“No, please let me stay. I can't just go home,” Bianca begged shamelessly on her knees, desperation for the job was written all over her face. “Please, my place is very distant and I would go homeless if you send me away,” she let out, crouching on her knees.
Felix's dark eyes glared down at her. His cheeks were burning, he hadn't seen anybody that could act this way for a job after a long time of not employing any maid for his household! Bianca moved further before grabbing his legs. Felix tried not to be affected by the way she was clasping his leg but it was ludicrous. He noticed that some tears were already finding their way out of her eyes. He didn't want her to cry in front of him. He hated it when someone had to tear up in front of him because it meant he was the cause of such an action. He closed his eyes before gritting his teeth together, Felix tried to keep his face void and not get twisted by her emotions. He wouldn't deny the fact that she was pretty even if she was on the verge of tears. And he knew that she was dangerous, very dangerous. “I understand you miss Ferguson but could you stop what you___” he tried to say but was cut shut by the ringing of his phone. He brought out his phone in frustration and relief, he swiped the answer button the instant he noticed that she was going to speak up again. He kept a finger to his lips. He was telling her to keep shut while he answered his call, he moved to the end of the room to speak to the person on the other line. He turned to notice Bianca adjusting the bow tie on Anna's hair, Felix tried hard to fight back a smile. He released a huge sigh before he could find his voice again. “I don't know mom but you shouldn't have done this!” he answered before he stared at Bianca who was busy doing some funny face gestures at his daughter who kept chuckling, he wiggled his head at her reaction. The instant he dropped his phone, there was another call from his office. Felix didn't want to pick up, he kept his phone on silent before fixing his phone back to his pocket. He examined Bianca for a while before speaking. “Okay, I would give you a chance here Bianca,” he unleashes out, making Anna cheer with a smile. “Don't thank me for letting you stay, it just seems Anna likes your company, ” he said, making his daughter move towards him before hugging him. “Th____ ” Bianca was going to say but he cut her short. “Don't thank me, just do your job,” he let out as Bianca nodded in affirmation with her eyes staring at him with joy, she didn't know how to thank him enough for accepting her into his home. “You know about my daughter's condition of being Traumatized? She can't speak for now because she has been in shock for a while. I hope you don't stress her and do your job, I would be off to work, we would discuss more when I get back home!” he let out, making Bianca nod.“Miss Ferguson?” he called, making her raise an eyebrow. “The salary is the same as the one on the poster, you just have to do your part of the job well. I would draw up a contract later and before I forget both parties have a right to end the contract at any time!” he said again, making Bianca blink her eyes and nod like a mannequin. “Just follow me, I have no time to waste, ” Felix said, holding his daughter‘s hand. Bianca was a little terrified by the way her new boss was acting. She didn't know whether she should be happy or sad, she was happy that his mother had called and talked some sense into him. She couldn't imagine herself wandering around in the gigantic pack which was distant from where she was coming from. She didn't stay in the city and it took her the courage to leave her home in search of a job on the city side of the pack. “Miss Ferguson?” her boss called again. She shrieked. She quickly grabbed her pink suitcase before following her new boss, she hurried up to catch his pace because he was walking very fast. He turned to glare at her but wiggled his head without saying a word. She kept counting the twists and turns they had taken. Bianca tried to understand the huge house but it turned out she was pretty confused. If she was to do her job well, she should be fast in understanding every nook and cranny of the big house. For now, she was enjoying every view of the house. Her eyes were amazed by the highly decorated home, Felix Finn was a businessman known in the news and on all front pages of the magazine. She didn't know he had time to put his huge house in order. The thick carpet and the artwork used to decorate the house were beautiful, “Miss Ferguson, I would introduce you to Nanny Mia when she is back from her trip.” Felix said and she nodded at the way his personality can switch at any time. “You would later learn that I hate people who don't listen, I love it when you stick by my rules because I'm not a forgiving person, I hope you stick to my rules, ” With that, he opened a door allowing her to step inside before him. Bianca sighed before entering the room, she was shocked at the dirty environment she was standing in. Bianca closed her eyes and opened them again just to be sure she wasn't hallucinating. The kitchen was big and had all items needed but why was it this messy? There were used plates and flour everywhere. She moved further to notice stains of food and crushed egg littering just everywhere.She looked up at the ceiling and walls to notice peels of pancakes and pasta everywhere. Felix moved into the kitchen before standing behind Bianca, his body was so close to her that she could inhale and exhale his fragrance whacking her nose. “Your job here has just started!” he whispered coldly close to her ear before leaving with his daughter.This wasn't how Bianca had expected to find the situation like! The instant the door shut down, Bianca couldn't help but let out a frustrated groan. The door swung open again making Bianca hitch her breath, she thought it was her boss but an old woman with white hair walked inside holding her Luggage with Anna gripping her hand tightly.The woman kept panting to catch her breath, Bianca didn't blame her because the stairs in the house were the main cause of her tiredness. She took a few moments before raising her hand to indicate that she needed water, Bianca was confused as to where the tap was or where the cup was as she kept surveying everywhere agitatedly.After a lot of twists and turns, she finally brought the old lady a cup of water. The old lady grabbed the cup of water before gulping it down her throat. She smiled at Bianca the moment she was alright.“Oh, dear!” The old lady mumbled as Bianca held the old lady by the hand to help her sit on a chair.“Thank you!” Ms. Kevin le
“That's the extra room for guests,” Ms. Kevin let out as she trudged up the stairs carefully. “What about that room?” Bianca asked as they passed close to a grey door. “Uhmm, that Felix room, he doesn't like people going inside his room especially the workers around!” Ms.Kevin explained, earning a simple nod from Bianca.Ms. Kevin swiveled before giving Bianca a wide smile that displayed at the corner of her lips. “That would be all. I would give Anna a bath,” she mumbled, attempting to go downstairs to get Anna but Bianca stopped her. “You need a break from working, you just got back and you have already cleaned the kitchen, I would like to take care of Anna's bathing!” Bianca muttered out, making Mia smile. “You know what? It's not a problem because I'm used to doing all these chores!” Mia insisted. “What is my work here if I don't help out Nanny, I insist, you just take a rest!” Bianca said, ushering Ms. Kevin to her room. “Anna? Baby?” Bianca called, making the little girl turn
Bianca felt as if the world had just stopped at that point in time. Panic welled all through her body! Her eyes searched the whole room, she soon kept opening the wardrobe and cupboard just in case the little girl was hiding around. She moved close to the window and to her relief she noticed Anna sauntering towards the gate. She was already dressed in a pink gown and a flowery ribbon as she clutched on her little doll. Anna couldn't afford to be sacked on the first day of her job. She had been in charge of the little girl just a few minutes ago and now she was already losing Anna from her sight. She ran downstairs as Ms. Kevin emerged from behind. “Anna?” Bianca called, moving to hug her tightly. “Where do you think you are going to go? I mean the world outside is dangerous, baby!” Bianca muttered to the girl who kept describing things with her hand. “She wants to go to the hospital to see her mother,” Ms. Kevin explained, making Bianca clasps Anna's tiny hands into her huge ones.
Felix shoved the table backward as his chair slid close to the window. He spun his chair playfully until he was facing the window view, he stared at the beautiful and busy streets of New york. He noticed some beggars trying to earn a decent living without trying to steal. The sky looked a bit dark and cloudy like it would rain anytime soon. He turned back to his desk before looking at all the workload he had, he had worked hard for his company but things weren't going the way he wanted. He felt like he needed to pay for his sins, he was keeping a secret that he hadn't told anybody. Yes! His wife was someone he never expected that she would die soon and that had put him down but something else was weighing him more. He knew he wasn't going to pay for his sins on earth but in the hereafter, he knew he was going to hell. He knew he was never going to be forgiving but would the person he had sinned against forgive him for such a crime he had committed? Getting up from his seat, Felix b
Felix was back from a successful board meeting ever since the death of his wife. It wasn't the best board meeting he had attended but better than the ones he had conducted for two years, he walked to his office to drop off some files when he noticed the envelope His secretary had promised to drop. Growling in both frustration and tiredness. Felix stuck the envelope inside his suitcase before striding to turn off the light, everywhere had gone dark and everyone was going home already. Felix took in some breaths before sauntering into the elevator. It was time to go back home! There was much time to check the envelope to see if Miss Ferguson had any hidden secret. His car was waiting for him in front of his company's building when he stepped out of the existing door. The guard nodded at him which he returned with a simple wave. Felix slipped into the back of his car before sinking into the chair, he was tired and needed some sleep but could he even do that? “Home, please Fabian,” he
Felix entered his room before switching on the light. He stared at his bed as a memory of him coming back home tired and exhausted from work filled his memory. His wife who seems dressed in her skimpy nightwear tends to remove all stress. He ruffled his hair before pulling out his tie. A smile plastered on his face when he remembered his daughter's smiling a while ago, Felix could barely remember the last time he spent time with his kids, just like what he had seen Anna doing with Bianca. Reality hit him hard like he was being punched in the face. His daughter was three years old when everything had happened and his eldest daughter was thirteen, his son was fifteen but it still felt like yesterday when everything happened. Anna had always had bad dreams at night and wouldn't let anybody hold her, she only wanted her mother at that point in time but after a year she had allowed him to hug her again when she had bad nightmares.Felix dropped his briefcase beside his bed before plumpi
The sunlight cast itself on Bianca's face through the curtain which drew her from her sleep, groaning loudly. Her eyes lit up as she stood up before stretching her body. She stared at the floor she was laying on to notice Anna beside her. How did she get here? She pulled the duvet over the sleeping Anna. Bianca tried to remember what she was dreaming about but after thinking deeply she had lost everything after she woke up. This was the first time Bianca was sleeping peacefully without people coming at her for their debt or her landlord disrupting her sleep for their late payment of house rent. The night had been nice. She moved downstairs to notice Felix and Fiona having breakfast, “Good morning sir, ” she mumbled before entering the kitchen to help Ms. Kevin out. “First time, I mean Anna hasn't slept this well for a long time,” Ms. Kevin let out, switching off the cooker. “Morning Nanny but I don't think it's because of me, maybe she had been neglected that's why she felt alone, ”
Bianca stared at Felix before staring back at Anna. “We have a contract to sign today, ” he let out again, making her nod. *********An hour later, Bianca was dressed in a fancy gown with her hair tied in a ponytail and flat shoes to go. It was the first time she was setting foot out of the wealthy home of her boss. She noticed that Felix enjoyed having full security in his house, and most especially privacy. Bianca likes staying with Anna but she wished she had someone to talk to always, not like staying with the five-year-old was boring but she needed someone to share her problems with. She moved outside the huge gate as the breeze slammed her exposed skin. She strode to the main highway so she could board a taxi to take her into town. She stopped the taxi before sliding in, “where to Mam?” the taxi driver asked. “Town,” she mumbled, making him nod before putting the engine to life.Throughout the ride, exhaustion filled Bianca's body. She was meeting her Crush of twenty years,
