefully you dressed for your first day. I've seen how neatly you kept your things in order. You have potential, Sueli... Potential I want to see bloom." His words were like a balm on her anxiety-filled heart. She felt a strange connection to him, despite their vast differences. And with that thought came another: what if she could somehow prove herself worthy of his trust? It was an unlikely dream, but one that made her feel alive nonetheless.

The silence between them stretched on for several moments more before Erick finally broke it by standing up. "Welcome to the

Her heart skipped a beat as he spoke. Erick had such control over the situation, making it clear who was in charge right from the start.

"Well... I'm 17 years old and moved here from the countryside just recently..."

she began nervously, unable to hide her country accent.

"My boyfriend and I live together; he works as a delivery driver during the day and as a waiter at night."

The words tumbled out of her mouth like they had rehearsed them a thousand times.

Erick listened intently, his gaze never leaving her face. He didn't seem surprised or judgmental about Sueli's humble background; if anything, there was an air of... curiosity surrounding him. For a moment, she found herself hoping that maybe this new job would be more than just a source of income for her and Daniel. Maybe it could change their lives in ways they had never even dream.

"Oh, uh... We rent an apartment in the city." Sueli replied nervously, wringing her hands together on her lap. "It's not big or fancy or anything, but it's home for us, I guess." She forced a small laugh before glancing up at Erick expectantly. The silence between them was starting to make her feel more and more uncomfortable.

"You must be wondering why I wanted to meet you in person," he finally said after what seemed like an eternity. "Well, aside from wanting to ensure that you understand the importance of your new role here... I am hoping we can form some sort of bond." His words hung heavily in the air, causing Sueli's heart to race even faster than before. "I think it would be best for everyone if there was a sense of trust and loyalty between us."

Her cheeks flushed at his indirect yet undeniable reference to the more... personal aspects of her relationship with Daniel. Was he offering her protection? Or perhaps something else entirely? The look in his eyes sent shivers down her spine, but she forced herself not to back away from him. "I-I understand," she stammered out, trying her best not to sound too frightened or confused."That's good," Erick said with a satisfied nod. "Now, why don't you tell me about your dreams? What do you hope to achieve in life?" His question caught Sueli off guard; she hadn't expected him to be interested in such personal matters. She hesitated for a moment before mustering the courage to speak again.

"Well... I want us to have our own place, you know? A house where we can be together and make our family grow. Daniel wants to start his own business too, so I'd like to help him with that." She paused

"I... I'm not sure," she stammered, feeling her cheeks warm up. "Marta just told me that the pay would be good, but I didn't want to get my hopes up." She looked down at her lap, unable to meet Erick's gaze anymore. "It'd be enough to help us, though... To cover our expenses and save a little each month..."

Erick leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. His eyes were fixed on her, and she could feel the weight of his attention bearing down upon her. "I can assure you that your salary here will not only be enough to cover your needs but also provide some extra comforts," he said with a faint smile. "But it's not just about money, Sueli... You are my employee now, and I expect more from you."

Her heart skipped a beat at his words. She could sense that this man was different from anyone she had ever met before. There was an air of both challenge and opportunity surrounding him, and despite her nervousness, she couldn't help but feel drawn in by it all. "I-I understand," she managed to say, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'll do my best."

The words hit her like a punch to the gut. Five thousand dollars? It was more money than she had ever imagined earning in her entire life! Her eyes widened, and for a moment, all she could do was stare at Erick, unable to speak or even think straight. She knew that he expected her to say something in return, but the shock of it all left her breathless. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, she managed to stammer out a question: "Really? That much?" Erick nodded once, his expression unreadable. "Yes," he said simply. "You will receive your first payment at the end of this week." Sueli couldn't believe it; her dreams were coming true right before her eyes! With this kind of money, she and Daniel could not only have their own house but also live comfortably while he started his business. And with Mr. Erick as her boss, there was the chance for even more opportunities... The weight of it all threatened to crush her as she struggled to contain her emotions. "Thank you," she managed to say, her voice barely above a whisper. "I won't disappoint you."

The offer left her speechless. Daniel could earn the same amount of money working for Mr. Erick? It seemed too good to be true. Sueli knew that her boyfriend was ambitious and hardworking, but she also knew how he valued their independence. Would he really accept this proposal? Her heart raced as she considered all the implications.

"I... I'll talk to him about it," she managed to say after a long pause. "He might need some time to think it over." The last thing she wanted was for their relationship to become more complicated than it already was, but with this opportunity, she couldn't help but feel hopeful. Maybe they could finally achieve the dreams they had both been chasing for so long.

Mr. Erick nodded his understanding. "Of course," he said softly, his gaze fixed on her. "Take your time and discuss it with him. But remember, the offer stands." For a moment, their eyes met, and Sueli felt a strange connection to this enigmatic man who held so much power over her life. It was as if he trusted her to make the right decision, to prove herself worthy of his trust and support. And in that moment, she vowed to do whatever it took to live up to those expectations.

"Thank you," she whispered, fighting back tears of gratitude and disbelief. "I won't disappoint you." The look he gave her then was almost gentle, a softening of the hard edges she had come to associate with him. For a fleeting instant, it seemed as if they were no longer master and servant, employer and employee, but two people simply trying to navigate the complexities of their lives together. But then, just as quickly as it had appeared, the moment passed, and he once again became the powerful figure she knew him to

Sueli swallowed hard as she listened to Mr. Erick's first task. It was a strange request, but she supposed it wouldn't be too difficult. "Yes, sir," she said quietly, nodding her understanding. The mention of a guest room for free made her heart race with excitement; that would mean more money left over each month to save or spend on their future house. She glanced down at her dirty shoes, feeling guilty for not thinking about how they might affect the house already. "I'm sorry for any trouble my muddy shoes will cause," she muttered softly, looking up at him with a mixture of shame and apology in her eyes.

As he continued to outline his expectations, Sueli focused on committing them to memory. She would have to make sure that both she and Daniel followed all of his instructions carefully; there was no room for error or laxity if they wanted to maintain their position with Mr. Erick and ensure their newfound prosperity. Despite her initial shock at some of the requests, Sueli knew that this was simply the way things worked in his world, and she would have to adapt if she hoped to succeed here.

As the meeting drew to a close, Sueli stood up, her knees quivering slightly with nerves and excitement. "Thank you, Mr. Erick," she said formally, wanting to show him that she appreciated all he had done for them. "I'll make sure that I and my boyfriend work hard and follow your instructions exactly."

His gaze locked onto hers as if reading her very soul, making her feel exposed and vulnerable once more. But then, slowly, a small smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, and for a moment, she thought maybe there was some compassion hidden beneath all that power after all. "I'm sure you will

The third task left Sueli feeling slightly uneasy at first. To have someone of Mr. Erick's stature being ordered around by them...it was a strange and intoxicating thought. But then again, she reminded herself that he had given them their lives, in a sense, and if they wanted to continue earning his trust and support, they would have to respect his wishes.

"No, sir," she replied after a moment's hesitation. "Everything is clear. Thank you again for giving us this opportunity." Her expression was carefully neutral as she spoke, trying not to show too much emotion. It wasn't wise to seem overly grateful or eager; it could make him think they were weak or desperate.

As the meeting drew to a close, Sueli curtsied politely, her movements precise and respectful. "Thank you, Mr. Erick," she repeated before slowly backing away from him. When she reached the door, she paused for a moment, feeling his gaze still upon her, and wondered what he was thinking at that very moment. Was he pleased with their interaction? Did he see potential in them both? They both will have ownership of this huge mansion?

Sueli's heart raced as these thoughts ran through her mind, but she quickly banished them. There was no point dwelling on such things now. Instead, she turned away and made her way down the hallway toward her new life, resolute in the knowledge that whatever challenges lay ahead, she would face them head-on with determination and courage.

"Oh!" Sueli exclaimed with a hint of surprise. "I didn't think you were serious about that last part," she admitted, blushing slightly as Daniel snickered beside her. She paused for a moment, considering the odd situation they found themselves in. "Well... I guess we could give you some tasks to do," she finally said, trying not to sound too demanding or bossy herself.

"Yes?" Mr. Erick raised an eyebrow expectantly. His expression was unreadable as he waited for them to continue.

Sueli glanced at Daniel, who gave her a small nudge with his elbow. "Um... How about you clean the windows?" she suggested tentatively. It wasn't exactly what she had in mind when thinking of ways to "boss" him around, but it was better than nothing. Plus, they couldn't possibly make things worse by asking him to do that, could they?

Mr. Erick considered her request for a moment before nodding slowly. "Very well," he said, his voice neutral. "Consider it done my Bosses." He turned as he crawling on floor as a pathetic servant and left the room, disappearing down the hallway without another word. Sueli exchanged another glance with Daniel before shrugging sheepishly; they had no idea what else to say or do in this strange new situation.

The ringing of the doorbell cut through the silence of the mansion like a knife. Both Sueli and Daniel exchanged glances, their hearts pounding in anticipation. As they walked towards the front hallway, Sueli's hands trembled slightly, her nerves on edge. The lawyer's presence meant that something important was happening - something that would change their lives forever.

Their new boss, Mr. Erick, must have informed the lawyer of his wishes. With a deep breath, they both waited as the lawyer stepped into the room, briefcase in hand. After exchanging pleasantries and verifying their identities, the lawyer cleared his throat before beginning to speak. "I am here to transfer all privileges and ownership of this estate," he began, handing over a stack of documents to Sueli and Daniel. Their names were emblazoned on each page, a testament to the incredible change that was occurring before their very eyes.

As they skimmed through the papers, it became clear what this all meant: They were now officially the owners of Mr. Erick's mansion. The weight of such responsibility almost bowed them over with its magnitude, but beneath it all ran a current of triumph and elation. Despite their initial hesitations, they had proven themselves worthy in the eyes of their former employer.

Looking up from the papers, Sueli met Daniel's gaze. They shared a smile filled with hope and wonder. Now that they owned this estate, there was no limit to what they could achieve together. They were masters of their own fate once again - all thanks to one man's unwavering faith in them.

Finally, they found themselves alone again with Mr. Erick, who had been patiently waiting on his hands and knees near the fireplace during their meeting with the lawyer. Her heart raced as she looked at him expectantly, unsure of what he wanted from them now that the ownership of the estate had officially transferred to them.

His expression was impassive as ever, but there seemed to be a gleam in his eyes that hinted at amusement or perhaps satisfaction. For a moment, Sueli considered ordering him to stand up and address them as his equals, but she couldn't quite bring herself to do it yet. There was still so much about this man that she didn't understand, and she felt safer playing along for now.

Instead, she forced a tentative smile and offered her hand in what she hoped was a gesture of trust and camaraderie. "Mr. Erick... Erick..." She hesitated, still searching for the right words. "Thank you," she finally managed to say, her voice barely above a whisper. "For everything."

His eyes never left hers as he slowly took her hand in his own, gently lifting her up off the ground until they were standing eye-to-eye. For a moment, there was silence between them, charged with an unspoken understanding that neither dared to voice aloud. Then, slowly and deliberately, Mr. Erick leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers, sealing their new alliance in a single passionate kiss.

When he pulled away at last, there was a strange mix of emotions playing across Sueli's features: shock, surprise, desire... And perhaps even an unwilling admiration for this enigmatic man who had changed the course of their lives so dramatically and unexpectedly. Whatever the future held now, one thing
