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

"Where are you?" I asked Charlie immediately as I got up from the table. "St. Agnes General. I'm sorry Zoe. I'm really sorry." Charlie answered as he sobbed in the other line. "Stop crying, Charlie. Pull yourself together. Stay with Zab and listen to her doctor, okay? Wait for me there." I said to him, I heard him mumble a yes and then I ended the call with tears forming in my eyes. "What is it, love?" Gavin asked as he held my arm, stopping me from leaving the table. "Zab's in the hospital. She's been in an accident." I answered him before turning to the startled couple in front of us. "I'm really sorry about this, but I really need to o." "We're coming with you." Ruby said standing up from her seat and grabbing her bag. "What are you boys waiting for? Let's go." She said snapping the two out of their shock. All four of us then hurried out of the apartment and into our cars and before I knew it we were already speeding off to the hospital that Charlie said. "Why won't they pick

I felt something moving as my head rested on Zab's bed while I was sleeping. I instinctively opened my eyes and saw that Zab was looking at me with a big smile on her face. She's finally awake."Oh my gosh! How are you feeling? Does something hurt? I'll call the nurse." I said to her rapidly and before I could even stand up from my seat she immediately pulled me back down."I'm fine, Zoe. Aside from being sore, I feel okay." She said to me but I took her hand off my arm."Let's just be sure, okay." I said to her before standing up again and walking out the door to the nurse's station."The patient in Room 419 is awake." I said to them and I was immediately followed back by on nurse.When we got back to the room, Ruby was also already awake. The nurse immediately took Zab's vitals and then Ruby's and informed them that they both were doing fine."Ms. Ruby, you just need a bit more rest to replenish the blood you donated and you would be good as new. For you Ms. Zab, it would take at le

"Good news first." I answered them, as I finally had my voice back after the chaotic encounter with the Landers. "We have found the person who rammed their car through Zab's car." Officer Philips answered me and all of our focus turned to him. "So what's the bad news?" Zab asked him. "We still haven't arrested her." Officer Richards said that confused us a bit. "What do you mean you haven't arrested her?" Charlie asked and it felt like he was about to pounce on the officers any moment. "As of now, all we know is that the driver of the car is female." Officer Philips began. "We tracked the car using the plate number that was captured by the CCTV at the intersection and it lead us to a car rental company." "We check it ourselves and the car was rented under Karen Hicks. She even showed an ID and the receptionist jotted down the ID number but it was fake." Officer Richards explained. "The car also returned with no damage at all. The suspect had gotten the car fixed before returning
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 68: Invite For Ruby
I'm still getting over everything that happened yesterday. Ruby has been discharged early this morning, she and Grayson left together. He said that he will be taking her home and taking care of her there. Zab was still sleeping so soundly when the door opened. "I brought breakfast." Charlie said coming into the room with a bag in his hand. "You're a life saver bro. I'm really hungry." Gavin suddenly said bolting towards Charlie and as he did Zab began stirring in her bed but he was still asleep. "How is she?" Charlie asked me as he took the seat on the other side of Zab's bed. "She's been asleep the whole night," I said to him as I stood up and joined my boyfriend on the table that who is now devouring a piece of pancake. He then cut a piece of the pancake then put it in front of my mouth, I took the pancake with my mouth and just sat there with him as he ate and feed me alternately. The four of us stayed there in the room, chatting away and catching up to each other. We were la
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 69: Resemblance
"Is everything ready?" My mom asked as our housekeepers ran around the house making sure that everything is in order for our family dinner with Grayson and Ruby."Yes, ma'am. Everything is in order." said Nana Rosa as she finished setting up the dinner table."Good. When are they coming, Zoe?" She suddenly turned her attention to me and I can't help but laugh at her eagerness."Grayson said that they are on their way twenty minutes ago." And as I finished talking the sound of the intercom from the gate rang through the house."They're here!" Mom exclaimed as she ran upstairs, probably to get my father. I walked to the front door and looked through the camera and I was right, it was Grayson and Ruby, so I buzzed them in immediately as Gavin and Charlie opened the front door.As soon as I stepped out of the door, I immediately saw a familiar car driving into our driveway. They parked at the end of the driveway and walked to the front door, with Grayson holding a paper bag that looks lik
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 70: Briefing and Identification
I woke up with a slight jolt as I hear the doorbell ring throughout the whole house. I looked at the person sleeping beside me and to my surprise, Gavin was still sound asleep. I sat up from my bed as I rubbed my eyes and left my sleeping boyfriend in the room to go downstairs to see what was happening so early in the morning.As soon as I got to the last flights of stairs, I saw my mom, dad, and Nana Rosa in front of the opened front door, already waiting for whoever rang the doorbell from the gate. I slowly approached them, still yawning and rubbing my eyes."What's going on?" I asked them as another yawn left my mouth, but before any one of them could answer me, a police car suddenly came into view, driving through our driveway. The two officers that we all knew came out of the car and began walking toward us. "To what do we owe your early visit today officers?" My dad suddenly asked as the two of them finally stood in front of the doors."Good morning, Mr. Aragon. We apologize fo
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 71: Entrapment
Honestly, I'm still a bit skeptical about the plan. I'm not really comfortable allowing my boyfriend to be used as bait to lure in a dangerous criminal. And now, until our car ride to the supposed meeting place, I'm still trying to change his mind. "Love, I'm gonna be fine. It's just Kacey. She's not gonna do anything to me." He said to me and I even saw him smile from the corner of my eye. "That's what we thought about Nancy. And what did they get us?" I asked him, this time he flat out laughed at me and that raised the level of my worry even more. "It's not funny, Gavin! I'm seriously not okay with this plan." "Calm down, love. I promise I'm gonna be fine and besides there are gonna be police officers inside the room with me, remember?" He said to me and I still can't manage to shake off my worry. We got into the hotel lobby an hour before the time that Gavin told Kacey to meet up. When we got there the room was already wired with cameras and mics. There were four police officers

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
