Babysitter for the CEO novel Chapter 10

Mr Peter Jones (Nelson Woodley's ) secretary, adjusted his glasses for the millionth time. He continued waiting for his boss at Theo's cafe. When he called his boss some minutes ago, he detected from Nelson's tone that he wasn't happy. He internally lit a candle for whoever pissed his boss; little did he know that it was someone Nelson himself was helpless against.

Suddenly, a car parked in front of the bar at a breakneck speed. Peter almost swore at the driver only to cover his mouth in shock-guilt.

"Sorry boss," he muttered inaudibly. Of course, how could he forget? His boss was a big demon on the highways; how many curses he had received from other road users! (pedestrians, cyclists, motorists to name a few)

Peter sighed and rose from his seat; he made for his boss. Outside the cafe, Peter bowed slightly to his boss but he just went into the cafe and ordered for a cup of coffee.

Nelson then sat at the extreme; Peter had no choice but to move over. How could he forget? His boss always liked sitting at the extreme everytime he visited a restaurant or cafe. Would his salary be deducted this month?

Anyways, he could always survive whether his salary was reduced or not. After all, Boss Nelson paid nice salaries and so despite his eccentric personality, many dreamed of working at his company.

"Boss..."Peter called out but got interrupted by the waiter.

"Here's your order sir. Please enjoy" the waiter then left with his small glass tray.

"So em...Boss, is anything wrong?" Peter resumed asking but he was cautious.

"Do I look fine to you Peter?" Nelson asked a question that needed no answer.

"That bastard! When is he ever gonna treat me like a normal human being? I'm not gay. He's my friend and it isn't wrong to love him or call him darling right?" Nelson asked. Peter knew that Boss wouldn't take no for an answer.

"Boss, you're right. But please don't take it to heart"

"Tell me, Peter; I want you to be very honest with me and don't worry about me firing you coz you're the only one who managed to understand me well. So be frank, what do you see me as? What am I to you? What do I need to do so he'll like me back?" Nelson at the moment looked like a lost child in the forest.

Peter sighed and adjusted his glasses.

"Boss, you are someone feared by many, you are wise and also the dream husband of many girls"

"I know that. Tell me something else" Nelson seemed irritated.

"Sorry boss, your personality, your outlook, your views of others. No one is born perfect but you can try to be better and better." Peter's palms under the desk were sweating.

' I hope Boss isn't angry' he thought.

"I know. Well, let me tell you a story. I'm telling you coz I view you as my confidante and friend too" Nelson spoke; preparing himself to reveal a huge thing about him with a sigh.

"Boss, go on. I promise not to say a word even to a corpse" Peter deep down didn't really wanna hear the so-called secret. He wanted to live longer!

"Ok! Waiter, get me another serving first."Nelson requested loudly and later added: "Make it 4 waiter, and also add a lot of milk in them."

Mc Dermott hospital.

"So, you actually did that? Cool! But It would have been better if you smashed his windows" Evelyn spoke loudly before covering her mouth.

"Sorry, I forgot. This is our secret" Evelyn apologized telepathically to Vanessa.

"So, can you please get me out of here? I wanna go home" "Your home or mine?" Evelyn asked.

"Well, take me to yours. I might be safer there but I'll need some of my stuff from my apartment first" Vanessa stated and Evelyn nodded.

"Good choice babe!"

"I'm all grown up" Vanessa retorted.

"But I'm older than you" Evelyn wasn't planning on letting Vanessa have peace of mind.

"It's so good to have telepathy. I can literally thrash Vanny silly" Evelyn chuckled at the thought of Vanessa yanking her hair in frustration.

"I know what you're thinking but no, that's never happening." Vanessa then turned over to the other side. "Besides, prepare for my discharge"

At this moment, the door opened slowly.
