His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 165: Overexcited

Moana

After I handed the headmistress of Ella’s new school my resume, I went home with a big smile on my face.

Even if I didn’t wind up getting the job due to my lack of teaching experience, this was still a step in the right direction. After spending years being unable to get decent jobs due to my low status as a human, it seemed as though potential employers might start actually taking me seriously. I knew that most of it had to do with the fact that I was now publicly Edrick’s “fiancee”, but I didn’t care. To me, it was still a win.

As the day went on, however, I went from excited to downright nervous. Every time I started to think about it, knowing that the headmistress may have been talking to Sophia for my reference at any moment, I felt my heart start to race. I tried to stay calm, but this combination of excitement and nervousness made it incredibly difficult to focus on anything else that day.

By the evening, I still hadn’t heard back. I didn’t expect to hear back for at least another day, but it still made me feel even more worried. What if the headmistress simply never responded to my application? It was a terribly common practice for employers to never respond to applications, and despite the fact that Ella would be a student at that school in just a few weeks, I supposed that I wasn’t immune to that. I just hoped that wouldn’t be the case.

Eventually, Edrick came home from work. I was sitting on the sofa in the living room and trying to read when I heard the whir of the elevator doors opening.

“Daddy!” Ella yelled, jumping up and running over to him excitedly. I heard the sound of her kissing him on the cheek, followed by Edrick’s voice as he asked her how her day was. Ella seemed to be whispering something to him, and a few moments later, the Alpha billionaire walked into the living room with Ella in his arms.

“Ella told me that you’re waiting for something special news,” Edrick said to me, raising an eyebrow. “What is it?”

I got the job, but I should have known that Ella would spill the news as soon as possible. She was only eight, after
