Emily headed downstairs. To her relief Rex hadn't gone into his room yet.

He was in his home office, concentrating on his computer—with the door slightly open.

Most men with high positions in major corporations had home offices—to continue working once they returned home.

As for Rex, it was because he was trying to balance work and parenting. He needed to keep an eye on things, stay close to Drew and still run his empire.

Not wanting to disturb him, Emily was about to turn back when Rex looked up and spotted her through the gap.

“Emily,” he called out. “What is it?”

Emily wavered for a second, then entered the office.

Rex probably thought she came to apologize—maybe even take the card back, now that she'd realized she was wrong for rejecting it, and for walking out on him too.

Clearing her throat, Emily stated, “I came to talk about Drew.”

Rex leaned back slightly in his chair. “What about him?”

“I thought it'd be nice to take him to the park, however, I wanted to confirm if it's fin

    Emily straggled behind Rex. She was unsure of what he wanted to say or which version of him she was about to face.So far, she’d met two sides of the man—the Rex with the attitude and the unctuous Rex who seemed like he was forcing himself to play nice.A few steps away from Drew's room, Rex suddenly stopped and turned to face her.“Let me have your phone,” he ordered, his hands already stretched out.With a raised brow, Emily looked at him. Her phone was her space. Even though she had nothing to hide, it was still off-limits to everyone.“I’m sorry, but may I know why?” Emily inquired serenely.The typical Rex would have flared up by now. But this time, he didn't—not with Drew nearby. “To give you my number,” he replied. “We need to reach one another, so I don't have to call the butler every time I need to be updated about my son.”He had a point. With everything that happened before and after her arrival, the pair had forgotten something as basic as exchanging contacts.Hearing

    What on earth was she doing out here? She was supposed to be home, wasn't she? Especially with Drew due back any minute now.Was a store run more important than that?The issue wasn't about the shopping itself—it was about the timing. The fact that she'd gone off on her own when her priority was his son.Rex wondered if it was because of his indulgence that morning.He shouldn't have let her get too comfortable. This was exactly why he didn't do ‘nice’—people took advantage the moment you showed it.Emily was oblivious to Rex's presence. Subsequent to picking out a few toys, she paid, and hurried out of the store.Upon Emily's return, Drew was already there. The butler had assisted him in changing clothes—now he was having lunch.Although he was just four, Drew was different from other preschoolers.He enjoyed having his own space—though it was often misinterpreted as attitude by his past nannies and even his teachers at school.It barely felt like a kid lived here. In contrast to ot

    The tour had ended and Emily retired back to her room. Glancing at the clock, it was twelve in the afternoon—two hours before Drew was to return.She might as well put the free time to use.Normally, Emily would stay up all night finishing up an article. However, owing to the unplanned move and the exhaustion that came with it—she didn't have time to work.Emily booted up her laptop and navigated the arrow to an article in her drafts.Once it was opened, Emily cracked her knuckles—ready to type, but her fingers hesitated.No words came to her mind.She attempted again, still it was futile. Emily leaned back in her chair, scrunching her eyes tightly and resting her head on her palm.This was the aftereffect of yesterday's chaos. Emily hadn't gotten enough rest, and taking a nap now felt risky—she didn't want to oversleep again.In the process of concentrating, her phone rang. With a groan, she reached for it. It was Ava.“Hey,” Emily grumbled with the phone placed to her ear.“Em, yo

    “Barely arrived and you've already let whoever that was know you're here.” Rex growled right after Emily had ended the call.Prior to this, he had made it clear—nothing about him was to go to the media. The last thing he wanted was to wake up and see his name on gossip blogs.Emily swallowed hard, “That was my younger sister,” she informed him.In spite of that, Rex wasn't wholly comfortable knowing she had informed anyone at all.“You trust her not to run her mouth? Just like she did on that call?” Rex demanded.Recognizing Rex had listened to their conversation, a hint of embarrassment showed on Emily's face.Although Ava had her curiosities, she wasn't one to speak carelessly, not when cautioned.“She knows this isn't supposed to get out. I only told her for my safety.”Emily had no idea that her words hurt Rex's pride.He fell silent for a second before he said, “So you're saying I could harm you? Or that my home isn’t secure enough?” “No, that's not what I meant. It's just norma

    Emily wasn't in the mood for whatever Camilla had to say after that. Rex had instructed Camilla to inform Emily of everything, yet Emily doubted Camilla would comply. Instead of actually helping, she'd act like she was doing Emily a favor, sharing only bits of information. Agitated, Emily grabbed her bag and left the office. She had planned to meet Carol again. This time, it wasn't to plead, but to let her know what she had just signed up for. It wasn't long before Emily got off to her stop. Thank goodness, Carol was available today. After knocking twice on the door to Carol's office, she pushed open and got in. Carol was sipping on a cup of coffee when Emily came in. “Look, if you're here to make me change my mind, I–” “I'll be working as a full-time nanny for Rex's son.” The words rushed out of Emily's mouth. Carol nearly spilled her coffee as she roared, “You'll be what? Have you gone nuts? Instinctively, Carol stood up. “You had one job, one freaking job. Instead, you c
