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
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
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
It's Sunday and tomorrow is the first day of school after the semestral break. The eighteen-year-old girl is busy preparing her luggage to bring back to the city where she's now pursuing her management course. Cass Lim is a loner person, she doesn't want to make many friends. She has only one close friend that she meets during her third year in the said university. She just comes from an ordinary family that cannot afford to buy leisure things for themselves. Cass's dream in life is to become one of the successful individuals someday. she has a simple and pretty appearance, fair skin that she inherits from her Chinese great grandparents, black and shoulder-length hair that makes her looks unnoticed in just one glance. After saying goodbye to her parents she trotted to the nearest bus station going to city A. Traveling all day can be tiring so after putting her things orderly, she drowns herself in the bathroom. Done cleaning herself she climbs up in her bed and immediately d
Inside the car, Josh was driving his way home. His mind was a little distracted by his mother's words earlier. Up until now, he did not think that someday, somehow those words would bother him. Unknowingly, josh thinks about what kind of girl could capture his heart. He doesn't want to set any standard, as long as they could get along with him, that's all that matters. To everyone's eyes, he is a cold and aloof person, unbeknown to them it's just his mask in order to steer clear of a prickly individual especially now that he is the new CEO of Stanley Manufacturing. It's already 10 pm in the evening when Josh arrives at his villa and quickly parking his car in his garage then striding inside his home. After taking a quick shower, he proceeds to his study room to finish some of his works in the company. .......... The following day seems to be ordinary to her. After her class in school, she immediately goes home to her apartment. Before sleeping she wil
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Cass and Liz were about to enter the shades bar. They're here to celebrate Cass's birthday and it's only the two of them because they're not the ones who make many friends. They don't like hanging around except if there's a special occasion that they felt like celebrating to some other place like this. After entering inside they choose the corner that has less crowded and ordered a drink for two. They just watch the people from afar while drinking silently. So they did not notice the unfamiliar figure sitting in the opposite corner where they were in. .......... Josh has always been punctual, so he came earlier than Robert agreed time. Sipping his wine he looks around but someone catches interest in his sight. The two quite beautiful ladies in the opposite corner where he sat. He silently scrutinized them from head to foot, he felt something that he couldn't explains it was. Without him knowing Robert has already found him and was also lo
Josh POV He was thinking the girl he just drop by to her home, she's beautiful and different to the other girls that he always meet. She seems not interested in him damn even in her bare face she is still attractive, simple but elegant. Something inside him says he want to know her more. But he felt erratic having this feeling he doesn't know why and what it is. The only one he know now that he did not feel this feeling before. He was lying in his bed feeling a little dizzy from the drink they take earlier. Its 2am in the morning and finally he drifted off to slumber unfortunately even in his deep sleep that face he encounter in the bar followed him in his dream. Its 10am in the morning Josh is still sleeping when his doorbel rang. He was annoyed by the non stop sound of the bell and force himself to get out of his bed, making his way to see who's disturbing his morning sleep. His mind went blank when he finally see who's in his door
Time pass by rapidly, and Cass graduation has already done. Now she has to start applying for a job that suits her studied knowledge. She never knows what is coming for her in the future, so she was thinking of applying to the most prominent establishment in these places hoping for a vacant position. For her except for the experience, all other qualifications are fit for any position. The reason why she has some sort of reluctance because she has no experience but she has to take the beat no matter what, trying is not a harmful thing to do especially in applying for a job. It's been a week after sending applications to different companies in city A including Stanley Manufacturing hoping for a vacant position that would fit her right in. Thinking about that, Cass Lim just hopes to be hired in any of them. Today's weather is good, so after pondering what to do she decided to buy some of her needs. At Stanley Manufacturing CEO office, Josh is looking through the p
The working hour would usually start at eight o'clock but today Josh come to his office an hour before the work will start, deep inside him he anticipated her this time. From the last time, they meet she is always in his mind. Sipping his coffee while occationally looking outside his wall to ceiling window, he leans his back in his chair. Cass is standing on the roadside a few meters away from her apartment waiting for a taxi to pass by, after a minute of waiting finally she hailed the taxi and got inside. She told the driver where she is going, when she arrived at the huge building of Stanley manufacturing she can't deny to herself that she was in awe and almost can't believe that she would be working in this company from now on. Upon arriving she trotted towards the front desk, but before she could speak the person in charge smiled then greet her politely, " Good morning Miss may I know who is your name please?" Cass answered," Goodmorning, I am Cass Lim

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
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
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
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
