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
Gillian's POVI closed my eyes when he suddenly dropped the papers he was holding."What are you thinking, Secretary Gillian?! Mr. Hernaez is one of the most important people in the company!" He rubbed both foreheads and stood up."B-But, Sir, you told me not to accept anything you want to have in your schedule right now. I couldn't help stuttering as I said that."I should have told you even before I said that. You should have told me first before taking down Mr. Hernaez! It was a big shame on Mr. Hernaez! That's your job; you can't even do it right!" I tried not to cry because of his scream.When I arrived, he was hot-headed. A while ago, someone told me while I was entering that he was bad-tempered right now.He kept quiet and didn't speak for a few seconds, so I looked up. He suddenly looked away when our eyes met."Leave," he said, returning to his seat. I took a deep breath before turning my back to him.When I came out, I immediately saw Zeyo's sister. I can't help but be amaze
I looked around the condo. The color of the condo is a mixture of gray and black. I only stopped when I saw Nheya exit a room, followed by Sir Zachary.My eyes widened when I saw that he was wearing only jersey shorts, no top.Zeyo said it was Sir's room. His condo is far away from the one we stayed in before. That slope is big, but this slope is bigger."You're coming too; you're just acting like you don't want to," Nheya said as she walked past me.Why does Nheya's blood seem hot to me? Isn't she like this when we first meet? Did I do something to her that I don't know about?"Sit down first, Gillain. I'll just get the drinks," Zeyo said while pointing to the sofa.I move slowly. On the way here, I texted Yunard that he should not pick me up now; he has not replied yet, and it looks like he hasn't read it yet.Zeyo returned immediately, carrying the beers. Sir also came to put down some food. I glanced at Nheya, who was now dressed differently. It's just shorts and a white shirt.Do
"Secretary Gillian!" I called to me, but I just kept walking. I can't believe I said that without stuttering. I suddenly became proud of myself because I said that to him because, to be honest, I was nervous about the way he looked at me. The way he stared at my lips made me faint, but I said it. I'm so proud of myself. I can't help but smile. Why is he like that? When I was already at home, I found Ma'am Nheya and Zeyo panicking. They fix their stuff quickly. I glanced at Ma'am Nheya, who was now wearing what she was wearing earlier. "I hate you, brother! You should have made sure about it! Look what you did! We are already panicking!" Ma'am Nheya said angrily to Zeyo while fixing her hair. "Why? What happened?" Sir spoke from behind me; like me, he also seemed surprised by the rush of Ma'am Nheya and Zeyo. "Ghad! I smell like alcohol!" Nheya spoke nervously and took the toothbrush from her bag. Zeyo had fixed his things, so he answered Sir's question. "Grandpa is on his way ho
I couldn't speak; I remembered what he said before. He said he wanted to buy a motorcycle. I thought he was just joking. I can't believe he actually bought a car, even though he already has one, and he bought it because he knew that I liked riding a motorcycle. I bit my lips.I stared at my hand when he touched it. He pulled me closer to his newly purchased motorcycle. With just one look, he already put his attention on me. I look at his motorcycle, and in just one glance, I know that it is expensive. Far away from the motorcycle that Yunard uses.Instead of holding him, I just hold the back of the motorcycle. He glanced at me because of what I did. He is waiting for me to put my hand on his waist."Come on, Baby. When I saw you riding his motorcycle, you were hugging his waist! Why don't you hold me too?" He said so and asked with a frown."Si--""Hold me in my waist, or I'll kiss you right now again," he said gruffly.I quickly put my hand on his waist. He wasn't satisfied with my h
25I don't know where Manager Rizza went after that. She just suddenly politely asked Judy to accompany me to look at the food while Sir went straight to the VIP room."I heard that the Manager Rizza, said something bad to you on that day. It's good that you found a better job now," Judy said as she showed me the food.I don't know what to say. I can't say if my job is good now because I think this is the worst: to lie to someone because of money. I was only accepted for this job here because of Madam Anastasia and because of a lie."How are you? You and all the staff here?" I'll change what we are talking about."It's fine, but since you left, Jake has been sticking to me to ask what's wrong with you, ask if you talked to me once, and always say that I don't know and I don't have any news on you. And because Jake has always been kind to me, the manager is now mad at me. She turned her madness on you to me," I laughed when he winked."Until now, Manager Rizza has not moved on to Jake?
"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
