My Boss, My Boyfriend Chapter 132
Allow me a chance to tell you my story…******Instinctively, Martha knew he was about to unlock the door to who he actually was and why he was what he was. His background will tell her all she needs to know about the man she had loved and craved for, silently, and for several years.Martha nodded firmly. “I promise not to interrupt your story unless it is necessary, Tom.” She could afford to do that. She had waited too long for this reality. Martha accepted the truth of this in her heart as she folded her hands primly on her laps, ready to listen to Tom and what shaped him to be who he is today.“Thank you!” Tom acknowledged as he took a calming breath.******After the weekend they just had in Mike’s family home, Liza was feeling a bit of laziness as they drove to work the following Monday. For the third time in few minutes, she suppressed a yawn with the back of her hand.“Want to take a break and go back home?” Mike knew the weekend had been tiring for her. Not out of work or an

Be happy for people doing good…******She knew the meaning of that look from Mike!‘Woe betides anyone careless enough to show its disapproval of Mike and Liza together. They better hide their displeasure very well, else they will have Mike to contend with.’ Liza got the message loud and clear and while she was pleased to know Mike would support her all the way, she also felt some pity for those people.“Then I hope they are happy for us. I don’t want you slaying heads off for my sake.” Liza told him softly.“My dear, not just heads, I will also savage bodies and hearts for you.” Mike said this in a loud whisper just as the lift brought them to their floor.Unwilling to miss the rest of the show, the others dragged their feet as they evacuated the elevator. Following Liza and Mike into the office lobby, they kept glancing at one another, in anticipation of the news they would share among themselves later.Glancing up suddenly, Mike saw that and his look changed. He made a quick deci

Unreciprocated love is a friend of pain and heartbreak …******Since none of them knew the bride, they had all felt it was none of their business to ask about the bride. On the wedding day, they would meet her. But now that the boss mentioned it, it seemed he wanted them to acknowledge her. Could it be someone they know? Or is this just his way of trying to introduce her name? They all wondered in silence. Suddenly, someone spoke for them.“We know you are a powerful man, boss, which means you would also be taking a wife from a status family. But if you want us to know her name?” “Yes, Mr. Stanford, we would love to know the name of your would - be – wife, so we can pay our respect anytime we meet her outside.” John called respectively.When Mike heard this, he could not help it, his face broke into a wide grin.“Not just outside, John, even inside. My fiancée is someone you all know.” Mike was happy to announce this as he finally gave his attention to the woman beside him.Drawin

A true love is worthy of a Media Announcement…******Dropping her red colour purse on her desk as she took a seat, Liza gave a loud sigh.She really did not know how to feel; relieved to know everything had been let out and no need for secretive meetings? ‘Or should I be sad because of that look I glimpsed on John’s face?’ He looked so wretched after that sardonic look from Mike that Liza wanted to go to him to comfort him. To be candid, Liza is really surprised with all she was feeling, considering she had never encouraged John nor thought of them as an item. It was not her fault that he had feelings for her despite not giving him any familial attention. She had always been professional with all the staff members and now, he is making her feel like she betrayed him.Holy cow! The guy sure knew how to pull in the punches with that boyish hurtful look. Liza found it was hard for her to ignore him totally despite not having any feelings for him. Well, that would be a lie. She felt s

A genuine love is transparent and generous… ******The love between the two was obvious to every person in the room and the camera man tried his level best to capture the moments. He was sure there would be no doubts on anyone’s mind about the affection they held for each other once the pictures were published in the papers.Jerry gave a slight cough of apology. “My bad, Mr. Stanford, of course you are lucky to have Miss Stacey as a wife.” Jerry acknowledged.“We are both lucky to have each other, Jerry.” Liza finally volunteered a sentence.Happy to give his attention to the demurely beautiful lady, Jerry smiled.“Yes, Miss Stacey, but how do you feel knowing your husband-to-be will also be your boss? Do you mind?” Jerry asked.“Mind? Why should I? As far as I am concerned, working in the same office with my man is a plus not a minus. It means I get to see his face all day, every time I feel like it. It’s better than sitting in one strange company, dreaming of him when I should be w

You share other's pain when you love them…******Tom could not breathe!For close to thirty minutes now after sharing his story and ordeals with Martha, she had refused to say a word, despite his eagerness for her understanding.He had told himself he was not expecting her sympathies and forgiveness for his misdemeanours, but now that he was done explaining about his childhood, he found he was disappointed with her attitude.The silence was not what he was expecting!But despite his prompts, she just kept staring into space, unable or probably not interested in saying a word.Maybe his story had shocked her beyond belief and the poor girl was in a mental state of distress.‘Or maybe she was judging him? Unfavourably?’ Tom did not understand, but he found the more she was quiet, the more he wanted to crawl to a hole and hide.He never thought he cared for her opinion of him but obviously, he did.He cared way too much than he should…than he had the right to.It was so glaring to him

A journey of restitution…******Forcing a smile on her lips, Martha refused to move and Belina was forced to stop. Giving her a questioning look, Belina opened her mouth but Martha forestalled her.“I will go in, Belina, I sure cannot come here and not go in to see the kids, but before we do, there is someone I will like for you to meet again.” Martha told her with a pleading gaze.Confused and slow to understand Martha’s words, Belina stared at her with a perplexed look.But to her surprise, Martha was not looking at her, her gaze was concentrated elsewhere. Following the look, Belina turned and what she saw got her flummoxed.It cannot be true! But according to her eyes and senses, it was true.Walking towards her was none other than her ex boyfriend, Tommy. “Hello Belina.” Tom called softly.With a swift look, she glanced at Martha and at that moment, Martha saw in her friend’s eyes what she had also felt that first day Tom reentered her life at the restaurant.Shock, anger, con

Love that transcends time and pain…*****Unable to look Belina in the eyes, Martha kept her gaze to the floor.“Martha?” Belina prompted with a perplexed frown.Raising her head, Martha did not bother to mask her emotions as she gazed back at her friend in pleading hopelessness and bleakness.Belina gasped loudly before covering her mouth with her hand.Martha is in love with Tommy and judging from the look of things, it seems she has loved him forever.‘Does that mean Martha has sacrificed her love for me in those days despite loving Tom also?’ Belina could not wrap her head around this.Wondering if Tom was aware of the situation, Belina glanced at him, but from the obvious way in which Tom was lost in his thoughts, it’s obvious he really had no clue. Hopeless man!Taking her gaze back to Martha, Belina raised her brows in silent questioning.“He was my best friend, Belina.” Martha said simply but in reality, she was begging her not to say a word about what she saw in her eyes.

A good ending for all… ****** Two weeks Later, Mike sent a bunch of flowers to Tom’s room at the hospital, having heard he was responding to treatment and would soon be discharged. He had also heard that with the help of his father’s team, his father was flown to London to be with his son at his critical moment. Mike felt for them but he knew they would get through it and survive together. That’s just life! It will throw you but if you are willing to stand again, everything will work out. Liza had heard him on the phone when he was ordering for the flowers and she had thought the flowers were to wish Tom a quick recovery and to also cheer him up. But only Mike knew that the real reason he sent the beautiful bunch of flowers was to silently thank Tom for indirectly bringing them back together. By pointing out some home truths to Liza, he made her see what she should have known, ‘That Mike would always be there for her’. For that alone, it shows the guy had some redeeming trait

We all deserve genuine love… ****** For long moments, they looked into each other’s eyes with trusting eyes that suddenly turned passionate. Mike’s eyes flared with a knowing light and Liza gave an unconscious gasp. Mike grinned as he lightly pushed her to continue walking to the car! “You always seem to be surprised every time I make my love and passion obvious, why?” He had always wanted to ask her. “I don’t know, Mike. Maybe because I never truly believed you could really love me, so I am always surprised when I see the evidence of it.” She admitted softly. Mike did not say anything to that as he opened the door for her to go in. Then he circled the car to join her and only then did he turn to look at her. “But that’s bullshit, babe. I have been showing you nothing but my love since we started dating.” Mike reminded her. “I know, Mike, but I guess it was just hard for me to believe and understand. I mean, I grew up without knowing much love, so how would I have recognized i

Give an option of doubt…*****Putting the phone back into his pocket, Mike turned to go back to Liza and that was when he saw her, watching him with a dazed look.“You heard everything, right?” Tiredly, he asked her, unable to hide it again.Liza nodded slowly.“I am sorry, Liza, but it is not what you think. I can explain, okay?” Mike was worried she might misunderstand.Again, Liza nodded slowly.“I am sure you have a reasonable explanation Mike and I promise to listen without judging you.” Liza acknowledged softly.Relieved, Mike nodded as he walked to her.“Thank you. I promise to tell you everything without hiding a word.” He embraced her soft body to him, knowing that he needed the warmth.Liza accepted his words and actions with a smile as she returned his embrace.******The following morning, Liza and Mike walked out of the old building with Martha who was holding tightly to the purple eyed, immensely bruised Tom.His left eyes were almost closed and Liza feared he might nev

Be honest with your loved ones… ******* What happened the next moment was so sudden, Mike was sure he was about to have a heart failure. “Oh my God—Oh my God—-Oh my God.” Liza kept crying. Recovering himself, Mike quickly left his seat to hold onto her shoulders. “Liza? Are you okay? Talk to me.” He saw the distressful emotion she was in and he could not bear it. It’s a fact that whatever affected Liza would get to Mike. Her joy and sadness were equally part of him. “I totally forgot, Mike. I did not mean to, but I forgot. I am a bad person. A very bad evil lady.” She cried softly while holding onto him. “Whatever it is Liza, we will get through it together, but I will not accept any disparaging word on your person. You are not a bad person and neither are you evil. So right now, I want you to take a deep breath and tell me what this is all about.” A little bit calmed by Mike’s reasonable voice, Liza took a calming breath. “It’s Tom, Mike, I totally forgot about him.” Liza exp

Apologies don't make you less of a man… **** Helping each other to dress up four hours later after a short nap on his office sofa bed, Liza sent a smug smile across to Mike. “You need to apologise to your staff Mike, they did not deserve the treatments you have been melting out on them.” Liza pointed out and Mike groaned. He did not have to ask Liza, he should have known Stella would tell her all about it. “I am serious, Mike, you need to apologise. Just imagine if any of your staff is acting unprofessional just because they are going through a lot at home. Would you accept that, even if you try to be understanding towards their plight?” Liza demanded to know. “I am the boss, Liza, it is different.” He pointed out arrogantly, trying to cover up. but he knew she was right. ‘That’s the thing about Liza, she was always almost right.’ He thought fondly with another groan. “No Mike, there is nothing different about it. They are humans and if you are truly the man I know you to be, I

A forgiving spirit is a kind one…*******Typing furiously away at her system while equally muttering furiously to herself, Stella was not aware of the person at her desk until she heard a chuckle which made her jump in fright.“Is the building on fire or what?” Liza asked with an amused gaze while watching the different emotions flashing across the face of her former senior colleague.“Liza Stanford, you scared me.” Stella cried, turning her full glare on the innocent Liza.“Uh oh wow, take it easy with the glare okay? I’m innocent of whatever the crime was.” Chuckling, she raised her hands in mock surrender.Stella snorted, unimpressed.Innocent her foot! Whatever their boss was going through, Stella knew Liza had a hand in it and even if it’s not in Stella’s place to say it out loud, she just hoped they could settle whatever it was between them.Having been married for several years now, she knew it was not always smooth sailing between couples.Just look at her and her husband Leo

Correct your mistakes once you know it… ******At the other end, Liza kept staring at the silent phone in her hand. Mike had dropped the call. Without telling her it was a joke. Which meant that truly, he was pushing for a divorce? ‘No way! Over my dead body.’ She swore violently as she ran to the bathroom. Almost tearing off the clothes on her body, she hurriedly lathered the washing clothes with soap as she switched on the shower, full blast. Dressing with haste, five minutes later, Liza was walking down the stairs, smartly dressed in one of her office clothes. But before she could cover the last step, one of the maids walked in from the hallway to greet her respectfully. “Good afternoon, Mrs. Stanford.” “Good afternoon Mary. I am on my way out and I might not be back for a while.” She said in a distracted tone while checking her bag to make certain she had all she wanted. “Oh okay Madam, but I was just on my way upstairs to tell you there is a visitor at the door asking fo

A disappointed heart is always heavy…****Glaring fiercely at the door of his office, willing any of his staff to walk through the door so he could at least have an excuse to vent his frustrations, his eyes caught the favourite coffee mug on his table and picking it up, he threw it violently at the wall and the smashing sound gave him a momentary satisfaction.At that exact moment, the Head of Sales Department was on his way to discuss the latest marketing pitch with the boss after deciding to brave the lion’s then. Even his colleagues had teased him when he casually told them he was in to see the boss.There had been teasing calls about his head and they had all laughed, saying by the time Mike Stanford was done blasting him off, his considered small head would become bigger as it rolled on the floor. Someone had even said he was sure he would come out without his tongue in his mouth.Of course, he had scoffed disdainfully, not giving them the chance to see his fear.Only the Head o

The surprise package…*****Liza dismissed the maid and, turning with a determined step, she hurriedly walked to the door just as the person pressed the bell again. Liza groaned ferociously as she pulled the chain from the back of the door.“Who the hell are you that you want to bring down the whole house just to get what you want?” Liza blasted the person with furious eyes even before the door was completely open.The short bald man that was standing at the door blinked owlishly up at her, surprised by the unexpected attack.“I—I didn’t--hmm aha…” The man stopped coughing slightly but when he took a little glance up, he saw Liza was still furious, so he dropped his eyes to try again.“I—I’m—sorry madam. I was just trying to do my job.” He stammered in a voice that was a bit scared.Liza glared the more upon hearing this silly talk. “Excuse me? You mean your job is to disturb my peace?” “No—No—of—course not, madam. I was just trying to get the attention of whoever is in the house.” H
