บททั้งหมดของ Babysitting The CEO's Daughter : บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Nicole’s POVJust to be sure of what I was getting into, I decided to ask. “Why are you guys doing this?”“What sort of question is that? We were looking out for you, of course.”“Joyce, not that. Actually, Nicole, we’ve been meaning to ask you all this while—what the f*ck happened to you? The Nicole that we know would have given that bastard the beating of his life.”“What? Me?!”“Yes. At least the you before that godforsaken accident,” she dragged a chair and made me sit.“You need to tell us what really happened in those two years that you were absent from college. Were you really recovering from an accident or did something happen?”Did the fact that they haven’t mentioned money yet mean they wanted more than the usual?“Ait guys. I really don’t have much on me. My mom is sick and a lot has been going on since and…”“You also lost your job,” Joyce patted my shoulder.Was that sympathy in her eyes?“How did you know that?”“We’ve been looking for you all around since, and we asked

Nicole“I’m sorry I won’t be going to school with you today,” I opened the door for Loise to get in.“It’s fine, you need the check-up,” I smiled and pulled her into a bear hug. I’d explained over breakfast with the simplest words I could manage and she seemed to understand.“You smell like my dad.” My eyes widened in shock as I pulled up the zip of my hoodie. Maybe she understood too much.“W… why do you say that?” I asked, feeling awkward and sensitive all of a sudden. That question triggered more than a reaction… it triggered a memory of how wild I’d gone yesterday.I still felt like a stripper.“Nothing…” she shrugged and got in the car.I squeezed my eyes to shut the memory. I’d gone to his office to talk and not expose myself and my submissive kinks.“Bye,” I waved as the car drove out.“Are you ready?” Xavier asked as I turned around.I gulped as he looked down on me.He was all suited up.“No, I kind of overslept this morning and haven’t taken my bath yet,” I stuttered.“Okay,

Nicole“Oh my goodness.” I gasped. “Why? How? Did you kill him?” Was that why she called me here? To get me arrested as an accomplice.“Oh come on, I couldn’t hurt a fly,” she dropped her broom and crossed her leg beside me.My scalp tingled from the blatancy of her lie. Her knuckles still had bandages wrapped around them.“Jesus, relax, Nicole. He died from injury complications.”“Wait that’s…”“Let me finish,” she popped a cigarette out of her pocket and placed it on her lips then pocketed her hands.“That bastard actually had a record in jail for assaulting minors and he used to be a 'paldaltic' doctor. Can you imagine how many more people he’d assaulted like that? That bastard!” she cursed, but my mind was still booting from her choice of word.“What’s a pedaltic doctor?” I asked.“You should know. You’re the smart one…” she slapped my back as if surprised by my question while the cigarette bobbed on her lips, unlit, “Those doctors that take care of children in the hospital.”“Wai

Nicole’s POVMonday came fast.Having spent the weekend diligently doing my job and acting like my crush for Xavier had gone poof in the wind was torture. But just like Lily predicted, he showed interest in me in more ways than not.Suggesting to get ice cream because, “Miss Nicole likes it” was the highlight of my weekend and it cheered me up so much that I forgot I was angry about not being his dinner date.Today’s plan: Do my best at the PTA meeting and eat ice cream on our way back. Except I don’t know how to interact with this many people, not with the condescending look on their faces… And I’m not being dramatic!I sighed and avoided Jake when I saw him earlier, but I could tell from the numerous glances he’s been sending my way that he would find a way to talk to me. I just hoped I would be out of here before then.“Now if you parents have any questions, please ask.”A couple of hands shot up and the room became rowdy with people sharing opinions and catching up, but none of the

Nicole’s POVIt’s been two days since the meeting at Loise’s school, and she’s been chattier than ever. My coming to her school seemed to heal something in her, because now she always had fun things to tell me about her days.Jake was still a nuisance, but I was able to ignore him better.However, I’ve been pacing to and fro, restless about how hopeless my own situation feels.Nurse John called about the hospital bills, and although there are only a few days left till the end of the month, I couldn’t think of any feasible way to earn that money except asking Xavier.But he’s been restless as well.“Daddy, what’s wrong?” Loise asked over dinner.Xavier looked to me for what seemed to be approval — probably remembering how I’d scolded him over the weekend for being too dismissive of her questions.I nodded and closed my eyes with a small smile.“Daddy has some issues at work, dear,” he said, brushing her hair almost absentmindedly. I frowned at the gesture.Why would he have issues at wo
