Free Web NovelChapter 39: New workers
When I returned to the dining room, Parker was nowhere to be found. Where had he gone? I wondered as I took my seat.
I resumed eating, and barely five minutes later, Ruby sneaked into the dining room, startling me.
"Moon goddess!" I gasped when I saw her sitting beside me.
"Why? Why do you look surprised?" She grinned.
"You..."
"You forgot about this? The ban was lifted."
"I didn’t forget, but stop sneaking up on me; you’ll make me pass out one of these days," I grumbled.
"I’m hungry; I haven’t eaten today." She drew closer and began staring at my meal.
"What?" I asked, looking at her.
"That." She pointed.
"Go request yours; I’m sure they have more in the kitchen," I said.
"True, I’m sure they do. But can I do that?"
"Yeah. Why not?"
"Alright," she said, dropped her bag, and walked out of the room. Why is she being careful?
She returned seconds later with a plate of hash browns.
"Hmm, I’ve missed this delicacy. As expected, the meals made in this house are always super tasty," she complimented. I smirked, finished mine, and rose to my feet.
"I need to have my bath; come to my room when you’re done," I said before walking away. I went straight to my room, unlocked it, and went in. I was about to take off my clothes but paused when I saw an elderly woman making my bed.
What the heck? Who’s she? I’ve never seen her before.
"Ma’am," I called.
"Oh yes, dear, you’re finally here," the woman said, hurriedly over to me.
"I met your parents earlier, but I couldn’t meet you because you were still sleeping," she smiled.
Don’t tell me she’s the new nanny. The brothers didn’t betray me, did they?
"Oh hi," I replied, anxious for a response.
"Yeah," she said. Silence fell between us, and when I could no longer handle it, I asked,
"Are you my nanny? Did the brothers...?"
"Yes, yes," she smiled. "But I won’t disturb you much; you’re not a baby but a young adult. I won’t be in your space all the time, but I’ll ensure you sleep on time and eat when you’re supposed to. I’ll make sure your dress is perfectly ironed before school. I’ll be beside you and ensure you don’t fall sick again. And also, I’ll listen to you when you have a complaint." ƒreewebɳovel.com
"You can speak to me; do not hide anything from me. I also have children. I had four daughters and one grandson, so I know a lot about girls, especially ones your age," she calmly explained.
I think she’s going to be another Nanny Marlowe.
A sigh left my lips.
"May I... may I ask your name?"
"Oh yes, forgive me. I’m known as Samantha."
Samantha.
She seems like a person I can get along with.
"Okay, Samantha, I’m Amera. It’s nice to meet you."
"Yes, dear, it’s a pleasure to finally see and speak to you. I was employed last week but couldn’t come in because you were ill. I offered to be by your bedside, but I wasn’t allowed."
Oh, she was employed before or after I fell sick. Nice to know this.
"Okay, Samantha, I need to have my bath..." I started taking off my dress.
"No, I’m here to help you with it today."
"I’ll help you..."
"No, I can help myself; I’m not a baby. Please ignore me," I refused.
"Oh, if you insist. It’s just that some female workers were here earlier; they told me they wanted to prepare your bath, but I sent them away. I told them I could help with your bath."
"It’s totally fine, Samantha. Thank you for sending them away. I can help myself, I promise."
Why do the brothers think I need help when it comes to bathing and dressing? I still don’t understand the reason. They’ve been doing this since I came into this house.
Do they think I’m comfortable getting naked before a lot of women? Sure, I’ve gotten used to it, but I’m still not comfortable.
I took off my clothes, went into the bathroom, and had a bath. The bathtub was already prepared, so I didn’t have any difficulty cleaning myself.
I tied a towel around my body once I was done and stepped out to find Ruby sitting at my desk.
My dress for the day was already laid out on my bed.
A suit. A slim two-piece pink suit.
Nanny Samantha helped dry my hair while I applied lotion to my body and put on my panties and bra before getting dressed.
"It looks good on you, like it was made for you," nanny Samantha complimented.
"It was," I informed her.
"Huh."
"It was handmade for me," I repeated.
"Oh, I understand now," she said, nodding.
I smiled at her expression and walked to the mirror.
"Your hair... I can help with that," she offered.
"You can style it?"
"Yes, I had four daughters, remember?"
I sat at my makeup table, and she came behind me.
"How do you want it?"
"I want it parted this way," I explained to her, and she understood.
She didn’t do a fantastic job, but it was obvious that she was familiar with styling.
"Thank you," I said, got up, and picked up my bag.
I looked through the books in my bag to ensure everything was intact.
"Are you ready?" Ruby asked.
"Yeah, let’s go."
"No perfume or body spray?" Nanny Samantha asked as I tried to leave the room.
"I... Sure," I went to my perfume collection, selected one, and spread it behind my ear before leaving.
I don’t spray perfume all the time, not because I don’t want to, but because the brothers don’t like it. They said spraying too much perfume masks my original scent.
They love sniffing me. They love my natural scent, so whenever I spray perfume, I try to keep it minimal. I don’t overspray; I only do so on days when I’m mad.
Ruby and I left for the parking lot; when we got there, we met Willa standing beside the vehicle. An older man was standing close to her.
What’s happening? Who is he?
I stopped before them and fixed my gaze on him.
He is an aged man. Is he my new driver?
"Good morning, Ms. I’ve been dreaming of meeting you." He extended his hand and held mine.
"Pleasure to meet you too," I replied, shaking his hand, but the man covered my hands with his, refusing to let go.
I don’t think Willa is seeing this.
Why is he caressing my hands?
I pulled my hands away and stepped back.
"I’m Ben; I’ll be your driver from now on," he introduced.
He is a pervert. How can a pervert be my driver?
