Chapter 6: Trey
Both of us were just quiet the whole ride. His full attention was fixated on the road while I looked outside the window of the car—watching the scenery we passed by. Until I felt my eyes becoming heavy. Then, eventually, I fell asleep.
"Hmm," I hummed and slowly opened my eyes when I heard a clicking sound.
I softly rubbed my eyes to get my vision back because it was a little bit hazy. Then I slowly turned around to the driver's seat. But I was stunned to see that the person sitting beside me was gone. When I looked outside, I immediately spotted my boss who is now at the entrance of a Chinese restaurant.

Chapter 7:Desire We are now at the basement ofthe C.C.I towerwhere the parking space is located. He slammed the door of the car shut as he got out. I don't know what made him disgusted or angry. I just brush it off and went out of the car. When we headed to the elevator, I thought we are going directly to his office. But I was surprised as we stopped at the infirmary. What is he going to do here? Is he sick? All of a sudden, I felt anxious. I was about to ask him when he quickly turned his back on me. I could do nothing but follow him.
Chapter 8:Gentle“What the fuck are you doing?”I quickly opened my eyes and automatically stood up when I heard his cold baritone voice. It's firm and I can sense danger in its tone. That's why my heart is pounding so fast.Suddenly, I was sweating cold. I just bite my lower lip as my hands were shaking. Even my knees softened. I felt like I was a criminal who get caught doing something illegal and unethical.I looked away. “S-sir. . .a-ah. . .I. . .” I stuttered, unable to find an exact word to say.Then sec

Chapter 10: ResponsibilityLura Elise“W-water. . .” I hardly muttered as I felt my throat dry up.It feels like I haven’t drunk anything for days. I’m also feeling hot and my whole body is aching so badly that I can’t even open my eyes."Hey, are you awake?”I gulped when I heard someone speak beside me.That voice. It’s definitely . . . my boss.I swallowed hard again when I recognized that voice and I even feel a lot hotter when the steam of his fragrant breath touched my neck.With all my might, I forced myself to open my eyes just to confirm if my hunch is true. However, I’ve got disappointed when I saw a white ceiling instead of his face.&nb
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
