Babysitting The Billionaire’s Adult Son

Melanie gets under the shower and turns it on while still having her clothes on.

She sighs a million times and runs her hand through her hair, not knowing exactly what to do.

She thinks of how she has been living her life from the past to this moment, she doesn’t know what to do or how to cry for her poor soul.

She only agreed to do this job thinking it would be a little better not knowing she was moving in a circle.

Well, she’s been coping all these while and she’ll keep coping until she dies, perhaps.

She gets off the shower and turns it off. She wraps her towel around her chest and walks out of the bathroom.

She enters her room and closes the door behind her, she walks to the wardrobe and picks out a pair of purple nighties. She clade in the dress and get on the bed.

Just then she hears the ringing of her phone and she picks it up from the table. Behold, it was a strange number. After contemplating what to do, she finally clicks on the receive icon and placed it on her ear.

“Come down for dinner.” she hears the baritone voice says over the phone and she needs no one to tell her that it’s her boss.

She walks back to the wardrobe and picks out a long black gown from the set of clothes and quickly changes into it.

If you should ask her what she loves most in this world, she’ll gladly say it’s beautiful dresses. And she’s blessed to have a wardrobe filled with elegant dresses.

She walks out of her room and closes the door behind her, leaving her phone inside.

One thing about her, she doesn’t like to go around with her phone.

Getting downstairs, she sights the father and son seated on the furniture in the dining room.

Okay, should she just go back inside and discard the thought of having dinner at the same table with these two? She thought and after much contemplation, she descend the last step and move closer to them.

“I’m here, sir” Melanie announces her presence even though it doesn’t matter because they can see her. But seeing them awkward moment left her with no choice but to say something.

She pulls the seat that’s beside Archie since there are three seats and the vacant one is beside Archie. She sits down and gazes at Archie to see if he has anything to say about it.

Archie rolls his eyes discreetly and picks up his spoon ready to dig it into his meal.

“Help yourself with serving.” Mr Gordon says as soon as Melanie has settled down and she smiles in appreciation.

“You should have called me to do it,” Melanie says what’s on her mind and Mr Gordon scoff.

“You just get back from the hospital and I can’t let you stress yourself, for today. And besides, I don’t think you had anything since you get here, I can’t let you die under my roof.” Mr Gordon spat which makes Archie choke on his food.

“I’ll be in my room,” Archie says, rushing off from the dining.

“Is he okay?” Melanie asks Worriedly.

“He’s your business, isn’t he? Go ask him and don’t pester me.” Mr Gordon yells, slamming his spoon on the table.

“I’m sorry for bothering you.”

Melanie quickly stands on her feet and bows to the frantic man in front of her. She packs her meal and dash out of his presence before he could utter another word.

She walks through the lonely hallway that leads to Archie’s room. Don’t ask how she knew, it was written in the blueprint that was given to her by Harley.

The blueprint was a guide that would guide her way through the mansion.

She stands in front of his room and takes a deep breath before knocking on the door.

She stands for a moment and when she didn’t hear anything from him, she place another knock on the door.

“What do you want?” The angry voice of Archie flare from inside and Melanie sigh not knowing exactly what she’s going to say to the boy.

“I just want to know if you’re okay, you know, the way you rushed off doesn’t seem alright, so I’m here to know if you need anything,” Melanie says, she tries her best not to sound horse or flare at him.

Archie scoffs “Leave if that’s what you want to know. I’m fine, so just move away from my door.” Archie sneered.

Melanie rolls her eyes before making her way to her room.

“I’m just confused about what to do.” Melanie groans the moment she set foot in her room.

She closes the door behind her and walks to the bed.

She plunges onto the bed and picks up her phone.

She unlocks the phone and sees that she’s gotten 5 missed calls. Three from her mom, one from Kayla and the remaining one from a strange number.

She’s getting a lot of calls from strange numbers these days and she doesn’t know why he (Gordon) has to keep calling her with a different number.

She tosses the phone to one side and continues with her food.

Only if they had allowed her to eat in peace back then, she wouldn’t be here eating her phone when she ought to be sleeping.

“Bunch of headaches” she groans and started to cough slightly. She peek at the tray that she used to carry her food and couldn’t see any water.

“Fuck! I should have to take a bottle of water with me. Now I’ll have to go back downstairs.” she complains and angrily stands on her feet.

She stares back at the food and decided to eat up her food so she won’t have to go back again to drop the dishes.

After she’s done with her food she picks the chicken wings that remain on the plate and much on it as she makes her way downstairs.

She hears a husky voice murmuring from the kitchen and she decided to check it out.

“Is everything alright in there?” Melanie asks, peeking inside the kitchen through the keyhole and she gasps when she sees Mr Gordon on the floor trembling with his hands clutch tightly at his shirt.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Melanie pause to stare at him from afar. He looks so messy that Melanie finds it difficult to believe that he is the same man she had left in the dining room, some moments ago.

Mr Gordon raises his head when he gives attention to the sudden movement in the kitchen.

Seeing Melanie by the door, he sprang up to his feet and run to meet up with her.

“Please take me out of here.” He cries out and Melanie gasps when she sees that he’s in tears.

“Are you okay, sir…

Melanie is still trying to say something but what Mr Gordon did next shocks her to the bone.

“What are you doing?” Melanie asks with her eyes widened in shock.
