Babysitter for the CEO

Leo watched Lisa do some stretches with annoyance. How long would she take? If she can’t play, she should just leave; not waste his time.

3 minutes later.

She finally said she was ready and the game started. Vanessa sat on a chair at a corner sipping juice.

******

5 minutes later, the game was unexpectedly still on. Lisa could not score a goal.

Vanessa sighed. Lisa met another match of hers.

She wasn’t allowed to cheer for the little bun nor was Lisa capable of psychic communication.

Lisa on the field was troubled.

‘What the… how could he be so good?’ she thought in exasperation. He was almost as good as her dad! No, she can’t lose. She can’t!

7 minutes later.

Lisa hadn’t still scored a goal. The goal keeper was a short bodyguard of Leo’s, but he could catch her ball every time. She became depressed and walked away from the field after kicking the ball. She had no hope of scoring a goal anyway.

Leo signalled the guard and he fell to the ground.

Vanessa immediately stood up to cheer.

“You won, baby. Look!”

Lisa turned her head to see the goal keeper guard rising from the grassy ground.

‘He didn’t catch the ball this time? That’s weird!’ Lisa thought.

From what she knew, he’d definitely catch the ball. She looked at Leo and said:

“Leonard, I concede defeat!”

She then turned to walk away.

“Mom, let’s go. I will not accept a fake pass. I know myself. I clearly failed.” she said sadly and continued walking away.

Vanessa sighed and chased after Lisa.

Leo stood there astounded.

“Why didn’t she accept? Wasn’t she so eager to reconcile?” he thought, then ran after them. He caught up with them at the garage.

“Lisa… Lisa wait.”

“Mum, I don’t wanna see him. Please let’s go.” Lisa got into the car and put on grey and black stripped headphones.

“Lisa… Ma’am, please let me talk to her. it’s not gotten to this stage.” Leo said in worry.

“Boy, we’ll be leaving. She’s in a bad mood right now. Sometime later, okay?” Vanessa patted his shoulders and got into the car.

“Lisa, I’ll see you in school on Monday. Let’s talk things out, okay?” he yelled even though Lisa could not hear him as she’d turned the music to highest volume.

“Mom, please let’s go.” she said and looked at her shoes.

Vanessa sighed again and drove out of the garage.

Seeing them leaving, Leo turned around to go back into the house.

His personal bodyguard was awaiting him.

“You know, that girl has the strength. She’s good and would have won if I were normal. Yeah, she did make me suffer but she’s ignorant and not all bad. I want to reconcile with her. I miss playing with her actually. What do you suggest?” he asked as he headed to his study.

“Young master, it’s up to you. She did her best to get your forgiveness and show her sincerity. You do the same to show you want to be friends again.” said the bodyguard as he ate a sweet.

“It’s gonna be a long journey then, considering how obstinate she can be.” Leo mumbled.

“Young master, time to practice.” a female nanny said with her head bowed.

“I’m in no mood for that. Tell the teacher to leave.” Leo said unhappily.

“Young master, your father requested for a live recording of you dancing with happiness. He wants you to be a responsible man when you grow up.” the nanny then turned around to leave.

“You…” Leo was left speechless.

This evil nanny must have reported him skipping the damn dance classes again. She won’t get away with this! *********

Vanessa took Lisa to a dance teaching center called ‘Blendz’.

They teach salsa, Hiplet, Ballroom, Ballet, Jazz, Break, Tango, Waltz, Aerial and Belly dances. It’s your choice which one you wanna be taught. Vanessa took the little one to register and wait for their turn to be tested by the appointed appraisal. Registration was 30 dollars; non-refundable!

The one who’d delare you as fit for the dance lessons was the Appraisal master. If he says you aren’t suited, just quietly leave.

Lisa bought a VIP card and directly went in after the last person came out of the office.

The person who appraised seems to be in his 30’s and had thick blonde eyebrows. He was average looking but possessed this aura that made one cringe subconsciously.

Lisa walked to him and sat on the chair, cross-legged. Then she began her introduction without being asked.

“I’m Lisa, 3 years old and I’m here to learn belly dance today. And if I like the lessons, I’ll stay. Gimme a price.” she said while fiddling with her hair.

“Girl, how are you sure you are even eligible to pass the test?” the man asked.

“What;s your name?” Lisa asked back.

“Collen Rockers!” he said.

“Good. Now, the answer to your question is… I am someone you can’t afford to offend.”she said casually.

“Well, I can offend whomever I want. That annoying father of yours wouldn’t banter with me if I reject you. He’d even thank me.” Collen said.

“I might as well call him now.” Lisa took out her phone.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Hey kid, it hasn’t gotten to that. Alright, you said you wanted to learn belly dance. Why do you want to do so? What is your thinking about the dance? What is its message?”

“Can we just skip to the dancing part? I am flexible, smart and pretty. Stop asking me useless questions.” she said.

“Relia, Relia, you make me laugh.” he said with a chuckle.

“Eh?” Lisa gasped. “How do you know my healer name?” she asked in disbelief.

“Well, maybe that’s because I’m your relative.” he said cooly.

“Relative? You know my mother?” she asked, sounding somewhat hopeful. Did this man really know her biological mother?

“Your mom was the queen. I was merely a bodyguard in the palace. There are some things you can’t know now but your mum loves you and will always love you.” he said.

“What do you mean? Is she alive? But my dad said she’s dead!” Lisa asked.

“Kiddo, just know this, when the time is right, you’ll get the answers you seek- all of them. I can promise you that.” he said with a smile and handed her a form.

“Back to business. I need you you to fill this form, then we can go straight to see if you are eligible.” he said.

“Forget it! I’m not learning belly dance no more.” she stood up to leave,

“You’re like your mum. How about this? For each lesson, you can come to me and I’ll be answering your questions if I can. Maximum two questions for a lesson. What do you think?” he asked.

“I’ll fill the form.” she said tiredly in defeat.

She needed information about her planet and her mum. Maybe mommy Vanessa was even from the same planet with her’ who knows? There’s no harm in trying, right?
