        { UNEXPECTED GRAB }

"Geez" Annabella sighed out and touched her chest the moment she got out of Gregor's room

"Why so scary" she muttered and took her lips in,staring at the opposite door.

"Then I guess it's this one" she said and slowly moved closer,she was just about to knock when her phone buzzed,she immediately opened the message,it's from Mrs Kim.

"Wow,she already left?? So fast" She said after reading the message and pulled back her phone into her hoodie pocket then knocked the door. No answer came so she opened the door and went in and was welcomed by four eyes,Casey and Alex are both sitting on the bed,staring at her as she entered. 

'Gosh,why are they making me so nervous?' Annabella thought and exhaled

"Hey cuties" She waved her hand,smiling brightly and making sure her voice came out nicely

Casey and Alex kept quiet,they only stared at her blankly.

Annabella sighed and moved closer

"How about we introduce ourselves?? I'm....."

"We are supposed to get ready between 7:30 and then eat,we should be leaving the house by 8am and now it's...." Alex showed her the time from the phone screen,it's 7:45. 

"How are you going to do it?" Casey asked

"Oh...I'm sorry. I just got informed this morning that I should start working,forgive me just this once" Annabella said 

"So...can you at least tell me your names? I need to know" she said

"I'm Casey and this is Alex. We are twins as you can see and we are six years old" Casey introduced and Annabella smiled

"I'm Annabella" She said

"How old are you?" Casey asked

"I don't think that is necessary Casey" Alex interrupted

"Right,we should get you two ready first" Annabella said

"I wonder how late we are going to be today" Casey muttered

"Not too late,trust me" Annabella said 

"Where are your uniforms?" She asked and Casey pointed toward another entrance.

"Oh..." Annabella muttered and opened tye door leading to the dressing room and her eyes widened

"Is this a mall?" She asked dumbly 

"No,they are ours,why?" Alex asked

"Nothing" Annabella muttered

"The uniforms" She asked again

"We don't wear uniform in our school,just dress us up nicely" Casey replied

"Oh then,trust me on this" She smiled and started searching for the outfits first.

<MINUTES LATER>

"What do you think?" Annabella asked

Alex and Casey are both dressed up and are checking themselves out in front of the mirror

"I love the way I'm dressed,it's amazing" Alex said happily and Annabella smiled

"Really?" 

Alex nodded

"And my hair too,how did you make it so shinny? I don't think Mrs Kim ever made them so shinny" Alex said 

"It's a secret" Annabella said

"Tell me" Alex said

"I will do that later,we should go ahead and eat" Annabella saud and Alex nodded.

Annabella turned to Casey who was still checking herself out

"Casey" She called

"You look pretty" Alex said

"I've always been pretty" Casey said

"Don't you like the dress? Or your hair....."

"Can we just go downstairs? Not like I have a choice" Casey rolled her eyes and walked into the bedroom,Alex followed her.

Annabella breathe out,at least Alex is better for now. She also walked into the bedroom and at that moment tge door opened and Gregor came in

"Daddy!" Alex immediately rushed to hug him

"See my hair daddy" He touched his hair

"You look so handsome" Gregor smiled

"I think our new nanny is a goof stylist" Alex said and Gregor looked at Annabella,she almost turbed away to avoid his eyes but his eyes went to Casey almost immediately

"You look like an Angel sweet,are you okay?" He asked

"I'm hungry" Casey muttered

"Does your tummy hurt?" Gregor asked and she nodded

"We are on our way to eat,come on" Alex said

"Daddy is going to work right now,promise to be good kids" He said,opening his palms

"Promise" Alex and Casey said and placed their palms on his

"Good" Gregor kissed their cheeks and turned to Annabella

"Make sure they don't get hurt,I don't joke with them" He said

"I understand sir" Annabella said

"Bye daddy" Alex smiled

Gregor kissed his head again before he finally walked out of the room. 

Annabella sighed out and carried the twins backpacks 

"Let's go cuties" She said and led them out of the room. 

••••

<8:15AM>

"All done" Annabella smiled as the twins finally finished their breakfast

"It's 8:15,I think we made it a bit" She added

"Hey Anna" Maggie waved at her 

"Maggie" Annabella smiled but she couldn't wait as she followed Casey and Alex out of the house

Jay was already on his way inside when they got out

"Oh finally" He muttered and faced Annabella

"Are you the new nanny?" He asked

"Yes I am" Annabella replied

"My name is Jay,the boss's favorite driver" Jay said and Annabella chuckled

"Nice meeting you Jay,I'm Annabella" Annabella said

They got to the car and Theo opened the door

"Hi" Annabella greeted and Theo replied with a cold nod which confused Annabella

"He never smiles" Alex whispers to her when they entered the car

"Really?" 

"He's the best bodyguard here,an army" Alex added

"Oh wow,thanks for telling me Alex" Annabella said 

Theo joined Jay in front and Jay started the car

The drive to Oxford Elementary school took about thirty minutes,the twins were extremely late. 

"I'm sorry cuties,it's all my fault" Annabella said as she walked them toward their class

Their homeroom teacher was already in tge class

"Oh,,,,Alex and Casey. I was just about calling" She said

Alex and Casey entered the class and  Annabella could see some kids calling their names from different angles in the class which made her smile,she waved at them and Alex waved back but Casey rolled her eyes and ignored her.

She turned to leave but the homeroom teacher call her and she stopped

"Hello" She said

"Morning" Annabella greeted

"My name is Madison,the kids homeroom teacher" Madison introduced herself

"Nice meeting you" Annabella said

"So I was wondering....who are you?" Madison asked

"I'm....." Annabella almost talked

"Miss" Jay called from the back and she turned,Madison also looked up

"Jay" Annabella said

"We should go back now" Jay said 

Annabella faced Madison again

"We can talk next time" She said and without waiting for her response,she walked away.

"Miss?? Why is he calling her miss? Is she in any sort of relationship with Gregor?" Madison muttered 

"I should call that fool" She added before going into the class. 

••

"What was she asking you?" Jay asked as they walked toward the car

"She was asking me who I am" Annabella replied

"Don't say anything to her" Jay said

"Why?" Annabella asked 

"Coz we are mindful of people we talk to about the family or anything going on in the island,so just ignore her the next time she ask you" Jay said and Annabella nodded even though she was still curious to know more. 

They got to the car and Jay opened the door for her

"You don't have to" Annabella said

"I should,I am also your driver from now on" Jay said and Annabella smiled

"Thanks" She muttered and entered

Jay started the car

"Casey doesn't seem to like you" he said

"Yeah I know,Alex doesn't like me either. They told me the first time they saw me" Annabella said

"Wow,the first time??" Jay asked

"Yeah" 

"Alex is not that bad,but he follow anything Casey says,that's the only problem. Casey is a hard but to crack so don't get on her bad side" Jay said

"I won't,thank you Jay" Annabella muttered and rest her back

"Hey dude,why are you so quiet? Have you met Annabella? She's the twins Maid" Jay said

"Hi Anna,call me Theo" Theo said in his deep voice 

"Stop" He said and Jay stopped the car

"I need to get a bottle of water" Theo said and got down from the car

"Oh,I thought he doesn't talk" Annabella said and Jay laughed

"Of course he does,he just take his job too seriously" Jay said and Annabella smiled

"But trust me,he's one of the nicest person in the world" Jay said

"Wow" Annabella muttered

Theo returned after a minute and they took off.

Melanie was pressing her phone as she walked beside the pool,she was actually chatting with Lonnie who's not I'm school today. She kept on smiling as she walked,her eyes focused on her phone.

Meanwhile Wright was sleeping on the bench close to the pool,his headphone In his ear. He always come here to sleep anytime he doesn't feel like attending a lecture. 

Melanie was still walking when suddenly she missed a step and fell straight into the pool

"Ahh!!!' She screamed out and kept on struggling In the pool since she's a bad swimmer.

"Gosh,who's that noise maker?" Wright muttered and opened his eyes,his eyes went to the pool and saw Melanie.

"Geez,that ungrateful cat eyes again" He muttered and dropped hia headphones before standing up

He walked to the pool and pushed his hand into his pocket

"Should I help you?" He asked

Melanie couldn't reply with the fear of the water

"Gosh,I don't know why I'm always the one" Wright muttered and pulled off his shoes before jumping into the pool

He grabbed Melanie by the waist,trying to make her balance In the pool. She was already gasping for breath

"Breathe properly cat eyes" Wright said

Melanie breathe in and then out,she continue doing that till she came back to normal

She opened her eyes and her eyes widened when she says Wright,she tried pushing him off but she lost her balance again

"When will you ever be grateful? I should have just left you to die" Wright rolled his eyes and carried her over his shoukder

"Hey!! What do you think you're doing?!" Melanie screamed,throwing her legs in the air

"I'm saving you from death" Wright replied and finally dropped her by the pool edge

"Why will you be walking here when you can't swim?" He scoffed

"Don't show off,nobody ask for your help" Melanie said with shaking lips

"I see you're just as stubborn as the cat you are" Wright said

Melanie rub her arm

"Go and change if you don't want to die of cold" He said and came out of the pool too

He went to pick his headphone and walked away

Melanie exhaled

"Gosh,I think I'm going crazy already" She muttered and hit her head.

About thirty minutes later,Gregor entered the house. He almost passed tge living room to tge stairs but his eyes caught with the sleeping Annabella and he stopped,he turned ajd walked back to check who it was and he saw her face.

But his hand grabbed her @ss instead

immediately Annabella's eyes widened and she gasped out loudly.
