To Love My Boss

Third Person's POV“I do not know why they will turn their backs when we did not even do anything wrong!” Diego said and flew his hands in the air. “Or maybe you said or did something that discouraged them from considering the project!”"I also don’t know-“ the manager tried to explain further.“What kind of a manager are you? You only have one job and that is knowing the whole information!”“I am so sorry, sir-““You are so stu-““Mr. Montero!”It was the cue to cut what he was saying to the manager.Marissa has encountered a lot of insults from the CEO over the years. She does not want the others to take it, for she knows how it feels after being reprimanded. Both of them looked at Marissa who was approaching them. She meaningfully gazed at Diego who was squinting his eyes as if observing her. In the end, she avoided her gaze from her boss and regarded the manager whose eyes were already watering with tears.Oh… it was like the first time in her job when she was accepted as a secret

Third Person's POVMarissa went to their bags so they could go now to the company. She helped him prepare the things before they went to the car parked in a lot. Her boss was silent the whole time while driving, and she could sense that if she spoke up, she would be thrown out of the car. They were in the middle of an intense silence until they reached the company and the floor’s office.“Mom?” he called the moment he opened the door. “Are you here?”Mrs. Margarita Montero was sitting on a sofa in the drawing area of the office. She only stood up elegantly when she saw Diego walking towards her. The old lady wore a white branded dress that had a golden belt which she paired with black heels. She also had golden accessories, and her brown hair was also flailing. If Marissa did not know that she was the great Margarita Montero, she would have thought that the old lady was a former model or a celebrity that quit showbiz for a long time. Marissa closed the door as she watched the two hugg

Third Person's POVBut his mother’s sentiments did not work on him. He just smirked and kept shaking his head. “I… I can’t do that. I don’t know anything about… stupid relationships,” he explained. “I only cared about my business, and how I could prosper it. Women do not interest me.”Marissa took no offense. What Diego and her have in common is that they are more practical than being flown by emotional aspects. They have ambitions to chase; a very complicated love.“I thought you were going to do anything for me?” Mrs. Montero said using her disappointed tone. “Would you let me die without granting my final death wish?”“Mom, it is just that…” Diego muttered and played his lower lip. "It is too much. I do not even know if I could love anyone.""Then does that mean that you do not love me?""Of course, I love you so much!""You can also do that for another woman of your life!" Madame Margarita said and held the hand of his hand. "Don't you get excited that there is a woman out there w

Third Person's POVMarissa furrowed her eyebrows and faced who was saying something behind him. When she looked up, her heart skipped a beat as she saw Brylle’s charming smile, hunter-green eyes, and cool, standing posture. She noticed that he got a new clean haircut; not the ruffled one anymore, making him more mature and formal, but still – looking so handsome.“H-Hey…” She found herself stuttering and reluctant with her trembling smile and awkward wave. “Were you following me?”Brylle Ferrer chuckled and stared at her.He is the long-time suitor of Marissa ever since they were in college. He liked her first, and she knows it; she liked him after graduation, and he does know it. The moment Brylle knows that she has feelings for him, the more he will bug her, and it might distract her from her work for her goal in New York. She does not want that to happen.“Nah, I also had my cart and went out for groceries. It might be destiny talking that we are also doing the same?” he said and m

Third Person's POVHer grandmother squinted her eyes meaningfully and said, “I also found true love with your grandfather. I experienced extraordinary happiness that I have never felt in my entire life if it were not for him. He showed me new things, chose me every single day, and loved me unconditionally until his last breath.”Marissa intently listened, for she saw nostalgia in the sparkling eyes of her grandmother. Her grandmother added recognition to her situation while she was still listening.“And someday, as I pray from the God above, you will meet the most amazing man, who will take care of you, nurture your soul, and embrace your heart’s capability to love. Every day, from best to worst times, you will get through all that together. You would never feel alone after that, darling.”And even though Marissa used to be nauseous about ‘finding true love’, she chose to remember all of the advice of her grandmother while she went outside. She decided to get some fresh air and bought
