Chapter 11 Accepting the Job
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Anita Pov...
Lauren's offer is not bad at all, why don't I try it? Maybe it's not hard to get along with her boss. I'll tell grandma that I accepted her offer and am ready to start. This probably be the beginning of life aligned for us. I need to send a message to Lauren. She'll be happy to know I will work with her company."Lau, I will take that opportunity you offered me. I already talked to grandma and we decided to find a babysitter for Alex while I'm at work." I texted her."YESSS!… Thank you so much, cousin. I love you 3000. You save me, we don't want to lose the opportunity given to Jacob. We will wait until his promotion, then will be back here for good. That's their offer, good for Jacob but not so much for me." She replied ecstatic and bit sad needing to leave her job."Still a clown Lau. I love you too, so I will help you, and most of all I love Alex so much, I will start saving again for us." I replied with a laughing emoticon. I'm relieved that I'll not be a burden to my grandmother."I miss this Annie! Your tough side! My tough cousin of mine who is always has a strong fighting spirit. I never thought, only Alex will change you forever. You definitely walk out of your comfort zone!" She teases. The feminine side is my cover."Yes, cousin, I thought I would hate him for coming into my life, but when I saw and hugged him I was thrilled that I didn't want him to be separated from me." I reckoned. Alex changes me which I never thought I could do."Just remember Annie, we're just here for you. Even if, I'm far away, I'll fly just for you. I can be your Batman or Superman. I just hope one day you're going to tell Uncle Jack about Alex not too soon. Don't wait for him to walk and speak because I'm sure you won't like that. Your child is a smart kid and you will not keep him in the dark forever." She reminded me again. I will remind myself every day about that."Thank you for reminding me what I always forget. I'll put that as my top priority, Lau." I skim taking her reminder and advice. I appreciate what she did for us as well.Lauren is right, I have to face dad for my peace of mind and the sooner is better. I must forget my dreaded version. I have to be strong, brave, and combative for Alex. Alex baby, I love you so much. You alone are enough to ponder. You're the source of my strength and happiness."Sweetheart, the granddaughter of one who used to take care of our mango plantation is coming today. She will take care of Alex while you are at work. That girl is kind and caring so you can hope that Alex will not be neglected." Grandma informed me."Yes, grandma. Thank you. Lauren said I'll start my training tomorrow." I replied."Oh, that's great sweetie. I trust you that you can handle that." Grandma said happily. I trust myself too. Two years is enough!"I love you grandma for always being there for me." I hugged her tight. The best grandma. I wouldn't achieve this perfect motherhood without her guidance.I feel the urge to run to my mom and cried on his lap, I miss you so much mommy! I sighed and cried again. My mom is the one I always run into whether I’m ecstatic or solitary. Just a hug and a kiss from her erases everything that bothers me.Mommy, I really miss you. I hope you will not hate me there looking at my mistake. I'm sorry mom. I'm not proud of what I did but I am happy.I caress my son’s face while he is asleep. I'm lucky to have this handsome child in my life. I like his eyes which are strange in color. His eyes are blue with long, thick lashes. His lip was thin and reddish, which he probably got from his father because my lip was a bit fuller.Son, I love you so much, you will always remember that. Hopefully, when you grow up, you won't look for your father because I don't know where to find him. Son, forgive me, only my love and care is the biggest thing I can give you as long as I live. I want you to grow up to be an obedient, kind, and God-fearing man. I am only here to support you on your life's journey. I love you so much, my child. I kiss his cheeks and forehead good night before going to my bed.I sit for a while thinking about what happened to my life and what will happen in the future. This is not the life I dreamed of, but I have to face the twist of it. As long as Alex is safe nothing to worry about.I will work hard and save for us to travel around the world maybe, that's my previous life, wandering. Definitely, the best dream I had for now from having Alex in my life. I still wish I would meet that man again. I don't hate him now. I want to thank him for giving me a precious son. This was the life I was supposed to have with Erik before but fate and cupid are not with us.Before, I cried when I remember that night, but now every time I think of it I had a wide smile plastered on my face. At least I experienced something like that. Maybe that night wasn't a mistake but a heads-up for me.Damn! Why am I feeling like this again? It's a crazy and disturbing thought suddenly vandalizing my innocent mind. Pull yourself together Anita! No time for daydreaming. I mumbled before closing my eyes to sleep. Tomorrow is not an ordinary day to look like a panda. I need to look presentable and perfect for her boss. Who knows what he likes or prefers to be his secretary?Related chapters
Please Be Mine Chapter 12 Meeting the Handsome Boss
Anita Pov...We arrived at the Hotel where Lauren is working and I'm anxious to meet her boss. Yesterday I was excited to come here but today I had a bad feeling stepping into this hotel was a mistake. I hope he is kind and we get along. I keep on sighing anxious anticipating the tick of the time.I'm used to being the boss, not the one who orders or serves other people. I have to do this not just because of Lauren and Alex, but for myself. I need to move forward to our future, even if it's at a slow pace as long I arrived at my destination."Good morning Sir Alejandro. She's the new secretary that I will train for the last week working with you." Lauren greeted when the boss arrived.I almost opened my mouth to say WHAT THE FUCK! SHIT! I never thought my boss to be this dangerously handsome. My folds down there are screaming like hell. Shit! He's a goddess sent from above! His looks and package were perfect! His eyebrows are thick as if they were intentionally sculpted, his thin lip
Please Be Mine Chapter 13 Seeing Her
Alejandro Pov... I'm surprised when Lauren introduces my new secretary. I almost scream to see her, I tried to mask how ecstatic I am not to spoil the day. When I woke up this morning it was a wonderful and inviting feeling. This must be the reason. The excitement is killing me that I called Rex unknowingly.She was busy drooling and didn't catch any trace of pleasure in my eyes. The way she looks at me I can see she is mesmerized with the looks everyone is crazy about me but sweet Lauren has her own way to interrupt! I didn't expect to see her here and most to be my secretary. What a small world, after a year of searching the universe for her it pays off to see her perfectly stunning and sexy. She's better than intoxicated. Though she was still fabulous that night!I saw her ogling at me and she's damn cute. I want to pull and kiss her, but I controlled myself. She seems bothered meeting my eyes but doesn't recognize me. It's an interesting start rather than being crazy looking aro

Anita Pov...I played with Alex when I got home before going to bed, but I can't sleep thinking of my boss. This weird feeling is making me anxious. I feel like my feet are slowly dipping into the pit of mud accepting this job and I can't get out! What should I do? I shouldn't accept this job in the first place but no turning back now. It's fucking dangerous. I shudder thinking about the worse scenario. I hope I can hold on a little longer before Lauren comes back. Work is not a problem to me but working with him is my biggest problem. Those smiles and stares still creep me like hell. Even her voice makes me weak and wants to submit eagerly which is odd. What's into him that I'm affected like this? I have to avoid staring at her face, especially his damn hypnotizing eyes. His eyes invite you to danger easily laced with magic to elope with. I don't want to dive for another hell of a mistake. I still need to face dad, it terrifies me to think how will he takes in what I went through y
Please Be Mine Chapter 15 Embarassing Moment 1
Anita Pov...Ever since Lauren left me to work with this hot CEO, my life turns like a hurricane. I barely handle him. I always want to run away from him. His smile tells me something that makes me shiver. Every time his near me my mind travels somewhere else trying to figure out, who the hell is he. Is he a witch manipulating my mind and my body? I already think I'm crazy! I tried my very best not to look into his damn hypnotizing eyes. Every time he calls me to give a report or ask something, he always manages to touch the tip of my fingers which gives a thousand sparks enough to weaken your knees. Damn him! I cursed while slapping my face when a baritone voice startled me."Oh god! Sir Rex stop doing that! You almost give me a heart attack." I spat catching my breath, startled by his approach."Sorry Annie, why are you slapping your beautiful face anyway? You should stop that. By the way, is he in today?" He asks with his signature smirk. After two years of working with them, I al

Rex Pov...I'm not dumb not to see changes from Alejandro. Though it was our dream and wishes that he will settle down. I'm just not used to it yet. The Casanova finally fall!He doesn't often go to the bar he uses to and limits using women. He was really busy finding her after their escapade that night. I will tease him all the time as he didn't tell me she was the woman that night.I often see him smiling and laughing alone. If others will see him they might think he's insane but hell no! He was just dramatically falling in love maybe.Yesterday was something else! The worried look on his face, when Anita picks up the broken cup, says something else. Does she like her secretary now or he was just concerned? Rex, you might imagine things, your best friend hates commitment. Maybe he wants her under him! I reminded myself. Hey Rex, shouldn't you be happy with your best buddy settling down? I called Terry to give a piece of news that might interest him or shock him!"Hey Rex buddy! How
Please Be Mine Chapter 17 Embarassing Moment 2
Anita Pov...I can't believe two years have already passed being her secretary which includes kicking every bitch leech. These annoying bitch leeches keep on chasing him like they owned him, but no one lasts a day because they are just a one-night stand to scratch his itch. Actually, it's not really hard to love Alejandro Smith, it's just that the payment of falling for him is a bitch scary. He's lovable in everything he possesses. I promised myself not to fall for his charm, but he already won the battle 'coz I can't stop myself from falling for him as well.I managed to stick myself on my desk every day to prevent myself from jumping on his lap. Just smelling his fresh scent in the morning makes me shiver itching to peek at him, but I managed not to look back and keep my eyes on the ground. Though it's really hard, my stupid body can't resist him, luckily my brain is still working. I know, no one will love me when they find out about that incident in my life four years ago. Until n
Please Be Mine Chapter 18 Office Spg
Alejandro Pov... She's working with me for two years, but never once did she look at me. Am I really nothing to her, does my charm doesn't affect her? My mind constantly asks. I was like a shadow passing in front of her everyday, even though I greet her sweetly with my captivating smile! I have nothing to say about her work. She works efficiently and cleanly. When I entered my office, the sweet aroma of hot black coffee is already there with all my itineraries. All documents must be signed and deadlines are arranged in order on my desk. The only thing she couldn't do to me was look me in the eye, so, I asked her to come to my office immediately to check if I'm really nothing to her. Success! I still remember her face last night and how she panicked looking at my face."Sir, you're calling me!" She asked after opening the door."Come here and lock the door!" That's what suddenly came out of my mouth.She looked surprised at what I said so she answered bravely with raised eyebrows and
Please Be Mine Chapter 19 Remnants of Last Night
Anita Pov...I woke up as if a truck had run through my whole body. I feel tired and exhausted out of energy breaking. My head is heavy and it's hazy. Oh my God!… I hissed looking around. I scratch my eyes to see clearly, the room is dark and I don't feel like I'm lying on my bed. I tried to stretch my hand to grab my phone. I wonder what time is it. I mouthed as I moved and the covering on my body falls off making me shiver a little. "What!" I blurted shock. Why am I still here in Sir Alejandro's office? Did I sleep here but why? I confusedly ask myself. Suddenly, what happened slowly flashed back: I cried heavily for the second time around, a man I didn't know claimed me again, but last night, I just felt like Deja Vu. Every caress he made on my body as well as how he pounded me like crazy reminds me of three years ago. But if he is the same man, what is he doing here? Manila is far from Cebu!While I'm asking a lot of questions I pick my clothes scattered on the floor and wear t

After the wedding, we both decided to travel locally for a month for our honeymoon since she was already almost four months pregnant with our twins again. For our first destination, I chose to go to Baguio, then Bulacan before Subic for our honeymoon. After almost two weeks, we plan to go to Boracay and back to Palawan. Then I suggested the last week staying in the Manila Marriott Hotel. Samantha supported us all the way and gave some suggestions. I did not allow her to return to Australia and New York and asked her best friend to take care of her business there while she was away. I will let her travel when she has already given birth and is capable of moving comfortably. At the moment, I'm still in bliss that I want to be with them and see them anytime, especially my lovely wife, who amazes me all the time.We are here today at the Baguio Country Club and this is our second day. It's nice to go for a walk, from around five pm onwards, feeling the chilly breeze and fresh smell of

Rex Pov...Now that the long-awaited day came, I felt nervous and my chest was going to explode, fidgeting. Samantha and I are getting married today, but I'm nervous and worried. Three days before our wedding, she lived with her parents, saying that we had to be apart for three days before the said wedding day.In the three days that I was not with her, I could not sleep well or eat. I miss her cooking and how caring she was. You just have to wait a few hours, Rex, you will see her. I mumbled to myself. My other two friends did nothing but laugh at me as well as my brother!"Buddy, just relax! You will see her in a while before you don't want to see her!" He mocked, jokingly."That was before!" I uttered, embarrassed."Then what about now, if that was only before?" He asked back."Because now, I love her and don't want to lose her again." I responded shamelessly, seriously looking into his eyes.He was my best friend but Samantha was her only sister. He has the right to ask! He smirk

Rex Pov...Our upcoming wedding is taking a toll on us but in a nice way. I can't be happier reaching this stage with her after the roller coaster incidents.Maybe if Samantha hadn't been persistent, we wouldn't have had a happy ending but only pain until our twins grew up. I always say no, not because of my pride, but because I didn't pay attention. But with everything that has passed in our lives, we have learned to appreciate each other before everything it's too late. I'm always scared she might get sick or hurt herself.Our wedding is next month and I can't wait to call her Mrs. Jimenez.Samantha is three months pregnant and we only spent one month preparing for our wedding. She was already five months pregnant on the very day of our wedding, so the balloon design of her wedding gown looked even better.

Rex Pov...I frown when memories of Coleen are back in my head. I really can't get her out of my life. She was once a part of my life, hiding from Samantha. I met her at a meeting with my client who is a regular customer at the Diner's Pub he owns. After a few meetings, I courted her. My courtship and our date lasted for three months. Since we share the same hobby, it is not difficult to get along. I thought I really, fell in love with her but I just now realized that I didn't love her like I loved Samantha, who I hid from my heart for a long time because of Coleen. My love and desire awakened the moment I saw her with someone else. I'm very angry because of jealousy, which I don't want to accept. I smiled again at my stupidity. I already have her, but I keep on pushing her away. I also loved Coleen but I love Samantha more. Now, I can get justice for her but a little sorry for her, since my heart has always been in love with my best friend's younger sister. I chuckled, sticking my

Rex Pov...My hunch was right. We were asleep and mom woke us up. They brought a lot of fruits and vegetables so that Samantha would have something nutritious to eat. I sighed, staring at the fruit they brought. I am not starving my wife! She asked permission to take the twins - oh no, actually, she is informing me that they took the twins and they will return when Samantha gives birth."That's not possible, mom. I've only been with them for a month, why take them away?" I protested."Rex your priority is Sam. It's not easy to get pregnant with mischievous children. When she gives birth, make twins again." She responded."Mom!" I blurted out in disbelief."What? I want grandchildren." She snorted again. Samantha was already red as a tomato."You just said it's hard to get pregnant and then you want to get her pregnant again." I protested again."Why, don't you want to have a lot of children? Isn't that what you always wanted to have a big family?" Mom sneered. Samantha's eyes widened,

After our successful get-together dinner, I left them enjoying themselves as I needed to go home. I already miss Samantha. I was in the middle of the road when Alejandro called."Hello Alejandro?" I gleamed."Where are you? Dad was supposed to bring the kids back but couldn't contact Samantha." He said. I felt nervous, clutching my chest. I'm allergic to these kinds of calls! My heart wants to jump out freakingly, nervous whilst my brain becomes stagnant and can't think quickly."What?" I exclaimed, nervous."I'm here at your house right now. See you later. I told dad to keep the kids for a while." He responded."Okay. I'm on my way, bro." I answered nervously. I was so happy just now, but now my heart feels like it's going to explode with fear and nervousness when she leaves me again. I shook that thing out of my mind, driving faster.After arriving at the condo, I took a long step to get inside. I searched the entire condo but there was no Samantha. The food I cooked was also untouc

Rex Pov...I went to work with a broad smile and energetic. Since my parents took the children, I left Samantha still sleeping. Before I left the condo I cooked her favorite food and will fetch her later to go home and see our kids. Those little munchkins I miss them so much! I hope Uncle James brings the twins back and will not ask for an extension. I miss them running towards me when I come home. Those are the precious moments I can't exchange with anything. I want to cherish these little moments while they can still be cuddled. I'm growing old scared I wouldn't be there when they needed me the most. Now, that I have Samantha beside me, I can't contain my happiness engulfing me. I wish I had been true to myself before. Loving Coleen was just my scapegoat to run away from her since she was too young for me! I am still over the moon at the sweet feeling of being loved and to love her again. I loved Coleen before but it wasn't this happy and the love I had for Samantha was not reall

Rex Pov...Uncle James took Xander and Alexa home. Mommy argued that they should be the first to take my children since they had just arrived. While they were arguing on the rooftop of the restaurant, I told Samantha to go home. Fuck! I miss her so much. I didn't know how much I missed her until that kiss I gave her. I was very anxious to pamper her again after three months when something happened in my condo. Her action at home two weeks ago in the study room was out of the box, but I enjoyed it. She really hides something obscene about herself. But it's okay as long as she does that thing only for me.I'm excited to reach home as I drive so fast. I wanted to go home but suddenly I changed my mind. I turned the car around and took her to my condo. No one is there and no one will bother us. I will mark what is mine, this time with love. I smiled and looked at her who was taking a nap. Our Hills View Paradise Restaurant is in Tagaytay, so the trip back to Manila is a bit heavy. Afte
