ALEXA'S
Ever since Cody told me what his plans were, my mind keeps on going over the places. I mean I think his idea is crazy but what he added to it was crazier.
"Babe!!"
"Babe, come look at this!" Cody's urgent call snapped me out of my thoughts and I quickly moved to the direction I heard him calling me from.
"What is it?" I asked as I walked towards him.
"The Brown's are in need of workers. There is a vacancy up for some positions, this is what I have been waiting for" he yelled excitedly.
"So, you're going to apply?" I asked with an arched brow
"No, I can't possibly apply to be a Nanny or do any job in the Brown's mansion, it's too risky" he said and I rolled my eyes.
"Then what?" I asked.
"You. You would apply for the position of a Nanny and then provide the necessary information to us, you will be our eyes in there" he said
"What! You can't be serious" I said and looked at his face for a hint of mischief as I thought it was one of his jokes, but the expression he was wearing said he was dead serious. I don't think I can do this, I have assisted Cody and his friends a lot of times but I haven't done something like this before.
"I don't think I can do this, it's just too…" Cody placed his hands on my shoulder.
"Come on, we've discussed this already" he said and I sighed.
"I thought perhaps another idea could come up, you know but now I just can't…"
"Babe, trust me on this okay" he said and I sighed before nodding.
He did the necessary things for the application and it didn't take long before my cell phone rang
"Hello! I'm on to Miss Alexa Martin?" A female voice asked
"Yes you are, who I'm I on to?" I asked back
"You recently applied for a job as a Nanny in the Brown's mansion" she said
"Oh yes, I did ma'am" I replied
"Babe, who are you…" Cody was saying but I quickly motioned him to keep quiet using some facial expressions and then whispered
"The Anthony's" That made him smile ear to ear
"Alright, so you're expected to come for your interview in two hours, I'll text you the address, Thank you" She said and hung up just before I asked my next question
"Wow! That was rude, is that how I would be treated if I eventually got the job" I complained, and then turned to meet the expectant look in Cody's eyes
"So…did you get the job?" He asked
"Chill man! I was only called for an interview in two hours" I replied which made him frown a little, but then it was replaced by another smile almost immediately
"I know and trust that you can Ace it, you're intelligent after all" he said and pinched my shoulder playfully
"I would try my best" Was all I said and went to get prepared for the 'interview'
*****************
Knock knock
"Hello! How may I help you?" A man in his late thirties said as soon as he opened the door
"Um…I'm here for a job interview sir" I answered with a smile
"Oh! I'm guessing you're Miss Alexa Martin" he said and I nodded
"Come in and have a sit" he said pointing to the couch
"Thanks sir " I said and he smiled, he is such a nice man
"I would go and inform the boss about your arrival" he said and moved towards a door which I assumed was the study room
After few minutes he came to me and said that Mr Anthony Brown was ready to see me
I was so nervous, knowing fully well what my mission was and also because I would be meeting the Almighty Anthony Brown for the first time in my life
I knocked on the door and a Serene voice said
"Come in"
"Good morning sir" I greeted with a slight bow, though I didn't see him as his chair was facing the opposite direction
My greeting made him turn to my direction and my jaws dropped, at how incredibly good looking he was, for a man his game it was just too amazing
I was engrossed and dazed that I didn't hear him call my attention
"Miss Alexa, can you hear me?" He said in a soft tune, the least I expected
He was the exact opposite of what I had pictured in my mind
"I'm so sorry Sir….I…I…" I stuttered, not knowing the words to use in explaining myself
"So?" He cocked his perfectly shaped brows at me and I almost fainted at how perfect he was.
"Did you get any of those things I said?" He asked
"Forgive my manners sir, but I…I didn't, I'm really sorry" I said scratching the back of my head and he sighed
He was so patient, I myself would find whoever acted the way I did as an unserious individual and there by not suitable
"There are not many things to ask though, but why do you think you're suitable for this job?" He asked and relaxed himself on the chair maintaining a strong eye contact with me
I cleared my throat and adjusted myself on the sit
"Umm, I think I'm suitable for this job because I love children a lot and I relate well with them, when I was a little younger, I usually helped my aunt with the children in the day care she managed" I said
"Though this is my first ever job as a Nanny, but I know I can handle kids with utmost care" I added and he just stared at me for some minutes
"You weren't informed?" He suddenly asked
"Informed about what sir?" I asked with a confused look
"Before you applied for the job, didn't you see anything about the age of the 'child' you would be taking care of?" He asked making sure that he stressed the word 'child'
And that got me more confused than ever, or could it be that I was to take care of an oldie, I asked myself
But no information was given as to whom I'll be taking care of
"No sir, there was nothing related to whom I'll be Nannieng" I replied
"Alright then, you're to Nanny a twenty two years old man" he said keeping a straight face, but I couldn't help but burst into laughter
"A twenty two years old? That's ridicu…I'm sincerely sorry sir" I said seeing that he was just staring at me
"It's just that, how can twenty two years old be nannied?" I asked, feeling the urge to laugh again but I suppressed it
"Are you ready to take this job?" He asked, looking calm as ever
"Yes I am sir" I answered with a serious facial expression
"Good, but before then, can you handle him? He is jerk" He asked again
"And how old are you? You look eighteen" He added while giving me an up to down look
"I'm twenty one sir" I replied a little upset about
"I would have preferred someone older, cause like I said, he is a jerk" he said and I couldn't help but feel upset
He didn't have to say that to me though,but what can I say, I'm the one in need of a job
"I can deal with it sir, our age difference is not so much, so I think we can relate well with each other" I replied trying to convince him that I could do the job
"Alright then, I'll get back to you," he said and turned back the chair to what he was doing before I came in
"Alright Thank you sir" I said and left
ALEXA’S POV“I guess you get another plan up and ready since I don’t think I will be getting this job” I said to Cody and his gang.After I returned yesterday from the Brown’s mansion, I could tell my interview didn’t go well. I don’t want to get their hopes high since I wasn’t really sure about the outcome.“Chill babe, you are only saying this because you are not fully in support of this” Cody said and I glared at him.I opened my mouth to give him one hundred and one reasons why I think the idea is still crazy but the ringing from my phone interrupted me.“I will just go get this” I walked away towards the table where I placed my phone.“Hello Miss Martin” the feminine voice from the other end of the line said"Speaking" I replied"Congratulations! You have gotten the job you applied for as a Nanny in the Brown's mansion, If you can resume work today, it would be great" she said, and I didn't even know if I should be happy or sad"Um…umm…." I stuttered and turned towards Cody's dir
ALEXA’S POVIt’s been a week since I became the Nanny to Mr. Rude and arrogant, popularly known as Nolan Brown. I still can’t believe how someone can be so full of himself and of course hot but this is the only time I’m ever saying that.“I see reasons why Mr. Anthony has decided to get him a Nanny but I think a chain would have been best, you know like a dog since he is out of control” Cody said jokingly.“I am being serious here babe, that guy is out of control, he sees everyone like shit and below him” I complained bitterly. I can still remember the ugly incident between us when we first got introduced not to talk of when he does silly things just to make me quit.“You know he almost caught us right?” I said to Cody as I remembered when he heard my conversation with him over the phone. The good part was that he didn’t hear much, which made it easy for me to twist the truth. I can’t get fired on my first day at work.“Good thing you got him off our ass as soon as possible” he moved
ALEXA’S POVIt’s been over thirty minutes now since an angry Nolan kicked me out of the room. What should I do? Call Mr. Brown and inform him about the situation? How can I tell him that his stubborn son has refused to acknowledge his call? Should I go back to the room to call him again? Perhaps a second try might work.I turned around to take a step towards his room when the door opened, Nolan was dressed in a jean trouser and a white T-shirt which made me raise a brow.“Took you long enough” I muttered and he glared at me. Oops! I guess he must have heard me.“So she’s the bitch who got herself invited into your room huh?” The snarky voice of the lady who I assumed was his girlfriend met my ears and I rolled my eyes the moment I turned away from them.“I will be right back babe” Nolan said and went back into the room.“Listen and listen carefully” the lady without a name yet, who I would call Nolan’s girlfriend, said pulling my hair slightly which made me yelp out in pain.“Nolan is
ALEXA'S POV Mr. Brown holds up his hand to stop Nolan and his girlfriend's protest, clearing his throat as he stands up from his seat. I could sense Barbie girl snarling beside me before Mr. Brown could speak."Nolan, how many times do I have to dictate to you Alexa's responsibility as your nanny?" Mr. Brown's tone ran cold, evidently losing his patience as he stared at Nolan intently."Father, how many times do I have to make myself clear to you? I don't need this bitch!" Nolan yells, loud enough to be heard by a few employees outside Mr. Brown's office."Calm down babe, it's alright. Let me handle this," His obnoxious Barbie girl cooed to him as she rubbed his heaving chest. I look up at her in amusement after hearing her words and see her turning towards Mr. Brown to speak, Nolan had already sat down behind her noticeably gritting his teeth."Err, Dad-""No one calls me that, Dear, stick with Mr. Brown" Mr. Brown cuts her off, his stone remaining cold as well as his look."Alrig
Chapter 7'And that's it then,' I thought to myself as I put my luggage at the back of the car.Cody waved goodbye to me as I turned my gaze at him, hoping he would make a step toward me to stop me from leaving. "I'll miss you!" Cody yelled before the car door slammed closed by the driver. "Sure you would"The drive back to the mansion took a lot more time than I had expected but it wasn't eventful. The sun had already begun to hide and the night flew in slowly, following the transition from city to suburban. Looking out of the window beside me, I couldn't help myself from thinking back at how hot Nolan was. His body had a firm build that I was surprised he was hiding, especially his huge plaything. Wait, what- you have a boyfriend...Shaking my head to think clearly, I noticed the driver is already starting to park the car at the garage. I see a glimpse of Mr. Brown standing at the garage entrance and waiting patiently. Making my way out of the car, the driver made his way to ge
ALEXA'S POV "Oh! Oh god- I am so sorry, sir" I covered my eyes immediately as I realized I've been caught staring."No, no- It's alright," I hear him chuckle as I turn around embarrassed.As I was about to take my leave, I felt his hand touch my shoulder and he stopped me from leaving.“What were you doing out of your room?” His voice was calm with a hint of curiosity in them. “I couldn’t sleep, sir, I just thought it would be alright to wander around in your house- I mean, mansion,” I still couldn't take up the courage to turn around and face him, but his hold was forcing me to do so. His gaze met mine and I was trying hard not to panic under his hold. "Hey, why are you so tense? It's alright wandering around for the first time. You just startled me with your presence," He smiles as he pats my shoulder and walks to the side.He grabs a towel from the tanning bench and makes his way to the bar at the furthest side from the pool, but before he could go any farther from me he turn
For a while, my suspicions about this woman had me discover I was wrong about her. Maybe my doubts had led me to realize that I and her are alike.She's someone who lost her life to building someone else's. I lost mine when I lost the one person who built mine."What makes you say that, sir?" I turn away from her as I try not to remind myself of the past.She has such a close resemblance to her, even just her voice ties in hauntingly."You and I are more alike than you could imagine," I chuckle under my breath as the memories I've pushed down slowly crept back up from the surface of my mind."That's why I hired you, you took the job wholeheartedly and I knew then that my son needed a mother figure from how you brought yourself into the room until you left…" But deep down, I knew I felt her in you. "But, if an opportunity comes during your job here… I hope you don't hesitate to take it, because you have the potential to be somewhere else," I remember her saying that to me, my wife wh
As I cut between the sandwiches I had prepared for Mr. Rude, I place them neatly on their plate by a tray. Thanking Cassey for her assistance, I toom the tray with me on my way to Nolan's room where he had called me earlier.His room was as I had last seen it, the after he had a nice arrangement with his girlfriend. God, if only he wasn't so arrogant and bitchy, he could preferably be my type. Spotting him by his balcony, I see him engrossed with his work on a floorplan. His hand is extraordinarily skilled with such detail, I wonder it's the reason why he holds himself at arms length with people. Artist and their non-sociable affairs. "What are you staring for?" Nolan says, not even taking a glance to turn to me. "Nothing, just admiring your work from behind" As I replied, I hear him scoffs at my word as if it were an insult to him."What's that for?" I asked as I set the tray by an empy spot on another table, not to have it hit and ruin his work."Architecture project, I couldn't
