Babysitting The Billionaire’s Adult Son

The next morning,

The coldness of the morning could make everyone choose to stay indoors. The chilliness of the atmosphere makes it obvious why the thick fur Melanie modelled is out of stock.

Running down the gigantic stairs is Melanie, she races down the stairs and bid Mr Gordon goodbye without looking at him.

She had told him the previous night that she will be leaving home very early the following morning. She had a shot and he told her not to worry about breakfast and that he would do it.

Melanie is the first person to head out of the house since she has to make it early to the office. She adjusts her black thick fur coat over her black pencil skirt and a green slit top. Her silver heels make a click sound as they make contact with the gunk floor.

She clutches tight at her purse and takes in her bottom lips. She is fucking cold and she needs to get to the office as fast as possible so she can take something warm

“Mine!” Mr Gordon call out to her from the front door, she halt on her track and wait for him to get to her back before she would turn around to face him.

“Your earrings,” he mutters, pointing to her hair as he stops in front of her. “Your earrings get stuck in your hair.” he finally says, clearing her curiosity.

Melanie widen her eyes in shock, she move her hand to her hair to see that her left earring indeed get stuck in her hair. She tries to take it out but he beat her to do it.

“Let me help you!” he smiles and takes a step closer to her.

Melanie take a step back in shock, since what happened between them the previous night, she has been having weird thoughts that she finds difficult to make body contact with him.

“Don’t touch it, I will do it.” she protested, she quickly fixes the earring properly and Mr Gordon watches her in amusement.

“What are you scared of? I won’t touch you without your consent.” he scoffs and she places her palm on her chest.

“I’m not scared,” she replied shakily, she gulp hard and watch him take a step backwards.

“Don’t just say you are not scared to show it to me. Let me see that you are not scared of me.” he groans angrily. He made to turn around and leave but Melanie tug at his arm and pull him back.

She stares at his angry face and she watches his face become soft. “I’m not scared of you,” she says and snuck into his chest, hugging him tightly.

“Thank you!” he pats her head and pulls off the hug.

Melanie wags her palm at him, he nods at her and she walks to her car.

“Dad, help me fix my tie.” Melanie hears an angry voice from Archie and she quickly enters the car.

Walking down the hallway with March beside her, Melanie stares at March for the last time and twists open the doorknob.

Getting back to her office after the shot. March close the door behind them and she walk up to her table, she drop the file and wait for Melanie to sit down on her swirl chair before she could sit down on the chair opposite hers.

They are just coming back from the studio and tons of file was sent to them by the chairman to work on. Melanie went to his office to thank him for the car but he told her that it was a gift from the company and not him.

Melanie gazes at March who is standing like a newly signed military man.

“Sit down!” Melanie commands. She peels off her jacket and hangs it on her chair. She sit down and faced March who wouldn’t stop grinning at her.

“Are you that happy that we are starting work already?” Melanie laughs heartily, she grabs the cup of coffee that has been set on the table for her and gulps a large quantity down her throat.

“I was over joyous when I was told that you have memorised the basic point and you have solved the whole puzzle. I couldn’t hide my joy that I asked the chairman to pass the files to us,” she confesses and Melanie smiles brightly at her.

“Yes. I have indeed solved the puzzle and I have submitted it to the chairman. but I’m still surprised that we could be given this many files to work on already.” Melanie sighed, she grabs the file and places it gently on her front.

“I’m sorry, ma’am! I asked for the file.” March mumbles lowly and Melanie snaps her gaze at her.

“Hey, I’m not complaining, okay? I’m just surprised that’s all.” Melanie declare she opened the first file and bore her gaze to it.

“Will we be able to solve it before the end of the day?” March asks with her gaze dropped down to the floor, she’s so nervous that she couldn’t look Melanie in the eyes.

“With what I’m seeing here, we would be done with it before lunch,” Melanie smirked and March quickly raise her gaze from the floor.

“Really?! Then let’s get it started.” she grins and adjusts herself on the seat.

“Make yourself a cup of coffee so we could start work already.” Melanie smiles, she watches as March hastily stand up from the seat, she gets to the dispenser and makes herself a cup of black coffee with milk.

“Thank you, ma’am!” March smiled, she places the coffee on the table and takes her seat.

“Take a look at this file,” Melanie stretch out a file to her assistant, she quickly receive the file from her and place it in front of her.

“Read the word and tell me what you think about the proposal,” Melanie instructs, her assistant nods her head and quickly scans the file with her eyeballs running like a racing car.

“I think I should work on these files, while you do the checking,” March suggested, she pick up a ballpen and start working on the file.

Hours later,

Melanie close the system, after working for hours on the files she later received a mail from the director and she has been working on the project that was sent to her since then.

“Ma’am,” March calls out to her, she closes the door and walks gently towards Melanie with a tray of Coca-Cola and bread. “Had lunch yet?” she raised her brows.

“Nah,” Melanie shrugs, she picks up her pen and jots down some things in her notebook. “I have been busy since you left that I forgot about lunch.” she rubs her tired eyes with the back of her hand.

“Good!” March smiles, she lowers the tray and drops it on the table, “As I guess, I know you might not have eaten anything so I brought snacks.” She says in a meek voice.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Melanie’s head shot up at the mention of snacks, how on earth does she know that she is starving?

“Thanks, March!” She smiles warmly. Melanie drop her pen and pull the tray to her front. She picks up the bread and takes a bite of it. “How about you? Did you have lunch?” she asked in a mouthful of bread.

March nods her head, grinning as she watches her boss hungrily devour the four slices of bread. “Should I help with the drinks?” she laughs as she watches Melanie savour the snack without gulping the drink.

“Don’t worry. I can do it.” Melanie laugh shortly, she pick up the drink and gulp it down in one go. “Thanks for the food, I was so busy that I couldn’t get up to grab something to eat.” she throw her head to the backrest and rest her body on the chair.

“You should have contacted me.” March sighed, she walks over to her side and start to pack up Melanie’s bag.

“Everyone has left, only those that are working extra hours remain at the company,” March says, she picks up her phone and taps on the screen, she shows it to Melanie and she let out a gasp.

“It’s six pm already!” she yells out in shock, and stands up from the seat, “I need to go somewhere,” she explains.

“Oh, okay?” March draw her phrase. She watches Melanie keenly as she hurriedly packs up her stuff.

Mr Gordon texted her a while ago, he told her to come straight to his office after she closed for the day’s work. Melanie forgot about the meeting since she was busy with some company projects.

She rushes out of the elevator the moment it makes a beep. “Has he eaten? What should I grab for him? Would he want me to get him anything?” Melanie panicked as she rushes to her car.

“To be honest, I don’t know if I should get him anything. And if I want to, I don’t think I know what it should be.” she breathed out heavily, unlock the door and get in.

Walking inside the company with a box of pizza in her hand. Melanie inhale deeply as she places a light knock on the double door of Mr Gordon’s office.

“Yes, come in!” is the sound that she could hear from the outside.

Melanie blink her long lashes twice before twisting the doorknob. She enters the office and her heart skips a beat the moment she sees a lady smiling brightly at the man she is in love with.

“Oh, Mine!” Mr Gordon beam stands up from his and walks up to her in other to welcome her to his office.

“Hi. Good evening!” Melanie nervously wave at him, she stretch out her hand to him revealing the box she held. “Here, I got it for you.”

Mr Gordon smiles and collects the box from her. “Thank you!” he gushes, holding the box of pizza in his palm. “How did you know that I’m starving?”

“Pizza and Coca-Cola!” he grins like a child and pulls her to his body. “Thank you my Melanie,” he whispers to her ear and she sniggers before pushing him off.

“Who is that lady?” Melanie whispers to him, he moves his gaze to the lady that is seated in his office and mouths an ‘oh’

He opens the box and takes out a slice of pizza. “Oh! This is the lady that will do the birthday planning.” Mr Gordon point to the lady that is sitting across his seat.

Melanie heave a sigh of relief knowing that the lady is not a threat to her. She walks deeper into the office and stops right in front of the lady. “Hello, good evening!” Melanie stretch out her hand for a handshake.

“Welcome, ma’am.” The lady stands up in respect, and she shakes Melanie’s hand with a slight bow.

They settle down on the round chair in Mr Gordon’s office. He drops the box beside him on the chair and pulls Melanie to his body, stroking her hair as he addresses the lady.

Mr Gordon turns to the lady. “Since my woman wasn’t in the seat when we were discussing, kindly feed her with our previous conversation for follow-up. I will be on my desk.” He says in his baritone voice, he stands up and walks over to his desk to continue with his paperwork.

“So, I’m sure he might have discussed the necessary information with you, what kind of style do you think will fit the event?” Melanie asks, she shifts her gaze completely to the lady.

“Here are what I thought would be okay.” the lady says, shifting forward on her seat.

Some moments later,

The lady left minutes ago and Mr Gordon is somewhat still busy with work. He realise how bored Melanie may feel so he shut the system and walk up to her.

“You good?” he asks as soon as he takes his seat beside her.

Melanie smiles dryly. “All good!”

Mr Gordon clears his throat, takes Melanie’s hand and rubs it absent-minded. There are a lot of things in his mind but he didn’t know how to express himself.

“Are you okay?” Melanie asks her tone sounding like that of someone that is worrying for their loved ones.

Mr Gordon sigh sadly. “To tell the truth, I’m not okay.” He mumbles the rubs Melanie’s palm. “I have a lot of things I want to tell you but it seems like I have to wait forever before I could make it happen.” He confesses.

Melanie glare at him in confusion. She would be lying if she say she understand what he is insinuating. “What is it that you want to tell me? We can discuss it now.” She shifts uncomfortably on the seat.

Mr Gordon flash her a toothy smile. “Let’s get Archie’s birthday done with, I will tell you after that,” he assures her and Melanie gulp down nervously.

‘What is it that he wants to tell me that he finds it difficult to say?’ she groans inwardly.
