The Precious Nanny | Cristiano Ronaldo

Chapter 15 - new life

Melissa

My mind is still struggling to process the fact I'm with Cristiano Ronaldo having dinner at his luxious restaurant in Madrid.

Not even mentioning it being one of the most expensive one here.

I was still in some way attempting to get over the hatred I felt towards him and here I am, accepting a job offer at his freaking house.

But I make sure to remind myself that the only reason why I'm doing this is Junior, I know he would never have come to me if he wasn't really in need. I'm worried now, I mean, I was already before, but now... If working there is the only way I can see him, I'll throw my pride aside this time.

I finish my dinner with some hardship, with the amount of cutlery on the table, I struggled knowing which one to use, so I simply opted for the fork and the knife, which seemed to be the only normal thing on this table.

Cristiano ends soon after.

"Finished?"- He gets up from the table.

"Aren't you going to pay?"

"I don't need to, like I said, I own this" He speaks earnestly but I see a smirk at the corner of his mouth. Which makes me roll my eyes.

I feel that people are glaring at me, they know that by the way I'm dressing, or even by the way I walk, I do not belong here.

Maybe they're looking at both of us. No, that's impossible. Obviously they know that someone as important as Cristiano Ronaldo would never, in a million years go out with someone like me.

Why am I thinking about this now?

After eternal minutes in the car we arrived at my flat, he parks the car at the door and switches it off.

"Tomorrow, be there."

"Yes but there's a problem."

"For God's sake, Melissa, what else do I have to do? You're simply going to work there, you're not going into war. What's bothering you? Sleeping there? I told you, your sister can come with you, Can you stop complaining now?" He turns to me and pulls his hair, his eyes focus on me and I can see the desperation in them.

"I was just going to ask you to write down the address. I don't have it anymore." As soon as I explain, he seems to calm down and looks forward again.

"Toni will pick you up, tomorrow at half past eight, be ready."-

I don't dare to argue with him, I simply agree, and get out of the car, the engine starts as soon as I close the door. I go into the building, and run up the stairs, to avoid Miss Gloria's unnecessary questions.

"Where did you go? I was worried." Amanda asks me as I open the door. After closing it and locking it, I sit down beside her still questioning if this really just happened.

"Is my sister still sleeping?" She nods in agreement. "You're unemployed, right?"

"Yes, I looked for a job yesterday all day but Didn't have much luck. Why? "

"I know of a pet shop that's hiring. You're going to love it."

In some weird way I'm literally transferring the life I lived all this time over to her, this place, the pet shop... But it reckon it will be good for her, just like it was for me. When my time at his house is over, I'll get another job.

I have to pack our few things now, tomorrow I won't have time to do that. But before that I have to think of a way to inform them both about this sudden change.
