As the night rolls by, I stood in the kitchen, looking down at the dinner that I had prepared as per Nolan’s orders. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret and disgust. What had I gotten myself into by taking up the job of being Nolan’s nanny?
I looked around the lavish kitchen, taking in the expensive appliances, and the immaculate cleanliness. I knew that I did not belong here, yet here I was, cooking dinner for a man who did not even appreciate my presence.
I had taken up the job of being Nolan’s nanny for one reason – , Cody. I had hoped that I would be able to make a difference in the his life, but things had not gone as planned.
The other day, Nolan had thrown an elaborate party forhimself and his friends, and I had lost control. I had been overwhelmed by the extravagance and the sheer amount of wealth on display. I had gone wild, and the way I had acted was completely unprofessional.
I couldn’t believe that I had let myself get carried away like that. As a nanny, it was my job to keep a level head and ensure that everything went smoothly. But that night, I had failed Cody, Nolan, and myself.
I had tried to make it up to Nolan by working harder and ensuring that I did everything he asked of me, but I knew that it was not enough. I had let him down, and I knew that he would never forget it.
As I plated the food, I couldn’t help but wonder if I had made a mistake by taking up this job. It was not just the incident at the party that had me feeling this way. I had always felt like I did not belong in this world of wealth and privilege.
Growing up, my family had struggled to make ends meet, and I had to work hard to make something of myself. I had thought that being a nanny for a wealthy family would be a good opportunity for me, but now I wasn’t so sure. i had only Cody now and he was my only family so I had to do everything to please him, even if it meant being Nolan’s slave while Anthony was gonel
I reminded myself that I was doing this for Cody. He was a sweet towards me even tho he has his little side effect, and I had grown fond of him in the long time that I had been dating him that. I couldn’t abandon him just because it was difficult to work for.
I took a deep breath and walked out of the kitchen, carrying the plates of food to the dining room where Nolan was waiting. Nolan looked up as I entered, his expression unreadable.
I tried to smile as I placed the plates in front of him, but Nolan’s silence made me nervous. I couldn’t tell if he was pleased with the food or if he was still angry with me for the incident at the party.
As I stood there, waiting for him to say something, I couldn’t help but feel like a failure. I had let my emotions get the best of me, and now I was paying the price.
Nolan finally spoke, breaking the silence. “The food is good. You can go now.”
I nodded, relief washing over me as I turned to leave. As I walked back to my room, I knew that I had to do better. I had to regain Nolan’s trust and prove to him that I was a competent nanny.
But most importantly, I had to do it for Cody. He deserved the best, and I was determined to give it to him, no matter what it took.
As I picked up the phone, I heard Nolan’s voice on the other end. “Hey Alexa, hope you’re having a good day,” he said with a hint of excitement in his voice. “Listen, I’ve got a surprise for you. After dinner tonight, we’re going to a concert.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
I was taken aback. We had never gone to a concert before, and I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea. “Um, okay,” I said hesitantly. “What concert is it?”
“It’s a surprise,” he replied with a chuckle. “Don’t worry, you’ll love it. And speaking of surprises, I was about to send you a video of Anthony ordering pizza with his ABC’s, but I thought I’d let you decide if you want to see it or not.”
I felt a twinge of annoyance at being interrupted, but I knew it wasn’t worth arguing over. “It’s fine,” I said, trying to keep my tone neutral. “I’m sure it’s cute, but I’m getting ready for dinner anyway.”
“Great, I’ll see you in a bit then,” Nolan said cheerfully before hanging up.
I sighed and shook my head, feeling a bit defeated. It seemed like no matter what I did, Nolan always had the upper hand. But I didn’t want to ruin the evening by being difficult, so I put on a smile and got ready for the concert.
As we were getting dressed, Nolan made a comment about how lucky I was to be going out, as most nannies didn’t get to do so. I fought back the urge to snap at him and simply gave a noncommittal hum in response.
We got in the car and drove to the venue, and I was surprised to find that we were there before anyone else. “Why are we here so early?” I asked Nolan.
He grinned mischievously. “I thought it would be fun to have the place to ourselves for a bit. Go outside and wait for me, I’ll catch up with you in a minute.”
I stepped outside and took in the view of the empty concert hall. It was a rare moment of peace in the middle of a chaotic week, and I felt grateful for it.
As I turned around, I saw Nolan walking towards me with a group of guys trailing behind him. “Alexa, these are my bandmates,” he said, gesturing to the group. “This is Jack, he plays guitar, and this is Adam, he’s on drums. And this is my best friend, Mike.”
I smiled and introduced myself, feeling a bit awkward as they all looked me up and down. I didn’t know much about music, but I could tell that these guys were talented.
Nolan put his arm around me and said, “I wanted you to meet them before the concert starts. They’re amazing musicians, and I know you’ll love their music.”
I thanked him for the introduction and chatted with the guys for a few minutes before Nolan announced that it was time to get the show started. We headed back inside, and the band took the stage.
As they started playing, I felt myself getting lost in the music. It was loud and energetic, and I found myself tapping my foot and nodding along to the beat. Nolan and his friends were up front, playing their hearts out, and I couldn’t help but feel proud of them.
After the concert, we went backstage to hang out with the band. They were all incredibly nice and welcoming, and I felt like I had gained a whole new group of friends.
As we drove back home, Nolan turned to me and said, “So, did you have a good time?”
I smiled and nodded. “Yeah, I did “I said surprised that Nolan acted like we didn’t fight some night ago
