Babysitting The Billionaire’s Adult Son

Driving inside her creamy Benz, Kayla hissed a million times as her mind drift to how the department chief was telling her about teamwork. She unconsciously drops her thumb inside her mouth, and she nips on it real hard that blood ooze out of the cut without realising or feeling any pain from the bite.

After the embarrassing moment with Ben that night, she clearly remembers everything that happened that night the next morning, when she sobered up. She woke up to meet herself at his apartment, she clearly remember how he took her out of the bar and how she embarrassed herself by telling him about her childhood crush, to how she called some passing cars giant ants and she couldn’t look Ben in the face since that day.

She has been avoiding him like a plague and didn’t understand why the chief has to pair them together as a team in the next operation which they are getting ready for. She has to be there before noon and it’s almost time for her to go meet Ben at the supposed target casino but she can’t go when she’s not in control of her sense, and not even ready to meet him in person.

She need to grab a cup of drink to calm her nerves before she could think of what to do. She is still lost in thought that she didn’t realise when smoke started to emerge from the engine of her car.

She didn’t realise until she sights a store from afar. She gasp on seeing the car is already filled up with smoke that she couldn’t tell where the smoke is coming from. She steps on the break and drives into the store parking lot at high speed.

Kayla is allergic to smoke and she has already inhaled a lot of smoke before she pulls up in front of the store. She stretch out her hand to the handle of the car but couldn’t see clearly because of the smoke.

She coughs profusely and grabs her neck with both palms. With eyes bulge out like a dying frog, to her tongue stuck out gasping for breath. She coughs out blood and she is already feeling her soul leaving her body due to how much she has inhaled into her skull. She bang the door with her shoulder continuously, hoping the door could just push open so she could get out before she died inside the car.

By then the seatbelt has already been off her body, and tears pour out of her eyes like a stream as she didn’t know what to do at that moment. Who should she call? Where should she press? She doesn’t know as the smoke has already taken her mind, and she couldn’t think straight.

Suddenly the door twists open from the outside, Kayla falls to the ground and someone quickly takes her as soon as her body hit the ground.

“Somebody help!” that’s the only thing she could hear before passing out into the person’s arms.

Some moments later,

Kayla wakes up to the sounds of a beeping machine blasting angrily into her head; her eyes are flung open and they are welcome by a white surrounding that doesn’t feel in any way familiar to her.

“Ahh,” She groans inwardly when she feels a sting pain in her head, so she tries moving her hand to her head but she couldn’t move them.

She moves her gaze to her hand, only to different bags of drip fixed on her arm. She stares down at her body to behold that she has been clad in a hospital gown.

“What happened? Why am I here?” she tried to think about what incident lead her to the hospital but couldn’t remember anything that happened.

She was at the office when the chief called for her, she went to meet him and he told her about how she was good to work. After singing her praise for about five minutes, he stop calling her beautiful names and told her she was going to work with Detective Ben.

After the chief contacted Ben and feed him with the teamwork and stuff, she stood up from the seat and marched angrily to her car at the carport. She got inside and revive the engine to life.

She remembered driving towards the place she ought to meet up with Ben with the thought of stopping by a store to get something to drink.

She gasps in shock when she recalls how smoke started emerging from the car to when she fainted when someone opened the door from outside.

“Someone saved my life.” she gasp in the excitement that she was in the hospital and not in the middle of life and death. “Ahh,” she cries when she feels her headache becoming worst. She grabs her head in her hand, whining so hard as the pain hurt her.

The door twists open and someone walks in. The click and clack of heavy boots on the tile grasp her attention. She raises her head and sits straight on the bee.

Kayla smiled and tries looking up to the door, hoping the person she doesn’t know at least, so won’t feel bad while thanking her.

Ben enters the ward in his glory. He walks up to Kayla and sits down on the seat next to her bed.

“Hey, I can see you are finally up. Are you still feeling pain in your head?” He asks as soon as he settles down on the seat.

Kayla’s face darted to him as she speaks, she forcefully closes her eyes and then opens them back to see if she was seeing clearly. Her sight isn’t playing a game with her, she’s seeing right and the person in the room with her, sitting next to her on the bed is no other person but the dude she is trying to avoid.

Kayla stands up from the bed without saying anything, she forcefully takes out the drip that was fixed to her body.

Seeing her doing this, Ben stands up from the seat and tries to stop her but she shrugs her shoulder.

Kayla tries to walk past him but she seems light and she staggered backwards before falling into his chest, and he wraps his arms around her body.
