Chapter 406
Not long after that day, a female superstar was revealed to have slept with different men, overshadowing news related to me. NôvelDrama.Org content.
In the end, my life was as peaceful as it used to be.
The studio gradually returned to normal. And the renovation of the former studio had almost been done. So we moved back.
I transformed one of Rosy's guest rooms into Glenn's room and got him back to my side.
If Glenn went to the same kindergarten as he did before, it would be troublesome. So I intended to transfer him to another kindergarten.
It just so happened that Nancy found a kindergarten offering a semi-boarding service for Cicely. She could live there from Monday to Thursday. And Nancy would pick her up and take her home on weekends.
According to Nancy, she had studied this kindergarten for a long time and found it quite reliable. So I sent Glenn there as well.
Since Glenn wasn't home at ordinary times, I had a lot of free time all of a sudden.
Apart from learning to drive, I focused on my work.
Once I became busy, I seemed to have left all the unhappiness Patrick caused to me behind.
However, I had to get Glenn back home soon.
The summer vacation came.
All of the children had to be taken home. Nancy had a nanny at her house. Even so, I felt embarrassed if I sent Glenn there every day.
When I was distressed, Paulina made a proposal to me. She had a nephew from her branch family who studied animation in the Arts Academy of City Y. He, who didn't want to put more burden on his family, did part-time jobs all the time during the summer vacation.
According to Paulina, her nephew liked children very much. And he, who was hard-working and capable, could help me take care of Glenn.
I never thought of hiring a boy to keep an eye on Glenn before. Even so, feeling that Paulina had introduced a reliable boy to me, I intended to meet him.
After getting off work that night, I followed Paulina to a milk tea shop at the entrance of the Arts Academy to see the boy.
Upon entering the milk-tea shop, Pauline and I immediately saw a boy in a white T-shirt standing up.
The boy looked fair with neatly short hair. Although he wore a somewhat worn T-shirt, the T-shirt was clean. And he wore a pair of casual pants and a pair of self-drawn canvas shoes.
Upon seeing his shoes, I couldn't help but recall that my classmates were fond of drawing on canvas shoes with layered paint back then.
Upon seeing him at first glance, I had a good impression of him.
"Paulina, nice to meet you both." The boy stood up and greeted Paulina and me.
I looked at Paulina, "Isn't he your nephew?"
"Yes." Paulina nodded and pulled me to sit down, saying, "According to the seniority, he should call me aunt. But I am still young. If he calls me aunt, won't it make me old? So I let him call me sister."
Oh, that made sense.
I thought that with Paulina's character, she indeed could do so.
"Hello, I'm Jason Baker. I'm now a junior from the Animation Department of Arts Academy."
The boy introduced himself.
Like his appearance, his voice sounded melodious.
I looked at this boy and saw that he was at most twenty years old. And I was at least ten years older than him. So I said to him, "Hello, my name is Janetta Nolan. You can call me Ms. Nolan."
"Won't the address... make you old?"
Jason seemed to be in a dilemma.
Paulina nodded on the side, "That's right! That's right. Janetta, if you ask him to do so, aren't you senior to me by a rank without even realizing it?" Then, she turned her head and said to Jason, "Call her Sister Janetta."
"Sister Janetta."
Upon hearing that, Jason agreed immediately.
Hearing Jason's words, I felt helpless and could no longer force him, asking, "Did Paulina tell you what your job responsibility will be if you work for me?"
After all, some boys might not be willing to take care of a child.
"Yes." Jason nodded and said, "According to Sister Paulina, you are a single mother. Your son is on summer vacation. And there is no one to take care of him. Someone has to take care of him."
"Yes, I'll prepare the dishes. You can heat them up with a microwave oven for him. Do you know how to heat up food with a microwave?"
To tell the truth, I hadn't been in contact with young people for many years.
For no reason, I didn't hold many expectations for children at Jason's age.
I always felt that they didn't know how to get many things done.
It would be good enough if they didn't mess things up.
Jason nodded, "Yes. And you don't have to prepare dishes in advance. It's best for children to have fresh- made meals. I can cook. And I can make your meals in advance as well."
Hearing his words, I was a little surprised.
Paulina on the side said with a smug look on her face, "What do you think, Janetta? This nephew of mine hasn't let you down, has he?"
"Does he know cooking? Then, it is fine." I didn't have any further questions. In the end, I should get his pay set. So I asked, "How much can you earn monthly in your summer vacation?"
"Generally..." After thinking for a moment, Jason said, "It won't be the same. When I was a freshman, I worked as a waiter at a restaurant and earned only 3,000 dollars a month. When I was a sophomore, I taught at a drawing studio and earned 4,000dollars at most..."
I said decisively, "Well, I'll pay you 6,000 dollars monthly. You will work from Monday to Friday at normal times. If there is any unusual situation on the weekend, I will inform you in advance."
Hiring a nanny at 6,000 dollars monthly wasn't too much nowadays.
In addition, the college students were more energetic than the senior females.
Besides being good at cooking, Jason knew drawing. Glenn should like him.
Hearing my offer, Jason immediately said excitedly, "Thank you, Sister Janetta."
This matter was settled in this way.
A week later, Jason came to my house for the first time on Monday.
I got up at 7 a.m, changed my clothes, and went downstairs, planning to cook. "Ding-dong!" Then my cell phone rang.
It was a text from Jason, which read, "Sister Jason, I'm at the door of your house. If you get up, please open the door for me.
I opened the door quickly.
Then I saw Jason standing at the door with a light blue T- shirt. Rolling up the sleeves to his shoulders, he revealed his skinny and yet muscular arms.
And he was dressed in a pair of sports shorts in his lower body, a pair of sneakers, and white socks.
The morning sunlight shone on his face and shone into his eyes, making him outgoing and bright.
"Why did you come so early?" I was a little surprised.
Jason said seriously, "Sister Paulina told me that you are quite busy, asking me to come here to make breakfast early. After I arrived here, fearing that you hadn't woken up, I waited at the door for a while. After hearing that there was a movement inside, I sent a text to you."
For a moment, I wondered how Jason would be so considerate, doubting whether he was a boy for real.
I lowered my head and found him a pair of slippers.
"Thank you."
Jason took off his sneakers. And I deliberately paid attention to his socks.
Well, his socks were white and clean, which made me have a good impression of him at once.
At least, he wasn't that kind of dirty boy.
I said, "It's okay. Glenn hasn't woken up yet. Why don't you take a rest first?" Then I turned around and went into the kitchen to make breakfast.
As soon as I took out the rice, Jason immediately ran over and said, "Sister Janetta, tell me what's in your kitchen. I'll make breakfast for you. In my house, I'm the one who cooks. Both of my younger sisters are lazier than me."
"Do you have sisters?"
"Yes, twin sisters." Jason smiled and held the rice in front of him in his hands, "Tell me briefly. I am smart. And I can keep whatever you say in my mind at once."
