Chapter 18
Wow!
She hadn’t seen this in the compound. It must have been in the garage.
“Is this your car?” She asked Arin who nodded. “It’s beautiful” Irish said.
“Yeah it is, thanks” Arin said.
Irish saw the driver was in the car already, the backseat door was opened by a bodyguard who looked so fierce.
She wondered where Mr Ethan found these hard looking men. They could scare shit out of someone!NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“Good morning Arin” the man greeted in a deep voice. His voice is just as thick as his face.
“Good morning Carlos” Arin smiled.
She got into the back seat and dropped her school bag beside her .
“Irish aren’t you coming?” Arin asked.
“Huh? Am i supposed to go with you?” Irish asked. “Of course!” Arin said.
“You really need to study the rules booklet” She added. “Yeah” Irish said hoping in beside Arin.
The bodyguard closed the car door and Irish widened her eyes when he got into the front seat. The driver drove to the gate which opened automatically.
“Is he supposed to go with us?” Irish whispered to Arin who laughed.
“Yeah, Carl is my personal bodyguard, he goes with me everywhere” Arin whispered back. “And he doesn’t scare you?” Irish asked in a whisper.
“No, he actually has a soft side to him. His heart is not as fierce as his face, he’s so nice and loving”
“Really?” Irish asked.
“Yes. Hey Carl, meet Irish, my new nanny” Arin said.
“Hi Irish, i heard all your whispers” He smiled turning to her.
“Huh?” Irish swallowed hard.
Two things surprised her, the fact that he heard all she whispered and the fact that he smiled. She never pictured him as a smiling man and she must be sincere he looked less fierce now.
“I’m sorry about that, i never meant to say that behind you” Irish said.
“It’s fine . So, I’m Carl, Arin’s personal bodyguard”Carlos said stretching out his hand effortlessly from the front seat.
“I’m Irish, Arin’s nanny. Nice to meet you” Irish said accepting his outstretched hand.
Damn!
Strong hands!
She’s so sure those hands could easily break objects into two. “Same here”Carlos said.
“I know you do a good job in protecting Arin” Irish said.
“I’m trying my best. Arin is my friend and I’ll make sure no harm comes to her” Carl said. “He has been my personal bodyguard for three years now and has saved me from being kidnapped multiple times, back in Australia” Arin said.
“Oh.. my! Really?” Irish asked.
“Yeah” Arin said and Irish could see why Ethan entrusted Arin to him. She’s still worried that Ethan hadn’t responded to her greetings.
Even if he was pissed by someone, he should have responded to her greetings. She wasn’t the one who pissed him of, Or was she?
“Meet Alex too, my chauffeur” Arin said.
“Hi Alex, We’ve meet each other before” Irish said.
“Hi Irish, welcome to Arin’s world” Alex said, focused on driving. “Thank you” Irish smiled.
“We’re almost at my school” Arin said excitedly. “Really?” Irish asked.
“Yeah” Arin said putting her iPad back in her bag.
She slipped on her school bag as the driver drove into a wide opened gate. Carl got down to open the door for them and they both alighted.
Irish marveled at the sight of Arin’s school.
Looking at it alone would have told you it’s a NO! for the poor. Students alighted from different posh cars.
Securities were everywhere and the students looked well organized as they walked into a passageway.
The structure is just… Wow!
The outer part had left her speechless, and she wondered what the inner part would do to her.
“I’m gonna go with you to your class right?” She asked Arin. “No, you don’t have to. Carl will” Arin said.
“Ohh.. okay” Irish said and sat back in the car as she watched them leave.
She sighed, watching the students admiringly. Everyone sure has different childhood.
“Hi” Alex jolted her out of her thoughts. “Hey” she responded.
“You feeling bored?” “Not really” Irish smiled.
“Should i tune in some beats?” He asked and Irish shrugged. She’s not much of a music person.
Alex started playing a soft music and Irish allowed her mind to wander away.
**
They got home and she and Carlos alighted from the car while Alex drove into the garage. “See you later” Carlos said, walking away.
“Yeah” Irish replied, walking to the door.
She missed her Mum.
She wondered if she was okay with her rejecting the offer. She hopes she is. She can’t sell her body for money.
“Hey, you’re back” Gabrielle said to her as she walked into the living room. “Yeah”
“Your room has been rearranged. Come take a look at it”. Gabrielle said. “Ohh… okay” Irish said anxiously, walking behind Gabrielle.
She wondered why they have to rearrange the room. She was comfortable with the way the room is now.
