We immediately left when I came back from the restroom. He never asked again about what he asked me a while ago, thanks, God. We didn’t even talk while we were in the car back with the company.
When we came to the company, I again focused on what I still needed to know. I needed to review all the rules as his temporary secretary.
Oh my! The amount I have to study. My head is hurting. Why should I suffer here? Of all others out there who are better, why is it me? I am satisfied with my position in the accounting department. I already know all the work there, not like here that I still have to adjust for my daily routine.
Because I was busy I didn't know what time it was. I'm focused on what I'm doing.
"Hep!" I immediately looked up at the one who startled me. "Maybe you'll get rich suddenly!"
I was shocked because I didn’t notice Gee appearing in front of me. “Gee, again. Wh
I would have left his office because being with him in his office made me feel uncomfortable. Most especially the way he glanced at me. It was always giving me damn feelings.I even overcame running non-stop along the highway. If I could just snatch out of his eyes, I would have done."Excuse me, Sir," I said goodbye to him, turning away."Wait, Miss Cordova," he said firmly, stopping me from coming out."Do you have anything else to order?" I turned around again but I wasn't glancing at his eyes.“Nothing. Don't leave first. Come here and join me with this coffee,” he said, still looking straight at me.I don't want that, the heat of the weather, to add even more the warmth of his gaze.“B-but, Sir, I still have work to do and finish my work. I just can’t join you,” I reasoned, even though it was true, I wasn’t really doing anything importan
[Brad POV]"Hey, dude, are you with me?" I turned to Albert. "I'm talking to you, but you're not listening, where's your mind floating right now?"“Yes. What is it again?” I asked because he was right, I was not paying attention.“Oh. I think someone is bothering you,” he said while shaking and smiling.“Just don’t mind my silence. Anyway, what are you doing here? Do you need anything?” I said while getting my paperwork on the table.“See, you're not listening. What are you thinking?”"Nothing." I looked up at him.“Okay. If not, then let me guess who is bothering you at this point.” He even put his index finger to the edge of his lips and thought.“Guess who?” I turned my attention back to what was being done.“I think I already know. Is it her?”I frowned and looked at him aga
[Charmane POV]"Miss Cordova."I was surprised when someone called me. Suddenly my sleepy spirit woke up. I turned around and answered alertly."Y-yes, sir?""Have you finished the papers I need today for the meeting?" he asked in a serious voice.“Yes, sir. It's done.” I stood up and was about to give it to him. But he suddenly turned away. "Sir, wait… Here are those documents—"“Bring that to my office now. And please with a cup of coffee.” I was handed it to him, but he did not even take it.Ugh! He’s really annoying! About the kiss yesterday, I swear it will not happen again. It has no malice. Act normal, Charmane, I still whispered to myself while brewing a coffee.I calmed myself for a while before entering his office. "Here's your coffee and the documents that you needed, Sir." When I put down the coffee and th
As a result of my contemplation, I did not notice that I had reached the elegant subdivision that I am looking for. I read the big name of the subdivision.'Castillo De Amore.' Wow, it’s a Spanish phrase, huh. Nice one.As far as I can see the outside of the subdivision, is really affluent. It's so beautiful, to think that I'm just outside. What if I'm already inside? I guess the houses there are mansions.Since the place is exclusive, of course, their security is strict. The numerous security teams scattered outside and inside the gate. Usually, in other subdivisions, there are only has two or three guards at the entrance.“Good evening, Ma’am. Where are you going?" the guard asked me."Ferrer residence," I replied.He took a logbook from the guardhouse, then returned. "Can I have your name and ID, Ma'am?" he asked politely.
[Charmane POV]“H-hi. Good evening, ”I greeted them while my eyes were set only on my boss. But I immediately withdrew because I was really confused. I feel like ice cream that melts the way he stared."Oh, hi, lady, good evening," his companion greeted.“Ahm, by the way, this is Charmane. Charm, this is Greg Ferrer, the owner of this house.”Oh, he is Greg? The luck of the girlfriend to this person."Nice meeting you, Charmane." Mr. Ferrer extended his hand and I accepted it even though it was awkward.“Same here, Mr. Ferrer. ”“It would be nice if you just call me. Well, you’re really beautiful and you’re perfect for each— ” He couldn’t say what to say next because the person next to him kicked him gently.I felt awkward. I feel like both my cheeks are red. What could that Albert have said here to this Greg?
[Brad POV]I had been looking for Charmane everywhere but I don’t know where to find her. Bea took her because they were just going to talk for a while. But it had been ten minutes since they left. Earlier I was still almost winding all around. so, I decided to go back to our table, only to find out that she was already there with Albert and Amanda.I smiled as I walked in their direction. They did not notice me because they were busy chatting.“Hey, guys. I think I can hear my name in your conversation.” the two looked at me. "Did you two tell her something about me?" I saw Charmane’s pale face. She froze when she heard my voice.“Oh, dude. We built you a good image to Charm,” the two replied.I just shook my head and smiled. “Good. You, where have you been? I've been looking for you a while ago. And where is Bea?” I asked Charmane.“Bea an
“Look, I don't care if she's your girlfriend or not! Because in the first place, I know where's my place is.”"She's not my girl," Brad repeated.I turned to him and then smiled wryly. I looked at his eyes down to his soft lips. I raised my fingers to touch it. I didn’t know where did I get my strength to do that. It was just as if my hand just had the brain to do that."Why so defensive, huh?" I looked at his eyes again while my fingers were still touching his lower lip. "There is no us, right?"He swallowed while staring into my eyes. With the scent of his breath, it was as if I was really losing myself and my knees were weakening as well. Is this what they are saying that when you get drunk you dare to do what you can't do when you are sane?
I woke up to the noise of my cellphone place on the side table of my bed. I was lazy to hand it over.Bradley's calling…It was him again. He was still calling last night but I didn't answer. As for his texts, I don’t read either. I just informed him I was home. it's up to him whether he gets angry or not.I would have answered when it suddenly stopped ringing. I have just opened his messages to me since last night.I smiled as I read them. It was obvious that he was angry with my escape. I also read texts from Bea. She was also worried about my exit. All she knew was that Brad and I were going home together. I texted Bea first before getting up.I immediately went to my son's room. It was the weekend and it's our day to spend time together.“Mommy…&rdq
Special ChapterThinking Out Loud“Mommy, mommy. Wake up.”"Hmm"“Mommy...”"Yes..." I moaned.“Mom. I said, wake up. ” That voice was Sam.I opened my eyes a little and Sam was there and woke me up. I was even surprised because he was so dressed as if they had to attend.I looked at the watch on my arm. It was already five-thirty PM. I was really tired after we swam earlier which ended up in hot intercourse with my husband.I stood up and stretched my body. I even smiled because he dressed me in his clothes and cycling."Sam, where's your dad and sister?" I ask my son.“They’re outside the cotta
Two years later“Da da… da da ddy…”“Come again, baby? Let Daddy hear it again. Say, Da ddy...”“Da… daa… ddy…” Then our baby giggled."Oh, very good, Princess." Brad gladly kissed her rosy cheeks.I warmly grinned while watching my husband and our princess currently by the sea and sitting on the white sand. I was just nearby and staring at the two of them. My husband didn't notice me because he was busy teaching Princess basic words.Brad and I are next children is a baby girl. It's wish granted that for him and our eldest.

After the intercession of Brad’s family, the wedding was set immediately. We would have two months to prepare for it.Brad and I no longer had trouble walking errands because the Hernandez clan did almost everything so the preparation for our big wedding was easier."Daughter."I turned to the open door and smiled. "Mom." I opened my arms for a hug.She approached with a smile on her face. "Are you ready, Honey?"I nodded. "Yes, Mom."Lulu, my makeup artist, and hairstylist excuse us first because he had to finish fixing my hair and makeup.The hired photographer also excuse us when he finished taking pictures of Mommy and me. He went to the other room, where my sister and her family are located."You look so very beautiful and gorgeous in your wedding gown, honey." Mommy stared at my whole b
"Son, just spend the night here," Brad's father said when we finished dinner and was now in the living room talking about Sam."If I were the only one to be asked, I'd like that too, Dad. That's why my wife might not want to, ”Brad replied.My wife?“Charm, please. Be here for at least one night, please?” Brad's mom, please.“Of course, Charm. We still want to bond with this cute nephew of mine for longer. Please, Sister. Even just tonight. Please?” as well as Brad's sister complied with his parents' request.“Yes, Cha. Only for tonight.” The head of the family again.I looked at him. I still can’t believe the circumstances. After we talked earlier in the library, everything immediately went okay. he asked for forgiveness
"Boss, do we still have to do this?" I asked Brad nervously. Today he will introduce our son to his parents.“Yeah! I have to do this, boss.” He held my trembling hand."Mommy, Daddy, where are we going?" Sam asked."We're going to meet my family, son," Brad answered.“Really, Daddy? So, I have another Grandma and Grandpa? ” Sam asked cheerfully."Yes, baby, and another aunt too." Brad even stroked our son's reddened cheek.“Yey! I’m excited to meet them…” Sam said happily.Brad glanced at me smiling. I am happy and my father and I are happy. But I, nervous about what will happen.I still can't forget the day Brad's dad went to the office and we talked, including when I tore the check with a large
“Charmane is right, Auntie. She has a very nice, loving, and caring family.”“Thank you, sweetie. By the way, where’s your family?” Mommy asked Bea.“I only have my dad, Auntie, and he’s always busy with our business. My mother died when I was young.”"Oh… I'm sorry to hear that, sweetie."“No, it’s okay. I’m happy right now because I will also build my own family with my fiancé.” Bea even rubbed Greg's arm.“We’re happy to hear that, Bea. I wish you and Greg will build a strong and happy family, like ours,” Sab said. “You know, it's fun to be a housewife. Look, you will experience that when the day comes,”“Really, Sab? You know, I'm
I suddenly woke up to the cry of a baby and when I looked out the window it was getting late.Oh, gosh. I think I slept too much. I didn't even think my family was here.I rinsed first, combed my hair. I also fix my face before leaving my room.When I stepped into the living room, they automatically looked at me. I frowned when suddenly the surroundings became quiet and Baby Gabby also became quiet with howling."Mommy," my daughter called enthusiastically. I turned to him I was suddenly swallowed and nervous. “Daddy is here, Mommy…”I suddenly turned pale as I slowly stepped in my son’s direction. “W-what are you doing here?”Brad just looked at me as if no one had heard.“Daddy visit me, Mommy. He misses me.” Sam answered my question.
I smiled when I saw my family and Sam talking and laughing together. My heart rejoices. I feel like they warmly accepted Sam, they immediately loved my son. Who wouldn't be comforted by Sam's ingenuity and eloquence?Mommy and Daddy are now taking care of Sam personally. They said they will take advantage of the fact that they have not seen it for several years and have not even been with it."Mom, Dad." They turned me and Sam. "What do you want to eat for lunch?" I asked so l could prepare lunch first."Let's order, baby, so you won't get tired of cooking. And please, Filipino dishes, my daughter." Mommy answered."Yeah, Filipino dishes. I also want to taste it again, honey, "Daddy said.I smiled. "Okay. how about you, Sam, and Gaston, what do you want to eat for lunch?""Anything, Mommy," Sam replied
