Author's Pov

A week has been passed and Neymar already got released from the hospital, as for today will be Alana's first day as the world's famous footballer caregiver (re:babysitter) and deep inside she's trying to convince herself that it is not the decision she regrets at all. Alana groans at the thought of her having to get up early every morning and corrupting her free times–in which she rarely has it–to take care of someone who can't even forgive her for the mistakes she did a while ago.

Luckily, Rafaella had adjusted Alana's work schedule to make appearances at her brother house only on every Friday until weekend so it won't interfere Alana's college schedule. Alana feels very thankful for the Santos family because by only working there, the weekly salary she has now is more than a 12 hours work at every part time jobs she took. They also gave Alana some extra pocket money for her transport billing and dinner foods to order, so she tell herself  that there should be nothing to complained about—except about the Neymar himself.

This morning, Alana decided to make a use of her old 1965 Ford Mustang to drive to Neymar's mansion at Bougival. At the beginning of her road trip, the car was fine until she had to take the inclined road and that's when her car starting to act up. She spent all the 30 minutes she had to pass that road, when she could've easily done it in 5 minutes with a proper car. Due to this annoying tragedy, Alana doesn't have a choice but to make another bad impression on her first day of work. She arrived at Neymar's house late and the second she stepped into the front door, Neymar was already there.

"What's that hideous thing you are driving?" He squint his eyes at the sight of unfamiliar car with his judging glance, especially when she park it in line with Neymar's another Ferrari.

"My car?" Alana turned her face back to see if the hideous thing Neymar was talking about is her car. "Did you just..."

"Next time you came here don't bring that Mustang again, i don't like to see an ugly sight at my collection hall."

Alana gagged at herself with the sight of cocky Neymar in front of her eyes. She can't believe Neymar will be like one of those men she seen everyday on campus, that likes to brag about their expensive car collection and degrading other people below their economy levels.

What an unpleasant way to start a work, she thought. Alana almost curse at the man in front of her until she saw Rafaella come into the scene with a male nurse tagging her along. Alana couldn't help but stealing a glance when she realizes that Neymar's nurse has one attractive face that she has to looked at everyday. Rafaella introduced them to each other and Alana found his name is beautiful, Ali. Ali and Alana, maybe working here is not that bad. She grins at the intrusive thought of herself again, before she found Neymar's eyes were pierced on her.

"Basically, you just have to assist Ali's job whenever he's not around. Don't worry! He will be the one that's doing the hard work such as taking care of Neymar physically."

"What about his 'toilet' activities?" Alana asked quietly, because she knew Neymar will snapped again when he knows Alana care to ask about that stuff.

"It's also Ali's and another helper works."

Alana sighs in relieved. Then, Rafaella is taking Alana on a house tour to make sure she noticed every single corner of that mansion, so she won't get lost. First she get into the spacious living room that can held up capacity of 20 people there to party, even at the left side of the room there's a huge wine cabinet—even though Alana is not sure if it's really a real wine or decoration. Next, they walked into some kind of Hall of Achievements where she can spot a lot of awards and photographs from Neymar's latest achievement that were standing on many shelves in one hallway, and she knew it so well that Neymar really took a pride for it.
