Babysitter for the CEO

The next morning.

Thorned Lion Private Area,

M city.

If you remember, Nelson Woodley lives in this city. It’s a 2-hour drive away from Y city.

But we ain’t here to meet this clingy guy. We’re here to meet Angel, I mean Liana Peterson, the one who kissed Blake Millan.

Thorned Lion Private area has 5 mansions for elites and they are numbered with roman figures.

The fourth mansion numbered with a plaque ‘IV’ is where we are entering today.

This mansion has a lot of flower species and they all work together to create a unique scent that surrounds the mansion all day long. It’s a very beautiful mansion and in it lived Liana and her family- her cunning grandma, her dad, mom, 10 years old naughty brother and 5-year-old sister.

Her mother’s parents lived in the village and only visited sometimes when they miss their child and grandchildren. So the grandma living with them in the mansion is her dad’s mother. She wants Liana to bring a man soon then she can have great-grandchildren but Liana is unwilling. After being tricked by grandma, she vows to bring home a man by Friday next week.

Since it’s morning, naturally it’s time for breakfast.

Let’s see how they’re like.

Dining room.

This room is as expected, very spacious and well decorated. The fragrance of good food flew to the dining room all the way from the kitchen. Yeah, food is being made by the hired chefs. A large rectangular table with 9 chairs of which 6 are currently occupied by Liana and her family.

“My boy, you have to convince Liana to find a handsome man and then she’ll birth me up to ten great-grandchildren. I’ll die happily.” grandma has begun her nag again and Liana tired of her nag sighed.

They have this family rule- no electronic devices (i. e AirPods, earphones, headphones, tablets, handset or whatever stuff that distracts one from eating) should be found when the family is eating together. How Liana wished this rule was bent in the mornings like this. Grandma’s nag might one day turn into superman kind of nag with muscles strong enough to force her to kidnap any tall, handsome guy she sees. Gosh! When will this end? Can’t she wait till next week Friday?

“Mom, rex, Liana’s still young. She’s a baby” said Liana’s mother who has black hair. She’s a beauty and looked gentle.

“Oh, if she’s a baby at her old age then what about Sophia and Eric? What are they? Fetuses?” Grandma asked and Liana’s mom shook her head in defeat. She recalled how grandma stayed with them for a year after she married Liana’s dad for two years without any fruit of the womb.

Doctors said she was infertile but grandma refused to accept it and found a rare treasure medicine to help her out and ta-dah! She’s birthed 3 beautiful kids and still looked so young. She hardly goes out for fear that men will take her for a maiden and chase her. Sigh! Beauty is kinda annoying sometimes.

“Mom, let’s wait a little longer. I’m sure Liana will bring a wonderful ma home very soon. Am I right Liana?” he winked at a tired Liana.

“Yes. s. s. s” she dragged her answer and continued to eat her food.

“The rice is really delicious,” said Eric, Liana’s little brother.

“It’s nutritious,” said Sophia, Liana’s little sister.

“Yes, both of you are correct.” said grandma as she added food to their plate.

“And today’s Saturday. Mom, Dad can we go play somewhere fun?’ said Sophia with puppy eyes. This baby girl loves fun more than school and studying, unlike Eric who hated playing.

“Well, let me remind you, little beauty queen, that today is Wednesday. Wait a bit longer, ok?” said Grandma and Sophia pouted.

“You always ruin my plans” she muttered.

Eric was very happy and made funny faces at his kid sister causing their parents to sigh.

Kids!

After the family breakfast, each parted to do their morning routine. Liana headed upstairs to her simple yet elegant, spacious room. The bed in the room is larger than a king-size bed and half of it is occupied by plush toys of different sizes that are neatly arranged.

Liana sat on her bed and took a big, green hamster plush toy with a pink hair bow. She inspected, sniffed and then hugged it to sleep.

Yeah, Liana is a lover of sleep!

Only when it’s nine a. m before she can be considered ready to work hard. Until then, no one can disturb her from sleep. She needs her beauty sleep, okay?

Exactly 9 a. m, Liana got off the bed and kissed the green hamster’s forehead.

“Time to start the day!” she ran into the changing room where she made a fuss on which outfit to wear and what type of make-up would look best on her. The day would surely be hot later so maybe light make-up was best.

15 minutes later, she came out wearing a black sequined gown that covered only one part of her legs and skin-coloured, one-legged tights. The chain around her waist helped amplify her sinful shape. The upper part of the gown did well to cover her bosom but did not stop them from bouncing whenever she walked.

Her hair was in a single pony tail and she was free of any jewelry except transparent gold earrings. Her make-up was very light. It has been ages since Liana dressed like this. To fulfill her grandma’s wish, she has to doll up so that her ‘rightful master’ will come to claim his belle.

She patted the head of a few plush toys before leaving her room, climbing downstairs slowly.

The whole family was in the living room. Grandma chatted with Liana’s parents and they kept laughing when she told jokes, Sophia was wearing a sad face as she didn’t want to go to school unlike Eric who was calmly reading a book that children his age couldn’t read. That boy is a genius!

Sophia was the first to see Liana and she whistled like some lustful bad man.

“Look at the princess” she exclaimed, immediately leaving her seat to hug Liana. But Liana dodged her.

“Big sis, you are no fun at all” Sophia whined.

“I just want to live a little longer kiddo” she said with a sly smirk. She looked like some vixen in this way.

“Yes, that’s my grandchild. Come, come, let this old woman take a good look at you. Come, come! Don’t be shy,” Grandma beckoned excitedly and Liana sighed internally. Party pooper!

Liana dragged her feet towards Grandma and sat beside her. Then Grandma started lectures of do’s and dont’s for a pretty unmarried maiden to get the best husband ever. Liana couldn’t count how many times she rolled her eyes as Grandma lectured with all seriousness.

“Yes, grandma. I heard all you said. I will keep them in mind. So, can I leave now?” Liana asked in the most polite way that she could think off coz she was an hairbreadth closer to fighting. But she didn’t want her secret as an excellent boxer to be let out. So it’s better she leaves.

“Yeah. You can go” Grandma agreed. Liana turned her head and saw that the rest of the family were enjoying her misery.

“Just you wait” she muttered inaudibly but they pretended not to see it.

“Alright, Liana please help us drop off your siblings at school.” said Mrs Peterson.

“Eh? Why me? What are you guys busy with other than watching television and entertaining friends?” she looked really mad. Grandma alone has delayed her and now her parents wanted to join the fray too. This is clearly an elephant bullying an ant!

“We’re busy with… making babies” her dad said shamelessly and Liana nearly fell.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Eh?” she was stunned. How can her dad say this like it was easy as drinking water?

“What when we said so a few years back you were glad. Why are you unhappy?” her dad continued to speak.

“Just you two wait!” she took her siblings out of the mansion.

Her parents high-fived and laughed. Teasing a baby girl is sure fun. Grandma started knitting a sweather claiming it was for her future great-grandchild. Ah, she just can’t wait!

The unhappy Liana dropped her annoying siblings at school and rode to her company that dealt on perfumes. Their brand ‘Laser Rose’ might not be the best out there but the quality was always guaranteed. So even if new, larger companies sprang up overnight, she wasn’t worried. Everyone has his own choices but it’s her duty to make customers feel alive and confident when they use their perfume brand. That is very essential.

You see, the Peterson family wasn’t always rich. Let me tell a little history.
