Coming Home for Christmas Page #3

---

Huh.

You'll be living here

at ashford full-time,

on call 24-7.

The entire staff

will report to you.

You're going

to be the liaison

between me and the sale

here at ashford.

You'll need to pack up

and send all the antiques

to the auction house.

You'll also be coordinating

and planning

the annual Marley family

Christmas Eve gala.

This is going

to be the last one ever,

so it's got

to be one for the books.

My brother kip

will be home for it,

as will my sister Sloane

and her family,

I think,

so you'll need to plan

and coordinate

their arrivals as well.

-So...

-and lastly,

you're to see that all

my grandmother's needs are met.

She still lives here at ashford,

though not for much longer.

Is that clear,

or do you need me

to write that down?

I'm sorry,

I'm a little confused.

I thought

this was a job interview.

No, an endorsement

from someone I trust

is worth more than gold,

and your sister

has never steered me wrong

in a transaction.

So I'm... a transaction?

No, I... I didn't...

I don't mean

that I don't see you

as a woman...

Uh, I, a...

Person.

I do.

I mean, obviously,

you're a woman,

and you're also a person.

You're both.

And I was

just kidding.

Oh! yeah.

No, no, no, right.

Right. ha.

Yeah, I knew you were kidding.

Oh, good.

Yeah.

So you start

right away.

I'll make sure that Gerard

has your room ready, okay?

Uh... huh.

[]

So, first day.

Are you nervous?

Insanely, yes.

What else can you tell me

about Robert Marley?

There's just

so little information about him

online.

You're cyber-

stalking him?

It's called

due diligence, Meg.

[Laughs]

What?

I just want to know

what I'm walking into

this morning.

Like you don't

Google your clients.

Uh, when I get a listing

like ashford,

I tend not to ask

any questions...

But...

What did you find out?

Not much.

He brokers mergers

and acquisitions.

His parents were killed

in a car accident

when he was 13.

So sad.

His grandmother raised him

and his two younger siblings

at ashford.

Yeah,

i know about his parents,

and it's awful.

I haven't met

his siblings yet,

but I'm really looking

forward to,

especially kip Marley.

They say

he's the most eligible

bachelor in D.C.,

and you're sort of going

to be living with him.

It's a job, Megan.

I know, I know.

And like you said,

it's temporary.

Yes,

and it could be

very temporary.

I already have

a potential buyer

who's interested

in looking at the house.

It's not a house,

it's a county.

I'm not kidding.

I'm going to need a GPS

to find my way around there.

Oh, the place is so incredible,

but it's so... cold.

Don't you think?

I need to get some Christmas
