The Runaway Groom

"Oh, it's fine!" Zachary smiled and picked up his cup of coffee for a sip. He looked up again after lowering the glass and said, "Stan told me that you had experience with many children abroad. What can you tell me about it? My child has been crying a lot since I've been busy lately, so I have to get a child care worker... Moreover, I'm a single man and not exactly the delicate type, so caring for children can get inconvenient.”

He certainly was not careless with her child, and he was left sighing upon remembering how Jean kept crying into the middle of the night! Lulu felt warmth in her heart seeing Zachary's attitude—any man who realized that he lacked the delicate touch was certainly giving his best! “I have cared for the children of several families abroad. You may read some of the feedback!" Lulu said, and handed him some of the materials she prepared. "I asked Stan to bring me back since staying abroad permanently isn't doing me any favors either."

"Wendy Jones...?"

Zachary could not help being disappointed to see a name he did not recognize.

Still, the data was detailed and presented in an official format, and they were prepared so comprehensively that one would not find any flaws. "Yes," Lulu replied with a straight face.

She could no longer be Lulu Adams now that she had returned to Zidonia—she needed a new name, which was a symbol of her new life! "You used to care for infants too, and the family has put in a good word for you." Zachary smiled as he combed through the materials. "Not bad... though I think there's a difference when it comes to childcare here and abroad. Do you think you're up for it?"

Women abroad dispensed with the need for postpartum care, and that meant a different lifestyle and different childcare!

“No problem!" Lulu smiled in return. "You have nothing to worry about— I have worked locally a while before heading abroad. You can call my former employers if you want."

She had certainly prepared for everything—she would do anything to get to her daughter!

“No, it's fine—you're Stan's cousin, and I'll blame him if anything happens." Zachary shook his head this time and put his hands on the cushion of his seat. "Still, my child is very young, and the maid I recently hired had trouble caring for her. When can you start? And how much would you like to be paid?"

They already agreed on a double salary yesterday.

"Just the standard pay would do, and some bonus if you find my work satisfactory,” Lulu replied.

The more eager she appeared to be, the more suspicious she would look—making everything appear natural was the priority for now.

"Of course—I brought an agreement, and we can sign it if you find no issues.”

Zachary took out the document from his bag, which he drafted yesterday although it was quite detailed.

"Of course.”

Lulu took the agreement and scanned through it. She smiled and nodded when she saw the pay!

She made herself appear to be a gold digger so Zachary would have that impression of her!Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
