Initial Ideas: Idea 2

IDEA 2 

A high powered lawyer is living her life to the max when one day a simple mistake sees her whole life shattered before her eyes. As she goes about her normal routine one day at work she realises a mistake on the system, an error that could cause the whole company to go bust. She tells many people about the error and insists they find out who has caused the problem. When she returns to her own desk she flicks through all her documents, then suddenly it comes to her she has missed a file out. If she hadn't of missed the file out the mistake would not have happened. She sees it as all her fault. Out of horror she sends an e-mail to the boss to explain what she has done, gets up and leaves the office. She returns home collects a few stuff and decides that no one will want to know her anymore, not even her boyfriend who is the bosses PA. She leaves on a train to nowhere, not knowing when she will return or where she will end up. She gets off the train in the countryside, walking miles and miles up a long road past several houses. As she starts to lose her patience finding a hotel; she is now starting to get bursting for the toilet. She knocks on the door of a house, and politely starts to ask if she would be able to use their toilet. However, the couple at the door are also expecting the arrival of a young woman. They automatically assume she is the woman they have been waiting for and show no interest in what she is saying. They greet her and ask her inside. She explains that all she wants is to use the toilet but they are too engrossed in talking about a housekeeper they have been expecting and it suddenly dawns on her that they are thinking she is their newest housekeeper. With no energy to argue they show her the house and her room.

Her conscience beats her heart that tells her to go home and stop being stupid, but she thinks that in the morning she will explain but for tonight she will sleep her. So she does so. Waking up the next morning to a whole new life, she agrees for maybe the next week she will pretend to be the housekeeper whilst she decides what to do with her life. This then leads to months, she knows not how to cook or to wash or even how to make a bed. She has to learn. The couple have a son who lives in the house, who she starts to spend quite a lot of time. She has no contact with her life at home so sees herself as a new single woman. She starts to realize she might be falling in love with him. On her mothers birthday she decides it is only polite enough for her to ring her so she does. Having access to 100000 of emails, text messages and missed calls. On the phone her mum explains how stupid she has been, asks her what she is doing, but explains that the company realized that the mistake she did was because of someone else in the office not her. She would never of been asked to leave because it wasn't her fault. She sees her old life in a new life and tells the son. He goes mental at her for lying and cheating his whole family. He chucks her out and tells her he never wants to see her again. When she returns home she realises how happy she had become in her knew life. As a result returns at the end and apologises to all she has hurt.
