She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 12

After leaving the office, Nia walked out of the company directly. Now that Theodore had enrolled in a kindergarten near Jardín de Nieve, the next thing she needed to do was to find an appropriate nanny and Lucia would have nothing to worry about.

Just as Nia was walking out of the Jibillion Inc building, someone bumped into her shoulder and there was the sound of a cell phone hitting the floor. Nia immediately apologized and bent down to pick it up. That person bent down as well and picked the phone up for Nia first. The latter was so grateful, but as she saw who was in front of her, she froze.

It was a middle-aged woman, who seemed extremely elegant and gentle. And there was a nice smile on her beautiful face, "There's no need to apologize. I didn't see you either."

Seeing Nia's dazed face, the woman started the conversation, "Miss, do you work for this company?"

"Oh, yes." Nia, having gathered her senses, answered, blushing.

"Then do you know the new executive, Lucia?" Seeing Nia was willing to chat with her, the woman continued.

Nia asked in turn, "Ma'am, do you know her?"

According to Nia, Lucia had no relatives in Athegate. Plus, since she had been abroad for such a long time and had just returned, it was unlikely that she had made any acquaintance. Then who was this lady?

"Yes, I do. I also know her son Theodore." Seeing the vigilant look on Nia's face, the woman answered with a gentle smile.

Her mentioning of Theodore made Nia less cautious, but still, Nia was reluctant to give any more information, "Can I ask why you want to see her?"

The woman smiled without saying a word. Instead, she handed the phone to Nia, glanced at her phone screen, and answered in a casual manner, "I heard she wants to hire a nanny."

"Yes, ma'am. You want to apply for it?" Nia could not help looking up and down, observing the woman. Was her bag Chanel? Well, even if she saved up several months of her salary, she could still not afford this bag…

Smart as the woman was, she read Nia's mind instantly, "Actually, my family is quite well off. My sons have all grown up and are busy doing their own businesses, leaving me alone at home. So honestly, I am quite lonely, which is why I want to take care of babies. I believe I would be happier. As for salary, I'm okay with whatever comes with this job. I just want to do something."

These lonely parents were rather common. Nia had met them before. When their children were out on their own, the parents suddenly had nothing to do after retirement, so they always wanted to find something they could be absorbed into. When Nia heard the woman's honest confession, she had something on her mind.

The lady seemed indeed elegant and cultivated. It would be absolutely great to have Theodore looked after by someone like her. It was just…

"Being a nanny is not an easy job. Are you…" Nia could hardly think of her working in the kitchen seeing her delicate fingers.

"Don't worry about it. Though it seems I'm not good at cooking." As she was speaking, she held up her hands, "I'm actually quite experienced. No one will criticize my soup. My sons have grown up drinking it. And they have grown well. I will not let you down."

"Really?" There was excitement flickering in Nia's eyes. Theodore was in need of nutrition recently. If the nanny was good at cooking, that would be truly beneficial for him.
