THE NANNY AFFAIR

Amidst the whole drama, another unfolds when we took heed of a young lady running in.

“Methane, what happened?”. We curiously got up from the chair and veered closer.

“Ma’am…. the.. company.. fire.. at.. the.. warehouse…”.

I looked on trying to understand the words she says, it made no sense but when she got a chance to get herself together, it was told that the warehouse in which they kept supplies caught fire and also took the lives of two of the workers who were caught in the fire.

Elena took a step backward in shock, she almost landed on the floor but when noticed I pulled her up with the hands she strangled years back.

After a while, we both got to the site and saw the warehouse as been brunt down and everything inside it.

Elena walked further scoring her eye around, quietly I stood and watched, finally gaining methane’s attention.

“Who are you by the way?” She asked after recalling I was the same person who bumped into her.

Before I could introduce myself, Elena let out from behind, she says ” his name is Salem Baltimore, the new managing director in charge of the finances of the company, and thankfully he’s here because I need his help!”.

It felt good seeing her singing my praises, minus the fact that it was met to me In my job description, it was also my father’s company, and as well, it is my solemn duty not to let anything happen to the legacy Mr. Liam Khan left for me.

Elena gave me the go-ahead and sends methane to also help me out in doing my job.

She shoots a fake smile and honors her boss’s request, such a loyal worker, isn’t she?.

The whole day ran by quite quickly, I returned home and the moment I took a step forward, a hand pulls me back and throws a push at me, luckily I had quick reflexes I bent down as it flung over my head.

I had two options, it was either I pushed his soul out of his body or walk away as a gentleman should, but in all David had so much to say, I almost took the first option.

“What the hell is going on here?”

Riya rushed like David was getting slaughtered by me and veered him away from my presence.

Urgh! Ever since I took my step-in, everyone seems to try getting on my nerves, mostly Riya, she has a way of bringing the worst out of me. (Annoying).

An hour later, I read through the financial statement of the company, it seems like a certain amount of my was missing because the numbers don’t add up at all.

“May I come in”.

I lifted my gaze and saw Elena standing outside my room, ” yes ma’am” I said as she walked closer to me, she says and I quote, ” thank you so much for helping me out, I know I am asking much of you but please this company means a lot to me, it was my late father’s, but after my husband tried to steal from me, he left the company in disarray”.

And there she was, blaming others for her crime, I should I know, wicked witch can never change, a witch will always be one, and my mom is the queen mother in the witches Kingdom if there is any.

I had no choice but to play in her game, somehow later, it will be my turn.

“It’s okay ma’am, I understand, Riya told me everything, how have you been doing ma’am”.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
