Maid For Beckett Catching The Baseball Legend’s Heart novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188

-Andi-

In my stunned state, I dropped Nana Lucy’s hand. She didn’t even stagger in her footing. She was strong enough to head towards the building lobby and open the glass door by herself.

She left me on the curb, struggling to process what she’d just said.

‘Urgent. Resignation. What the hell?‘

Stunned, my world seemed to freeze. By the time I snapped out of it, Nana Lucy was already inside, disappearing into the lobby

‘Nana Lucy!” I called, almost tripping on my shoes as I ran after my husband’s grandmother. A very crazy grandmother a hat.

‘Andi?” Joyce looked up from mopping the floor, confused as to why I was running through the lobby.

‘Good morning, Joyce!” I chimed, waving good morning at her, trying to catch up with Nana Lucy.

‘Nana Lucy!” I found her in Siobhan’s office, sitting comfortably on the couch, while I tried to catch my breath.

Would it be possible to ask for a cup of tea?” she asked in her unbothered raspy voice. She even has the audacity to look u it me with pure innocence in her gray eyes. Those same eyes that Beckett has.

straightened my spine, stared at her as I pulled another breath. “Tea? Sure, I can get you a cup, but first, what do you mea by my resignation?”

She blinked at me, muddled. She stared at me as if I were a student whom she had already taught the subject to, and I was tupid enough to ask her to explain it again.

Yes, dear. Your resignation,” she reiterated. “Why do you look so surprised?”

1 am surprised,” I said, keeping my voice steady, though inside I wanted to pull my hair out. Nana Lucy maintained her composure as she sighed, as though she’d had enough of my stupor,

Come, sit,” she patted the empty space beside her. I stared at where her hand lay, wondering it I really needed to his conversation. I am sure I can handle this by standing up, but Nana Lucy was determined to make the with best wor You need to sit down, dear”

“Beckett filen have s sooner than she expected”

I knew Beckett didn’t want anything to do with the family business—he’d already told me as much–but from Nana Lucy’s

tone, there was more to it than he’d let on.

“I like you, Andrea. You knocked some sense into that stupid boy’s head, but I think you jumped into this without even knowing how deep the water is,” she muttered so calmly and slowly, as if she wanted me to process every word as she spoke them. “But since you’re already here, you have no choice but to stick your head through the surface, or you’ll drown.”

It was the perfect analogy for my situation, though I’d never admit it out loud.

Maybe the song was wrong. Love won’t keep us alive. Maybe love would be the end of me.

It’s the price of being a Maldini,” she muttered. “The same burden that Beckett had been trying to outrun, now you want t do the same, but I’m telling you this now, you can’t.”

looked at her helplessly. “If I resign, what am I going to do now?”

You have an entire empire to run, dear,” she said. If she meant for that to calm me, it did the opposite. It made sweat ooze

The watched me silently, pity coating her face before she tried a new approach to this conversation. “I understand. Andrea. But you can’t continue working for Siobhan or at the club for so many reasons.”

The nodded, her tone softer. “I understand.” She shot to her feet, ready to leave, but then Siobhan walked in

Nana Lucy!” she gasped, giving Nana Lucy a huge embrace. “What are you doing here?”

Nana Lucy looked down at me. “I just wanted to spend time with my granddaughter”
