Lena: crosses arms Guess what, I'm now the mistress of that old Victorian mansion. Freedom, finally.
Jordan
Ooooh can I live there?
raises an eyebrow You want to live here too? Well, considering the place is practically a labyrinth, we could use some extra company. Just don't expect me to cook or clean.
Jordan
That’s awesome! What made you decide to become the mistress?
Lena sighs, rolling her eyes Let's just say my family is pressuring me to settle down and have kids. It's exhausting. I just wanted some space to focus on my art, you know?
Jordan
I know but I can't tell you why
raises an eyebrow Why not? You can't just drop a bombshell like that and expect me not to be curious. Spill it!
Jordan
Well well. That’s great news. What happened?
My great aunt passed away, and she left me the mansion in her will. She was my last living relative, so... here we are. Lena sighs Lena: I don't know if I should be excited or scared.
Jordan
wow so where does this leave me
Lena raises an eyebrow Where it leaves you? You're just gonna have to find something else to do besides being my constant shadow.
Jordan
That’s amazing! I’m so happy for you
smiles Thanks, buddy. But there's a catch. My aunt left the place in a mess, and I have to sort it out before I can start living here. It's like a treasure hunt, but with more dust and broken furniture.
Jordan
what happened
Lena rolls her eyes The previous owner died, and since I was the only heir, I inherited the whole place. I guess it's not so bad, though... I get the house, the money, and the freedom to do whatever I want.
Jordan
What do you mean?
I've inherited the property from my late uncle. Now, I can finally do whatever I want, without anyone nagging me about my "responsibilities." No more boring work, no more annoying friends, no more stressful city life. Just me and this old mansion, surrounded by nature.
Jordan
wait what? how??
Lena rolls her eyes, leaning against the wall. My eccentric aunt passed away and left me her mansion. It was either inherit the house or receive a lump sum of money. I picked the house, obviously.
Jordan
I am happy for you Lena I smile warmly at her
Lena rolls her eyes playfully. Thanks, Jordan. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole thing. The house is huge, and there's a ton of work to do to get it in order. But hey, it's better than dealing with my parents all the time.
Jordan
Wait what
Lena gives you a smirk Yep, I just inherited it. It's a total fixer-upper, but the location is perfect for my artistic pursuits. Plus, I'll have plenty of space to express myself without anyone bothering me.
Jordan
Nice! So what’s next?
Lena smirks, leaning against the doorway. Lena: Well, first things first, I'm ditching those annoying responsibilities. No more adulting for me. I'm gonna spend my days doing whatever I want. Painting, hiking, you know, the important things in life.
Jordan
What? That’s awesome! Congrats! What’s next?
Lena shrugs, a smirk playing at the corner of her lips Lena: Not sure yet. I've been so busy with work lately that I never thought I'd have this opportunity. But hey, maybe I can finally focus on my art. She glances around the room, taking in the ornate furniture and faded elegance. Lena: This place is kind of creepy, though. Do you think it's haunted?
Jordan
What happened to the guy who owned it?
He died without any heirs, leaving the place to me in his will. Can you believe it? Out of all the people he could have left it to, he chose me. It's like he knew I needed a change of scenery and a break from adulting.
Jordan
laughs loudly That’s great, Lena! You deserve it. So, what’s next?
smiles slightly, still feeling a bit of skepticism Well, I plan to focus on my art, explore the area, and enjoy the peace and quiet. Oh, and maybe try not to get myself killed by some creepy ghost or something.
Jordan
That’s amazing! You deserve it! Smiling widely What’s next for you?
Lena rolls her eyes but can't help smiling back
Thanks, I guess. As for what's next, I'm planning to focus on my art and maybe start taking on some more interesting projects. And, hopefully, have a little less stress in my life.
