CHAPTER THREE
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.
