CHAPTER THREE
1015 Words
Christine couldn’t believe her eyes, she pinched her arm to check if she was dreaming or not. She felt like she was in a fairytale. This couldn’t be real.
She was standing in front of Logan Grayson, the drop-dead gorgeous CEO of Grayson Enterprises.
The owner of a chain of hotels around the world. He had inherited it from his father, Edward Grayson, clearly old money, but the company was more exposed and made more revenue under his leadership.
Logan Grayson has won numerous awards for his philanthropy and business deals, He was consistently named under Time’s 100 most influential person and once graced Tatler’s magazine as the world most eligible bachelor.
Christine felt the pictures she had seen of him on the newspapers or the internet, didn’t do him enough justice. He was more good looking and hotter in person and his voice made her body shiver with every word he uttered. It was raspy and sexy with a British accent that reminded her of her favorite Tv show, Bridgerton.
“With the way you’re staring at me, I’m sure you know who I am” Logan said, his eyes fixed on Christine.
He wasn’t new to this, in fact he got this treatment from a lot of people everyday.
The star-struck eyes and the watery mouth look. Everyone either wanted to take a picture with him or get his autograph. Ladies flocked around him. He knew he was handsome, his wealth and fame also made it easier for people to identify him.
But Logan couldn’t stop looking at Christine for obvious reasons. The petite brunette had certainly been blessed with her share of beauty.
Her plump pink lips and her pair of hazel-green eyes seemed to pierce his soul.
He tried so hard to avoid eyeing her cleavage. Why did she have to wear such tight clothes that revealed her soft curves, Logan thought swallowing hard.
Why did the new nanny have to be a young, beautiful and sexy woman. He was used to the old women with their big dress. Not that he couldn’t control himself around women, but Christine made him feel a certain way and he knew he wouldn’t be able to keep his hands of her.
She was beautiful, entirely different from the women he found himself mingling with, women who were shallow and had plastic surgery-altered face thickly caked with makeup. Her natural looks and simple style aroused him in ways he couldn’t comprehend.
“Yes,” Christine replied, “You’re Logan Grayson, your face has been splattered on every tabloid, it will be so hard to miss you”.
Christine knew who Logan was, or at least from the information she had read from various news outlets. He was a glorified playboy who dated A-list celebrities and could never last more than a month in a relationship.
That was until he fell in love and married a Victoria Secret model, Rose Miller, but she died giving birth to their daughter, Alexis.
After a few years, Logan got back to his former ways of switching woman and uncommitted relationships.
Logan threw his head back and chuckled lightly. He hardly laughed, but here he was gleaming because of Christine.
He felt she was special, different, there was something about her that made him want to be around her.
“Don’t believe everything they say about me,” he replied Christine, his eyes still fixed at her.
Christine blushed looking away, it was as if everything he did made her body react a certain way.
Christine was about to talk when a little girl ran into the room and hugged Logan’s leg.
It was Alexis, his daughter.
“Daddy, Daddy!!!” she yelled wrapping her tiny hands around his leg tight, “Aren’t you going to play with me?”
“Lexi,” Logan replied, he bent down and ruffled her black hair before tickling her lightly. Alexis laughed pushing his hands away.
“I’m sorry princess, but Daddy have to go to work now,” Logan added “But I brought a friend”.
He gestured towards Christine who was admiring the doting father and his adorable 5-years old. She could see that Logan’s really loved his daughter.
“I don’t want any more nannies,” Alexis frowned, wrinkling her nose. She was clearly annoyed that her father didn’t want to play with her and had to substitute himself with someone else.
Alexis didn’t like the nannies her father constantly brought to the house. She always played prank on them and made them leave.
But Logan was a businessman and he had a lot of money, so hiring a new one to replace the other wasn’t a big deal.
Infact he had an unlimited subscription with the nanny corporation to always find him a new nanny whenever Alexis scared anyone away.
“Hey Alexis,” Christine chipped in, bending a little so she can be on the same level with Alexis “I can play with you”
“No!!!” the little girl screamed, crossing her arms and she shaking her head. “ I want to play with daddy”
“Okay, But if you play with daddy you won’t learn my magic trick” Christine shrugged, before pulling out a coin from the back of Alexis’s right ear.
“Tada!!!” Christine exclaimed.
Alexis eyes went wide in shock, her jaw dropping in amusement.
“How did you do that?” she asked taking the coin from Christine’s palm. She stared at it trying to understand the trick Christine just did.
“Magic!!!!,” Christine winked “I can teach you if you let me”.
“What are you waiting for?” Alexis beamed in delight while she dragging Christine’s wrist as she ran towards the stairs. “Let’s go to my room”.
From the corner of her eyes, Christine could see Logan smiling at her before he stepped out the front door.
She knew she had gotten the job.
She was going to be working for Logan Grayson.
