Chapter 11: Tempting
"Are you really well, Ate?" Maegan asked me with a tinge of concern in her voice. She and Tita Beatriz— who is now at the billing station to pay for my hospital bills, took over on staying with me this morning after my boss left.
“Yes, Mae. That's your third question since the doctor left earlier,” I muttered, laughing after getting dressed. I folded the hospital gown I was wearing as I was admitted here and then laid it on the white bed.
I feel much better now. After taking the medicine earlier, my fever subsided. My foot is no longer swollen. That is why the doctor has allowed me to go home.
Chapter 12:Commotion Shit, Lura! Are you really that thirsty to have a taste on your boss that you're giving the motive?! Be demure, will you?! I chastised myself after being embarrassed about what just happened. This is not the first time that we’ve almost kissed and I admit, I've been quite aggressive. I just don’t know why I’m always initiating us to do that. Maybe, just maybe, I’m really attracted to him. I harshly heaved a sigh and then calmed myself down before adjusting my seat. I didn’t bother to open my eyes because I’m not yet ready to face him. I just pretended I was asleep and let him take me somewhere. Until I felt the car had stopped. "Hey, woman . . . I know you're not asleep. Get your ass out of the car. We're here," he rudely demanded. I grunted and quickly open my
Chapter 13:Call"We're here."Yeah, we are here—so fast that I did not even realize we had stopped in front of the house. Our whole trip was so quiet that even though we were always like that every time I was in his car, I was still not used to it. And this time, it’s different because there seems to be a heavy atmosphere between us which I could not figure out why.I just put it aside at the moment and heaved a deep sigh."Thank you for the ride and the dress, sir. I'll go ahead," I bid goodbye to him and was about to open
Chapter 14: Self–Control“I’m sorry for snapping at you earlier. See you tomorrow, Elise. Good night . . .”That was the last thing my boss told me before he cut off the line. I’ve got stupefied. And that keep me up all night because it echoed in my head over and over again. So the next day, I woke up late and felt so exhausted."Oh, Ate?" Maegan greeted me when I got down in the living room. She is sitting on the sofa with his brother Kurt while watching a children’s TV show. "Why do you look like that? Didn’t you sleep well last night? You look like a zombie,” she added with a hilarious l
Chapter 15:SwayMy boss kept his word. He exactly woke me up when the car stopped at theU-Luxury Hotel. And as we got out of the car, the dazzling flash of cameras from a lot of media greeted us.I was suddenly embarrassed by the number of people surrounding us, so I quickly hid behind sir Gavin. Then I felt his arms wrapped around my waist and block my head with his other arm while we are going inside the hotel. It was only then that I breathed a sigh of relief as we finally entered the Banquet Hall where the party was to be held.“Are
Chapter 16:EcstaticI was not in my right mind when I get into sir Gavin's car. Currently, we're now heading home. And I am not sure if we bid goodbye to our friends because honestly, I'm not literally with myself right now. Since we danced earlier, I felt like I was high in ecstasy. I didn't even know how I'd performed that dance as he hugged me in his arms.That exact moment, I felt like I was bound in a spell. I was lost in a paradise. Got stuck in there and I am torn into staying or going back to where I suppose to be. Then, all of a sudden, his lovely face with a sweet smile plastered in his lips showed up to me, making my heart pounded so loud and fast . . . again and again and again. Until I am
Chapter 17: BreakfastGood morning! I'm on my way there. See you :)My heart fluttered automatically and I couldn't stop smiling while reading that message. He really meant what he said last night. I thought it was just a dream. He's indeed serious and he is on his way right now.“See you too, sir. Please take care,” was my reply to his message and after I sent it to him, I hurriedly got out of the room.Even though I didn't sleep much last night thinking about what happened yesterday from there to the hotel until returning home, I still woke up early. Maybe it's because of my excitement for today.I was about to go to the kitchen to help my aunt prepare breakfast when the doorbell rang.&nb
Chapter 18: Astound"You're really going with us to go to church, sir? You can still change your mind. They haven't been able to leave yet," I confronted him when he agreed to Tito Ronel’s invitation earlier after we had eaten breakfast."Why? Do you have a problem with that?"I quickly shook my head because I can hear the annoyance in his voice."Then, this conversation is over," he mumbled and then opened his car door. "Now, hop on,” he ordered me.I don’t have a choice but to follow him. So, I just took a deep breath and didn't complain anymore. I don't want us to argue any further. We might be stuck in the traffic and won’t be able to attend the first mass.I just sat quietly next to him while looking outside the window. A few
Chapter 19:Blinded It has been two weeks. Two fucking weekssince that incident happened that made me astonished. Who wouldn't be? IfLucio Gavin Cradford—a damn hot CEO, my freaking bosskissedme? Yes! He kissed me! And up until now, I can still remember how his soft lips touched mine. That even
