After saying goodbye to the Ross kids one last time, Jessie enters the lobby through the elevator.

That's when all of a sudden, someone jumps out of the chairs in the lobby and approaches her.

"Hey, Jessie!"

When Jessie recognizes the man wearing a blue hoodie and jeans in front of her, she doesn't seem too happy. "Oh, it's you."

However, her expression changes into a happier one. "Although, you are the one person that I actually won't miss once I move to LA."

She starts to walk away from him.

"Well, I'll miss you, bro-cita."

At those words, Jessie immediately stops. She remains frozen for a second before turning back around.

This time, her smile is more genuine. "That's sweet of you to say, Hudson - But don't expect me to say that I'll miss you because I really won't."

Hudson chuckles. "It's fine. I just wanted to tell you goodbye before you left. I'm really happy that your dream has come true."

Jessie smiles as she thinks about how she finally got her big break. "Yeah, I'm really happy about that too."

Jessie sighs. "Well, I should probably get to the airport now."

Jessie then realizes something. "Hey, there's something I want you to have."

She takes a book out of her purse and hands it to Hudson.

He looks at it. "What's this?"

"My old nanny handbook. I put my own set of notes in there, you know, things that I learned from taking care of the kids. I figure that you need it a lot more than I do."

Hudson begins to get emotional as tears fill his eyes. "Wow, Jessie, this means a lot. Thank you so much!"

"Whoa!" Jessie yelps as Hudson grabs her in a hug. Jessie opens her mouth, planning on telling Hudson to get away from her - But then, she looks at him and begins to smile before hugging him back.

"No problem." Jessie says before the two part from each other.

Hudson looks directly into her eyes. "I know you have to go and live your dreams, but I really will miss you."

Jessie stares at him for a moment.

"Give me your phone."

Hudson looks a bit confused, but nonetheless, he gives the redhead his phone.

Jessie types something in the phone before giving it back to Hudson.

"That's my number. Feel free to call me if you need any extra nannying advice."

Hudson then looks at Jessie with awe. "You - you actually gave me your number?"

Jessie then looks at him with a strict look on her face. "Don't get any ideas, buddy. I only gave you my number so that you have a responsible adult to talk to in case you set your apartment on fire or something."

Hudson playfully smiles at her. "Sure, right, you only gave me your number to help me and not at all because you miss me and still want to hear the sound of my beautiful voice no matter how far apart we are."

Jessie glares at Hudson. "See? This is why I won't miss you."

"Aw, of course, you'll miss me. They always miss me." Hudson gives her a smirk.

Jessie rolls her eyes, but then the look of annoyance turns into one of happiness. "Goodbye, Hudson. Don't burn down the penthouse again while I'm gone."

"Please, I've come a long way since then, bro-cita." Hudson goes to lean confidently on the doorman's desk, but his hand slips on a piece of paper and he almost falls down.

The scene makes Jessie laugh before she finally leaves the lobby.

Maybe she will miss that crazy man more than she ever thought she would.
