Grooming Our Love CHAPTER 57: FRAGILE HEARTS
NATASHAGazing at the plane ticket in my hand, while the other holds Thalia's calling card, I pondered. Should I go?One call, and I'm out of this misery.Wiping my tears, I took a deep breath and released it slowly and shakily.After Michael left, I sensed that something was about to happen.Night fell, and I was engulfed in my tears.Michael's loyalty seemed to falter. All I wanted was to weigh my choices. Is he implying that I should leave?It's been three days, and he hasn't shown up. I can only catch glimpses of him in the articles released, connected to his... scandal with a model. A more attractive woman, a woman superior to me in every aspect.My heart clenched as I watched the video.I should have realized. He was never really the type to take someone seriously."I thought I understood the true meaning of love the way you taught me," I murmured to myself, pushing myself up to head downstairs, grabbing my purse.Laura, I owe her big time. She and Richie will assist me in leavi
Grooming Our Love CHAPTER 58: GOODBYE... FOR NOW
MICHAELWatching her leave was the most painful sight I've ever witnessed in my life, nothing more.It was her decision.This is the freedom I want to grant her.She was suffocated by the constraints of her youth, confined, dictated, a mere puppet. Just like me.But why does giving what she yearned for hurt like this?"Fuck!" I yelled, hurling everything within reach, and ended up creating a whole mess in the living room.Broken vases littered the floor, glass shards scattered everywhere, and then there's me, I sat in the corner, consumed by regret."Fuck," I sobbed.Head bowed, I clenched it, wishing I could slam it against the wall until I bled and die.But no, there are matters to address first.I must gather my wits. I must compose myself. I must win her back.Yes, I admit, failed to earn her love. But once I fixinh this fucked up mess, I'll have her back and never let her slip away."You look fucked up," a familiar voice halted me.The atmosphere grew tense as I detected three dis
Grooming Our Love CHAPTER 59: GOLD BAND
NATASHATwo years had gone by like a painful blur that walked by in my life. Things were difficult to accept at the beginning, but I eventually started learning how to survive with it.My father, Quintus, before I left Hampton, he told me things that I brought with me when I flew to London. I didn't have my chance to learn more from him, but I know we will see each other again.The process was painful. It was so hard to adjust, but here I am, made it so far."Hey, Tasha, right?" Someone spoke, serving the piece of cake and smoothie I ordered. "Remember me?"When I turned, I found a guy whom I could find a bit of resemblance to a cat. He's offering me his gummy smile as he hugs the circular tray.I can remember that face, who wouldn't? He's that one famous basketball captain of the University. Youthful and rich, tall and handsome. He's not a typical Asian, he's very... majestic.He knows his style, knows his vibe. And very popular with girls."Ricky," I uttered his name that made his s
Grooming Our Love CHAPTER 60: DESIGNING FATE
MICHAELMy eyes shifted to the person who dropped a folder on my desk and were met by his suspicious glare."There's the file you're asking for," Aaron uttered bitterly as he crossed his arms, feet apart, standing in front of me like a bully soldier. "Can I at least hear a payment of gratitude? I flew ten thousand miles just to deliver that to you since you wanted it 'personally'.""Thank you," I monotonously replied what he wants to hear and took the file, depositing it inside the last drawer."That's very kind of you," he probably ate sarcasm for lunch. "So, from what I see, you look all positive and bright aside from your rude behavior. I'm assuming you got what you wanted."And he's assuming right.A triumphant grin spread across my face that I can't stifle."Let's just say that she's intrigued," I replied, obviously showing him the gold ring I'm wearing on my finger."You're a jerk," he chuckled and dragged his bottom to sit on the chair adjacent to me. "How did she react when sh
Grooming Our Love CHAPTER 61: THE BOSS
NATASHA"Really? At the first interview?" Ricky exclaimed with his cheerful voice. "Wow, that was amazing."Only if he knew.Michael Montero, he's going to be my boss. What has gone through my mind and signed the contract that fast?I should've thought it through. But it was too late to regret it. I'm going to have to endure the next days being his slave, or in a formal manner of working, his secretary."The interview went well," I replied and took a spoonful of cake."So..." he sang. "Are you considering this as your goodbye to me because you're going to be busy for the rest of the years or this is you being a nice friend to me?""Maybe both?" I replied that sparked a bit of hope in his eyes.He was about to say something when a car parked by the window with its headlights on."Holy shit!" He exclaimed like a fanboy and leaned close to the table. "Do you see that man?" He asked me.I followed his gaze and I stiffened in my place as I saw a familiar face hopping out of his car like a
Grooming Our Love CHAPTER 62: KING AGAINST PAWNS
MICHAELMy fingers played with my bottom lip as I watched Natasha step out of the fitting room, smoothing her shirt with her hands.I expected her confusion when we arrived at the boutique. I thought she would ask many questions and start chattering away, but instead, she obediently followed my every order like a speechless robot.She stood there just a few feet away from me, resembling a statue after trying on the gown.Apart from spelling boredom, her face was like a book written in a language I couldn't decipher.I initiated a game, but she seemed like a pro countering my amateur attack.Fuck, should I be more cautious, or perhaps not?Both of her hands were clasped behind her, shooting me a fiery side glance.After the morning interview, she must have stayed outside. She still wore the same suit, but her hair was tied in a high ponytail, and her face was free of makeup.The way she stood highlighted the curves of her body, making them more pronounced.Her chest appeared fuller, an
Grooming Our Love CHAPTER 63: QUESTIONS
NATASHA"What an gentleman," I scoffed and shook my head as I remembered how Michael left abruptly and drove off last night.How could he?Was it because he's already married?He's married. That's a fact. Why am I even hoping that he would still look at me the same way he used to?A lot of things changed, indeed, including him.Ricky had the mouth to chatter about everything he knows about Michael, and I listened to every word, even though I am fully aware of everything that happened in his life, aside from his marital status.The media never mentioned anything about his marriage. His "wife" was never seen with him. The only thing everyone knows is that he's been wearing that gold ring since last year.Is that girl lucky or not?"Give me coffee, now." Addressing me by my name as the day being his secretary started, and I began suffering under his orders.Pushing myself off the chair, I headed to the bar just a few steps away from his office and ordered what he usually takes.Espresso
Grooming Our Love CHAPTER 64: I NEED YOU
NATASHAFirst five days of working for Michael, and I feel like my hair is turning white. The jerk seems to forget that he's got a company to run."Tasha, Mr. Montero has to sign this. This is part of the upcoming event this week. Is he there?""Tasha, the advertising department is asking for the layout Sir Montero approved last week.""Tasha, has Sir Montero approved Mr. McLiam's lot transfer? He's asking for a copy of the print.""Tasha, did Sir Montero comment about the presentation from the marketing department? Did he have any negative thoughts about it?""Tasha, here's the report from accounting. Is Sir Montero present? I heard from our manager that the deadline is coming by the end of the month. The report should have an approval from the boss.""Tasha, any news about the payroll? The salary distribution starts by the second week of the month. Were there any changes in the schedule? We weren't informed."Tasha here, Tasha there...Five heads of their department came at once to
