Made for each other

Chapter 3

It was finally Monday, and Olivia woke up super early to get ready for her first day at work, she had to be there by 9am, so she left the house, took the train and went to the address that had been sent to her by SMS. When she got there, she was amazed by the building on the Upper West Side and the neighborhood, which was much nicer than her small apartment.
The doorman opened the door and gave her a smile, which she returned. She entered the building, in a very expensive lobby, quickly straightened her pants and blazer and went to speak to the lady at reception.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" said the woman in a friendly voice
"Hi, I'm here to meet Mrs. Smith?" I said
"Oh yes, she said she'd be here, the nanny, right?" she said with a smile.
"Yes," I nodded.
"You'll love it, their daughter is very sweet, take the elevator to the 27th floor, when you get there it's the last door," she said.
"Okay, thanks," I smiled
"May I know your name?" she asked
"Of course, Olivia Benson," I said nervously.
"Okay, nice to meet you, Olivia, I'm Mary. Take a deep breath, darling, you'll be fine," she said with a supportive smile.
"Thanks, Mary," I said, more relaxed.

I get into the elevator and press the button for the 27th floor. I get there and go to the last door, take a deep breath and knock. The door opens immediately.

"Thank God you're here"
"Hi, hi," says the slim, tall woman with blonde hair and very blue eyes frantically
She looks at her watch: "Oh, you're early, I love that. Come in!
She doesn't even look at me, she's looking at her cell phone and doing a quick scroll, and I say:

"I've brought my resume and references, I thought you'd like to see it, since we haven't met and you haven't asked for an interview"
"Sure, leave it on the counter, I'll look at it later, I have to go". And with that she leaves and I stand stunned in the middle of the apartment. Moments later, I hear little feet running towards the house and a sweet voice saying "Mom" and I come back from my shock when the pretty little girl, with the most blonde hair and blue eyes, stands there in front of me

"Who are you?" she asks suspiciously
"Hi, I'm Olivia, your new nanny," I say with a smile.
"Hi I'm Emma, nice to meet you" she smiled
"It's nice to meet you too, Emma," I smile at her cuteness.
"Have you seen my mommy?" she asks.
"She's already left" I say and her smile falls.
"Oh okay... do you want to see my playroom?" she asks.
"Of course I do," I say excitedly and she takes my hand and smiles.
"Come on," she says.
She takes me to her playroom and I'm really amazed, her playroom is bigger than my living room and has the most toys I've ever seen, it looks like a toy store.
"Can I call you Livvie? " she asks with a pout
"Yes sweetie " she smiles, remembering the only person who would call her that.
"Livvie, do you want to color with me?" she asks.
"Of course, sweetheart " I say

We play all day and when it gets late, her mother is nowhere to be seen. I start to worry because I need to get home and her mother isn't answering her phone. After an hour of trying, she picks up and, from the sound of the call, she's in a nightclub. She tells me to take Emma to her brother's house and hangs up without giving me his address.

"What's wrong, Livvie?" she asks.
"Your mother told me to drop you off at your brother's house, but she didn't give me the address," I reply.
"It's okay, Livvie, I know the address and so does the driver," she says calmly
"Okay, let me just make a bag for you.

With that, I make her a bag and take it to the car, asking the driver to take us to her brother's house. When we get there, I get Emma out of the car, carry her to the door and knock on it.
