Babysitter for the CEO

“That’s more like it. By this time on Friday, next week bring me a presentable man whose elegance, demeanour and charm can overshadow your late grandpa. And he must be as handsome as that guy who passed earlier or else….” Grandma didn’t finish her words but that was enough to send a message.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Fine grandma, I’ll do it. Will you hand over the can now?” Liana asked trying not to show her irritation.

“Baby girl, old ginger is spicier. Hahaha Hahaha. This is juice, my dear. Just juice! I cherish my health more than anything. I can’t believe how silly you are. Hahaha,” she laughed as she drank from the can, amused.

Liana could barely hold herself from erupting like a volcano.

Old ginger is spicier, huh? Grandma dared to trick her over a can of juice. She forgot how cunning grandma was. She wanted to scream out loud and destroy things but dint wanna destroy her wonderful image so she held it all in. Tonight, she was gonna pour out all that anger in the boxing ring.

Yeah, unknown to her grandma and many others, the petite-looking, Liana Peterson was an excellent boxer. Let’s hold a candle to her future spar partners.

*************

The majestic figure from earlier had just made his final turn along the passageway and finally stopped at the door of female ward VIP 007. A cold smile appeared on his enchanting lips and he knocked on the door like a bandit.

If you’re wondering where the nurse, Regina was at this moment; she’s with her colleagues at another ward. She didn’t wanna meet this Asura who had come looking for trouble. She still wanted her nice head, ah! She also trusted Evelyn would handle the matter as she had known her for quite some time.

Inside the ward.

Vanessa, Lisa and Evelyn were alarmed.

“Who could be outside knocking like this? Has he no manners?” Evelyn spoke telepathically to Vanessa unhappily. If she weren’t on a hospital bed, she’d have beaten the bastard out there whoever he is.

“I think it must be her relative. Most likely her dad” Vanessa replied telepathically with a sigh. She had forgotten something important all this while- that this kid had a father. Why did he have to come to spoil their bonding moment now?

“So he only recalled he had a kid now? Look it’s 6:30 pm already. Did he care whether his child was dying or hadn’t eaten or felt lonely or…” Evelyn was cut short by Vanessa.

“Let him in. He might be a bad man but he’s the progenitor of Lisa”

“Fine” Evelyn reluctantly agreed.

“Mama, you won’t let him take me away right? Please don’t let him take me away. Lisa wants to stay with mummy. Lisa doesn’t like daddy” she began to sob burying her head on Vanessa’s chest.

Vanessa sighed and brought Lisa into a big warm hug. She was gonna relish the last moments of being with Lisa.

“Come inside whoever you are bastard,” Evelyn yelled after turning over to face the sad duo. Deep down in her heart, she was glad that Lisa was finally leaving and she could bond even more with her bestie but she still kind of pitied her though. The little one had a cruel man for a father. She must have suffered a lot. She sighed internally.

The door opened and the man they were expecting entered the ward after kicking the door open.

“Show some manners will you? What if we were all naked? Or could it be you have such fetish?” Evelyn ranted but Vanessa quickly shut her up through telepathy.

“Dear, he’s no ordinary person. We can’t offend him” Vanessa chided.

“Damn…”

“No cussing babe” Vanessa reminded Evelyn for the nth time since they’ve known each other. Yeah, Evelyn was short-tempered at times and won’t hesitate to fight if the need be.

“I heard you. You haven’t changed at all” Evelyn decided to turn over pretending she didn’t see Mr Jack. Lisa on seeing her dad sobbed, even more, her shoulders trembling caused Vanessa’s heart to quake.

“Please don’t let them take me away, mummy. I’m scared of him” Lisa cried.

“Woah, finally the little demoness met her match,” she muttered.

“I heard that”Vanessa telepathed unhappily.

“Sorry” Evelyn wasn’t sincere with her apology one bit and Vanessa chose not to bother her over it. More important issues needed to be addressed right here and now.

“Let me pretend I didn’t hear you lady. Men, get Lisa for me” Mr Jack commanded.

“Aye, Sir!” two bodyguards chorused and made for Lisa.

“No, mummy, don’t let them take me away” Lisa’s sobs increased causing Vanessa’s heart to ache even more.

“Ma’am, please let her go. She’s our young mistress” one of the bodyguards spoke politely.

“I don’t wanna go with you” Lisa pushed the bodyguard away and hugged Vanessa tighter.

“…” Vanessa still couldn’t speak. She could only caress her head and back while trying hard not to let a tear fall.

“Are you there to play?” Lisa’s dad asked causing shivers to run down the bodyguards ‘ spine. So without further delay, they took her away from Vanessa and back to her dad.

Vanessa’s right hand was stretched out and she looked at Lisa with longing.

“Ma’am, she’s my child so I can do whatever I want with her. I haven’t sued you for destroying my property” Mr Jack reminded before turning to leave. He took Lisa by the hand and stated walking away.

“Hey, bastard! What do you mean you can do whatever you wish with her?” Evelyn was forced to get down the bed in rage.

“You must be deaf, peasant. I said whatever I want not wish. Only peasants who never progress in life wish for things. Please return to your coven before you initiate my darling Lisa” Mr Jack spoke heartlessly.

“You’re calling me a witch and a peasant? I’ve tolerated you long enough, Mr Jack” Evelyn wanted to fight and Vanessa sighed, dropping her right hand.

“Let them go. Lisa was never ours to begin with. Besides aren’t you happy that she’s going home? We have no right to separate her from her dad even if he’s nothing to write home about,” Vanessa advised telepathically and Evelyn felt deflated.

“Well, you can go.” she had to bend low to kiss Lisa on her cheeks and ran back to her bed pretending to sleep.

“Tsk!” Mr Jack handed her to his bodyguard.

“Don’t carry her. Let her walk coz she’s dirty”
