She is a CEO by George Chapman
Chapter 14 She's Back
The woman was wearing a long dress. Her charm and elegance were not at all overshadowed by the apron. And there was a warm smile on her face. Who could think that she was a nanny?
"Welcome home, Miss Webb. Where's the kid?" She asked gently, quietly observing the nice girl in front of her.
"Oh." Lucia gathered her senses, "Theodore's at the dining table, and you are…?"
"Just call me Auntie Sophie. I am your new nanny." While she was introducing herself, she approached Lucia and took over her bag, "It must have been cold outside. I made some hot soup. Go take one and warm yourself."
Just then, Theodore went back to the living room. On seeing Auntie Sophie, he could not help gaping, "Grandmother?"
"Oh, Theodore." When she saw Theodore, her smile was even bigger. She soon walked to him to help him take off the coat and urged him to have a hot soup.
Theodore lowered his voice, "What are you doing here? Grandma?"
Right, the nanny that Nia found and the woman that greatly surprised Theodore was exactly Arthur's mother, Sophie.
"Hush. Don't tell your mother who I am. I just want to look after you both." Sophie hurried to cover his mouth.
"I think grandma wants to see what kind of person my mom is." Theodore's little humor amused Sophie. They exchanged a smile and kept it a secret.
When housework was finished, it was seven o'clock in the evening. Lucia and Theodore escorted her downstairs.
Jan, Sophie's partner, picked her home. When she arrived home and met Arthur, she simply explained that she was having fun outside. Though Arthur was exceedingly smart, he could not imagine that her mom was now Lucia's nanny.
"Arthur, did you see the mother of that boy today?" Sophie dragged Arthur to the couch in the living room, intending to hear all the details.
"Yes, I didn't know she is also from MIT."
