That One Night Stand

Chapter 5

“ I don't understand what kind of job did you get that required you to pack all your stuff,” Nora said with a look of confusion written all over her face.

“A nanny job…’” Nora raised her brows.

“Okay, here is the thing. Remember I went to Jackson's office yesterday to see if I could talk to him, but luckily I saw a vacant job there which I applied for immediately and was interviewed by Jackson himself. Alicia's cheeks turned pink.

“But unfortunately the job had already been taken just an hour early, so he offered me a nanny job at his house for his 9-year-old daughter…,” Alicia explained.

“A 9-year-old?…. "You have got to be kidding me, Alicia, and you accepted it?” Nora said. Feeling frustrated.

“How can you accept something as stupid as that? Have you forgotten that this guy is married? And you are pregnant with his child. "I told you to make him pay for what he did to you, and instead you accepted to be his nanny,” Nora yelled.

“That's enough, Nora ... .I know what I'm doing. "Being his nanny will help me get closer to him and to know him better and maybe find a perfect time to break the news of the pregnancy to him,” Alicia said as her heart tightened. She expected Nora to be happy for her. She was disappointed at Nora’s reaction.

“ What if his wife…..” Nora's phone started vibrating, and she quickly excused herself to take the call while Alicia finished up her packing, waiting for her to say goodbye before she left.

Nora picks up the phone outside, “Yes Michael, I got your text, and I am working on it. ""I don't have fifty thousand dollars now, but I am on it please,” Nora said.

In the other line, “Sis, you have to hurry up, mum is dying." The doctor said that she should start chemotherapy immediately. "If not, mum will not make up to one month,” Michael is Nora’s younger brother.

“ I heard you, Michael, you should also find something to do yourself and make money. "Do you think it is easy to make money over here? "If mum dies it is on us both, not only me,” Nora disconnected the call angrily. She was totally disoriented.

Her mom was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer two weeks ago. She doesn't want to lose her mum to cancer. Her clients haven't been paying enough money recently, and she really needs money to save her mom's life.

“Is everything alright Nora…you were yelling on the phone,” Alicia asked as she saw Nora's worried look.

She never told Alicia about her mom's diagnosis as she didn't want any pity party from her. After all, her mum was never on good terms with Alicia's parents before they passed. But that never affected her relationship with Alicia. She had always loved her as her cousin's sister.

“ Yes, I am fine…. "It's just some ungrateful clients of mine,” Nora lied. Nora is a p********e and she was not even hiding it. She had tried to lure Alicia into it several times, but she rejected it.

“Hope you are not already missing me?” Alicia teased and Nora smirked at her. “ Get over yourself already,” they giggled.

“Don't worry, I will make sure I visit very often,” Alicia chimed.

“Babe, are you sure this is not a mistake?” Nora asked with concern.

“ Don't worry sis, I know exactly what I am doing,” Alicia said as she pulled Nora into a big hug and left.

Meanwhile, at Jackson's Residence.

Jackson was called back from work that Harley fainted. Harley is his 9-year-old daughter. Harley is his world.

Since Savannah, his wife, fired their last nanny, Jackson has been the one taking care of Harley, as his wife doesn't give a damn about her own daughter.

“Ken, what is wrong with my daughter? "She was healthy before I left for work this morning. "Why is she unconscious?” Jackson asked with a trembling voice. Ken was his family doctor and also his right-hand man, a good friend.

“I'm sorry Jay, but I am yet to determine the cause of her unconsciousness. This is how I met her when I got here after receiving a call from Kyle. "I have to revive her first ” Ken said as he returned his attention to Harley lying on the couch.

“You.. "What the hell happened to my daughter, you were supposed to look after her?, “ Jackson roared, facing Kyle, Harley’s bodyguard, who was trembling where he stood.

“ Am not sure sir, but I think Madam Savannah tased her …,” Jackson's eyes turned b****y cold as his anger rose. Savannah had been the jezebel in his life since his late father forced him to marry her for business purposes.

“I was there when Madam was yelling at her, and she ordered me to get out, but when I couldn't hear her voice anymore, I came inside to see Harley lying unconscious on the floor and that was when I called you and the doctor,” Kyle explained. Still shaking

“She tased my daughter….? Jackson's voice thundered, shaking the whole building.
