AN AFFAIR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE'S SON

I woke up. I can't be late for my first ever job interview. I panicked. I can't lose this job, I need it desperately, I needed money for school, supporting my mom and my little brother. Besides, I heard they're crazily rich and the pay was just too good.

I helped my brother get ready for school, then I walked him to school. I arrived at the house sweating profusely.

“And you must be Liliana. Liliana Thompson?” The security asked. I nodded in response. He directed me in. The building on its own was another dimension from the outside world.

Guards were guarding the premises. A lady in her early fifties got the door.

“You are an hour late for the interview and I can't tolerate this behavior because you just proved you can't take this job seriously!” She spoke angrily. I could bet she was the billionaire's wife I've been hearing about.

A young man in his early twenties came over to us, and I guessed he was her son. He wore a hoodie over shorts and he had her resemblance. The brown hair and tiny eyeballs.

“You need to stop overreacting, mama. She's just an hour late. I understand we were so impatient to meet her” He said calmly rubbing her back softly. She breathed in and out, then she looked at him and sighed.

“Come on, in…” He signalled me as I walked in. The house was well furnished, the cool breeze from the air conditioners welcomed me in. I looked around. The inside of the building was larger than I imagined.

I was asked to sit on the couch and without hesitation, I did.

“So, are you aware of why we're employing you?” The lady asked.

Of course, they already told me they needed someone to be a nanny, more like someone to take care of her sons.

“Yes ma'am” I nodded.

The lady whispered something to her son, and he got up immediately.

“Are you in the university though? ” Her gaze traveled from my head down to my knees.

I nodded positively, “but right now, we're on holidays, so I'm just trying to make the best of it” She nodded her head as though she were impressed.

“You know, my sons, they don't stay here. They're only here now because of school breaks" I pretended to show concern as I secretly prayed I get the job.

Two minutes later, the boys joined us. I've heard so much about this family. They were identical twins with different personalities. One is icy and distant, while the other twin is lively and enjoys company.

“You must be the twins I've been hearing about,” I said with a broad smile.

“And you must be our nanny. Actually, you look more like our baby sitter than a nanny” One of the twins replied with a smirk. I could swear I was burning inside. Who did he think he was to talk to people like that?

I rolled my eyes. Actually, he was right, they looked tied around age twenty-two or twenty-four at most, meanwhile I am just twenty.

“Anyway, this is Lilly…” Their mom interrupted.

“Liliana” I corrected.

“Liliana, these are my sons; Nathan and Noah” She said, pointing at the both of them. I was confused as to who Nathan or Noah was because they looked literally alike, no much difference at all. All what I needed to hear right now was that I got the job.

“You'll be coming over to take care of things three times a week” Their Mom continued, “because I assume your services won't be needed every time, plus we all have our personal lives, right?” I nodded as I paid close attention to all what she said, then she went ahead to ask which days I choose to come over.

“Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays” I blurted out.

“That's fine. Please take good care of my sons. They are my precious jewelries and all I have" She instructed.

“Yes ma'am”

“You got the job. Congratulations!” My face beamed with a smile. Just what I needed to hear.

“And most importantly, I beg of you, do not fall in love with my boys” she stated very seriously.

At first, I thought she was kidding until she began giving me instances of nannies they employed but ended up falling for her boys and at some point, they lost focus on their job.

“I promise you they're in good hands. I am only here for the money, so in that case, I'll focus only on my job here” I assured her.

“She's not even our type to begin with, so she would be wasting her time,” The first guy said, punching the other twin playfully on the arm.

I squeezed my fist. I was annoyed already, but I just smiled it off.

“Shut your trap, Nathan!” His mom cautioned.

“Ohhh, so he is the Nathan. The cold and distant twin who is always claiming savage, huh? " I thought to myself. Nathan appeared a bit taller and masculine than Noah. Noah was the nicer version of annoying Nathan.

“Uh oh. She's already staring, bro” Nathan said again, almost in a whisper but loud enough for me to hear.

I swear I had already stabbed him multiple times in my head.

“I hope you don't dream of us” He smirked mischievously and with that, he walked away.

“Don't mind my brother, he's always like that, but I promise you he's the sweetest soul if you get to know him” Noah said as soon as Nathan left.

“It's okay, I mean, didn't I sign up for these?” we both laughed, and then he offered to show me around the house.
