"Good morning Mr Harold" Irene greeted again thinking he hadn't heard the first time.
But he just entered his limousine like he hadn't seen her.
Really??
"What could be wrong?" She thought as she walked towards the door.
She turned and saw that the limo is already out of the compound.
She's so sure he must have heard her, he even glanced at her but she could tell he was pissed by something.
Did one of his workers pissed him off?
"Well..." She shrugged.
She walked into the living room and met Nola.
"Good morning Nola" Irene greeted.
"Irene, good morning" Nola smiled.
"You're finally here. I'm gonna welcome you officially later" Nola said.
"Thank you. But did anyone pissed Mr Harold?" Irene asked.
"Yeah, i think so." Nola said.
"Ohh" Irene nodded slowly.
"He didn't respond to your greetings?" Nola asked.
"Yeah! How did you know ?" Irene asked.
"I just guessed" Nola said, already knowing Irene is the one who pissed him off, Harold won't respond to your greetings when he's pissed with you.
She wondered what Irene did in the space on yesterday night and this morning.
"I should go meet Ivory" Irene said.
"Yeah, your luggage will be taken to your room " Nola said.
"Okay, thanks" Irene said and started walking to ivory's room.
She met some workers on the way and greeted them.
They all responded nicely and she couldn't wait to be introduced to them all.
Nola had said there will be a formal introduction today.
Irene knocked gently when she got to Ivory's door.
"Who's there?" Ivory asked.
"Your nanny" Irene said.
"Irene, Come in" Ivory said and Irene smiled as she opened the door and walked in .
"Good morning to you" She said to Ivory who smiled.
"Good morning Irene" Ivory said, she had just finished taking her bath and she had a towel wrapped around her body.
"Ohh..I'm sorry i wasn't here early enough to bath you" Irene said.
"No, i bath myself. You can only dress me up" Ivory said.
"Really? Is that in your rules booklet?" Irene said.
"Of course, i think you really need to go through it once more. I knew you can't take it in at once. They are way too much" Ivory said.
"You know that too?" Irene asked.
"Of course"
"Then why did you made then that much?" Irene asked.
"Some nannies do pass their bounds and that's why i had to set a boundary" Ivory said, passing Irene her body cream.
"Hmm...I've not washed my hands" Irene said.
"Ohh...Just apply this on my body but please you should always wash your hands before coming into my room" Ivory said.
She have no problem with Irene touching her without washing her hands.
Irene always look neat, just like her dad and Nola.
"Uh? Okay" Irene said.
She took the body cream from Ivory and started applying it smoothly on the girl's skin.
She didn't put pressure on it, ivory skin felt like diamond beneath her touch .
Her skin glowed more after Irene was done.
She proceeded to dressing her up and they were done in a matter of minutes.
Ivory wore her shoes while Irene grabbed one of her hair combs.
"Only Nola and my dad touches my hair" Ivory said.
"Ohh.. okay" Irene said dropping the comb disappointedly.
She had wanted to make a very beautiful style for Ivory.
She picked Ivory's school bag and helped her wear it.
"So..we're set" Irene smiled.
"Yeah" Ivory said, glancing at herself in the mirror with a satisfied look .
Irene had dressed her up so nicely.
"Come go have your breakfast" Irene said, glancing at the wall clock.
Ivory nodded and picked a comb before they both walked out of the room.
**
Ivory finished having her breakfast and Nola helped her comb and packed her hair into a simple ponytail.
Yeah!
She was ready for school.
"Bye Nola" She waved as Irene led her to the door .
"Bye Ivory" Nola smiled and watched the both of them walked out of the door.
Irene saw a beautiful purple Benz parked as they stepped out.
Wow!
She hadn't seen this in the compound.
It must have been in the garage.
"Is this your car?" She asked Ivory who nodded.
"It's beautiful" Irene said.
"Yeah it is, thanks" Ivory said.
Irene saw the driver was in the car already, the backseat door was opened by a bodyguard who looked so fierce.
She wondered where Mr Harold found these hard looking men.
They could scare s**t out of someone!
"Good morning Ivory" the man greeted in a deep voice.
His voice is just as thick as his face.
"Good morning Tom" Ivory smiled.
She got into the back seat and dropped her school bag beside her .
"Irene aren't you coming?" Ivory asked.
"Huh? Am i supposed to go with you?" Irene asked.
"Of course!" Ivory said.
"You really need to study the rules booklet" She added.
"Yeah" Irene said hoping in beside Ivory.
The bodyguard closed the car door and Irene widened her eyes when he got into the front seat.
The driver drove to the gate which opened automatically.
"Is he supposed to go with us?" Irene whispered to ivory who laughed.
"Yeah, Tom is my personal bodyguard, he goes with me everywhere" ivory whispered back.
"And he doesn't scare you?" Irene asked in a whisper.
"No, he actually has a soft side to him. His heart is not as fierce as his face, he's so nice and loving"
"Really?" Irene asked.
"Yes. Hey Tom, meet Irene, my nanny" Ivory said.
"Hi Irene, i heard all your whispers" He smiled turning to her.
"Huh?" Irene swallowed hard.
Two things surprised her, the fact that he heard all she whispered and the fact that he smiled.
She never pictured him as a smiling man and she must be sincere he looked less fierce now.
"I'm sorry about that, i never meant to say that behind you" Irene said.
"It's fine . So, I'm Tom, Ivory's personal bodyguard" Tom said stretching out his hand effortlessly from the front seat.
"I'm Irene, Ivory's nanny. Nice to meet you" Irene said accepting his outstretched hand.
