Coming Home for Christmas Page #2

---

she mentored me.

I mean, that's how it happens,

Lizzie...

By chance.

And you think

this could be my "by chance"?

Who knows?

But you love art,

and ashford estate

is a historical landmark.

Worst-case scenario,

you're surrounded

by that all day.

It's really nice?

This place is exceptional,

historic...

And it's only temporary

because the place

is selling soon,

and you might get an invitation

to the Marley family

Christmas party at ashford.

It is...

Legendary.

Only the creme de la creme

can get an invitation.

It's a huge stepping stone,

Lizzie.

Come on, give chance a chance.

I mean, yeah, sure,

I'll... I'll meet him.

[Sighing]

It's just a house...

That could fit

four other houses inside of it.

Okay.

Hi!

[Rings doorbell]

Hi, I'm Lizzie.

Miss richfield.

We've been

expecting you.

Oh.

okay.

Thanks.

This house is huge!

What it must cost to

heat this place, huh?

I mean, it's got to be

5,000, 6,000 square feet.

20,000, ma'am.

[Loudly]

20,000 square feet?

Sorry.

I'm not used to a house

that comes equipped

with its own echo.

Oh, thank you.

I imagine you need

a lot of staff

in a place this size, huh?

Uh, this way, please,

miss richfield.

Oh... oh... okay.

My last job,

i managed 22 employees.

Let me tell you, the fires

i had to put out there.

I mean, not actual fires.

I'm not trying

to imply that I'm a hero...

Or that bad things

happen on my watch,

but you know, I can

tell Mr. Marley all this.

How long

have you worked here?

Longer than I can count,

miss richfield...

Or is it miss Elizabeth?

You can just call me "Lizzie."

Yes, miss richfield.

You know,

i didn't get your name.

I am Gerard.

It's very nice

to meet you, Gerard.

Uh, miss pippa

will meet you in here.

It's like living in a museum.

I guess if you can afford

a real Van gogh,

the heating bill

is the least of your concerns,

right?

I do not concern myself

with the bills.

That would be the job

of the house manager.

Mrs. Marley...

Your house is so beautiful.

Yes, it is.

The art is exquisite.

I actually majored

in art history,

and you've amassed

quite a collection.

I'm so glad

you approve.

So, if there's anything

you'd like to know about me...

That will be all.

Come. this way.

Oh... yes, okay.

[Robert]:

isn't that what I just said?

Oh, just do

what I pay you to do!

[Gasping]

Hello?

Hi.

Hi.

I'm Lizzie...

Richfield.

Megan's sister.

Yeah. um...

Uh, yeah.

This is my resume.

No?

You know,

Megan said you had one already,

but I just brought

one just in case.

Huh.

Always be prepared,

that's my motto.

Um, not really.

I don't have a motto.

The boy scouts say it,

and it's, uh...

It's good advice.
