Baby sitting a Billionaire

Chapter 7

It’s night time already and guess what? I've only been here for a day and yet I feel like I've been staying here for a month due to all the stress I've been through. My whole day is so tiring but it has yet to end.

“Luna, does this dress look good on me?” Moon asked. She have a date to attend tonight, and she have all day to prepare for it and yet she was still choosing what to wear in that supposed date right about now. I mean her date is about 15 minutes away and she’s not half way done yet. She still doesn't have her make up on, and she's still not decided what dress she should wear when she already have pulled out many from her closet, she hasn't even picked out a shoes yet! She was not prepared at all, it was even like an impromptu date. I don't think she’s even that excited to meet whoever her date is.

“I think anything looks good on you.” I commented, tired from watching her trying on dress after dress.

“I want to look perfect.” She said.

I know what you’re thinking. You may be thinking that my boss is so kind for asking my opinion about how she looks right? or that I'm the luckiest and I should be happy that she let me inside her room to help her choose a dress, right?

But nah. I’m sorry to pop your bubbles but none of that is true because she was actually blackmailing me. She told me to help her choose a nice dress for her supposed "date this evening" without her getting late coz if not, then I will be punished. We've been at it for hours now, and I think she have already tried wearing every dress there in her closet and I've been telling her how good she looks everything, but every dress that I've praised her on, she rejects it. She'll ask for my opinion and yet she won’t approve of it, I even think she’s doing it on purpose just so she could be late and I'll get to be punished! Grrr!!

And no, she didn’t let me in. She kept me waiting for her, outside her room until she finished fitting on a dress and then just opens her door to ask for my opinion because she said and i quote 'you might crave for my body once you see it'. She doesn't want me to stay inside her room but it's taking her forever to fit one dress to another and I'm getting muscle cramps for standing out here for too long, Look how crazy my boss is!!

“It’s already 6:50 miss. You’re going to be late.” I said. I am slowly losing my patience with her.

“I know. And it’s your fault.” She said. Arghh!!

“Can’t you just wear the last one and do your make up?” I asked.

“Nope.”

I deeply sigh.

“you have 5minutes left miss. It’s not my fault you’re going to be late.” I said.

“It is your fault”

“And why is that?”

“I want to look perfect to you” She said.

“But you already are perfect miss. I don’t understand why you wanted to impress me. I am already impressed with just your messy bun earlier and those loose shirt with short shorts.” I said honestly. I saw her earlier change her outfit into those things that I’ve mentioned, just after she finished her work. She’s amazing. Simple yet beautiful.

“Really?” She asked.

“Yes. Really”

“Then messy bun, loose shirt and short shorts it is.” She said then closed her door, probably to change her clothes again.

What the! It’s not like It's me she going to have a date with, besides loose shirts and shorts is an informal thing to wear for a dinner date! It's be definitely not my fault if her boyfriend laughed at her or something. I only told her honestly that she’s beautiful in anyway. Aishhh!! I think I'll be doomed if her boyfriend laugh at her later.

“done.” She walks out from her room with a confident smile.

I just face palmed myself. She walk passed by me looking like she’s not going to a date. She looks like she’s about to go to sleep or she just wakes up, or more like she’s ready to laze around the house.

“Uhh… you won’t be mad at me if your boyfriend laughs at you, right?” I asked hesitantly.

Her forehead creased “Boyfriend?” She asks.

“Yes, your date remember?”

“Ahh, yeah! Right! My boyfriend. My date. Yeah… right.” She said smiling. It looks like she was forced to agree because she sounded confused and troubled, maybe it’s not just a boyfriend? could it be her fiance? Right!! How stupid of me. Why didn’t I think of that before? Aish!

“Uh.. madam, are you sure that's what you’re going to wear on your date?” Eulo, her butler asked. We just came here at her garage.

“Yeah. My date said that I am perfect with just this clothes on.” She said.

Hmm so that’s why she’s smiling from ear to ear the moment she comes out of her room. Her date must have texted her that it’ll looks perfect on her too. Wow, he’s such a sweetheart huh? I must thank him for pushing those clothes on. I guess I won’t be receiving any punishment later then. How sweet of him too, to find her girl beautiful with just simple clothes.

Moon entered the car.

“Goodluck on your date, madam.” I said outside the car.

“You’re coming with me.” She said.

“Huh?” I ask surprised. I didn’t wear anything nice. I am wearing my pajama on. Since it’s already night time and I am ready to rest for this tiring day while she is having her dinner date.

“what do you mean "huh"? I said you're coming with me”

“Uh, ok, I’ll just change my clothes first, wait.” I said as I am about to run to my room. Aish! Why is there so much running today?

“No need. You’re coming with me with that clothes on.”

“What? Are you crazy?”

“What? Do I look crazy to you”

AISHHH!!!! I thought I can finally have a rest after this tiring day and yet, here I am. AISHHH!!!!

“No madam.” I said as I entered her car. I am sitting beside her.

“No need to worry, we can buy some clothes on our way if you really feel uncomfortable with that.” She said.

“No need.” I said…

“Eulo, did you told the staff already?” Moon asked.

“That the whole restaurant are going to be closed so that you can have a private time, right miss?” Eulo asked.

“Yeah, good.”

Eulo is sitting beside the driver. The one who who drove for me earlier.

“Wait a minute, you’re the one who rented the whole restaurant for just the two of you?” I asked.

“Yes, do you have any problem with that?”

“But, he’s the guy. I mean, he should be the one doing that or puttin in the effort.”

“But that doesn’t mean a girl can’t do the same.”

Right, she has a point there.

We finally arrived at the restaurant.

“I’ll be waiting here with them, madam.” I said to Moon pointing at the driver and the butler at the front seat. I won’t mind waiting at the car, I might even sleep while waiting for them hihi. I would that after I see the face of the guy.

“Nah-uh. You're coming with me. Eulo, you can go home now, I’ll call you later if we're done, or if ever there is a need for transportation or protection” Moon said.

Protection? Oh my gosh! I was not trained of any martial arts for self defense, what if the guy abuses madam? How can I protect her? Is that the reason why she wanted me to come with her? But why is she telling Eulo to go home? We need them to protect us.

On the other hand, maybe madam wants to know the guy more so she needs me to get to know more of him too. Nice thinking, madam. That’s a girls thing.

“It’s 7:15 already madam, isn’t he coming?” I asked. We already entered the restaurant, madam asked me to sit on the other side of her chair, so we’re facing each other.

“I know.” She said.

“That guy is so insensitive. I mean, don’t ever go if he asks for another date with you ok? Don’t even think of giving him another chance. He shouldn’t even be late on your date. Tss” I said.

“I mean, I know it’s 7:15 already. And don’t worry, my date isn’t late. They just arrived the moment we got here.” She said.

“really? where is he?”

“Let’s wait a little more. Eat with me first. I’ll order another one if that person appear.” She offer,

So we order our meal, and an ice cream for dessert.

I took my time tasting my order after the waiter placed it in my table

“hmm” My eyes went big as I look at Moon with a thumbs up. This place sure serves an out of this world food, I mean, I might have exaggerated it a little, but wow. This restaurant is sure an exquisite one. These foods are delicious!!

“Do you like it?” moon asked.

“I super love it! It’s my first time tasting this, I mean for me the food that i find good for its price is samgyupsal, one order is a bit expensive yet delicious, but this? It surpasses that, It’s super delicious.”

“It’s cheaper one.” Moon said.

“What?” I asked.

“The one you order is the cheaper one. Much cheaper than the Samgyupsal at some Korean restaurant.”

“Really?” I asked surprised. “If that’s the case then can I comeback here again once I got my salary?” I won’t mind treating Lianne and my mom in this restaurant.

“Sure.” Moon said, smiling.

“YEHHEEYY!! I’ll bring Lianne and my mom.” I said.

“Lianne? Who is she?”

“My bestfriend. She’s the best” I said. Well, if she have time to listen to me, I’ll probably tell her my story with Lianne, how annoying yet fun it is to be with that girl.

“Really? Just your bestfriend?” she asked.

“of course. Why?”

“Nothing. Tell me more about her.”

“Next time, I’ll tell you more about her.” I said. I can’t miss this opportunity, I mean if the guy arrives, I won't be comfortable enough to enjoy this food though maybe, she’ll give me time to finish it but it would be embarrassing to let her date wait.. The only reason i could think as to why she’s treating me this food now is because her date is late.

“You can tell me more about her now, I won’t mind.” Moon said.

“But, what If your date arrives?” I asked.

“Don’t worry, I’ll give you a heads up.”

“I don’t want you to cut my story short.”

“I won’t”

“Hmm… maybe next time I promise. I owe you our story. I just want to enjoy the food right now.” I said.

“Okay.” She replied.

Moon and I continued to silently eat and enjoy our food.

As minutes passed by and her date still did not come.

“Is your date still gonna come?” I asked after I finished my food. I am so full.

“I don’t think so.” She said.

“wow, he just missed the opportunity to meet her beautiful date in a lovely restaurant.” I commented.

“Really?” She asked.

“Really what?”

“I am beautiful?”

“You’re always beautiful.”

I saw Moon smiled from ear to ear.

“You’re so cute when you smile. You should smile often” I suggests. It’s true that she’s cute when she smile.

“I know.”

“How conceited.”

“I hear that often.” She said

“Tss. okay”

“Are we going home now?” I asked again. Her date stood her up. I thought it only happens in movies, you know? those people who doesn't turn up for their date, but surprisingly it happened in real life too.

“Why?”

“you'll still wait for him?”

“No need. She’s here all along.” Moon said.

“Really? Where?” I look around and find no one but the waitress and the waiter.

“Is he the waiter guy?” I asked.

She laughed “No, silly.”

“Where is he? is he in the kitchen? the chef maybe?”

“It’s a she, idiot.” She said.

“Oww… so she’s the waitress? I guess that’s the reason why she keeps on looking at me like she wanted to kill me” I said.

“What?”

“oh, nothing.”

“What are you talking about? She’s not the waitress, stupid.”

“Then who? OH MY GOSH!! Don’t tell me you’re seeing a ghost?” I asked. “I don’t see anyone else in here except the two of us, and those restaurant staff” I continued.

“She’s a ghost, Luna.” Moon said in her serious tone.

“AHHH” I shriek as I ran and hide in her back. “Where is she? Is she near? Tell me where she is!”

“She’s behind me right now.”

“WAAAHHH” I went in front of Moon and hugged her. “Tell her to go. Pleasee. I'm scared of ghost.” I plead as I am hiding my face on Moon’s chest. Have I mentioned that Moon is a little taller than me? If I say a little taller well, I’m 5’2 she’s about 5’6 I think? Such a little difference, right?

Slowly, Moon wraps her arms around me. She’s hugging me back.

“Sorry Luna, but I don’t want her to go as much as I don’t want this hug to let go” Moon whispers in my ears.

I can hear her heartbeat. My boss sure is a sweet talker huh? Maybe it’s her way of comforting me. She has a nice side too i guess. A good heart that lies underneath her bad attitude or persona.

"I'm just kidding about the ghost though" moon said.

I slowly eased off on the hug after i calmed down.

“You’re such a nice talker huh?” I said quite pissed.

“What did I do?” Moon asks.

“Never mind. Do you want to dance?” I asked, forgetting the whole ghost prank thing.

“But there’s no music.”

“Who told you that we need music to dance?”

“How can we dance without music?” she asks.

“In here.” I said pointing at my chest where my heart resides. Well dancing just randomly comes in my mind. I mean it’s so quiet in here, no romantic music at all. That guy is such a jerk!

“Trust your heart and it’s beat will guide you to your step.” I said. I guided Moon on the much spacious part of the restaurant.

“Wait, what if my heart beats into a romantic music and yours into a pop or rock music?” Moon asks.

I laughed at what she said.

“You even think of the genre huh?” I said. “Just let your body dance to it as if your heart is guiding you. If your heart beats into a romantic one then dance with it.”

“I look like a fool dancing with it.”

“Then follow me.” I said. I guided her the step, at first she’s hesitating, then later she became attuned with the music playing inside my heart, and was able to follow every step.

“I wanna know, know, know, know, what is love?~” I sing then she follows the choreography.

Title: what is love by Twice. My heart just wants me to dance to that song. It likes she wants to know more about love.

“And this, and that” I said as we ended the question mark part of the dance.

“Is this what your heart really tells you to do huh?” Moon asks. As we sat on our chair.

“Yeah, it’s fun dancing to Twice's song.” I said.

“So, you’re a Twice fan? You love Kpop?” Moon asks.

“Hmm yeah, I love Twice, Itzy, and IU. My top 3 bias in kpop.” I said.

“Hmm so that’s why. I see.”

“yupsiee.”

“So, who’s your bias on those three groups you just mentioned?” Moon asks.

“Oh, IU is a solo performer, so she’s my bias, as is. While Twice and Itzy are in a group. In Twice my bias is Myoui Mina. In Itzy, it’s Ryujin.” I said.

“Oh, I see. You only have one bias in each group?” Moon asks.

“Yes.”

“How about the others? What do you like about the two that their other members doesn’t have?” Moon asks again.

“I am a little bit attracted to introvert girls and a little bit mysterious, I want to be like them in my next life. Mina has the quality of that person. While in Itzy, I like Ryujin since she’s a little boyish.” I said.

“So, you’re lowkey attractive to girls?”

“Nope. Just Mina, Ryujin and IU only.” I said.

“What if you’ll meet someone who possess the character of those three? I mean, if you met someone who is introvert like Mina or a boyish type like Ryujin? Will you find them attractive and is there a chance that you might fall for them?”

“The truth is, I really don’t see myself falling in love with a girl. As in. not in this lifetime or in any other lifetimes I’ll have.” I honestly said. I don’t understand, I thought I clarified to her already that I am not attracted to girls. I am attracted to guys.

“I see. So if you’re straight, who do you find the most attractive in the house? I mean the staffs in my house?” Moon asks.

“hmm” who would it be?? “Jason?” I said.

“What? A young man? Don’t tell me---”

“Oh, no. it’s not what you’re thinking. I mean if Jason is at the same age as me, I think I would be easily attractive to him. He’s such a young gentleman.” I said.

“I see. How about Arnold?” Moon asks.

“Who is Arnold?” I asked.

“The driver.”

Oh, right. He’s the driver. I forgot.

“Not much? I don’t find him attractive. Why did you ask”

“just a survey? I don’t want my staffs to fall in love with each other. I hate work romance.” Moon said then she sips her wine. Right, have I mentioned Moon ordered us a wine?

“Why? My mom tells me that most of the people who is married now, meet their husband or wife in their workplace.” I said. It’s true. But I am not hoping that I’ll met mine in this kind of work. I hope to meet him in an office setting.

“I see.”

“Haven’t you met yours yet?” I asked her.

“I met he--- I mean him. But I don’t think that person realized that it’s me, he---his destiny.” Moon replied.

“Why?”

“Because … I just feel it.”

“So complicated love story you have.” I said.

“Not really though. That person just makes it complicated”

“Don’t worry, just express your love to him and soon he’ll realize that he’s lucky to have you.” I said.

“Is she?”

“Huh? She?”

“I mean him, he. Is he?”

“Well… not that lucky. For what I experienced even in just a day of working with you, you’re a little moody, uhh and… well, I just hope he won’t lose his patience with you.” I said honestly.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, hehe… nevermind.”

“Do you want to be punished?”

“No madam.” I said then ran away from her. I was about to open the glass door when i heard her say..

“You have no where to go, Luna. Eulo left us, remember?”

“Ahhh. I’m doomed.”
