Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 44: Alone in the Office
I got back to my desk as soon as I finished taking care of the meeting room. I'm starting to feel a bit scared, to be honest. I think I might have pushed Gavin to his limit. I know he's my boyfriend and all that but, he is still my boss and our relationship is still new so maybe it was a wrong move to take the elevator without him. I sat on my chair for a moment, contemplating whether I should go and apologize to Gavin then my phone started ringing, it was Gavin. I took a deep breath and then answered the call. "Hello?" I asked and immediately he answered. "Where are you, Cath?" He asked me, still in a serious tone. "I'm at my desk. Still finishing something. Will go there as soon as I'm done." I replied to him, trying to stall for time. "It's afternoon break already." He replied and I knew I had no way out. "Okay. Be right there. Just one moment. Bye." I said to him. "Make it fast." He said to me then ended the call. I think I really am in so much trouble. With lots of doub
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 45: Heated Night
Gavin heard my slight sobs and his face immediately showed concern and worry. He caressed my face with both his hand and started wiping the tears away. "Why are you crying, love?" He asked me and I just shook my head. "It's nothing. Just got some dust in my eyes." I said to him as I rubbed my eyes, stopping myself from crying. I looked away from him, but Gavin cupped my face in his hands, forcing me to look back at him with my tear-stained face. "You're upset about something?" He asked me, but I just forced a smile, not wanting him to dig any deeper. "I see." He said, wiping the remaining tears away. He looked at me with passion and warmth while I stare back at him with guilt and worry. "Listen, love. I know you're dealing with something right now, I understand. You don't have to tell me anything right now. Tell me everything about it when you're ready. It's okay, no need to feel worried or guilty about it." He said to me before pulling me into a hug. I felt Gavin stroking my bac
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 46: Meeting the Mitchels
I woke up and I was sore all over. It was a crazy night and as Gavin wanted, because I'm never gonna admitted that I craved it too, we had round two just as we got home. Was it really normal to last that long in bed? Luckily, it is already Saturday and I don't have to get out of bed. So, I just stayed in bed as long as I wanted. "Good morning, love." I heard Gavin's voice say as the door of the bedroom opened. "Umm." I just mumbled at him as I cuddled more into bed with my eyes closed. I felt a sudden shift of weight in the bed and the smell of waffles and bacon zoomed in my nose waking me up in an instant. "Bacon." I exclaimed as I sat up from bed. "I figured you're too sore to get out of bed." He said to me with a proud smile on his face. "You cooked? And it's not burned?" I asked, he was about to answer when a head suddenly popped out of the door. "He wouldn't stop calling me at six in the morning. He practical beg me to come here and cook breakfast for you, now I know why.
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 47: Dinner with the Future In-Laws
I was a bit nervous at first, but it wasn't long before I felt a bit comfortable with them. Both his parents were attentive and very warm towards me. We were waiting in the room that they were dancing in for the dinner to be served. "So, since when have you two been together?" Aunty Margo asked that really got me worried, does she thinks that I was lying when they interviewed me about the issue before? "When the issue about the videos was released, we weren't really together." I explained to her defensively, but unlike what I imagined, Aunty Margo just let out an elegant laughter. "Relax Cath, that issue has already been cleared up, remember?"She said to me that somehow made me a bit at ease. "It's only been a bit over a month since we started dating, mom. And stop making my girlfriend so anxious, she's still not used to seeing you outside the office." Gavin said answering his mom that made her smile wider. "So, I'm guessing, you're the one whole fell head over heels for her, Gav?
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 48: Trouble with X
Andrea just sat there on the couch for a couple more minutes as I try my best to calm her down, but her sobs won't stop. I went back to the kitchen and got her one more glass of water. I got back to the couch and she was still unresponsive to anything that I asked her. "Dre, please. I can't help you if I don't know what's going on. I need you to tell me exactly what happened to you." I said to her as I stroked her back. I felt her become less tense as I continued rubbing her back. She then got her sobs under control but then cupped her face in her palms still in distress. I waited for her to say something but she just sat there with her head hung low. I was about to ask her again when I saw her take a deep breath and muttered something in a whisper. "What?" I asked her again, not able to catch anything that she said. She raised her head and looked at me. Her eyes are full of fear and confusion, she took another deep breath and she finally let it out. "I'm pregnant, Cath." She admit
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 49: One Blissful Day
"Do you think Andrea's gonna be fine?" Gavin asked as he was watching me cook our breakfast while Gabby, Andrea, and Zab are still sleeping in the bedroom. "She'll be alright. I'm not worried one bit." I told him with a smile as I fried some bacon and eggs. "You two seem to know each other very well." He added as he took one piece of bacon. "Stop taking the bacon." I said as I slapped his hand and took the plate away before he could finish the whole thing. He just started rubbing the back of his hand and let out a chuckle. "We've been friends since high school and I know that she'll get through it. Besides, I'll always be there for her." I said to him as I finished cooking breakfast. I turned off the stove took all the plates of food and placed them on the table. "I counted the pieces of bacon. Don't start eating! I'll wake them up." I said to him before I turn my back to the table and went inside the bedroom to wake up the girls. I insisted that they take my bed while me and Ga
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 50: New Meat
The weekend went by and I could say that I had a very productive weekend. Even with all of the distractions, mainly named Gavin Mitchel, we finished painting the interior of the apartment and we even had the chance to do the tile work in the kitchen and it turned out great. "Gavin! You need to wake up, or we are gonna be late." I said to him as I try shaking him while he was still laying on the bed in deep sleep. "Umm." He groaned and just changed his position on the bed, turning his back on me. "Hey! You need to wake up. If I finished showering and you're not up, I'm gonna throw water on you." I said to him and went immediately to my bathroom. I played some music and put the volume on full blast before I took off all my clothes and started my morning shower. I was in the middle of scrubbing when I suddenly felt someone hug me from behind. "I'm not the only one who's awake." He whispered to me as the water continued running down our bodies. This man is really gonna be the death of
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 51: Madness Monday
"You seem a bit off today, love." Gavin suddenly said as we were having our lunch in his office. I must admit it feels a bit lighter to be hiding our relationship in the office, but we still have to be careful not to be very showy. "I'm fine." I said to him as I continued eating my food in peace. "Does this have anything to do with the new girl?" He suddenly asked out of the blue. "What do you mean?" I asked him, and I also felt my voice rising a bit. He laughed at my reaction and that just made my blood boil even more. "What so funny, Gavin?" I asked him, putting down my spoon and fork on the table, and just stared at him, waiting for his answer, but he just continued laughing. I was so pissed off that I stood up from my seat but before I could even take a step away from him, Gavin already held my wrist and pulled me back down beside him. "So it does have something to do with her." He mumbled as he maintained a tight grip on my wrist. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 138: Bad News; Good News
Soon the party settled down and a two-tier birthday cake was pushed into the center of the garden. The people in attendance were just my family, friends, and co-workers, so I looked at my husband and he immediately understood what I was thinking. My kids led the crowd in singing Happy Birthday. Both of them were jumping up and down, clapping their tiny hands. I gestured for them to come over as the song came to an end and they joined me in blowing out my candles as everyone cheered. "Let's hear from the birthday girl!" Cam suddenly said, handing me the microphone. Gavin picked up Zia as I held ZG's hand while I addressed the rest of the crowd. "First and foremost, thanks to all of you for spending your time to celebrate my birthday with me. It has been a rough couple of weeks for me and my family, but standing here in front of you makes me realize just how much love we receive from lots of people around us, and for that, I want to show my gratitude to everyone who gave us strengt
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 137: Pains and Gains
The days in the hospital were still so agonizing. I could still feel the pain in my abdomen, just where the bullet hit me. The doctor told me that I might be experiencing the "phantom effect", you know? The feeling you get when you remove something but it still feels like it's there. They kept reassuring me that everything was fine, but I had my doubts that's why we decided to take a few more tests just to be sure. And just like any other day, Zia and ZG visited me right after school. They would always tell me everything about their day and these past few weeks, their stories have been the highlight of my days inside my dull hospital room. "When are you going home, mommy?" ZG asked as he got ready to go home for the night. "We're still not sure, baby. But I'm fine. The doctors just want to do some more tests to be sure." I answered him, patting his head before giving it a light kiss. "Don't worry, bud. Mommy will be home in no time." Gavin said as he lifted our youngest from t
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 136: Live Again
His lips on mine were pure ecstasy. Honestly, I was left hanging and unsatisfied with his kiss earlier but this erases those longing feelings that were lingering in my chest as my doctor was checking on me earlier. His hand made its way to the back of my neck, pulling me closer and deepening the kiss. We were kissing each other as if our lives depended on it, and frankly, I think it does. It felt like an eternity since our lips met, but when we pulled away, out of breath it still didn't feel enough. Our eyes met and a smile was lingering on his lips. "Welcome back, love. I missed you." He whispered to me before planting a kiss on my forehead. "I missed you too, love." I whispered back, returning his smile before he pulled away and sat on the side of my bed. He started fidgeting with his phone which made my eyebrows furrowed. I just woke up from a two-week-long coma, as per what the doctor said to me, and here is my husband sitting beside me but is preoccupied with whatever inter
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 135: Come Back To Me
"Officer, can you watch over my kids for me? I just need to know what's happening to Cathy." I asked Officer Philipps and he nodded. "ZG, Zia, Officer Philipps will stay with you for a while, okay? He we keep you safe. Daddy is just going to see Mommy." I said to them, and they both nodded at me. "Come back soon, Daddy." ZG said and I nodded at him, giving them each a kiss on the forehead before heading out of their hospital room and making my way to the Emergency Room. "I'm looking for Catherine Mitchel, she got shot." I said as calmly as I could to the person at the desk. She nodded and started tapping on her computer. "The patient has been transferred to the operating room." She said and I dashed off before she could finish talking. The lights in the operating room were already on when I got there, so there was only one thing to do, wait. Minutes passed, then hours, and a couple of minutes after the three-hour mark, the doors opened. "How is she?" I immediately asked the
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 134: In Gavin's Eyes
I got out of the house, I need fresh air. I had to clear my mind or our conversation would not get anywhere. I was in the middle of the park when I decided to call someone I really trusted. "Good afternoon, sir. Can I speak with Officer Philipps?" I asked the person in the other line. "May I ask who this is?" He asked. "This is Gavin Mitchel." I answered shortly. "Okay, sir. I'll patch you in." He replied and a lively tune started playing before I was greeted by a familiar voice. "It's been a long time. How are you, Gavin?" Asked Officer Philipps through the phone. "Not so good, sir. I need your help." I then gave him a quick rundown of everything that went down. After I finished I heard him sigh. "Why do both of you attract these types of people?" He asked curiously, but even I couldn't give him an answer. "For now, be with Cath. I'll look into it and call you as soon as I get something." "Okay, Officer. Thanks... for everything." "Now, go home. And make sure Cath doesn't d
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 133: Hard Choices
This is probably the longest ten-minute shower I ever had. I'm still waiting for Nathan's instructions and I got into a huge fight with Gavin because of it. “You want me to be okay with him taking my wife in exchange for my kids?” He asked. “No way I’m letting him take any of you.” “Love, we can guarantee that he wouldn’t hurt me but we can’t say that it's the same for our kids. We don’t know what’s going inside his head.” I said, trying to reason with him. “No. No. Sorry, love. That is not an option.” He said walking out of our bedroom. It was a hard decision for me too, but I can't let my kids get hurt. I can't let any of them get hurt because of me again. This time, it's my turn to save them. I got out of the shower and Gavin was still not back in our room. I grabbed my phone and there it was. A message from Nathan. It didn't have any time or date, just the address, making me think that he probably wanted me there as soon as possible. That works for me because I want to see my k
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 132: Mom's Worst Nightmare
"Where are my kids, Nathan?" I began, trying my best to remain calm in the situation. Gavin tried to snatch my phone from me but I avoided it. I don't think it's a good idea to let the two of them talk. they both might explode. "They're safe. I have them with me. We had a little bonding session today. I was hoping you could join us?" He asked trying to sound sweet, but I couldn't help but feel a shiver down my spine as listened to him talk. "I'm still at work, Nate. Maybe another day? Do you mind dropping them off at the office?" I asked, acting oblivious to his motives. "Oh come on Cath. It's already seven in the evening, you should be home by now, right? Both you and your husband?" He asked and Gavin quickly took the phone from me. "Where are our kids, Nathan? I'm not playing with you!" Gavin angrily said through the phone. "You are going to talk to me! Just what do you want from us!" Then Gavin went silent. He looked at me, his eyes trembling. I could see fear in them. "Fine!
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 131: Mending Things
Being with Gavin again made me realize that I have never stopped loving him. No matter how much I wanted to forget about him, my heart remained with him throughout the years. I guess it is true, that no matter how far you walk away from each other, people who are meant to be together will always gravitate back to each other. "Mommy?" I heard Zia's voice as she was tugging on my dress. "Are you okay?" She asked me. "Why? What happened?" Gavin suddenly asked as he and ZG walked towards us. "Mommy was staring at you with a silly smile." Zia said that made my eyes bulge out of their sockets. "No, I wasn't." I said to her, looking right at her. Asking her to shut up with my eyes but it looks like I need to work on my silent communication with my daughter. "Yes. You were." She said before hopping away from us. "Just hold it in, love. Our kids are still awake." Gavin whispered to me, taking the picnic basket from my hand before following our daughter, leaving me dumbfounded. "I wasn't
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 130: Family Time
The weeks went by in such a bliss and now, we’re moving back in with their dad in our old apartment. It took a lot of convincing on my side but eventually, Gavin was able to make me agree with him. “Are we there yet?” Zia asked for the nth time as we were driving to the apartment. She has been very excited since we told them about the move, and couldn’t wait to see the room her big brother was talking about. “No yet baby. We’ll have to stop to get some groceries, remember?” Gavin answered her sweetly. “Aww. Are we going to stay there long?” She asked again with a pout on her face. “Come on, Zia. It’s going to be fun. And you can pick out some decorations for our room.” ZG said, calming her sister in the back seat. “Yey!” Zia screamed as she started humming the theme song of her favorite show. Thank goodness, ZG knows precisely what to say to his sister in every situation. When we got to the groceries, the two of them walked in front of me and Gavin and started getting things that
