CHAPTER TWO
ALEXA'S
Ever since Cody told me what his plans were, my mind keeps on going over the places. I mean I think his idea is crazy but what he added to it was crazier.
"Babe!!"
"Babe, come look at this!" Cody's urgent call snapped me out of my thoughts and I quickly moved to the direction I heard him calling me from.
"What is it?" I asked as I walked towards him.
"The Brown's are in need of workers. There is a vacancy up for some positions, this is what I have been waiting for" he yelled excitedly.
"So, you're going to apply?" I asked with an arched brow
"No, I can't possibly apply to be a Nanny or do any job in the Brown's mansion, it's too risky" he said and I rolled my eyes.
"Then what?" I asked.
"You. You would apply for the position of a Nanny and then provide the necessary information to us, you will be our eyes in there" he said
"What! You can't be serious" I said and looked at his face for a hint of mischief as I thought it was one of his jokes, but the expression he was wearing said he was dead serious. I don't think I can do this, I have assisted Cody and his friends a lot of times but I haven't done something like this before.
"I don't think I can do this, it's just too…" Cody placed his hands on my shoulder.
"Come on, we've discussed this already" he said and I sighed.
"I thought perhaps another idea could come up, you know but now I just can't…"
"Babe, trust me on this okay" he said and I sighed before nodding.
He did the necessary things for the application and it didn't take long before my cell phone rang
"Hello! I'm on to Miss Alexa Martin?" A female voice asked
"Yes you are, who I'm I on to?" I asked back
"You recently applied for a job as a Nanny in the Brown's mansion" she said
"Oh yes, I did ma'am" I replied
"Babe, who are you…" Cody was saying but I quickly motioned him to keep quiet using some facial expressions and then whispered
"The Anthony's" That made him smile ear to ear
"Alright, so you're expected to come for your interview in two hours, I'll text you the address, Thank you" She said and hung up just before I asked my next question
"Wow! That was rude, is that how I would be treated if I eventually got the job" I complained, and then turned to meet the expectant look in Cody's eyes
"So…did you get the job?" He asked
"Chill man! I was only called for an interview in two hours" I replied which made him frown a little, but then it was replaced by another smile almost immediately
"I know and trust that you can Ace it, you're intelligent after all" he said and pinched my shoulder playfully
"I would try my best" Was all I said and went to get prepared for the 'interview'
*****************
Knock knock
"Hello! How may I help you?" A man in his late thirties said as soon as he opened the door
"Um…I'm here for a job interview sir" I answered with a smile
"Oh! I'm guessing you're Miss Alexa Martin" he said and I nodded
"Come in and have a sit" he said pointing to the couch
"Thanks sir " I said and he smiled, he is such a nice man
"I would go and inform the boss about your arrival" he said and moved towards a door which I assumed was the study room
After few minutes he came to me and said that Mr Anthony Brown was ready to see me
I was so nervous, knowing fully well what my mission was and also because I would be meeting the Almighty Anthony Brown for the first time in my life
I knocked on the door and a Serene voice said
"Come in"
"Good morning sir" I greeted with a slight bow, though I didn't see him as his chair was facing the opposite direction
My greeting made him turn to my direction and my jaws dropped, at how incredibly good looking he was, for a man his game it was just too amazing
I was engrossed and dazed that I didn't hear him call my attention
"Miss Alexa, can you hear me?" He said in a soft tune, the least I expected
He was the exact opposite of what I had pictured in my mind
"I'm so sorry Sir…. I…I…" I stuttered, not knowing the words to use in explaining myself
"So?" He cocked his perfectly shaped brows at me and I almost fainted at how perfect he was.
"Did you get any of those things I said?" He asked
"Forgive my manners sir, but I…I didn't, I'm really sorry" I said scratching the back of my head and he sighed
He was so patient, I myself would find whoever acted the way I did as an unserious individual and there by not suitable
"There are not many things to ask though, but why do you think you're suitable for this job?" He asked and relaxed himself on the chair maintaining a strong eye contact with me
I cleared my throat and adjusted myself on the sit
"Umm, I think I'm suitable for this job because I love children a lot and I relate well with them, when I was a little younger, I usually helped my aunt with the children in the day care she managed" I said
"Though this is my first ever job as a Nanny, but I know I can handle kids with utmost care" I added and he just stared at me for some minutes
"You weren't informed?" He suddenly asked
"Informed about what sir?" I asked with a confused look
"Before you applied for the job, didn't you see anything about the age of the 'child' you would be taking care of?" He asked making sure that he stressed the word 'child'
And that got me more confused than ever, or could it be that I was to take care of an oldie, I asked myself
But no information was given as to whom I'll be taking care of
"No sir, there was nothing related to whom I'll be Nannieng" I replied
"Alright then, you're to Nanny a twenty two years old man" he said keeping a straight face, but I couldn't help but burst into laughter
"A twenty two years old? That's ridicu…I'm sincerely sorry sir" I said seeing that he was just staring at me
"It's just that, how can twenty two years old be nannied?" I asked, feeling the urge to laugh again but I suppressed it
"Are you ready to take this job?" He asked, looking calm as ever
"Yes I am sir" I answered with a serious facial expression
"Good, but before then, can you handle him? He is jerk" He asked again
"And how old are you? You look eighteen" He added while giving me an up to down look
"I'm twenty one sir" I replied a little upset about
"I would have preferred someone older, cause like I said, he is a jerk" he said and I couldn't help but feel upset
He didn't have to say that to me though, but what can I say, I'm the one in need of a job
"I can deal with it sir, our age difference is not so much, so I think we can relate well with each other" I replied trying to convince him that I could do the job
"Alright then, I'll get back to you," he said and turned back the chair to what he was doing before I came in
"Alright Thank you sir" I said and left
