<RODRIGO'S APARTMENT>

"So you will start staying in that billionaire island?" Cindy questioned after Annabella was done explaining to her

Annabella nodded

"Mrs Kim was living with them so obviously,I've been working halftime" Annabella muttered and her mind went to how Gregor had spoke to her just hours ago.

★FLASHBACK★

"I mean,start staying here in the house from now on" Gregor said and Annabella's eyes widened

"I don't want my kids getting late to school from tomorrow,you can think about it if you want,and if you're not comfortable with it then let me know to get someone else" Gregor said and Annabella almost frowned

"I'm not uncomfortable with that,but I have to take care of my mom....."

"Think about it and tell me your answer" Gregor cut her off and went upstairs

Annabella bite her bottom lip and clenched her fist together

'Arrogant robot' she said inwardly and sighed out before she finally left the house

★END OF FLASHBACK★

"So what are you gonna do now?" Cindy asked Annabella

"I don't know,I don't want to leave the kids like that,not even now that I am getting on their good sides,but at the same time,there's mom...."

"Who said your mom is sick?" Mrs Rodrigo opened the door and came in

"Mom" Annabella looked up

"I can't even provide for your school fees,and now you think I will stop you from working??" Mrs Rodrigo asked

"No mom,but you can't stay here all alone. I have to stay over there,at least until Mrs Kim is back,and I don't even know how long she's staying" Annabella muttered

"Cindy is still here,and even if she leaves,I will be fine Anna. You know how strong I am right? Just trust me and face your life already,you're twenty" Mrs Rodrigo said

"I know I'm twenty mom,you don't have to remind me" Annabella pouted

"Start making decision for yourself Bess,and don't worry,I might just leave my school hostel for a while and stay with mom" Cindy said and Annabella smiled

"Really?"

Cindy nodded

"See? I won't be alone,so start packing your things already" Mrs Rodrigo said and Annabella immediately hugged her

"I love you mom,I promise to always come over every weekend...."

"*Every*should be out of it" Mrs Rodrigo said and they laughed

Mrs Rodrigo left the room and Cindy started helping her to pack her stuffs

"Only sexy clothes Anna please,it's a billionaire we are talking about" Cindy said and threw off the long gown Annabella was planning to arrange into her bag

"I am going there as a nanny...."

"So what? Haven't you read stories about billionaires falling in love with their maids? Just keep on playing" Cindy scoffed 

"That stuffs only happen in stories babe,Mr Bells is just like ice,I don't think he's interested in ladies" Annabella said but then her mind went to Stella

"When you seduce with this your perfect shape you always cover" Cindy touched Annabella's hips and @ss

"Even the godfather of ice will melt" Cindy said and Annabella froze,she just remembered how Gregor grabbed her @ss and how the only thing he said was something she doesn't even want to hear,so definitely he wasn't impressed

"Make sure he notice how sexy you are babe" Cindy smirked

"Never!!!! Stop talking about it,I don't even want him to notice me!" Annabella screamed

"Weird" Cindy muttered.

<NEXT MORNING≈GREGOR'S ISLAND>

"Nanny,are you really going to start living with us?" Alex asked as they ate breakfast in the dinning hall

"Yes,what do you think?" Annabella asked

"I like it that way,we won't be late to school anymore" Alex said and Annabella faced Casey who kept on playing with her food

"Cutie,what's wrong?" She asked and Casey looked up

"The food is tasteless" Casey said and the maids standing shifted uncomfortably immediately

"Really?" Annabella asked

"You can have a taste,gosh I wonder where daddy got them all" Casey glared at all the maids standing

"Casey" Annabella cautioned

"She's right,I'm just forcing myself to eat" Alex scoffed

"Daddy hardly eat their food,that's why they are still here,geez" Casey said and just then Gregor came downstairs.

"Daddy!!" They both jumped out of their seats as usual and rushed to hug him

"Morning" Gregor kissed their cheeks

Theo walked in and took Gregor's briefcase and then left almost immediately

"How was your night?" Gregor asked

"It was fine,daddy Nanny said she will be staying here from now on" Alex said and Gregor looked at Annabella

"I...I'm sorry I couldn't come into your room to tell you" Annabella said and Gregor returned his gaze back to the kids

"Do you like the idea? I don't want you going late to school" He said

"Yes daddy" Casey said

"Daddy join us for breakfast" Alex said

"No,I need to go" Gregor replied

'Does he even eat at all?' Annabella thought watching as Gregor kissed the twins again and then walked out

"Cuties,hurry up,it's almost eight" Annabella said

"I'm done eating" Casey dropped her spoon

"But you didn't even touch it" Annabella apoke up

"Nanny can you cook?" Alex asked

"Of course,why?" Annabella asked

"Fried rice and chicken tonight!!!!!!!" Casey and Alex screamed out and Annabella almost laughed

"Seriously? You want me to cook that for you?" She asked

"Yess!!!!" They shouted

"Then,deal" Annabella nodded. 

She walked out with the kids and they met Jay waiting,Theo already left with Gregor

"When are you planning to bring your things here?" Jay asked after they all settled in the car

"When we are back from school" Annabella replied

"I will help" Jay said

"Of course,thank you Jay" Annabella smiled.

<CAMPBELLS MANSION>

Melanie opened her eyes and yawned tiredly,she turned and grabbed her phone from the bedside stool. She checked the time and groaned,it's past nine already and her class starts by ten.

"Gosh I feel like running away" She muttered and sat up on the bed. 

She remembered everything that happened last night,how Wright had taken her out of the frat house and how Lonnie was the one who took her home instead,but she doesn't understand why Wright handed her over to Lonnie anyway.

"Silly Jerk" she muttered and left the bed,she walked into the bathroom and took her bath. After some minutes she was already dressed up for school,she packed her stuffs and went out. 

Getting downstairs,Mr&Mrs Campbells are both in the dinning room having breakfast

"Morning mom ,morning daddy" She kissed her dad's cheek and sat down

"So I don't deserve a Kiss?" Mrs Campbell protected

"You have your son to kiss you" Mr Campbell said

"Talking about him,I miss my baby so much" Mrs Campbell said and Mr Campbell smiled

"That son of yours never thinks of his family" He Said

"When last did you two talked?" Mrs Campbell asked

"We talked during the launch,but he never called back even though he promised to call back" Mr Campbell said 

"You know my brother is too busy" Melanie smiled,sipping from her tea

"Of course I know,I was planning to pay him a visit this weekend,I will take some side dish along,who knows if he's still skipping meals like before,sometimes I get scared for him" Mrs Campbell muttered sadly 

"Maybe he's a vampire" Melanie smirked and Mrs Campbell glared at her which made her laugh

"Don't look at my baby like that" Mr Campbell said

"Thank you daddy" Melanie grinned and Mrs Campbell scoffed 

She checked the time

"Gosh,I need to go" Melanie stood up

"You didn't tell us you have a boyfriend" Mrs Campbell said and Melanie's eyes widened

"Huh?"

"Lonnie" Mr Campbell smiled

'He told them he's my boyfriend? For real?' Melanie said inwardly

"Invite him over some time for dinner,he seems like a good boy" Mrs Campbell said and Melanie smiled

"Sure daddy!!! I will tell him,I love you!!!" She shouted,running out

"Cutest daughter" Mr Campbell said

"Enough of that" Mrs Campbell scoffed

"Are you jealous of your daughter now?" Mr Campbell teased

"You're mine okay?" Mrs Campbell said and he laughed. 

••••

<STARS COLLEGE>

Melanie stepped down from her car and closed the door,she just couldn't wait to set her eyes on Lonnie and tell him about tte dinner. 

She saw Wright as she walked toward the lecture hall

"Hey fox!!" She called and ran after him

"Fox" She tapped him and Wright turned,he removed his headphones 

"Cat eyes" He grinned

"Thanks for last night" Melanie said 

"Oh wow,that sounds like a medal in my ears" Wright touched his chest and Melanie chuckled but almost immediately she saw Lonnie

"See ya!" She said to Wright and walked away,his eyes followed her

"Seriously? Are they really dating?" Wright scoffed when Melanie got to Lonnie,he used his headphones again and continued walking,ignoring all the girls screaming out his name

"So,you told mom you're my boyfriend?" Melanie asked as she walked beside Lonnie

"I'm sorry" Lonnie said

"No,it's fine. I think they like you,they said I should invite you over for dinner sometime" Melanie said

"Really?? When?" Lonnie asked

"I don't know,I will tell you" Melanie replied and Lonnie smiled

"Your mom is really cool" He said

"Sure,all my family are cool,have you met my brother?" Melanie askrd

"No,but I see him on TV,I don't believe I'm ever going to meet that idol" Lonnie said and Melanie laughed

"So,how about we go out tonight? I need to tell you something" Lonnie said and Melanie swallowed

"Really?" 

"Yeah" Lonnie winked and she nodded

"I will pick you up" Lonnie said

"Okay" Melanie muttered and bite her lips. 

They walked into the hall,Wright also came in and their eyes met but then he looked away and went straight to the back.

<GREGOR'S ISLAND>

"Last one" Jay said as he dropped the last bag on the floor in Annabella's supposed new room

"Thank you Jay,I'm definitely gonna pay back" Annabella said and Jay smiled

"How?" He asked

"Hmm....I will be preparing a meal for the twins tonight,I will bring yours" Annabella said

"Then,I can't wait to have a taste" Jay said and Annabella nodded

"Sure" 

"See you later Anna" Jay said and walked out of the room.

Annabella sighed out and looked around,the room is just few steps away from the twins room,it's big and really nice.

"Gosh" Annabella fell on the bed loudly

"Finally" She mumbled and looked around

"I need to start arranging my stuffs" She stood up again and started by cleaning the room even though it wasn't that dirty but still she made it even more cleaner. She arranged her clothes in the wardrobe and other things,after that she took her bath and put on something light. Just a tank top and a skirt,she checked the time and it's almost four

"The fried rice" She muttered and immediately walked out of the room

The twins will close from school by five,she will prepare the meal and keep it warm till it's time for dinner. 

As Annabella walked out of the room,she bumped into Maggie

"Anna!" Maggie called

"Oh Maggie,I've not seen you all day" Annabella saud

"I've been busy working" Maggie said

They went downstairs together

"I heard you will be the one cooking for the twins tonight" Maggie said

"Yeah,they insisted" Annabella said and Maggie smiled

"It's such a miracle that they likes you" Maggie chuckled

"I was also surprised,they said it to my face that they don't like me" Annabella said

"Then you're lucky" Maggie smiled

"I don't think you will be able to go with Jay to pick the kids from school today" Maggie said as they entered the kitchen

"Yeah I guess,do you have all the ingredients to prepare fried rice??" Annabella asked

"We have everything in the house Anna,everything" Maggie said and Annabella smiled

"What do I expect?" She muttered and started checking

"I can help if you want" Maggie said

"Sure,help me out" Annabella said and they both started,Annabella was the one doing the cooking while Maggie helped In the way she could.

<5:30>

"Nanny!" Alex was the first to run into the kitchen

Annabella just finished cooking and the aroma still filled the air

"Wow,I'm so hungry right now" Alex said and touched his tummy

Casey also came in

"Kids,you don't have to come into the kitchen" Annabella said,leading them out

"When are we eating? I was thinking about your fried rice all day" Alex said 

"That's a lie Alex,you were busy running after Jenny in school" Casey said

"That doesn't mean I wasn't thinking about fried rice" Alex said

"Who's Jenny by the way?" Annabella asked,holding Casey as they climbed the stairs

"Jenny is Alex's........"

"Don't say it!!!!!" Alex screamed and Casey laughed

"No secret,tell me Casey" Annabella said

"No Casey,Twins code remember?" Alex saud

"Jenny is Alex's crush!!" Casey shouted and ran off

"You're a traitor!" Alex ran after her

"Seriously" Annabella chuckled,watching as they ran after each other 

They entered the room,Alex and Casey still continue their arguments.

"Kids!!!" Annabella shouted and they both faced her

"How about you both freshen up first? You're sweating too much" Annabella said

"Okay Nanny" they said

••

"How's it?" Annabella asked as the twins ate a spoon from their food

"Nanny,how about you open a restaurant?" Alex asked and Annabella almost screamed

"You're the best chef I've ever seen nanny" Casey raised her thumb

"And you two are the best twins in the whole world" Annabella said and they smiled

"You should start cooking for us everyday" Alex said

"Daddy will increase your salary,I will tell him" Casey grinned

"Isn't she leaving in two weeks time?" Alex asked in a whisper into Casey's ear and Casey frowned

"Get off" She pushed Alex's head and Alex laughed While Annabella wondered what they are talking about,she also ate with them.

Casey and Alex kept on eating,rushing the food.

"Kids calm down,don't get hurt" Annabella said.

"I prefer when you call us Cutie" Alex said .

"Oh,sorry cutie" Annabella said and they smiled .

"Eat up" she stroked Alex's hair.

••••

<9PM>

Annabella walked out of her room,she was thirsty as she slept on the bed,the twins slept so early today after doing their assignments. 

She went downstairs and almost turned to the kitchen when she heard the door opened,she stopped immediately and turned to see Gregor coming in.

"Welcome Mr Bells" Annabella bowed,hoping He's going to reply this time around

"Thanks" Gregor muttered and went upstairs. 

Annabella breathe out and went into the kitchen,she took a bottle of water and uncapped it immediately,after drinking she made to go out but suddenly stopped.

"Is he not hungry?" She muttered and groaned

'Should I give him if he's gonna eat?' She thought and roughed her hair

She finally decided to try at least,,if he's not going to yell at her. 

She arranged everything in the food tray and went upstairs,when she stopped by the door,she inhaled and exhaled before she finally knocked on the door. It was silent that she almost turned back to leave but then the door opened,revealing Gregor who just finished taking his bath,his hair was still dripping in wetness even though he was already dressed in his night wear. 

He looked at her face and then down to her hand

"I...made dinner" Annabella said nervously 

"You?" Gregor asked and Annabella's heart skipped a beat

"The twins insisted I cook for them,I'm sorry. I will just take it back if you don't want to" Annabella said

"Bring it in" Gregor said and entered

Annabella exhaled loudly and then followed him into the room,she dropped the tray on the table and stood there,debating in her head if she should dish it out for him or not. 

Gregor sat down and Annabella immediately opened the food,she handed over the cutleries to him and he took it.

"I will take my leave......"

"Stay until I'm done" Gregor muttered and Annabella bite ber lips,she doesn't want to stay and watch him eating her food,she was so scared. 

Gregor finally ate a spoon of the fried rice and Annabella swallowed hard,watching as he chewed slowly,he took another spoonful and then another and another

Annabella couldn't help but to smile watching him 

Soon,Gregor ate half of the food and then drank the water,ignoring the wine.  Annabella almost asked him how the food was but she kept quiet.

"Did they ate a lot of this?" Gregor asked,breaking the silence

"Yes sir..." Annabelle replied and Gregor nodded

"It tastes amazing" He said

"Thank you sir!" Annabella said rather too loud and she immediately covered her mouth

"Sorry" She muttered and began packing the dishes

"Thanks for the food" Gregor's voice came and she froze on the spot 

"Huh?" Annabella acted like she didn't hear that

"You can go" Gregor said

"Goodnight Mr Bells" Annabella said and immediately rushed out

Gregor chuckled

"Drama Queen" He muttered.
