Babysitter for the CEO

Jack dropped the bomb and it was such a terrifying bomb!

“YOU!” Evelyn wanted to curse again but then Jack planned to add more to the big bill they already owed. This scam was too much and in the end, Vanessa could only pay by babysitting Lisa, that little Asura? Come on, this joke isn’t funny at all. There must be a third option. There must be! Evelyn calmed down and exhaled.

“So, em… Mr Reynolds? Isn’t there any other way? My bestie knows nothing about kids and so we have to head for another option.” Evelyn tried to talk peaceably with this king of thieves. Heaven knows how hard it was to hold herself back all this time. She was just half a hairbreadth close to exploding. This dummy should better not provoke her further or else, she can’t guarantee what she would do next.

Lisa’s father nodded upon hearing Evelyn’s question: “Yes, there is another way. In fact, there are two other options for the two of you” Jack said.

“Please state them, sir,” Vanessa said, calmly waiting for him to speak. She was worried about how to get outta this predicament. Not that she didn’t want to babysit Lisa. She’d be more than happy to do so considering the fact they were mysteriously connected. She just wished it wasn’t under this circumstance.

“The third option is for Evelyn to babysit Lisa even though there’s a chance of Lisa looking like a blobfish,” Jack said and Evelyn wanted to pounce on Jack so bad. Can’t he let out gracious words from his mouth even once? How hard is that for him? It’s a waste for him to have red lips and a good figure. He’s a rotten pig!

“Calm down, bestie” Vanessa telepathically tried to soothe her friend’s ire but Evelyn would not take it.

“Vanny, why are you so soft? This scum is doing illegal stuff here and you just let him? And he keeps calling us names too. I can’t take that” Evelyn thundered telepathically.

“I know you’re vexed. Relax my dear. Relax” Vanessa patted Evelyn’s shoulder.

Evelyn exhaled deeply, looked tired.

“Sir, what’s the last option,” Vanessa asked.

“It’s naturally for you guys… to pay now. Easy!” Jack once again crushed their hopes totally and Evelyn flared up. Her eyes were about to change colours.

“You son of a bitch, what right have you to be so petty and hold us hostage? You want your money tonight huh? You’ll get it” she rushed towards Jack almost forming an ice lotus in the process but Vanessa rushed to Evelyn and stopped her in time.

“Evelyn, what are you doing? There are bodyguards all around but despite your action, they didn’t make a move. It could only mean he is strong. Don’t land us in further trouble” Vanessa chided telepathically.

“Mr Jack, sorry for my friend’s behaviour. It’s getting late. Please allow us to leave and think about the way forward. Then we’ll come to meet you tomorrow” Vanessa said, bowing her head and then practically dragged a raging Evelyn who was spewing all sort of curses from her mouth attracting the stares of others.

“If you’re a real man, come out and fight me. I’ll kick your third leg. You don’t deserve Lisa, you piece of rotten shit” Evelyn refused to stop her curses despite Vanessa’s warnings.

“Stop this childish behaviour, Evelyn. Have you no manners? You aren’t the Evelyn I knew from high school. What’s gotten into you BFF?” Vanessa scolded in frustration.

“You… forget it” Evelyn stormed off after leaving Vanessa’s hold. Vanessa sighed and followed her slowly. The assigned bodyguard of Lisa’s father followed after them. They all took a taxi back to the entrance of the Blackville district and got off because Eelyn didn’t have her vehicle pass card with her. They had to reach the mansion on foot. Thankfully, none of the ladies was on heels. The bodyguard minded not. This walk was very short in his eyes.

Inside Evelyn’s mansion, Evelyn marched upstairs with Vanessa following closely behind. They didn’t care about the bodyguard who helped himself to be of the sofas. Everywhere was quite messy. The party girls had left long ago.

They entered Vanessa’s room and shut the door.

“Evelyn, what’s with you? Why couldn’t you keep your cool?” Vanessa asked and Evelyn finally let out her pent-up anger.

“Vanny, what right have you to lecture me. I’m older than you.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“By a year” Vanessa chipped in.

“Yeah. Why do you keep stopping me back there? What right have you to scold me?” Evelyn yelled, her eyes already changed to green and purple respectively. “Why don’t you let me freeze him and smash him to pieces? Just because he’s Lisa’s father?”

“Evelyn, calm down. This isn’t you. Calm down. If it comes to worse, I’ll just babysit Lisa. She’s a little angel, alright?” Vanessa placed her hands on Evelyn’s shoulders and let her sit on the bed. “I know you’re angry for me. I appreciate it. But this isn’t the right way to handle stuff.”

“Vanny, you know it’s all your fault. If you hadn’t cried about going there in the first place, we’d be in a better position than the current. We didn’t even enjoy the party to the full” Evelyn’s eyes still didn’t change to normal. ” It’s all your fault.”

“Yes, it’s my fault but if I didn’t go Lisa wouldn’t be in good health. There’s something that connects us. I don’t know much but if she falls ill I feel pain” Vanessa explained.

“Yeah, I heard that a million times already” Evelyn left Vanessa’s hold and walked to the extreme.

“We are fairies. Why don’t we escape?”Evelyn suggested.

“No, don’t be silly. ” Vanessa pushed down the idea quickly and Evelyn could only show an eerie smile. The room temperature suddenly lowered and Evelyn’s eyes started glowing.

“What the hell are you doing, BFF?” Vanessa was trembling from the cold. What’s entered her buddy’s head today?

“Remember what you promised me earlier? You owe me a fight, baby girl” Evelyn uttered and without warning her transformation started.

Her brown hair became a golden colour and pink appeared at the edges of her hair which had grown longer by three inches and now curly in two ponytails.

Her eyelashes lengthened and her lips rosier. Her transparent wings came out; one was aqua green and the other purple. Her clothes changed to a white mini velvet gown studded with diamonds but her feet were bare of shoes. Instead, she sported pink thigh high socks on her right leg and gold knee-high sock on her left. A silver lotus tattoo appeared on her left thigh along with a small pink bracelet on her left wrist. She then stretched her hands sideways and two lotuses- green and purple respectively, appeared and slowly rotated above her hands.

Vanessa just stood there shocked.

“Your power increased so fast and it comes with a change in features” Vanessa exclaimed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

“Yup. Hurry up and change dummy” Evelyn taunted but Vanessa stood her ground.

“I won’t. I don’t wanna fight, Evelyn. It’s late. Let’s sleep instead” Vanessa suggested but Evelyn only shook her head with a smile.

“I want to test my powers and you are the perfect sparring partner. Want to escape to la-la land? I won’t let you” she lowered the temperature even further but Vanessa dashed towards the door only to find it frozen.

“Partner, don’t run. Come and let’s have fun. Don’t worry, we won’t fight in here. Let’s go to the river in Le Wilde forest near the lake. Both of us will have an advantage over nature” Evelyn suggested and kept lowering the temperature in the room. Luckily, the cold did not leak outside the room.

But Vanessa wasn’t having it easy, her teeth had already begun to chatter and she could feel herself almost getting frozen. Finally, Vanessa sighed in defeat.

“You’re right. How can I lag behind while you progress? Eat my flames” Vanessa declared and her transformation began. She looked the same after changing. (i. e she looked like her first fairy self which means her power was still low.)

“Gosh, I don’t even feel any heat at all” Evelyn teased and sent one of the lotuses to open the window.

“I’ll go first. See if you can catch up, baby girl” with that, Evelyn took off in a flash and Vanessa followed. It was going to be a fun night for the two ladies.

Meanwhile, the bodyguard assigned by Lisa’s dad had been ushered into a guest room by the servants. He took a bath and went to bed. He wasn’t here to prevent them from escaping but to know their place. Ah, he really wanted to laugh again thinking of how evil his boss became just to tie that beautiful blonde to his side. He never received the short end of the stick. As for the brunette, she’s quite fiery. Whatever, he better sleep early. Tomorrow, he’s to return to the boss’ side.
