Episode 8
Pim finally arrived at her destination, looking at the wealthy building her mouth were open the whole time, finding it hard to believe the indescribable building in front of her.
"What the hell?
Is this a house or a paradise?"
It was so huge and round and was painted in a ash color and a water spring was right at the center of the house.
The floors were smoothly floored and there were about more than a garages in the compound with different classic cars filled in them. Those were just the little parts of the building Pim could see at the facade.
It look more bigger than an estate.
She came out of the car and stood like a statue, looking around.
It was said the M-M mansion was one of most expensive building in the country and it was indeed true.
It looked like heaven to Pim. She can't believe she's gonna be staying here.
Pim was still standing confoundedly when a fellow came upto her from the house.
"Hey miss, are you Pimento?" He asked and Pim nodded, wondering whom he might be.
"Okay. Please come in. Mrs Linda already told me about you" he said warmly and collected the bag from Pim and started walking into the house.
Pim followed.
He was young and neartly dressed, with an assumption Pim figured he was probably a worker there since all the workers were males.
She followed him into the sitting room which was breath taking. Pim couldn't admire it for long because Zoey came in immediately.
"Aunty Pim!" She called and ran to Pimento, embracing her.
She was putting on a short jeans and a white top with a teddy bear on her hand.
"Hey, good to see you again" she told Zoey and she smiled.
The fellow with Pim bag had made use of the staircase.
She looked around and noticed they actually had two different staircase - one at the right and one at the left.
"Oh! You're here" Pim heard someone say and she turned to see Mrs Linda climbing down the right staircase.
She was putting on a short black gown and set of blue heels looking so stunning. They were no doubt in why Zoey and May also had such good looks.
"Good evening Mrs Linda" Pim greeted with a little bow.
"Good evening dear. And Welcome. I'm really happy to know you accepted my proposal.
As for the studio, I'm already on it and you can start training tomorrow if you want".
She paused and checked her time.
"I'm off to a meeting now. So maybe we'll talk better when I get back. Zoey, get Jacob to show Pim to her room, okay?" She said and headed for the door and Zoey followed her behind.
"Get me some chocolates on your way back, mummy" she said as she followed her to the door and Pimento smiled watching them.
"Are you the new nanny?" A soft voice spoke firm behind and Pim turned and saw a young, handsome fellow standing in front of her.
She looked at him from head to toe and noticed he was putting on an apron.
"Uhm...yes" Pim replied, trying to get together.
"Wow! I never expected to see a female worker here again. I hope yours will be different.
Anyway, I'm Jacob and I'm the chef" he said and brought out his hand for a handshake.
"I'm Pimento, you can call me Pim in short" Pim replied with a smile and received the handshake.
Zoey had to joined them.
"Welcome to the mansion, Pim. Please come with me" he said and started walking away Pim and Zoey followed him.
They took the left staircase and came out to a big place with different rooms.
"We do have the servants quarters" he said. "But since you're Zoey's nanny, Mrs Linda had suggested you stayed here in the main building".
Pim nodded and followed him to a room which he upended and they all walked in.
"This will be your room, Pim" he said as they walked in Pim eyes deamed.
"Wow!
Is this really going to be my room? It was outstanding!"
"Don't worry Jacob. I'll take it from here. You can go" Zoey said to him and he chuckled and looked at me.
"You're lucky she likes you, Pim" he said. "At least there's a sure possibility of you staying here".
Pim cleared her throat and sighed.
It seems Mayor May is going to be the only problem she'll be having here.
"Okay, Zoey; i'll be leaving you to your new nanny. Don't get her into trouble, okay?"
"Sure Jacob" Zoey replied and he left the room.
"What do you think about your new room, nanny?" She asked and Pim nodded frequently.
"it's okay. I love it" She replied and paused to look at her.
"Uhm...your auntie isn't at home, is she?" Pim asked.
"Nope. But she'll be back soon". Little Zoey answered.
"Oh! Is she aware you're having a new nanny?" Pim further questioned.
"Huh? Who would dare tell her? It's better she sees it for herself". Zoey replied.
Oh-oh.
so they haven't even told May yet? What would her reaction be when she finds out?
"Come with me nanny; let me show you to my room" Zoey said and she held Pim hand they both left her room together.
She took her back to the sitting room and climbed the right staircase and Pim followed her.
Wow!
"This looks just like a different house on its own." She mumbled.
She took Pim to a room which is opened and immediately they stepped in, Pim noticed it was her room because there were lots of toys around.
There was a ipad on the bed and two other big phones as well.
"This is my room, nanny" Zoey said excitedly and spread her hands around.
"it's uhm. .its beautiful' Pim said with a nod.
She smiled and further took Pim to her dressing room and a gasped left Pim.
"How can a kid have such clothes and jewelries?" Wow! They really spoil her a lot".
Zoey went on showing Pim her favorite clothes, shoes, bags and jewelries and Pim was speechless.
Then she took Pim out of the room, probably to show her around. But when they got outside her room, she paused.
"That's my aunty room" she said and pointed to the room facing hers.
Huh?
"T...That's May's room?" Pim asked and she nodded.
OMG!
So her room is actually close to hers?" she gasped.
On the door was a gold lettered inscription "M-M" which means Mayor May.
Pim smiled as she looked at it.
"Come on nanny; let me show you to the rest of the room" she said and took her hand and they left the passage.
She took Pim to another part of the staircase and showed her to the room of the remaining family members.
Then she took Pim outside and showed her round the house.
They had swimming pools, a big beautiful garden,a time-out place and so much more.
The building was just too exquisite.
"How old are you, Zoey?" Pim suddenly asked.
'Five" she replied and Pim sighed.
She probably wouldn't have any idea about Crystal.
They talked about other things and they got to know more about Zoey
She was in junior school and her school was actually close too.
They went back to the sitting room and Pim admired the decorations there.
The M-M pictures were pinned on the wall and they all looked cute in them.
Just then, she heard a dog barking and she quickly turned and saw a puppy coming towards her.
"What? There was a dog In the house?"
it kept coming to her with full speed and Pim became scared. "Does it want to attack me or something?"
Luckily, Zoey got in the way.
"Hey, Tidy; calm down" she said and squatted on the floor and it stopped in front of her.
She rubbed his head but it still looked at Pim and barked.
"Come on Tidy; don't be mean to the newbie" Zoey said and immediately, he barked loudly at her and she shouted and stood up.
Then he ran outside.
"Gosh! That dogs so stubborn. Just like his owner" she said with an irritated look.
"Who owns it?" Pim asked.
"Well, it's Mayor May. It's her pet. He's so stubborn and the only person has friendly with is May.
He's so annoying" she replied witha temper and Pim scoffed.
"Nanny, why don't you sing for me or read a novel for me? Zoey asked in an appealing tone.
"Uhm... Zoey, I...I know, but. .."
"But what?" She cut in and Pim sighed.
Just then, they heard the sounds of cars driving in and Zoey rushed to the window to check it out.
She gasped and covered her mouth with her palm.
"Oh, my God, nanny; the Mayor May's is back!" She exclaimed and Pim eyes widened and she sprang on her feet.
Really!
She also rushed to the window and confirmed it. It was really her! Other people was still with her. Her business friends.
Numerous cars had driven in and parked in the garage and she came out from four of the cars with securities around them.
But the securities stopped at the garage while they started approaching the house.
Oh, my! She is here! She is going to see me. What's going to happen now?
"I...I think you should hide, nanny" Zoey said and Pim looked at her.
Does she expect her to keep hiding the whole time?
"Oh! What do we do?" Zoey said with a grouch.
"May might be really mad when she sees you. Maybe you should just run away".
"Gosh; this girl only adding to my problems. Does she think this is a game?" Pim scoffed.
She stood confused and thought of what to do and just then, the door opened and she walked in.
O...M...G!
This has really happened.
They were all putting on the Mayor May walked in.
They all stopped the moment they saw Pim.
"What the..." one of they lady tried speaking, but didn't complete it.
"A female in the house?" another asked.
Pim just stood confoundedly; downing nervously.
Then finally, May took off his specs and gave Pim a look she could never forget.
"What the hell are you doing here?" He asked and Pim felt her breath seizing.
Oh, Goodness.
"Maybe I should've taken Zoey's advice.
Maybe, I should've ran away."
