Baby sitting a Billionaire

Chapter 6

We now arrived at Moon’s office. I didn’t notice it as I kept on remembering the incident that had happened. Thinking about it now, it's actually where i gotten my biking trauma before. After that incident, I hadn't mustered the courage again to ride the bike they've given me until three months later. I settled on commuting whenever I go to malls despite the time consuming heavy traffics. Lianne tries to convince me to ride my bike again, the one that was given to me in exchange to my old one. Sometimes she even teases me by telling me that if i get involved in another accident again, maybe we can receive or have another two months supply of foods and some bills again, but I think I’ll be dead by then. I was lucky enough that the only thing that was damaged were wheel part of my previous bike and I just fell off the ground at a little shaken up from the impact.

Anyway, I want to know if it’s Moon’s big bike. Is Moon the one who hit me? They had a lot of resemblance. I mean, Moon has a butler and she’s rich. The girl who crashed into my bike also has a butler. Right! I must ask that to Moon.

The butler then knocked on her office.

“We’re here, Madam” The butler said. Wait, Madam? Did she call her madam? Does that mean…

“Come in.” Moon said.

“Uh… why didn’t you call me in the phone you have given to me ma’am?” I asked.

She just looked at me straight into my eyes and no words were uttered.

I decided to just zip my mouth. I’m starting to get scared of her.

“Because I don’t want to.” She replied. Still looking at my eyes. I feel intimidated.

“Uh, Okay.” Was all I said.

“You can leave us.” Moon said to the butler. Eulo, the butler then bowed and leave the room.

“Is there anything I need to do madam? Oh, yeah, I’ll clean your office.” I said. I started to find a broom or any thing that is needed for cleaning. Looking around the room for any mess.

“You’re not my maid.” She said.

“Uh… Ok.” I said. “do you want me to bake something for you? or to cook. I mean, is there anything you want to eat? I can do it.” I suggested.

“I did not hire you to cook.” She said, crossing her arms.

“yeah, right.” I said. I don’t know what else I should say.

“I hired you as my babysitter.” She said. “The only thing you need to do, is to take care of me. ONLY. ME.” She said emphasizing the last two words.

“Uh, yes. But…doesn’t that count? I mean, cooking something for you is a tell tale that I take good care of you, is it not? Cleaning your place is also another way of taking care of you.” I said. I have a point there, right? I mean, My mom cooks us dinner because she don’t want us to starve. Mom also cleans my room because she don’t want my place to be as messy as a dump site.

“What would my chef and maid do if you take over their job?” right. She has a point there.

“But then, what should I do? what kind of things you think is enough description of taking care of you?” I asked. She’s a grown up woman already. She knows every decision she makes. She can take good care of herself.

I still can’t believe she needs a baby sitter.

“You just have to chose between the two. first you shut your mouth and just do whatever I say, and don’t ever asks me questions that is related to your job.” She said. She stands up and slowly walking on where I am.

“Uh… isn’t it my right to ask and to know my job description?”

“Yes, it is. But you signed the contract without any job description written in there. It means, you agree to whatever tasks I might be giving you.”

Right, I forgot. But it’s all like an agreement. But yeah, I remember now. There is no such thing as job description written in the contract or I should say, agreement. Because there is no assurance that I can stay here for long. I can get the real contract if I passed their standards.

But I find it weird, why do they need to make it so complicated?

“Right.” I said. “What is the second option?” I asked.

Moon sat on the couch beside me.

“Second, simply..” then she stand ups and lean closer to me and whispered “Be my wife”.

WHAT?! I am just here as a babysitter and now she's telling me to become her wife? Is this some sort of promotion in my position? I mean from a babysitter to her wife?

I cleared my throat and answered “I am straight, Miss.” I said.

“So what? anything can bend, like rulers, poles , even past bends too when it gets wet, you can bend any straight materials if you want to, there's always a way.” She said.

“I am not what you think I am. I am not the things you just mentioned. It is not a trend. Making someone gay just because you like it and it is popular nowadays doesn't mean you should do it. You can’t just make straight people gay just because someone in that party likes her, same as you can’t just make gay people straight just because people conceived it as a sin, written on a bible. I'm sorry to disappoint you but I don’t see myself getting attracted to a woman. Besides, I am here to work, not to get side tracked by cupid nor you, or to slide on a rainbow with you.” I said.

“hmm… So I guess you choose the number one then.” She said. “Find Anastacia and tell her I want beef steak for my dinner and go to Roman and tell him that I want the flowers in my vase to be changed. Tell Eulo that I need to talk to him and tell him to come to my room after dinner. I want you to be back in 7minutes.” She said.

“What?! Are you serious?” I asked.

“5minutes then.”

“Is this because I rejected your offer in becoming your wife?” I asked.

“I am not that Immature, Ms. Limerson. I told you that I hate being late. In every minute you get here delayed, one punishment will be added. And that’s merely your punishment for being late this morning, so in 5minutes i want you to informe those employees as to I've told you.” She said.

“What are phones for?” Her house is huge and I am not a runner. I am even lazy when it comes to working out. 5minutes is not enough for me because I need to find those unfamiliar person. And I need to search for them from wherever corner in this house they might be.

“3minutes then”

“Hey! That’s unfair. Make it 7 and I won’t complain anymore.” I said.

“Who’s the boss here?” She asked. “I am. Right? You should follow what I ordered or else I will fire you.” She said.

“Fine.” I said defeatedly.

“Time is running, you better run too.” She said, turning on the stop watch. I ran faster as I can. I hate her!! Maybe that’s the reason why most of the babysitters who applied here, did not able to stay for long. But, the thing is, are they even all aware that it’s not a baby they'll be taking care of? Like me, I am not aware that the one I should be taking care of is a full grown adult.

“Where should I even find those people? What are their names again? Aish!” I took a paper from my pocket, good thing I was alert earlier and was able to write their names.

‘Who the heck is Anastacia?’ I asked myself. I am still running. This house is huge. No doubt she needs a lot of person to do some specific task because she, herself can’t do it on her own. I am talking about cleaning this house, gardening and cooking. I mean, it’s not like you’ll be able to tour around this place in 5minutes or more and then go to the kitchen to cook, then go to her huge garden to water it or plant another flower and so on.

I ran to the kitchen. I remembered moon saying something about her dinner tonight. It must be the cook she’s referring to.

“Hello? Is Anastacia here?” I shouted. There is no one in the kitchen. Time is running, I must go and find Jason, maybe he knew where they are..

I ran in the garden. Looking for Jason or whoever it is in there to help me find these person.

No Jason mowing or watering the plants. he's not even in the hut, I do not see any Jason around.

“Aish!! Why is this mansion so big?! I’m tired.’ I said. Sitting in the hut. I know my 5minutes are already over, I have no superpowers to control time. If I have, I might use it to stop the time and punch that Moon straight at her pretty face. GRRR.

Nobody really is around. I was still looking for Jason or whoever will pop up out of nowhere when I saw a bike. I remembered the accident again and I forgot to ask her about it.

Right! I have a great idea. I’ll use it to find Eulo, Anastacia and Roman.

I rode the bike and stroll it around. It’s weird. I can’t see anybody here.

No one is in the garden, no one is at the garage, no one is in the pool area. Wait a minute… there must be something going on here. I can’t see anyone inside the mansion nor outside.

I remember she said that she want beef steak for dinner, but she haven’t eaten her lunch yet. There must be something wrong in here.

I think, they are hiding.

I quickly ran to Moon’s office. When I got to Moon’s office, I didn’t knock. I just quickly opened the door just to find out that everyone is in there. I saw Jason and 5 other adults. They are having their lunch. In her office.

I knew it, Moon is really up to something. And I just figure it out.

“You’re here. Did you already tell them?” She asked. The other five adults inside were acting as if nothing happened. They are all eating their lunch.

GRRR. So this is why huh? This is maybe one of the reason why most of the previous babysitter did not last for long.

She’s challenging me? Ha! Well I’m up to it.

I took a deep breathe, smiled and said “Not yet, madam.”

“But I guess I don’t need to tell them anyways.” I continued.

Eulo is also here, so no need to tell him that Moon needs to talk to him. I noticed that the flowers on the vase was changed. Roman might have came here to change the flowers earlier. Also, the lunch for today is beefsteak with corn soup. But that’s weird. I just got to the kitchen earlier and there is no sign of someone cooking. How did they do that?

“Come and eat with us, Miss.” Eulo invited.

“You must be tired running around just to find us. We’re sorry about that.” The older lady said. I guess she’s in her fifties? It must be Moon’s mother. She look so sophisticated and well mannered yet soft, Unlike Moon.

It’s true. I’ve been running around just to find them. Good thing I followed my intuition that something is going on. Though I am not used to running around so I easily get tired.

“Nah, I can manage. I mean, it’s fine. I think the brat just wants to play.” I said looking directly to Moon.

Moon looks back at me after taking a bite.

I smirked at her, she doesn’t know who she messes up with.

“So, you still have the energy to play, huh?” She said. Challenging me.

“It’s for you to find out.” I said.

“Enough of that. You stop it Mulan!” The older lady said.

‘Mulan?’ isn’t it a Chinese movie?

I stick my tongue out, teasing her.

“I’m sorry for what she did.” The older lady said.

“It’s fine ma’am. I think I’m getting used to it.” I said.

“Oh no, don’t call me ma’am. I am working with her, just like you. I am her previous babysitter.”

It surprise me to know that, I thought she’s her mother.

“I thought---” Jason cuts me off.

“Come eat with us, Luna.” He invited.

“We always do this every meal, we ate together.” The other lady said.

“I will introduce you to them. While we're eating.” Jason cheerfully said.

“This is Eulo, the butler. He takes care of Madam’s security. He knows a lot of self-defense, martial arts technique and sometimes I am having training with him. You know, learning some martial arts, Muay Thai or something. The one who just talk to you is Miss Mia. She’s Madam’s previous baby sitter when she was younger. This one is Anastacia.” He said pointed to the lady who looks around to be in her forties? Or thirties, I think?

“She's our chef. She can make any food you want, just ask her and she'll cook it. She also have her own original recipe and specialty. you should try it sometime, it's superb.” Jason boasted. I take a bite on the food she made.

‘hmm, this is really delicious. But I am not sure if this is what it should really taste though. I mean, I haven’t tried this dish before.’

“Original recipe is better than what we are used to” I heard Ms. Anastacia said.

“Indeed.” I replied.

“By the way, we’ll go ahead first.” Eulo said.

“Huh? Why? Aren’t you guys eating with us?” I asked them. Then I noticed all of them are done eating.

“We still have a lot of things to do, Miss Luna.” He replied.

“I’ll wait for you though. I am in charge of cleaning the dishes after cooking.” Miss Anastacia said.

“Oh, no need. I’ll wash it myself later. Thank you.” I said. It’s embarrassing if she waits for me to finish just so she could wash the dishes, not to mention I am just starting to eat so it'll take while. She’ll have to wait a little longer for me to finish. I can’t let her do that.

“Oh no, I insist. It is a part of my job, Ms. Luna.” She said.

“But…” I don’t know how to continue what I'm about to say to her. But I remembered moon telling me earlier that everyone in this house has their own duty. And she didn’t hire them just for other people to do their job.

“Fine” I said. I can’t argue anymore.

“Thank you.” She said. I want to talk to them more. Maybe later I’ll pay them a visit to the kitchen or find Miss. Mia. I want to know more about that bratty woman who hires a babysitter even though she’s already old enough.

After a few minutes, well I guess it lasted about half an hour? Hehe, I am a slow eater. I finished my food. Moon keeps on nagging me on how slow I am. She needs me right away but she’s too shy to ask for my help because I’m eating. Please note the sarcasm.

While I am eating, Moon keeps on noting the duties I need to do after I eat. She said she’s bored so I must give her a massage, she said I should learn to copy her signature on the printed documents so that I’ll be able to sign all of the papers that she already reviewed. She said that her hands are getting tired and numb and she needs back up.

Grrr so immature. Don’t tell me she don’t know that signatures are important. Once you signed a paper, it will give the other party the rights that you’re giving them you’re approval on whatever agreement it is or if it is about some money or so on, not to mention it's a crime to falsificate a document or in this case her signature.

So yeah, all in all I just stayed quiet and finished eating my food. Hehe. Anastacia went back to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

“You’re so slow. I think I hired a wrong person.” She said.

“Who told you to put a lot of food in my plate then? How can I so eat fast with that amount huh?” I said.

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. While she keeps on nagging me as to how slow I was when I was eating, she also keeps on adding food in my plate. Then continued to tell me to eat all of that because apparently I am lucky enough to have such a delicious lunch that only rich and famous person can afford, and yet, I was given the privilege to eat that food when I am just a babysitter. YUP! You heard it right! She’s that arrogant.

“I don’t want the food to come into waste.” She replied.

“You arrogant bratty little....!”

“yeah, yeah. Go on and massage me.”

This thick faced woman!!

“Oh, yeah, I forgot. Please go to Eulo and tell him to tell Arnold to clean the car. Arnold knows what car it is. I have a dinner date later.” She said.

“What? Really? Can’t you just text or call them? What is the Moonstar for?” I said. Talking about her personalized phone she have given to us.

“Right! How smart are you.” She said. A little impressed. “But I’m too lazy to do that.” She continued.

“Then I’ll text them” GRR!! Is laziness her sickness?

“Good, my phone just ran out of battery” she reasoned out.

“What are the charger for?” I said. Tss, she can’t deceive me. Ran out of battery her face!

“Yeah, I forgot. You have your phone. But sadly, they don’t bring their phones after lunch. It’s rest time.”

ARRGGHHH!! THIS GIRLLL!!

“If I were you, I’ll start running before Eulo falls asleep.” Moon said while playing with her pen.

“And if Eulo falls asleep, you can’t find Arnold. He doesn’t want to be disturbed during their one hour rest time. He’s good at hiding” Moon continued as she whispered the last word. “And if that happens, I’ll blame you if I am late for my dinner date tonight”

I am slowly losing my patience with her. God please give the patience not to kill her right now.

“Oh, you can start running.” After she said that, she walks out of the office.

I thought THEY HAVE AN HOUR REST!! Then why should I bither them?

Tss!! I just ate lunch, and she wanted me to run now? Tss!!
