Residing Dreams (Chapter 103)

I was lead up the grand twisting staircase and through a couple of corridors.Finally,we arrived at a hallway with beige colored walls.Ms.Ledezma said to me,”Here are your rooms in which you will stay.”I didn’t know what to say, so for a moment,I just stood there.I twisted my hands “Okay,”I squeaked.This portion of the house was also decorated with beautiful paintings and photographs. There seemed to be more flowers in this hallway than anywhere else in the mansion. I stared at my surroundings. After a bit of silence, Ms.Ledezma spoke. “Mr. Chrysanthemum always said that this place could use a woman’s touch, and we are all in agreement with him. I’m sure you will be as a ray of sunshine in one way or another,and I reckon that is exactly what is needed here.After all, Mr.Chrysanthemum wouldn’t just invite a gifted child here for no reason. Also there’s the fact that you will be attending his camp.But perhaps you should keep your eyes open.For it’s not every day a young American lady comes to London, is it?”
