Lulu gently rocked Star after placing her in her cradle.There was serenity in the nursery, and Lulu wished time could stop just then.-In contrast to that serenity, the air around Zachary was ice cold.He and Vivian were in his study. The room only had one bookshelf, while a desk was placed in the center."You didn't come just to bring me food, did you?" he asked.She might be his assistant, but she had no reason to meddle with his personal time. He could also see that she was constantly probing Wendy Jones, using the many baby products she brought as an excuse to visit.However, he did not want to expose her in front of Wendy either.As Vivian stood opposite him and saw the coolness in his eyes, she was suddenly panicking, unsure as to how she aroused Zachary's suspicion. Things were just fine during dinner, but he suspected her now?!"Mr. Slate," she said earnestly, inadvertently keeping her head down to hide the savagery in her eyes from him. "I was just worried—you did

It was too late for Zachary to leave by the time he noticed the movement in the nursery, and Lulu promptly caught him outside. "Are you drinking, Mr. Slate?" she asked when she spotted him.Caught in the act, Zachary realized that he was holding a beer when he frantically looked for something from his fridge."Oh, I was looking for milk… The beer was getting in the way," he said, quickly putting the beer away.When he looked up again, Lulu was gone, but before he could wonder, he picked up the scent of milk."Here, Mr. Slate," she said, bypassing him to reach the milk.She must have moved it when she rearranged the fridge, and it was not surprising he did not find it immediately.He took it and suddenly asked, "Do you want some, Ms. Jones?"It was still cold, and she liked cool drinks, especially chilled milk.Now, however, she was averse to cold food because of her health.Things changed.She inadvertently looked up at Zachary's eyes and found the probing look in his eyes.

Zachary waved her off. "It's fine—it's not a small house, and you can't take care of Star while cleaning up.""Yes, Mr. Slate," Lulu replied. "I was just helping Star wean today."Lulu then showed him the soup, eggs, and vegetable juice she prepared. "It's time for her to move on to solid food, and it takes getting used to."Zachary nodded after tasting everything. Though he did not do his homework on this, he trusted Lulu."I'm not worried about your work, but don't you think it'd get boring?" Zachary asked, concerned about nutrition.Lulu nodded—she had already thought about it. "We're just starting to wean her, so we should introduce her to one type of food before starting another. That would make it easier to check the type of food she is used to, or if there are any allergies."Zachary felt he had to reevaluate her just then. She had studied extensively and knew almost everything."You really are attentive," he said. "Just give me a shout if there's any issue."Lulu then s

Vivian frowned in disgust at Lulu. She was Zachary's assistant, while a mere babysitter spoke to her in this manner?Still, seeing that the baby was really crying, Vivian kept her voice down.As for Star, she might have been startled, but Lulu's coaxing calmed her considerably. She stopped crying in Lulu's arms, her little eyes still damp with tears.Lulu affectionately wiped her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief before finally turning toward Vivian. "Don't you know how to knock? Or do assistants not know basic manners?"Lulu thought Vivian would at least show composure as a person who followed Zachary around, and Lulu was left questioning how Vivian got hired in the first place given her behavior just now."You… I'm sorry. I'll be more careful next time."Vivian was ready to hit Lulu even as she lectured her but decided that she could not afford to leave a bad impression on Zachary.Though she appeared to yield, she still felt contempt toward Lulu nonetheless. Lulu pursed he

Putting everything into a diaper bag, Lulu carried Star over to Vivian, whose legs grew sore from waiting.She thought Lulu would work fast, but she was dragging her feet!Vivian could not help doubting Lulu's competence just then."Let's go," she said, ready to leave when Lulu stopped her."Hold on. You take this," Lulu gestured at the stroller, since she had to carry Star and the diaper bag.Vivian had no choice but to stay behind Lulu as she wheeled the stroller along, her eyes filled with contempt as she glared at Lulu.Shaking her hair off her shoulders, she muttered under her breath, "I'll let you have this. I'll make you pay soon enough!"She was standing there in stilettos, and the babysitter had to make her wait for so long!Meanwhile, Lulu got into the backseat as soon as she got in. After Vivian put the stroller in the backseat and found Lulu sitting where she sat, she clenched her knuckles and muttered under her breath, "Fine, you win this time!"To think a mere

A woman was thrashing a scrawny girl who appeared to be a Monsoon contractor and afraid to fight back."It's all your fault! I'm suing Monsoon! Oh, my poor baby… Someone call an ambulance!" It happened out of the blue, and the other Monsoon employees could barely understand what was happening.Still, it hurt Lulu to see the baby vomiting constantly, and she walked toward them without knowing."Hey! Where are you going?!" Vivian snapped, finally noticing that Lulu was not following her and instead going toward the commotion!This was not the time for that, just as Vivian immediately got the feeling that Lulu was a bumpkin who would gossip whenever she could. However, she had no idea that clients here were either rich or important and that she could not afford to provoke any of them!Lulu, however, remained deaf to Vivian's calls and pushed Star along as she reached the gathered crowd. "Excuse me, could you please let me through?" she asked, urgently wanting to see what was wro

The woman was left watching frantically—fortunately, Lulu had just struck her child a third time when the baby spat out a clump of whiteness.Everyone around gasped, with Vivian herself gaping in shock.To think that Wendy was that formidable she could save a child with relative ease…Nonetheless, as everyone turned toward the object the child spat out, they were suddenly looking at the woman differently."Huh. It's bread… And it's not melting.""There's no bread offered here in Monsoon. Obviously it wasn't the maid's fault."The maid turned toward Lulu gratefully—she would not be allowed to stay if Lulu did not help and prove her innocence.At the same time, the woman picked up her child, crying happy tears just then."Oh, thank goodness my baby's fine! Thank you so much! I'm sorry I blamed the wrong person."She had realized her mistake, since she was the one who had fed her own child that bread. Her child had been stretching her little hands out for her bread, and she did

It was only then that Lulu had the time to study the tanned, scrawny maid.She noticed Lulu staring at her and lowered her head further.She certainly stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the other recommended maids. But just as Lulu was about to ask for her name, Vivian called out from the other side, "I think I've made up my mind. Don't you agree, Wendy?"Lulu looked up to find Vivian standing with one of the other maids, whose cheek was covered in thick makeup and wore lipstick that completely did not match.While, in her defense, she did put on makeup before coming, her overbearing attitude was clear and Lulu already had a bad impression of her. Moreover, Lulu would not allow a woman wearing thick makeup around when there was a baby in the house."No. Let's keep looking." She refused without hesitation.Vivian, however, felt as if her authority had been challenged and was not about to give in to a mere babysitter. Then, seeing Lulu had been hovering in front of that scrawny
