Nanny Affair

Chapter three

LISA COLMAN

I have been waiting for at least thirty minutes for Mr. Smith to get out of the meeting he was in at the lobby. The woman at the desk has been giving me dirty looks since I sat down and I see her whispering to some other girl who has been standing with her for almost twenty minutes

After a few minutes of ignoring her, a group of men and women walk out of what looks like the conference room and soon enough the woman at the desk calls for me

"Yes," I say when I get to her desk

"Mr. Smith has asked to see you in the conference room," She says not caring to look at me. I don't care to say thank you coz she has been seemingly rude so I just walk to the room. A light knock is answered by a muffled come in

"The view here is beautiful," He says when I get to where he was standing

"It is," I say smiling fighting the anxiety that is ready to devour me. He turns and looks at me and I almost lose my balance. His brown eyes lock with mine for a second before he walks to his chair and sits

"Have a seat," He says, "You are Lisa," he continues as I take my seat

"Yes," I answer not sure why he would ask that when we just met yesterday. He must be a very busy person then

"How are you?" He asks again leaning back on his chair and locking his fingers together his gaze still on me

"Am good sir," I say calmly. The way hes looking at me is making me think things, things I shouldnt be thinking when am trying to get him to give me a job

"So am gonna do a small interview with you right now but am not quite sure Ill complete it though because.." He pauses and looks at his watch "I have another meeting in about forty five minutes,"

I look at him not sure of what to say so I just nod

"You're really nervous Lisa, calm down. I don't bite," He says now placing his forearms on the large table and looking at me a smirk on his face

The things Id let him do to me!! NoI cant be thinking something like this. Think of something fast..a naked grandma..no thats disgusting

"Are you alright, you look...

"Am fine, just super nervous," I brush it off and add a smile. He looks at me not quite believing me but he goes on

"So I saw in one of your documents that you are done with your engineering degree, how come you want a nanny job?"

I take a deep breath fighting all my dirty thoughts

"Well am still waiting for my license so I can start looking for a job and I needed a job to earn some money and keep myself busy," I say shocked at how calm I sound

"Oh okay. But why a nanny?"

"Am great with kids and am sure I could do this job well and it was also the only chance I had of getting a job," I say

"Okay, you sound really confident with what you are saying," He says chuckling. His voice is deep but his laugh is even deeper.

"I am,"

"Okay so what would you do if my daughter really got herself into some kind of accident?"

"First aid of course as I call you and then we can decide what's next. That is if it's a big accident but for something small am pretty sure I can handle it," Lisa replies feeling herself. She'd expected the questions to be tricky and hard but Logan wasn't all that

"I can take that as an answer but no matter how small the accident is. I want to know everything even if it's just a paper cut," he says his facial expressions becoming more serious

"Of course sir," she was wrong. The man might not be asking hard questions but he was clear on how much his daughter meant to him
"Am sorry," I add hoping I'd still have my job. Why was his stare so scary and intoxicating at the same time?

"It's okay, you still have the job. It's just quite cute seeing you all shocked," he chuckles

I look at him letting his words take control of my body, my breathing becomes hard and I stare at him. My eyes moving from his brown eyes to his lips. I blink away the thoughts that are flooding my mind and keep smiling

"Thank you sir,"

"So ummh... I have to go prepare for my next meeting, I still haven't reviewed some of the files that are needed," He says sitting upright

"I really didnt have a lot of questions for you but am not done. I will ask my driver to drive you to your place to pack your stuff and I'll meet you at my house in the evening for the rest of this. Hopefully you read that you'd be starting immediately,"

"Yes I did," I manage to say

"Okay, see you in the evening Lisa," he says and I nod. We both stand up and walk out of the room

"Thank you Mr.Smith," I say when were out of the room. He nods a smile plastered on his face and walks towards his office while I make my way to the elevator

"Some control would have been nice Lisa," I mumble when the elevator door opens.
.....

Standing in the large living room of the Smiths house, I couldnt even believe that only two people live here. I expected to see guards everywhere and cleaners but nothing

"I'll bring your bags to the room that was assigned to you," The driver who I learnt is called Mark says and walks out. They really cant be just the two of them. I walk around the house looking at the dark décor. The walls were mostly painted black and grey and covered by paintings and classy vases. The curtains were large covering the entire window, it looks clean for a place without a cleaner

"Please follow me Ma'am," Mark finds me in the kitchen

"I would really love it if you just called me Lisa, Maam makes me look old and besides were both working for this guy so am in no way superior than you," I say. He smiles and nods and walks out

I follow him up the large staircase leading to an even better ground. The walls on this floor are black and gold, there aren't as many paintings on this floor but it looks amazing. God knows how many times am gonna get lost in this hallways

"This will be your room Lisa," The older man says

"Thank you," I say

"You're welcome, Mr. Smith asked me to bring his daughter straight home from school so you can get to know each other," He says

"Of course, am excited to meet her," I say. He bows slightly which I don't really like and leaves

"This is not going to be easy for me but I'll manage." I say looking around the decent beige walled room
