MEET AND GREET

But now Mrs. Thompson was about to bring Charlotte, so she couldn't even take a shower. She had to spend the whole day with the scent of his perfume, which was not unpleasant, just a bit masculine, making Amelia feel uncomfortable.

Mrs. Thompson came downstairs with Charlotte. When Amelia's eyes fell on Charlotte, she immediately recognized her. Was this the same girl she met yesterday at the traffic signal? Truly, the world is small. How Amelia was introduced to that adorable and innocent girl. That little cute girl of 3 years with round pink cheeks and lovely big eyes. Once you see her, you can't forget her.

Charlotte also raised her eyes upon seeing Amelia, something she rarely did. But she did it today upon seeing Amelia. Ethan was also observing all this from a distance. Mrs. Thompson had also noticed everything.

Ethan was thinking to himself, "There's really something about this girl that Charlotte, who rarely reacts to anything, has reacted twice now upon seeing her."

For some reason, after Amelia's arrival, Ethan felt that he could go to his office without any worries. He didn't have breakfast and grabbed his laptop bag, immediately leaving for the office.

Amelia shook hands with Charlotte and said lovingly, "Hello, sweetie! Do you recognize me? I'm the taxi lady."

Charlotte just looked at her and didn't respond. In Amelia's mind, she wondered, "What could be the reason for this girl's condition? Does her father not take care of her? But based on her father's behavior during the interview yesterday, he doesn't seem like the caring type." Amelia couldn't help but think about how many candidates must have been rejected before her.

Amelia contemplated whether she should ask Mrs. Thompson about it. However, since it was her first day, she thought it would be too soon to show such curiosity. She carried Charlotte in her lap and took her to the dining table to prepare breakfast for her.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Thompson was thinking to herself, "Feeding Charlotte is always a challenging task. Will this girl be able to handle it?" However, Amelia's unique trick to feed a child caught Mrs. Thompson's attention.

Amelia persuaded Charlotte and said, "Sweetie, you know you can hear sounds coming from your tummy. It's your tummy talking; it's hungry. If you don't eat, it will become sad. And we don't want to make anyone sad, right? I never make anyone sad." Saying this, Amelia spread butter on a slice of toast and offered it to Charlotte.

Charlotte looked at Amelia with her big brown eyes and opened her small mouth. On her first day, Amelia managed to feed Charlotte easily. It seemed like a task she was familiar with. Mrs. Thompson was pleasantly surprised, unable to believe that Amelia could handle it. It seemed Ethan's choice for Charlotte's nanny was spot-on.

Mrs. Thompson received daily calls from Ethan, inquiring about Charlotte. Today, at exactly 11 o'clock, Mrs. Thompson received a call from Ethan. She picked up the phone and said, "Has Charlotte eaten her food?" Ethan asked Mrs. Thompson loudly over the phone.

Mrs. Thompson happily replied, "Son, this girl is truly amazing. She fed Charlotte by telling her a story about her hungry tummy, and Charlotte finished her food in one go. It seems like hiring this girl was the perfect decision."

Upon hearing Mrs. Thompson's words, Ethan felt a sense of relief. Now he could focus on his work more easily. Meanwhile, Amelia picked up Charlotte in her arms after breakfast and took her to the living room, switching on the TV. She put on cartoons and sat with Charlotte, watching them together.

Mrs. Thompson said to Amelia, "Dear, Ethan has set a specific time for Charlotte to watch TV in the evening when he's with her."

Amelia was surprised and said, "How did they know that Charlotte has to watch TV at that time? Poor thing can't even speak. Look at how interested she is while watching."

Mrs. Thompson appreciated Amelia's words, thinking that Charlotte should be allowed to watch TV when she wants to. She didn't say anything further.

Amelia and Charlotte sat there watching cartoons for about an hour. Eventually, Charlotte's eyelids began to grow heavy with sleep. Amelia supported Charlotte's head and let her rest on her own chest. They sat together as if they were mother and daughter.

Amelia's own eyes started to feel heavy too. At that moment, Ethan also returned home, taking a break from work. When he entered the living room, he saw Charlotte sleeping, cuddled up against Amelia's chest.

They looked incredibly cute sleeping together. Since the TV was off, Ethan didn't realize that Amelia had violated his rules. He watched them for a while before quietly heading to his room.

Amelia was still asleep when she opened her eyes, and it was already afternoon. She woke up Charlotte so that she could prepare lunch for her. Charlotte wrapped her hands around Amelia's neck, still clinging to her shoulder as Amelia sat her at the dining table.

Amelia put her ear against Charlotte's stomach and said, "Hmm, you're hungry again. But look, Charlotte isn't even opening her mouth to eat. What did you say? End the friendship with Charlotte if she doesn't eat?" Amelia continued to entangle Charlotte in her playful words and managed to feed her once again.

Ethan was observing Amelia's trick from a distance and quite liked it. However, he knew that he wouldn't be able to feed Charlotte like that himself.

When Amelia heard the sound of Ethan's footsteps, she realized that he was standing right behind her. She trembled, thinking that he must have seen her doing that.

Ethan quickly left without showing any sign that he had seen her. Amelia let out a deep breath after he was gone. After the morning meeting, Amelia couldn't bear to look at Ethan anyway.

After feeding Charlotte, Amelia took her outside for a walk on the beach. She knew it would help freshen Charlotte's mind. Mrs. Thompson had forgotten to mention that Ethan didn't allow Charlotte to go out without security. Ethan knew very well that it could put Charlotte's life at risk.

But Amelia was unaware of all this. After a tiring day of feeding and carrying Charlotte around, she put Charlotte to sleep in her room and lay down on the bed without changing her clothes.
