I rather like Maja and I have no idea how she can deal with a man like that. I’m currently nursing the biggest wound of rejection and disappointment imaginable after being dismissed by King Asshole but that doesn’t mean I can’t be concerned about her. Maja hangs up the phone and presses her lips together, staring at the blank screen in her hands. I just hope they don’t start making all my hiring decisions from here on out. “Is she going to be our new nanny?”Īnything to keep them happy like this, I remind myself. “Is she coming?” Freja asks with big eyes. “But, sir, why? You said…” I can tell that Maja is probably eyeing the Aussie right now, trying to keep her from listening. “Tell the driver to turn the car around and bring her back.” “I’m with Miss Aurora, on the way to the airport,” she answers rather tersely.
Giving them everything they want is the very least I can do.Īnd I know it will never, ever be enough.Įxhaling heavily, I pick up my phone and call Maja. I’m the reason they need a nanny to begin with, the reason they don’t have a mother anymore. Were they really that upset to begin with? Or was this just another example of getting their way? That “mama” card seemed to come out of left field. “Yay!” they both cry out, jumping up and down and clapping their hands together excitedly. When I open my eyes again, both girls are looking at me expectantly. She may not even want the job after the way I treated her. I can’t believe I’m going to have to do this. Imagine a king being ruled by his princesses.
I’m not sure I have a choice in this matter. Inherited her mother’s cleverness as well. She has her mother’s features, that’s for sure, green eyes, golden hair, olive skin. Don’t you think we’ve been through enough?” “Father,” Clara says, “don’t make Freja cry. “That’s what you always say and I hate them all.” Don’t worry though, we’ll find someone.”įreja bursts into tears again. We’re so … special, you understand? We need someone just as special to take care of my princesses. I really do think she’s better for someone else. This is not working out the way I wanted. But we really, really like her and we want her to be our nanny. “She reminded you of your mother?”Ĭlara shrugs. I can feel my face pale in front of them. “She told us she wanted to be our nanny and we want her to be our nanny and then Auntie Maja said she had to go.”Īnother hit to my heart, this time deeper, with a jagged instrument. “No,” Freja eventually mumbles, snot blowing out of her nose, her face all red.
“She just didn’t seem like she was right for us. She’s the first pretty, kind, and smart lady you’ve brought here and we don’t want her to go.”
