"She's my daughter and i have the right to decide who i want as her nanny. That lady isn't gonna be my daughter's nanny! What morals will she teach Ivory" Carrle asked.
"Perhaps if your mum had taught you morals,you won't have ended up in another man's house" Harold said, sipping his drink.
"Are you crazy?" Carrle asked angrily.
"I'm not but i think you sound like the crazy one" Harold said.
"If you insist to have that lady as Ivory's nanny. I promise to take this to court" Carrle threatened and Harold laughed loud.
"Court? Have you forgotten you lost the right over Ivory five years ago. Do you even care about her? Remember you chose money over her in court. You chose 30.3 million dollars over your daughter Carrle, are you even a mother?" Harold said,still angered over the past incident.
Carrle swallowed hard again, glaring at Harold.
She won't deny the fact that she still loves him.
He keeps growing handsome each passing day.
She missed him and she suddenly feel like hugging him.
She missed his hug.
She missed being in his arms.
"I'm ready if you wanna take it to court but you know I'll always win ,you'll only stain your reputation" Harold said.
"Har.." Carrle was saying.
"Leave my house this minute, i don't want to see you in my house except on your visitation days okay?" Harold said clearly.
"Should i order my bodyguards to push you out the way you ordered your bodyguards to push me out five years ago ?" Harold asked.
Carrle took one last glance at him before slowly walking out of the house.
"Dad" Ivory called loudly from upstairs.
"Yes princess" Harold replied.
"Nola doesn't want me to come to the living room" She whined.
"Nola, she's free to come now" Harold said and sighed knowing Ivory is coming to bombard him with questions.
Her nanny should resume already.
**Next morning.
"How do i look mum?" Irene asked her stepmum.
"You always look nice Rene" Mrs Neave smiled.
She was ready to resume, all she had to do now was just to get into the car Harold sent to her.
She wondered if he'll keep sending cars to pick her every morning.
"I selected the outfit" Damien boasted.
"There he goes again" Irene rolled her eyes.
"Of course i knew he did" their mum laughed.
Irene was putting on a simple blue shirt tucked into a black pencil skirt, with blue shoes and black handbag.
Her hair was packed in her favorite style, a simple ponytail with tendrils framing her face.
She was wearing no make up as usual and all she had in her bag was ivory rules booklet,her phone,her diary and some cash.
"I should go now mother" Irene said, kissing her on both cheeks.
"Okay Rene." Mrs Neave said.
"Sis, I'll give you a call" Damien said.
"Alright and please select the outfit I'll be putting on tomorrow" Irene said.
"With all pleasure" Damien grinned.
"Bye" Irene said, walking to the door.
"And help me get those cheese please" Damien called after her..
"Okay dam"

Irene arrived at Harold mansion and she still marveled at the sight even if she saw it just yesterday.
She was led in by one of the workers and her heart beat nervously as she stepped into the living room.
She met Harold and his daughter's gaze fixed on the wall clock.
"Good morning" She said about to bow but quickly got hold of her head.
"Dad! She's here" Ivory smiled, happily sliding her feet into her bunny footwear.
"Ohh ... Good morning" Harold replied.
"We thought you weren't coming anymore" Ivory said.
"I'm sorry i delayed the driver" Irene said.
"It's fine" Harold said .
"Have you gone through my rules booklet?" Ivory asked.
"Yes"
"And?" She asked eagerly.
"I can cope with your rules" Irene said..
"And that means?" Ivory asked expectantly.
"I'm now officially your nanny" Irene said and didn't notice how Harold's face lit up.
"Yay!" Ivory giggled and Irene smiled.
She really like the kid.
"Welcome to my world Irene" Ivory said excitedly.
"Thank you" Irene smiled.
"So, you've officially resumed as Ivory's nanny. You're to stay here on weekdays,you'll be free to go home on weekends, i know you're not aware of it and that's why you didn't bring anything with you. By tomorrow,you should move into your room here" Harold said.
"Huh?.. Okay" Irene said, trying to digest the news.
"What I'm about to say is already in Ivory's booklet but I'll say it anyways ... You're not allowed to yell at her,hit her or make her cry. Once you do any of that,just know you're fired" Harold said even though he knows deeply that she can't do such but he needs to follow the normal routine.
"I won't do that" Irene said.
"Okay. And please try as much as possible to keep to her rules, she doesn't like her rules being disregarded" Harold said.
"Okay" Irene said.
"And i don't think there'll be problem between you two, you seem to like each other already" Harold said.
His daughter had never been this excited when a new nanny resumes.
She had been talking about Irene since she left yesterday.
The lady is beautiful plus she dresses nicely and decently too.
"So, I'll leave you guys to do your thing" Harold said, picking his phone.
He got on his feet and was about heading to his room when one of his workers walked in, stopping him.
"What?" Harold asked.
"Mrs Carrle is here" The worker said.
"What the f.." Harold was saying but remembered ivory is there.
"And she's trying to force her way in" The worker said.
"Tell Alex to f*****g throw her out!" Harold yelled in anger.
Irene blinked severally in confusion and quickly bent to console ivory when she saw the little girl had started crying.
Harold cursed at Carrle before finally going out to meet her.
Ivory cry grew louder and the confused Irene was about to hold her when she remembered her fourth rule.
*Do not touch me without washing your hands*
Damn!
