"Michelle, I happen to need someone to cook meals for me. I'll send you the address. Come over whenever it's convenient for you. Just let me know before you head out," Tessa said.

Michelle chuckled cheerfully. "I'm free right now. Are you home? I can come over now."

"Sure, come on over."

"Good. She tends to forget to eat when she gets busy. The place is close to her firm, so you'll need to deliver lunch to her office on weekdays. I'll cover your salary for that. But if she offers to pay you, don't refuse. And don't tell her I sent you."

Hearing that she could earn double pay, Michelle beamed with joy and quickly replied, "Of course, Mr. Jacobson. I'll make sure to take good care of Ms. Yates."
