Babysitter for the CEO

“There are many reasons for this. One… you know about my daughter’s secret” said Jack calmly.

“What secret? Is the fact that she’s your child a secret? Mr. Reynolds, you can’t bully us” Evelyn wanted to freeze this fool forever. What nonsensical excuse was he making to keep them hostage?

“Miss, Vanessa, I’m sure you clearly understand what I mean” Jack then turned to look at his child.

Vanessa sighed and telepathed to Evelyn: “BFF, now that I think about it, Lisa isn’t ordinary either. She has the ability to heal very fast but only when someone she likes is there and cries.”

“What?” Evelyn exclaimed telepathically.

“Mr. Jack, Lisa’s secret is related to magical healing right?” Evelyn asked and Jack nodded.

“Second reason, the car tyres that the ugly blonde…”

Evelyn cut Jack short.

“Stinky man, she has a name which you know. It’s Vanessa. And how can you, a big boss, a zillionaire, be so petty over tyres? How can you be sure that my bestie even touched your stupid tyres? Do you have proof?” Evelyn started yelling like a market woman and Vanessa shook her head.

“Bestie, calm down. Allow him to state all his reasons and we’ll know the way forward” Vanessa mind linked a raging Evelyn.

Hearing this, Evelyn calmed down.

“State all your reasons please,” she yielded as Vanessa held her hand.

That’s how a good puppy should be,” Jack said and continued listing more reasons not minding the fact that Evelyn’s face had become twisted.

“Third reason, she incited my child to go against me and that’s the reason she’s here again. The fourth reason, you guys got in here and showed no manners. The fifth reason, the brown-haired duck is basket-brained. The only thing in her brain is nonsense that’s why she’s bent on causing me to have a heart attack” Jack finished stating and took his hone to check something on the net.

“Bestie, just a sec. Give me one sec to solve this goat incarnate” Evelyn mind linked but Vanessa shook her head.

“That will expose us to danger” Vanessa chided and Evelyn calmed down a little.

“So, Lisa’s father, how do you want us to compensate you?”Vanessa finally spoke.

“Men, come” he ordered, and immediately, the bodyguards locking the exit gave way for another bodyguard to come in carrying a suitcase which he placed on the table. He then opened it carefully and brought out a paper which he handed to Evelyn.

“70 million?” Evelyn exclaimed.

“Yeah, you guys did all of these in a span of two days. I calculated all the losses in monetary terms and even gave you a discount which amounts to 30 million. Now, instead of 100 million, you just have to pay 70. Hows it? Feeling thankful for my benevolence?”

“Grateful? You… is this how you got so much money? Just go rob a bank!” Evelyn thundered again and Vanessa sighed. Her bestie never learns.

“Are you saying each reason you listed earlier is worth 20 million? Even an armed robber isn’t this wicked” Evelyn raged.

“Oh, I forgot to add some. You just reminded me” Jack instructed the man who brought the small suitcase into the ward to collect the paper from Evelyn and write whatever he says.

“You called me a robber and a wicked man, after all, I’ve done for you, you are arrogant and unwilling to take correction. You are loud-mouthed and I nearly died from your bad breath. All that equals, 100 million.” the man immediately added the new sum to the bill and Evelyn’s eyes widened.

“You” Evelyn pointed at him.

“Rude, plus 20 million,” Jack said and the man added it to the bill.

“Vanessa, allow me to kill him” Evelyn telepathed but Vanessa shook her head.

“Vanessa is ugly, resembles a monkfish, has bad skin like some stray dog ut in the streets, plus 50 million,” Jack said and the man added it to the bill.

Vanessa’s eyes widened. She was ugly? Where? Her skin was good also. This man must be the king of blindness!

“How dare you say my friend is ugly?” Evelyn raged and Jack added another 20 million to the bill.

Finally, he said: “The brunette is uglier than a gorilla. No, I think you look more like a blobfish. I’m afraid, I might have nightmares tonight. Plus 200 million.”

Then he collected the bill and the pen from the bodyguard and handed it to Vanessa to sign. She had no choice but to do it. The total amount was 500 million! This was worse than a scam. How can there exist such a shameless bastard like him? No wonder Lisa called him a demon.

“I need my money tomorrow morning. Don’t think of escaping. My bodyguard will escort you home and protect you two from danger free of charge. What do you say?” he asked with ridicule in his eyes. Just like Nelson Woodley, he loved to have fun at people’s expense. That’s why Lisa copied him. He’s truly a rotten egg!

“Isn’t there another way?” Vanessa asked.

“There is. You are smarter than that blobfish” Jack praised but it took Evelyn all her might to not hack him to unrecognizable bits.

“What do you want from us, sir?”Evelyn spoke through gritted teeth.

“Only the monkfish blonde can fulfill my conditions. As for you, blobfish brunette, you are simply useless.”

Hearing this, Evelyn’s eyes were about to change color but Vanessa hed her hand.

“Calm down dear” she telepathed ” Hold on for a bit longer. He’s just teasing us. Allow him to state his true terms.”

“Vanny, if he curses me again, I will…” Evelyn was cut off by Jack’s sudden words.

“Vanessa, my little princess seems to like you a lot. Seeing you two are very poor and even if you are sold, you can’t even raise 4 million, I decided to let You, Vanessa to be my little girl’s BABYSITTER.”
