Chapter 15Gillian's POVNow that I know that Zeyo is not gay, I'm suddenly confused. I used to feel comfortable humming because I thought he was gay, but now I'm a bit hesitant to be around him. I said I don't want to waste time because of the man, I agreed to come here as a friend and because he was kind to me."Sorry, I thought it was---" I was stunned when he put his finger on my lips to stop me from speaking."If you're the type of girl who isn't innocent, I won't use my finger to silence you," said Zeyo, "You know what, I want to kiss you now to prove that I'm not gay."I'm too stoned to speak. Kiss? I secretly glanced at my boss, who was sitting in front. He was looking at me. Wait a minute. I think no. I think he was looking at my lips with Zeyo's finger. Is what I see right? Why does he look so angry? What did I do?I hovered over Zeyo when he asked to dance. He grabbed my waist to pull me closer to him when we reached the middle. He came closer and whispered."Don't be shy t
Chapter 16I could hear nothing but screams. I don't know what kind of kiss it was, or if a kiss has any kind, I just know that I'm drowning in the way he kisses. He sucked on my lips, and our tongues fought.I caught my breath when he walked away. He was still holding my neck. Before walking away, he whispered."A gay man can kiss a woman, Secretary Gillian," he whispered and walked away. In an instant, his gayness returned."Eww! I'm not going to kiss a girl anymore," he said in a gay voice, and he sat down as if nothing had happened."You, okay?" Zeyo came and sat next to me."I want to go home," was all I said. He still wanted to take me home, but I said my friend would pick me up, and luckily he believed me.I want to get away from there. I can't breathe anymore because of the force of my chest's pounding.I quickly messaged Yunard to see if he was free because it was already 10 o'clock and I had been there for a few hours. I breathed a sigh of relief when he called and said he w
Chapter 17Zachary's POVI was in the car a while ago, and I was debating whether I should go in. I'm excited to see her, but I'm nervous. Last night I couldn't sleep, I even fucking imagine that we're together and kissing. Damn! How could I imagine such a thing? I looked like a fucking pervert!"Why am I nervous? I'm the boss here," I said to myself when I realized that I looked like an idiot in the car. I took a deep breath when I got out of the car.I was about to go straight when I thought of asking my security guard if my secretary had entered, and I was already inside when I thought of that, so I need to go back to where the guard is."Secretary Gillian isn't here yet?" I asked the security guard who was working on the logbook. He looked at me in surprise. He fixed us up and answered."Ah, sir, she is already inside," said the security guard, so I nodded.Why am I nervous? Yesterday was just a game. When an elevator opened, I was surprised to see Secretary Gillian inside, along
Chapter 18The first time I saw him, I immediately understood why Madam Anastasia wanted to make him a real man. Rich, smart, handsome, he has it all, but the fact that he is probably gay is another matter.I can't believe he believed the people around him so much that he was gay. Why is he hiding his real self? Why does he want everyone to know he's gay? I wanted to know. I clung to him as he bit my lip to insert his tongue. I tried to push him, but I don't know why, instead of a push, it turned into a caress. I was even closer to him when he lifted me and made me sit on the table.He pulled away and gave me a serious look, but his lips were still close to mine, ready to kiss me again."You were brave when you said you were going to kiss me; now this..." He smiled at me before continuing, staring into my eyes and then at my lips. "You didn't even know how to kiss."Because of what he said, I felt like I had woken up from a dream. I quickly pushed him off the table."You're not gay,"
Chapter 19"Hi, Secretary Gillian, Are you having lunch?" I couldn't walk into the elevator when I heard my name. I turned to look at that person.My eyes narrowed, and I remembered who she was. I quickly smiled when I remembered who she was. She was the one who stopped me from entering the office when Madam Anastasia was there because I might be scolded."Hi," I said, holding my neck and smiling shyly. She has companions, and they are all smiling, but one is not so much. "Yes, I'm going to have lunch." I looked at my watch and said that I still had an hour to eat.I did a lot earlier. Sir's meeting continued. Earlier, we came from outside because the meeting was held there."We'll go too. Join us," she said, so I slowly nodded and smiled again.It's better that I go with them; I've eaten alone several times. I don't have many close friends at the office; just now someone invited me with them. We went to a restaurant nearby; it was walkable because it was close. I couldn't help but sc
Chapter 20Gillian's POV"Jollibee!" I laughed when Zaji jumped when I said we were going to Jollibee. I already have a salary, so I want to take them to Jollibee."Dad, you really don't want to come?" I asked my dad, who was sitting in front and watching."No, just take out food for me," he said. I shook my head, because he was watching his favorite basketball team, so he didn't want to come with us. "Where's Yunard?" he suddenly asked, making me glance at my watch.Before I could answer, I saw Yunard coming in through our door."Kuya Yunard is handsome," Nika giggled as she glanced at me. I roll my eyes and just laugh."It's like your sister didn't find me handsome, you're just flattering me, Nika." Yunard's eyes narrowed as he said that to Nika."Haist! I don't know about you two. Come on, we might get into traffic," I said, reaching for my sling bag on the sofa."Why are you bringing them home? We can take them grocery shopping with us," Yunard said while we waited for our order.
I kept coughing when I saw Sir Zach right behind Yunard. Yunard must have felt hungry, so he asked to eat. While eating, I looked up at Yunard, but because the person behind him had my attention, I looked straight at him. "Are you okay?" Yunard handed me a glass of water when my coughing didn't stop. I quickly took it and drank it. After drinking, I slowly put it down and closed my eyes. I also adjusted my seat and once again caught a glimpse of Yunard's back. The man wearing a white polo shirt and jeans really caught my attention. He was looking at me seriously, and there was no trace of gayness in his movements. Someone was looking at him and simply whispering about him. Who can not look at him? With just one look, you can see that the clothes he is wearing are expensive, and his gold watch is flashing like he is telling everyone that he is rich. Isn't he afraid of bad people who might be blinded by his watch? What is he doing here? What is a rich CEO doing here? If he wants to
I took my phone next to me and answered mommy's call because I hadn't picked it up earlier when I followed my secretary and that guy inside the supermarket."Hello, Mom," I said while holding my nape."Where are you, Zachary? I closed my eyes and leaned back when I heard Mommy's angry voice. I put the phone and loudspeaker in front of me."There's an emergency; I can't go," I said and started the car. I glanced at the cafeteria where my secretary and the guy with her were eating.I laughed again and tightened my grip on the steering wheel when I saw that she even went back inside just for that guy."Why are you doing this, Zachary? They're all here; you're the only one who's not here! Show your grandpa some respect! You know you're going to lose your company in a little while because of your homosexuality, then this simple gathering you can't attend? Come here now, or else your grandpa really removes you as CEO of the company!""Tell Grandpa, he can take the company if he wants," I sa
"I thought he was just your friend?" I frowned when I heard that from him.As soon as I got home, the phone that I use for work rang. I even thought about not answering that when I saw Sir's name, but I couldn't do anything but answer that because there's a big possibility that it might be about work."Si--" but before I could speak, the call was cut off. What is his problem? He called, but suddenly he cut it.Again, because of that call, I felt like I had lost myself. How many times did I turn that phone back and forth, trying to call him again? But even though I called him many times, I failed because he didn't answer. The night ended, and I didn't get a call from him.***"You still won't talk to me? Why are you so cold, Secretary Gillian?" I stopped turning when he suddenly asked that.For a few days, he didn't seem to care about it, so it was surprising that he suddenly asked me about it. After the call he made, he didn't call me again, so it was very surprising when he told me t
34(eng)"Don't be hardheaded!" I felt the annoyance in Yunard's voice when I pulled the hand that he was holding.I looked at Yunard."It's so hurt!" I said, but his attention was on my finger. He was removing the little broken bottled that had sunk into my finger with the needle.I couldn't look at it, so I just closed my eyes and waited for him to finish.I breathed a sigh of relief when he had already removed the small broken bottle from my finger. But I moaned again when he suddenly poured alcohol on it."Yunard, are you angry or something?" I said, annoyed, and pulled the hand that he was holding."When are you going to tell his mom about the secret of your boss?" I looked up when I heard his serious voice.Even if I didn't ask, I immediately knew what he was talking about. I looked around before answering; fortunately, almost all the employees were doing something, so no one could hear us."I'm not in the place to say that to Madam. I-I can't say it." I looked away as she sudden
I was taken aback when I felt like I was floating and like someone was lifting me. I slowly opened my eyes. I smiled bitterly when I saw Sir's face."Zachary," I said. He frowned at me. I raised my hand to touch his face. "I'm dreaming," I said with a laugh.I held his nose and lowered it to my lips. "Dream, dream, dream," I kept saying, trying to open my eyes."I don't know where's your address, so you're here at my condo now," my spirit woke up and my eyes widened when he spoke at the same time as he laid me down on the bed.My alcohol-related headache temporarily vanished as a result of the shock of realizing that it was actually him and that I wasn't dreaming."S-Sir?" I asked in shock. He just looked at me, annoyed, and turned away. I quickly got up but sat down again when I felt dizzy."Alright, drink more! Why are you with Dexie? She's a bad influence!" He said he was annoyed."W-Where is Ma'am Dexie?" I asked in confusion: Is it right for him to tell his sister that she is a b
I was dumbfounded while they were talking to Joy. I can't get out of my mind his sudden leave after receiving a call from Mandy. Who is he? Why is Sir in a hurry?"What happened? What did he do to you?" Yunard asked seriously, causing Joy to glance at us."Huh? He just asked something about work," I said quickly."Sir was so something earlier; he looks so manly. I was shocked when he spoke without gayness in his voice. Sir is hot when angry, huh," Mira suddenly said with a laugh."You said it. He was very different a while ago. I only saw that side of him now.""That's the true him. I'm sure of that," Lheny suddenly said while taking a bite of food. "I'll need to go. I'll only spend half a day today at work because my friend from Paris is coming," she added with a glance at me."Man?" Mira asked with a dog smile, and she received a slap from Joy."You're thirsty for a man, Mira," Joy said, laughing."Woman," Lheny said curtly."Too bad, I thought it was a man," Mira laughed.Until the
31(english) When I went in, all I wanted was for my brother to have surgery. I have no intention of ruining a relationship. Yes, and Sir said that he and Ma'am Nheya had nothing, but I couldn't help but blame myself when I saw the hurt and pain in Ma'am Nheya's eyes. As I saw in Yunard's eyes, I saw the same in Ma'am Nheya's eyes. They are hurting, and I know it's because of me. "That's not what I'm asking, Gillian." I closed my eyes when I heard her call my name. He just called me that, and I couldn't hide my nervousness. He stood up and approached me. Since he came back after talking to Ma'am Nheya, I didn't have the energy to ask about it. That made me feel guilty, especially for what Ma'am Nheya said. "Sir, I want to say something." I preceded him in what to say. I've been thinking about telling the truth. Because of what Ma'am Nheya said, I suddenly got nervous. What if Sir finds out that his mother just sent me? That he was right in his suspicions about me in the beginning
30(english)Gillian's POVBefore entering the office, I first went to Yunard's house. I want to talk to him and make everything clear to him. His mom greeted me with a smile. She let me in before heading up the stairs to call Yunard upstairs. I'm sure that his mother didn't know anything.Their house is big, with a second floor. I just sat on the sofa and waited for him to come here."He's coming down, Iha. Please just wait for him," I nodded and thanked Aunt Jev, Yunard's mom.It didn't take long for him to come down. His face was serious as he came down. I held my breath and didn't waste any more time; I stood up and approached him."What? I'm doing something," I hung up the word I wanted to say when he spoke before me. I nodded before continuing what I had to say earlier."Let's talk. About what you saw earlier," I bowed and said to him.He didn't speak, so I looked up at his face. He stared at me, and when I looked at him, he looked away.He turned and went up. I quickly followed
29Zachary's POV"Sercetary Gillian!" I shouted so that she could hear it.They both stopped and looked at me. I looked seriously at Secretary Gillian and looked away. This is insane! I'm so irritated, but not at her. I am irritated with myself!"Stay there! I'll get your sandals," I said seriously before turning my back to her. Because she was fast and in a hurry earlier, she even forgot to wear her sandals.I quickly walked back to the hut and took off her sandals. She also left his bag and phone on the side, so I took everything. I just hung the coat I was wearing yesterday in my hand before going back to where they are.Why am I doing this? I stopped and looked at my hand. Why am I doing this? I closed my eyes and sighed because I knew why I was doing this!I was annoyed with her and all, but I still managed to worry on her. What if her feet gets injured because she didn't use her sandal to walk here?! I should not care! But why am I doing this?!When I got closer, I saw that Secr
28(eng ver)He's already asleep, while I'm still awake. I sat on the edge of the bed while holding my face with my hand. It's over; I've already given myself to him. I can't believe what happened. I can't believe that I let myself enjoy everything that happened last night.I'm trying to find regret and remorse in myself, in my heart and brain, but I want to hurt myself because I can't feel even a little remorse or even regret. Now that I have done giving myself to him, Papa entered my mind with his angry face when I said that the man he saw kissing me was not my boyfriend.I am sure that when he finds out that I have given everything to someone who is not my boyfriend, he will be even more angry with me.I'm also sure that when he finds out, he will blame himself for the mistake, and that's what I don't want most of all, for him to blame himself, because I know he's innocent. This is all because of me.I bowed again, remembering that I never said I wouldn't go home. That's worrying,
I bit my lip because, when I got up, Sir was already right in front of me. He is not wearing any clothes. He just stared at me seriously, and his eyes are already on fire. I bit my lips, and while my eyes were in shock,"Ah, Sir, it's a joke--" But it was already too late.He grabbed my chin and lifted it up. I couldn't speak anymore when he kissed me lightly. I let him, let my own eyes close, and enjoyed how he kissed me right now and how he owned my lips right now. I could only hear my heart beating, except for the splash of water coming from the falling water."Say yes, and I will not stop myself again. I won't hold back," he said softly while staring into my eyes, his hand still holding my chin.I didn't say anything; all I did was put my lips close to his parting lips. I put both hands on his arm. I'll admit, the water was cold, and I regretted swimming, but now the cold feeling was replaced by warmth—warmth that I just now felt and that only he made me feel. Damn! I was in dange
