Gloria left Blake’s office with Helena, who couldn't hide her happiness at getting the job.
"Hey, young lady, you'll have to explain to me what happened in there later. The more discreet we are, the better. Come with me."
Gloria gave Helena a tour of the house, showing her every room, leaving her in awe.
There were a total of seven bedrooms, one storage room, three servant rooms, one guest room, Mr. Blake's suite, and the children's room.
Before introducing her to the children, Gloria took Helena to her room and handed her a package from the wardrobe containing a uniform.
Minutes passed, and Helena emerged from the bathroom dressed in the uniform.
"So, how do I look?"
"Perfect."
"Ready?"
"Yes."
"Then let's go."
Blake was sitting in the living room with Mia when the doorbell rang.
John opened the door, and in came his mother, his brother, his sister-in-law, and two of his mother's friends. They were all led to the living room.
"Dear Blake..."
His mother immediately went up to him and hugged him.
Slowly, everyone settled down until finally Gloria entered the room with Helena, who seemed a bit shy in front of the others.
Mia's gaze fell on Helena and she was surprised by the slight resemblance between her and Julliane. Jeremy discreetly smiled because of his wife who was by his side.
Blake swallowed hard when he saw Helena wearing that uniform that accentuated her curves, making her even more sensual than she already was.
"Gloria, where are the kids? Blake's mother asked."
"I'll get them now... Helena, please wait here."
"Yes, ma'am."
Gloria left her there in front of the wealthy family surrounding her. Everyone looked at her with curiosity until Mia had the audacity to break the silence.
"Hmm... so you're the new nanny for Blake's kids..."
"Yes, ma'am..."
"You can call me Mia... how old are you?"
"27."
"So young to take such risks..." Jeremy said.
"Forgive me, but I don't see taking care of children as a risk because to me, they are angels sent by God."
"You say that because you haven't met his yet... Jeremy added."
Blake, who was sitting, got up and walked towards the window. He was silent and seemed pensive. In truth, he was anxious, fearing Nicolas's actions as always.
Nicolas's door was closed, indicating that he didn't want to be disturbed.
Gloria knocked on the door three times and he finally asked her to come in. That was the code they had created between them.
"Come in..."
Gloria entered and closed the door. Nicolas was playing video games.
"Nicolas, aren't you ready yet?"
"Ready for what, Gloria?"
"Everyone is downstairs..."
"What do you mean?"
"Did you forget that I told you yesterday that the new nanny would come today?"
"Oh, is that it? Yes... so what?"
"She's downstairs, and your father asked me to bring you and your sister to the dining room."
Nicolas rolled his eyes.
"Nicolas, please... give me your word that you won't do anything this time."
"Gloria, you know I don't need any of this."
"I promise you'll like her."
After taking a deep breath, he finally decided to go downstairs with Gloria, who was carrying little Elisa in her arms.
Blake looked directly at the staircase when he saw Gloria coming down with Nicolas following behind.
As soon as they reached the living room, Nicolas immediately ran into his grandmother's arms.
"Hello, sweetheart..."
"Grandma, I missed you..."
"Hey, big guy!"
"Hi, uncle Jeremy... aunt Mia..."
Blake approached Nicolas and, looking into his eyes, said...
"Nicolas, I want you to meet Miss Helena... Miss Helena, this is Nicolas."
Nicolas looked up at the woman in front of him and saw her more as an older sister rather than a nanny. That was a somewhat positive sign...
Helena crouched down to his level and said...
"Hi Nicolas, how are you?"
Nicolas looked into her eyes and replied...
"Are you the one who will be forced to take care of me?"
"And who said I'm being forced, huh?"
"The money my father is going to give you to do this..." he replied...
Blake approached him and ordered him to apologize to her...
"apologize to her now..."
Giving his best defiant look, he replied...
"you apologize for making the poor girl waste her time, Blake..."
Everyone there seemed shocked to see the dialogue Nicolas and Blake were having. His grandmother approached him and said...
"dear, don't look at it that way, your father brought this nice girl here to pay attention to you because he works a lot and can hardly give you the attention he should..."
Nicolas turned to all of them and said angrily...
"no, grandma... if my father, instead of when he has free time, gave me attention, I wouldn't need any of this, but in his damn work schedule, he likes to eat piranhas..."
Mia covered her mouth in astonishment... Helena widened her eyes.
Blake jumped out of his chair and lunged at the boy, but when he got close to Nicolas, he didn't expect Helena to step in front of him and stop him...
"oh kid, I'm going to teach you some respect..."
Blake fiercely charged towards Nicolas, but Helena shielded the boy and stopped him.
"nooo..."
"get out of my way... he shouted..."
"you won't touch him, Mr. Blake... Helena exclaimed..."
Because they were so close to each other, she could see his strong chest expanding beneath his shirt with each breath...
"get out of my way, Miss Helena..."
Gloria approached both of them in an attempt to calm things down.
"Mr. Blake, please calm down..."
Nicolas remained impassive behind Helena, who just turned her head towards him and said...
"Nicolas, please go to your room..."
To shock everyone there, especially Blake, the boy promptly obeyed and silently went up to his room.
Blake distanced himself from Helena and walked fiercely towards his office, but before that, he ordered Helena to accompany him.
"to the office now, Miss Helena..."
Mia seemed shocked... Her mother was concerned witnessing what had just happened...
"my god, Gloria, when did they start treating each other like this?"
"Ah, Mrs. Shelton, to be honest, it's been a long time already... Your son has been very stressed lately, and I believe he uses Nicolas as a stress relief valve..."
"Gloria, isn't Blake going to therapy anymore?"
"Well, it's been a while since I've heard him mention anything about it..."
Jeremy, who had been watching silently until then, asked one question that left everyone embarrassed...
"Gloria, what did Nicolas mean when he mentioned that Blake likes to eat piranhas in his free time?"
Gloria widened her eyes, but she couldn't say anything about the fateful dinner two nights ago...
"love, is this something we should be talking about? Anyway, let's let the emotions calm down..."
"for now, it's the best we can do... agreed the matriarch of the family..."
