Chapter 9

Gabrielle folded her arms as she hugged the pillow. Her stomach hurts a bit. She looked at the watch lying on the table near the bed. It's six o'clock.

"For sure, damulag Chase is awake."

Her stomach ached a bit. Nature does not call her. She hugged the pillow even more.

"I think I'm going to die..." she cried.

Meanwhile... When Chase finished dressing, he immediately went downstairs. He went straight to the kitchen and saw Guile was busy cooking breakfast.

"Your Mother?" he asked.

"In house. Our youngest Mimi is sick so I will take care of her duties until my sister recovers."

"Tell your Mom, it's okay with me that she's not here for a few days. I'm already big and Gabo is here with me. I have a babysitter."

Guile laughed slightly and glanced at Chase.

"Really, Sir? Are you still proud to have a nanny?"

Chase shrugged.

"Rich eh." he just laughed.

He looked at Guile's cooked breakfast. Scrambled egg with lots of cheese. He saw next to the toasted pandesals. Then he saw a mug that contain a black coffee.

"Naks, you already know the mixture of my coffee ah? I'll leave you and I need to wake up my nanny. She should feed me."

"Damulag!" Guile's comment was unstoppable.

He answered with just a silly laugh. He went on and climbed up again to go to Gabrielle. When he arrived at the door of her room, he immediately knocked.

"Gabo! Wake up! It's breakfast time! Yo-hoo!" he called.

He frowned without being answered.

"Does it seem like sleep is good?"

He turned the doorknob and it was not locked. He finally opened the door and entered the room. He saw the girl lying there hugging the pillow tightly. It is tilted. He approached and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Hoy, Gabo! Wake up there..."

He frowned when he saw sweat forming on her forehead. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him...

"S-Sir..."

It obviously does not feel good. He felt anxious.

"What hurts you?!" he asked worriedly.

"M-My stomach hurts,"

"H-Ha?!"

Chase was suddenly confused and did not know what to do. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself. He guess, it's just now that he's confused for the rest of his life?

"Is your stomach hurting?"

"Pretty..."

"Does nature call you?"

"No, but something is spinning inside my stomach... It hurts."

"What did you eat last night?" he asked worriedly.

"I don't know. I don't know how to read the menu so I just let Faust order our food. I guess it's just like this when you're not used to sassy foods..."

Chase smiled slightly and stroked Gabrielle's forehead.

"It looks like your stomach is shocked by what you ate last night. I’ll just take the ointment in the cabinet, rub it in your stomach to let out the rotating bad air inside. If it is still not effective, I will give you soda. Fortunately, you only got stomach cramps."

Chase got up and walked out. Gabrielle looked behind the man. For the opposite? It takes care of her. She couldn't help but smile at that thought. Guile was currently serving at the table when Chase came down.

"Oh, where is Gabrielle?"

"She has stomach pain. I think, she was shocked by what she ate last night. That Gay Ghost is ready for me... I will charge him."

"What has Faust got to do with this?" Guile ask in amazement.

"He was the one who ordered what they ate last night. Gabrielle can't read what's on the menu. Why is there so much more art of those food names?! It should just be simplified so that no one falls victim. Buwisit!"

Chase went straight to the border cabinet where the medicine box was placed. He took there a bottle of ointment. Guile smiled as he watched his Senior because it was the first time he had seen it worry. He used to calm it all the time. It hurried upstairs when it got what it needed.

Gabrielle looked at Chase as he entered her room again. He handed her the bottle of ointment.

"Just put a little ointment on your stomach. The heat of this one burn when you put a lot."

"Thank you."

She took the bottle of ointment and opened it immediately. She put a little on his right palm and rubbed it on her stomach. Chase was a little taken aback when he saw Gabrielle's white and flat stomach. His whole face warmed. He was shaken... He used to see women in two piece swimsuit when he went to the beach. That's all, those women do not heat his face. He was slightly shaken. Gabrielle closed the ointment bottle and adjusted her clothes after she applied medicine to her stomach. She looked at Chase again. Her face flushed as she stared at him.

"There is a problem?"

It was stunned. But after a while it spoke again.

"I'll bring you breakfast. I'll make you some hot coffee, that will help. What's your blend?" instead Chase spoke.

"The coffee is almost white with cream and only two-teaspoons of sugar."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

"Thank you sir." Gabrielle said shyly.

Chase smiled sparingly at her and slightly ruffled her hair.

"Get well."

He got up again and went out of her room. She hugged the pillow again. She smiled again. The care of her boss and his caring. After a while, she felt her stomach heat up. She felt a little relieved and burst out loud. She breathed a sigh of relief, it looked like the bad air had come out of her stomach. It's just that, it still hurts a bit and she still feels a little weak.

Guile, meanwhile, looked intently at Chase as he placed the food on the tray.

"I'll bring Gabrielle breakfast and I'll accompany her. You, eat there too."

Guile frowned slightly.

"Is that so? I will be left alone here? So, unfair." he complained pretending.

He has a day off today so it is okay for him to replace his mother.

"The amount of art you have." Chase said.

Carrying the tray, he left immediately. Guile was depressed and smiled.

"You're the Nanny now, Sir Chase. Doesn't he know he's late for work?"

He picked up a pandesal with a scrambled egg with lots of cheese. Meanwhile... Gabrielle slowly got up when she saw Chase enter the room carrying the tray with only food.

"Come on, let's have breakfast together." its language is still smiling.

She smiled slightly at it. She looked at the watch on the table next to the bed.

"Sir, you are late." her worried language.

"It's okay. I'll just report to the office today. Then, I'll go home right away to see you."

She was embarrassed to look at it.

"You don't have to do that. I'm okay. I’ve had a burp before and my stomach doesn't hurt anymore."

Chase sigh.

"I also can't concentrate eh. I'll just worry. Also, I also want to visit Guile's youngest sister Mimi. He said she was sick so Aling Tale didn't get in now so you, eat there because when I come back... We will go to Guile's house. What?"

Gabrielle's smile widened.

"I think that's a good idea. I also want to go for a walk."

She took a pandesal and then she bit. The toasted pandesal is delicious, especially its stuffed scrambled egg with lots of cheese. Chase accompanied her on the meal and as they ate breakfast what was their topic. In fact, purely trivial but they enjoy their conversations. When they finished eating, Chase immediately left.

"What do you want a pasalubong?" suddenly its language.

(Pasalubong-present given by one arriving on a trip. Usually foods or souvenirs. A sign of thoughtfulness.)

"I want blueberry cheesecake. I suddenly missed my Mom. She makes me blue-berry cheesecake when I feel bad."

"Okay. Take a break. Guile is here. Tell him if you need anything. Bye!"

"Thank you Sir!"

Gabrielle smiled and hugged the pillow. It's nice to get sick when the caregiver is sweet.

Chase lowered the tray to the sink. He turned to Guile who was busy drinking coffee and eating pandesal. It does not end with breakfast.

"You will take care of this. Take care of Gabo, I will be back soon. We’re going to Mimi, I'm worried about your sister."

Guile smiled at Chase.

"My sister will definitely be happy. How is Gabrielle?"

"She's okay. It's good and she just got gas. All right, I'll leave you. Bye!"

Guile just waved in response. Chase used his motorbike because he was late. But when he got there at the headquarters it was Junior Agent Faust that his eyes were looking for.

"Sir, you're late!"

He looked at the speaker and saw the smiling Junior Agent Rupture.

"Where is Faust?" instead he spoke.

"There in the garden, doing his paperwork’s."

"Please tell, he'll wait for me there. I need something from him."

Rupture nodded.

"Okay!"

Chase entered the headquarters and went straight to his office. He met Rock in the hallway.

"Are you late?" accost him.

"I know... I'll just make a report and then I'll go home right away. I don't have an assignment assigned to me right now."

Rock frowned.

"Why are you so lazy now? You're a workaholic."

"Tsk, Gabrielle is sick. Her stomach hurts there because of the food ordered by Ghost-Gay! I mean... by Faust. So, I have to go home right away."

Rock laughed softly and shook his head.

"You and Miss De Jesus are together at your house?" amaze pa nito tanong.

"She’s my Personal Assistant." Chase answered quickly.

Rock nodded slightly.

"Sky said, Nanny?"

Chase smiled and shook his head at the same time saying...

"He's a liar."

"Look at the poster on the door of Sky's office." He pointed.

He looked at the poster affixed to the door. Written: WANTED: NANNY

Chase laughed and rubbed his mouth. Next to it is the office of Nexus and Velvet... There are also WANTED: YAYA posters and various classifications.

"They did that to annoy you. But it was not effective because you were still laughing." Rock smiled.

"They're really crazy."

"Anyway, I'm leaving. I will pick up Gracey and Angela for day-care. We will eat outside."

Chase smiled.

"How is your youngest?"

"Rayja, he is okay... He's still healthy and as handsome as me. He'll be four months this week. Siege, on the other hand, his baby Anastasia is one month old. Next month seems to be baptism. Siege asks you if Gabrielle wants to be a Godmother. It's too much for Ninong(Godfather), but it's a bit lacking for Ninang(Godmother). Please ah?"

"Okay... That Siege is already a Daddy. It seems like a while ago... Like you, you even preceded Siege of having a baby. How is being a Daddy?"

"Be a Daddy, so you know the feeling." Rock's stubborn language.

Chase just laughed and walked away, when he entered his office he immediately made a report about his mission. They even checked the blue print to find out what kind of chemical weapon it was.
