What am I supposed to do? If I go out, sir will be conscious. But if I say hello to him, he will immediately fire me. Nanny was silent without a word. His mind was completely filled with all the prejudices that made sweat pour out from his forehead.
"Nanny?"
The woman immediately gasped in shock so consciously at the voice she heard. Nanny turned her head and found Karl now staring at her.
Nanny quickly moved out of place. He walked up to Karl and stood right in front of him.
"S-good morning, sir.." - She said in a stammer. He bowed in respect.
End of my history.
"There's something I want to talk to you about. Can you come with me for a minute?"
"B-well, sir."
Karl stepped towards the entrance with Nanny trailing behind. Along the way, Nanny felt her heart pounding violently. How not? He really thought his job would end today.
Karl took Nanny to his study. There, he closes the door and immediately asks Nanny to sit down.
Glup!
Nanny swallowed her hard spit. He really feels tense right now.
How'this? If I get fired, what will happen?
What if Zelda loses her job because of me? I'd feel so guilty if I got fired and Zelda lost her job because of me.
I... What should I do if I'm really fired?
Nanny speaks a thousand languages. His heart really felt uncomfortable.
"Eh?" Nanny flinched with what she had just said. He spontaneously looked up, looking at Karl with a face of disbelief. "I'm sorry, but did I not mishear, sir?"
Nanny really couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"You didn't hear wrong. I'm asking you to be a nanny for my son. The real babysitter, not just as a substitute while Zelda's gone."
"But, sir..if I work as a young master's nanny, then what about—"
"Not to worry about Zelda. She'll still be my son's nanny. Everything hasn't changed, I just added one nanny."
"I don't understand. Why do you want to be the young master's nanny?"
"Why do you ask that? Don't you want to be my son's nanny?"
"It's not like that. I just don't understand. I have already made the young master wretched, even master was furious when he found out the young master was injured when he was with me. Shouldn't you fire me? Then why did master suddenly change his mind and want me to be the young master's nanny? Moreover, you want me to be the nanny of the young master with Zelda."
"I'm sorry for what happened that time. I'm too quick to conclude, because I'm afraid of losing the only valuable person in my life…"
"…And actually, it's not the first time." Karl muttered at the end of his sentence.
"Eh?" Nanny frowned. Karl's facial expression suddenly turned moody for no reason.
"In fact, this happened three years ago. Exactly when my son was three years old. Carver had an incident where a deadly dangerous poison was residing in his body, and every time someone triggered it, every time it also had an effect. He would have vomited blood like that, and it would take time for his body to recover."
Nanny was silent without a word.
