All Chapters of The Billionaire's Babysitter Deal: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“How have you been, girl? We miss you!” Aly’s cheerful energy was a breath of fresh air for Therese. She tossed over her bed and angled her phone camera sideways to get a better view of the video call. The call served as a distraction from everything that’s happening to her lately.“I’m doing great. Getting a lot of rest, as you can see.” She replied sarcastically, pulling her blankets up so it covers half of her face. “...before you called me.” “Oh, stop it. I have a surprise for you.” The girl with glasses almost jumped up her seat in excitement. Judging by the blur of trees on Aly’s peripheral, Therese could tell that her best friend was in a moving car. When she switched to the back camera mode, she didn’t miss the image of a certain smiley man who always wears his hair in a bun. “Is that Jayce?”Apparently, she was in a loud speaker mode since Jayce greeted her despite his face not reaching the view. She heard a distant, “what’s up, Therese?” in the background that Aly was quic

Therese’s nerves were on high alert. Everything in her surroundings appeared in a blur as she focused on pumping her grandmother’s chest. “Which way is the shortest to the hospital?”“Take the left route.”“Got it.” Raven drove as fast as he could while Anthony led the way. Never in her wildest dreams did Therese imagine that the two rival men would work together as a team for the sake of someone important to her. Jayce and Aly were in a different car, but they were headed in the same direction. She counted inside her head. 1,2,3…pump. Repeat. She poured her heart and soul to every solid press of her palm over Ofelia's body, hoping it was enough to extend her life. Therese watched her grandmother’s sleeping face with watery eyes. She shook her head to brush any negative thoughts away. Despite her skin getting paler and paler and her pulse rate getting weaker and weaker as time went by, Therese held on to the belief that Ofelia wouldn’t leave her like this. Not when they still have

“How dare you pull something like that?! You made me worried sick!” “Aww!” Anthony rubbed his right arm which Therese punched heavily. She didn’t care if he was sitting on a hospital bed with a cast on his left leg. She’ll beat him up for almost giving her a heart attack. “I told you…it wasn’t my fault. The nurse just panicked when I lost consciousness for like five minutes. You know how everyone is anxious here.” He defended himself. It turned out that Anthony fell miserably from a metal ladder while he was repainting the ceiling of the cafe’s bar. It wasn’t a serious accident, yet it left him with a broken leg. “Still…” Therese looked at him with worried eyes. Now that her head was clearer, her heart didn’t flutter anymore when Anthony flashed an embarrassed smile at her direction. The butterflies in her stomach were nowhere to be found too. Worrying for him is like worrying for a brother. She knew that now. “About the emergency contact thing…sorry about that. I did it when I

But again, sooooo expensive T___TBlack Raven: Don’t you dare worry about money. You’re my girlfriend now, let me spoil you…mmkay?Therese heaved a defeated sigh before smiling from ear to ear at her exchange of message with him.She knew that if Raven is like this, there’s no arguing with him anymore. Although she would admit, her heart was jumping out of joy from all the attention she’s getting from her boyfriend.Boyfriend. The word sent her blushing like a teenager. What can she say? She’s just a girl. She can’t wait to see him and Keith again later. But for now, she has all the time for herself. “I think I’ll treat myself today.” She muttered to no one, walking around

2 Months Later“I wonder if I’m wearing the correct attire…”Therese bit her lip while staring at her reflection in the mirror. She wondered if a backless, sparkly blood-red gown was enough to make her look expensive for the night. For the Desmond ball. If she was being honest, she was torn between looking forward to the event and dreading it. Because for starters, she’s never attended such an expensive, elegant party for rich people before. She felt like she would just embarrass herself with her lack of finesse or be out of place due to her clumsiness. But on the other hand, she was excited to feel pretty too! Just the other night, Raven told her that he can’t wait to flex her as his girlfriend. He couldn’t wait to show the world that he had the most beautiful woman as a date for the night. She remembered not being able to hide her blush at his words. Now, she was nervous. “Whatever! I’ll just fake confidence ‘til I’m not faking it anymore.” She mumbled to herself before slidin
