Babysitting The Billionaire’s Adult Son

“You’re hired.” Harley Carr, the interviewer says to Melanie as soon as she was called out amidst the crowd of people that had came for interviews.

With smile on her face, Melanie joined her palm together and smile warmly at the lady in front of her.

“Thank you very much, ms,” Melanie says with a beautiful smile glued to her face.

“I think the person you should be thanking is your friend” Harley says and Melanie nodes her head in affirmation.

“Yes, if not because of her that told me about the offer I wouldn’t have known anything about it” Melanie mumbles, smiling brightly.

‘She has no idea what her friend actually did’ Harley thought and shakes her head.

Harley smiles shortly and pick her phone from the office table. She put a call across to the guy in charge of the post.

“We’ve chosen the competent one, discard the rest.” Harley says to the receiver with so much authoritative and hangs up the call shortly.

Harley opens the drawer and brings out a blueprint, she drops it on the table and gaze at Melanie who has a confused look plaster on her face.

“What is the problem? Are you finding the job uninteresting or what.” Harley asks warmly and Melanie shakes her head negatively.

“That’s not it.” Melanie says and Harley stares at her, ushering her to let out her mind.

Melanie smiles nervously “I’m just confused that you only asked of my name and who registered me. You didn’t interview me neither did you make me undergo any physical practical. I’m surprised that it was me that you picked eventually.” Melanie lets out the tons of questions that has been bothering her since she got to the auditorium.

“You’re lucky. That’s all I can say to you.” Harley says picking up the blueprint and hand it over to Melanie.

Melanie carefully collect it from her and scan through the front page. She gets surprise as her name is scribe on it.

‘Is this how fast they work, or there’s someone from higher up that’s helping me?’ Melanie thought as a light sighs escape her mouth.

“I’ll ask the driver drop you at the mansion with the company’s vehicle. I’m afraid he’ll have to drop you at the gate and you’ll have to find your way in by yourself.” Harley says and Melanie opens her mouth in shock.

“How am I supposed to go in by myself? Do you not think that’s a little bit ludicrous?” Melanie asks still feeling the rise and fall of his broken heart.

“No one is allowed to enter into the mansion. The mansion is prohibited that no one can not enter inside without any solid reason.

Melanie mouths an ‘Oh’ even though she still finds it a bit disturbing.

“When should I commence?” Melanie asks and the lady stares at her with confused look.

She scoffs and moves her head backwards, resting her head on the backrest.

“We’re instructed that the babysitter must commence work after interview. Didn’t you came prepare?” she asks and Melanie finds herself sighing at what the lady says.

“Never knew they’re in a haste.” Melanie let out truthfully.

Harley curls her mouth in a smirk and moves closer to Melanie a little bit.

“Here’s a tip for you…

Melanie clutch tight at her bag as the lock the door of her apartment. She had came with the company’s driver to take her stuff as promised by the Secretary.

She didn’t bother to take much stuff as she was told that she would be given a wardrobe full of dresses in the mansion.

“I’m really.” she says to the driver as soon as she steps inside the vehicle.

He nodes his head and carefully drives out of the apartment.

Melanie couldn’t get her mind off what the lady had told her early.

‘From what I’ve heard, My Gordon might seems cool on the outside but he’s a devil inside.’

Melanie recollect what the lady said and couldn’t help but to sigh audibly.

Melanie looks out of the window and she feels a drop of tears from her left eyes.

‘If not because of the debt, she wouldn’t have agreed to take the job’ she thought and close her lids as different thoughts runs on her mind.

‘You’re to just keep an eye on the son and report to the father his daily activities.’ Melanie still couldn’t point out what the lady meant by that.

‘Isn’t the child she’s going to babysit a kid? Why must she report the daily activities of the infant to his father?’ she thought and decided to wave it off her brain.

The steady horns of the vehicle jots Melanie out of her thoughts and she stares at the driver, wondering why he’s doing such a despicable act.

“We are here.” he says and she mouths an ‘Oh’ when it down to her that they’re finally at the mansion.

She opens the vehicle door and step down from the vehicle not forgetting to take out her bag as well.

The driver wishes her luck and speeds off without looking back.

‘Everyone is acting strange about this. Do they all hate the man?’ she thoughts and moves closer to the front gate.

She presses on the doorbell and no one answers from inside.

Just then her phone starts vibrating and she carefully take it out of her purse.

It was a message from an unknown number. She click on the message and it contains some digits.

Pondering on who might have sent the message and what the message might mean, another message pops on her screen and she debate whether or not to open the message.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

She clicks on the message and it reads…

‘Those are the passcode to the entry. Unlock it and come inside.’ Melanie read it out loudly and didn’t waste second to punch the digits on the pass. The makes a beeps and it unlock.

She enters into the company and she couldn’t help the gasp that escaped her mouth.

The surroundings was as silent as a grave yard. And that’s what makes the mansion cool.

The building was made with pure gem and it screams ‘wealth’ into Melanie’s ears.

She clutches tight at the bag in her hand and her mouth droop in awe.

The waterfall at the side of the building calls out to her and of course she honour the invitation.

She drags her legs stylishly towards the waterfall and she stretches out her free hand to collect the drops of water.

“This is heaven on earth.” Melanie couldn’t help but to compliment the house and its richness.

She giggles loudly as she splash the water left to right. She’s too engrossed in her play that she couldn’t feel the presence of someone besides her.

“All that glitter is not gold. Some shines bright like a fireball but it’s a devil’s abode” a fragile voice says besides Melanie and she nodded her head in excitement.

“I’ve lived all my life in godly yet a destitute home. It’s my first time being in a moneyed mansion, who cares if it’s devil’s abode or a thumb hole?” Melanie scoffs and rolls her eyeballs at the imaginary voices.

“I can see that you’re pretty eager to die.” the voice says again Melanie hastily turns a gaze to the direction and she gasped when she sees a boy of about 13years old walks out of the building.

“Who are you? Excuse me.” Melanie tries calling out to him but he doesn’t seem like he’s ready for a petty conversation.

“Are you the new babysitter?” A palm grips at her shoulder and Melanie jumps in fright.

She slowly turns her face to where the voice is coming from and she let her bag falls freely from her hand at the sight in front of her.
