My Boss, My Boyfriend Chapter 169
Always a fool for love…*****Seeing that Mike was waiting impatiently for her response, she gave a short nod of her head.“Yes, I have enough on my cards, thank you. But…hmm, since I am not familiar with this area, I was hoping we could go together?” Liza asked tentatively, certain he was going to reject her request.Mike is a proud person and considering the way she had been treating him these past days, he was sure to be getting tired of her presence in his life.Mike was perplexed.‘After behaving as if I was a ghost living with her for three days, she now want me to follow her to town for shopping? Can women be more complicated than he thought?’ Mike wondered in amazement as he took away his eyes from Liza to once again stare across the waves.Telling herself she was not surprised by his action and rejection, Liza gave a brief smile that failed to reach her eyes.“I understand. Of course I will go alone if you will arrange a boat pick up.” She told him softly before turning to go

A show of love can disarm hatred… ******* Tired of her own thoughts, Liza glanced out of the window of the cab, intent on distracting herself with the views. Few minutes later, she gave a small gasp. “What the heck!” She cried, and then, tapping on the seat of the driver, she shouted for him to stop. “Stop, stop this car right now.” She kept shouting. “What?” Almost jumping out of his skin by the unexpected reaction from the crazy woman he carried in his cabbie, the driver had to control his hands on the wheel before expertly bringing the car to a stop at a safe distance. Turning furiously to glare at her, he demanded hotly. “Are you crazy, woman? Do you want to get us killed?” But he got more stumped when he got no response. The woman was busy shoving dollars at him even as she was intent on opening the door. Watching her departing back as she promptly left in a flurry, he glanced down at the money she shoved at him and he blinked. “Who in their right mind will pay hundred

Misery loves company…******Then, as if both of them were in a competition, they kept tossing back drinks without hesitation.Once Liza saw Mike draining another glass of spirit, she would immediately splash herself a portion of Martini from the bottle she had snatched from Mike and glaring at him, she would toss it down her throat.They kept at it for a long time and it was not a wonder they found they were both drunk an hour’s later.“Me…men…a…are…scum.” Liza slurred pityingly as she guffawed.“To…total…non…sense. Not…all…men… are scum, Liza, it’s the one you knew.” Mike also slurred out.“The ones…” she murmured with correction even in her bad shape.“Pardon? The…the…ones…what?” Even in his bad state, he picked the murmured words.“The ones…I…knew. It was not just Tom, you are also a scum.” Anger made her to finish the last without stammering.“Ouch, that…hurts…Liza.” He told her with a sad look and Liza almost kissed him.Almost!“My…only…offence…was…loving you.” Staggering to si

Lovers should never accuse others wrongly…******Cooking Liza’s favourite meal of chicken and pasta, Mike grinned when he heard the sounds that indicated she was finally awake and coming down the stairs.He fixed his penetrating blue eyes on the door, anxiously waiting for her appearance.After breakfast, he was going to make sure she never doubted his love again.Moving forward henceforth, it would be smooth sailing.Remembering how they had been so carried away by their passion, they had gone skin to skin without any form of protection between them, Mike smirked.Even now, it’s possible he has already buried his seed deep within Liza’s belly. Imagining a grey eyed boy and a blue eyed girl, he grinned from ear to ear, anxious to share the expectation with Liza.Knowing the exact moment, she came to the doorway, he glanced across the room and smiled tenderly into her eyes.“Good morning babe.” He dropped the plate he was holding to meet her across the room, and because he was so abso

The honeymoon should never be over…******When Mike heard Liza using the word honeymoon, a sardonic glint came into his eyes.“Honeymoon?” He scoffed but did not say more than that.“Is it business that’s calling for you in London city?” Liza was yet to get it. For her, the place was so different from London, she thought they should enjoy it for a while.“Frankly speaking, I don’t intend to spend an extra hour in this dark hole if I can help it. So, under this circumstance, I feel it is imperative to leave right away. Please, be ready by 5pm as the boat will be coming to pick us up for our six o’clock flight.” Without waiting for her response, he left quietly. He knew she got the point already.Watching his departing back, Liza could only ask herself this question repeatedly.‘What have I done?’‘What in the hellish name have I done?’ She could not find the answer to her question though.*****Sometimes in the mid night, exactly at past twelve, their plane landed in the London Heath

A special gift for a special someone…*****The man smiled boyishly, obviously a lover of good intentions.“You might not have ordered for one but your husband felt otherwise, so he contacted me. Henceforth, I will be taking you everywhere you want to go.” He told her calmly.Looking at the tall and capable looking man with his gentle face, Liza did not doubt his capability but still, there was a reluctance in her eyes.“Any problem, madam?” Attentive, he noticed her reaction to his news.“Hmm, not that I doubt your words, Collins, but I don’t even have a car yet. I mean, my old car is still at the mechanic’s place, so employing you so suddenly seems odd.” She finally explained her thoughts.“But you have a car, ma’am, I drove it down here from the showroom where I left Mr. Stanford a short while ago.” He explained with a laugh.“I have a car? You drove it down here?” Liza was not sure they were on the same wavelength.“Sure, Mrs. Stanford. That’s your car.” Moving a bit backward, he

Forgive and let go of the past… ***** Curious by this statement, Liza tilted her head to Tom in consideration. “I know Mike is a wonderful man but why do you say that? You even used the word lucky.” She asked him while trying to pretend his answer was not important. “Are you seriously asking me? Liza, that guy is so in love with you, even a blind man can see it and a deaf and dumb can smell it.” He told her with an embarrassing laugh. “He does?” Liza asked with a shocked expression on her face. “Sure, it’s so obvious to see. Don’t tell me you don’t know?” Tom watched Liza’s face with a curious look in his eyes. “Of course I know it, silly.” Liza tried to laugh it off but Tom kept looking at her curiously, so she tried to bluff it off. “I know he loves me, Tom, but you know men, you never can be so sure. Take for instance our past relationship together, I thought you loved me and we would end up together, but look at us now, I am married to another man and you are here begging f

Never betray your partner…. ******* Over at Mike’s office where he was pretending to be working, he got a brief call and he was glad for the excuse to leave his desk. “Hello boss, she is now leaving the restaurant. What should I do next?” The voice waited for his boss’s instruction. “Do Nothing! Just drive her home or to wherever she wants to go, but keep your eyes and ears open and if there is any new development, keep me updated. Make sure she does not know you are acting a dual role as bodyguard and a driver.” Mike instructed calmly. “Noted, boss. I will do as instructed.” He then ended the call just as he saw his madam rushing over to where he was parked, having waited for her to finish at the restaurant. At the other end, Mike dropped his phone while staring out of the window with bitterness in his gaze. Then he walked over to his desk again to sit. As if he was now totally a different person, a sudden change came over him and his whole look became chilling and fearful. **

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
My Boss, My Boyfriend Chapter 187
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
