I never know that the lady in Mr. Stanley's office this morning was his mother, I just thought it is one f his client. So I don't feel anything for myself showing in front of them. When he told me to bring his coffee and juice I just follow what he said. Feeling tired for this day I did not wait for my boss to go out in his office because I don't want to go home with him again. Well, I just wanna avoid being alone with him because I am not yet ready to answer if he asks me about what I thought the things he said before. Though I already thought it through I just want to let it happen a little longer. I take a cab to go home. By the way, I don't know why but the driver that was assigned for my transport before is no longer my driver now because he was back to Josh's parents for some reason. So to commute is my solution going to work every day if it is not for Mr. Stanleys occasional offer to drop me I would be taking a cab or taxi always. While sitting quietly looking outside t
I woke up in my usual waking time and done my morning routine. After doing my morning routine I prepare myself to go to work. I want to catch Cass this morning so that she won't be taking a cab in going to work. I got inside my car and slowly drove towards the apartment of Cass. From afar I can see she is standing near the roadside. I smile to myself I am right in time. I pull over right in front of her. " Goodmorning, Hop in let's go together in the office," I said looking at her while smiling which makes my dimple visible to her. Damn, she smiled back to me, it's so fascinating to look at. " Goodmorning J-Josh...," she stuttered. It reminds me of the things that we talk last week during our dinner. I don't want her to feel awkward to me. So I would just let that conversation set back to let her think it properly. She gets in my car and puts on her seatbelt. I started the car after seeing her seatbelt was put on. We arrived at the parking lot of the company. We get out together and
I sit down after getting back from Josh's office, While working my mind was not focus on what I am doing instead, I was thinking about what would be Josh's mother's likes and dislikes. If I had to organized her birthday, I have to know that coz it is the most important thing to know, for it is her birthday. I sigh, first time in everything with this job, I unconsciously looked at my table calendar it's on the last day of this month and today is just the fifteenth day of the month so I still have fourteen days to prepare, I can do this. I miss my parents even if we are not the kind of a loving family, I sometimes think of them if how are they doing there. I wish I have a family at least a relationship is like how Josh and his parents are. I have an opposite kind of family which is even greetings on my birthday was not in their vocabulary. Will, I was used to it. Were not one of those families that go to church together and when the priest said to see each other as a sign of peace, th
Yesterday, I did not get to catch Cass in the office. I just want her to go home with me. But I did not get lucky so I ended up going home without her on the ride. I used to us going home together even if it is just on the ride but It makes me feel that I belong to her and that we belong to each other. I know she needs to talk to me regarding the details of my mother's birthday. I woke up early to do my morning routine, I planned to go pick up Cas in her apartment before going to the office this morning. It is so early that it is impossible not to catch her in her house. After doing the usual things I do in the morning, I began to ready myself for work. I got out of my house and get in my car then drove away. I arrived at Cass apartment, I park my car in front then I get out of my car to knock on her door. I did not hear anyone from inside but I just waited for a moment, just then I hear some movement on the door from inside. I see Cass peak first before widening the open sp
I put my bag on the top of the table in my living room when I heard a subtle knock on the door. I subconsciously look at the room where Liz was currently inside. I am thinking maybe she is expecting a visitor. I walk towards the door and open it a little just exactly to peak my head first to know who is on the door this early, only then do I realize that it's Mr. Stanley," Oh! Goodmorning, C-come in, I am about to prepare for our breakfast when I heard a knock," I said without tearing my eyes on his face. He is so dashing and handsome he wore a navy green suit today that makes him more attractive. Seeing how he looks sends butterflies in my stomach. I was surprised by his arrival but I did not ask him directly. I ushered him towards the living room and called out Liz just to let her know there's someone in the house. I ask him what's his purpose for coming this early but his answer was beyond my imagination that makes me blush but send warmth inside me. I don't want to
I was annoyed by my mother's deed this morning of testing Cass if she is not pretentious. When Morris told me what my mother asks him to do, I want to stop it but I know Cass is not like what my mothers want to prove. I know my judgement is right and I can't be wrong. I did not hinder my mom from trying to give a car to Cass using my name because I want my mom to respect her like how I want them to treat her. Though I let them do it but some part of me felt guilty of letting them do it. I hope if she would know it later she would understand me. It is about time to go home and I want to tell Cass to go home early today, I walk to the door of her office and knock. But I did not hear a response soI decided to open it and peak first only to see her so focused on work. I open the door and just watch her working while I lean on the door frame of the door. She didn't notice my presence until it is time to go home and I can see she is starting to tidy her things. When she picked up her bag,
The days had passed as quickly as the blinking of our eyes, and every day working and talking to Josh makes us even closer to each other, like best friends sharing some life experiences, giving each other advice, sometimes talking and laughing to each other. But all of that, I did not realize until now. I just go with the everyday flow of my life. When we forgot to check the time and realize it later, it was already dozens of days that we missed to count. Today is not an exception, it is more than dozens of days had passed because today is the thirtieth day of the month. And it's Josh's birthday that she ask me to organize in advance which I already did. I hope nothing went wrong and the birthday party will be successful hopefully. I was preparing myself in my room sitting in front of my vanity mirror. I put on light makeup and lipstick which is not exactly red just the right color for my complexion. I dressed in a rosewood silk dress, that has the thinnest straps that hung quite lo
Josh POV I began to panic when I saw her unreadable expression after hearing what I ask her. I choose this time to make it as a gift for my mother. I know my mother was longing for this matter and now that I let her witness this I'm sure she would be happy. I can also see that my parents are okay if Cass will be my girlfriend. She is just staring at me without moving which made my panic grow even more. I saw her blink her eyes and look around her then back at me. She stands up while her eyes are still fixed on mine, that's the time that I walk towards the place where she is. I was afraid that she would run away from here. When I am in front of her I put my hands on her shoulder," Please? Give me a chance to prove myself that not all people that have the status like me are judgemental, bad-tempered. I promise I won't hurt you," I pleaded. " Okay," is all she uttered but it's just fine for now later I have all the time to confirm it. " Is that mean you accept to be my girlfrie
Cass POV I was like hit by a flash of lightning upon hearing him ask the question that I am not ready to answer yet. I don't want to embarrass him in front of many people. My mind was struggling to form an answer for that. When I saw him walk in my direction, every step he made makes my heart beat rapidly. When he told me that he is not like the other rich people who are difficult to be with. I saw his eyes pleading while convincing me of those words. Honestly, I had left with no choice but to answer him the answer that he wants to hear. The happenings tonight make me unsettled. I was thinking about what would be my next life after this night. I can say that his mother was happy to hear us become together. But there's part of my mind ask like, are they really genuine with the attitude they're showing me this time? When his mother said what they want me to call them, I was shocked that I uttered an answer that I thought I only said in my mind only to realize that I say it out
The family of three with Cass to make it four persons eating, chatting, and laughing at the dining table of the Stanley house was so harmonious to see. Josh was so happy today because he really achieved his goal to bring Cass for dinner in his parent's house and so as the coming dinner on the coming next months or occasion. Their relationship was getting better every day but they don't know that there is a coming storm that would shake their relationship more than they expected. The dinner ended a little longer this time because they don't realize that they're taking too much time on it because they are happily chatting with each other. After dinner, Josh drove off to Cass's apartment. While in the car they don't talk much and it did not take long they arrived in front of Cass's apartment. He also goes back to his villa after sending Cass. Today Josh was so tired that after going inside his bedroom, he take a shower and drop his body on his soft bed, and when his head
Josh POV I was so amused that I almost forgot that I was talking to her on the other line. Today is her day off so I called her thinking she was already up, but I didn't expect that it was almost ten o'clock in the morning that she is still sleeping. I was just teasing her when I told her that she would go out of her bed to open the door for me, but she did not let me finish speaking when she hung up the phone. I thought she was that sleepy so I did not call her again just to let her sleep a little longer. But when my phone rang and I saw her calling I have my initial guess and it was confirmed when she said that I fooled her. After I laugh out my amusement for her, I comforted her which it take a lot of effort to comfort her. Until now, while I was looking at the content of the documents that were piled up on my table, my mind is still on the conversation I was with her a while ago. I tried to shrug it off but it continue to surface in my mind. After
Cass POV It was one month now from Josh's mother's birthday and is also the day of our first monthsary. Josh and was getting well, he is sweet, caring, and thoughtful to me. I didn't see a reason not to accept him because even his family welcome me by treating me well. This one month of being his girlfriend is making me weak in front of him. I felt being protected when I am beside him. During work, we are professional in front of others but when we are alone we are boyfriend and girlfriend. The more days we spent together the more my feelings towards him became clearer. It never occurred in my mind that I would become the girlfriend of my boss not even in my dreams. Today is my day off and I was awakened very early that it is just three o'clock in the morning and here I am staring at the ceiling for about an hour. I don't know why but my eyes can't go back to sleep anymore which really happens to me. I grab my phone to play hoping sleepiness will come back after a while of p
It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when I was done digging those files, I lean my back on my chair to relax the stiff that I feel from my back. I saw my phone from the side and check if there's a message that I did not hear because of being too focused on my work. I am not mistaken I have a message and it was from Cass. When I open it, she was asking if I have any allergies to food. I felt a warmth reading her message. I decided to call her, when the call gets through the line I was answered by a hoarse voice that seems like just woken up from sleep. I ask her if I have disturbed her but she said it's okay. Maybe she was really sleepy that's why she decided to be absent from work today. I told her that I have an allergy to peanuts and that's all. We did not speak that long for I have a meeting to attend so I end up the call and promise to come in her place after work. I am excited to end this day because of her invitation for dinner and I also plan to get her something lat
Cass POV I felt the sun rays spreading their warmth across my skin as it pecked through the window, as I had forgotten to close the blinds last night. I open my eyes and look a the ceiling and the memories of last night flooded my mind, I realize that we are now an official couple started last night. Ugh, I subconsciously wipe my hands off my face that reminds me he kissed me. Oh, that was my first kissed its been taken away by him. I felt my cheeks burning with that thought, how would I face him. Last night I was like floating in the air after everything that happens because I can't believe what happen is like a flash of lightning. I woke up a little late today but I felt not in the mood to go to the office today because I don't know how I could handle my boss was now my boyfriend? What the heck was going on with my life. After thinking too much about the happenings last night I slowly get out of my bed and walk to the bathroom. Maybe I just need a shower to wake me up tota
Josh POV I can't explain how I felt this time, I can say my plan for today was very successful. Cass and I become official and my plan to do it on my mother's birthday for the purpose of making her happy was successful too. After I send Cass to her apartment I did not go back to my parent's house. I go home to my villa, I want to be alone while thinking. I want to celebrate our relationship but maybe after one month, I would surprise her. I arrived at my villa, it is dark because betty is in the mansion so I am literally alone in my house this time. I park my car in the garage then entered the house and turn n the lights. I walk to my mini bar to our a glass of wine for myself before going into my bedroom. While sipping the wine a thought came to my mind, I am now a man that has a girlfriend. That thought makes me smile, I really come to this moment like an idiot smiling alone while thinking a girl. Is this really like this? I sigh and stood up to go to my bedroom. I remove
