Vivian said, "Yes, Mr. Slate."As she turned, she glanced at the monitor, and then at Zachary, noting something off about his reaction.One must understand that Vivian had been paying close attention to everything about Zachary ever since she took the role of his personal assistant. Such is society: Once women meet a man with looks and money, they cannot help getting ideas—especially with a single father like Zachary.That was the case for Vivian, who was now obsessed with Zachary.Though she did not show it because she had yet to get a read on his temperament, she was wary since Zachary found himself a young babysitter.She could not quite put her finger on what it was, and she might even be imagining it—Zachary might just be watching the woman, concerned that she was not taking care of his child.She left, informing everyone about meeting in ten minutes and to be punctual.It went as scheduled ten minutes later, with Zachary mostly speaking while the others only speaking whe

"Just leave the coffee here," Zachary snapped.His head was just hurting—Luna was really throwing too much for a fuss to have a good night's sleep, though he was now relieved with the new babysitter.On the other hand, Vivian was not in a hurry to leave even after leaving the coffee. "You're very busy, Mr. Slate, so it's understandable since your baby needs a guardian. Has Erma been doing a good job?"After all, she was the one who arranged for Erma to work as a maid at Zachary's house."Yeah," Zachary replied flatly, but that only left Vivian perplexed.She arranged for Erma since she was an old woman, so why was there a young woman in the cameras today? Who was she? Why was she allowed to babysit?Vivian was all too keen to lay the groundwork to snare Zachary, and she could tell that he cared about his baby a lot.Nonetheless, while her imagination ran wild, Zachary snapped sternly, "Vivian!"Vivian felt goosebumps all over her skin at the tone, since she recognized it—he w

Vivian was fuming when she heard Erma's voice. "Did your brain get fried? Why didn't you take good care of Mr. Slate's daughter?!"Erma was actually feeling wounded as well.She was doing well until she was suddenly told to babysit! And even if she discounted that fact, the nanny who arrived after she did gave her a thorough dressing down!The memories certainly did not sit well with Erma, and knowing immediately that Vivian was calling her to snap at her, she said sarcastically, "That's not quite right, Ms. Crowe. What was that you told me? That you'd pay me if I could get myself hired by Mr. Slate… but I still haven't received that money you promised."Vivian's face fell. "What are you talking about? Are you demanding pay when you can't even do your job?! Do you think our money grows on trees?!"Erma did not flinch despite Vivian's outburst—even if she was a maid, she was a seasoned individual who knew how to fuss over the little things.Puffing up her chest, she snapped back,

It was already 10 AM.After Zachary returned to his office after the meeting, he did not wait to turn on the monitor, which still showed various angles in his home.Luna was awake and had just finished her milk. Wendy had carried her out in the courtyard to bask in the soft sun.There was a shed in the courtyard as well, making it a great place to bring a baby.Luna's tiny clothes were being dried on the veranda nearby. Wendy washed everything by hand with a specialized detergent.She was staring at the baby, holding a toy as she seemed to talk to herself."Are you full yet, baby?""Mr. Slate was saying you were crying a lot last night. That won't do—he's busy with work every day, so you should sleep properly!""Trust me, I'm a professional… sunbathing helps adjust your melatonin levels, and after this, you're definitely sleeping well tonight!"Luna was babbling, her little hand brushing against Wendy's face just then.Zachary felt a weird sensation as he watched, though it w

Vivian gave the man a look, and he nodded and pressed Erma harder against the wall!"Stop…" Erma stammered."Talk!" Vivian snapped as she strode forward. "Who's the woman in Mr. Slate's house? What did she do to get there?!"Who else did Zachary trust to recommend a maid more than her?"I-I don't know…" Erma gulped in mouthfuls of air after being released, no longer conceited as she backed away as far as she could! "I-I only know that she's young and a cousin of Mr. Slate's friend."A friend's cousin? If it was true, that means the woman was no pushover!Vivian frowned. "Are you sure?""Yes, yes!" Erma nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, I know for sure—a friend of Mr. Slate recommended her! She didn't reach out to him herself! She's a returnee, and she has proper child care certification. Why else would Mr. Slate hire her?"Erma was not a fool, and she gingerly observed Vivian's reaction as she spoke, thinking to herself that young 'uns these days were really vile!"Do you know

Erma was inconsolable—she almost fell apart because of Zachary's baby when she had to take care of her!It was not easy for her to get away from that place, and now, Vivian was forcing her to go back?!"Ms. Crowe," she said, gulping. "That woman is just a nanny. Mr. Slate loves and cares most for his daughter, so you should work on his daughter instead if you want him—"Before she could finish, Vivian shot her an icy glare."What?" Vivian asked with an edge in her voice. "Are you trying to tell me what to do?"The man holding Erma tightened his grip over her neck, and Erma promptly shook her head after being strangled for a moment. "I'll go! I'll go today!"Viivan nodded, hearing a satisfying answer. "Good!"She gestured for the man to release Erma and brandished a debit card at Erma. "I'll pay you double once you get it done!"After the pair were gone and only Erma was left, her brow furrowed even as she kept rubbing her neck.The man was so strong he could snap her windpipe

Lulu stared warily at the woman. "You're the maid from before, aren't you?"She did not let down her guard even though she recognized Erma—why would Erma return after she was gone?Moreover, considering how impatiently Erma treated her baby, Lulu's expression became stern as well. "Didn't Mr. Slate tell you not to come anymore? What are you doing here?""Hello, miss," Erma said fawningly. "May I ask for your name? And you don't look that old… Others might think you're the mother with your pretty face—""Shut up!" Lulu suddenly snapped, cutting Erma short.She was surprised by her own reaction, despite knowing that Erma's flattery was exaggerated. Nonetheless, she calmed down, realizing she had lost her composure there."This is my employer's baby. Why would she be related to me?" Lulu demanded, rearing her head. "I was an hired employee like you, and if you have a problem, take it up with Mr. Slate—not me!"She more or less understood from Erma's fawning that Erma wanted her t
The Runaway Groom Chapter 1096
Erma started bawling right then. "Please, I'm begging you! I really can't lose this job, or my family would die! We're all employees—from now on, you take care of the baby, and I'll take care of the housework! Can't we make this work?!"As the occasional people who passed by stared at them, Lulu took a deep breath and stopped struggling.Looking down at the hysterical Erma, she asked, "Could you stop embarrassing yourself? This is where Mr. Slate lives—the people living around this apartment are either rich or powerful. Are you sure you want to keep this up?"Erma did a double take at that, and Lulu promptly seized the moment to pull her leg out of Erma's grasp.Seemingly startled, Luna started bawling in her arms, and Lulu promptly patted her back, coaxing, "It's alright, it's alright!"Once Luna quieted down, she turned around toward Erma."I'd encourage you not to do this, since Mr. Slate would never suffer the likes of you. Don't hope that I'll get a good word in for you eith
