MY EX-BOSS, MY LOVER Chapter 15
Chris began to feel more uneasy but he kept a nervous-free face. “How would I know who lives there?” “Stop fooling me.” Gail stared at him with such prying eyes. “You guys were supposed to be on this floor the last time I saw you and Ken here. I even waited for you to return because I thought you would only be gone for a few minutes as you said you forgot something. But you no longer returned when you looked so prepared to come here with all those grocery bags.” “So?” he replied, unbothered. “So what I’m trying to say is that you and Ken for sure are hiding someone in that unit.” “Oh?” He plastered an amused expression. “I didn’t know you’re such a good story writer.”Gail laughed at him like an annoying villain. “Look who’s dodging bullets here. Let me remind you that there are only two units on this floor. One is mine and the other is that unit right in front of us now where you’re supposed to visit last time.” “Fine.” Chris already felt the need to do something to stop Gail fro

“I’m so thankful we met again!” Yenny felt so happy and relieved she already forgot Serin had just experienced danger. “How have you been?”“Let’s sit first.” Serin took her to the nearest bench, as they sat, she reassured Yenny with a gentle smile. “I’ve been doing good.”It had already been more than a month since Serin left Jeremy’s place, and all she had ever done was survive on her own. At first, it was terribly hard, for she had to brave a week of roofless nights. But as she had saved up from working almost 24/7, she finally got a tiny rooftop space in one of the cheapest apartments in the area. To continuously survive, she had kept herself busy, working multiple jobs. Cleaning houses, nursing toddlers, serving at cafes, and diners, watching over neighborhood shops, running errands for her neighbors and more. However, despite having a lot of part-time jobs, she still wanted to get a stable job that would pay her decently so she could save enough to register her identity legally

Serin would have felt happy if what Yenny just said was what she believed. Sad to say, no. “I’m sure I’m the least person Sir Jeremy would want to see again,” she said dejectedly. “It’s still clear to her how her mysterious identity had tormented Jeremy, and because of that, he decided to let her go.”That’s not the reason why, Yenny just sighed in response because it’s better that the whole truth would come from Jeremy himself. “There must be a deeper reason why he chose to let you go.” And that’s to give Serin peace because he believed that Gail wouldn’t stop hurting her out of jealousy and bitterness towards her. “To be honest with you, after knowing what Sir Jeremy has been going through, I become willing to look after his older brother. I wouldn’t mind the danger nor the stress the job awaits me, not for the good salary but for Sir Jeremy. Like you, I do want to help him no matter what. But what worries me a lot is the fact that he already let me go. And that means he never wants

“Good morning, sir,” greets a smiling female receptionist at the front desk. “How may I help you?” “Good morning. I’d like to ask if there’s an available unit here.” Jeremy hopes there is. That’s how determined he is to possibly run into Yenny anywhere in this neighborhood. But again, luck is not on his side. “I am very sorry to inform you that all the units in this condo are already occupied, sir.” “I see. Thank you.” Jeremy excuses himself and walks to the lounge area in the lobby, sighing heavily. If it’s not against the privacy regulations to ask for all the tenants’ information at the reception desk, he would have already done it. But he’s not losing hope. The neighborhood where he is in right now is small, and it means a big possibility to see Yenny. Though he respects her decision to hide for whatever reason , he still needs to talk to her and reassure her himself that she shouldn’t worry at all, especially for him.“Jeremy?” calls someone from behind, surprised and deligh

“No.” Jeremy stares at Gail, in disbelief that he has wasted his time listening to her. “Chris and Ken would never lie to me nor deceive me. I trust them.” Besides, he believes that if his two best friends already found out the horrible truth about his mom’s death, they wouldn’t have been quiet about it. He’s confident that they would never let Dave get away with it. “You’re in denial, Jeremy. You can’t–”He cuts her off as he continues walking. But Gail walks beside him, still persistent. “I’m sure you feel shit now because your two best friends have done something you had never imagined they could do.”“I feel terrible for believing you for a moment when I know for sure that you like making up stories.”Gail sighs heavily, keeping up with Jeremy. “Why don’t you call Chris and Ken and ask them yourself if what I said is–”“Hey, bro!” someone suddenly calls from a distance. Jeremy leaves Gail in a rush and meets Bren. He’s Ken’s cousin who grew up with them in Horizon Town. It was

“Sure,” Chris answers without hesitation. “Do that and lose Jeremy forever.”That’s it, the magic word. Jeremy. Gail falls into silence, for losing Jeremy is so painful she can’t even imagine it. She clears her throat. “Why would I lose him when I’m only helping him find Yenny?” “For goodness’ sake, she’s not missing and we’re not hiding her.” Chris sighs, part of his strategy to make Gail think he’s frustrated enough to convince her he’s really telling the truth. “Listen, Gail. Even though you have become annoying as hell, the thought of you and Jeremy completely drifting apart saddens me. I don’t want that to happen, that’s why I’m still talking to you when I could have easily ended this call.” A moment of silence. Gail admits she’s moved. She thought Chris was no longer concerned about her. “Explain to me the whole situation then,” she says. Finally, Chris can breathe comfortably now. “Yenny didn’t show up at your party because on that exact day, she decided to quit nursing Dav

Jeremy almost flies inside just to take Serin away from his brother’s furious hands, and when he finally makes her safe in the corner, he approaches Dave calmly despite the anger suffocating him at the moment. “What happened? Tell me.”Dave falls on his knees, shaking his head and sobbing fearfully. “I..I.. I am.. s..sorry, J..Jeremy.. I.. I’m.. v..very s..sorry..” Jeremy clenches his jaw before bending down to meet his brother’s terrified eyes. Those eyes, though filled with tears, are screaming evil and fury. There’s a monster hiding in them, and Jeremy can clearly see it. As he looks deep into Dave’s eyes, his heart crushes to pieces. Not in pity but in torment. He’s used to it anyway, for every time he does this stupid thing for the sake of their mom, he feels like getting punished a million times when he doesn’t even deserve it. “I.. I w..want.. to.. s..sleep.. n..now..” Dave almost stumbles just to get to his bed. Trembling, he pulls the blanket and covers himself. He sobs cont

She stares at Jeremy, surprised. “W..What do you mean you can.. see and hear things in my eyes?”“The first time it happened was when I confronted you the day after you got discharged from the hospital. Remember when I was so out of it I held on your shoulders forcefully and faced you closely? That was when I saw scenarios in your eyes. I thought I was only overly stressed but it happened again on the night you witnessed me at my worst state at Campbell Park. That was one of the reasons I fell into extreme agitation.” Jeremy faces Serin closely. “And the third time was when we returned to Lewis from Gail’s party. What I experienced during that time was the most terrifying because I already heard myself wailing in the scenario, as if I was taken inside your eyes.”Serin falls into deep silence, unable to say a word, for Jeremy’s revelation is so painful to hear. One thing is for sure now. Jeremy has been in a serious, disturbing state. He has been hallucinating. It’s completely clear to

“Serin spoke in her sleep twice and during those moments, I vanished in the palace and appeared here in this present time. She must be wandering in her dreams, that’s what I am thinking right now.”Whirling emotions, Jeremy was having the same thoughts. Events that involved Serin’s dreams suddenly reappeared in his clear memory.On the night of his 18th birthday, he found Serin on Desf Road. He heard her call him Heron and when he was about to carry him, she longingly touched his face and painfully uttered, “Heron, you’re alive. I’m glad you’re alive.” Those were the same exact words that came out from her in her sleep before Sodon vanished in the past and was brought here in this present time.Jeremy could also remember the day he and Serin had a heated confrontation just because she went out of his condo unit without telling him. When they clashed for the first time, while her

When Jeremy began to notice that Dave had been treating him completely different from how he used to, he already knew why. Slowly getting closer to Serin, Dave had been falling for Serin. And with the fact that Jeremy was the one who found her on Desf Road and rescued her on that rainy night, Dave’s jealousy started to consume him. That was what Jeremy thought, but the painful truth was, Dave had silently hated him even before Serin came to his life.As his condition got horribly worse, Dave buried himself in a deeper state of misery. Since he fell terribly ill the day after his mom passed away, he had become miserably hopeless. He had been tortured and haunted by his own demons in his agitated mind. His own misery completely darkened his life. And the only one who could help him see even a spot of light was his younger brother.In his teenage years, Jeremy had to carry the heaviest weight on his shoulders. If it’s not for Dave, he could h

Criminal, that torturing word.The moment Dave uttered that word, his heart agonizingly broke. His confession, in an instant, took him to that gruesome and haunting night when he was nothing but a horrible monster.Year 2009, the night of his younger brother’s 14th birthday when he thought that his mom was busy in the kitchen preparing for the surprise birthday dinner for Jeremy. While he was in his room, suddenly the door opened.Dave’s body froze when he got caught using illegal drugs. With his mom’s widened eyes, both of them got completely shocked. His extreme nervousness made him throw the drugs in a rush, hands were quivering.Total gloom darkened Leona Sean’s face. Her steps towards her son got heavier. Her beautiful world fell apart.“W..Will you.. turn me in.. to the p..police.. this time?” Dave fearfully asked with his trembling voice and bloody red eyes.Leona

That phone call, in an instant, darkened his bright day. He was sure who was on the other line. That voice, he knew it.That was him, the old man whom he ran into Campbell Park across Tiffany Blue the night when odd occurrences terribly knocked him with shocking terror and absurd affliction. That was nine years ago but Jeremy could still remember him as clear as day. But that was not the first and last time their paths crossed.Five years ago, that old man suddenly showed up on Desf Road and gave him the black silk thread bracelet. And even until now, how that old man quickly disppeared before his sight on that endless and empty road still bothered him.When that old man called him Heron from the other line, for the first time in so many years, that name began to haunt him again. Like flashes of lightning that suddenly disturbed the tranquil dark sky, strikes of overwhelming fear started to frighten him.Jeremy sped up.

Serin suddenly woke up. That scenario in her dream was filled with strange familiarity.That mountain. That sword. That guy. Those men on horses. That old man.She could not help but feel like she had already seen them before, not in her dreams but in real life.In haste, she left the bed and walked straight to the closet. As soon as she opened it, she got her black dress.Looking at the embroidered name on the back collar, she felt sudden pain.She did have a name but her identity had remained mysterious. Her memory was still completely empty.Eyes locked on her black

'I'm glad that you're finally here.. right next to me.' It was like a sweet tune to her heart. Serin flashed a warm smile. The pouring rain became a beautiful shower in her teary eyes.No more hesitation, Jeremy fearlessly faced her. The girl, who was standing before him, had given him unfeigned strength during his silent battles. He had yearned for her which felt like forever. Every day and every night, he had waited for this moment. If it's just a dream, he did not want to wake up. But Jeremy was not dreaming, it's real. He was looking into Serin's beautiful eyes."Welcome back. It's nice to see you again." He was floating in a surge of profound happiness. Words alone could not describe what he was feeling at the moment.Serin exchanged tearful smiles with him. Her heart was also exclaiming in unexplainable delight. All those shared moments with him flashed back. From the first time their longing eyes met to the saddest day they p

Five years ago."I will send you the exact address, sir." A male voice said on the other line."You have done such a great job. I will call you if I need something. Thank you." Dave ended the phone call. Nervousness began to tremble him while hurrying downstairs.Carl, the private detective that he had hired, managed to find Yenny in just four weeks.As soon as he walked past the living room, someone, who was comfortably sitting on the luxuriously-looking sofa, caught his eyes. He stopped walking. 'What is she doing here?'"Hi, Dave!" Gail greeted him. She rose up from sitting and walked to where he was standing. She was displaying her beautiful smile. "Where are you going? You must be in a rush.""What brings you here?" He asked coldly."You still have the courage to show up this house after you caused a scene here a month ago?" Jeremy showed up. He was talking about the nig
MY EX-BOSS, MY LOVER Chapter 203
Gail simpered. "You think you can fool me??" Gail thought that Dave was just fooling around to tease her since he already knew that she had feelings for Jeremy."What if she really likes my brother, will you do something?""I won't do anything because that's not true and that will never happen." There was certainty in her voice. "Since when did you become fond of playing jokes on someone?She let out a heavy sigh. "Driving for almost three hours now must bore you. If boredom is killing you, play some music. Stop spitting non-sense.""What will I get if I play a joke on you?" He sounded so serious while his eyes were focused on driving.Gail looked at him. How his face plastered seriousness could tell that he was no longer teasing her. That's what Gail felt but the truth was, Dave was only acting. He had to fake seriousness in his voice and expression to persuade her that he was telling the truth.
