“Of course, I heard about them, your children are quite famous and who knows, if I end up being their nanny, I could be famous as well.” Mimi joked and though Reina didn’t laugh outright, there was still a trace of a smile on her face.

“That’s a given,” Reina said, nodding her head and looking a bit lost in thought. Was she making a decision already, Mimi wondered?

Reina was just about to say something when they were interrupted by another presence and they both looked up to discover that the other applicant just arrived.

“I’m sorry, I’m late, Mrs. Reina. I was just held up in traffic,” Winters gave an excuse, still trying to smoothen out her skirt.

“I understand and call me Reina,” She said, gesturing at her to take a seat opposite them.

Winters sat down without glancing Mimi’s way because according to plans, the both of them were not supposed to know each other so as not to create suspicion.

“Hi,” Mimi was the one to wave at her as if they were just seeing each other for the first time.

“Hi,” Winters reciprocated the greeting, breaking eye contact with her after that and focused on Reina. The plan was to make sure that they got the job together, but then, if it didn’t work out that way, whoever got the job had to be prepared.

.....

“I was just with Mimi before your arrival, she’s your fellow rival, and seeks the nanny position you want as well. I have been speaking with her so far and honestly, I like her already, but then, I’m all for equality, which means that you have to give me a good reason I should hire you. So tell me Winters, why do you want this nanny job?” Reina asked her honestly, her head tilted to the side and scrutinizing her.

For some strange reason, Winters gave her Isabella’s vibe and Reina couldn’t decide if that was a good thing or a bad one. Her daughter Isabella was honestly not that good with children, but at the same time, she protected the ones she loved fiercely. Hence like both sides of a coin, Reina didn’t know which side to trust and the side Winters plans to show her children.

“Honestly, I’m here for the money.” Winters sincerely confessed. She knew Reina did a background check on her considering she was the one that forged the information on the internet and fed it to the amateur investigator that took it without cross-checking. Moreover, she looked into Reina and the woman appreciated honesty above anything.

She went on, “I’m not going to lie and claim that I’m good with children, no, those little things annoy the heck out of me, however, I’ll try and be a good sister to them and give you your money’s worth.”

There was silence for a while until Reina’s lips curved to the side in a smile.

“That’s a good one and now both of you are giving me a hard time choosing,” Reina said, readjusting in her seat, “And that is why I’m not going to choose.”

Although Reina didn’t exactly give her final judgment, Mimi and Winters secretly exchanged looks, having sensed her answer and their hope rose. This is it, their plan was working.

“I’m hiring the both of you,” Reina finally made a decision. While Winters had an intimidating aura, Mimi was carefree and the both could balance each other. Her kids retaliated when they’re treated sternly, but then they couldn’t be indulged too much as well.

“Oh my God, thank you!” Mimi kept up with her acting, looking very happy as she celebrated getting the job.

Even the austere Winters had to crack a smile so Reina doesn’t question her eligibility for the job. Sure, Winters didn’t need the job since she was wealthy, but this was a mission and she just told Reina that she needed the money, hinting at her poor background. So what do the poor do when they get a once in a lifetime opportunity? They rejoice.

“I should have drafted a contract already, however, you know the deal with my kids, so here’s the deal. If you survive today and wish to continue with the job, I have no problem with that since I need a long time nanny anyway. But don’t worry, your payment remains the same even if you quit today, ” It’s a compensation fee for whatever you’ll go through in my children’s hands, Reina didn’t add that one.

“I should call over the kids and give you a tour of the house,” Reina was still saying when her phone rang and whatever conversation she had with whoever was on the line afterwards suggested that she had to leave and Mimi and Winters couldn’t be happier.

The earlier Reina left, the more time and opportunity they had to search the house and find out where Chloe was hiding – that is, if she’s indeed residing in this house. The universe must be on their side because if Reina doesn’t give them a tour of the house, that means that even if they were caught stepping into rooms they were prohibited from, they could blame it on their first time here.

Unlike Marcel’s place crawling with his soldiers, Niklaus’ place was more relaxed, however, there were cameras at certain corners meaning they still had to act with caution.

“I’m so sorry,” Reina said to them the instant she was done with her call, “But I have to leave immediately and I would not be able to introduce you to the children, however, the staff would help you with that. You just have to remember one thing, never trust the ribbon on the girl’s hair,” She told them in a haste picking up her purse and already heading in the direction of the door.

Before Mimi and Winters knew what was going on, Reina already left them to deal with the kids and they sat down in the living room with no clue what to do.

“What now?” Winters asked Mimi who merely shrugged. Had she known, she would have taken a crash course on how to nanny because now, she felt like a fish out of water.
