His Nanny At Service

Chapter 36

Carmelia's POV

"Exactly how many days am I to sleep here?" I asked after getting bored in this room after a day.

"And exactly how many times will you the same sentence? Not many people get a good sleep, just shut your mouth and sleep." Tristan snapped after enduring with my tantrums for two hours.

"And what should I do after sleeping? You have brought your work and for the whole day I am just watching you with your laptop." I huffed and gestured at myself.

"Then, let's do one very interesting thing!" He smirked while saying that. And that moment, I just knew that...

I am not going to like this interesting thing.

"What?" I asked while eyeing him suspiciously.

"Help me. I have just started handling this company and seriously I need help. Ivy and Emi have their own shits as of now. Just suggest me something." He said to which I nodded.

"Ask." I said.

"My fat... I mean that guy. He issued few Global Depository Receipts with equity options and they are maturing soon. Now, I know if I issue more equity shares then the earnings per share for other holders will be diluted. What do you suggest I should do that all the stakeholders are satisfied." I nodded at him.

"How many Receipts holders are opting for conversion?" I asked.

"About 40%." I nodded.

"Then buy back your equity shares from open market or internally from the holders ready to sell them and then convert. The earnings will be guaranteed and GDR's can be paid and converted." I said while shrugging my shoulders.

"Woaah! It's so simple. Carmelia you are good at business. If you want... Can you be my advisor? Atleast till I am trained enough and ready to take-over on my own." I looked at him. How can this pure soul be hurt like this?

"Me? As your advisor? Ivano and Emiliano are there to help you. Why would you need me?" I asked after a nervous laugh.

"Because, I know you want to do something. You are thinking about what you will do now that everything is sorted in your personal life. And also, I liked your business advice and bith my friends might not be always available for me. And I am a certified childish business... You know just like that prince of 13 years asked to take care of kingdom after his father's death. I need an advisor." He said to which I smiled.

"Fine. I will do that... I will join your office after I leave this hellhole. But, I want you to help me shift from Esposito's. Find a new cozy house for me. On rent." I said.

"Done. I will find that for you." He said and went back to his laptop.

"You can come and see. You can me a few advices here and there." He said and asked to come and sit with him on the couch.

"For that. Come here and take me. I can't walk properly." I said and gestured him to see my leg injury. He said an inaudible sorry and came towards me.

Without another word, he carried me and settled safely on the couch. After sitting beside me with his laptop, he gestured me to see the laptop. That was when I realized, my eyes never left him... And still not ready to see his laptop, but I have no choice in this matter.

"Look, what a mess my company has become?" He said sadly while looking at the falling profit percentage.

"Still is a profit making company. Why don't you ask you Grandfather the USP of your company? He ran this business successfully for years, even he can guide you." I said and looked at the ratios.

"Yes, I did. He said he just used to make goods products and maintaining good relations with everyone. Rest all, I should handle myself." He said.

"Then that is USP. Quality service to the customers and taking your employees care. Only that way you will be able to restore your company." I said.

"I just hope so. I never had any ambition in my life, but I want to see him being proud of me." He said and looked at me.

"He is already." I said and looked at him.

"I never knew, you were like this." I laughed in embarrassment.

"It's hard to believe, right?" He shook his head.

"Not hard, but now I realized we never tried to understand you. It was like we were just seeing the outer shell and decided you were not good enough." He said while looking into my eyes.

"May be you all were correct. I am not good enough." I said slowly.

"You may be not be good. But you are enough for me." I looked at him in shock. Will he kiss me here?

"Huh?"

"I mean enough for me to understand that I was wrong." I nodded.

"I thought we just went off the track before." I said and while laughing.

"Really? Exactly what kind of track we went through?" He asked making me avert my eyes.

"Nothing. Let's continue your work." I said.

"No! First say, if you thought that I will kiss you?" He asked. Ignoring him, I tried getting up, but he held me back.

"Say." He said softly.

"Yes." I said.

"You were right. But, I can't do that. I know you like Emiliano and I will not do..."

I pulled him towards me.

"I don't. That was drugs talking and I think I already tried making you understand that." I said and pecked him.

"No. Maybe you were not this clear." Saying that he pulled me towards him... Just so much near to kiss and...

"What is happening here?" We jerked apart as soon as we heard the voice.
