Chapter 5 Unexpected encounter

TIMMY POV

.

Seated within the confines of my office, my little bundle of joy flings amidst the clutter of scattered documents. My son who was now asleep had scattered my documents. Despite my repeated efforts at procuring a nanny, my son had continuously rejected all applicants, only consenting to be handled by myself or my friend, Scott.

Meanwhile, I woke him up and attempted to distract him from his mischief, proposing a trip for some pizza in one of my malls whilst awaiting the arrival of my friend. Yet, despite my pleasant suggestion, my thoughts turned to my intense cravings for sexual satisfaction. Alas, my son remained steadfast, allowing no other woman - nanny or not - to tend to him.

Thus, as I awaited my friend's arrival, I struggled to reconcile my desires with the challenges posed by my child's aversion. Though my thoughts wandered to carnal endeavors, I couldn't help but admire my son's infectious cheerfulness and adorableness. Amidst the conflicting emotions, my secretary alerted me through the cellphone of my friend's arrival, prompting me to begin wrapping up for the day.

" Young billionaire!" Scott greeted me with good cheer and humor in his funny accent.

" Morning, Scott" I greeted him with a handshake and couldn't resist whispering my carnal desires for the evening in his ear.

"You are always craving to be under the skirt, Timmy, you didn't even consider your son" Scott laughed at my suggestion and admonished.

" Scott, I don't know what else to do. Timmy Jnr has refused to pick his preferred nanny among the bubbly cheerleaders to sweet and gentle grandmothers who came this morning to apply for the nanny vacancy" I said exhaling tiredly.

"You mean none of the ladies matched the expectations of the fierce toddler?" Scott asked tickling his cheeks.

"Yes, Scott!" I responded and finished wrapping up my documents.

"That reminds me, I think you announced one of your malls yesterday?" Scott said playing with his little strands of beards.

"Oh, that's true but I don't think Timmy Jnr would love a nanny, it's written all over his face" , I pronounced looking at my son who clung tightly to my side, refusing to let anyone else near him.

"I think we should get back to them, no one can say if they probably have anybody to fit in the Nanny's position. Besides, I will love to taste the sweet Pizza and the chilled beer I tasted yesterday" Scott added, earning a lukewarm glimpse from me.

As we made our way through the mall, I lamented to my friend about my son's tendency to reject all potential caretakers, even as he made himself comfortable amidst the clamor. My friend offered some reassurances, while I showered my son with delight, helpless to resist his gleeful laughter and cuddly demeanor. Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice interrupted our reverie, injecting a welcome surprise into our day.

" Hello, Sir" Vee, one of my workers greeted me gleefully. As soon we turned around to Vee, Timmy Jnr rushed ahead towards a strange lady standing close to Vee, ignoring my calls to come back. I was taken aback. Who was this girl, and why was my son so drawn to her? The strange girl was a young beautiful girl, so pretty in her twenties, her hair tied into a bun, and a playful smile on her face, which caught my son's attention. As she saw Timmy Jnr running towards her, she spread her arms wide open to hug him. Timmy Jnr jumped into her embrace and clasped his arms tightly around her neck. The girl chuckled and ruffled Timmy Jnr's hair,

"Hey kiddo, you're such a cutie. Who's your dad?" I opened my mouth as if I was paused. I turned to Scott who was also looking as surprised as I do. This must be a mystery. I have never seen Timmy Jnr as happier as he was in the arms of this strange girl. following close behind, I cleared my throat and introduced myself, "I'm Mr. Timmy, and this is Timmy Jnr, my son." The strange lady grinned,

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Timmy. I'm Lori."

"Lori?" I asked studying her at a close distance while my son was still holding the tip of her gown.

" Yes, Sir. This is my best friend, Lori, she is just here to say a " hi" to me before she goes home" Vee cut in with a smile. " Okay, what do you do for a living?" I asked her almost gagging. " I just got a job offer today from a friend of mine" Lori, the strange girl, said with a smile. " You just got a job ?" I asked again. " Yes," she nodded her head.

" Alright!" I said trying to pull Timmy Jnr away from her but he was hesitant. Timmy Jnr clung closely to her and was not even ready to come to me again. " Come to Dad, Timmy Jnr, she is just a stranger," I said to his face but still he was holding her leg so tight in his embrace.

" Take this, cutie, and go to Dad" Lori gifted Timmy Jnr a small package and he collected it. This made me surprised too because Timmy Jnr doesn't collect things from people except me but I was so surprised he was happily collecting the package from Lori.

I could pull him out of Lori despite his hesitation to me yet he started shedding tears as Lori moved out of the mall.

" Wonder shall never end" Scott mumbled and whistled as we watched Lori walk out of the mall.
