Congratulations 

“Daddy?” Ava called after contemplating whether or not she should tell her father about the pretty lady she encountered yesterday.

Lucas, who was almost through with braiding his daughter's hair, as he got her ready for school, suddenly heard her call him in a sophisticated manner.

He reached out for a band on her dressing table and tied it below her braided hair. After doing so, he carried a spray gel and used it on her hair.

As a wealthy businessman and from one of the most outstanding families in New York, Lucas was never trained to do domestic works such as this. However after the death of his Fiancee he had to learn everything in order to be a better father.

“Daddy?” Ava called again and this time he responded in a low voice.

“What is it sweetie?”

Having heard her father's reply, Ava turned to him wearing a huge smile on her face as she spoke “Daddy, yesterday I met a very pretty woman. Her name was Sophia and I like her a lot, it would be nice to find a nanny like her don't you think?” 

Lucas was dumbstruck by his daughter's words. This was actually the first time he had heard her talking about a woman and somehow he felt pleased.

Unable to hide his smile, Lucas caressed her cheek slowly as he spoke “So you like her? Do you want her to become your nanny?” 

A glint of excitement took over Ava's face and she couldn't help but exclaim “Really? Daddy you will really make her my nanny if that's what I want?” 

Lucsn simply stared at her as he couldn't bring himself to answer her when the answer was right in front of her. He knew she was excited and within him felt really great.

*Emily can you see? I made our daughter happy. I have never seen her this excited before* 

Chuckling at his inner thoughts, Lucas carried his daughter's bag and held her hand tightly before walking down the stairs together. There, they came across Adam, Lucas' personal assistant and driver as he stood in front of the stairs.

Having to see Adam standing in front of his stairs, awaiting them both only meant one thing and that is there is a meeting he needed to attend in thirty minutes.

“Mr Adam!” Ava yelled as she withdrew her grip from her father's hand and ran to her father's assistant hugging his thighs. 

“Oh Ava!” Adam sounded rather surprised. This was not the first time she had hugged him but whenever she did, it would take him by surprise.

Just then Lucas was already standing in front of him. He could have sworn that he had glimpsed a slight hint of amusement flashing through his emotionless orbs.

However, it was gone as fast as it had come, leaving Adam to wonder if he had actually imagined it or not. 

“Mr Logan you have a minute in less than thirty minutes.” Adam regained his composure and announced. Meanwhile, Lucas simply hummed since he had guessed right. 

Holding Ava's hand again, they both walked out of his villa with Adam trailing behind them. In a few seconds they got to the garage and entered a black bentley.

It didn't take up to fifteen minutes, when they arrived in front of Ava's school. Shortly a teacher came right on time and paid her respect to Lucas before taking Ava.

Everyone knew Logan's family. Having not known the Logan's family only meant that you are not from planet earth. They were the most influential family in New York and often regarded as the most feared family too.

And Lucas was actually making it seem to be true with his arrogant and strict personality making everyone around him tremble in fear, except his daughter of course.

“Adam?” Lucas called in a hoarse voice, his eyes still fixated on his daughter's back as he spoke “Find out from the secretary in charge of the interview for a nanny and see if there is a person named Sophia,” 

Adam upon hearing this, turned to Lucas and bowed as he replied “Understood Mr Logan!”

Early next morning. 

When Sophia woke up, the bed was empty. Cleaning her eyes, she walked to the kitchen and there she saw Stephen cooking as he talked with their mother.

Upon seeing his sister walking straight to the kitchen, Stephen couldn't help but voice out with a smile. “Good morning Sophia.” 

“Morning big head.” Sophia chuckled.

Having heard Sophia's melodious voice, Mrs Owen Sophia's mother stretched out her hand to get hold of Sophia. Upon seeing her mother's arms wide open, Sophia rushed to her and gave her a tight hug.

“Sophia are you ok? How was the interview? Did you get the job?” her mother asked, rushing her words.

Getting seated, Sophia took the seat close to her mother and caressed her hands softly as she spoke in a calm voice “I wasn't able to make it mom” 

Hearing such from her daughter, Mrs Owen countenance fell but before she could say a word, Sophia let out a smile and continued “But I applied for a new job and I know that I'm going to get it.”

Letting out a smile, Mrs Owen patted her hands “That is good then. You will surely get it darling, I know you will” 

After spending a little time with her family, Sophia dressed up nicely and left for the interview at LL electronics. Reaching there, the entrance was more complicated than it was yesterday.

Sophia entered the elevator and in no time she had already arrived at the floor the interview was going to take place. 

Reaching the floor, Sophia swallowed hard as she almost screamed at the number of females that were there in front of the interview room. In addition to that, they had even created a queue due to the number of people and Sophia didn't hesitate to stand at the last person's back.

Just then an interviewer left the room for the interview and stood in front of the unemployed females as he announced “Is there someone right here whose name is Sophia Owen?” 

Shortly whispers among the crowd could be heard but before the interviewer could speak up again, Sophia raised her hand in signification.

“I'm here” breathing heavily she replied “I'm Sophia Owen.” She stepped out from the crowd and approached the young man.

Scrutinizing Sophia from head to toe, the young man smiled in satisfaction before he turned to the crowd. “The interview has come to an end. We have found the person we are looking for.” he then turned to Sophia again “Congratulations Sophia Owen, you have gotten the job” 

“Eh!” Sophia couldn't stop herself from screaming.
