Finally, we make it back home and Maisey runs inside and goes to her room, I follow her.
“I’m going to nap, you don’t need to read me a story,” Maisey shuts the door in my face.
Shock fills me.
What did I do to upset this little girl? She always wants me to read her a story. My heart aches at the thought of Maisey being upset with me. I walk to my room and sit down on my bed with my head in my hands.
Pulling out my phone, I see that my phone background is a picture of Maisey and I start to wonder if I am in too deep.
What is going to happen once Parker and I fake break up? Will I still be Maisey’s nanny? Will I have to find a new family to nanny for? Will my nannying reputation be ruined if people think I got with my boss?
This last thought makes my blood run cold.
Why had I not thought of that before? This was risky but it is too late to back out now.
I have faith that things will work out but my fears are starting to creep in.
Laying down on my bed, I pull my knees up to my chest and let the tears flow from my eyes.
Chapter 14 - Parker Madison
“So… I heard Camdyn Schriefer was your nanny before becoming your fiancée?” Cynthia asks as soon as I walk into the office.
I freeze before nodding and walking into my office.
“So, you finally gave a nanny a chance huh? I didn’t take you for that type.”
“Shut up Cynthia,” I say as I set my briefcase down and open my work laptop.
“I’m just saying boss, people will talk and talk isn’t always good for the company.”
“I know Cynthia. Trust me I know.”
“I also just don’t want to see you hurt. You and I both know most nannies are in it for the money,” Cynthia takes a seat across from me.
Glaring at her, I pull up my schedule for the day and see a board meeting with Lila, Stanley, and Earl in an hour.
“What’s this board meeting about?”
“What do you think? Your new squeeze of course. It’s all anyone can talk about.”
I swallow, not liking Cynthia’s tone.
“I think you should go,” I finally made eye contact with her.
Cynthia shrugs before getting up, “All I am saying is be careful. We don’t need another Nicoli Petrovich on our hands.”
I want to throw my laptop at the now closed door but refrain. Nicoli and Cam are nothing alike and Nicoli was never my nanny.
Hating the thought that people think I am taking advantage of Cam makes me feel ill. They can never know the truth but the insinuation is just as bad. Everyone knows I go through nannies like I change my underwear but that is not my fault but theirs. I cannot help it that I am rich, good looking, and successful. It just means some women, especially the nannies I’ve had, want to take advantage of me but Cam is different. She agreed to be my fake fiancée for my sake and Maisey’s. She is caring, beautiful, and so kind. My heart aches just thinking about her and how I’ve been ignoring her but alas, in order to protect my heart I have too.
After moping around for an hour, it is finally time for the board meeting.
“Hello gentlemen and lady, what do I owe this pleasure?”
“Ah, Parker, we just want to talk to you about your new fiancée,” Earl says with a grin. “We really like her and think you should bring her around more.”
“Really?” I ask, startled by their words. They never wanted me to bring Nicoli around.
