"IT'S IN HERE." Junior exclaimed as he held my hand, leading me into a new room.

"It's so big," I say as I stand behind the large island. I swipe my finger across its surface. "And clean."

"Can I have ice cream?" He asked as I lifted him into a short seat, seating him right across from me.

"I don't think you'd usually eat ice cream for breakfast." I say as I raise a brow.

"How would you know?"

"Because I know a good parent would most likely not feed their child sweets first thing in the morning." I say.

He pouts, sticking out his bottom lip and I laugh.

"What do you usually eat for breakfast? For real." I ask as I look around the spotless kitchen, looking for ingredients.

"My old nanny made the maids make me toast." He said. I tilt my head to the side.

"And..?" I signal for him to continue.

"Water." He finishes. My eyes widen at the fact that this person made Junior eat toast and drink water for breakfast.

"Ever since she's worked here?" I ask. He nods. "How long was she working here?"

"Since I grew teeth." He said as he stuck his fingers in his mouth, stretching the sides to show off his pearly whites.

"Okay that's horrible and," I lightly grab his small wrist and gently tug on it, removing his fingers from his mouth. "Don't put your hands in your mouth unless they're clean."

"Sorry." He giggles.

I look at him and frown.

He's been underfed on the most important meal of the day for so long, I should make a big breakfast for him.

"Junior, how old are you?" I ask as I grab a small cook book from a cabinet, flipping through it to look for something filling.

"I'm this many!" He said. I looked up to see him holding up three fingers on each hand.

"You're so cute." I mumble.

"What smells so good?" A new voice asked as I watched Junior eat the food I had been cooking for the last 30 minutes.

"Royal made me breakfast!" He shouted with a mouth full of eggs.

"Don't speak with your mouth full." I tell him and he shuts his mouth and continues slowly chewing.

"It smells delicious. What'd you make?" Juniors grandmother asked as she stood behind the stove, looking at the rest of the food.

"I made scrambled eggs, French toast and bacon." I said as I glanced at her then back at Junior. "And a glass of orange juice."

"I didn't know you knew how to cook." She said as she picked at the bacon.

"Yeah well you never asked. No one here asks me much. Especially if I want to look after a kid." I mumbled the last part.

"Well it's a good trait." She turns around and looks at me. "You look good. I guess my son dressed you up."

"This outfit is unprofessional." I say as I pull the coat closer to my body.

"Would you like to speak to him about it?" She asked.

I was about to refuse. If I was actually going to work here, I would want to avoid that man as much as possible. As much as I hate to admit it, he intimidates me.

I've never met a man who could break down someone's soul with just a stare. I would've been perfectly fine if I had lived the rest of my live without having to meet one.

The sound of glass lightly hitting the counter top pulled me out of my head.

"Before you say anything, Prince wanted breakfast." She stated with a sweet smile. "I'll look after this little trouble maker until you get back."

I looked down at the eggshell white plate that held a little bit of everything.

"Why do I have to do it?" I asked as I looked at her.

"He said he wanted you to give it to him."

"Don't you guys have maids can't one of them just-" I argued but was immediately cut off when she stood me up and placed the plate delicately in my hands.

"Now, now. Hurry up, he gets impatient when he has to wait." She warned. I would've thought she was mad at me by her tone if it wasn't for the subtle wink she gave me.

"Well I can't- I don't even know where it is." I said as I was about to put the plate down. In one swift motion she turned me around and lightly shoved me forward.

"It's down the hall, take a left then a right and keep walking until you see a large door." She said.

"Bye bye Royal!" Junior said as he waved at me. I scoffed as I started walking.

He's in on this too.
