Chapter 3 All in one package.

After the party ended, Daniela and Lara took a cab back home. 

“How did it go?” Lara asked, noticing the excitement on her face. 

“I got a job offer.” Daniela replied, her face beaming with smiles. 

“That's great. Let's check it out.” 

Daniela pulled out her laptop and switched it on. She tapped on the offer and read through it. 

“Looks good.” Lara commented after reading the offer. “Who's the client?” 

“Killian GFN. That's all it says here.” 

Lara paused. “GFN?” She asked, her voice trailing off.

“Yes. GFN. Is anything wrong?” Daniela asked, turning to Lara.

“Daniela, that’s Killian Grafton. People don’t even whisper his name…and you’re about to nanny his child?” 

The excitement on Daniela's face faded. “Is he a bad person?”

“Rumor says he has blood on his hands. He has killed people, Daniela. And he's a mafia.”

Daniela looked at her screen. The ‘Accept Offer’ button was glaring at her. “What should I do? I really need this job.” 

Lara sighed.

“Him being an Ex-mafia doesn't have anything to do with me. I'm just going to take care of his child. And I'll try my best to stay away from him.” 

Lara's face was now covered with guilt. “Daniela, if I told you I did something to your resume, will you kill me?” 

Daniela's looked at her with wide eyes. “What did you do?” 

Lara stood up slowly and gestured for her to check her resume. She ran to the window and hid herself behind the curtains. 

Daniela's hands flew over her keyboard. She opened her resume and all the color on her face drained off when she saw the profile picture was no longer the nerdy white background photo she had uploaded. Instead, it was that white lacy bikini, seductive shot she took during their last vacation to the beach.

Lara peeked out from behind the curtains. “You might want to check the Applying For section.” 

Daniela quickly scrolled down to the section where she wrote what she was applying for. Her body froze.

Applying For:

Nanny.

Wife.

Personal chef.

Secretary.

Personal assistant.

Housekeeper.

Companion.

Moral supporter.

Heir-producer.

Bodyguard.

All-in-one package.

“Wife? Heir producer? Are you out of your mind?” Daniela shouted. 

Lara hid behind the curtains. “I'm sorry. I was just trying to make sure you secure a job. I didn't know Killian would be the client. I'm so sorry Daniela.” 

Daniela slapped her forehead. Her resume had already been reviewed and now she was expected to show up tomorrow. Just great. 

She looked at the window and saw Lara peeking at her. 

She couldn't stay mad at her. She had good intentions. “It's ok. You can come out. Now I just have to figure out what to do.” 

Lara came out and sat beside her. 

“Like you said, you're just going to take care of his child. You have nothing to worry about, as far as you don't get entangled with him, or the other way round.” 

Daniela laughed. “I don't plan on getting entangled with him. I only plan to earn some money and get back my dad's company.” 

“That's the spirit. So, after all, there really isn't any danger in working for him.”

Daniela nodded, feeling a bit relieved. “It says here a car would come pick me up tomorrow. What am I going to wear?” She asked, turning to Lara.

Lara smiled and tapped her chest. “Leave that to me.” She walked over to Daniela's wardrobe and began her search. 

Daniela was excited. She finally landed a job after one whole year of being jobless. Now she could save up money and get back her late father's clothing company from her greedy uncle. 

The clothing company was the only thing her dad's money-blinded shareholders couldn't take from her. And yet, in a moment of desperation, she gave the ownership documents to her uncle so he could sell the company and give her the money, but that was the last day he ever answered her calls. 

He ran away with the documents and claimed the company as his own. She vowed to get it back, and she would. Just that it would take time. 

She needs to be very hardworking in this new job. Hopefully this time, she won't get fired. 

Daniela exhaled sharply. She looked forward to meeting the child she'd be taking care of. The job offer stated that it was a 4 year old boy. She hoped he'll be easy to get along with. 

Although something bothered her. What if she messed up? What would he think of her after seeing her resume? Could that be the reason why she got the offer? Would he be expecting her to do everything Lara had listed in her resume?

She certainly can't do that. She'll explain everything to him when they meet. Hopefully he'll understand.

The next day, Daniela got dressed and waited for the car to arrive. She wore a decent dress and low heels. 

Lara fixed her hair in front of the mirror. 

“A 4 year old should be easy to handle, right?” Lara asked as she packed Daniela's hair with a hair band. 

Daniela nodded. “I've handled older children, a 4 year old won't be hard for me.” She replied. 

“You're going to be a great nanny. When you come back tonight, we'll celebrate with some friends.” 

Daniela smiled. “Ok.” 

A car honked outside. 

“That must be the driver.”

Killian set the spatula aside then took off his apron. He moved the plates in front of him to the dinning table where the four brothers were seated with their hands crossed above their chest. 

“Eat.” He commanded. 

They turned their faces away. 

Killian's jaw twitched. “You want to start with this attitude of yours again?”

Matteo picked up his writing tab and wrote on it.

WE WANT TO SEE MUMMY!

Killian frowned. “I told you I'm employing a nanny, not a mummy. Since you've decided to be naughty, that's your punishment.” 

Matteo continued writing. 

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT EMPLOYING A NANNY. WE ALREADY FOUND A MUMMY FOR OURSELVES. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BRING HER HERE!

This got Killian confused. 

Alessio reached into his uniform pocket and pulled out a small plush puppy. 

SHE GAVE THIS TO ME AND PROMISED TO SEE ME AGAIN. I WANT HER AS MY MUMMY.

Killian stretched out his hand. “Give it to me.” He said but Alessio hid it behind himself. 

Just then, Wilson walked in. “Boss, the nanny's here.” 

Killian nodded then slipped on his suit jacket. He buttoned his suit then turned to Wilson. “Take them to school, and get them something to eat on the way. Tell Julian to send her to my office. I'll be waiting there.” 

Wilson nodded then Killian disappeared into the elevator. He left to deliver the message to Julian.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO? DADDY REALLY EMPLOYED A NANNY.— Rocco.

I'M UPSET— Alessio.

WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH A PLAN. WE CAN'T LET ANOTHER WOMAN TAKE MUMMY'S PLACE— Leo.

YOU'RE RIGHT. WHEN WE RETURN, WE'LL COME UP WITH A PLAN. FOR NOW, WE HAVE TO SHOW DADDY WE DON'T LIKE THE NANNY HE EMPLOYED— Matteo.

They all nodded in agreement. 

By the time Wilson returned, they had already cleared the food on their plates. They slipped on their schoolbags then took the elevator downstairs.

Daniela arranged her hair before stepping out of the car. She was welcomed in by a young handsome man who introduced himself as Julian. 

“You must be Mrs. Daniela.” He said with his hand stretched out for a handshake.

“Yes, I am.” Daniela shook his hand. “Thanks for having me here.” She added.

“You're welcome. Please come in.” 

As Daniela followed him in, she caught sight of a small figure entering a car not far from the one she came in. That must be the child she'd be taking care of. 

She couldn't see the child's face. The bodyguards blocked her view. 

When she entered the living room, “Wow!”, that was the first thing that escaped her lips. 

Black and white interior design. The living room was vast and opulent. Thick black curtains hung above the floor to ceiling windows. The living room was so wide, it could be used as a hall for an event. 

“Mrs. Daniela, this way please.” Julian called out as the elevator door slid open. 

Daniela followed him in. They got to a particular floor and the door slid open. 

Julian walked out. Daniela glanced around as she followed him. She saw some maids watering the plants beside the doors. 

“This is it. Please go in. The boss is waiting for you.” Julian said as he pushed the door open. 

Daniela thanked him then walked in.
