HIRED
CHAPTER THREE
JAYDEN'S POV
I was in the meeting with the mafia families discussing how to strike one of our enemies whose identity has been revealed when Henry walked up to me.
“We have got a situation but everything is under control.” He whispered and stood behind me.
“Let’s have this meeting some other time.” I ordered.
“Don’t worry Jay. You can go ahead while I deal with the rest of the issue.” My godfather, David Pam, who got me on the position as the underworld mafia don said.
I nodded in response and headed out with Henry trailing behind me.
“What’s the situation?”
“Max, fell into the pool but he’s under the doctor’s care.”
“F**k!! How did it happen? Someone has got an explanation to do.” I cursed under my breath.
“It happens that the maid assigned to look after him got carried away and lost sight of him. She’s being held captive by the men.”
“She’s definitely a spy sent by an enemy. I won’t spare her or the person involved.”
“I will find out who is behind the attack, boss.”
“Cancel the rest of my schedule for today. I need to spend time with my son and be sure he’s okay.”
“Okay boss.”
“Let’s head back to the mansion and torture the living hell out of that b**h.” I gritted my teeth in rage and strolled out of the mafia headquarters.
**
I headed for my son’s room immediately, I arrived at the mansion and found the doctor, aunt, an unfamiliar lady with a towel around her along with two other female staff standing on my son who was on his bed.
“How is he doc?”
“He’s absolutely fine now, Mr. Russell. I’ve given him a pill which will make him feel better.”
“Daddy!”
“How are you feeling, champ?” I asked, taking a seat on his bed.
“I’m fine daddy.”
“Mr. Russell, he needs to get some rest in order for the drug to work efficiently.”
“Alright.” I responded, ceasing his forehead.
“Can I take my leave now, Mr. Russell?”
“Yes, you can.”
“Thank you Mr. Russell. If anything comes on, don’t forget to give me a call.” He stated while I nodded in response and ordered the two female staff to lead him outside.
“I’m extremely sorry I wasn’t there when he left his room.” Aunt began but I stopped her politely.
“It’s nothing aunt. I blame the maid assigned to watch over him. Let’s just forget about the matter.” I uttered and turned towards the unfamiliar stranger.
“Who are you?”
“She’s the one who saved Max when he fell into the pool. She’s actually one of the people who came for the nanny position.” Aunt explained before she could respond.
“I see. Have you interviewed her yet?”
“Not yet, son.”
“Alright. I’ll do that then. I’ll leave you with Max.” I stated.
“Okay son.”
“Get some rest, champ. I’ll come check up on you later, okay.”
“Okay daddy.” He replied with a smile while I kissed his forehead before gesturing to the strange lady to trail behind me.
SARAH’S POV
We got to a study room which was so beautiful and captivating that I was lost admiring the beauty of the room.
“Don’t just stand there staring around. I don’t have all day long.” His voice bloomed, which made me regain myself.
“Have a seat and let me have your credentials to be sure if you’re qualified for the job.” He added, gesturing to me to take a seat in front of his desk.
I quietly walked over to the desk and handed the file containing my credentials to him before taking a seat.
While he was going through my credentials I kept admiring his handsome looks. He was indeed the perfect definition of good looks. He had grey eyes with his hair shortened and styled.
“Have you ever thought of looking for a job other than a nanny's job?” He asked, which got me speechless.
“It’s actually complicated.” I managed to reply.
“I guess everyone is looking for a way to make fast money. If not, how could someone with such good credentials work as a nanny.” He uttered, which hurt my feelings.
If only he knew what my father did when I got a job at a famous company, he wouldn’t have said those words.
“Alright. You’re hired. You can resume today but you’ll be living here. I want to be sure my son is well taken care of and protected.”
“Thank you sir. I’ll make sure he’s well protected and safe around me.”
“I hope so. I’m sure you’re aware how much is involved?” He asked with narrowed eyes.
“Not really.”
“Then how did you learn that a nanny is needed? Or were you sent by an enemy to spy on me, tell me this instant so I can spare your life?” He said with anger which got me frightened.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, sir. My father was the one who learnt about it, nothing more.”
“I’ll assume you’re telling the truth but I will keep a close eye on you.”
“Okay sir.”
“You will be paid one thousand dollars per month. It’s an offer no one will be willing to lose.”
“A thousand dollars?!” I exclaimed in shock.
“You’re free to pull out if you’re not satisfied.”
“No sir. I didn’t mean it that way. I was just surprised. I’m very much fine with the payment.” I responded, quickly.
“Whatever you say. Before you start, I’ll like to put you to light. There are rules governing this mansion which every staff obeys and I hope you’ll be able to follow them just like everyone is.” He began while I listened keenly at him.
“You’re forbidden from entering my bedroom at any cost. You’re forbidden to talk back while I’m talking. You’re not allowed to stare at me in the eyes.”
“I’ll try my best to follow each rule.”
“I’m not done speaking.” He stated, glaring at me which made mute before he proceeded.
“As my son’s nanny there are certain rules you’ve to follow. You must report to me on my son’s daily routine. Also, you must inform me wherever you’re going to be sure you’re not rooting something up. I need to know everything about what you do.”
“Okay sir. I’ll try as much as possible to abide by every rule.”
“Good. Do you have a cell phone?”
“No sir.”
“Alright. You can go prepare yourself and start today.”
“Okay sir. Thank you.” I thanked him and stood up to leave when his words made me halt on the spot.
“Thank you for saving my son.”
I never thought he would thank me for saving his son. Who could have ever imagined I would be a good swimmer if my mother hadn’t made me take swimming classes?
“I’m glad I got there on time. I’ll be on my way now, sir.” I replied with a warm smile before making my way out.
