Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 57: Office Surprise
"Love, you haven't told me why you left home in the first place." Gavin said as I came out of the shower after our dinner with my parents. "To be honest, you haven't told me anything about your family." I sat down in front of the vanity and was drying my hair as he lay in bed waiting for me to answer. I guess it's time for me to tell him the whole truth. I started putting on my skincare and started telling him my story. "To be honest, tonight is the first time that I saw my parents act so lively and welcoming." I started. "They weren't always like that?" He asked and I shook my head at him. "Nope. Me and Zab grew up under their very judgemental and micromanaging environment while our parents were anywhere around us." I said to him, finishing up my routine and then coming to the bed and lying next to him. "The only time I felt free when I was a child is with Nana Rosa. She gave me the freedom to do the things that interested me, that's when I started to do my comics and Nana Rosa
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 58: Dinner with X
After causing a big scene in the office, Kacey was the center of gossip for the rest of the day. I didn't even have a chance to talk to Gavin after it happened. Gavin ordered food for everyone in our office but he didn't leave his office after the scene with Kacey. "Cath, I told Xander to meet me for dinner at six o'clock." Andrea said, suddenly appearing from behind me. I looked at the clock and it was almost four o'clock. I looked around the office and saw that there were only a handful of people left. "Yeah. Dre, is it okay if I meet you there?" I asked her, I'm kinda worried about Gavin and I want to make sure that he's okay before going to dinner with Andrea and Xander. "Of course, Cath. That's fine. I guess I'll go first, I have to get ready. I'll call you, okay?" Andrea said to me and I just nodded at her. She then left the office and once I was sure that I was alone I saved everything and got my things to go fetch my boyfriend from the confinements of his office. I saw Kyl
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 59: Heated Night
My body stopped moving as Xander asked Andrea the question that none of us really expected to hear that night as he got done on one knee. I looked at Andrea curiously and after a few seconds of staring at Xander, her eyes finally started to wander around. He caught me staring at her, looking for answers but I just shook my shoulders not knowing what to do with the situation. Finally, Andrea snapped out of her daze and started pulling Xander up to his feet. "Get up, Xander. Please." He whisper-shout at him while pulling his arm. I guess he noticed the panic in her actions because he stood up and sat back down on his chair. Me and Andrea both looked around and saw that not a lot of people were looking at our table and I saw Andrea drew a breath of relief as she focus her attention back at our table. "What's going on, Andrea?" Xander asked as soon as his eyes met hers. "Xander, no offense but I don't want to get married." Andrea answered her at had both me and Xander shocked. I looke
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 60: Kacey's Last Ace
I still don't know what to make of the message I received last week. I don't want to make a big deal out of it, so I didn't tell anyone about it. I guess it was a good thing that I didn't tell anyone about it cause nothing followed after the first message. "Cath, about the script for the new volume, I'm kinda having a hard time connecting the plot of this to the last one." Janice opened up as we were having a team meeting for the new volume of one of our comics. "Send me a copy and I'll see what I can do." I told her and she nodded. "Anyway, if we don't have any concerns, I think we're all good." And I ended the meeting with the agreement of everybody. I went back to my desk and dropped off all my things, grabbing my wallet and phone before going to Gavin's office. We agreed to have lunch together today and because Andrea already had plans with Xander, we decided to go out for lunch. "Hi, Cath. Going out for lunch?" Kyla asked me as I walked by her desk. "Yeah. Have you had lunch?
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 61: His Sister's Wrath
"Why are you doing this Kacey?" I asked her before she could leave the office. She stopped at her track and then turn around to face me. "Because he's mine." She replied. "No, he's not. You lost him when you cheated." I said to her and she simply smirked at me. She then started walking back toward me, I was intimidated but I stood my ground. "I would never let anyone take away what's mine. Yeah. I cheated on him but that doesn't mean that I would let go of someone who can give me everything that I wanted in life." She replied. "Money, power, and everything that goes with being privileged." She said then turned her back on me and left me, alone in Gavin's office. So that's all that Gavin is to her. Someone that could pull her up the food chain. I felt angry, infuriated, but then guilt and worry washed over me. Can I judge her for lying to him, when I also lied? Am I even worthy of his love or his forgiveness? He's been through a lot and I added more to that. My knees buckled and
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 62: Make Up or Break Up
"What do you mean you can't?" Gabby asked confused at my answer. "I can't face him. I don't even know if I deserve him anymore, Gab. I've already hurt him. I doubt that he'd want anything to do with me after what happened." I explained to her as I sob through the pillow. "He'd want you back if you'd just explain to him as you did to me." She said, pulling me up and having me face her. "I love him, Gab. I do. I just can't see him right now. I don't think I can handle it if he rejects me after I explain to him." I said to her, giving her a faint smile. "Cath." I heard Andrea say. "You both deserve each other. Are you gonna let fear take him away?" I turned to her and smiled as best as I could. "Who knows, maybe I'll wake up one day and have enough courage to face him, I just know that it's not today." I said to her. "This is all my fault. If I just..." Zab started and I couldn't bear my sister blaming herself for my decisions, so I turned to her before she could even finish her s
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 63: In His Arms
He lifted me and placed me on top of his desk as my bags slipped from my grasp. I felt him searching with his hands behind me as our steamy kiss continued. He then found what he was looking for and after a few seconds, the lights inside the office turned off and his curtains automatically closed.I then felt his hands on my legs, he hooked my legs on his waist and easily lifted me off of his desk, and carried me back to the couch. He sat down positioning me on his lap as he held my face in place while deepening our kiss even more.I pulled away after a couple of minutes and gasped for air as his kisses started going down my neck. I couldn't help but moan in pleasure as he started licking and slight sucking and nipping at my neck. I felt him smile every time a moan left my mouth."Gav." I manage to say breathlessly as his hands started untucking my shirt from my skirt. His hands then went under my shirt, unclasping my bra, giving himself better access to everything I have upfront as I
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 64: Dinner Date
Me and Gavin pulled into our office's parking lot and started transferring all of our groceries to his car. After a couple of minutes, my phone started ringing and it was Zab. "I'm already at the lobby." She said as soon as I answered. "Take the elevator and go down to the basement parking. We're already here." I said to her. "Okay. Thanks." She said then hung up the phone. A few more minutes passed and we finally heard the sound of the elevator opening on our floor. Zab immediately head for us as soon as she saw us. "Glad you two made up." She said as soon as she got closer. "Thank you for talking to him, even though I told you not to." I said to her with a slight eye roll. "No problem. I wouldn't be a proper younger sister if I didn't go against your wishes, right." She said to me and we both just laughed at her remark. "Whatever, Zab. Here." I said to her, handing her the keys to my car. "Thanks, Zoe. You're really a lifesaver. I love you!" She exclaimed as she took the ke

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
