Jasper found himself moving out of the way as the woman passed by him, watching the whole little…scene. 'well, she's pissed off. lovely.' he mused silently as she looked him over once and then continued on her way. His gaze darted to the young woman who went to shut the door, just noticing Jasper in time. "Yes, that's right" He commented as he stepped up and smiled at the you'd lady, following her inside without another word. No point in acting all negative now, was there?
Once inside he followed along behind her until they came to Alisters office, his gaze finding the male behind his desk, obviously working on something… Though he seemed to dismiss that business quickly as he shooed the woman away and stood up, leaving Jasper rather…uneasy. Now that Jasper was actually all cleaned up he felt…well, a little more presentable. "Uh.. Alright, thank you." He muttered as he was offered the cola and told to sit, doing as he was told. No point in arguing with the man now- he'd have to keep himself…well….under control. He had a habit of expressing his opinion out loud without really thinking first.
And now it was his turn to do the waiting as he set his bag down at his feet, sitting up in his chair properly…as he'd been taught to do over the years as a child. It was odd to grow up in high society and suddenly find yourself at the very bottom…but somewhat humbling as well. He'd learned things already- like the fact that it really wasn't easy to cook and make it look and taste good.
He dared not say anything, figuring Alister would want to have the first word- not that he knew what to say in this situation as it wasn't exactly something that happened to him often.

 Alister Nicholas Gray
Alister stared at him for a moment seeing that he looked good now that he was cleaned up. He then put his attention else where as he grabbed his glasses that sat on a stack of papers. Putting it on he grabbed a manila folder and opened it, sifting to papers, one paper had Jasper's picture and a whole lot of information on him. "Hmm what to do with you," he mumbled to himself as he set the papers down and looked back up at Jasper, reaching up and rubbing his chin. He hadn't shaved for a while since he was working on a good beard and so far it was coming out great. Plus he liked the sound that was made whenever he had to scratch his chin or jaw..yes..oddly.
He came up with the best solution at the moment as he leaned back, pulling out a cigar from a black box. After he lit it he let out a puff of smoke, "For now I'll have you work here as a cleaning servant, we're short on those at the moment." Of course there was no need mentioning what happened to the last guy that was put on cleaning duty. Let's just say he was swimming with the fishes.
"The young lady that escorted you here will fill you in on everything. You'll find her in the servants quarter toward the back. You can go now," He waved him away while taking another puff of the cigar while grabbing the papers he was working with earlier.

Jasper simply sat and watched the male, watching him slip on his glasses and grab the envelope- his stomach churning when he spoke. This was actually kinda of…nerve wracking. He let his gaze flutter to the paper in Alister's hands, before they darted up to look at the man again- while he leaned back and pulled out a cigar. Did everyone in the Mafia smoke? It seemed like a trend…. Maybe they thought it made them look more intimidating? Not really… just made Jasper wonder who would be first to get lung cancer.
When Alister finally named what he was to do he nearly replied with 'cleaning? seriously?' but he kept his mouth shut, knowing that it would be best not to say anything and simply nodded. He could already guess that being 'short on staff' meant that someone had pissed a higher up off and he was….'let go'.
Again he only nodded, standing when he was waved away-taking the cola with him which he had forgotten about until he was outside the door. He stared down at the drink and raised his brows 'why in the world did he even give him this?' well.. it didn't matter. "Towards the back…." He muttered under his breath, wandering the hall until he came across the servants quarters and stepped inside. "Uh…." he suddenly stopped, embarrassed by the fact that he hadn't asked for the young woman's name and simply lifted a hand to run hid fingers through his hair with a nervous chuckle "I've been told to ask the young lady who showed me where Alisters office was to fill me in on my new 'job" He voiced, hoping that she would step forward as there were…actually quite a few people despite the fact that he said he was short staffed…but perhaps staff was always…changing.

The servants quarters almost looked like a separate house hold. Upon walking through the doors he would be walking in what looked like a living room. There was a hall where all the rooms were for the servants to sleep, five bedrooms, four people a room. The chef of the house lived else where as he only came when Alister planned for him to be here. If Alister ever wanted a random plate of food or snack then one of the maids would be in charge of filling his food needs. In another room was the kitchen for their own personal use. It was safe to say that the servants were at least treated well, so long as they did what they were told of course. Not to mention surveillance cameras made sure they didn't steal anything etc.
Finally the young woman from earlier came into the room after leaving the kitchen, right in time to hear Jasper. She waved at him and walked over to him, "That would be me! My name is Sarah and I'll give you a small tour of our quarters and explain to you our schedule and what you're expected to do." She then began to show him around as she opened one of the bedrooms. "This is where you will be staying. The other three guys are out in the living room but they're really nice so i'm sure they'll welcome you to their room. All the rooms look the same but still nice right?" She then motioned for him to follow as she opened another door. "This is the bathroom that all you guys share. Two showers and two sinks and two toilets. Makes it easier, we girls have the same bathroom by our bedrooms"
Moving on she showed him the kitchen as she opened the fridge, "Here we all pitch in to buy groceries but of course if you buy something for yourself be sure to put your name on whatever you buy and put in the fridge and cabinet since anyone will eat it if there is no name on it. We are of course to clean up after ourselves. If you don't clean up after yourself you will have a big problem with all the servants and Mr. Gray won't be happy to hear complaints." After the tour and the rules of the "house" she sat at the kitchen table with Jasper as she handed him a paper with what he was to do every day.
"Here is your schedule, you are expected to get that all done and when you have it done you can do whatever you want with your free time but since your new you'll be tasked to spend your free time in the servants quarters so that if Mr. Gray needs anything and no one else is around then you are required to fulfill whatever Mr. Gray wants. 6am you are to be up and clean up Mr. Gray's room. After than clean the guest bathroom so with those two you should be done around 11am. So here at 11am you will have to take the dogs out back and let them play around for a good hour. 12pm clean the dogs then feed them. 12:30 you get that 30 minutes of break time. Then 1pm gotta go clean the theater room which is usually dirty considering the guests that come by daily to enjoy entertainment. That should take you 2 hours at most so 3pm you will wash whatever car that needs to be washed. With at least another hour or two, by 5pm you will clean the dining room from lunch so dinner can be prepared for Mr. Gray's guests. He's here every now and then but not every day. Anyway 6pm you're done for the day and can do as you wish in the servants quarters. Any questions?"

Jasper smiled at the young woman as she introduced herself, well at least the staff seemed to be friendly even if the 'employer' himself wasn't. "Jasper, and I appreciate it, thank you Sarah" He voiced as she gave him the tour- glad that he had a good memory from working in his fathers office for so long… Though the schedule was a bit more hectic than what he was used to.
He had sat himself across from the young woman and was now looking for his schedule, already exhausted at the thought of all of this. "No…. It's all pretty straight forward. I take it I start tomorrow morning? …..well, I look forward to working with you." He voiced, feeling weary but…well things were going to be better he hoped- as living in that tiny apartment alone with no real means of taking care of himself had been horrid.
Finally he lifted a hand to run his fingers through his curly locks, ruffling them a bit as a boyish and slightly disarming smile took to his lips "Would it be alright if I go for a walk outside? I won't go far I just…need some air"
