Nanny and the Alpha Daddy
#Chapter 23: The Alpha Pups
Moana

As I was drying off my hands on the plush hand towel, I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder.

It was Kelly.

“Oh… You scared me,” I said, taking a step backwards. “Do you need something?”

“Why haven’t you been doing your job?” she asked abruptly, her voice somewhat shrill. She seemed incredibly irritated, and her face was a bit red from alcohol.

“Um… Excuse me?” I asked.

Kelly laughed and rolled her eyes abrasively, folding her thin arms across her small chest. I was never much of the type to judge other women negatively for their bodies, but it was apparent that she was wearing a pushup bra through her almost-sheer dress, and it wasn’t working. In fact, now that I thought of it, I had hardly seen her eat anything at the luncheon the other day or at the banquet just now. It made me wonder if it was a regular thing for her to refuse food, which made me sorry for her.

“You’re the nanny,” she said, stepping toward me and poking her index finger into the center of my sternum. “You’re basically just a glorified maid whose only duty is to play with children all day. So, pray tell, why are you spending the evening running around with Edrick and Ethan instead of doing your job?”

I blinked, taken aback by Kelly’s rude behavior.

“Don’t just stare at me,” she snarled. “When someone asks you a question, you answer.”

“I’m entitled to spend a few minutes socializing when Ella is with her grandmother.” I attempted to step around Kelly, but she moved with me and stood in my way. She had her hands on her hips now.

“Ella is still with Verona,” she said. “She doesn’t need you, but I know someone else who does.”

I watched, confused by what Kelly seemed to be getting at, as she held up her hand in front of her face and inspected her nails. “There are children here who need watching, nanny,” she said, glancing up at me over her nails with an almost evil look on her face. “Do you want me to take you to them?”

I glanced over at the door. “Well, I promised Edrick I’d stay with him and Ella for the remainder of the night,” I said.

Kelly shrugged. “I spoke to Edrick. He said that he doesn’t care, so long as you’re preoccupied and not trying to f**k his brother.”
