Chapter Eight : Who Wants A Nanny (2/2)
” You ladies have your fun while I go have mine” He said, kissed the back of my hand and disappeared through the crowd before Emily could protest
”What's wrong?” I asked concerned over the worried lines forming on her face.It was obvious whatever Eden said had a negative effect on her
”Trust me when I say whatever Eden's up to, it isn't good especially with Nik around here” She explained straining her neck higher to get a sight of Eden amidst the crowd
”Nik?” I asked surprised ”what's going on between Nik and Eden?”
Great, curious me! I totally forgot mission 'leave the Spenser's alone '
”Long story but you've got to help me find them before we have a war in our hands” She said taking my hand and dragging me through the crowd.
”I can't even imagine what my papa was thinking bringing the both of them together” Emily murmured as we pushed and shoved through the crowd
”How are we going to find your brother in the midst of this large number of peo....”
”They're relations and friends moreover Nik mentioned earlier about finding my dad so Eden must have headed there too so.....”
”Oh no” I gasped earning a ”what?” From Emily.I tilted my head sideway directing her to a spectacular scene murmuring ”I think World War Three is about to begin”
Nik and Eden stood facing eachother,Nik a deadly glare on his face with his fist folded prepared to attack while Eden stood with an arrogant and satisfied smirk on his face.
”This is bad, we have to do something” Emily cried out while I stared shell shocked, getting in between them was equivalent to getting in between two angry lions .
But my brain wasn't thinking cause next I knew I found myself in between them introducing myself to Nik's father .
”Maya sir” I said extending my hand for a handshake which he gladly accepted
”I'm Adam Spencer and don't be too polite cause I'm a casual being” He said flashing me a smile that was too friendly or too fake to be friendly
”Alright Mr Adam” I agreed flashing back a smile trying not to show how nervous I am or the fact my palm was sweating.
”So Maya ,have we met before?” Adam asked but before I could open my mouth and explain I was nobody, but here on behalf of his son , an answer made itself known or rather two answers
”She's my dat....”
”Isabelle's Nanny” Nik interjected
”What?” Everyone said, my self included.
What just happened? I'm whose nanny? Was that the job he said wasn't illegal? A nanny?
”A nanny for Izzy? you gotta be kidding me?” Eden spat not believing his ears.
It was obvious he didn't expect such a heavy blow from him.I just turned from his date to Izzy's nanny ? he definitely wasn't going to stand for that
” Yes Eden” Nik answered with a smirk ”I'm taking my daughter Isabelle back with me so she needs a nanny as agreed by my father”
Oh, now I remembered.I totally forgot Nik was a single dad.
And judging from the look on Adam's face, I could tell he has no idea what his son's talking about so, it was obvious Nik set him up to make it seem like he betrayed Eden by turning his date into his granddaughter's nanny.
Such a good plan, Nik was definitely revenging on Eden.
”Oh please” Eden scoffed ” We all know Izzy's a rude brat so why don't Maya come nanny for Annabelle instead ? ”
”You mean your spoiled brat who've fired over a dozen nannies? What makes you think she won't fire Maya on sight?” Nik attacked while I stared speechless.
So not only does Nik has a daughter but Eden has one too? Isabelle and Annabelle? just what in the world was going on here?
But wait a minute, it's me they're talking here. Me ! Why is no one taking my opinion into account?
”I'll pay you double what he's going to pay” Eden announced jerking me out of my thought, he's definitely not near the word called 'giving up'
”A million dollars Maya , think carefully” Nik announced as my jaw dropped. A million dollars just to hire a nanny?
”Three million” Eden added leaving me speechless.
What the hell was wrong with this guys ? Do they pluck money from a tree? Not that I'm complaining about the money though.
”Six million ” Nik bided as if I was some ancient artifact worth millions of dollars.
Guilty as charged, I was enjoying this show and all I was missing was a comfortable sofa, a bowl of popcorn and a fizzy drink at my side.
”Eight million” Eden finally announced and there was a long silence.
It seemed as if Nik couldn't bid further, maybe he've just found out I'm not worth such huge amount of money.
But when everyone thought everything was over , Nik said out of nowhere
” Twenty million dollars ” and the whole place went dead silent.
There was no more chatter, everything and eveyone went still . A corner of my lips twitch upwards and a smile found itself on my lips.
That was Nik, the man with the ability to make the whole world stop, I knew there was no way Eden was going to beat that.
