Overworked

Maddie’s P.O.V
I woke up a few more times after that but I got more sleep than last night. I got up at about 6 and fed the twins again and then got ready for the day. I was putting my makeup on when Harry woke up. “Milk’s in the fridge. I’m gonna wake the kids up.” I stood up and went downstairs. I got Brooke and Adam up and then helped Lis. They all went and ate breakfast and then picked up their school bags while I ushered them out of the door, car keys in hand. I unlocked the car and they all got in. “Bye Harry!” I shouted up the stairs.
“Bye love, have a good day.” He shouted back. I smiled to myself and got into the car. I dropped off Brooklyn and Adam first and then Lis. When I got to work there was a queue out of the door. I parked and got my bag out and walked into the office.
“You tweeted, they’re all here,” Isabelle whispered.
“Well then you need to help me interview them. And Emily, I need someone to run this place or I’ll have to shut it down.” I told her.
“Okay, should we go into the spare office?” She asked.
“Yeah, get the first five and bring them outside the door while I set up.” I said and she nodded. I went into the office and Isabelle and Emily joined me soon after. We called in the interviewee and we had interviewed about 50 before we found one that we liked. “Hi, what’s your name?”
“I’m Hannah Kent.”
“How old are you?” I asked noticing she looked quite young.
“I’m 19.” She told us. I was slightly surprised by that. I find it hard to run this business and a 19 year old thinks she can do it? No chance.
“Really? And you think you can manage a fashion design company?” Isabelle voiced my thoughts.
“Yeah, I’m really into fashion and want to start my own company so when I saw your tweet I just thought that I should try out. I can leave if you don’t think I can do it though,”
“No, no.” I said intrigued by this girl. “You sound like me when I was 19. I like you. Have you brought examples of your designs?” I questioned and she pulled some out of her bag. I looked at them and they were amazing. “I’m guessing you’ll be able to handle clients?”
“Yeah,” she said quite confident of herself.
“1 week trial starting tomorrow, you can do my job and if the business is still running by the end of the trial you’ve got the job. Just so you know, you’ll be in charge or all orders in the UK and Ireland. You’ll also be in close partnership with me in California.” I told her.
“Thank you so much. I understand. What time should I be here?” She said excitedly.
“Be here at 9am. I’ll be in on Monday to check how you’re doing. You’ll be in my office and working with my PA, Isabelle, for this week but she’s moving with me to California and you’ll have to find your own PA but if you do well then you’ll be in charge of assigning your executives and stuff. See you on Monday.” I said. She nodded and got up. She left the room and I asked Isabelle to tell the other interviewees that we had found someone. She did so and I went into my office. I picked up the box from under my desk and filled it up with my stuff. When I had finished, I sealed it and left the office. “See you on Monday.” I said to Isabelle.
“Okay, good luck packing.” She laughed.
“You too,” I smiled and went to my car. I put the box in and drove back home. I walked in and Harry was sat on the couch watching TV. “You could have started packing.” I said and dumped the box in the hallway.
“Yeah yeah, did you find someone?”
“Yep, they’re 19 but they seem to know what they’re talking about. She’s on trial for a week.” I told him.
“Okay, do you wanna start packing?” He turned to me.
“Yeah, we need to get it done soon.” I answered.
“Where should we start?” He asked.
“How many bedrooms does the house have?” I questioned. I haven’t really looked at the brochure but Harry has been round the house so he should know.
“Eight, there are two in the basement, five on the first floor and one on the second.” He replied. Wow this house is massive.
“Well let’s start in the spare bedrooms outside then because we’ll need the stuff from them for the two spares.” I said.
“Okay,” he got up and grabbed the baby monitor following after me. I picked up some boxes and we went out into the bedrooms. We packed everything out there that we would need into boxes only being interrupted once by the twins and then Harry went to pick up the kids from school. I labelled the boxes with ‘Spare Bedrooms’ and went inside. I got another box and packed all the ornaments in the dining room into it. I got the house brochure to check what rooms this new house has. In the basement there are two bedrooms, a bathroom and like a playroom which will come in handy. On the ground floor there is a kitchen, dining room, living room, office and bathroom much like this house but there is also a utility room which I can put the washing machine and ironing board in. On the first floor there are five bedrooms and three bathrooms and then on the second floor there is the master bedroom, bathroom, nursery, a gym and a room purely filled with wardrobes. I labelled the box ‘Dining Room’ and heard the car doors shut. The kids and Harry came in and Harry walked into the dining room. “It looks so bare,” he said.
“I know…” I said hugging him.
“How are the twins?”
“Asleep, I haven’t heard them for a while.” I told him.
“Okay, do you want me to get started on dinner?” he asked.
“Urm, yeah, okay.” He went into the kitchen and started cooking and I packed up half of the office before I got bored and dinner was done. I ate my dinner and then sat watching TV.
“Mummy, can you give me a bath?” Lis asked sitting down next to me.
“Okay baby, you go upstairs and I’ll be up in a minute.” I told her. I waited for about 5 minutes and then went upstairs. I ran the bath and put Lis into it. I washed her and her hair and she got ready for bed.
“Can I watch TV?” She questioned standing in her Minnie Mouse pyjamas.
“Go on then, I’m going upstairs, goodnight baby.” I kissed her cheek. She ran downstairs and I went up to the twins. I put them to bed and went down to Harry. He was watching TV with Lis next to him. “Come on, bedtime now sweetie.” I told her and she listened and went up to bed. I told Brooke and Adam to go to bed too. Harry and I spent some time together and then went to bed ourselves.
