The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

“Wait… were you guys waiting for her?” Ethan asked.

“Well… yes”

“For what?” He asked.

“We thought she forced you to do it” Ethan said.

“And you’re gonna do what to her? It’s high time you both stopped all this. Irish is not like Arin’s past nannies! She’s different, she’s far different. Stop treating her like she means nothing, it’s unfair” Ethan dropped his blazer on the couch.

“You keep doing things you won’t do on a normal day just because of her” Mrs Harlow said. “Mum, everything i did for Irish, i can do it for any other person…”

“I know you’re a philanthropist but..” Jessica was saying.

“Then why are you so against me helping Irish.” Ethan interrupted her. “Moreover it’s my money and i can do whatever i want with it”

“Irish is still the best nanny Arin ever has, Arin could testify to that. She has never tried to seduce me or peform any immoral act, she’s just like a second mother to Arin, Arin loved her right from the start. Irish is a very good person, i don’t know where your dislike for her is coming from. You didn’t even treat Arin’s past nannies like you do treat her. She’s a human too, the fact that she did not get the opportunity to be in our position doesn’t mean you should treat her like thrash, she wouldn’t be here if she saw better opportunities, you both are being unfair to her”Ethan said and Mrs Harlow looked remorseful, she seemed to be having a change of mind.

“That doesn’t mean you should treat her like she’s part of us, the fact still remain that she’s a nanny and shouldn’t get the privileges her employer and his family gets” Jessica said.

“That’s up to me to decide, I’m her employer after all, she’ll do whatever i say and whatever you see Irish do, I told her to, she doesn’t do anything without asking for my permission, she has

never taken advantage of my kindness to misbehave, she’s still the most well behaved person I’ve ever seen”

“She might be pretending brother” Jessy said.

“Whatever… if you both don’t stop being mean to her then I’m gonna change towards you too”Ethan said.

He picked his blazer and started walking towards the stairs.

He stopped and turned “And i think you both should know this. I’m in love with Irish.”

“What!” Jessica screamed while Mrs Harlow just stared at him..

“Yeah” Ethan smiled before disappearing to his room.

“Arrrgh!” Mrs Harlow sighed.

“What do you think?” Jessica asked in horror.

“I think Irish might just be what Ethan said. She looks nice to me..”

“No! She’s a pretender! Godmother, I’m sure she’s here on a mission. She wants

something, that’s the reason she’s acting all nice and sweet” Jessica said.

“Really..” Mrs Harlow said, reasoning what Jessica just said.

She might be right.

The last thing she wants is for someone to hurt her only son. He already went through alot, from the death of Carrle, to his wife dumping him over his adopted brother. That’s enough already.

“And did brother just said he’s in love with her” Jessy said, burying her face in his palms. “I’ve suspected that since we got here.. it’s quite obvious” Mrs Harlow said.

The door opened and Irish walked in.

She greeted Mrs Harlow and made her way to her room with Carl and Cory.

“She didn’t say hi to me!” Jessica whined and Mrs Harlow laughed.

“You wouldn’t have answered”

“Well.. yeah”

Irish hurried into Arin’s room through the adjoining door and she was just waking up from her nap.

She rubbed her eyes with the back of her palm.

“Hey there” Irish smiled.

“I want to pee” Arin said, still rubbing her eyes.

Irish led her into the bathroom, she washed her face after peeing.

She was fully awake by the time they walked back into her room.

“Do you want cake?” Irish asked her as she sat her on her couch and switched on the TV.

Arin nodded.

“I’ll be back” Irish said and she went to get two slices of strawberry cake from the kitchen.

Arin ate her cake while she watched animation on the TV.

“I guess you’ve done your homework?” Irish asked.

“Yes, Arusha and i did it together”Arin smiled.

“Ohh… is he fine?” Irish asked and Arin nodded.

“Be quick with your cake so we can go to the library okay?”

“Okay Irish”

They were eating their dinner in silence and Irish was glad Jessica or Mrs Harlow haven’t made any taunting remark so far.

“I saw your workshop and it was beautiful” Jessica said to Irish.

Irish was surprised but she muttered thank you .

“It must have cost you a lot” Jessica mocked further.

“Huh… no. Ethan did everything for me, the only thing i bought in there was the mannequin, Ethan did every other thing” Irish said.

“It must have been so nice to have someone do so many things for you without you spending a dime, i bet you want that to happen more often” Jessica taunted.

“Jessica!” Ethan stopped her from making further remark.

“I’m sorry brother… i was just trying to chat with Irish, You said i should be nice to her” Jessica said.

“If that’s the definition of nice to you, you should better go back to your books “Ethan said.

“Arusha said to greet you dad”Arin said.

“Ohh” Ethan smiled.

‘Arusha?’ Jessica thought, her mind wandering back to the Arusha in her class.

“Who’s Arusha?” Jessy asked.

No one has ever mentioned him.

“Irish’s brother” Arin said before Ethan x could stop her.

Ohh… he can never be the one in her class.

They can’t afford her school.

Jessica continued eating…”But how did you meet her brother? Has he been coming here?” “Yes” Arin said.

“Tch” Jessica rolled her eyes.

“This place is your workplace Irish, not a public house”Jessica said with a fake smile.

Ethan glared at her.

“Am being nice, i smiled!” Jessica said.

“Irish never told her brother to come here, i told him to!” Ethan said.

“Why?” Jessica asked.

“Cause Y has a tail and two branches” Ethan said and continued eating.

Irish bursted into laughter, she couldn’t hold it anymore. Arin joined her too and Ethan smiled. Jessica seethe quietly.

“Are we going to your workshop tonight?” Ethan asked.

“I’m done with the orders and I’ve had them delivered, i want to rest for tonight and accept the next set of orders tomorrow” Irish said and Mrs Harlow thought she sounded like a competent business woman.

“Ohh.. that’s fine then” Ethan said.

“Arusha, she returned my call already” Mrs Helen said, walking into the living room in her nightwear.

She was about to go to bed when Irish returned her call… she hadn’t picked when they called earlier.

Arusha was watching a movie, he just finished doing the dishes after they had dinner.

“Ohh… what did she say?” He asked.

“She’s fine as she said but i think she misses you” Mrs Helen said.

“I’ll go over to spend some time with her on Saturday then ” Arusha said.

“You should better do. Good night once again and make sure you go to bed soon”

“Okay mum, Good night”Arusha said.

He’s going to bed after watching this movie, he held his phone in his hand, planning to throw it in his backpack tonight so he won’t forget to take it to school tomorrow.

Olivia wants to see Irish’s pictures… he smiled.

He’s gonna tell Irish about Olivia on Saturday too.

“Finally” he said as the movie came to an end.

He switched off the lights and went to bed.
