Chapter 3: A babysitting job.
1636 Words
I am back in my house sitting on my bed trying to remember what happened exactly about last night. But nothing. Every time I stop after I pulled him.
What happened after that? did he change my clothes?
Why the hell did I to drink so much?
I hid my face in my pillow.
"Vivian, come fast honey the breakfast is ready." I heard aunty’s voice.
I got down from my bed and went to the kitchen. I sat on the chair she served the breakfast for both of us then sat in front of me eyeing me suspiciously.
I looked down eating my food.
"Will you tell me?" She finally said. I looked at her.
Nervously laughing I asked "What are you talking about?"
"You very well know. What am I talking about?"
"Umm... no I don't." I said trying to act innocent.
"Don't you dare act innocent vivian."
"I am not trying too."
"Don't tell me your first was that boy. VIVIAN YOU WONT LIKE THE OUTCOME." She shouted the last part.
I clutched my chest with wide eyes. "Aunty s-stop.
Are you planning to give me a heart attack or what?"
She then pulled my arm and glared at me "Was it Mike?" she asked me in an extremely angry voice.
Gulping hard I shook my head as 'no'.
She then left my arm and went back eating her breakfast. "Then who was it."
"Umm.."
"Tell me was he handsome. Young. Tall."
"Will you stop?"
"Okay. Okay. But you have a job interview right?"
"Ya. It will start at 9 so I have time."
"What job is it now?"
"It's for a babysitter. I got notification on my phone last night. So I thought why not try it once."
"Are you sure about it?"
"Ya ma’am. Don't worry, we'll surely get a new house."
She nodded sadly.
I kissed her cheek.
"So Did you guys do it again?"
And I thought she was sad.
"Ugh!! What is wrong with you?"
"Come on now don't be shy tell me. Again? Oh Sweet Jesus! For how many rounds did you go? Did he use protection? He better did or else I'll kill him.
I don't want my Vivian to get pregnant so early."
I stared at her in disbelief.
"Whose Nanny says that. And just stop. I don't remember anything. I was drunk and-"
"You are of no use."
"Speaking of this morning, I was freaking out. I thought that I was the one who seduced him and now he must be thinking that I am that type of girl thought that I was the one who seduced him and now he must be thinking that I am that type of girl so I just wore my clothes and ran away from there without letting anyone know."
"You ran away?"
"Ya. I was scared. But I left a sorry and a thank you note for him."
"Vivian, why are you so stupid."
"You have to understand aunty, this was my first time in this kind of a situation."
She just looked you.
"Anyways I am done eating I'll leave." I said and stood up.
I hugged her once, she kissed my cheeks and said
"Take care."
I nodded.
"Bye."
I hope everything goes well. For the past few days my life has been a mess. I need this job for Nanny or we'll surely go homeless.
Finally I reached the Edward Enterprises I looked at the company, it was huge. Well I have my interview here. So I went in. I saw a lot of people waiting for the interview. I sat on one of the chairs and waited for my turn. Every girl sitting there was busy with their makeup, hair and dress.
I think it's just me dressed like this. I am sure that someone among them will get the job before my turn comes. But one by one everyone came out with a sad face.
Then finally my turn came. The lady called me
"Miss Lindberg please come inside."
I nodded and rose up from my seat. I followed her inside. My eyes first roamed all around the office.
Woah! Everything here is so cool.
Then my eyes fell on the person sitting on the chair.
Why does this guy look familiar?
Fuck! You are so doomed.
Why?
My eyes widened.
Wait. He is....
Yes he is.
Hell no! f**k! For sure I am not getting this job now.
I bit my lip in nervousness. I think he noticed that and a smirk played on his lips. I stood there like a statue.
He then looked at the lady beside me and said
"Evelyn, please do me a favour, postpone all the other interviews. I think I'll need time for this one."
My eyes which were already wide open, widened even more.
But why? Why does he want more time with me.
I don't know. That smirk looks so evil. But you have to admit he looks hot.
"Yes sir." The lady named Evelyn said and went out after saying "Best of luck" to me.
"Thank you."
Well I need that a lot now.
T he looked at me again smirking. "Please take a seat Miss..." then he looked down at the file in his hand and continued "Lindberg."
I went near him and sat on the chair that was in front of him.
He started again "So, how are you feeling today Miss Lindberg?"
"Umm. I-I" I couldn't find words.
"You look nervous Miss Lindberg”
I bit my lip again and looked down.
I wonder why hasn't your lip started bleeding yet.
He then got up from his seat and made his way towards me. He leaned against the table in front of me.
He was standing extremely close to my seat. My breath hitched by the closeness.
Before he says anything, I think I should give an explanation to him.
Yes. I should do that.
Ya but don't speak too much.
K.
"I am really sorry. Last night I was drunk and I lost my mind. I don't usually drink but last night I was so hurt that I went to that club. I know it was very stupid of me to do that. Then I even called you a kidnapper. I am sorry. You know I felt so guilty this morning and I started freaking out then I thought running away was the only safe way. I am sorry and also thank you for saving me last night or that bartender would have sent me to that corner and I don't know what would have happened. And that room thing, I am not what you think." I stopped when he bent down to my eye level, brought his face closer to me. My eyes widened.
What is he doing?
"What am I thinking Miss Lindberg?" he said in an extremely dark tone. I gulped hard.
"T-That I-I am" I can't do this.
"You are."
"I am."
"I am listening."
"C-can y-you please stop."
"Stop what Miss Lindberg."
"S-stop c-coming close t-to me."
"But last night you wanted this only I guess, when you pulled me."
My eyes opened, I stood up from my seat and moved away from him.
"I told you that was because I was drunk."
He smirked looking at me.
"Give me one valid reason why should I give you this job. Maybe you can get drunk again and God knows what you'll do. I can't risk my som's life by giving the job to you."
His child? He is the father?
I don't know why but listening to him I felt my heart ache.
"I promise I would never do that again. I will take good care of your son and I am not usually like this I know first impression matters but I promise it would never happen again. Please I really want the job. You can't judge me by just one meeting. Please Mr..."
"Charles . Charles Edward" He replied.
"Yes. Mr. Edward. I promise it would not happen again. I'll take good care of your son I promise.."
"Fine. It's not because all your sorries but because I see something in you. That you can handle him. So you are hired."
"Really! Thank you so much Mr. Edward. Thank you."
He then got up from the table where he was leaning, adjusted his coat and stood in front of me with hands in his pockets.
"There are some rules you need to follow Miss Lindberg
"What are the rules?"
"Rule number one: you will not lay a hand on him.
If even once I got to know about it. You'll face the worst there is.
Number two: my privacy is important so you will avoid disturbance.
Number three: there are some prohibited areas in the house where no one is allowed to go, don't dare to go there.
Number four: you'll not take my child out of the house without my permission.
Number five: I wouldn't entertain any other men in my house example your friend or boyfriend."
"Okayy.. But what time do I resume my work."
"It's from 8 to 6. All days except Sunday."
I nodded.
"And for your salary. It'll be $5,000."
My eyes widened. He is not joking right?
"Umm.. I think I didn’t get it right. Can you please repeat it?"
"No Miss Lindberg you heard it correctly. It's $5,000."
"Don't you think that's too much."
"No. I don't."
He went back to his seat and sat on the chair.
"when do I start working." I asked.
"Tomorrow. Sharp 8 am. Be on time or get ready to kiss the job goodbye."
I nodded.
"I hope you still remember my address." He said with a smirk.
Yes sir.
Ha! Finally I have gotten a job.
