Babysitter for the CEO

At Evelyn’s mansion.

10. 50 am.

Evelyn had woken Vanessa up early to have a princess bath in her (Evelyn’s) own bathroom since Vanessa had destroyed the bath tub and shower head in her bathroom last night.

She was stunned when she saw Vanessa’s hair that had strips of red in her once fully blonde hair.

“Your fairy level increased?” Evelyn asked at that time.

But Vanessa did not reply.

Now Evelyn had dolled her bestie up with the most expensive things she could find at her wardrobe and vanity table.

“Baby girl, you need to help us show him how blind he is.” Evelyn said.

Obviously, she still recalled Jack Reynolds’ insult yesterday that she, Evelyn, was a monk fish. That insult cut deep into her heart. There’s no need to worry or hurry too much for now. When it’s the right time, she will take a delicious satisfying revenge on that guy. Hmph!

Vanessa on the other hand, felt helpless when she stared at the mirror.

“Bestie, you dolled me up like this. Makes me so uncomfortable.” she whined but Evelyn pretended not to hear.

“This is exactly how you should be looking, baby girl. Listen to your senior sis for once, k? I know the best for my bestie.” she patted Vanessa’s head gently while Vanessa rolled her eyes.

“Childish!” she scoffed and Evelyn stuck out her small pink tongue and both chuckled.

When they headed downstairs, the bodyguard that Lisa’s dad assigned to ‘protect’ them was already waiting for a long time.

He saw how Vanessa looked and he smiled.

Vanessa is clad in simple yet elegant make-up, her hair in arranged in two ponytails, a thin silver necklace that rested around her neck, a plain knee-length grey gown, transparent stockings and silver low flats as Vanessa kept refusing all the heels that Evelyn showed to her earlier. She holding a silver purse and sporting transparent, non-medical glasses.

In one sentence, her current look could be called ‘Simple and elegant refreshment’.

Mr Jack’s bodyguard sighed internally.

‘Boss is indeed blind to beauties.’ he thought.

Vanessa and Evelyn did not speak with their mouth but instead telepathed. Ah, this ability is too good, eh!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lisa’s dad mansion.

Tastefully furnished and eyeopening; it was like a new world for Vanessa who was following after the bodyguard who kept an icy face.

‘Wah, so luxurious. Even if I work till death, I still can’t afford anything here. Ah, this is too painful. Too arrogant to a peasant like me.’ she thought in defeat.

She recalled how Jack Reynolds had easily tricked her yesterday and clenched her fists.

That guy! It’s a waste for him to have such good looks. People like him needed to look like pigs and have bull horns to show his wickedness. He did not even deserve Lisa.

Thinking of Lisa, she calmed down.

She had to admit, she missed Lisa. That cute little bun to brings a smile to her face. Ah, she calls her mummy. Having an irresistable cute baby girl is so wonderful!

While she was lost in her thoughts, the bodyguard took her to reality by clearing his throat.

“Miss, you can go in to see the master,” he said and then turned to walk away. He didn’t even allow her to ask questions.

Vanessa just stood in front of the huge door before her that screamed ‘ Hey paupers, I’m expensive! I’m priceless, everyone! The best quality!’

She almost had a headache looking at it. So rich!

She guessed this must probably be Mr. Jack’ study room. She bit her lips and her body fidgeted as she didn’t know what to expect.

The moment she gathered courage and opened the door, she was stunned.

Why was she shocked?

Mr Jack Oliver Reynolds, was standing in front of her bare-chested, with a towel around his neck.

He was breathing warm air to her face and his well-built body glistened with sweat.

Vanessa took her eyes down and gulped.

She daydreamed about touching his abs. Wow! He has solid ten packs. A broad chest, look at the lean waist, ah! Even while sweating, he smells so delicious. Ah, she wanted to hug and then have a bite of this human sized fresh, hot cake before her.

“Ahem…” Lisa’s dad coughed to bring her back from fantasy land.

“Do you like what you see? You admit that you are indeed a monk fish and I’m taking a huge risk by allowing you to babysit Lisa?” he asked with folded arms.

Vanessa who had been forcefully ejected from her world of unspeakable fantasy, heard these words and stared at Jack in rage.

“You…” she pointed at him but he pushed her hand down.

“Lady, I don’t like being pointed at and second, you ain’t worthy?” he spat and left the room.

……..

“You…” Vanessa was unable to speak further and scoffed.

‘You think too highly of yourself. Not everyone’s gonna drool over you just because you have… well he really has nice abs. Well toned, solid and sexy. Gosh Vannie, what are you thinking?’ she shook off those lecherous thoughts and exhaled three times.

‘You can do it baby’ she said to herself internally before heading towards the direction that Jack left.

A female servant asked her to wait in his study that was bigger than her former apartment times ten. Ah, such a huge difference!

The rows of books that rested peacefully and neatly on the high shelves, the majestic chandelier, the red carpet that seemed even more expensive than Evelyn’s car, the chairs and table made from walnut.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

It felt like she had entered another world where all the residents were called books.

She saw that each or a group of shelves had special tags that made it easier to identify what one wanted. She thought back to what she wanted to be before her late father’s illness. Sigh! That’s in the past.

But she couldn’t help picking a book that dealt with finance.

She touched the thick cover and breathed in its fragrance. She longed to to read the book, at least to kill time. She helped herself to one of the chairs and placed the thick book on the table. Soon she got so immersed in the book that she didn’t even notice that Jack had been standing beside her for 3 minutes. Finally, he couldn’t take it anymore and cleared his throat. There was no reaction from Vanessa as she was in deep thoughts. ‘This book is really good. It’s a pity… a pity that I…’ she was dragged back to reality when Jack knocked on the table twice.

She panicked and turned her head, looking upwards to see a frowning Jack.

Instantly, she flashed a sheepish smile.

“Hehehe… Mr Jack… Haha… I just wanted to busy my mind with something. Sorry for touching your belonging. I’m very sorry” she apologized and stood up.

She then picked the book after closing it and returned it back to the shelf where she had found it. She turned around to see Jack still frowning and fidgeted. She didn’t know what to do in that moment.

‘Think Vanny, Think!’ she said in her heart.

But no plans were formulating, no ideas popped up. Ah, she had failed to show Jack that she wasn’t a monk fish as he’d said earlier. She’d embarrassed herself, ah!

“Come here, monk fish!” Jack’s sudden call brought her back to reality again.

“Eh… what did you call me?” she asked, pretending not to have heard but one could see her clenched fists.

Jack smiled and sat on the best chair at the extreme. Vanessa sat at the chair she’d stood up from earlier and faced him, her chest heaving up and down.

“Relax. I won’t charge you for the damages you caused to the book and sitting on my chair without my permission, lady.” Jack ‘reasssured’ her and then took out a document from on of the drawers in the table closest to him.

He threw it towards Vanessa who caught it and opened the first page to read its content. It was the contract document that she’d need to sign before becoming the official babysitter/ mommy for Lisa. She started to read carefully and frowned at the contents.
