Chapter 17: Breakfast
Good 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.

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
Chapter 20:BrokenI was glued in place. My knees weakened until I could no longer stand up and just fell to the floor. My tears flowed incessantly.I never thought that seeing him kissing someone else will be this hard for me. It’s tormenting me. It feels like my heart is tearing apart.W-why . . .Why is it so painful?I tightly held my chest when it ached too much. I feel like someone is clenching my heart that I can hardly breathe in its tightness. It seems that a few sharp knives had
Chapter 21:StrangeThe next day, I woke up with pain and anguish in my heart. It doesn’t lessen even a bit. And my head ached from crying all night. It was a good thing that I did not disturb the sleep of my relatives at the house. If I did awaken just one of them, I will surely be bombarded with questions that I don't know how to answer.Before leaving the house, I took medicine for a headache—how I wish mending broken hearts could be done through taking tablets too,but it didn't work.So when I
Chapter 22:CoffeeTime ran so fast because a week passed in an instant. And tomorrow, it’s already been a month since I’ve got a job.It was like only yesterday when I was accepted and it was fun to think that I had lasted this long. Because of the attitude that my boss has, no matter how long my patience is, I really find it very difficult to work with him.Fellice told me the other day it was a miracle that I was able to cope within a month of dealing with my boss. Maybe, a big part of it is that because I have feelings for him. It made me hold on to him and choose to stay with him longer than I expected.
Chapter 23: VoyageMorning came and my boss arrived half an hour earlier than what he planned. I hurriedly fix myself and couldn't even formally bid goodbye to my aunt and uncle as well as to my cousins because they were all still asleep when we left the house, heading to the airport. I just texted them and I was surprised when Maegan was up early to send me a reply."Ate, don’t forget my souvenir, huh? Just wrap Oppa Lee Min-ho."I laughed at her message. Her silliness really amazes me at times."What's funny?"I stopped giggling and quickly slipped my cellphone into the sling bag next to me. When I glanced at him, his gaze was only focused on the front with his eyebrows furrowed while driving. But why does he still look so handsome? 
Chapter 24: ImperiousA churning stomach woke me up. When I opened my eyes, the white ceiling welcomed me. Then I looked around and my forehead furrowed because I was already in a hotel room.But how did I get here? Don't tell me . . . he carried me from getting off the plane to going up here? Oh, God! That was too embarrassing! I slept too much!My stomach churned again so I get up and quickly looked for something to eat. But I couldn't find anything. I don't even know the hotel's food service line either. So I don't have a choice but to dine out.I wore a thick cardigan before leaving the room. I think it is winter season here in Korea so the wind breeze is freezing cold.I immediately headed to the restaurant when I got off at the hotel. I didn't even bother to check at my
Chapter 25: JealousIn the following days, I was always just tailgating to my boss as well as Traise while overseeing the construction of the C-Mall and C-hotel. Both of them are hands-on and I can see how serious they are with this project. And that’s what impresses me whenever the two of them are working together. So I am trying my best to help them in the way that I can.For two consecutive days, they did the planning together with the Engineers and Architect that were assigned for the project, and then they went for a site tour. From time to time, I get involved in their conversation especially when I am asked for ideas, and then bring them some snacks. But often, I am just beside them silently listening while waiting for them to finish.On the third day, their schedule was a bit loose except for my boss who was still talking on the phone from time
