Chapter 10
“Does Mr. Ethan pay his workers close to one million dollars a week?” Irish asked that one question in her mind.
“One million dollars a week?” Gabrielle nearly screamed. Irish nodded and Ms. Gabrielle blinked her eyes in shock. “Hell No!’.
A week!
Not even a month!
“Why did you ask ? Is Ethan paying you that amount?” Gabrielle asked Irish and she hesitated before answering.
She feel she can trust the woman.
Gabrielle had told her so much without even considering the fact that she’s new. “Yeah” Irish replied slowly.
“Wow!” Ms. Gabrielle exclaimed inwardly.
For Ethan to pay a nanny that amount, then there’s something behind it. He definitely wants to help her.
Is the lady probably suffering from a problem?
Ethan should have just sent his philanthropy company to do the job instead of that huge pay. It’ll of course raise eyebrows.
She’ll need to call him and discuss with him later. Gabrielle cleared her throat.
“Irish, to be sincere, i don’t think Ethan pays his workers close to that amount but he’s someone who can do anything he wants. Ethan always have a reason for everything. He definitely have a reason for wanting to pay you that amount. He wants to help you” Gabrielle said.
“Help me? I never told him i needed help.” Irish said.
Apart from getting enough money to clear the bad image the jewelry company has created against her father, Irish don’t think she’s in need of money.
“You never told him you needed help?” Gabrielle asked.
“Yes” Irish answered.
“Well.. Ethan has his way of doing things, just go along with him” Gabrielle said. “I will” Irish said but inside her , she was worried.
“Fifteen minutes already” Irish stood up and quickly walked out of the kitchen.
Gabrielle smiled, she hoped Irish won’t stop this diligent act as time goes on. It’s okay to start a new work with good attitude and then , the attitude fades away with time. She hoped Irish won’t be like that.
If Ethan pays his workers one million dollars a week, it’s possible cause his family originated from wealth, they are billionaires plus the fact that Ethan is a billionaire on his own even without his family’s money, he had worked very hard regardless of his family status but even with how generous Ethan is, she has never heard he pay his employees close to one million dollars a week! .
She sighed and focused on the meal she was preparing.

Irish got to Arin’s room and found the little girl trying to open her eyes. She quickly moved close to her and bent over her.
“Arin, are you okay?” She asked before touching her body. What the ..!
She’s burning up!
Arin finally opened her eyes and placed her tiny palm on her forehead.
“Dad” She whimpered.
“Arin, it’s your nanny” Irish said, blinking severally.
“Where’s my daddy” her voice was weak.
“He should be downstairs, You’re burning up” Irish said. “I need my dad” A trace of tears fall on her cheeks.
“I’ll call him for you” Irish said and made to rush out of the room but bumped into Ethan. “Is she awake?”
“Yes, she’s calling for you” Irish said, feeling relieved that he was there. Ethan rushed to his daughter who hold his hand firmly immediately. “Dad”!
“It’s okay Arin. Daddy is here” he pecked her forehead.
“Daddy, My head hurts”Arin cried.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“You’ll be okay, I promise, I sent for your doctor already’ If that freaking Catherine hadn’t appeared,
This wouldn’t have happened. How much he hated the sight of her!
“The doctor will be here soon okay?” Ethan said to his daughter and she nodded slowly. She didn’t let go of his hand and he let her be.
She’s always that way whenever she’s ill.
Ethan sighed and was about picking his phone to call the doctor again when he saw Irish walked into the room with water in a bowl and a piece of clean cloth.
He had been so engrossed in his daughter that he hadn’t noticed when Irish left the room.
He watched as she moved close to Arin and then bent before her.
“This will keep help in keeping her temperature cool till the doctor arrives” Irish said as she dipped the cloth into the water.
Arin glanced at her dad and he gave her a reassuring look.
Irish squeezed the wet cloth and started by dabbing Arin’s forehead with it.
She moved to her body after a while and that went on for a completely long and silent moment.
Ethan found himself staring at at her while she tend for his daughter.
She had packed her hair uptight and the tendrils framing her face were no longer there . She was looking so serious and worried.
She looked just like a worried mother. A beautiful one at that.
