16"You have never been late before! And you know very well that I hate people getting late for work!"Her voice echoes through the room.Victoria yelled at me as soon as I stepped inside her office. It's one of her HATEST attitudes when it comes to her employees. Aside from being the perfectionist mean-ass grumpy boss, she is also very VERY against to being tardy and that was me this morning arriving at 8:45 AM when I was supposed to be here before 7:30 AM.Why I was late?Full story here:Benedict's home was far from my apartment and it was an embarrassment that he had to drive me all the way to my home. He insisted that we have breakfast before we leave and so we did that's why it took more time. When Benedict drove me home, I slept back because it was still 6:30 AM. I wanted to take a thirty-minute nap. But I was so wrong for doing it because when I woke up it was already eight. I didn't hear my alarm clock and I was already fucking late because I overslept. I took a shower and pr

17B E N E D I C TWhat are you even doing here Saintclare?Didn't you have a meeting an hour ago? Weren't you suppose to be there and not here? Why did you have to cancel it just to make a trip on coming over to this low-circulating magazine?This isn't you.But ever since Thea stepped inside my office with her slim body, and small, sweet blushing face, the look of an innocent pale beautiful rose had made me wonder, just briefly, if all her skin even the parts covered by her clothes is as flawless and as pinkish.Damn.I instantly stopped my alarming ungovernable thoughts right away when she walked inside my office that day heading closer to my desk. It was unnecessary because I was at work.What the hell are you thinking Benedict? This lady is way too young for you. I even warned myself about the age gap. I know she's probably twenty years old, five years younger than I do.When she came to the office wearing clothes with massive dirt, a frisson of annoyance runs through my body. I

18T HE AI placed my hand over heart as soon as Benedict stepped out of the elevator and left. For some reason, my heart was beating like crazy. I couldn't deny it, I was so surprised that he asked me out for lunch today and how he said he would always make time for me.C'mon even if I tell myself not to get swooned by him, I couldn't personally stop myself from feeling this way. My heart, my poor poor heart. I hope you are okay. Just hang in there, you'll beat normally again later on.But Benedict's always sending me mixed signals. Firstly, he would say something ridiculously sweet that knocks me off my feet but then right after it, he gives me reasons which is related to work.But then, that's good. It's good that he specifies everything that this is all for work. Him coming over here was for the article's details, him saving my ass from getting fried a while ago by Victoria because of the photo shoot because he wanted to help me out and him having lunch with me later because it's

19BENEDICTI stand out from my car as soon as I saw some employees coming out from the building. I look up to them, finding Thea but she wasn't around. I waited a little bit and saw a few more group of employees by three or four walking out, but no Thea Thibault.I lean against my car and glared at ny wristwatch before placing my hands inside my pocket. It's already 12:05, she didn't forget right? She clearly agreed to it a while ago. Wait, did she already leave and I just didn't notice it? It can't be possible, I have been here since a while ago. I didn't see her come out of tbe building."Mr. Saintcare?"I quickly pulled my head up only to find a group of three girls standing right around me, giggling. They were surrounding me but they weren't who I came here for. I would gladly like for them to leave but then I would be un-gentleman if I push them away. I study them, they had I.D's imprinted with the name Lure Mag on it hanging around their neck."Oh my god, it's really you." The

20BENEDICTI stare at him eagerly, he wore a white dress shirt, khaki pants and brown leather shoes. Some parts of his hair were white, and he was a very tall man and still looked fit, I think he works out a lot since his sleeves were too tight around that bulging biceps and he was probably in his early fifties. He was old, it wasn't too hard to tell. He tentatively looks at me then back at Thea but he was more focused on looking at her.But I didn't get it when he called Thea, Violet."It's you! I am not mistaken. It is you." He laughs, like he found a long lost jewel.Thea slowly pulled her head up to him and answered, "I think you have the wrong person."The old man shakes his head vigorously. "No. No. No. For God's sake I know exactly what you look like. I still remember your face so well, you were the most beautiful among the pact."What the hell is he talking about?"You were my idol. Everyone's idol." He adds while smiling at her. He is obviously hungry for Thea. This dirty ol

21THEAIt was already Friday and Kylie dragged me for shopping right after I got off from work. She said that she wanted me to look good tomorrow for Benedict's photo shoot since she said he called in specially for me. I was still busy looking for what to wear tomorrow and fitting everything that Kylie throws at me.Tomorrow, saturday, Benedict's photo shoot. Everything has all been set, even down to what he was going to wear and since that scene that he pulled off, my co-workers think I'm Benedict's new fuck buddy. Too bad I don't dream of becoming one though.Laura has been so cold to me too and kept giving me death stares from far away or when she looks at me over her desk. I've just recently heard that's why she was so pissed at me it's aside from having a huge crush on Benedict, she was also one of those employees who weren't too lucky to get a personal interview with him.Well now that I think about it, she's just a jealous slut in front of Benedict's eyes."Will you hurry up w

22 I don't believe what I'm seeing because his hair was really short. But fuck he's handsome as hell.I don't want to believe it that he cut it too short because I know he loves his long hair too much and he said so himself he's too lazy to pay the barbershop a visit. But he's here sporting his new hair for our magazine. It was so short compared to his shoulder length hair and I must say I loved it the second I saw him walking out of the tent. Maybe it was some wig but I knew for a fact it was real with the way the wind blows through it. The sides were short while the top of it was long.But damn it looked so great on him. It made even more handsome. I couldn't believe that he would get any more good looking.He wore a darkish denim top with a brown jacket over it and a maroon scarf wrapped around his neck inserted between his denim top. He had some black tight pants on and some black combat boots. It was a new look from Benedict and I was deeply surprised by the sudden change. Every

23"Thanks for everything today Mr. Saintclare and for the lunch." Quinn waves goodbye."It was an honor to have worked with you." Raul shakes Benedict's hand before he goes inside his car.It was a fun lunch together with the crew and most especially with Benedict. He was so laidback and cool, another side of him that surprised me. I didn't expect him to stay longer than he probably should. We have finished with the eating, fun and talking around quarter three o'clock, and though it has been a long day for all of us, it was a success anyways.Benedict paid for all of the grilled foods and drinks the men ordered. Everyone, including me, was super thankful to him. Of course the crew took advantage of it because Benedict was paying for everything and it was their first time to be treated out by him.When everyone had got inside their own cars and left the building, I realized that I was left with Benedict. I turn myself around to face him and he had stared at everyone who had left us."
