485 The Children’s Reputation

Hence, when the both ladies applied for the nanny position, Reina was overjoyed and scheduled an interview with them today. Reina didn’t know how but the news made rounds across the internet claiming that her kids were pranksters – she was not going to deny that – however, it wasn’t true what the rumors claim her children did to their previous nannies. Nor did it help matters that the kids sent their nannies packing every single day!

At first, Reina had to pause one time to read the signs, thinking it was an act of retaliation from her kids because she was not giving them enough attention, but that was not the case. Her kids just loved causing chaos and she knew that trait was from their father’s side having been Isabella’s nanny in the past.

Isabella had not made it easy for her in the first place but she did not give up and won the girl over with time. But Reina was pissed with nannies of today, sure, her kids were difficult and that was why their pay was very sumptuous, but most of them came quitting at the end of the day, claiming they couldn’t deal with them. It was as if they didn’t have a spine anymore.

All the nannies did was complain and most of them, before even coming, already had a view of her children from what they had read on the internet. Hence, all they needed was just one prank from them – especially from Elsa – and they quit instantly. They complain about how it was simply difficult to care for her kids and one of them even dared to curse them – and Reina made sure she never forgot that.

None of them was brave enough to get to know her children first. They couldn’t see that beyond the surface this was her kid’s way of trying to get their attention. Not all kids were born to be obedient and it seems all of her children inherited Spencer family’s rebellious streak.

In one word, Reina didn’t have much hope for the nannies coming today knowing that they would quit at the end of the day. That was why Reina had to clean the kid’s room and get rid of any trap. But knowing her kids, they already saw this coming and already had another set of traps saved somewhere else and planning to reinstall them once she’s gone.

Reina sighed, if only the twins Allen and Ailee weren’t away studying, they would have handled their siblings better. But then, she would have to make do with the nanny today, if only they manage to pass through her interview.

Knowing her background, Reina had enemies who would try to hurt her or her father Sakuzi, by harming her kids.

Hence, she had a background check done on the two women who coincidentally applied on the same day and they seem clean so far.

.....

“Madam Reina,” One of the staff came to inform her, “You have a guest,”

“She is here, already?” Reina muttered to herself, checking her time and it was precisely nine. At least, this one was a timekeeper and it impressed her.

“I’ll be there soon,” She told the staff who left just as the triplets walked into their room in a file. Reina loved that they did things in unison and yet it feared her at the same time. She could swear that the kids communicated psychically at times because with just a look, they passed information – that would no doubt lead to trouble.

“Alright, listen up, young people,” Reina snapped her fingers to get their attention and they obediently lifted their heads which made her brows furrow. Never trust when her kids were this compliant.

“I’m going to your sister Isabella’s place today to plan your cousin’s birthday which means that you’re getting a new nanny today,” Reina announced and their eyes lit up like Christmas came early and they exchanged that creepy look thing making her wonder if her kids have a hive mind or something.

But then her stomach sank at the same time they exchanged looks, Reina knew that meant their nanny was not going to last more than today. However, she was not going to make it easy for them.

“If you don’t behave today, I’ll make sure you don’t visit your grandfather’s place for the holiday.” She threatened them.

Her kids loved Sakuzi’s lair because they were free there and could embrace their inner devil. And as much as Reina adored her father and understood his occupation, that doesn’t mean she wanted her kids to be part of the Mafia, especially her twelve-year-old daughter Elsa and the eldest of the triplet.

They had enough money to give Elsa the kind of future she needed to contribute to society, not the Mafia way. Her interest there was beginning to bother Reina and that was why she began to limit their visits to the base. But not for long because Sakuzi would want to see his grandchildren soon.

“Do you get me?”

“Yes, mom!” They chorused and the serious expression on their faces calmed Reina for a bit even though she knew inwardly that they would be up to no good once she left.

With a long look their way, Reina finally walked out of the room, closed the door behind her, and hurried downstairs to go meet her guest.

Her guest was a young girl with blonde hair and eyes the color of honey, Reina recognized her as Mimi instantly.

“Hello there,” Reina announced her presence and Mimi stood to her feet with a smile on her face.

“Good morning to you, madam Reina,”

“Please call me, Reina,” She told Mimi, taking her hand in a handshake and directing her to sit down beside her on the couch.

“Honestly, Reina, You look more beautiful in person,” Mimi complimented her, attempting to create a light environment.

“Well, thank you,” Reina blushed, sensing her sincerity. She was beginning to like the girl.

However, this was time for business and Reina cleared her throat, and began,

“I’m sure you must have heard of my children’s reputation before applying for this job, right?”
