"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.

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."
