landscaping engineer. Mr. Cowin this is Ms. Kenzi Evans, she may be our new nanny if Mr. Mortimer agrees,” Patsy said as she lit a cigarette in a long white holder.
At that moment Mr. Mortimer walked out on the patio. He barely glanced at Shawn but did a double take when he saw Kenzi.
“If she’s the new nanny applicant she’s hired,” Mr. Mortimer said as he leered at her.
Kenzi smiled cheerfully but was thinking What have I gotten Shawn and myself into? Neither of them care who they sleep with as long as it’s not each other.
Molly just stared at Kenzi and Shawn with a somewhat happier look on her face.
Chapter 3
Mr. and Mrs. Mortimer went back in the house after deciding to hire Kenzi as their nanny. Apparently Kenzi and Shawn had given each of them something to think about if Kenzi correctly to judged the looks they’d been giving each other.
Shawn came over and said, ”Hi, I’m Shawn Corwin. Mrs. Mortimer said your name was Kenzi Evans. How do you do?”
Kenzi shook his hand and took the palmed earpiece and tooth-microphone that he gave her. Kenzi smiled and surprised herself by saying, “I’m surprised Mrs. Mortimer, Patsy, even realized Molly and I were there. It looked like she lost something very important that you were helping her to find.”
Shawn’s face flushed but he just smiled and turned to meet Molly.
“Hi there. You must be Molly I’m Shawn. If you ever want us to put on the sprinklers so you can play, you let me know, okay?”
Molly nodded and reached out for Kenzi’s hand. Obviously, she was afraid of strange men, which more than likely meant a man had kidnapped her.
“I think Shawn is a nice guy, don’t you Molly? I’ll bet he could help you build a tree house. Couldn’t you, Shawn?” Kenzi asked trying to draw out more of a response in the child.
“I bet I could do that. All you have to do is ask and I’ll do anything I can for you. Okay, Molly?” Shawn asked as he crouched down to talk to her.
Molly nodded and smiled up at Shawn. He looked like a nice man and if Miss Kenzi could trust him, she would too.
“Why don’t we go get permission to explore the grounds a little bit, huh, Molly?” Kenzi asked pulling Molly to her feet.
Her ear was only in whisper range for a few seconds but Kenzi could hear Shawn say, “Get the earpiece and mike in ASAP.”
Kenzi nodded and walked off the patio with Molly, leaving Shawn to be directed to his quarters by the butler. She’d seen a horse stable about a half-mile from the house, and decided that she would ask if she could take Molly riding.
“Mrs. Mortimer would like that. They’ve been trying to get her on a horse for a long time but she just never seemed interested. You do know how to ride, don’t you?” asked Helen, the housekeeper.
“Yes, I was professionally trained. If Molly won’t ride her own mount, I’ll let her ride with me. Would you like that?” Kenzi asked looking down at Molly.
Molly nodded with enthusiasm and was almost jumping from one foot to another with excitement.
“That’s the most excitement I’ve seen out of her since I started working here,” nodded Helen.
“You haven’t been here long?” Kenzi asked appearing not to be paying attention but was actually listening to every word.
“Oh, heavens no. The Mortimer’s haven’t lived here more than a few months out of the year. The entire staff was hired 'bout six months ago when they decided to come back. The missus wants to be a writer, and Mr. Mortimer can work anywhere.”
Kenzi nodded and then asked, “Are you sure they won’t mind me taking her riding? I don’t wish to disturb them but I don’t want to take Molly riding without their permission.”
Mrs. Mortimer strolled in at that moment, “Our permission for what, Ms. Evans?”
“I wanted to take Molly riding. I’m professionally trained and I understand if you don’t wish her to ride but I thought if she rode with me instead of on
