When You Wake Up To The Fact You Are Hired Help

I was recruited to work for a Trust Co. My first assignment was to be the 'advisor' for a young 22 year old baby. She was in the moment, spent what she wanted, was a party girl, lived in a very nice, very expensive condo with views of the river. In her life she had never held a toilet brush. She had a live in nanny, a girl who picked up after her, cooked and cleaned. My first contact with the ultra rich.

Little by little I learned that her nanny put her to bed, tucked her in. She had a degree from Brown, and had good grades. She trusted no one but her nanny. And her nanny was 22 as well. The more I knew her I suspected that she had never had a relationship with a guy. She and her nanny were in a codependency relationship, not that it was any of my business.

As her 'advisor' I had to balance her wants and her Trust Fund documents. Basically my job was to police the Trust Fund. If the Trust Fund allowed the distribution, it was not for me to question how she spent the money. The problem was I was overwhelmed by her. A crush, it was far more than that. I didn't mind at all her nanny's involvement, someone had to tie her shoes. I didn't really want sex. I just knew I needed her in my life.

I became over protective, I interfered in her life. I even went so far as telling her I loved her. She sat and listened, and would ask me 'is this my money?'. It was, I had to give it to her. She invited me to her 23rd birthday party. Women only. She had a luncheon at a very expensive restaurant, she introduced me as the most important person in her life. I held the key to her money. But she had eyes for her nanny. It was obvious to me, I was the hired help, her nanny was her lover.
