Trapped in Love
Chapter 439 Donât Reject Caroline was getting ready to make dinner for the kids when a young woman stepped out of the kitchen. She had a high ponytail and appeared to be around 20 years old. Her eyes lit up upon. seeing Caroline. She flashed a smile, revealing her charming teeth, and said, âHello, Ms. Shenton! Iâm Eira Snow, the nanny Mr. Xander hired Neil came over from the living room as soon as Eira finished speaking. âYouâre back, Carol.â
Caroline was puzzled. âNeilâ¦â
Neil chuckled and explained. âI hired a nanny to help you out, Carol. Eira is highly skilled, not just in cooking but also certified in various areas.â
âCertified? In what?â Caroline was amazed.
Neil nodded toward Eira, who went to the foyer and retrieved a card pouch from her backpack. She respectfully handed it to Caroline. âPlease take a look, Ms. Shenton.â
Caroline took the pouch in astonishment and found multiple certification cards inside. Eira was multilingual, a certified teacher, proficient in cooking and nutrition, skilled in martial arts, and more. To Carolineâs surprise, she was even certified in plumbing.
Caroline looked at Neil and asked, âWhere did you find this woman, Neil?â
Neil replied, âSheâs actually an employee of my company, and she applied for the nanny position when she heard about it.â
âUncle Neil, your company must have many talented employees. Are you good with computers?â
Tyler asked.
Eiraâs eyes sparkled. âAbsolutely!*
Tylerâs interest was piqued. âCan we play a game on the computer after dinner?â
âTyler, you havenât finished your homework, and Mommy is still here!â Liora said, hands on her hips.
Eira giggled and offered, âI can help you with your homework!â
Caroline redirected the conversation, asking. âHow much is my brother paying you, Eira?â
Eira held up a finger, â1,000 dollars.â
Caroline was shocked. âNeil, youâre paying her so little when sheâs so capable?â
âNo, Ms. Shenton! I requested that amount myself. I donât need money because I earn income from these certifications,â explained Eira Liora was curious. âDo you make a lot of money, miss?â
Eira shyly scratched her head. âItâs not that much, just a few thousand dollars.â
Liora was astonished. âCan you make that much money without doing much?â
Caroline gently caressed Lioraâs head. âThe journey to achieve this wasnât easy.â
âI want to be like you! I really like her, Mommy. Can we keep her, please?â Liora held Carolineâs hand.
âOf course. Eira, Iâll add another thousand dollars to your salary as a small token of appreciation.â
Eira nodded. âIn that case, you can leave tutoring the kids to me. Iâll start cooking now!â
Caroline nodded and joined Neil in the dining room after Eira returned to the kitchen. They sat down, and Caroline looked at Neil, asking, âTell me, does Eira have feelings for you?â
Neil was taken aback. âWhat are you talking about?â
Caroline teased, âWhy would such an exceptional girl willingly work as my nanny if there isnât something more?â
âSheâs probably just here for the experience. Iâm not looking for a girlfriend,â Neil replied, picking up an orange from the table.
Caroline smiled, thinking, âWell, what can I say if he has already made up his mind?â
âOh, by the way, youâll be at the Xanders on Christmas Eve, right?â Caroline asked.
He handed her a peeled orange. âYes, I will be. Why do you ask?â
Caroline took a bite of the orange and said, âWhat do you think about me revealing Daniellaâs identity on Christmas Eve?â
