Babysitting The Billionaire’s Adult Son

41



Melanie woke up to the pitch of her alarm. It’s her first day at the company and she feels anxious about it.

She strides to the bathroom to have a thorough bath.

After having done her bath, Melanie walks back to her room. She ransacks through the wardrobe and picks out the outfit that fits perfectly for the company.

Minutes later, she is dressed in an expensive black suit. And she packs her hair in a tight ponytail.

Mr Gordon walks in to meet her putting on her earrings. He observes her for a while and shakes his head in disapproval.

“I brought this,” He announced his presence, raising the package in his hand in the air.

“Good morning, Alfred.” Melanie greets him as soon as he gets to her side.

“Morning, babe.” He greets her back with a peck on her forehead.

“I want you to wear this.” He drops the package on the dressing table and she stares at him with a smile on her face.

“I have already dressed up for the company.” She hitches her nape.

Mr Gordon shakes his head in disapproval.

“The company is not a regular office. Since you’ll be dealing with fashion you need to wear something fancy and… Sexy.” Mr Gordon mumbles the last part and Melanie hit him slightly on his chest.

“Pervert,” she rolls her eyes at him.

“Alright, Thank you!” Melanie beams as she unwraps the package.

“Please, let your hair down. I will prefer it that way.” He smiles before walking out of the room.

Melanie peel off the suit from her body and slide her feet inside the black pegged skirt that stops above her tight. She picks up the royal blue off-shoulder top and put it on.

She uses the dangling red earrings and clips them on her ears. She stares at her reflection in the mirror and lets out a satisfactory smile.

“Indeed, this looks better than the first outfit.” she smiles as she removes the band from her hair. She styles her waist-length hair and applies hair lotion to her hair.

“Hmm,” She sighs as she slides her feet inside the black heels and picks up her red purse.

She slides her phone inside the purse and rushes out of her room.

Getting to the living room, she meets Archie clad in a clean apron as he brings out a tray of breakfast from the kitchen.

“Good morning, Aunt.” Archie greets her warmly and she rushes to meet him.

“What’s going on?” Melanie whispered in his ear.

“We’re making breakfast,” Archie replied, dropping the covered plates on the dining table.

“What about your dad?” Melanie asks, her eyes almost plucking out of their sockets as Mr Gordon strides out of the kitchen with three lunch boxes in his hands.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hey, you’re done.” Mr Gordon smiles, dropping the boxes on the table.

“Yeah, I’m done.” Melanie clears her throat as she stares deliciously at Mr Gordon.

“You look stunning.” Mr Gordon smiles, running his eyes from her head to toe.

“Thanks!” She smiles.

Archie stares at them with a mean look. “Guys, can we… Eat?” He taps his hand on the table pulling the attention of the two lovers.

“Sure, Let me serve the food.” Mr Gordon smiled as he put a plate at Melanie’s front.

He serves the food and they all eat as Mr Gordon continuously flirts with Melanie on the table.

“Alright, let me quickly clear the table, I will meet you guys outside.” Mr Gordon winks at Melanie and she blushes hard at his winks.

“I will help with the washing.” Melanie volunteer to help but Archie pull her to his side.

“You can do all the cleaning or whatever. You will meet us at the parking lot, I can’t possibly let you two enter that place together.” He groans, handing the boxes to Melanie and they both walk out of the dining room.

“You look beautiful,” Archie says, as soon as they step foot outside the house.

“Thank you!” Melanie glare at him and he let out a weird grin.

“Remember the picture you took the other day?” Archie asks and Melanie angrily crosses her arms over her chest.

“What about it?” She asks, not knowing where he’s heading with his words.

“Some people want you to model their brand.” He let out and Melanie kisses her teeth at him.

“Thought you’d forgotten about the picture? Or is that not what you told me?” Melanie clicks her tongue at him.

“Whatever!” Archie glares at her.

“Alright, I’m here.” Mr Gordon announces his presence.

Mr Gordon joins them at the parking lot and they enter into the car and he drives them out of the compound.

They first drop Archie at his school before driving to the company. Melanie felt her palm sweaty during the drive to the company and Mr Gordon held her hand throughout the drive.

“You good?” Mr Gordon asks the question a million times before they get to the company.

Mr Gordon parks his car outside of the company, he glances at Melanie who seems stressed. He smiles at her and starts the engine.

“Where are you going?” Melanie asks as she realises he’s driving back to where they’re coming from.

“I can’t send you off to the company like this. You need to drink ice americano before stepping foot inside there.” He says with a squeeze on her hand.

Melanie holds his hand and he smiles at her.

“You’ll be fine, I promise.” Mr Gordon says and Melanie nods her head shyly.

Mr Gordon stop the car in front of a beverage shop. He steps down from the car and walks inside the coffee shop to get a cup of iced americano for Melanie.

He gets back minutes later and gives the cup to Melanie.

“You good?” He asks, adjusting the hook of her earrings. He roams his eyes on her body to check if there’s anything that needs adjustment.

He drives back to the company with Melanie sipping on her drinks.

“There’s something I want to give you before you leave.” Mr Gordon says he pulls out a shiny necklace and wears it around Melanie’s neck.

Melanie feels as though she has owned a similar necklace before but she can’t tell why.

“Alright, bye.” Melanie steps down from the car and waves to Mr Gordon to drive out of the company. He blows out a kiss to her and Melanie feels empty as he leaves.

She grabs her purse in one hand and ice americano in the second hand.

She feels her head grow bigger as she stares at the enormous building in front of her.

Melanie feels someone intertwine his hand with hers and she wonders who it is.

She looks back and a light smile finds its way out of the corner of her mouth.
