XYNETH'S POV
I can't believe what just happened. Part of me had hoped that one day, I would cross paths with that man again, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. I'm still trying to process the situation.
The man chuckles at my expression. "What a small world, our paths always cross again."
I don't know what to say, so I simply nod my head.
"Are you uncomfortable?" he asks, and I immediately shake my head before speaking. "No, I'm not, Sir. It's just that I don't know exactly what to say. I apologize," I say politely.
"Don't worry about it. Let's get to the point. I'm going to ask you some questions, and you have to answer them truthfully. Okay?" he says in a cold tone, enough to make me shiver a little.
I nod my head. "Okay."
He smiles at me. "Please sit on the couch. You might get tired if you keep standing," he says.
I go to the couch near him without any complaints. I'm looking at his direction, and he's looking at me. I'm waiting for the interview to start.
"Okay. First, since you didn't give me your resume, I'm going to ask you some questions about your personal life. Is that okay?" he asks for my permission.
I nod my head. "Yes, it's okay."
"Good. What is your full name, your age, your birthdate, your zodiac sign, your hobbies, your favorite music, are you still single, and if so, how many exes do you have? What are your favorite foods and drinks? What is your goal in life? What do you hate in a person? What are your desires, and what are your past related jobs?" he asks, and I'm awed, forming an 'o' shape with my mouth.
When he realizes what he just asked, he clears his throat. "I'm sorry. You don't have to answer all of that."
I chuckle. "It's okay. I'm going to answer anyway since I didn't give you my resume because I forgot it." I take a deep breath before answering his questions one by one, trying to remember all of them.
"My name is Xyneth Lava Asuncion. I'm 22 years old, turning 23. My birthdate is May 27, and my zodiac sign is Gemini. My hobbies are dancing, singing, reading novels, and watching dramas. As for my favorite music, I can't exactly answer that because if I have a favorite music and I keep replaying it, I end up hating it instead of liking it more. So my answer is whatever music suits my taste. Am I single? Yes, I am. How many exes? I have only one scumbag ex. My favorite food and drink... I can't say for sure. I'll eat whatever is served at the table as long as it's not poisonous and suits my liking. I'm not a picky eater. My goal in life? To meet my parents. What do I hate about a person? Someone who doesn't respect each other's preferences and doesn't know how to respect me and other people. My desires are to have money, and my past related jobs include being a bodyguard, fashion model, bartender, and waitress," I say, catching my breath.
"Thanks for the info. You're hired," he says with a smile.
As soon as I hear the word 'hired,' I beam with happiness. "Thank you so much, sir. I will do my best to take care of your son."
He smiles. "You're welcome. Don't call me 'sir' anymore. Start calling me Yves from now on, and we're good."
"What about my luggage and stuff in my house, Si—Yves? Since the poster says that I should live here, can I request to start working tomorrow? I need to organize my things before I start living here as a babysitter," I politely say.
"Okay," he immediately answers. "Make sure to be here at exactly 4:00 in the morning since you'll be responsible for taking care of my son, including bathing him and feeding him. I won't be here tomorrow because I have a lot of things to do for my company."
"Okay, noted. I will be here at four in the morning," I say politely before standing up. "Well then, pardon me. I will now take my leave. Thank you, Yves," I say before walking towards the door.
Before I can leave, Yves speaks up. "'Til we meet again," he says.
I'm curious about why he always says something like that, but I decide not to dwell on it. He's just teasing me, I'm sure.
As I'm about to leave, I see the beautiful maid humming while watering the plants. She stops humming as I pass by.
"Did you get hired?" the maid asks in a soft tone.
I smile. "Yes. Thanks for your encouragement."
"You're welcome. By the way, where are you going?"
"Home. To pack my belongings," I answer.
"Okay," she replies before getting back to what she was doing, while I walk through the gate.
As I'm walking, my phone rings, and I open my bag to retrieve it. I immediately answer the call when I see Rosalie's name on the caller ID.
"Dear, the Simon Company is hiring someone, so I thought I should give you a call. You're desperate to find another job, right? So grab the chance," Rosalie says on the other line.
"It's okay, you don't need to. I'm already hired as a babysitter, and besides, the salary is shockingly high. Since I'm hired, do you have time? If so, let's celebrate. It's on me," I say.
Rosalie immediately answers, "Damn, of course, yes! This is the day I've been waiting for. I'm going to ask for a leave today. Let's go to the XXX bar. Don't reject my suggestion; I also want to have some fun since my ex-boyfriend cheated on me."
I chuckle. "Okay, okay. Make sure to pick me up at my house since I don't have a chauffeur. I still need to pack my things."
"Okay. I'll just use my motorcycle to pick you up. Hurry up and pack your things," she says, sounding eager to drink lots of beer.
"I will. Bye," I say as I hang up the call.
I hail a cab to take me home. It's not payday yet, but since I have a stable job for the next five years, I want to spend the money I earned from my previous job. And for once in a while, I want to treat Rosalie as a thank you and to comfort her since I know her boyfriend cheated on her. That's what friendship is all about. After the hellos, there are always goodbyes, and after the goodbyes, we say hi to someone new.
My phone rings again, and I immediately answer it. "Don't worry, we will go to the bar later so you can drown your sorrows in alcohol," I say, expecting it to be Rosalie.
"You're going to a bar?" A cold baritone voice rang on my ear, making me stiffened.
THIRD PERSON'S POV Yves cleared his throat and glared back at Rosalie who was tightly clinging on Xyneth. Xyneth let out a sigh as she drank her champagne, not morning the two of them. Rosalie sat beside her while Yves was on the opposite side of them which made the position facing at each other while the table was between them. It wasn't until Xyneth couldn't take it anymore. "Rosalie, why do you always glare at him? He is now my boss, you know."Xyneth said making Rosalie dropped her jaw while her eyes was widened to shock. She looked at Xyneth who keeps on drinking Champagne, "Damn. What?!" She smiled at her, "Yes. I am the babysitter of his child, tho I still hasn't seen his child but I would seen him tomorrow when I'll start working as their babysitter." "What the f*ck?! How does this happened?!"She said loudly before she looked at Yves who was calmly drank the Tequila, "You did this on purpose for you to flirt with my best friend, right—Ah... you have a son already, I'm s
XYNETH'S POV I was already at the Emperial's Mansion, exactly at 4:00 in the morning. Thank goodness Yves had registered my fingerprint to open the door and gate, or else I would have spent the early morning outside the house. As I entered, the house was quiet, and I noticed a note stuck on the refrigerator. I read the words: "I have something to do today, please take good care of my son. I'll be back at six. Choose any room you prefer." That was the note Yves left. Following Yves' instructions, I looked at the rooms. I went up the stairs to the second floor and saw seven rooms with different colored doors. I chose the sky blue door, which thankfully wasn't locked. I looked around the room, which had a sky blue theme and a queen-size bed. I placed my luggage on the bed and opened it to unpack my clothes into the closet. I placed my laptop, phone, and notepad on the table, while other belongings were placed on another table. I hung my clothes in the closet and arranged my shoes an
XYNETH'S POV I kept glancing at Yves, watching as he observed his son eating. He must be feeling a mix of worry and relief now that Xavy was starting to eat his meals properly. What a good father he is... and I'm sorry for doubting you, Yves. I can't apologize to you directly, but I'll apologize in my mind. Xavy stopped eating and looked at his father. "Do you want to eat, Papa?" Yves smiled and nodded. "Yes, I would like to." I was stunned when he suddenly smiled. My heart skipped a beat as I saw how beautiful he looked when he smiled, especially with his eyes sparkling. He truly loves his son. The way their eyes sparkled was so beautiful that it made my heart tighten a bit. Xavy raised his head and looked up at me while still sitting on my lap. "Do you want to eat too?" I smiled in response to his question. "Yes, but I'm afraid I'm already full. Remember, you fed me earlier?" He nodded and then glanced at his father, who was busy serving food onto his plate. Xavy looked at
XYNETH'S POV "You're sleepy, right? Let's go to sleep," I said, but he shook his head. "I won't..." "But you just said earlier that you were sleepy, right? So let's go to your room and let's sleep," I softly said to him while he was still clinging onto me, and Yves was just staring at us doing nothing. The two maids were busy cleaning the table. "I'm sleepy, but I won't sleep," he insisted, making me sigh. "And why is that? It's already late at night, and you have to sleep so that you will grow fast," I told him, but he just pouted and kept insisting not to. "Can you tell me why you won't go to sleep, dear cutie?" I said sweetly to him, making him grin cheekily, but then his face suddenly turned sad. "Because I'm afraid that this might be a dream created in my mind. I'm afraid to wake up feeling empty, and I'm afraid to wake up without you," he sadly said. I couldn't help but pinch his cute, adorable cheeks. "Silly. Where did you learn to be so sweet? Don't worry, I won't go a
XYNETH'S POV I was huffing, catching my own breath as I ran hard. I didn't know where I was. All I could see was a dark, abandoned building. I didn't know why I was there. I ran as fast as I could, but it was no use. I heard growling noises, the sound of falling leaves being blown by the wind. My heart was beating so fast, and I could feel my legs shaking. I wanted to give up. In any minute, my legs could turn into jelly from nervousness and fear. My legs were trembling, and so was my whole body. My eyes started to water because of the darkness. I was scared of the darkness because I felt like someone might be watching over me. "H-Hello? W-Who are you? W-Why are you doing this?" I didn't know what came to my mind when I uttered those words. It felt natural when I spoke them. Where am I? Why am I here? Where is Yves, and where is Xavy? I clenched my fists to calm my nerves, but I was still shaking. I didn't know why I felt like this. I was startled when someone grabbed my hand.

CHAPTER 10I LOST count on how many times I slapped my forehead, I can feel that it's swollen because of it. It's because of these two, they won't get off the bed unless I kiss Yves."Xavy, get down and let's eat food I'm already hungry, I'm sure you feel the same way."I told him but he shook his head while he crossed his arm."I don't want to. Kiss Papa first."He said.He's so persistent."So? Why would you like me to kiss your father? Aren't you jealous that I might kiss him again and again and forget about you?"I raised my eyebrow while talking to him making him stilled.He silently climbed off the bed and stand near to me makes me chuckled.I looked at Yves who's already pouting but I just rolled my eyes on him."Let's go, I'm already hungry."I said to him but when I try to walk, I can't feel him following me.He's just standing, sadly looking at his father, I can't help but to sighed."Fine, fine, fine.

CHAPTER 11"WHAT?! HE CHEATED ON YOU?!" I exclaimed when she was talking about her ex who just cheated on her with a guy."Yeah, I didn't know that he has another guy, I just found them making out of my room and the man was just happened to be my bestfriend."She said while sipping a cup of coffee.Actually Yves was on a meeting while Xavy was watching netflix on the living room that's why we both have time for the two of us."So what happened when you found out that your boyfriend was making out with your bestfriend and on top of that, it is a guy that he's been secretly dating ? I mean, did you slapped both of them?"I asked but she just smiled and giggled."Ofcourse not. I just happy for them, if it was a girl who's he's been cheating and making love with then I might kill both of them but thankfully it was a guy."She happily said making me also laughed."Wow. What about your bestfriend? What's he's reaction?"I asked."Well, nothing much he
