Babysitter for the CEO

Vanessa cursed Frederick many times in her head. She had great grievance. Then she thought of the little bun. Was she experiencing this too? How will she explain to her father? And Evelyn…. no, Evelyn should be safe. After all, she was Collen’s mate. Soulmates don’

t hurt each other, right?

She headed to the bench and laid on it.

Mario walked to the extreme of the hall and took a whip that was thin with several spikes.

Then he took a fat cane. He held them out to her.

“I choose the cane.” she said meekly.

What a joke! Who in their right mind would choose that spiky whip? Did they not want their precious life anymore?

“But that thing is really gonna hurt my bum.” she whispered.

“If you are that scared, how about we do some little math? Your name is Vanessa. The strokes you’ll be receiving is 350. Your names is 7 characters. Am I correct?” said Dexter.

Vanessa nodded.

“Since it’s so, well, simply divide 350 by 7 and there. You’ll only be eat 50 strokes.” continued Dexter. “But you need to pay us $3000.”

“I don’t have such cash on me.”

“IOU is here.” Nylie handed her a piece of paper with the sum on it. “Miss, please sign it.”

Lisa spun around in her new outfit and blew a kiss at the trainer.

“Miss Sherley, I so love it. This is gorgeous on me.” she squealed.

‘I’m glad you love it. It’s like it was made for you in the first place.” Sherley commented with a smile.

“Yeah right. Oh, let’s go now. I really wanna show my dad how to belly dance.” she ran out of the room in excitement.

Sherley facepalmed and sighed.

“Mr Collens, you just had to send her to me; she is my nemesis. You are very good.” she muttered and left the room.

On entering the training hall, everyone was stunned silly.

“How do I look?” Lisa asked excitedly.

“You look gorgeous.”

“Tasky”

“You smell like milk”

“You are pure royalty!”

“Beautiful. Can I take you home?”

“Oh, my! What a princess!”

Lisa turned to look at Sherley, who had just come in looking moody.

“Miss Sherley, you aren’t exhibiting any charm. Or is this another way to amaze the audience?” Lisa asked ‘innocently’.

Sherley wanted to beat this thing up, but she had a scary background. If one strand of her hair was harmed, she’ll hear from her father. Even before that, she’ll lose this job. What a pain in the neck!

“I told you not to slack off. You guys will stay one more hour than usual.”

“Am I included?” Lisa asked, blinking her eyes slowly with a pitiful expression.

“Of course not. You are a newcomer, so I’ll forgive your mistakes for today. Plus, you are cute. How can I make your dad worry about you?” Sherley said sweetly.

The other trainees looked like they’d swallowed a fly.

Since when was the master so meek and gentle? Just look at the bias! Forgiven? Why then were they punished for making a mistake on their first day? Where was her forgiving heart? Or maybe this miss Sherley was a fake?

“Keep staring at me and you’ll do extreme frog jumping for an hour more.” Sherley barked.

“Yes, ma’am!” they chorused and continued dancing what they’d been taught.

Sherley walked to the ending of the hall and sat on a chair.

Lisa ran to her, fiddling with her hair.

“Can I join them?”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“Watch them for a while, then you can dance with them.” replied Sherley.

“Alright!” Lisa sat on another chair and took the bottle of water beside Sherley. She opened it and drank it all in one go.

“Ah, this water is magical. So invigorating.” Lisa commented.

Sherley was unhappy but held it all in. She patted the little one and commended her for finishing the water.

“Kiddo, do you know that water is very rare? You just drank it all. We only get two of it a day. You just drank my last bottle. I so wanna beat you up.” she raged in her heart.

“Miss Sherley!”

“Hmm? What is it, Lisa?”

“Can you dance? I’ve not seen you dance. Please show me some moves.” Lisa begged.

“I will do that tomorrow, ok?” Sherley tried to speak gently.

“Okay. I’ll just tell Mr Collen that you don’t wanna teach me today.” Lisa shrugged and turned around to leave.

“Fine, you win. I’ll dance alright? But make sure you watch me intently.”

“You’re the best, miss Sherley.”

“Everyone pause! 10 minutes break.”

Sherley became the only person standing as the others except Lisa, who crossed her legs and spread her arms sideways on the chair she sat on leisurely.

“I want to teach you a simple dance. You must pay attention.”

*********

Evelyn spun Collen’s chair around after she sat on it. Collen was feeding her strawberries whenever she opened her mouth. He was on his knees.

“Next time, you don’t bet on what you can’t afford. Loser!” she opened her mouth again, and he fed her a berry. He had no tears to shed.

Earlier, after she’d finished dancing on the stage, he scolded her and pointed out many mistakes.

She then told him that she quit the arrangement.

He quickly apologized. Then she proposed a bet.

The two of them would dance and the loser had to get on his knees and feed the winner whatever he/she wants.

He readily agreed only for her to suggest ‘Twerking!’.

His face paled, but if he didn’t accept, he would lose his mate. Heavens knows how many years he’d waited to find her.

Expectedly, he lost! So here he was.

The door suddenly opened.

“Mr Collen, there is something I need to you to verify this…” the woman who had just entered became speechless.

Collen immediately stood up and placed the plate of berries on the table.

“Hehehe, continue. I shouldn’t disturb you, sir. Congratulations, you have good taste.” she said awkwardly and fled even before he could reply.

He facepalmed and sighed.

“Hey! Who gave you permission to stand up?” Evelyn thundered. “On your knees, Collen!”

“Yes!” he obeyed and resumed feeding her the berries.

********

Vanessa had just received the 50 strokes of the cane and she was awarded a duplicate copy of the IOU.

She shed tears in her heart.

$3000 debt- how cool!

She sat on the floor cross-legged just as Frederick commanded.

She watched the partners show off what they knew. She won’t even be practicing anything.

‘Collen, Collen, you won’t get away with this.’ she swore internally.

Frederick was sternly teaching and correcting the chosen pairs as they danced.

Her phone vibrated in her bag, and she picked it up.

“Hello, Lisa’s father!” she whispered.

“Where are you ladies?”

“Blendz.” she replied.

“Oh. Which dance did you guys choose to learn?”

“When we return, I’ll tell. But we are safe. Stop worrying!” she cut the call and put the phone on silent mode.

Frederick issued her another IOU.

“Now I owe them $3500. Great!” she thought.
