Babysitter for the CEO

13



At once, many left. This woman had a loud mouth! The woman took one last look at the smiling thug before heading toward the gym house. That’s the area she lost most of her fish and she was sure none of the uncrushed ones were there. Others might have taken them. She was just going there to get her basin and go back home! Unknown to her, a man in black was following her in secret. Who’s this guy? What do you think of Jack, Nelson and the unnamed lady’s actions? Who’s right and who’s wrong here? Be sure to tell me in the comments. *********

McDermott hospital “Vanessa, so much has happened since we separated. I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you. Now that you have me here, I’m going to make sure you live life to the fullest. Let this stupid buddy compensate, ” Evelyn said emotionally. “Nah, it’s fine,” Vanessa chuckled. “Look, the little beauty is waking up. She’s so cute” “Why now?” Evelyn whined. This little demoness is going to make things hard for her again. She won’t let her stare at her bestie say less f talk to her. “If it weren’t for the telepathy, I would be hopeless,” Evelyn muttered. But she’d underestimated Vanessa. “I can hear you, baby girl,” Vanessa reminded. “Even my inaudible words? Cool!” Evelyn screamed telepathically. “Hold it baby, you’re being too loud here. You don’t want me to be deaf too, right?” Vanessa teased. “Hmph! I’ll not talk to you again” she turned over to the other side of the hospital bed. Seeing her throwing a childish tantrum, Vanessa shook her head and smiled. “Mummy?” a familiar sweet voice finally stole her attention. She looked down to see Lisa, who had just awoken staring at her as if she’s afraid that Vanessa would disappear. Vanessa opened her mouth, and then realization hit her: she couldn’t speak. Ah, she just wanted to speak to her little princess by all means! Why is life so unfair? “Well then, my hands and eyes will do the speaking, ,” she said to Evelyn telepathically. “Suit yourself, my queen, ” Evelyn replied telepathically, without turning back. ‘She’s still throwing a tantrum. As expected of my highschool buddy’ Vanessa thought. “You know I can hear your thoughts, right?” Evelyn muttered since she now knew that Vanessa had extremely sharp hearing. ‘Well, I know now that you have sharp hearing, too. Congrats, baby” Vanessa then returned her focus to a confused Lisa. “Mummy, you don’t want me anymore? Is that ugly lady better looking than I am?” Lisa asked with tears. Vanessa panicked, but quickly readjusted herself. She placed her right hand on Lisa’s forehead and brought her face closer to her. Then she planted a kiss on both of Lisa’s cheeks and her forehead. “Haha, Mama love me” Lisa stopped crying and kissed Vanessa’s cheek. “That felt so good, ” Vanessa spoke to Evelyn telepathically. “Like I care. You guys can kiss yourselves to hell?” Evelyn was indifferent. “Jealous somebody?” Vanessa teased her bestie, but this time she didn’t reply. “Mama… don’t worry, Lisa will make sure no one bullies you. Pinky promise,” Lisa showed her pinky finger and intertwined it with Vanessa’s. All Vanessa could do was smile and nod her head, then hug Lisa tightly. Gosh, this little princess felt so soft to hug and smelt good. How much she wished she could speak right now, so she’d shower Lisa with compliments. So while Lisa and Vanessa were having a merry time, Evelyn sulked. “This evil baby dared to steal my position,” she cursed under her breath. “I can hear you, remember?” Vanessa wouldn’t let her bestie be in peace nor let her have time to formulate evil designs against her little princess. Lisa deserved all the pampering, love and kisses. She’s Lisa’s mum; at least temporarily. She never knew having a kid would be so satisfying; though she didn’t exactly birth Lisa. While the trio was busy; two having a merry time and the other sulking out of jealousy, a majestic figure whose very presence and name called for respect and fear, had just stepped out of the hospital’s VIP elevator. Behind him were 6 male bodyguards dressed in either grey or black suits and black sunglasses. Their faces were cold as ice just like their master. His very appearance caused many to shudder involuntarily. It was like they were seeing a good-looking Asura who would in the next moment chop off their beautiful heads! Ah, they wanted to live longer. So as expected, many got out of his way because they wouldn’t be able to handle his anger. After he had left, an elderly lady asked her granddaughter in a whisper. “Who’s that man, Liana? So scary!” “He’s Y city’s ruthless business emperor, Jack…” the granddaughter chose not to say further. She didn’t want misfortune to stick to them like glue. “Liana dear, say something. You said Jack…” the grandma refused to understand the situation. “Curiosity kills the cat. Sometimes ignorance and silence is bliss” the brunette granddaughter adjusted her medicated glasses and stood up to leave. “Where are you going?” her grandma asked. “Ladies restroom, grandma. Wait for me, I’ll be back in a jiffy.” Liana ran away in her yellow floral gown that showed her curves despite it being a little loose. “Ah, children these days. Just look at her. Does she think I don’t know who she’s talking about? Hmph!” she took out a can of refined luxury beer (which actually contained juice inside)and opened it. As she drank, she slightly shook her head from time to time, indicating she liked the beer. “This is what Liana should be drinking to get more courage not those juice and mineral drinks that only give her cowardice. Ah, if she didn’t look like my daughter Roselle I wouldn’t believe she’s my…” “Grandma, I’m back. You were saying… wait, is that a beer? Grandma?” Liana called out while facepalming in frustration. She quickly sat on the waiting couch and wanted to take the beer can from her but grandma held it tight like it was her beloved.

“You never listen. Beer is bad for your health. Hand it over” Liana tried to get the beer can. “If I hand it over will you drink it?” grandma asked with mockery. “This is what you should drink. Look at you; you look so timid and weak” “Grandma?” Liana was close to erupting. Why wouldn’t her grandma just listen? “Besides who are those doctors to tell me what my body can and can’t take. When I was working, their mother hadn’t even hugged their father. PTUI!” Grandma wasn’t convinced to hand the ‘beer’ can over. “Fine, what do you want?” Liana knew grandma wanted her to do something.
