The Billionaire's Nanny

Asshole

I stood there in the study, trying to endure one of the most embarrassing moments. This was even more embarrassing than the time a dog had chased me all around the hotel where I worked before taking the job. At least, then it was an animal, and the owner apologized profusely after I had fallen into the pool and was drenched.

This jerk did not even bother giving me a second glance before dismissing me so coldly. Who the hell did he think he was? From the study, I could hear the muffled noises of their argument from down the hallway. I leaned into the door to hear better.

"What the hell is wrong with you Lucas? It took me so long to find someone so perfect for the kids, and now you're about to screw it up." Mia yelled at her brother. Her tone dripped with anger and frustration.

"I don't care," Lucas snapped back, "get her out of my house and find someone else."

"Lucas," she scolded. "she's the first nanny the kids accepted without a fight."

"We'll find someone else. For now, get that piece of shit out of my house, I can't fucking stand her."

'Piece...of...shit...' only that phrase stood out in my brain.

I repeated it slowly again and again in my head, and the more I did, the more anger I felt.

That was the last straw. The asshole did not even bother to whisper. But I did not have to stand there and listen to this entitled dumbass run me down when he barely knew me. I picked up my bag and left the study, heading for the front door.

I felt bad that I had to leave without fulfilling my promise of saying goodbye to Aiden and Abigail, but if I had to stay here and listen to that jerk for a few more moments, bad things would happen to that handsome face.

As I stepped out of the study, I crossed one door, and in the next room, they were both standing still arguing.

"Mia, I do not like her, go and show her out." He said and turned his back to the door.

Mia looked confused and really upset.

"Don't worry your poor head. I think I can show myself out." My voice startled both of them, although Lucas recovered much faster from the shock than Mia.

Mia's shocked face is quickly replaced by embarrassment, Lucas does not do so much as flinch. He just continues to stare at me with his cold mean eyes. I wanted to tell him how much of an asshole he was, but I didn't. I would not waste my breath on an asshole like him. I adjusted my bag on my shoulder, and squared my shoulders, and continued walking to the door.

"Chris, please wait, " Mia called after me from the room where she stood with her brother.

"Let her go," that was the last thing I heard before I pulled the door open and walked out.

"No way, he didn't," Celine's eyes widened in anger and surprise as we folded the towels for the room we were cleaning.

"Hell yeah, he did."

Celine and I had been best friends since we first met at foster care. She had stood up for me by punching Michael Garrett—the biggest bully at the care— in the nuts for pushing me into the mud. While I sat in the pool of mud, crying my eyes out, Celine whom I had never spoken to then came from nowhere, almost the same size and the same age as me, jumped in curled her fingers and gave him a hard punch in the nuts. It was so worth it because, although we had both spent a whole day in detention, the asshole learned his lesson and never came after us again.
