I gritted my teeth in annoyance just from what she just stated. I slightly trembled from wanting to slap this bitch.
What the fuck did she say? Does she want me to punch that annoying face of hers? She just called me a cheap woman. The audacity... I wanted to laugh mockingly.
"My, my." It was Mr. Cilantro and his joyful voice. He put his hand on her shoulder. "My dearest, she's Sebastian's personal assistant. Do not be rude."
"Ah." She scrutinized me up and down. The way she scrutinized me was disgusting. "'Kay." Then she scoffed and crossed her arms over her chest.
Mr. Cilantro stretched an apologetic smile to me. "On behalf of my daughter, Kiana, I would like to apologize for her behavior. She didn't mean that."
"Dad!" Her
As expected, I ate alone in our hotel room while Sir Sebastian was on his bed, changing into his sleeping attire. He didn't eat his dinner and his anger didn't dissipate yet. With the faint light from the light lamp, his eyebrows were still furrowed while looking at his laptop.An awkward silence was circulating the room after I took a quick shower and changed into my sleeping attire. As I couldn't take the silence, I decided to go out without informing Sir Sebastian.I just couldn't fall asleep if that kind of atmosphere was lingering around. It was annoying and I couldn't just decide to change the room because I needed to inform my boss for his approval.I felt like he just came back from the stony man when I first met him upon arriving at Huntington's Inc. All the hard work I did, all disappeared in an instant.
"Scuba diving?"I nodded my head. "Would you like to try it, Sir Sebastian?" I asked as my smile was hanging when I mentioned to him about scuba diving this morning. I was hoping he would say no for this one.He was already looking at the scuba diving gear displayed in the shop, touching the fins. "It seems interesting," he said, which made my heart leap from nervousness."R-Really?" I faked a smile at Sebastian. But when he nodded, my world suddenly crumbled down. "That's great then!" I distanced myself and looked in the other direction. "Yay... Great... Scuba diving... We're dead..." My tone gradually died down when Sir Sebastian ignored me, and I murmured those words.I went to the shore when I made sure that my boss wasn't paying attention to me. My chest rose up and
"Right... She has thalassophobia... I didn't know she had a phobia under the water... I would have known, Schneizel, but I didn't! She freaking kept it... Don't fucking yell at me, you fucktard!"I groaned, yawning so loud as I rubbed my eyes from the loud voice of my boss. Why was he yelling all of a sudden?"Wait... She's waking up. I'll hang up now. Thanks to you, you fucking bastard.""Sir Sebastian...?" I mindlessly called his name, half-awake. "What's with the loud voice? Are you arguing with someone?" I rubbed my eyes."Y-Yeah. A colleague of mine. He is a damn freaking bastard..." He hissed.While rubbing my eyes and getting up, I felt the side of my bed sunken. I slowly peeled my eyes open. I was taken aback when I r
"You fucking son of a bitch! You have one job to do and you even make a mistake?!"I simply turned my head at Sir Sebastian who was on his phone talking angrily to Sir Kyle, the lawyer of Huntington Inc."You can't even fucking close a deal, you moron! How can you fucking call yourself a lawyer, you shitty meathead?!"I secretly drew a wry smile as I settled his papers from his desk while he was beside me, sitting on his swivel chair. He had asked me to arrange his paperwork to earlier to later dates.And here I was enduring his loud, angry voice that sent shivers down my spine as he exploded a series of expletives to the caller."You better get the deal or else I am going to make sure you will lose your license!"
I blinked, flipping the invitation letter given by Ms. Perry. I sniffed a little the envelope as I smelled its fragrance. But I stopped when Ms. Perry looked at me with her arching eyebrow. I smiled wryly. "I-I must go back." I took the piles of folders from her desk and settled them in my arms as I put the invitation letter on top of it. "Thanks again, Ms. Perry," I said, not looking at her as I sauntered back to Sebastian's office, twisting the doorknob but someone pulled the door. "What took you so—" I shrieked as I lost my balance when someone pulled the door roughly while I was still holding on to the doorknob. Good thing Sebastian caught me in his arms but a disaster came again. "Oh no!" "Shit!"
"You, girl, are hot as ever! Aren't you planning to seduce your boss with that sophisticated look?"I looked at Marlou in disbelief then I rolled my eyes. "Oh, please. I am not that kind of a person and I am only coming there as a proxy, you idiot." I rolled my eyes one more time before I finished my eyeshadow to my left and right eyes coloring them with smoky colors.Marlou grinned and leaned to the doorframe. "Uh-huh. Proxy..."I narrowed my eyes on him. "What is that supposed to mean?" It was like he wanted to say something just by mentioning the word, proxy."Nothing, girl." He shrugged his shoulders. But he has a mischievous smile plastered on his lips.I just shook my head and rolled my eyes before I got to finish apply
My stomach somersaulted from his words. "Eh?" I asked, almost distorted.He said what? I'm his? What the hell is he talking about?I averted my gaze and smiled wryly, noticing that the people's attention was on us. I had to do something about this.I grabbed all the courage before I dared to look back at Sebastian's eyes. "Sir, listen to me." I held his face with my hands and was forced to look at me. "We need to get out. You need to cool off your head. Understand me?" He didn't react, remaining with his stoic expression. I lowered down my hands and apologetically looked at Oliver. "On behalf of him, I will apologize for his rudeness.""What? No!" Sebastian objected.I ignored his whim and smiled wryly at Oliver who still has
"I can't believe you actually called me here for I thought it was an emergency but all you want me to do is to tie your necktie?!" I said, complaining as I frowned.Sebastian showed a sheepish grin. I was annoyed so I tightened his necktie which caused him to cough."What the hell!" He stepped backwards and shot me a glare.I smiled sweetly. "Oh, sorry, Sir Sebastian. I did it intentionally," I said mockingly.His eyes squinted. "You cunning woman..."I just flipped my hair, looking at him boastfully. "Let me fix it again," I said with a grin.His face turned sour which made me grin. "No, thanks. I can manage." He faced the mirror to fix the necktie that almost choked him.
My eyes widened at the surprised kiss he just gave. I did not protest but found myself kissing him back. It was hard to fight the urge to stop myself from my attraction to this man.But if he was going to ask if I could reciprocate his feelings, I couldn't. I was still doubting it. I felt like I couldn't meet his expectations and that I did not deserve to be paid attention by this man."Sebastian..." A moan escaped from my lips when his lips that bruised mine traveled down to kiss my jaw down to my neck. I clung to him and kept grinding myself when I knew that I was straddling him at this moment. "Cejay..." he said dreamily as he licked, nipped, and nibbled my skin, making me lean back to give him full access to my neck.I couldn't stop myself from desiring this man. Not only that I know that he had longed to have me, but I had been lusting over him ever since I knew that I was attracted to this man. Just this once... I wanted to give myself to someone I could put my trust in from n
"Tell me you're joking..." I was still in disbelief since silence meant yes. He was neither agreeing nor deflecting it, but I assumed he did. "Sebastian...?"Sebastian sighed and laid his head on my chest again, making me uncomfortable. But I did not push him away. Suddenly, he looked adorable to my eyes, knowing how he could be like a puppy, waggling his tail to his master."Um... It's fine if you are not going to tell." I meant, why would I force him to say anything about it? I must respect his wishes. It was important that I knew his boundaries despite the curiosity that was eating me to the core.When he took my hand to intertwine with mine, I almost barked, but he looked up into my eyes. "No. I am going to tell you. I promise to myself that once you are here on our island, I am going, to be honest with you as much as possible."I almost smiled wryly. He kept insisting that I owned this island, too, when that was not the case. He really assumed that. I really wanted to correct it,
I asked while he was carefully putting me down. My eyes widened in admiration, leaving him alone on his ground as I approached them. Oh my, my favorite flower..."Do you like them?"My fingertips touched them before I mindlessly nodded. "Y-Yes..." I was almost rendered speechless since I was surrounded by tropical hibiscus. I was so fascinated that I did not want to leave my eyes on them.I snapped back when in my peripheral vision, I caught Sebastian taking out his phone and taking a photo of me. "Sebastian..." I frowned upon seeing that he was taking another photo of me. This man... He was really such a creep. Sebastian softened and kept his phone in the pocket of his trousers. "Sorry. I just want to cherish this moment with you. Now that you have seen one of my surprises that is meant only for you." With that, he tucked a few strands of my hair behind my ear. "God... You are so beautiful, Cejay."My heart raced rapidly from his words. The way his tone sounded that he admired me s
I quietly went to the balcony, fully clothed with a huge frown sitting on my face. I met Sebastian there whose attention was on the sea."You're here now, love." His eyes were sparkling when he saw me."As if I have a choice..." I said bitterly.He grinned and offered his hand. "I shall tour you around. I want you to familiarize yourself with our private island." His voice sounded gentle as he looked like the prince charming that I had been waiting for.I only stared at his open palm before I walked past him. "Tour me now," I commanded him. I don't care now if he was my boss or not.The point was I was with a fucking creep and I did not know how to get away from him since I was living under the same roof with him.I flinched when Sebastian held my hand without a warning. "L-Let go!" I was flustering right now when he was smiling from ear to ear. "Sebastian!" This damn freaking man... Why couldn't he just leave me alone? "This is harassment!" I said through gritted teeth when he did no
I was quietly washing the dishes. Until now, his confession kept ringing inside my head.I managed to have Sebastian distance himself from me. Thank goodness that he listened this time.With the confession he revealed, I felt like I did not know how to face him. I had been questioning myself.Of all the women he had to fall in love with, why me? I was an uninteresting individual. How come he had to like and love me?When I was finished, I sneaked out of my room. But as soon as I arrived there, there were some new clothes and undergarments on the bed. Creasing my forehead, there was a letter beside them.'You can take a bath and use them to wear them. Then meet me on our balcony, love.Will be yours soon,S.H.P.S. If you are worried about the size of your bra, don't worry, I picked a 34B cup size for you.'That made my jaw drop. "What the fuck? He knew my cup size?" That made me horrified but at the same time, I castigated myself since I must now expect that Sebastian was a creep and
Sebastian ushered me to go to the dining room. I couldn't lift an attitude with him as soon as he helped me to sit down and prepared breakfast for me."I know that you do not have many favorites when eating something in the morning. You like a meal that will surely fill your stomach," Sebastian said as he sat across from me. It was somehow bizarre to see him smiling. "So, I prepared the food that you will certainly like."Yes, he surely smiled but he would only do that if he was teasing me or he was in a good mood. But seeing him that he was always smiling seemed refreshing to me. What I knew from working with him for a whole year that would turn into two years was he was always grumpy.There were times that he would snap at anyone."I don't want to stay here..." I said as Sebastian was filling my plate. My heart was reacting so fast having him so close as he served me like I was his queen."Eat up." He certainly ignored my statement. "I will show you our island. I am certain that you
"T-This isn't funny, Sir Sebastian." I slowly stepped back when he slowly took strides in my direction. My heart was beating so fast with every step he took.I felt more trapped than before.Sebastian drew out a condescending smile on his lips. "Who says that I am even jesting, Cejay?" I shivered when he held my chin and forced me to look at him. "Did you even see in this very room that screams everything about you, love? Do you know what this means?"I gulped, looking intently at his possessive gaze.He asked me what they meant. I started to think carefully. He had so many files which were all about me. Even candid photos.From elementary until now... It was as if he had been watching me for a very long time.If I would count the years he knew me, it was... more than 15 years?!I gasped and looked at Sebastian, horrified at the conclusion I reached right now. "I-I am the one you are talking about you love for s-sixteen years?" I parroted, hearing how my heart was racing rapidly.Seba
I knew too well that I wouldn't get to concentrate on the movie I was watching.Sebastian was distracting me with the way he was cackling. It sounded so gorgeous and it made me want to straddle my boss for some reason.I snapped back, paying full attention to the movie I was watching."Say... Do you also bring your date here?" I asked when I started grasping the movie I was watching."Have I told you that I never dated anyone?" I looked surprised at his words. "I told you that I have loved someone for more than 15 years." He arched his eyebrow.My heart skipped a beat when he was looking at me intently. The way he looked at me, it felt like he was confessing his love to me."Ah, yes. Lucky her." I nodded. Such a lucky girl. However, I was the one who kissed him. Did it mean that I was his first kiss if ever? "Wait. You love someone else but you kissed me?" I was somehow surprised at my question. But I realized whose fault it was. "I mean well, yes, it is my fault. I am sorry about tha
Shit... What on earth was he doing here in this place?His ocean blue eyes pierced me. "Fancy meeting you here, Cejay."I inhaled sharply, gulping. Fuck... I just saw him yesterday and now, I had to see him right at this moment? Oh, fuck me! I wanted to die in shame right now!I smiled wryly. "Yeah..." Now, I feel awkward. However, he didn't look like he was being awkward to me. "What brings you here?" I asked, trying to lift up the conversation so I didn't have to remember what I did to him.But what he did to me suddenly crossed my mind. It was unbelievably hot as well. Crap...Sebastian shrugged. "I am actually in the mood to eat outside. I didn't know you would also be here," he said nonchalantly. His eyes roamed around before his eyes darted on me. "You don't like this kind of restaurant. This doesn't satiate your hunger, I believe."My eyes widened when he came to know that. "Y-Yes. How did you know?" I asked, curious how on earth he knew about that fact."Whenever we tried eati
