Babysitter for the CEO

Vanessa a slightly tall blonde-haired lady took one more look at her apartment before rushing down the stairs.

Getting downstairs, she could see the busy road and people.

"Vanessa, you can do it" she encouraged herself and then looked at her purse. The money in it isn't enough to take a taxi. Well then, she'd just go to her destination on foot.

Vanessa just turned 24 this month; still single and unemployed.

She had been fired two weeks ago from the restaurant where she formerly worked because she had upset a rich customer by accident.

Since then, she's searched for a job and finally found one as a cleaner in a small company. She was going for the interview today by 9:20 am.

It's currently 8:20 am, so she still has an hour left to get there. She pats the creases on her white gown and sighs again.

She then starts her journey admiring some things that she sees on the way.

30 minutes later,

Vanessa decided to cross over to the other side of the road since her destination was on that side. She looked at the traffic lights and saw that the third one had turned green.

With that, she began to cross but halfway she was nearly hit by a car that transgressed the rules. The driver didn't even stop to say "sorry" before speeding off.

"Damn it!" she cursed.

"These rich people have no manners. Just because they are rich they think they can do anything. May heavens punish that devil" she said as she completed her crossing.

It's good she didn't wear high heels today or else it would have been a different story. She looked at her watch and saw there were 26 minutes left so she began to jog hoping to get there faster.

When she was about to make a turn, she collided with a little girl. Both fell down and the little girl started weeping.

Vanessa got up and stared at the girl. She wasn't good with handling kids so she could only ask:

"Where are your parents? How could they leave you alone?" she asked.

The little girl got up from the ground and hugged Vanessa's legs.

"Mama, you're back! Mama, carry me. Lisa wants a hug" the little girl said.

Vanessa stared at those big eyes of the little girl. 'Damn it! Why does she have to be so cute? And why is she calling me mother?' Vanessa pondered.

"Alright then! I'll carry you. Where are your parents?" she asked as she lifted the little girl who could be no more than 4 years old up.

"My daddy is bad. Lisa doesn't like him. Lisa run away. Lisa lost. Mammy carries Lisa" the little girl replied.

"Ok then I'm already carrying you," Vanessa said with a sigh.

Man! She's running late but then, she also needs to deliver this little guy here to her home.

"Mammy, Lisa hungry" the little girl whispered as she rubbed her tummy.

Vanessa sighed.

"Fine then, I'll feed you," she said to the little girl.

"Yay! Mama is the best. Lisa loves Mama" Lisa exclaimed happily and kissed Vanessa's cheek.

Vanessa looked at her and smiled.

"Let's go eat" she muttered as she walked further into a restaurant. The very one she worked at formerly.

She saw some of her workmates stare at her in pity while some laughed at her.

"What would you like to eat?" a slim lady walked to her dressed in the same white gown as Vanessa's.

"Please give me a plate of rice and err... salad. Lisa can you eat that?" she asked the little one.

"Yes, anything. Lisa loves Mama" the little girl said cheerfully.

"Oh, and who's this pretty one?" the slim lady asked.

"Lisa Mama" the little girl replied before Vanessa could even speak.

"You are her mother. To think you already opened your legs to a man 4 years ago. I admire you. Who's the father?" the lady asked again as she pinched Lisa's cheeks.

"So soft," the lady thought in admiration.

"You are bad. Lisa hate you" said Lisa as she hugged Vanessa tighter.

"Mara, just get us what we ordered, "Vanessa said impatiently.

"Just tell me who's the lucky dad?" the lady asked.

"In heaven" Vanessa replied.

"Papa is bad. How can he go to heaven? Papa carries Lisa by ear. Papa, a demon," said Lisa stunning Vanessa.

Why would this kid refer to her birth father as a demon at this age?

"So the father is an evil man, and he's dead? So pitiful," Mara lamented hypocritically.

"That's it!" Vanessa got up from the seat and made to leave

"Where are you going?" Mara asked.

"M..M.. Mara, a slut, sc... scumbag, shit," Lisa cursed at Mara.

Vanessa's eyes widened.

This kid!

What has her parents taught her that she actually knew this dirty words?

How old is she?

"You little brat!" Mara wanted to tear this pretty babe to pieces.

"Vanny, so this is how you train your child. I should applaud you" Mara said in anger.

"There are some breed of women who look like a gorilla when angry. There are also some who are prettier when angry. Take a mirror and study yourself. Which group do you fall into?" with those words, Vanessa left the restaurant leaving a fuming Mara.

Lisa stuck out her tongue at Mara before they exited the restaurant making Mara clench her fists.

**

After they found another restaurant to settle in, Vanessa questioned the little one, but all she said was "Lisa love Mama" making Vanessa almost pull her hair in frustration.

This was somebody's kid and just from her dressing, she could tell her background was not ordinary.

Gosh! This is a big problem.

For sure, she won't be getting the job.

What should she do now? Her rent was due next week. Gosh!

Suddenly, the restaurant's door burst open and a very handsome man dressed in a green suit rushed in.

He is 7ft tall and slim.

Seeing him some girls gasped but his focus wasn't on them.

On seeing Lisa, he rushed to them and snatched her from Vanessa.

She wanted to protest but seeing the striking resemblance between the two; she knew immediately who he was Lisa's father.

Lisa was throwing 'fierce' punches on her dad's chest but he didn't mind.

"Put me down. Lisa hate you. Papa, a demon," Lisa cried.

"You... what did you do to her?" her father questioned Vanessa.

"She ran into me and i took her here for food" replied Vanessa.

"So should i thank you for keeping her alive?" the man asked angrily.

Vanessa looked at him and picked up her purse.

"It's good that you found her.I've done my duty and I'm leaving" she said and then took her leave not minding Lisa who was struggling to get out of her father's hands.

"Be quiet, ugly," the man said in a baleful manner and she immediately stopped struggling.

"Now that's a good girl" the man muttered as he walked to the counter and settled the bills.

When he got out of the restaurant, he saw that his car tyres were flat.

He need not guess the culprit. It was Vanessa who was currently hiding in a person's home.

Lisa's father made a phone call and soon a jeep rolled over and he entered with Lisa.

Then the car drove away at full speed.

"Damn it! So Lisa's father is the one who nearly ran me over. So ungrateful and evil. May the heavens punish him" Vanessa thought.

**********

Lisa whom her dad thought had fallen asleep suddenly screamed loudly startling her father.

This...how could this happen when he was on his way to a vital meeting?

What did that woman feed her that she turned out like this?

"Ugly monkey stop screaming" he yelled, but she suddenly bit his neck hard and opened the door.

Before her dad could react, she was already out of the car.

The driver immediately stooped the jeep, and both got out of the jeep.

A fleeing criminal had run Lisa over.

At once, her dad ran over to her and carried her bridal style.

"I want my mummy" Lisa said before fainting.

Vanessa sighed after throwing her purse on the bed. She massaged her forehead and stared at the ceiling.

Today was just bad. So bad!

She couldn't even make it to the interview and the little one she saved had a terrible guy for a dad. No wonder she calls him a demon.

"Such a man doesn't deserve to have a child like Lisa in life. Gosh!" she said to herself frustrated.

What would she do now? Would her landlord throw her out if she can't pay her rent?

"I wonder how that little Lisa is doing. Forget it! Why worry about someone else's child?" she scolded herself and then closed her eyes to think but she got kidnapped by sleep.

*****

McDermott hospital...

This is the best hospital in the whole of Y city. Little Lisa is currently going through surgery for internal bleeding.

The surgeon suddenly came out demanding for her father's blood. Her father has been waiting outside the surgery room. He's sitting on a waiting chair and is currently conducting a meeting via video. Looking at his calm face, no one would believe his daughter was dying.

"Sir..." the surgeon called but Lisa's father raised his left hand signaling him to be quiet.

"End the contract with the Han corporation. No room for discussion," he said coldly and closed the laptop. He then raised his head to look at the surgeon who was trembling a bit.

"What is it?" he asked angrily.

"Sir, your daughter needs a blood transfusion," said the surgeon.

"Idiot! Why couldn't you detect that before the surgery? Now you interrupted my discussion." Lisa's father complained.

The surgeon didn't know what to say in reply.

"What is her blood type?" Lisa's father asked as he stared impatiently at his watch.

"B-negative" the surgeon replied.

"Then why come to me? Go get it from the blood bank" Lisa's father snapped.

"That's the problem, sir! There's no such blood type in our blood bank. You are her relative and yet your blood type doesn't match hers either," said the surgeon.

"So?" Lisa's father asked with a raised eyebrow.

The surgeon was stunned beyond belief. He hadn't seen such a heartless father.

"Do the surgery without blood transfusion. I don't want someone else's blood to be transfused into her," Lisa's father stated coldly and then he got up and left with two bodyguards.

Only one remained. The surgeon was at a loss on what to do.

He went back in to do as Lisa's father instructed; carrying out the surgery without blood transfusion. Miraculously she survived, but she is very weak.

They then transferred her to the private recovery room.

Vanessa got a call that one of her friends, Evelyn Parkers, was involved in an accident. She barely survived and was currently in the hospital receiving treatment.

"Tell me, what the name of the hospital?" she asked worried.

"McDermott," said the caller.

"Yes, I'll be there soon" Vanessa cut the call and quickly rushed to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

10 minutes later...

Vanessa is all set to go out now in pink bum shorts, a black long-sleeved shirt, and sneakers.

She did not put on any jewelry or make-up.

She picked up a small bag and ran out of the room.

****

Vanessa had borrowed taxi fare from a kind neighbor and boarded a taxi heading straight for the hospital.

It took 20 minutes to get there and when she finally did; she paid the driver and told him to keep the change.

She then ran into the hospital building.

It really was worthy of being called a top hospital but it didn't matter to Vanessa. All she cared about was seeing her beloved friend.

She met the receptionist nurses and asked for the ward of her friend. It's been long since she's seen, Evelyn.

They parted the last time because of a misunderstanding and now she's got involved in an accident. She must forget the grudges and go see her or else she will not forgive herself.

Evelyn is from a rich family but had never told Vanessa so it surprised her when she was taken to the VIP ward.

"My friend is sure deep" Vanessa sighed deeply as she half-ran after the nurse who seemed to be running rather than walking.

"This nurse should have been an athlete," Vanessa thought.

On the way to Evelyn's room, Vanessa suddenly felt a pain in her chest. Her legs trembled, and she felt a shiver go down her spine.

"What's wrong with me?" Vanessa thought in fear. She looked towards her left and saw it was a recovery room. She felt like a force was drawing her to that room.

"Hey, you!" The nurse suddenly turned around and called out to Vanessa with a frown on her face.

"Hurry!" the nurse snapped and continued walking.

"Yes!" Vanessa replied feebly.

"Why didn't I bring a jacket? I'm freezing" Vanesa thought as she walked after the nurse trying to keep up with her.

Suddenly, everywhere became blurry and Vanessa decided to sit on a waiting couch.

"I.." Vanessa suddenly lost all strength and fainted.

The nurse turned around wanting to scold Vanessa only to see her fall to the ground.

A worried expression appeared on the nurse's face and she rushed to Vanessa while asking for help from the medical personnel using a ring.

*********

Vanessa opened her eyes and the first person she saw was her friend Evelyn. She didn't look harmed at all. Vanessa thought she must be dreaming.

"Vanessa, I'm sorry. I feel responsible," Evelyn said with guilt.

"You.."

"Yes, I'm a monied girl but I did not tell you because... I don't even know the reason. Forgive me, friend. You'll forgive me right?" Evelyn asked with puppy eyes.

"I'm the sick one here now. You lied you were involved.."Evelyn cut her short.

"It wasn't... I did so... so you could come to me. But now it seems I.."Evelyn said with her head bowed low.

"I understand. It's not your fault. I think someone important to me is here. It's the recovery room. Take me there." said Vanessa stunning Evelyn, and, and the nurse assigned to take care of her.

"Vanessa, you can't leave. You.."

"Am I paralyzed or something?" Vanessa asked.

"Well... sort of" the nurse replied.

"Put me in a wheelchair. I need to go to the recovery room now," Vanessa said stubbornly.
