chapter 3

It's been one week already, Anne made sure that she spent the whole week with her mom and Eun. It has indeed being a great week.

"Rinng!!, Rinng!".

Her alarm went.

"Oh for Christ sake please shut it" she yells at the alarm.

"Anne!" Eun called as she rushed in making Anne to jump off the bed with full force.

"What, what, what is it?" Anne asked

"Come see for yourself" Eun said and rushed out and Anne rushed after her pondering on what the problem was. Anne was shocked when she saw six cars parked outside her house with huge men on suit and dark glasses.

"What's going on?" she asked no one exactly.

"We don't know, Eun was on her way here when she saw them and rushed in" Mrs McCole said

"Uhm, hi, sorry who are you guys?" Anne asked no one in particular while a muscular figure highlighted from the car.

"You!" Anne was in shock.

"Yes I'm here, I really had to go through these stress to come pick you up. So you would know I don't joke with my words. Nice place huh. He smirks and surveying the environment.

"Welcome dear. Mrs McCole greeted. Please come in".

"That won't be necessary ma'am. Thank you. She's aware of the reason I'm here". He darted his eyes towards Anee.

"Ex..." She was about saying when her mom shut her up and took her inside. Within 10 minutes she was done preparing and walked out with her bag.

"I'm done" Anne said.

"Ma'am do not be worried, I'll pay your daughter. It's not like I'm buying her off". He scoffed and entered into the car.

Anne bid farewell to her mom and Eun then got into the second car and left.

Arriving at the Hathaway mansion, Anne was speechless. His home looked like a five star hotel, it had a pool and a water fountain and all those cool stuffs that rich celebrities have in their house. She was really really shocked, maids trooped out of the building.

"Okay get your things out of the car and come inside I'll introduce you to the Workers and my daughter" James said and walked in.

"Get your things and come inside..." Anne mimicked him. She then walked in as well.

"This is Mrs Rachael, she's the eldest here so you give her the same respect you give your mom. And these are the workers and finally this is my daughter Sophie" James introduced as a cute nine year old girl walked down the stairs with a teddy bear.

"Daddy" she called out

"Hey baby, how have you been?"

"Dad I'm good what's going on here" she asked

"Okay baby, you know how you said you always needed a nanny cause you didn't want to stress Mrs Rachael, well sweetie I got you a nanny" James said pointing at Anne.

Sophie came down from her father's hand since he was carrying her. She walked towards Anne and inspected her.

"What's your name"

"Anne... Anne McCole"

"So you're name is Anne Anne McCole" Sophie asked sarcastically.

"No.. no I meant my name is Anne McCole"

"How dumb, how old are you"

"28"

"Hmmm so why do you look stupid" Sophie asked annoyingly.

"Uhm (coughs) I... I uhh I don't look stupid miss" Anne replied about to get angry.

"(Looking disgustingly at Anne) do you like my daddy" she asked which took Anne off balance.

"Like... Like who now. Why would you say that" Anne asked

"Well cause all the nannies that comes to look after me all have a crush on my daddy which takes their minds away from me cause he's a celebrity and he's rich, so I ask you again Do you like my daddy" Sophie asked again.

"Awwwn aren't you just a cute little darling" Anne asked as she tried touching Sophie's cheeks but got her hand smacked away.

"Don't you dare call me cute ever again" Sophie thundered.

"Oops my bad. To answer your question, No I don't like your daddy"

"Good. Now I have my own rules and you've got to follow it.

Rule one, don't call me cute, sweetie, darling just call me miss.

Rule two, don't touch my toys or else I say so.

Rule three, I wake up at 7am and sleep at 9am so don't be late to wake me up or put me to sleep.

And lastly rule four, don't come to my room except I say so. Now any questions" Sophie stated.

"Uhh yes I have tons of..." Anne was saying but was cut off by Sophie.

"Good no questions. Daddy I'll be in my room bye" she said and kissed her daddy on the cheeks before going into her room.

What. That was the only word Anne could think of.

"Now you've listened to my daughter's rules and I have mine as well and you are left with no choice but obey.

One, you're to work strictly under orders. That's the essence of being here.

Two, no familiar conversation between me or anyone in this house. Just focus on your work and you'll be good.

Four, STAY ON YOUR LANE.

And that would be all.

Mrs Rachael take her to room" James said and left.

"Common come with me" Mrs Rachael said and took Anne you her new room.

"Wow, just wow so don't you have any rules as well Mrs Rachael" Anne asked sarcastically.

"Just be yourself, I know James and Sophie could be a hard but but they're the most sweetest people I've ever seen and being with" Mrs Rachael said.

"What sort of dumb rules was that like I can't even ask questions really, really. She said I shouldn't come to her room so how would I take care of her, how would I do my job ey. I'm just just confused" Anne said

"It's okay dear, you know when I first came to the Hathaway mansion to look after James.i was given these same rules by his mom. But look at me now. The child takes me to be his mother after he lost his parents. But he's going to be okay. Just don't make him angry and you'll be safe" Mrs Rachael said as she left.

"Hmmm" Anne signed and lay down.
