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

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.

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

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?

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

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.

    Chapter 26: SottishIt is almost midnight and I am still wide awake. I was just tossing and turning in bed since earlier that I have eaten my dinner together with Traise. I could not fall asleep as my conscience is eating me up. It is because my boss has not returned to the hotel since he went out earlier at six.Our room is just adjacent to each other. Perhaps, he has chosen it that way so he could monitor me or what. That is why I will know if he got back already. But the other room is still quiet up until now, so I am sure he has not come back yet."Will you stop worrying, Lura Elise?! Your boss is old enough not to be worried about. He can take care of himself," I convinced myself just to calm down and then tried to turn a blind eye about him.But half an hour later, I was still not visited b

That is why her husband can now freely stare at her body. "Fuck! So lovely," Gavin mumbled as he caressed his wife’s nakedness through his gaze.
