To Love My Boss Chapter Fifty-Two: Sorry For Betraying Me?
Marissa's POVThe park was not far from the apartment building. Usually, there would be many children playing, but today, it was empty. It was a school day, so they might have gone to their classes. The sun was hot, but because there were huge trees surrounding the park, it was shaded. The playground was in peace, but I saw a man turning his back while swinging. I furrowed my eyebrows because he was wearing a corporate dress shirt, black slacks, and shoes.What is a working man doing there, sitting on a swing, like a little child? I shook my head and could just ignore him, so I entered the gate of the playground. The benches were not far from the swing. It would happen to be near the man, but I do not have to regard him, right? While walking towards the benches, I pouted my lips when I saw the man licking a pink ice cream on a cone. Ladies and gentlemen, a pink ice cream!Does he not get embarrassed that he is here enjoying his ice cream in a children's playground? And man, he even wa
To Love My Boss Chapter Fifty-Three: My Best Friend's Betrayal
Marissa’s POVNica's eyes began to pool with tears, and I refused to be a fool with it. I could see from her hands that she was holding bags of our favorite snacks. It is just so funny that she is thinking that I could still accept her after what she has done to me. Her makeup was beginning to erase because of her tears and her hands were trembling."Did you see us in the restaurant last night?" her faint voice squeaked.I tried not to be swayed by the lump in my throat so that I could show her that I do not easily cry in these situations. Enough is enough. All my life, she thought she was always a savior to me whenever I had problems to be resolved. She used to be my haven. But she taught me that even the most trusted persons can also participate in a fucked up betrayal."I went to the restaurant because I was planning to apologize to Brylle," I said and clenched my fists. "And I saw you with him, being introduced to the world that you are his girlfriend. Like it did not even cross i
To Love My Boss Chapter Fifty-Four: Cooking and A Video Call
Marissa's POVI shook my head and went to the kitchen to cook even if it was already nighttime. While walking to the kitchen, I read the message of Diego.From: DiegoGood evening.I furrowed my eyebrows in curiosity. No context, huh? Even though I was confused by his brief greeting, I replied to him.To: DiegoGood evening, Diego.Even now, I still feel foreign in addressing him casually. But of course, I also consider his opinion that it will help us break the walls for us to be comfortable in our new address to each other.From: DiegoWhat are you doing?His reply was even surreal to be read. I shook my head with a smile while slicing the eggplant similar to the sizes of French fries. In the middle of what I was doing, I paused and replied to him.To: DiegoI am going to cook.From: DiegoIn the middle of the night?To: DiegoI overslept because I was so tired from cleaning my apartment. That is why I got hungry.From: DiegoSo you’re busy…My stomach growled again, making me finis
To Love My Boss Chapter Fifty-Five: To the Groceries
Marissa’s POVThe next day, all of the company's workers were busy because of two huge buildings project the Monteros were planning to build with a specific number of investors and higher-ups of the company. Diego Montero was all speaking and listening with me by his side. I was the one taking notes, arranging the presentations, and printing important documents that were given to the businessmen who belonged to the board of directors.“Thank you for attending the conference. Let us adjourn the meeting,” Diego Montero said and bestowed a smile of relief that the meeting was now done. “I hope you have all a good day.”All of the board of directors nodded their heads and stood up. I set aside myself and collected all of the portfolios on the conference table. The directors, one by one, approached Mr. Montero to congratulate him. I accidentally gazed at him while I was in the middle of the collection of portfolios and caught him staring at the capital chair of the table opposite to his wh
To Love My Boss Chapter Fifty-Six: Now It Is Ruined
Marissa’s POVI sipped on the coffee Diego made for me as I watched him wear the apron I owned that he got from the kitchen cabinet. The apron has flowery designs, and it was even color pink. It looked weird in him, but do we even have a choice? It is the only one available and how could I possibly expect that he would be here to cook in my apartment?Currently, I am sitting on a stool and leaning my arms with my coffee on the countertop. He was opposite to me, but he was standing while he was slicing the ingredients for the adobo he would cook. I saw how fast he chopped and how well he handled the ingredients and the meat he chopped with gentle care and careful seasoning.“Wow,” I said in astonishment. “Even until now, I still cannot believe that you know how to cook like this. Most rich people do not have interest in things like this because they mostly rely on the work of the household maids.”“Well, for the cleaning part, I would rather make the maids do the work. When I am tired,
To Love My Boss Chapter Fifty-Seven: Comforters
Marissa’s POVI was pouring water from the cold pitcher into the glasses when Diego came inside the apartment again with his shoulders still lowered and his expression unhappy. The call of his dad might have made his night ruin, too. Like mine because of the expectations my former classmates have for me and Brylle. They might still not know that Nica and Brylle ended up with each other.I did not want to add to a solemn atmosphere, so I tried smiling while attending to Diego. I pulled the chair for him to sit, and he immediately did with a heavy sigh at the end.“Are you good?” I asked out of concern.“My mom told him that I impregnated you,” he answered without going through ways of saying it easily. He looked up at me with a pair of sad eyes. “He wants to meet you.”I blinked and could not find any word for me to say. Instead, I just placed back the cold pitcher on the table as I went to the chair opposite his. He followed me sitting down as silence accompanied us to our dinner.“Ar
To Love My Boss Chapter Fifty-Eight: Beer and Life
Marissa’s POVAfter checking the temperature of the air conditioner in the mini sala and checking if there were still hard particles on the floor so that I could sweep it. Thankfully, everything was in order and perfection. I sat on the sofa again and watched the NBA. Minutes later on, Diego came outside my room so fresh and so manly fragrant it enticed my nostrils. I just stopped myself so it would not appear awkward to him. “I am done,” he announced and sat on the sofa. “Let’s start drinking. These are just beers, so we would not be hard drunk, unlike last night. It will only make our bodies warm and sleepy.”I squinted my eyes at what he said. Make our bodies warm? Hmmm, I like that.I fanned myself with my hand just to escape what I thought. He opened one bottle of beer, pulled two glasses so he could pour them, and gave one to me. He raised his glass to have a toast with me. I imitated him. "For our fucked up life..." he said. I chuckled because of what he toasted. "For our fu
To Love My Boss Chapter Fifty-Nine: Famished
Marissa’s POV“I won!” I announced and shouted like a monkey jumping on the sofa as the timer ran out from the basketball game we were watching.“Argh! The Lakers should have won! The referee is not looking at the violations your players are committing! That was supposed to be a foul!” Diego angrily said.“Well, Mr. Montero, better luck next time. It seems like you are the loser now!” I teased and even looked down at him while I placed my hands on my hips because I was still at the top of the sofa.He rolled his eyes at me and raised his glass of beer. “Then victory to you, Ms. Dela Cruz!” he said.I also raised mine and dramatically drank my glass happily. But while I was finishing it, his eyes opened and locked on my stomach, which was exposed because my hand was raised due to drinking. I saw the sparkles in his eyes before he avoided them and sat on the chair while sighing. After that, he placed his hand on his forehead and shook his head, like discouraging himself from doing somet
