Chapter 144 - 141

Elisio, Sabrina, Ermanno, Rose, Bruce and his wife Alena. All were standing in front of the now automatic steel door which only opens with code. The code which only Ermanno knew. And what door where they standing in front of?

Yes. The bas.e.m.e.nt door.

It took two days to install this door but was done now and fully functional.

Rose and Elisio were not happy with this.

"What's the code ?" Asked Elisio.

Rose looked at Ermanno too to know the code.

Ermanno smiled at Rose and said "I am not giving the code to anyone. Atleast not till I am living here with my children"

"Then go live somewhere else" said Elisio.

"We have hundreds of properties around the world and you chose to put me up here, explain why?" Said Ermanno.

Rose looked at Elisio looking at her and Rose said "oh my god. You were trying to provoke me to do something stupid. what did you expect? I would use this place or knife to harm someone? Harm my children or Ermanno? God you are a horrible person"

"You were risking your family's life with a phycho who may have used those knives?" Asked Bruce.

"Hey" said Rose.

"Can we act like a.d.u.l.ts?" Said Alena and continued "let's go to the main house. Now that this case is closed" and laughed with Ermanno.

Bruce and Sabrina joined them and Bruce said "good one love"

Elisio and Rose were not happy.

All of them sat in the big garden behind the house and Sabrina said "oh Rose, before I forget. Rebecca won't be coming for few months. She is finally pregnant with her first child. So I have arranged for few nannies to come for the interview. You can select one for Emerald"

"Who is Rebecca?" Asked Elisio seated beside Sabrina with his hand on her knee.

"One of Xavi's nanny. Elisio, she has been with us for 5 years" said Sabrina.

"Fiore, I don't know either of their names. I just point at them and say 'you'" said Elisio.

"You are such a arrogant ass" said Bruce.

Rose looked at Elisio and he didn't say anything to Bruce. She looked at Bruce and said "wow. You can say that to him and get away with that?"

"We have known eachother all our lives. I can call him anything and get away with it" said Bruce.

"Then call him.." said Rose and whispered something in Bruce's ear.

"I am not going to call him that. I get away with calling him few things  cause I don't call him that" said Bruce.

"Oh come on. What would you lose?" Whined Rose.

"My life. You have seen his collection. And seriously, what's wrong with you?" Asked Bruce.

"I am fine and have a certificate to prove it" said Rose smiling at Bruce.

"Wow. You have a smile of a phycho" said Bruce.

"Aww... Thank you" said Rose.

Ermanno laughed at Rose and said "stop scaring him Rose"

All were still talking and laughing when everyone heard Xavier and Emerald come home from school.

"Papa, Mama" screamed Xavi and ran to Elisio and Sabrina.

Emerald walked to everyone and waved "hi"

"You are so cute. Just like my Ruby was when she was a baby" said Bruce and pinched Emerald cheek.

"Come to me Emerald" said Sabrina and pulled her towards her and kissed her cheek.

All talked to the kids when one of the maids informed them that a lady was here to interview for the nanny's job.

Rose told the maid to bring her out in the garden.

Lola walked to the garden and saw few people seated in the garden and recognised them all.

She smiled and said "good afternoon everyone. My name is Lola Adams. I am 28 years old and I have a degree in child psychology. The have been working as a nanny for few years and I have had only one child till now who I took care for 5 years. Here is my recommendation letter"

Rose took the recommendation letter and Ermanno took her file.

Rose asked her few more questions and told her she will get back to her.

Lola nodded and thanked everyone and looked at Ermanno and smiled a sweet smile and left.

Ermanno raised his eyebrows and looked at Elisio smirking at him.

Ermanno blushed and rubbed the back of his neck and looked away.

"I don't like her. She is too professional. What do you think Emerald. She will be your nanny, do you like her?" Asked Bruce looking at Emerald who was seated in Sabrina's lap eating a bowl of fruits.

"I don't know" said Emerald.

"That's her answer for everything. She is not that smart" said Xavier seated on Elisio's lap and eating his bowl of fruits.

"What do you think mummy?" asked Rose to Sabrina.

"I don't know" said Sabrina and everyone sat in silence for few seconds and laughed out loud.

Sabrina and Emerald looked at eachother and Emerald whispered to Sabrina "why are they laughing?"

"I don't know" whispered Sabrina back.

"Kyle says, if you don't understand anything you should just nod" said Emerald and Sabrina and Emerald nodded together.

Sabrina smiled at Emerald and kissed her cheek.

"Do you like her more mummy?" Asked Xavier to Sabrina.

"Your mama's heart is too big to love everyone unlike your papa" said Bruce and continued "and do you know who he loves the most in this world?"

Everyone were expecting Sabrina's name but Bruce said "me"

"You know we are friends cause I can't get rid of you right?" Said Elisio.

"I know and also cause you love me more than Sabrina" said Bruce.

Elisio looked Alena and said "he may be gay for me"

"I know" said Alena and shipped on her tea.

"No I am not" said Bruce.

"I know what gay is" said Emerald.

Everyone waited for an answer but Emerald didn't answer and continued eating.

"Hello, genius. Tell us what gay is" said Xavier and looked at Elisio and said "told you she is dumb"

"Stop calling her that" said Ermanno.

"Oh, I will tell you what gay is. Kyle told me that gay means two people loving eachother too much" said Emerald.

"That means papa is gay. He loves mama too much" said Xavier and Elisio said "I am too straight to be gay. But yes, I love my fiore"

Sabrina smiled at Elisio and he kissed her cheek.

They were still talking and teasing when a maid announced another girl coming in for the nanny's job.

"I liked Lola. She looked like someone who would be good at her job" said Rose.

"Well, let's meet this girl and see what she has to offer" said Ermanno.

A girl wearing ripped jeans and T-shirt walks in and widely smiles and says "hi. I am strawberry"

No one knew how to react to her name and suddenly Xavier laughs out loud and says "she is a fruit" to which Emerald says "no, she is a girl. And this is a strawberry" and shows a strawberry from her fruit bowl.

"That is true. That's a strawberry and my name is strawberry too. You see my dad met my mom in the strawberry farm so they named me that" said strawberry.

"Thank god they didn't meet on tinder" said Bruce and laughed out loud and Rose joined him.

"It's a lovely name sweetheart" said Sabrina.

"So, I see you don't have any experience and you are only 21." Said Ermanno looking at her portfolio.

"I am sorry but we have chosen someone else" said Rose and Ermanno nodded agreeing to Rose and accepting Lola as the nanny.

"Oh god no please hire me. I have five brothers and two sisters to look after and my father died and mother works in the diner. Give me any job I'll do it. Please, you guys pay awesome. Please. Please sir" said strawberry and looked at Elisio.

Elisio looked at Ermanno and said "keep her as a maid. How bad can it be. If she is not cleaning the house she can also play with the kids."

"Yes. I love playing games like from video games to braiding dolls hairs." Said strawberry and Xavier and Emerald cheered for strawberry.

Everyone laughed at her energy and excitement and Ermanno agreed to hire her as a maid.

Strawberry screamed and thanked everyone and said "I have a real job. This is so cool"

"You can start from tomorrow. You will be staying here behind the house in the quarters." Said Ermanno and strawberry nodded and thanked them and started to leave and smiled and waved at Elisio.

Elisio raised his eyebrows and saw Ermanno smirking at him now.

Elisio struggled his shoulders as he was used to female attention.

After a long day Elisio, Sabrina, Bruce and Alena decided to leave after lunch.

Bruce and Sabrina were talking to Ermanno and Rose when Alena approaches Elisio and says "she is in. She is very professional. Don't worry. She will keep an eye on everything"

"Hope she is as good as you said she is and no one comes to know about her true identity that she is a trained undercover agent." said Elisio and smirked at Alena.

"No one will have a clue and I'll background check on the other girl too just to be safe" said Alena.

"You are the best in this work. No wonder Joshua still relies on your suggestions" said Elisio.

"You only select the best to be around you, don't you?" Said Alena.

"Only the best" said Elisio and smiled at Sabrina.
