Chapter 8
About a few minutes later, after I attended to the twins and went up to my room to have my dress changed, and when I came back I saw a young man in his early twenties sitting in the living room. I was not sure who he was until I looked in his face and I could see he looked more like Mrs Sophia, but I still couldn’t tell, since I haven’t met him before and I only know about Ace and the twins.
“Hello my name is Cassie. I’m the Nanny here. may I know who you are please,” I asked him respectfully.
He looked directly into my face, instead of answering my question, he stared at me from head to toe. I was in my work dress, I thought of what could be going on in his mind since he just kept on staring at me.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“I am Patrick. Ace’s younger brother, I just returned back from the college for my holiday, I met the door open so I walked. I never knew my mum brought in a nanny,” he said, still staring at me from head to toe.
I was surprised to hear that he was Ace’s younger brother, his words kept coming to my mind. I never knew that he had a younger brother to talk more about anyone who’s in college . Maybe I needed to stay longer with them. Maybe there is more than I needed to know about this wonderful family that I’m living with.
I greeted him politely.
“Well, I’m here to take care of the twins, so I’m the new nanny,”I replied.
“That’s good. like I said, I’m Patrick,” I just came in to have some rest,” he said looking at me.
He stared deep into my face and I felt so uncomfortable with his gaze, a flush of odd feelings rushed through me. Why the heck was I looking at me that way and why does my heart beat so fast? Though Patrick has his mum’s face, he still has a little resemblance to his brother ‘Ace’.
The awkward moment was distracted by the ringing of his phone on the table.
“Sorry I need to check this,” he said, taking his phone and speaking into it.
I immediately got a hold of myself and left to my room to do some of the things that needed to be done.
“I will never do such a thing. I only came here to work and not to grace anyone’s bed,” I kept looking at him I was really angry with everything that was happening in my life, it was enough that I’m passing through financial problems and now that I got the opportunity to work in this place under Mrs Sophia and then his sons are going to make this mansion terrible for me.
It was so insulting to hear him say that, to think that I will give him my body, now it’s no longer about Ace only but his brother also.
I was already pissed. I felt like hitting his chest with my fist. I clenched my fist so tight and closed my eyes. I felt like giving him the punch on his face but then I could be sacked, I could be thrown out by Mrs Sophia. Then I tried to control my anger.
“What do you want from me sir,” I looked at him.
“I just want you to be mine,”he repeated.
“Just as I said before, I’m not here for that,” he responded, nonchalantly turning to face the other way.
“Are you sure you’re going to come to my bed?” he said, holding my waist.
I pushed him softly away from my body.
“What the heck was he thinking? And what does he take me for?” Same question kept creeping into my mind.
“I’m your boss, so you should be ready to do whatever I want. I saw you a couple of minutes ago and ever since that time I set my eyes on you. I just want you that is all,” he said.
I pushed him out of my room and closed the door immediately. I leaned my back on the door, not so sure if I was ready to face the consequence of pushing him out.
How much longer do I have to take all these? This wasn’t what I anticipated. I was hoping to get a better job and I was glad when this job came. Now I can’t even work peacefully without Ace, his brother Patrick, coming to disturb my stay and each time I voice out my anger they threaten to have me fired.
I was sweating profusely even under the air conditioner, I was filled with anger.
