CHAPTER 4

No!, this can't possibly be a human. He was more like a demigod..... if not more than that.

"Hi, Mr Gauthier." She wanted her voice to come out well, but it came out more like a squeak. Get a hold of yourself Lesley!. she groaned internally.

"Please come over miss Perkins." Came his soft reply. Lesley felt weak at the knees as she walked to where he was. She took a sit opposite him, and unwillingly found herself drooling.

His face was flawless, chisseled chin, perfectly arched brows and his lips set in a hard line, a non smiling one. His hair looking so soft she wanted to run her hands through it. Those abs visible through the light shirt he wore were more than normal ones.

"It's a relief that finally Hazel has found someone she likes, and for the first time she didn't gripe about the new nanny." Gary started as he watched her.

Lesley watched him move his lips as he spoke, such flawless American accent!. How could one be this perfect?..

"uh... umm..... I'm elated she accepted me... Mr Gauthier." she stuttered, raising her gaze to meet his. She noticed his eyes were the deepest shade of blue. They locked gazes for a second before Lesley broke contact, intimidated by his daunting gaze.

"Now you've been employed there are rules you'd follow, schedules you must keep to. I'd be glad of you can keep them Miss Perkins." He scrutinized her before continuing. "So do we negotiate your pay now, or you'd like to do that later on?" He queried. He crossed his long legs and took out a Cuban cigarette, , he lit it and he clenched it between his teeth. Lesley smoothened down her hair and bat her lashes.

"Well.... I suggest you tell me how much you'd pay me for the job ... any amount is fine." She responds Gary eyed her in amusement.

"Are you saying you're fine with whatever amount I pay you?. It's was in the advertisement miss Perkins, you don't need to be hesitant." He assures.

Lesley shook her head. " I'm fine with whatever pay you gon let me on." Lesley says firmly. Gary puffed out smoke as he spares her a glance.

"Well if you insist I'd watch how you take care of Hazel, that's gonna determine your pay...."

"Lesley!... " They both whipped thier heads to see Hazel shriek in excitement and bounding down the stairs.

"I've been waiting for you in like forever!." She throws her arms around Lesley in excitement. Lesley stiffened at the contact before ruffling her hair. Gary raised his brows.

"Hazel, I hope you won't give your nanny a hard time?" Gary voiced out clearly surprised to how quick she'd taken to her new nanny.

Hazel took the lunch pack from Lesley and unwrapped the foil. She took out a piece of muffin and bit into it.

"With a beautiful Nanny, no scratch that... a beautiful Lesley who makes tasty snacks like this.... I'd sure be staying with her forever." Hazel flashed her dad a grin. Lesley hung her head, heat crawling up her cheeks. Gary did his best to hide his surprise..

"Dad are you done with her?" She asked and when he nodded she turned to Lesley.

"C'mon Lesley let me give you a tour of the mansion!." She tells her in excitement, tugging Lesley by the hand towards the staircase and leaving Gary to stare in astonishment.

GARY GAUTHIER'S POV

•

I watch them walk out and seconds later I breathe out in relief. Finally Hazel has gotten a nanny she loves, I can rest now.

I had seen the cctv footage of the interview, the lady seems so caring. That's exactly what I want, someone to care for her, whenever I'm not available to do that.

Why did she have to choose that sort of girl anyways. One who's not interested in her pay. One with that sort of beauty. Well not everyone freaks out that I'm Gary Gauthier. My phone dings and I pull it out to check the caller. it's a private number. I swipe for the receive icon and place it against my ears.

📲

"Hey munchie." I go silent for a second, in which my hand grips tightly to the phone and my face goes taut.

"Brie!. .. what the heck do you want this time. I told you I never want you fuckin calling me!." I grit out through clenched teeth. She giggled; that annoying giggling that i so hate. I took a drag of my cigar and puff out smoke in annoyance.

"Awww.... c'mon baby stop acting so feisty. I missed you Gary.... I've missed us.... I've missed you riding on me, I've..." I disconnected the phone, tightening my grip on it and taking in deep breaths.

"Fuck!... can't she ever stop bothering my life! that phase of my life has passed!." I cuss. She always manages to get my contact no matter the times I changed it. I release my grip on the phone and dailed a line. It didn't have to ring too long.

"Ben come right away." I say into the phone and hung up. Getting off the couch I make my way inside the lift and leaned against the walls as It rode up.

She has a way of getting on my nerves. What else does she fuckin want, after all she'd done, after she ruined my life years ago. I got out once the door slides open and entered my office.

I walked to the glass walls overlooking the city, puffing out smoke on the glass and creating a mist. A hand snaked through my waist and I turned sharply.

"What in the world are you still doing here?". I barked at the girl who had kept me company the previous night. She flinched.

"C'mon Gary, I've always wanted to be more than a one night stand." She flashes a faux smile unbuttonii my shirt and planting kisses on my neck. I held her hand and pushed her away.

"Get the fuck out of my office and meet my P. A for your pay." I sent her a death glare.

She came forward again and started unbuttoning my pants. I moved away in annoyance, punched a button on my table, and a security man came inside immediately.

"Take this fucking whore out of my office."

"No!, Gary please don't do this to me!" She was tossed over his shoulders as she struggled to get free. I stuffed the half burnt cigarette into a ash tray.

"Good riddance." I breathe out as the door shut close. I lowered myself on the couch and took out my laptop.

LESLEY PERKINS' POV

"This is Gary musical room". Hazel informs as she opened another door. Hazel has been busy taking a tour of the mansion. Gosh.... my back aches from too much walking courtesy of the huge mansion.

"He comes here every night to play. No one has ever been here, except for you. She snapped her fingers and the light went off. She snapped it again dim red light flickered on casting it warm glows around the room

"Wow!... this could cost a fortune Hazel." She snapped it once more and the florescent lights flickered on again

"Yeah, Dad uses the latest technology in Newyork" She says proudly. She shut the door after stepping out.

"Dad is always busy and he ain't got a pinch of time for me... it sucks though. Always leaving me with those old grannies he calls nanny. All they do is sing the most horrible boring song I've ever heard."

I chuckle lowly, this kid's a psycho. We took the lift for the third floor... Hazel apartment. I walked into the living room they had used for the job interview and it had changed.

"Dad doesn't let me stay with him, so I have my own apartment." She voice out, a tinge of sadness in her voice.

Jeez!... this sounds so fucked up. Imagine leaving a girl this age on her own. she's just seven for fuck sake!. They went into her room as she sat down on the bed.

"So you mean your Dad has no time for you?". I ask sitting down beside her. She shrugged.

"He's away most of the time, barely comes to my room... and barely plays with me. Says he's got loads of work. Entices me with costly stuff I don't want." she scoffed in annoyance. I smiled in pity as I hugged her.

"But he still loves you Hazel. He wants the best for you. Don't worry I'd make sure you're never bored again okay?." she smiled and nodded

"I love you already Lesley. You're so different from my other nannies." She got down from the bed.

"The last one, a young girl, more like a slut though, cos shes always sitting at table applying dumb makeup, always around Dad. I think she came to baby sit him not me." She scoffed and Lesley couldn't hold back her laugh, jeez Hazel is way smarter than her age.

"Hazel how about playing the piano". I could teach you how to play a tune."

"You can play the piano?". she asked in excitement.

"Yeah Hazel, My dad had always taught me how to."

"Whoopie!." She screamed in excitement running over to sit on the stool in front of the piano. I smiled and walked towards her. Crazy kid.

BRIE'S POV

I cursed in annoyance as I threw my phone on the couch. I took a sip of the vodka and sat down on my bed. Jeez Gary seems to have gotten over me. But I can't seem to get him out of my mind, not when he's now the don of Newyork.

I'm Brie and I've got all a woman can ever have. Great body, the biggest modelling agency in carlifornia, fame, extravagant life, rich bitches as friends and a lot more you can imagine. But every woman loves a good man with a good dick. To satisfy your every desires. And the one I'm married to doesn't satisfy me anymore. Yuck!, it was never a love marriage though, just some fuckin partnership agreement.

Gary has always been an expert at that. The more reason I want him back. He's way more hotter than before, to crown it all, he hasn't gotten himself a new pussy. Alright I know I fucked up big time, everyone does make mistakes. Gary might be acting tough but I'm sure when he sees me, he'd realise how much he's missed me and how well he can't do without me. And there's nothing more exciting than paying your long lost love a surprise visit...
