Meanwhile Jonah and turner enter the office in the top floor
Jonah sits on the chair and starts looking at the bunch of files
Turner follows him and stands beside his table
Mr. turner(secretary)
You know.. the interview for my replacement as your secretary is tomorrow..
Jonah
(Without making eye contact) hmm so??
Mr. turner(secretary)
Betty recommended a friend of her for the job
Jonah
You know just because she is your fiance we don't have to hire her friends (serious)
Mr. turner(secretary)
Aiyah!!!.. She is not only Betty's friend also she graduated from a prestigious university
Mr. turner(secretary)
She also got a PhD in literature
Mr. turner(secretary)
And she has a diploma in business management
Mr. turner(secretary)
If not for her financial situation she wouldn't be interested in this secretary post at all..
Jonah
(throws the file in his hand on the table) What about her financial position? (looks interested)
Mr. turner(secretary)
Her father was a big industrialist... Due to some failures he has gone bankcrupt... then he committed suicide.. the only property left for her is the Baily's mansion..
Mr. turner(secretary)
But her late father sold the mansion to someone.. In order to get that mansion back she's trying her best to earn money..
Mr. turner(secretary)
She can do anything to earn money if it's not illegal
Jonah
Why so? Whats special about that house?
Mr. turner(secretary)
It's the house with her mother's memories.. Although her father was a loser.. He loved his wife dearly and they built the mansion as a token of their love..
Mr. turner(secretary)
That's all I know
Jonah
As long as she's capable you can hire her.. However it's a temporary job anyway
Mr. turner(secretary)
Temporary or permanent we pay great
Mr. turner(secretary)
Who knows maybe she can earn other position after my return🙂
Jonah
Yeah yeah we will see
Mr. turner(secretary)
Ugh.. Fine
Turner's about to leave but suddenly stops and looks at jonah
Mr. turner(secretary)
By the way... I heard she is very beautiful.. With her looks she can seduce any man..
Mr. turner(secretary)
Nothing... Nothing... Just she is like a model so don't hesitate to make a move 😉😉
Jonah
Do you want leave the job permanently??? (scary)
Mr. turner(secretary)
Aiyah.. I was just kidding... Sorry... I'll take my leave
While looking at his laptop.. Jonah suddenly falls into a deep thought...
Jonah
(inside his mind) hmm.. Model my a*s
As the evening falls.. Jonah leaves the company..
Although he is a very busy man he makes sure to pick and drop his baby girl from school
At the school gate.. Avery is waiting for his daddy

Ms. Daliah

Ms. Daliah

Jonah
We are going to sign a new contract with a foreign company.
Jonah
I will be busy these days..
Jonah
Although you take good care of avery, you can't manage the house and play a babysitter..
Jonah
So I'm thinking of hiring a babysitter
Ms. Daliah
I don't think it's a burden for me janah..i took care of you from childhood and managed this mansion on my own
Ms. Daliah
But you might be right.. I'm old and can't be as enthusiastic as your princess
Ms. Daliah
Do you want me to look for a babysitter or do you have someone in mind?
Jonah
I'll leave this in your hands aunt!! hire someone who you find the best
Ms. Daliah
Okay dear.. I'll start looking for one
Someone rushed into the living room from the garden

Jonah, daliah and Carson rush to garden
In the garden Avery is crying.. And her hair is spoiled with chewing gum
Jonah

Jonah

Carson (gardener)

Ms. Daliah

Ms. Daliah
