His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 19

Chapter 19: The Alpha’s Mistress
Moana

I decided not to go to Edrick’s room that night. I couldn’t bring myself to do it in good conscience after discovering that he had a girlfriend, and I wasn’t about to be his mistress on top of being his daughter’s nanny!

At the usual time that I normally would’ve been sneaking over to Edrick’s room, I instead crawled into my own bed with my sketchbook for the first time in days. It felt a bit strange already to be sleeping alone, but it was also a relief from all of the stress of our strange agreement, and it was nice to have the late night to myself to have some time to draw.

Like clockwork, however, my phone started to ring just five minutes after I picked up my pencil. I lifted my eyes from my sketchbook, letting out a deep sigh when I was Edrick’s name on my screen.

“Yes?” I said after picking up the phone.

“Where are you?” Edrick said. His voice sounded agitated.

“I’ve decided to unilaterally end our sleeping arrangement,” I replied. “You can reduce my salary back to the original amount. I’m sorry, but I’m no longer comfortable sleeping together.”

Edrick was silent. I could hear him take in a sharp breath on the other side of the phone before he abruptly hung up. Rolling my eyes, I shut my phone off and tossed it down on my bed, returning to my drawing.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on my door; no doubt it was Edrick. I decided not to answer and to just pretend that I was asleep, which seemed to work as he didn’t knock again…

Or so I thought.
