Chapter 70: Secrets Slowly Unfold
Tahimik na pinagmamasdan ni Samantha si Charlie. She just came home a few minutes ago. Ang una niyang ginawa nang makarating siya ng bahay, mag-shower. She wanted to erase the memory of the things that happened tonight. Gusto niyang pakalamahin ang sarili niya. Gusto niya, pagharap niya kay Charlie, maayos siya. Not nervous wreck that she was an hour ago.
Kaya lang nang puntahan niya sina Bettina at Charlie sa viewing room, her daughter was already sleeping. Ang sabi ni Bettina, katutulog lang nito at kanina pa siya hinihintay.
Siguro kung napaaga siya nang kaunti, naabutan pa niya itong gising. Nakipaglaro pa siya rito. Nakipagkulitan. She would’ve felt comforted by her child’s giggles and laughters. It would’ve been easy for her to forget about the cares of the day—the bigbike that almost hit her, Aaron and their argument.
Kaya lang, tulog na ang anak niya. Hindi na naman niya ito naabutang gising. And during times like that, she can&rs

That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 71: Threats
“H-hello?” nakangiwing sagot ni Samantha sa tawag sa cellphone niya. Mrs. Cobarrubias was calling her.“Samantha, hija, totoo bang hindi mo na gagawin ‘yong event nina Aaron at Kristine?” tanong nito in her usual sweet voice.She inwardly groaned and released a slow breath-trying to calm herself down. Sinasabi na nga ba at iyon ang dahil kung bakit napatawag ang matandang babae sa kanya. Well she expected that. Earlier that morning, sinabihan na niya si Kristine na si Mandy na ang magiging head coordinator sa engagement party nito at ni Aaron. Idinahilan niya na kailangan niyang lumipad patungong California sa susunod na linggo dahil sa isang emergency at hindi na niya mutututukan pa nang maigi ang preparation at coordination para sa engagement party.At first Kristine bargained with her, ayaw nitong bitiwan niya ang event ng mga ito. But when she assured her that she will make sure that everything is alrea
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 72: Threats 2
Salubong ang mga kilay nang dumating sa opisina niya si Aaron. Dalawang araw na siyang halos walang tulog dahil sa pakikipagnegosasyon niya sa mga empleyado ng VSL. They said they cannot continue working in his newly bought company when all of them are underpaid. He talked to the employee’s association leader, they were demanding more than they should. And giving in to their request would meant loses on his part. And though businesses entails taking risks, what the VSL employees are demanding him would sure take a big chunk on the budget he had planned on spending at VSL.Eddie had advised him to just lay off VSL’s employees and hire new ones. Business wise, that’s the best thing to do. But he just can’t bring himself to do that. What he did four years ago at SSL still haunts him until today. At hindi na niya dadagdagan pa ang mga dalahin ng kunsensiya niya para lamang mawala ang problema niya. He’d meet the employee’s demands
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 73: Threats 3
“You’re silent, Aaron. Are you angry with what I did?” tanong ng Mommy ni Aaron sa kanya maya-maya.Marahan siyang nagbuga ng hininga bago ibinaba ang tasa niya sa coffee table. Honestly, he’s not sure what to say or what to do. His mother did again what she does best—play cupid. And sometimes, her mother’s antics irks him hindi lang niya talaga masabi nang harapan dahil ayaw niya itong masaktan. He’s a 32 year-old engaged man for Pete’s sakes! Bakit hindi na lang siya nito hayaan sa mga diskarte niya sa pakikipagrelasyon.She knew you too well, you half-hearted dimwit! komento ng isang bahagi ng isip niya.He scoffed internally. Mukhang pati lohika niya, hindi rin kampi sa kanya.But what can he do? He had given his words. And he’ll do what he had promised no matter what the damn price is. Everybody expects him to do that. He ain’t a CEO for nothing. He’s
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 74: Invitation
Samantha lazily stood from her office chair and went to the private meeting room. May naghihintay sa kanyang kliyente doon ngayon. One of the last few clients she’d have to meet personally before she goes into hiding.Hiding. Yes, going into hiding. After she successfully pulled off that lie that she’s going out of the country, of course she needs to make it looked like that she did. Kaya matapos ang linggong ito, magtatago na siya sa San Gabriel.Bettina and Mandy made sure that they will cover for her while she’s hiding. Sila lang tatlo ng mga kaibigan niya ang nakakaalam kung saan siya pupunta. Not even her father nor Lucas know that she’s going home in San Gabriel to hide for at least two weeks or until Aaron and Kristine’s event is over. Mandy said that there would be some major changes in the event.Imbes na initial 250 guests, they'll cut it down to just a 130 due to security reasons. Kung ano ang ibig sab
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 75: Invitation 2
Hindi mapakali si Samantha habang nakikipag-usap silang dalawa ni Mandy kay Madam Liza. Paano, panay ang sulyap sa kanya ni Aaron, na para bang siya ang may kagagawan ng lahat ng kasalanan sa mundo. Hindi naman ganoon kalaki ang kasalanan niya. She just denied that she knows him. What's the big deal? Yes, it's a big deal. You lied. Three damn times! panenermon ng isang parte ng isip niya sa kanya. She swallowed hard, her conscience slowly getting under her skin. Bakit ba kung itinanggi niyang kakilala niya ito, na dati niya itong boss? Kapag ba inamin niya rito na oo, kilala niya ito at dati siya nitong empleyada, will it change a thing? Will it change everything she had gone through? Will it heal her broken heart? Will it undo her past? Their past? She cursed herself silently and secretly shook her head. She should not be thinking about those things anymore. She had promised herself that she’ll never think of anything about Aar
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 76: A Kiss
Nakita ni Samantha kung paano tinakasan ng kulay ang mukha ni Aaron. Umingay din sa pandinig niya ang malakas na pagsinghap ni Madam Liza.“Y-you were part of the m-mass retrenchment?” alanganing tanong ni Madam Liza.She tried to speak but her voice failed her. The hurtful words when Aaron had heartlessly dismissed her from her job four years ago burned in her memory like it was just yesterday. She recalled how low and helpless she felt that day. She remembered her struggles and how she strived to live for Charlie.The hurt, the shame, and the anger were all imprinted on her—an awful memory she wanted to forget but couldn’t.Maya-maya pa, naramdaman niyang inabot ni Madam Liza ang kamay niya at marahan iyong pinisil. Napilitan siyang mag-angat ng tingin.“I’m so sorry, Sam. We were… in so much mess that time. And…” Umiling ito, tila naghahagilap ng sasabihin. Dumaan ang matindin
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 77: A Kiss 2
Nang matapos ang dinner nila, nagprisinta ulit si Aaron na ihatid siya sa bahay niya gamit ang sasakyan niya. Hindi na siya tumanggi. Pinagbigyan na lang niya ito. Besides, that’s probably the last she’d see Aaron for a long time. Baka pagbalik niya sa pagtatago—nila ng anak niya, kasal na ito at si Kristine.A familiar pain rose from her chest at the thought. And as she settles herself inside her car, she tried to take in as much of him as she could, for she might not have another chance in the future to be that close to Aaron. She’d indulge herself this time. Hindi man maaring maging kanya si Aaron, at least she’d have this memory of him aside from that night.Bahagya niyang nilingon ang kanilang likuran nang sandali silang maipit sa traffic. Nakasunod ang sasakyan nito sa kanila. He said his bodyguard were driving his car again and will follow them wherever they’d go.“Why did you
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 78: Not Too Far
Samantha looked at herself in front of the mirror. She was wearing a beautiful one-of-a-kind day dress she had bought in Mateusche, one of her favorite dress shops in LA. She paired that with her classic Manolo Blahnik nude pumps. Her make-up was light and natural and her long straight hair was cascading on her back like a black waterfalls.She looks… fine. And yet she can’t help herself to feel anxious about today.“Mommy, you look so pretty!” ani Charlie na nasa harapan niya at pinagmamasdan siya. Her daughter’s eyes were shining in admiration and she can’t help but smile.Yumukuo siya at marahang pinisil ang maumbok nitong mga pisngi. “Thank you, sweetheart. You are pretty as well,” sabi niya, ginawaran pa ng magaang halik ang ulo nito. Muli siyang tumuwid ng tayo at humarap sa salamin.“Mommy, can I come with you?” tanong ni Charlie habang kinakabit niya ang kanyang pearl earri
