“No, they didn’t let me go. Mr Forrester received a job offer in Philadelphia, and the family moved away.” She answered and gave me an irritated look.

Miss Watkins hadn’t responded to me as expected. I thought she’d be more submissive, but she was so confident, so defiant.

“How convenient.”

“Excuse me, sir? Are you implying that I’m lying? Maybe your opinion is biased because of what happened last night? You can call the Forresters for a reference if you’d like. Honestly, I’m not sure why I’m even here if you aren't willing to give me a chance anyway. I thought this interview was for your daughter,” she stated firmly while giving me a heated glare.

My cock stiffened again.

I sucked in a sharp breath and told myself not to lose control around this woman.

“I’m impartial. I’m only offering you an opportunity.” I ran my fingertips along my jaw.

Laura followed the movement of my hand and inhaled. It seemed like she was just as affected by me as I was by her. The atmosphere in the room grew heavy and oppressive with the tension.

“What else would you like to know about me?”

Everything. I wanted to discover every detail of her life and know if she was ready to obey my commands.

She shifted on the sofa, showing more of her thigh.

“Why do you think you were called last night?”

“I don't know, but it was likely because of my roommate, Veronica. She works as an escort, and maybe that call was intended for her.”

“Your flatmate works for an exclusive escort service?” I wondered why this woman wasn’t involved in the same line of work. It was strange—a nanny and a prostitute under one roof?

Laura bit her bottom lip, and a rush of pre-cum beaded on my cock.. She had me captivated. What the fuck?

She glanced at me in horror, as if she’d said too much.

“My big mouth.” She sighed. “Please, Spencer, I don’t want to get Veronica into any trouble. She’s been covering my rent ever since—”

She paused. I assumed Veronica was the one who was supposed to show up last night. Before I could think of something appropriate to say and ease her nerves, there was a knock at the door, followed by Jeremy and an annoyed-looking Maja entering the room. It was still early, but she was ready for school. Jeremy’s nanny had been helping me out by getting her ready in the mornings.

“I apologise for interrupting.” Jeremy eyed Laura curiously. “But here’s Maja, and you must be the potential new nanny.”

“Nice to meet you.” Laura shook his hand.

As soon as Maja stepped in front of her, Laura’s face brightened with a radiant smile. Even the grumpiest person couldn’t resist it.

“No way, Dad! I don’t need a new nanny. I can take care of myself.” Maja scowled.

“Watch that attitude, young lady, and no, you cannot take care of yourself, and that’s why you need an adult who can make sure you’re not getting yourself into trouble. Besides, we have already talked about this. Addison can’t look after you all the time, and sometimes I've to be away abroad. Now, I’d like you to meet Laura.” I quickly stood and buttoned my suit.

My daughter rolled her eyes, but I followed Jeremy out, who kept staring back at Laura.

“Be back in five.”

“So this is who had you so flustered earlier on, Prime Minister? Interesting,” Jeremy said with a hint of amusement.

I wanted to wipe the smug smile off his face.

“I don't know what you’re talking about. She’s just a nanny, and I wasn’t flustered. Besides, I haven’t even vetted her yet. I don’t think she’s a good fit for Maja.”

“Why? Because she has already met you and decided that you’re too obnoxious to work with? Well, no surprise there, Sherlock.” He patted me on the back while I glowered at him. “You might be lucky if she lasts two days, but personally, I don’t see it. She seems a little fragile.”

“You may be right, but I don’t think Laura would take any nonsense from me or Maja. I need someone who can commit, because you know yourself how hectic my schedule is these days, so that’s why I’m giving her this chance,” I grumbled.
