In need of a Nanny

Episode2

Ray's POV

"Who are you and what are you doing in front of my house? "Didn't you read the sign that this house was a wealthy house". I said annoyed. After what Jenny did, I hated all women.. She seemed entirely shocked.

"I was looking for a job". She replied.

"What job?". I asked.

"Like a homemaker". She muttered and I blinked... She said it mistakenly, so she quickly corrected herself... "I meant a housemaid". She replied.

"Can you be a nanny?". Davis asked and she nodded.

Davis went to hug her immediately...

"Davis, what's wrong with you?". I asked, annoyed and dragged him to my side. "How many times do I have to tell you that you shouldn't go near strangers. They're evil". I added and Davis smiled.

"Dad, I want her to be the nanny". Little Davis cried out

"Fine but not now. Come back tomorrow where there's an interview for the best nanny". I said.

"Best Nanny". Davis asked. "No dad, I want her". He cried out again and I became confused.

"Please sir, I don't have anywhere to go". She said,

"And how's that my concern?". I asked her.

"Dad!". Davis screamed at me and I felt guilty....

"The whole world knows you have all the rooms to give, please ma'am, may I know your name?". Davis asked and I just looked in confusion.

"I'm Ella". She said,

Beautiful Name... I muttered silently

"You have such a cute name, I'm Davis". He said and she chuckled.

"You also have a fine name". She replied,

"Dad, please...let her stay here". He begged, and I directed her into the compound and locked the gate...

Davis's POV

I brought out my diary which had been kept hidden... Even dad never knew of this diary because it contained all my sadness which I couldn't express.

I flipped through the pages and scribbled something, pouring out my whole heart into it

"Nanny".

Then I began writing....

"Dear Diary

I know this might sound crazy, but I like Ella for my dad. She's calm, humble and gentle

Ever since Mom left, Dad has been the one taking care of me, and he's hated all women making me to lack what it feels like to have a woman figure in my life.

Dear Diary, can you help me?

Oh God, please let my father fall in love with Ella". I wrote as I cried...

Immediately I heard a knock on the door. I threw the diary under my bed and the door opened with my dad walking inside with Ella.

Ella's POV

"Hi there". I said to Davis, who blushed and smiled back at me. This boy really likes me.

"Here's a list of your roles as a nanny". Ray said and began listing it on the white board in Davis' room with a marker...

"Make sure Davis doesn't cry". He wrote and I chuckled inside.

Hey jerk, I'm pretending to be gentle because of Davis. I would have poked my hand into your face right from the gate.

Is Davis supposed to cry?

"Always pick Davis from school. His school's vacation starts the day after tomorrow, so you will be free from this rule". He wrote and I nodded.

"Make sure Davis is well-fed". He said.

Ohhh come off it!

Is Davis a day-old baby?

If he isn't well-fed, he should sit and learn to be. I wasn't well-fed either.

He turned and faced me.

"That is because some nannies would decide to eat their boss' children's food". He said and I nodded...

Fool! Why would I eat cornflakes or that disgusting thing called Golden Morn...

"Yes sir". I replied as he wrote again.

"Never leave the house for any reason".

Wait!.. was I a prisoner?

How much is he going to even pay me...

He left the right-hand side of the board and went to the left side... Then he drew a line in the middle and started writing again...

"House Maid". He wrote and I chuckled.

"But sir, I'm just a nanny" I managed to say.

"I'll pay you well". He replied without even apologizing… ahhhh, this man is a definition of arrogance and pride

Why do I feel he doesn't want me here?

"Dad, isn't it too....." Davis was saying,

"Will you keep shut?". He shouted at him and Davis kept quiet immediately.

"Make sure all the toilets are washed". He added

"Make sure all the equipment In the house is cleaned".

"Make sure you keep the kitchen clean when cooking".

"Make sure you don't leave the gas on for a while ......

I just feel like punching this man, all these rules… if not that I needed this Job I would have walk away, another thing am considering is, it's like Davis is a loner.

Ray's POV

Now with all this, I'm sure she won't take the job again...

I laughed to myself. Feeling proud of myself

I'm so brilliant.

Davis won't blame me for driving her out...

I needed an old woman for a nanny, not a seductive young lady...

She won't accept the proposal with those 50 rules... I'm sure, anyway, who will agree to this many rules as a young lady?

Nevertheless, I was going to pay her a huge sum of money. "100,000 dollars".

I laughed again as I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in". I said smiling

Eager to hear her response though

"I'm here to tell you what I've decided". She said and I smiled.

"Go on". I said.

"I'm willing to take the two offers for both the nanny and housemaid job". She said and I gasped. I was surprised, shocked, angry, just name it. I couldn't hold myself back and shouted…

"What?".

******

Please, someone should help me and tell Mr Ray not to be surprised ooo… it seems Mr Ray will get trapped in his nest.

Smiles. he doesn't know Ella's issue right now is just a job

Let's see what will happen in the next chapter.
