Chapter 3 A JOB

JACKSON, ANNA

I'm back at my home, sitting on my bed, thinking about last night (well, not quite believing, but trying to recall), but nothing comes to mind.

What happened next, and did he change my clothes?

Who the heck instructed you to consume that much alcohol?

My face was buried in my pillow.

"Anna, come quick, baby, the breakfast is ready," Nanny said.

I got out of bed and walked to the kitchen, where I sat on the chair where she brought us breakfast and then looked suspiciously at me.

I glanced down while I ate my supper.

"Will you please tell me?

"I gazed at her when she finally said anything.

I inquired, nervously chuckling, "What are you on about?

"

"You are fully aware. What am I referring to? "

"Umm... No, I do not. "I was attempting to seem innocent.

"Don't even pretend to be innocent, Anna."

"I'm not pretending to be anything."

"Don't tell me that was your first, Steve. I SWAER I WILL KILL YOU, ANNA, "She yelled the last part.

With wide eyes, I grasped my chest. "Stop, Nanny. Are you going to cause me a heart attack or something? "

She then grabbed my arm and looked at me. "Is that Steve?

"She enraged inquired of me.

I gulped hard and shook my head no.

"Then who was it?" she asked, leaving my arm and returning to her food.

"Umm.."

"Tell me whether he was attractive. Young. Tall."

"Will you give up?

"Okay. Okay. But you had a job interview, didn't you? "

"Ya. It will begin at 9 a.m., giving me plenty of time."

"What is your current position?

"

"It's intended for a babysitter. Last night, I received a notice on my phone. So I figured, why not give it a shot? "

"Are you sure about it?

"

"Yes, Nanny. Don't worry; we'll acquire a new home eventually."

She regretfully nodded.

I kissed her on the cheek.

"So, how did you spend your morning? Have you done it again? "

And I assumed she was depressed.

"What's the matter with you?

"

"Don't be afraid to tell me. Again? Oh, my Jesus! How many rounds did you play? Did he utilize defense? He had best do it, or I'll murder him. I don't want Anna to get pregnant so soon."

I looked at her, stunned.

"Whose Nanny is this? And then just quit. I have no recollection of anything. I was inebriated and- "

"You're useless."

"Speaking of this morning, I was terrified. I believed I was the one who seduced him, and now he must think I'm that sort of girl, so I simply donned my clothes and hurried away without telling anybody."

"You escaped?

"Ya. I was terrified. But I did leave him a message of apology and gratitude."

"Why are you so stupid, Anna?"

"You have to realize, Nanny, this was my first experience in a circumstance like this."

She just shook her head.

"Anyway, after I finish eating, I'll go," I remarked as I rose.

I gave her a quick embrace, and she kissed my cheeks and murmured, "Take care."

I agreed by nodding.

"Bye."

I hope everything goes well; my life has been a shambles for the last several days, and I need this job for Nanny, or we'll be homeless.

Finally, I arrived at Parker Enterprises. I glanced around the firm; it was massive. I walked in; I noticed many people waiting for the interview; I sat on one of the seats and waited for my turn. Every female sitting there was preoccupied with her cosmetics, hair, and dress.

I assume it's only me dressed like this; I'm sure someone else will get the job before mine, but everyone came out with a sorrowful look.

Then it was my time, and the woman said, "Miss Jackson, please come inside."

I nodded and stood from my seat, following her inside and looking around the office.

Wow, everything here is incredible.

My gaze was drawn to the individual seated in the chair.

Why does this man seem to be familiar?

Fuck, you're doomed.

Why?

My pupils dilated.

He is...

He is, indeed.

Hell no! Fuck, I'm not taking this job now.

I bit my lower lip in trepidation, and I believe he noticed, as a grin flickered over his lips as I stood there like a statue.

He then turned to the woman next to me and said, "Please, Olivia, postpone all other interviews. I believe I'll need some time for this one."

My already wide-open eyes enlarged even more now.

But why does he want to spend more time with me?

I'm not sure, that smile seems sinister, but you have to agree he's hot.

Put up your hands, pervy.

"Yes, sir," Olivia said and exited after wishing me "Best of luck."

"I appreciate it."

I need it right now.

"Please have a seat Miss..." he smirked again, then glanced down at the file in his hand and said, "Jackson."

I approached him and sat on the chair in front of him.

He said again, "So, Miss Jackson, how are you doing?

"Umm... I-II "I couldn't find the right words.

"You seem uneasy, Miss Jackson, and I don't like it."

I bit my lower lip once again and glanced down.

I'm curious why your lip hasn't begun bleeding yet.

He then rose from his seat and approached me, leaning on the table in front of me.

He was standing so near my seat that it made my breath catch my throat.

I believe I should explain myself to him before he says anything.

That is something I should do.

But don't say too much.

"I apologize. I got intoxicated last night and went insane. I don't usually drink, but I was so upset last night that I went to the club. That was a pretty dumb thing for me to do. Then I referred to you as a kidnapper. I apologize. This morning, I felt so bad that I began freaking out and decided that running away was the only safe option. I apologize and thank you for saving my life last night; otherwise, the bartender would have taken me to that room, and I have no idea what would have occurred. And I'm not who you believe I am when it comes to the room. "My eyes widened as he knelt to my eye level and pulled his face closer to mine.

What is he up to?

"Miss Jackson, what am I thinking?

"I swallowed hard when he stated it in a deep voice.

"T-that I-that I-that I-that I-that I-that I-that I-that I-that I-that I-

"Yes, you are."

"Yes, I am."

"I'm paying attention, Miss Jackson."

"Could you just stop?"

"Stop what you're doing, Miss Jackson."

"Stop getting too near to me."

"But I think you just wanted this last night when you dragged me."

My eyes widened, and I rose from my seat, moving away from him.

"I told you it was because I was inebriated."

He grinned as he looked at me.

"Give me one good reason why I should hire you. Maybe you can get drunk again, and God alone knows what will happen. I can't put my child's life in danger by hiring someone like you "four

Is he the father of his child?

Listening to him made my heartache.

"I swear I'll never do it again. I will take excellent care of your kid, which is unusual. I apologize for making a terrible impression on our first encounter, but I guarantee it will never happen again. Please, I am really interested in the position. You can't judge me based on a single meeting. Mr..., please. "

"Parker. Parker, Liam, "He responded.

"Yes. Parker, Mr., I swear it will never happen again. I'll take excellent care of your youngster."

"Fine. I'm not saying this because of your begging, but because I see something in you. That you can deal with him. So you've been employed "

"Really! Mr. Parker, thank you very much. Thank you very much."

He then got up from the table, straightened his coat, and stood in front of me, hands in his pants pockets.

"There are certain ground rules you must obey, Miss Jackson."

"What are the rules?

"

"Rule number one: you will not touch him. If only I had known about it. The worst will happen to you. Number two: you will not intrude on my private. Number three: there are specific restricted locations in the home where no one is permitted to go; do not go there. Number four: you will not leave home without my permission. Number five: I would not invite any other guys, such as your buddy or partner, to my house "

"Okay... But what about the time of my job?"

"It is from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Except on Sunday, every day."

I agreed by nodding.

"Also, your salary. It will cost $5,000."

My eyes widened as I realized he wasn't kidding.

"Umm. I believe I misheard something. Could you just repeat that? "

"You heard right, Miss Jackson. It costs $5,000 "four

"Don't you think that's excessive?"

"No. I don't think so."

He then returned to his seat and sat in it.

"When do I start working?" I inquired.

"Tomorrow. 9 a.m. sharp. Be on time or prepare to say goodbye to your job."

I agreed by nodding.

"I hope you still remember the place," he smirked.

I agreed by nodding.

Ha! I finally got a job.
