Jeanne’s Pov:
“Oh, my Molly; what do you think?” I as
ked in a low key and Molly just shrugged.
I covered my mouth with my palm and sighed. I was so nervous.
I can’t believe Alex wants me to meet him in his room.
“Well, one thing’s for sure, nanny; he isn’t gonna eat you up. I’ll be waiting for you in the dining” molly said and walked away and I bec@m£ stranded.
I ru-bbe-d my palms together and breathed out heavily before going to the door.
I dallied a little and knocked and his soft masculine voice spoke from inside:
“Come in”
I slowly opened the door and went in and my eyes beamed at the sight I had beheld.
Oh, my gee! Was this really a room?
It had a king sized be-d and the room entirely had a brownish color.
The floors were HD wallpaper and it was a picture of the sky.
Incredible!
There was a big wardrobe beside the be-d and a big table of cosmetics and deodorants and wow! A lot of glittering jewelries.
How can a guy have so much jewelries?
The room was very cold and had a Swiss flower fragrance.
On the king sized be-d were three l@pt©ps and two phones. And on the table were two l@pt©ps and three big phones.
What?
Seriously?
There was a big keyboard by the right and I saw Alex sitting on the edge of the be-d, backing the door.
He held his pet – Ambrose -and pla-yed with his head.
He acted like he wasn’t aware of my pres£nce as he continued petting the dog which la-id quietly in his hands.
Then after a short while, he spoke up.
“I want you out of here, Jeanne” he spoke calmly, still backing me and concentrating on his dog.
My eyes dilated and my hands shook.
Did I hear him correctly?
“Just tell me what you want” he continued.
“I’ll pay you triple of the money my mum has agreed to pay you. You’re still gonna go for the training and I’ll make sure you become one of the lovergirls. I can give you cars, estates, houses, anything you want. Just ask for it.
All I want is for you to get out of here. Quit the nanny job and leave”.
I stood gobsma-cked, staring at him from behind.
my head was rotating.
Oh my God! Is this the reason he wanted to see me? To tell me to get out of here? To stay away from him?
But why’s he chasing me away? Why does he hate ladies so much?
And how can he ask me to do such a difficult thing?
I don’t think I want to leave. Although he’s promised to do everything Mrs Tristan has agreed to do for me. But leaving in his favor might look like a betrayal to Mrs Tristan.
She nee-ds my help and I’ve also gotten to like Molly who likes me as well.
How can I leave them now?
I bebent my head in agony and knew he was waiting for an answer.
But what do I say?
“S…Sir Alex” I called and paused, sniffling a little.
“I…I’m sorry, but…I’m not sure I can do what you asked for.
“You see, it’s not like I wanna disobey you or something, but…your mum…she really nee-ds my help. And I don’t want to betray her.” I said ruefully, my heart beating heavily.
Then, I noticed he st©pped pla-ying with the dog.
oh God!
He slowly la-id the dog on the floor and stood up, going to face the window.
He crossed his hands at his back and stared outside throu-gh the window and I could now have a side view of his face.
A little p@rt of the morning sun rested on his face.
He took in a de-ep breath.
“If you really wanna stay here” he said calmly.
“Then, so be it.
But, from today onwards, I want you to stay far from me. Avoid anything that concerns me. Don’t t©uçh me or anything I’m likely to t©uçh. Don’t ever talk to me.
And just have this in mind, I dislike you” he said spitefully and I felt h0t tears forming in my eyes.
“Is that un-derstood?” He asked, but I kept mute, trying not to shed a tear.
Then, for the first time since I stepped into the room, he turned to look at me.
“Is that un-derstood?” He asked again and this time around, his voice c@m£ out a little cold.
I sniffed and didn’t realise a tear was alre-ady rolling down my cheek.
“Y..yes sir” I replied in a breaking voice and tried not to stare at him.
He took his eyes back to the window and didn’t say any other thing and I figured we were done.
I turned around and left the room, re-leasing more tears.

Jeanne’s Pov:
Alex’s words pierced throu-gh my heart and left an indelible mark. I can’t believe my crush’s being so ha-rd and mean to me. He had even made it clear he disliked me. Why does it have to be this way?
I wiped my face and slowly headed for the dinning and there I met Mrs. Tristian, Molly and three lover boys all eating.
‘Janne! Come and have breakfast with us’, Mrs. Tristian said as I approached the dinning.
‘She gets to eat with us now?’ Daniel asked with a repugnant look.
‘Come on Dan, there’s nothing wrong with it, you know. She’s my daughter’s nanny’, Mrs. Tristian replied and I just managed a frail smile.
I was trying not to make my mood obvious.
‘Good morning, Mrs. Tristian. Good morning sirs’, I greeted with a bow.
Good morning to you too’, Malcolm replied.
‘Morning cutie’, Carl also said with a smile and I wondered.
Am I cute? I’ve never thought of that. And this Carl, he seems to be really friendly.
But, Daniel didn’t reply.
‘Come on nanny, sit beside me’, Molly said and I smiled and took the vacant seat next to her.
There were lots of food on the table, combined with my sad look; I didn’t know which to eat.
I ran my eyes around and finally took a slice of bre-ad and applied jam on it.
‘By the way, Janne’, Mrs. Tristian said along the line. ‘You’ll be starting your training today. You’ve alre-ady been registered. And once you get there, you’ll meet three other trainees. If you’re lucky to be the best among them, you’ll get signed into the Alpha Records as one of the Lover Girls. So, what do you think?’
Normally, I’d have jumped on my feet and danced, but at that moment I couldn’t. All I could do was smile.
‘Thank you ma’am’, I replied with a bow and she nodded.
‘Wow! So, Jeanne has a possibility of becoming one of the Lover Girls?’ Carl asked.
‘Well, she has to throu-gh the training aspect and it’s not certain she’ll win’, Daniel replied.
Hold on, am I the only one who’s noticed this guy doesn’t like me?
‘My nanny has a nice voice. I’m sure she’ll win’, Molly said and looked at me and I smiled.
‘Really, Molly? Have you heard her sing?’, Malcolm asked while taking some potato ch!ps into his mouth.
‘Ofcourse! That’s p@rt of the reason she’s here’, she replied.
‘Oh! So there is another p@rt?’, Carl asked, and she just rolled her eyes.
‘By the way, mom’, she said, ‘the function at my school will be coming up on Friday and I told you we’re expected to come with our parents. I’m just reminding you so there wouldn’t be any excuses on that day. You know I’ll be pres£nting a speech there.’
‘I know, Molly. I just pray I’ll be chanced’, she replied.
Not long after, Alex c@m£ in, all dressed up – looking as dashy as ever. He didn’t say a word to anyone; he just walked past the dinning.
‘Won’t you be joining us for breakfast, Alex?’ Mrs. Tristian asked, and he st©pped, sighed and t©uçhed his forehead with two f!ngers.
‘I’m in a hurry… will just eat later’, he replied and walked out the door.
I stared at him as he left and his hurtful words repla-yed in my head: “I dislike you”.
I took in a de-ep breath and focused on my meal.
After a while, we were done with breakfast and I quic-kly left with molly. I was to drop her off at school before going to mine.
‘Nanny, are you alright? What did my brother discuss with you in the room?’ she asked as we sat next to each other at the back seat.
I sniffed and managed a perfunctory smile.
‘I’m fine dear, I’m okay’ I replied and she looked at me suspiciously.
‘By the way, you promised to sing me more songs in the car, remember?’ she said with ecstasy and I sighed.
‘Sorry baby, I’m having a slight headache. Can we make it later, plea-se?’ I said and she nodded after a little reluctance and took her eyes away.
She brou-ght out her ipad and started pla-ying games with it. It kinda made me relieved because I didn’t have to say any other thing. I nee-ded a quiet time.
I closed my eyes as I leaned back and tried enjoying the ride. But, not long after, the car screeched to a halt and I quic-kly opened my eyes to discover we had almost knocked down a lady.
I opened the door of the car and rushed out immediately, I met the lady trying to stand up from the ground and I helped her up.
‘I’m sorry ma’am, are you hurt?’ I asked as I helped her up and she stared into my face.
She was young, pretty and looked rich; she was putting on a short black go-wn.
Surprisingly, she kept staring keenly at me and didn’t say a word – at least not immediately.
‘Miss… are you alright?’ I asked, a bit muddled and she finally said something, but it c@m£ as a whisper, and I couldn’t quite get what she said.
But, I think I heard something like;
‘You’ve really become this pretty, huh?’
I flin-ched and looked at her as she kept staring at me with an unexplainable expression.
‘Miss… what did you say?’ I asked.
TBC.
