Forbidden Temptress (book 1 in The Nanny Affairs)

CHAPTER 11

LUNA'S POV :

One morning, a knock at my bedroom door interrputs my morning routine. I stare at my surprise guest uncertainty.....

"As, we need to talk. I know what happened at the company picnic".

"Y-you do?", I asked her nervously.

Crap crap crap! I thought Silas and I were careful! How did she find out?

"Yes, Luciano told me all about the conversation the two of you had".

Wait Luciano?

"Well, he didn't tell me all about it. He kept the details pretty vague", she gave me a long look.

"But I heard enough to know Luciano was way out of line, and I just want to reassure you that I told him as much. He won't bother you like that again".

Ohh... So she doesn't know about what happened between me and Silas while we were cleaning up.... She thinks this is all about Luciano.

okay relax Lu and take a deep breath.

"Sofia. Thank you for taking to Luciano for me".

"You don't have to do that, and I appreciate it. I admit, I've been a little shaken up by our conversation", I awkwardly look around my room.

"It was my pleasure. Don't tell anyone, but I do love putting Luciano in his place. Every now and again", she beams.

"Anyways, now that that little bit of unpleasantness is taken care of... we can talk about why I'm really here".

"I know we don't always see eye-to-eye. I forget sometimes how intimidating I can be to insecure younger women. But I could really use your help".

Excuse me!?

Insecure? And me from whom this plastic bimbo.

Yay that's why your fiancee wants to fuck me.

"Seriously? How could I possibly help you?", I plaster a smile on my face.

"I know, it does seem odd, doesn't it".

"There's an important charity gala this weekend, and I'll never be ready in time without the help of an assistant", she sighs

"Unfortunately, my current assistant is on maternity leave right now. So selfish and irresponsible", she scowls

"Having a family can be demanding too. You'll find that out if you marry Silas".

I pause for a moment at my words. I realize too late that I said 'if ', but Sofia doesn't seem to notice as she waves my corner.

"Yes, family is important, but in this particular instance, business is even more important. I need to be at my best for this event".

"Silas tolds me it's fine if you took the day off to assist me since he already has plans with the boys. Meet me at this address in an hour".

Sofia offers me a business card....

"Okay....see you then", I awkwardly nod my head.

"I knew you were a team player! I'll see you there!"

Sofia smacks a kiss on my cheek and strolls away. I sigh, looking down at the business card in my hand.

"A full day of Sofia. Whoops.. "

I hear another knock at my door. I brace myself for whatever Sofia forgot, but then glance up to see Silas poking his head in.

"Is it safe to come in"
