"Ms Taylor. You are once again late! And this time it isn't by 3 minutes but an hour. A full hour!" Mrs. Summers said furiously, yet Brooke just smirked at her. This was something Brooke dreamt of doing ever since she started working here. "Oh lighten up, Kelly." Mrs Summers looked like she was about to burst of anger anytime now. "That's it you are fi-" "Save it. I quit!" Brooke shouted. Gasps erupted throughout the room. Ben and Sarah stared at Brooke. "Wait you're leaving us?" Sarah asked, looking sadly at Brooke. "Yes, I got offered another job. But I'll miss both of you." She hugged them both before grabbing her stuff and leaving this place with a big smile.  ---------- Brooke just arrived at Mr. Garry Cashvian son's mansion and she was currently busy packing her clothes in her new room. This house was extremely big. Her room was most probably bigger than her entire apartment that she used to live in. The walls were painted light green and the blankets of the queen sized bed matched it as well as the curtains. She did not meet the famous Nathaniel Cashvian and his son, Luke yet. The only people she met were the cook Lucy and the gardener Tyler. Brooke looked up when she heard a knock on her door. "Ms. Taylor. How are you settling in?" She heard Mr. Garry Cashvian asking. Brooke got up from what she was doing and went to open the door. "Good, thanks." She answered him with a smile small.  "Well my son, just went to go fetch his child in school, which will be your job from tomorrow onward. They will be here any second now." He nodded his head at her and then turned around to go inside. After Brooke was done packing she heard voices downstairs. That must be Mr Nathaniel Cashvian and his son. She decided to look a bit more presentable and she went to take a quick shower before she got dressed in a summer dress leaving her hair wet and frizzy before she went downstairs. "Ah Ms. Taylor, please come meet my son Nathaniel." His back was facing her but from behind she could see his was broad and muscular. He was in suit. When he turned around she was met with the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. It was a deep blue color that held no emotion in them. As her eyes trailed down his face she saw his jaw was firm and muscular, he had full lips. He was by far the most attractive man she had ever laid eyes on. Suddenly she saw he had a small smirk appear on face and then she composed herself, he knew she had checked him out. "It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Cashvian, I'm Brooke Taylor." She said in the most formal voice she could master up. She reached her hand out to him and he greeted it firmly. Her hand felt small against his big hand. "I would say the same but then I would be lying." He said and she gasped at how her rude he was. Her eyes diverted to his son, and luckily he had not heard a word his father said. She chose to ignore his rude comment and focused on his son. She bent down on her knees and looked at Luke. "And you little guy must be Luke. I'm Brooke" She said and smiled at him. His eyes brightened up and he sent her a big toothy grin. Without warning he gave her a hug. This action of Luke took Nate by surprise. Luke was never one to warm up anyone this quickly, yet in in a matter of minutes he hugged her. "Daddy she's very pretty." Nate heard his son say. "Come, come Brookie, I want to show you my room." He said excitedly and Brooke smiled at him. He pulled her and she followed him. Even though Nate did not want Brooke here, could not lie, that she was indeed pretty, beautiful even. She did not look like the usual women he went after. They were slim and blonde, where she was curvy and had ebony black hair. "Son, don't mess with her please." His father's voice brought him out of his thoughts. "Father, I don't understand why you had to assign her to work for me, when you know my reputation with women. And she is still very pretty,  so I can't promise anything." His father sent him a knowing smile. "Ah, son good luck with this one." Nate frowned at his father. "Well I best be going now. I'll see you the weekend." His father left. "Emily!" He called and within a matter of minutes a blonde woman walked in. "Yes Nate?" She asked as she batted her eyelashes at him. She was his assistant and she was just his type, slim and built like a model with piercing blue eyes. He had her in bed once and suddenly she thought they had something special going on. He was used to this behavior from women. A few women told him how good he was in bed so her behavior was expected, even though he hated it and felt like firing her but she was really good at her job. "I need you to call in; I won't be able to make the meeting this afternoon. I have other matters to attend to." "Okay, sir. Is there anything else?" She asked with hope in her voice. "Nope that will be all." "Will I see you later?" She asked. Hope evident in her tone and Nate knew where this was going. "Emily, do as I tell you." Disappointed, she nodded and left the room to make the phone call. He walked up stairs to his son's room. What he saw surprised him, Brooke was seated on Luke's bed with Luke on her lap as she read his favorite story. Brooke looked up when she heard someone by the door. "What are you doing?" Nathaniel asked in a hard voice. Before Brooke could answer Luke answered for her. "She was reading me a story, Daddy." He said as he jumped off her lap. "That's wonderful Luke, but why don't you go look for Emily for me I want to talk to Brooke for a minute."  "But I don't like Emily. She's mean I want to be with Brookie." He whined "Okay Luke, then go to Lucy for me. I need to talk to Brooke" Luke nodded his head before he ran inside. Nathaniel stared at her with so much intensity she felt like squirming under his gaze. "I'm sorry...uh. I didn't mean to read him his book." She managed to say. She hated how intimidated she felt by him. "Ms. Taylor. I'll tell you everything that you need to do." He said ignoring her words. "The only thing you need to do is clean my room, look after everything that's mine and most importantly look after my son. When I have a woman over be sure to let Luke not see anything. You are free to do whatever you like on weekend because my mother or my sister usually comes here to watch Luke." She nodded in understanding. "If that is all, can I take my leave now?"  "Not just yet." He said and he's voice was suddenly husky. In a matter of second he was standing right in front of Brooke, with not much space between them. "Let's get one thing straight. I do not need you here and I honestly don't see why my father I had to hire you but just know I will get rid of you." Brooke stared at him in disbelief and felt something snap in her. There was no way she was going allow this man talk to her like this. Even if he was her boss. "What exactly are you going to do, Mr. Cashvian?" She asked in a daring tone. "I'm going to sleep with you and you will have no other choice but to leave. After I slept with you you'll be so in love with me and I'll want nothing to do with you so you'll be so heartbroken that you will leave, just like all the others before you." He's breath was fanning her face, but she wasn't fazed at all which actually surprised him. "Like all the others before me?" she asked, confusion laced in her voice. "Yes, my father tried this a few times already and each time it ended the same. They left because I wanted nothing to do with them after we slept together." "I don't know why all those women would want to sleep with a jerk like you." She heard herself say. "Well Ms. Taylor I think it has something to do with my extremely good looks. Besides they know what the get themselves into." "I hate to break it to you but I don't give a damn about your so called good looks. I go for character and good personality, something you clearly lack." For a second surprise filled his eyes, but just for a split second but it definitely didn't go unnoticed by Brooke. "Brooke, I will get you. They always give in to me." "Well Mr. Cashvian, I'd like to see you try." She said and without a warning she left the room He must be dreaming if he ever thought I'd sleep with him, he might be a Greek god but he was so full of himself. Brooke was furious and she went straight to her room to phone Cara. "Hello best friend, how does it feel living with the hottest man alive?" Cara asked excitedly. "It's hell Cara! Why did I accept the offer? This man is arrogant and so full of himself!" Brooke exclaimed. "Oh come on Brooke, who the hell cares about that when you look at his face and body?" "Cara, you're not helping at all okay"  "Fine, fine. He's such a meanie we should kill him." Cara said, sarcasm dripping from her every word. Brooke gritted her teeth. When Brooke didn't answer, Cara probably knew she was angry and spoke again. "Brooke, I'm sure tomorrow will be better than today, it was after all your first day." "I doubt it will, but I have to go now, okay." They hung up and Brooke decided to go back downstairs to see where Luke was. Even though his father was such a jackass, he was still pretty damn adorable. "Brookie! Come join me and Daddy for dinner." Luke shouted when he had spotted her. "Oh no Luke, you should eat with your father, I already ate and I'm not hungry." Brooke said. She did not feel like sitting around the same table as this infuriating man. Clearly he knew it too because he sent her a smirk. She felt like smacking that smirk off his face. Luke pouted. "Then just sit with us, I don't want to eat dinner with Daddy alone. Brooke looked at him and he looked so adorable she couldn't help but agree. "Okay little guy, but only for a few minutes." Luke gave her a wide grin and immediately jumped on her lap when she took a seat. Nathaniel stared at the sight Luke on Brooke's lap. He's father might have gotten a few girls to help change him, but never has Luke ever been like this to any one of them. Maybe Brooke reminded Luke of his mother. Nate shook his head furiously; he refused to think of the only woman he has ever loved and besides Brooke was nothing like her. ------- Brooke was currently in her room now, ready to go bed. Luke had stayed with Lucy after dinner and Nathaniel had been typing the life out of his phone completely ignoring everyone around him, so she decided to go to bed. Suddenly her phone rang, she saw it was Ben. "Hello princess." Ben said in the phone, she smiled. He always calls her princess. "Ben! It's wonderful to hear from you." She said happily. "Brooke, we miss you so much." "I miss you too, Ben. More than you know." She muttered the last part to herself. Mrs. Summers might have been a pain in the butt, but at least Brooke had people like Sarah and Ben there. "You haven't even told me where you working now." Ben stated. Before she could reply she heard someone clean their throat. She looked up and saw Nathaniel was standing in the doorway. "Look Ben, I have to go. I'll talk to you again." "Wait, Brooke. When can I see you?" "I'll let you know. Bye." She ended the phone call and turned her attention back to Nathaniel. "Is there something I can help you with?" She asked, not hiding the fact that she did not want him here. "Yes, there is. But I would like to know, who is Ben?" She stared at him, the nerve he had to ask her that. "Sir I believe that's none of your business." "Well if you are staying here, you are my business and so is your personal life." Brooke gritted her teeth together. "Mr. Cashvian, he's a close friend of mine. Are you happy?" "Indeed I am." She rolled her eyes at him. "What did you need me to do?" "I need you to keep Luke occupied for the night, a lady friend of mine is coming over and this time of the night he usually wants my attention." Brooke couldn't believe her ears. "Sir, not to be disrespectful but you would rather have a lady friend over, than give attention to your own son." "I give my son attention, but tonight is my night and I will have a lady friend over if I want. Besides, if you don't want me to have a lady friend over, why don't you come entertain me?" He smirked at the last part and started moving closer too Brooke. Brooke moved until she hit a wall in her bedroom. "I would not even dream of doing something like that." He was way too close for her liking, even though he had the most beautiful eyes and she could totally get lost in them. He moved an inch closer, and his breath was fanning her lips. "Daddy, Daddy." They heard Luke call. With new found confidence Brooke pushed him away, catching Nathaniel by surprise. Luke entered Brooke's room. "Daddy, that rude lady is here, she say she's here for you." "Aah, that must be Camilla. Luke, why don't you stay here by Brooke while I sort out that rude lady?" When Luke did not look he sent Brooke a wink and left the room. "What was Daddy doing in your room Brookie?" "Oh was just telling me how I should pick you up from school tomorrow, and spent some time with you." Luke's eyes lit up. "Really?" "Yes, really!" Brooke laughed, she knew she was going to love this little one. She couldn't help but wonder how his mother was like or where she even was. She wondered if his mother was one of Nathaniel's meaningless flings. Did Luke even know his mother? All this things ran through her mind. "Brookie?" Luke's voice broke her from her train of thoughts. "Yes honey?" "Why does my father spent time with that lady when he always plays with me." Luke had sadness written over his entire face. He blue eyes -much similar to his father's- that always sparked with happiness was dull. "Your Dad would not mind playing with you but he just want to sort the lady out. Why do you say she's rude, my love? Is she mean to you?" Brooke couldn't bear the thought of someone being mean to Luke. "She says, she wanna marry my Daddy and that she will be my mommy and she'll hit me. I don't want her to be my mommy Brookie." Luke said his bottom lip quivering. "I promise you Luke no one's going to hurt you." Luke smiled but Brooke could see he was still sad. She decided she'll take him to his room and read him a book till he fell asleep. Even though Brooke didn't like Nathaniel Cashvian the only good thing he brought into this world so far was his son Luke.
