🏵 CHAPTER 15 🏵 THE NEXT MORNING Lena can be seen running inside the airport. She glanced at her watch and heaved seeing she still has six minutes left. Lena had explained everything thing to the quadruplets and the little kids understood. They even supported for her to go. This was the first time leaving the kids and flying out of the country but she knew she would gain by going to this business trip and of course, she won't be getting fired. The short woman got to the private plane and entered only to see the cold man already present. Oh, she forgot. This boss of hers was an early freak. His type of person would come to an event even way before the person who hosted the event arrives so far it has to do with business. " Good morning, Sir " Denzel barely looked up at her. " Grab a seat, Mrs. Estrella " Was all he said and Lena complied. A document was handed over to her. " Go through the proposal. Point out any mistakes that need to be corrected before we get to
🏵 CHAPTER 16 🏵 " If I touch you, Lena... I swear you won't be able to walk tomorrow " Lena was snapped back to her senses and her eyes snapped open immediately. Seeing as Denzel's eyes were filled with nothing but lust, she almost choked. A hot blush stained her cheeks and she closed her eyes in embarrassment. Denzel saw that and scoffed. " Go take your bath, Lena " The cold man crawled off the bed. Lena, without hesitation, sprang off the bed and rushed to the bathroom, locking the door and resting on it. The short woman closed her and let out a heave, her heart hammering hard against her chest. Remembering what happened, another hot blush crept into her cheeks. " What are you doing, Lena? " She slapped herself, nodding negatively. " Calm down, Lena, calm down. Why are you suddenly so excited? " She breathed out, trying to calm her racing heart. All that popped into her mind was Denzel's bare chest and the short woman blushed yet again. If not that she was snapped back to r
🏵️ CHAPTER 17 🏵️ Lena was stranded and had sought help from a bike she saw driving toward her but she regretted it immediately. She had run into two men who wanted to sexually assault her. The short woman ran for her dear life and bumped into someone. And when she was about to fall, the person reached out and pulled her to himself, wrapping his arm around her in a protective manner. Lena looked up immediately only to see none other than Denzel. Unexplainable happiness went down her and she immediately wrapped her hands around him in a tight hug. " Boss " The short woman broke down in tears immediately. Denzel finally let out a sigh of relief. The cold man has been looking for Lena since morning. He had even sent his men to help look for her. He wanted to stay back but his heart didn't let me breath in peace. It kept bugging him and skipping slightly in fear. The cold man was worried. Worried that something bad must have happened to Lena. And now that he finally found her, he wa
🏵️ CHAPTER 18 🏵️ " There is a snake beneath your feet! " Lena dropped the bomb and Denzel's eyes widened in horror as he felt something crawl up his feet. " Ss...sn... snake? " The cold man could feel his heart thump hard against his chest in fear. A certain dryness went down his throat and he gulped, hard. " Don't move, Boss. If you stay like a statue it will think you're part of the tree and just crawl past you " The cold man shot Lena a hard glare. How can she expect him to stay just like a statue when there's a hideous monster crawling up his body? What if it crawls around his neck and attacks him? " Believe me, it won't attack if you just stay still. You can do it, Boss. A mere tiny winy snake compared to you is nothing, right? You can just throw it off you like it's nothing " The short woman was trying to praise him. " Tiny winy?! " Denzel scowled at her. " You think it's a mere snake, huh? Why don't you climb over here and let it crawl past your body instead? How do y
🏵 CHAPTER 19 🏵 Denzel watched Lena enjoying herself under the rain, and the cold man couldn't help but smile. But he immediately covered it up. While the short woman was still running around like he kid, he reached out and pulled her to himself immediately. Lena was startled as she bumped into his strong chest and she looked up. Their gaze locked and his hand went down to her waist and held it firmly. Lena's pupils dilated greatly as they stared into Denzel's eyes. It was as if her brain was paused for a moment and all Lena could hear was the loud thumping of her heart. It was beating so wild that the short woman thought it was going to burst out soon. Denzel's eyes on the other hand went down to Lena's lips. The wet pouted and red lips tempted the cold man and all he wanted to do was have a taste of it. He held her chin and tilted it up for her to stare him dead in the eye. He leaned forward and Lena immediately shut her eyes close, anticipating the kiss. Denzel saw that and smi
🏵 CHAPTER 20 🏵 The chirping of the birds and squeaking of squirrels were the first thing that hit Lena's ears and she slowly opened her eyes. The short woman looked up and was surprised to see her hands wrapped around Denzel who was still sleeping. How did she get there? She doesn't know but that didn't matter to her. She doesn't even know why she liked the fact that she was this close to Denzel. It gave her a nearer and clearer view of his breathtaking face. Lena examined Denzel's face and didn't even realize when she blushed. Why was this boss of hers this handsome? Is he aware he might become a temptation to her? She reached out and ran a finger down his sharp nose and smiled sheepishly. Her eyes came down to his tempting lips but she quickly looked away. She placed her hands on his chest and squeezed them through his chest. Another hot blush stained her cheeks as her mind wandered back to the clear picture of his bare upper body. This boss of hers was hot! All she wanted
🏵 CHAPTER 21 🏵 " Ava!!!! " Lena yelled in intense shock, glaring at the little girl before her. Her hand was raised like she wanted to hit her but Mrs. Amelia was the one who held it. Lena looked at her and the old woman signaled her not to. Ava was already crying uncontrollably. Ryan, Aida, and Evans couldn't help but cried too. They hate it whenever Ava and Lena got into an argument. And seeing their little sister cry wasn't something they liked either. " I hate you, Mommy! " Little Ava snapped and ran upstairs, leaving everyone dumbfounded. Lena was shocked to the bones. The tears she has been trying to hold back finally rolled down. She turned and look at her other kids who were staring at her with eyes filled with tears. She slowly wiped her tears and let out a deep sigh before squatting back to their level. " I know you all are angry with Mommy for not keeping her promises. But Mommy had no other choice. It wasn't because of work. I love you all and can never choose work
🏵 CHAPTER 22 🏵 It was a cool Sunday morning and Denzel was at home, in his office, going through and sorting out a pile of documents. Being a workaholic, the cold man doesn't know what taking a day off is. Even on weekends, he is in his office working. To him, taking some days off, are for losers. The ringing of his phone shifted his attention. But seeing who the caller was the cold man let out a slight groan. " Hello, Mom " " Young man! Is that how you speak to your mother, huh?! " A voice boomed, making the cold man shift the phone away from his ear. " What is it, Mom? " " You brat! I can see you've grown wings, haven't you? You can't even greet your mother and ask how she's fairing. Show respect, you brat, before I wack some sense into you " Denzel rolled his eyes at the woman's ranting. She's always like that. Calling him on the phone once in every Blue Moon, ranting about him being disrespectful, then, " I have a lot of work to do, Mom. Just tell me why you called a
