ALEXA’S POV
“I guess you get another plan up and ready since I don’t think I will be getting this job” I said to Cody and his gang.
After I returned yesterday from the Brown’s mansion, I could tell my interview didn’t go well. I don’t want to get their hopes high since I wasn’t really sure about the outcome.
“Chill babe, you are only saying this because you are not fully in support of this” Cody said and I glared at him.
I opened my mouth to give him one hundred and one reasons why I think the idea is still crazy but the ringing from my phone interrupted me.
“I will just go get this” I walked away towards the table where I placed my phone.
“Hello Miss Martin” the feminine voice from the other end of the line said
"Speaking" I replied
"Congratulations! You have gotten the job you applied for as a Nanny in the Brown's mansion, If you can resume work today, it would be great" she said, and I didn't even know if I should be happy or sad
"Um…umm…." I stuttered and turned towards Cody's direction and saw him signaling me to say yes
"Yes, yes I can resume today, I would be there in an hour" I said
"Alright, I'm Clarissa by the way, Thank you" The lady replied, she sounded friendly today unlike yesterday
"Thank you too Miss Clarissa" I said and she hung up, after saying it was her pleasure and stuff
"Babe! You're the best, I knew you could ace it" Cody said and lifted me up in joy
All I could do was smile, as they all cheered in happiness
"Let's celebrate this" Adam, Cody's right hand man said and everyone agreed
"So, now that you have successfully gotten into the mansion as an insider, you would be the one to let us know all the exits and entries in the mansion" Cody said as he sipped his drink
"Okay, that's for an easy and smooth operation" I said with a nod
"Exactly, and also, you will be the one to let us know where all the money and valuables are kept, and the places where they are security cameras and also how many security personnels are in the mansion and also, their position in the building" he added
"Wow! I have so much work to do, would I be able to get it done?" I asked and he placed his hand on my shoulder
"Babe! Trust me, nothing would go wrong, I promise" he said trying to calm me down from the tension I was feeling
I didn't know it was visible to everyone, but then, I sighed heavily
"Alright, I'll go and get ready to resume" I said and left them to keep celebrating
This was a big feat for me but I had to do it, cause of the love I have for Cody
************
"Alright babe! I'll be on my way now" I said and placed a kiss on his cheek, then made my way to the door
"Good luck babe!" He said and I smiled
I was about to knock on the door when it opened
"Oh! Good morning sir" I greeted
"Just in time Miss Martin, come in" Mr Anthony said gesturing for me to go in
"Good morning to you too" he greeted back with a warm smile
"Thank you sir" I replied and walked in
"Nolan! Nolan" He called, I assumed it was the man I was to Nanny, it still sounded funny and I almost burst out in laughter
Thank goodness I was able to maintain my self control
"What is it? You should be gone by now" I heard the guy say
'Why was he rude to his father?' I asked myself but didn't give much thought to it
"Get your ass down here" Mr. Anthony said again and he groaned in anger I guess before coming down
'My goodness! This guy is the epitome of beauty' I said to myself as I stared at him in awe, I could swear my mouth was agape as the Nolan guy chuckled when he looked my direction
"So, why did you call me?" He asked folding his arms across his chest
"Alexa, this is Nolan, he is my son" Mr Anthony said
"Hi Mr. Nolan" I greeted with a smile but he scoffed
Such a nice way of replying to a greeting
"Nolan, this is Alexa, your Nanny" Mr. Anthony said to Nolan and he burst out into a wild laughter
I was surprised as fuck but Mr. Anthony didn't look surprised, instead, he looked as though he was expecting it
"I told he was a jerk, don't mind it though" He said and all I could say was
"Oh!"
"Come on Dad, A Nanny, and it had to be a lady, and ugly one at that, you should have gotten a beautiful one and I would be the one following her around" he said still laughing
"Nolan! Be respectful for one in lifetime, the lady In question is standing right in front of you" Mr. Anthony cautioned but he continued
"She is freaking me out, how do you expect me to move around with a she joker, she would freak everyone out" he said, but I kept my cool
I wasn't going to let his words get to me
"I'm sorry Miss Martin, you said you could handle it, so here you are, and you just have to deal with it" Mr. Anthony said and I smiled and nodded
"And you Nolan, pull yourself together,if you try anything stupid, I would get you a bodyguard instead" He warned, but the extremely rude Nolan rolled his eyes and said
"Get your ass moving dad and let me be" and then walked away
"Hey! You don't have to be rude to your dad" I scolded, and followed behind him, it was so annoying, and I couldn't keep quiet about it
"Alexa or whatever he called you, you better shut up, and stop following me around, I know you like me, but I don't feel the same way for you, so stop forcing yourself on me" he said and paused in his steps, then turned to see my reaction
He was smiling, for God knows why
"Umm, I think it's the other way around, cause you have been smiling since you saw me, and purposely saying things to make me upset" I retorted
"And from what I know, guys do that to girls they…." I continued but he cut me off
"Stop trying to start up a conversation with me, cause your voice, it's so manly, I mean, why would a girl have such a huge and deep voice? Mine don't even sound as deep as yours" he said with creased brows
"You sure you're not a man disguised as a lady?" He asked giving me an up to down look
"Nolan, I…"
"Shh! You're making me scared, get off my face Miss ugly" he said
"Why stress so much about my looks and voice? I mean, even a blind man could clearly see that, though I'm not good looking, you still cannot be compared to me" I said and his expression changed
"Hey! I saw how you looked at me, so don't try denying the fact that I'm the cutest guy you've ever seen with that abnormally big eyes of yours" he said and was about to walk away, but he paused when I retorted nonchalantly
I acted as though his words weren't getting to me and that for sure made him really surprised and felt challenged
"Yes, I was checking you out, not because you're cute or beautiful, I was only feeling sorry for you and appreciating my looks, cause I honestly thought I was the ugliest person on earth until I met you, ish! God was really merciless when he created you" I said on and on and his jaw dropped, he could see him struggling and looking for the right words for a comeback
But his brain dictionary failed him, I smirked at him and then walked away
I needed to start my real mission immediately
"Alexa! Alexa! Ugly bitch where the fuck are you?" Nolan called
OMPHH
I bumped into someone
"Even with you mighty eyes you still can't see clearly" he said, and that's when I knew he was the one
I just rolled my eyes and asked
"What is it? I heard you calling my name" I asked
"Yes, don't you know I'm your boss? So whenever I call you, you should report to me immediately
"What do you want?" I asked
"You're such a stubborn Nanny, but then, I need you to come help me with my clothes" he said and walked away
.
.

"I don't want to wear the color blue, get me umm…a red one" he said and I had to return the blue t-shirt back to his closet
I have been bringing and returning his clothes for the past thirty minutes, and I knew he was doing it on purpose
"Nolan, i'm your Nanny and not your messenger, and how can you possibly wear all these clothes scattered on the bed?" I asked In frustration
"Yeah, you're right, I can't wear all these clothes, so arrange them back in the closet" he said, and put on his headset immediately, not giving me the chance to complain
"Umm! Alexa! get me a drink, a hot orange juice" he said taking off the headset
"A hot orange juice? Who drinks that? How can I even get that?" I asked, I felt like giving him a punch in that face of his
"Yes a hot orange juice, I drink it and boil the juice, that's how to get it" he said and I sighed
'What kind of a human is this, now I understand why Mr. Anthony stressed the fact that he was a jerk' I complained and went to the kitchen to do as he said
"Here is your drink" I said handing the tray to him
"Thanks dear" he said which made me arch my brows, did he just thank me
Hhh! I don't think I can ever understand this guy
I said to myself, just as I went back to the closet, he screamed
"What! How can you serve me a hot drink?" He asked
"But you…." I tried to say but he cut me off
"Why are you this wicked? You just started your job and you're already messing up" he complained
"You just said you wanted a hot orange juice, that's why I…"
"Ha-ha-ha! I love that reaction on your face, it was so real, my fans are never going to suspect it was planned" he said and brought out his cell phone
This asshole was making a video, and was going to post it, goodness! I was fed up already
"Oops! I spilled the drink, come clean it up Alexa" he said and smiled mischievously at me, all I could do was obey
When I left his bedroom, Cody called, since I was the only one in the living room, I answered it
"Hey babe! How are you doing?" He asked and I just sighed
"How's your new job going? Have you found something?" He asked again
"No I haven't, I have not been changed to look around the house, but don't worry, I'll get something soon " I said
"Alexa!" I heard Nolan call from behind and I turned sharply, my heart was pounding really hard In my chest.
ALEXA’S POVIt’s been a week since I became the Nanny to Mr. Rude and arrogant, popularly known as Nolan Brown. I still can’t believe how someone can be so full of himself and of course hot but this is the only time I’m ever saying that.“I see reasons why Mr. Anthony has decided to get him a Nanny but I think a chain would have been best, you know like a dog since he is out of control” Cody said jokingly.“I am being serious here babe, that guy is out of control, he sees everyone like shit and below him” I complained bitterly. I can still remember the ugly incident between us when we first got introduced not to talk of when he does silly things just to make me quit.“You know he almost caught us right?” I said to Cody as I remembered when he heard my conversation with him over the phone. The good part was that he didn’t hear much, which made it easy for me to twist the truth. I can’t get fired on my first day at work.“Good thing you got him off our ass as soon as possible” he moved
ALEXA’S POVIt’s been over thirty minutes now since an angry Nolan kicked me out of the room. What should I do? Call Mr. Brown and inform him about the situation? How can I tell him that his stubborn son has refused to acknowledge his call? Should I go back to the room to call him again? Perhaps a second try might work.I turned around to take a step towards his room when the door opened, Nolan was dressed in a jean trouser and a white T-shirt which made me raise a brow.“Took you long enough” I muttered and he glared at me. Oops! I guess he must have heard me.“So she’s the bitch who got herself invited into your room huh?” The snarky voice of the lady who I assumed was his girlfriend met my ears and I rolled my eyes the moment I turned away from them.“I will be right back babe” Nolan said and went back into the room.“Listen and listen carefully” the lady without a name yet, who I would call Nolan’s girlfriend, said pulling my hair slightly which made me yelp out in pain.“Nolan is
ALEXA'S POV Mr. Brown holds up his hand to stop Nolan and his girlfriend's protest, clearing his throat as he stands up from his seat. I could sense Barbie girl snarling beside me before Mr. Brown could speak."Nolan, how many times do I have to dictate to you Alexa's responsibility as your nanny?" Mr. Brown's tone ran cold, evidently losing his patience as he stared at Nolan intently."Father, how many times do I have to make myself clear to you? I don't need this bitch!" Nolan yells, loud enough to be heard by a few employees outside Mr. Brown's office."Calm down babe, it's alright. Let me handle this," His obnoxious Barbie girl cooed to him as she rubbed his heaving chest. I look up at her in amusement after hearing her words and see her turning towards Mr. Brown to speak, Nolan had already sat down behind her noticeably gritting his teeth."Err, Dad-""No one calls me that, Dear, stick with Mr. Brown" Mr. Brown cuts her off, his stone remaining cold as well as his look."Alrig
Chapter 7'And that's it then,' I thought to myself as I put my luggage at the back of the car.Cody waved goodbye to me as I turned my gaze at him, hoping he would make a step toward me to stop me from leaving. "I'll miss you!" Cody yelled before the car door slammed closed by the driver. "Sure you would"The drive back to the mansion took a lot more time than I had expected but it wasn't eventful. The sun had already begun to hide and the night flew in slowly, following the transition from city to suburban. Looking out of the window beside me, I couldn't help myself from thinking back at how hot Nolan was. His body had a firm build that I was surprised he was hiding, especially his huge plaything. Wait, what- you have a boyfriend...Shaking my head to think clearly, I noticed the driver is already starting to park the car at the garage. I see a glimpse of Mr. Brown standing at the garage entrance and waiting patiently. Making my way out of the car, the driver made his way to ge
ALEXA'S POV "Oh! Oh god- I am so sorry, sir" I covered my eyes immediately as I realized I've been caught staring."No, no- It's alright," I hear him chuckle as I turn around embarrassed.As I was about to take my leave, I felt his hand touch my shoulder and he stopped me from leaving.“What were you doing out of your room?” His voice was calm with a hint of curiosity in them. “I couldn’t sleep, sir, I just thought it would be alright to wander around in your house- I mean, mansion,” I still couldn't take up the courage to turn around and face him, but his hold was forcing me to do so. His gaze met mine and I was trying hard not to panic under his hold. "Hey, why are you so tense? It's alright wandering around for the first time. You just startled me with your presence," He smiles as he pats my shoulder and walks to the side.He grabs a towel from the tanning bench and makes his way to the bar at the furthest side from the pool, but before he could go any farther from me he turn
For a while, my suspicions about this woman had me discover I was wrong about her. Maybe my doubts had led me to realize that I and her are alike.She's someone who lost her life to building someone else's. I lost mine when I lost the one person who built mine."What makes you say that, sir?" I turn away from her as I try not to remind myself of the past.She has such a close resemblance to her, even just her voice ties in hauntingly."You and I are more alike than you could imagine," I chuckle under my breath as the memories I've pushed down slowly crept back up from the surface of my mind."That's why I hired you, you took the job wholeheartedly and I knew then that my son needed a mother figure from how you brought yourself into the room until you left…" But deep down, I knew I felt her in you. "But, if an opportunity comes during your job here… I hope you don't hesitate to take it, because you have the potential to be somewhere else," I remember her saying that to me, my wife wh
As I cut between the sandwiches I had prepared for Mr. Rude, I place them neatly on their plate by a tray. Thanking Cassey for her assistance, I toom the tray with me on my way to Nolan's room where he had called me earlier.His room was as I had last seen it, the after he had a nice arrangement with his girlfriend. God, if only he wasn't so arrogant and bitchy, he could preferably be my type. Spotting him by his balcony, I see him engrossed with his work on a floorplan. His hand is extraordinarily skilled with such detail, I wonder it's the reason why he holds himself at arms length with people. Artist and their non-sociable affairs. "What are you staring for?" Nolan says, not even taking a glance to turn to me. "Nothing, just admiring your work from behind" As I replied, I hear him scoffs at my word as if it were an insult to him."What's that for?" I asked as I set the tray by an empy spot on another table, not to have it hit and ruin his work."Architecture project, I couldn't
ALEXA’S POVStartled by the sudden appearance of Nolan’s father and the drama ready to play out in the mansion, I hid myself behind the door to witness what was going on. The atmosphere in there was hot, I could feel it. Nolan set aside his work for floor plan of a home which he was working on, ready to give his dad the floor.”We need to talk”, Anthony said. Without second guesses, Nolan knew his father has come to have the usual “talk” ready to try to make him understand for the millionth times that his business isn’t his business, he reluctantly said “yes, we can talk”“Freedom will lead you to your end. Nolan, you can’t lead a life full of carelessness if you cannot find a way to control yourself, you’ll be an aimless kite with no one to guide you” Anthony spoke with rage. He never holds a peaceful conversation with his son; it always ends in fights and arguments. Sometimes, it makes me wonder if he truly loves his son like he always says and claims. Nolan amazed by what his fat
