“I'm sorry, Miss. But I'm actually the one who got hurt, not you”. With that, Valerie got up and glared at her. She was so furious that the woman was being rude. The woman was the one who bumped into her, so why the hell was she angry and even yelling at her, since she was burnt?Snorting in disgust, the lady tapped her on the shoulder. “You peasant! What gave you the right to talk back at me? I'm sure you're just a new servant around here, you swine”.Valerie's arm was already sore and reddened. The pain she felt was unbearable, and talking to the rude lady was the least of the things she wanted. She packed up the vacuum flask on the ground. “I'll clean this up”.“Hey! How dare you walk out on me?” The lady grabbed her arm, and Valerie winced in pains. It was the same arm that the hot soup had poured on.“REBECCA!” A childish, but tiny voice screamed from the front door. The lady quickly freed Valerie, who groaned in pain.Rebecca, the rude lady, smiled dryly as little Audrey walked
“Damn—”Rebecca kicked the table in annoyance. The thought of what she just saw made her even angrier. “Is that girl really just a nanny? What kind of nanny gets carried by her boss to bed? I hope she's not going to become a thorn in my flesh”.With that, she grabbed the bottle of dry gin on the table and gulped it down again and again. She wasn't going to let anyone take him away from her. She didn't come all the way from Washington to watch a mere nanny take Ethan away from her. Hell no!If there was anything that she so much wanted, that would be to get the freaking nanny out of the house. Then, Ethan's words rang in her ears.“Lastly, if you really want to get on Audrey's good side, I'll advise you to be nice to her nanny” Meanwhile, at Justin's apartment, Patricia was sulking bitterly. Justin, who was sitting opposite her, was sipping the tea in front of him, not minding the fact that she was crying.Patricia kept whimpering, and sniffles hard before turning to Justin who seems
“Sir?”Valerie's jaw dropped in shock. Maybe she has a poor hearing problem, if not, why would the President care if she's feeling better or not.The President shook his head, and walked towards her. Her heart was racing fast as his pace increased. This should be a dream. Rebecca, on the other hand, kept glaring at her. If the eyes had bullets, she would have shot her dead that instant.“Ethan, why do you care? I mean, she's getting the appropriate medication. Let's just go upstairs, I'm sure you're tired, and needs to rest” Rebecca snapped, and Ethan halted.“Yeah right. This is partly your fault. And she's my worker, who is taking care of my daughter. You don't expect me to leave my child in the care of a wounded woman, do you?” The President countered expressionlessly.The President got close to her, and took her hand. He glanced at her scald arm, and nodded calmly. Valerie felt her heart racing. Was she scared? What exactly was making her heart race? Was it because the President w
“Get your f****d up ass out of my way”Rebecca pushed the servant who was standing right beside her away. Anger engulfed her. The thought that Ethan chose a mere nanny over her made her go crazy.She had always wanted Ethan for herself, but she never imagined she would fight over him with someone as lowly as a nanny. He even turned down her offer of him following her to the party.Immediately she stepped outside the mansion, she walked straight to the car. The Lamborghini's door was already opened. She hopped into the car, and the driver drove off immediately. “That god-damned nanny! I can't believe you, Ethan. You actually sided with a nanny instead of me. This is really getting out of hand” Rebecca lamented.No matter what, she must get that nanny out of Davison's villa.“That peasant will never be the reason I'll lose Ethan. I'm too close to go back. I have to take back what's mine. Watch your back, damn Valerie Watson”.Meanwhile, at Justin's apartment, he was seated in the sitti
“Me?”Valerie stared at him with fear written all over her face. The President raised a brow at her, and scoffed dryly.“Yes, you” Upon hearing him, Valerie choked. After coughing helplessly for a few seconds, she replied. “You… Do you want to eat me? I… I really don't understand…” “Are you silly? Why the hell would I want to eat you when you're not consumable?” Ethan snorted at her, and she swallowed hard. Probably, she was relieved to hear him say that.“I'm… I apologize for the misunderstanding, Sir. Actually, I shouldn't have” Valerie forced a smile at him.President Ethan glared at her, and turned his gaze away. “You just asked me who I would like to cook, and I said it was you who I wanted to cook for me. You're so indecent”.“Sorry”“Listen, I'm giving an hour to prepare for this. I know an hour is too much, but that's because I just want to fair to you, since you're not the cook. Beef stew and mashed potatoes” The President snapped, and turned to the laptop on the table. Va
“Sir?”Valerie raised her brows, confused. Why would the President ask her who she was conversing with over the phone? Is that part of her work in the mansion? Should he invade her privacy? Plenty of thoughts kept running through her mind.Ethan shook his head, and scoffed. “I just asked you who it was you were speaking with”.“Uhm… it's a friend of mine” Valerie managed to say. Ethan turned his gaze at her immediately. It was obvious he was in doubt. His facial expression showed it all.“A friend? A friend that you miss so much, isn't that too much for a friend?” The President smiled dryly, and she turned her gaze away.After a few minutes of silence between them, Valerie broke the silence. “I'll retire to bed, Sir. I'm glad you liked the food”.With that, she walked out of the bedroom and shut the door behind. Heaving a sigh of relief, she headed towards the servant's quarters. Then she thought of Nicole again, and giggled.She met Nicole the moment she arrived at Northridge. She wa
Rebecca sat heavily on the couch, and the elderly lady who was dressed in expensive attire sat next to her. “Aunt, I really don't understand Ethan. He told me straight to my face that he chose that girl over me”.“What? I thought you said she was just a nanny. Why would my son be attracted to a nanny?” Lady Davison snapped.“Yes, she is. What I don't understand is why he will select a worker over me, Aunt. I can't take it anymore”.Lady Davison quickly jerked up from the couch. “You have nothing to worry about, Becca. As far as I'm concerned, you are the only one who is defeating to be Ethan's wife. I don't care what he thinks about that worker. What matters is that you're the one I pick”.“But aunt, you really can't force him” Rebecca cried out.Lady Davison turned sharply to her. “Don't tell me you're giving him up because of a worker? That's not possible, is it?”“No way! Even if I should give up for anybody, it shouldn't be a lowly maid. He can't replace me with such a person”.“G
Sitting opposite Ethan and beside Nicole, Valerie kept toying with the plate of pasta with her cutlery. She was too nervous to eat. I mean, who wouldn't be when she's sitting with her boss, who couldn't stop stealing glances at her. Likewise, she felt like she was going to choke each time she tried to eat. Nicole noticed how she was toying with the food. “Hey, Val. What the heck is wrong with you? Why aren't you eating?”Valerie turned to him swiftly, smiling nervously. “Toying with the food? Of course not. I'm eating”.“Valerie, how dare you think of lying to me? Have you forgotten that I know you even more than you know yourself? Is there anything bothering you? You can tell me, doll” Nicole patted her hair, and Ethan glared at Nicole. If the eyes were a gun, he would have shot Nicole dead with his eyes.Valerie saw how Ethan stared at Nicole. She slapped Nicole's hand, and rolled her eyes. “What's wrong with you, Nick? Don't you have a jet lag? You should go home”.Without hesitati
