Chapter 6: 06 - His Perspective
Jaxon's Point of View
I explained things to the man who's one of the staff in my hotel as he led me to where the urgent
meeting was being held. An hour passed and finally, the company's problem was fixed. They just
needed my permission to approve things. One by one, people left the room. Alone, I stared at the
ceiling and thought about the caretaker of my kids, Autumn.
My decision was right for giving her the job, I'm sure she'd be a great mother someday.
I smiled to myself and stood up, exiting the room.
As I walked through the halls, I remembered the fact that Autumn was wearing my polo at the moment.
I hope no one walks in again for it would be another embarrassing moment for the both of us. Her looks
and features of wearing my polo didn't leave my head. It instead kept popping up and I can't stop
thinking about it. My cheeks burned and I covered my mouth with the back of my right hand.
What is this feeling? This is so weird, I don't like it.
I shook my head and closed my eyes, making my way to my comfort zone, my office.
I opened the doors and was about to call Autumn when I realized she was fast asleep with my children
on the sofa.
“Cute,” I blurted out.
Wait, why did I say that?
Again, I shook my head and then took my suit off. The rain still didn't stop and even if the heater was
turned on, I got to say that it wasn't enough to warm me up. Thinking about Autumn's exposed legs, I
covered her up with my suit then knelt on the floor beside them. The three of them looked cute
together. She looks like she's their mother. Except that their real mother didn't care about them. The
bad thing is, these two kiddos didn't feel their real mother's love. Guess I made the right decision to hire
a nanny on such short notice.
I chuckled to myself. “A nanny, huh?” Kissing the foreheads of my children, I stood up and sat down on
my office chair, and started to work my ass off once again.

A few hours passed and finally, work is over for today, but Autumn and the children were still in a deep
sleep.
I guess they got tired from playing.
I smiled and dialed the number of the reception area. “Yes, Sir Jaxon? How can I help you?” the new
receptionist asked.
“Get Luke up here in my office and get the ground floor cleared for half an hour, not even you should be
there,” I answered and immediately put the phone down, not waiting for the woman to respond.
Luke was the one who saw us earlier, saw her wearing my clothes with bare legs to be exact. He's still
pretty much young, but he must keep his mouth shut about that. I don't want rumors spreading all over
my hotel. “You called for me, sir?” Luke asked as he opened the door.
I raised my hand. “Shhh, they're sleeping.”
“Oh, I'm sorry,” he said in a hushed voice.
“Get the twins, gently put them in their stroller. Get that bag, my laptop is in there. Wait for me at the
elevator,” I ordered and he quickly did what I told him to do.
I sighed and poked Autumn's cheek. “So you're one of those people who sleeps like a log.
“Well then, upsy daisy, I'm going to carry a nanny.” I quietly laughed at my joke and left my office.
As I walked straight down the hall, Autumn rubbed her cheek against my chest. For a moment, my
world stopped. Why do I feel so drawn to this woman? I don't get it. “Sir Jaxon?” Luke asked from afar
which snapped me out of my bubble.
“Oh, yeah, coming,” I answered and headed to where he was.
When the elevator door opened, we got in. “You seemed attached to this woman,” Luke said, grinning
weirdly at me.
“What, Luke? I'm attached to all of you here.” I rolled my eyes at him, trying hard not to look at
Autumn's face.
He wriggled his eyebrows. “But not as attached as you are to her right now.”
“Luke,” I warned and glared at him.
“What? You could've told me to carry her, but you decided to carry her yourself. Now tell me that isn't
odd as fuck.” He continued to wriggle his eyebrows. In annoyance, I lightly nudged him with my elbow.
“She's their nanny. It's her first day. She's tired and I thought that it was my time to work out, so why not
carry a woman?” I answered and the elevator dinged.
As it opened, Luke nudged me back. “Deny all you want, but I'm gonna believe that you got a thing for
the nanny, sir.”
“Whatever,” I simply answered. We walked out of the elevator and headed towards the big exit door.
No one was around, the ground floor is quiet, the guard isn't around as well. They're getting better at
obeying now. After putting Autumn on the front of the passenger seat, I placed the seat belt around her.
She's still fast asleep. She is a log, just like my twins.
“Thanks, Luke.” I patted his shoulder when he's done setting my children at the back.
“No problem, sir. Oh, please, take care of this missy here,” he teased. I rolled my eyes.
“Shut up. She's the caretaker of my twins. That's all there is to it, period,” I answered and lightly
punched his shoulder.
“Whatever you say, sir, whatever you say,” He answered, still teasing me.
I hopped onto the driver's seat, rolled the window on Autumn's side. “Get back to work, all of you,” I
ordered. He gave me a salute that made me smile before I sped off.
* * *
The gates opened when I got home. I parked my car. I carried the twins out first inside the house and to
their room.
I got back to the car, turned the car off, and then carried Autumn.
Since I don't have anyone besides me and the kids in the house, maybe I'd give her the room just
beside mine. That room was designed to be girlish. There's nothing bad about Autumn sleeping there,
right?
I nodded to myself, answering my question.
Yeah, I guess I am a weird.
When I entered the room, it was still as clean as before. It's been a while since I came in here. No one
sleeps in this room even though I hire people to tidy and clean everything in the house once a week.
I was a few steps away from the bed when I felt Autumn's head move. When I looked at her, she was
awake with wide eyes and a stupidly shocked face.
Well, this isn't good.
From her reflexes, she tried to push me and get off of my grasp, but since I was too worried about her
falling on the floor, I still lost my balance, but we made it on the bed. The only bad thing is, I'm on top of
her and my lips were placed on hers. Her eyes widened and I could tell that she was confused about
whether to slap me and push me away or stay like that so she couldn't hurt her boss.
I scrambled away from her, it's not like she's the only one who was shocked here for fuck's sake.
She immediately sat up, and from her pale-colored face, it immediately scaled up to be red as a
tomato. Oh god, what did I do? I literally, but accidentally kissed a caretaker! Someone that I'm not in a
relationship with.
What if it's her first? I don't know!
“I...I'm sorry, Autumn, I didn't mean to.” My cheeks burned and I averted my eyes away from her.
“Yeah . . . I understand, sir,” she replied. We stayed like that, too embarrassed to do anything for the
fear of turning into another disaster.
“Well, don't think about it too much, it was an accident, and I'm so sorry for that. I lost my balance and I
didn't want you to fall on the floor, I'm sorry,” I quickly answered, trying to pull myself together and act
cool.
“Of course, sir. I'm sorry as well, because of me, we ended up in a situation like this,” she answered
with her head down.
“Well then, it's gonna be a long day tomorrow. Please do take some rest once again. Oh, by the way,
this will be your room.” And with that, I left her alone and headed to my room. I slammed my door shut
and dove onto the bed.
“Why does a person who sleeps like a log need to wake up at a time like that?” I asked the nothingness
in my room. And why the hell did the gods decide to make us kiss that way? Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
I buried my head on my favorite pillow and groaned. My whole face is still heating up.
So fucking embarrassing.
