Semua Bab The Billionaire’s Nanny: Bab 11 - Bab 20

“Maybe the reason you haven’t gotten to live the life of your dreams is because you aren’t ready yet.”….~ Alyssa ~I walked out of the firm, confused and unsure about what I was to think or imagine. Should I be prepared for a rejection? Or hope I get accepted to get the job? My stomach growled as I walked beside one of my favorite cafès. The decision to walk in or not was a battle I was used to… but this time, I decided to cut myself some slack. If I had to go job hunting tomorrow morning, then at least… I deserved a decent breakfast today. I walked in and was immediately greeted by my favorite waiter, Peter. “Hey, latest graduate.”He grinned, closing the distance between us and embracing me.“Hey, hey… Master’s degree holder.”He chuckled at the mention. Peter might look like any other waiter in the cafè, but he was far from different. Not only was he the only one in his family who went to university… he was also a soon-to-be master’s degree holder. All this he did while kee

“It’s never too late to have a new beginning, so start now.”….~ Alyssa ~Mr Hook’s sudden appearance caused me to straighten. I didn’t know why… but he had a commanding presence, which I couldn’t help but be intimidated by. I was about to move forward towards him, but his daughter.. Keren held onto my legs. I have always known I was good with kids, as I have been told several times over the years. But never would I have thought that Keren Hook would be attached to me on our very first meeting. Somehow, Chef Lydia, as her name tag read. But wait, what’s up with name tags and Mr Hook? Is that a glaring sign of professionalism or what? I honestly don’t get it. Then, I walked with him to his study, which, just like his office, blew me away with its appearance. But I hadn’t gotten the time to immerse myself in descriptions when he spoke up and handed the contract to me. On the first page, it had the words, “Temporary Nanny.” Staring back at me. It probably should make me feel

“Learn to live in the moment and not in a forgone past or distant future.”….~ Alyssa ~Just when I began to wonder what I’d do next before Keren headed to bed. She grabbed my hands right after dinner and pulled me upstairs to her room. After which, she opened her wardrobe and I carefully picked out a light blue soft pajamas for her. We both walked to the bathroom where she brushed her teeth and took a warm shower, before changing into her pajamas. She pointed at her skin care kit, and carefully… I helped her apply a moisturizer.Again, I found myself wondering what she did before bed when, she showed me her iPad and I watched as she played “Talking angela” with so much excitement that for a moment. I forgot about her special abilities and simply watched her quietly. The clock struck 9 pm, and I knew it was time for her bed, so I tucked her in and read her a bedtime story till she fell asleep. I laid a peck on her forehead before turning off the main lights, but left on the

“Let your why be what gets you out of bed in the morning.”….~ Alyssa ~The morning passed in a blur as I watched Keren play her favorite game on her iPad. All the while, I wondered if there was more I could do for her. Yes, I am meant to be homeschooling her for the month. But how?I’d just gone to the kitchen for a glass of water when Lydia almost startled me with her presence.“Hey, Aly!” I turned to face her, holding my chest. “You startled me.”“Well, I’m sorry.” She grinned in a way that reminded me of my Mom. But that’s impossible. I don’t have a mother.“It’s okay.”“So you are here for?”“A glass of water,” I replied, raising the half-filled cup. “Oh… okay.” She moved and sat on a high stool opposite me. “So how’s Keren?”“She’s okay. ” I replied, before saying. “I still have no idea how to go about this.”“Feeling intimidated?”“I am.”“Don’t be.” She said, “Please take a seat.” I nodded, gulping the rest of the water in the glass and taking a seat on a high stool beside

“On days when you feel like you are not growing, I hope you remember that most of growth is purely invisible.”….~ Alyssa ~Chef Lydia had her reservations when I told her my plan of taking Keren outside to play with the soil. But she gave me a go-ahead. Saying, it might be of help to both of us. I nodded, not saying a word. I brought out the suitably dressed Keren from the house and met Sharon on the way out. She had a mixture of shock and amusement on her face. Though she didn’t say anything when passing by us, I felt a negative energy oozing out of her. Which was weird because I have never felt this before… and it was strange, because if she’d been bad… Austin would have been the first to realize that, wouldn’t he? Keren patted my palm and shook her head grimly. Confused at first, but she pointed to the now retreating Sharon and shook her head again… and then I understood what she meant. “Well, it’s okay. Let’s continue our plan, Kay?” She nodded happily.Before we went to the
