GESUCHT: Kindermädchen, das es mit einem unglaublich mürrischen irischen Milliardär aushält.

I lie down for just a second…. The next thing I see is the chiseled and extremely grumpy face of my billionaire client, Theo Barnes, looking down at me. If I’m Goldilocks, he has all the grouchiness of three bears. I was overworked and overstressed, juggling photographing his fleet of yachts with my other projects. Add in a super comfy bed on one of his yachts, and I’m out. Now I’m about to be fired.

Si je suis Boucle d’Or, alors lui est aussi mal léché que trois ours réunis. J’étais surmenée. Je devais jongler entre photographier ses yachts et travailler sur mes autres projets. Ajoutez-y un lit moelleux sur l’un de ses yachts, et vous m’avez perdue. Je pensais être sur le point d’être licenciée. Sauf que nous sommes au beau milieu de l’océan, et qu’il me regarde comme si j’étais la pièce manquante du puzzle.

Ne vous inquiétez pas, il va bien, il a de bons réflexes. N’empêche, il a fait irruption dans ma chambre — prétendant que c’était la sienne — et refusait d’en sortir. J’ai fait pareil.
