To Love My Boss Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Cat In Her Bag
Marissa's POVDiego and I arrived at the hospital with Zeana Tan still unconscious. While Zeana Tan was being tended by the doctors in a private room, Diego had to make calls to his parents, saying that he must take care of his energy. And because I am a naturally curious cat, I had to make sure that Diego was saying the truth. The beautiful lady was Zeana Tan. I searched her on Google and confirmed that it was her face. I tilted my head in confusion.Maybe it was because of the adrenaline rush, that is why I did not recognize her right away. The only thing I thought about a while ago was how to save her. I did not think otherwise. Not to mention that she was crying!"Are you okay?" Diego asked when he finally sat beside me in the waiting chairs. He peeked over my phone. "Why are you browsing about Zeana Tan?""Uhh, well, I did not know that it was her," I answered and pointed at the room where Zeana Tan was. "I see," he said."Anyway, I asked for help from my tito. He said he was ju

Marissa's POVIf there was one thing that is more awkward than ever, it would be the dinner that we are having right now. The cutleries were the only ones making the sounds on the table. We are already starting to eat. I am beside Diego. In front of us are Madame Margarita and George Benitez, who is the brother of Madame Margarita (that was what Diego told me). In the capital chair of the dining table was Chairman Karlos Montero. While I was eating, I couldn't help but notice that Mr. George Benitez kept glancing at me with a grin that would hit anyone's nerve. I don't even know what his problem is. His stares were just annoying, but instead of expressing my discomfort, I simply smiled at him. He reacted by arching his both eyebrows and smiled even more. "So, Ms. Dela Cruz," he broke the silence by speaking up and making me straighten up in sitting. "You are the secretary of my nephew, right? How many months have you been in a relationship?""We have been in a relationship for over

Marissa's POVAfter that scene I had with Diego in his Aston Martin, I took a shower and had my alone time in my room. I called the caretaker of my grandmother and promised to visit her tomorrow. While I was watching N*****x, my phone rang for a video call. It was Diego.I immediately straightened up and cleared my throat. I combed my hair with my fingers before answering the call as if I was answering a Zoom meeting because of how formal I was sitting."Hey," he greeted me. "What are you doing?"Diego was already lying on his bed. His body was facing the right side while he was holding his phone in front of his face. He had clear skin, I know that. I never saw him with acne or any whiteheads. That is what I liked about him. He is hygienic and he always had this man's perfume that I am addicted to. Now, even though we are just facing through our skins, I could still smell him from my apartment. His hair was damp, making me conclude that he had just taken a bath like me a while ago."Oh

Marissa’s POV “Really?” Mr. Palma exclaimed. “If that is true, she is horrible in that case.” “I already had a bad feeling when I knew that she started dating the CEO. Gold diggers like her are already corrupting wealthy men. It is common nowadays,” Ms. Villanueva just had to add her opinion. “Oh, my goodness, I just had goosebumps,” Mr. Palma said. That’s it. They cannot just keep badmouthing me when I am here listening! I was about to push the door to confront the two of them, but I heard a smash on the marble table. Ms. Gonzaga was standing in front of them. The two looked at her in confusion because she was dropping her feet to get their attention. “Hey!” she called out to them. “You both do not know the whole story. Why are you already judging Ms. Dela Cruz just because she is dating the CEO? Maybe, Mr. Montero likes her because we all know how beautiful, intelligent, and talented Ms. Dela Cruz is. None of us would not even wonder that any man would be attracted to

Marissa’s POVIt was all dramatic when Zeana Tan went inside. The noise died down as she entered. The people inside just became motionless and regarded her majestic presence. I was there, in front of the long conference table, with a hanging mouth and eyes not blinking as I was so amazed by how powerful she was in person.Zeana Tan first ventured her eyes around the room before her gaze went in my direction. The moment she looked at me, I felt so breathless. I saw how she furrowed her eyebrows and hovered her gaze over me with conspicuous mixed concern and curiosity. I was so embarrassed that I bowed my head.She must be wondering why I was in front of the higher-ups. Can’t the floor just eat me up?While embarrassment still possessed me, Diego guided Zeana Tan to her seat as the board of directors tried to greet her. She would just smile and briefly nod at them before she got comfortable sitting. “You can start now, baby,” Diego whispered when he went to his capital chair beside me

Marissa’s POVThe meeting ended well with the businessmen and ladies in high positions shaking each other’s hands. I don’t even know what to say about the tension inside the conference room. I just knew that it was a hell of a stress.Some of the businessmen that Diego talked to congratulated me on the presentation, but I knew they were just impressing the Chief Executive Director. I kept looking at Zeana Tan who was talking with Chairman Karlos Montero.“Let’s eat in the restaurant after this,” he whispered to me after he briefly dismissed a businessman.“Okay,” I said. “I will book a restaurant.”“Please do,” he said and smiled at me.I nodded as he continued conversing with the high-falutin men and ladies in business. I walked out of the conference room as I crossed my arms to book his favorite restaurant and prepare our orders. After over three minutes of talking with a nice lady over the phone, I heaved a deep sigh and closed my eyes, refusing to go back into the conference room

Marissa's POVWe watched Zeana Tan turn her back on us. She was approaching the board of directors who immediately attended to her. Even though Diego was already in front of me and patterning his plans for us tonight, I could not remove my gaze off the successful woman who just talked to me a while ago. I looked at the calling card she just gave me and caressed its surface. "Do you want to change your clothes before we go to the restaurant?" Diego asked. I smiled and shook my head, now regarding him. "Uhh, no, I'll just wear this," I said. "Okay," he said and smiled, now placing his hand around my shoulder. "Let's go."We were about to walk away, but before we could even proceed, Mrs. Margarita Montero blocked our way. My smile immediately faded. Our eyes met, and I could already sense her dismissal towards me. Diego called out to her and kissed her cheek. She instantly bestowed her sweet smile. "Good job on your presentation, my son. You even impress Ms. Zeana Tan. I assure you.

Marissa’s POVI played with the food in front of me with a solemn face. Diego’s plate was making subtle sounds because of the movements of his cutleries. My sighs were not loud but emphatic. The dinner was silent, and everyone inside the restaurant was elegantly eating.“Are you okay?” Diego could not help himself anymore and asked because of how I was so down in front of him. “You seem thinking about a lot of things.”I smiled and looked at him. “Yes,” I answered. “I am sorry. I am just so tired right now…”He chewed his food and stared at me for a long. After that, he straightened up.“Are you still thinking about our meeting?” he asked.“No. It’s just that exhaustion can really dominate my body so easily,” I explained. “You should not mind me.”I watched how he placed his hand on my knuckle. “If you want to share something with me, I will always be willing to listen to you, okay?”“Thank you,” I said.For some reason, Ms. Villanueva’s confession went through my mind.

To Love My Boss Chapter One-Hundred-Two: He Is Your Dad
MARISSA’S POV“Are you really sure about talking to him?” Brylle asked as he hid my view of Diego who was sitting on the couch in the living room.I sighed while I was crossing my arms. “He wanted to see and know about our daughter,” I said. “What should I do? Deny? He already knew before he could even reach here.”“But you vowed to yourself that you will never see him,” he said firmly and furrowed his eyebrows. “Don’t tell me that you still have feelings for him, Marissa.”I remembered how Diego kissed me a while ago, and I felt so guilty in front of Brylle. Ever since I left the Philippines, he was the one who comforted me together with Nica. They were both supportive of Lilith and I. So I know that he is just worried about me seeing Diego.I could not help but avoid my gaze. I saw from my peripheral vision that he nodded, as if he just confirmed something.“You still love him,” he reckoned.“I have been prepared for making Lilith meet her father,” I stated, meeting his gaze again.
To Love My Boss Chapter One-Hundred-One: We Were Just Nothing
I felt my heart drop when I saw Diego Montero entering the backyard with Lilith holding his hand and pulling him to her friends. Diego’s expression was mixed with confusion and surprise. The guests barely cared, because in their minds, Diego must just be a guest. “What is he doing here, Marissa?” Nica asked as I followed her going outside the house. “Do you think I know?” I exclaimed and muttered a crisp curse. “So why is he holding Lilith?” “I don’t know!” Nica and I kept exchanging frustrated mumbles because we have no idea why Diego was here. How did he even know my address? “Sir, you can get a slice of cake at the buffet table,” Lilith even said and pointed at the table with her head looking up to Diego. I was taken aback that I could not help and snatch her hand away when I got to the both of them. Diego parted his lips as he looked at me, his eyes digging into mine and searching answers from the questions he must be having in his mind. Out of urge, I held Lilith and moved
To Love My Boss Chapter One-Hundred: Like Mother, Like Daughter
MARISSA’S POV“We have nothing to talk about,” I firmly said and dropped his hand. “Why don’t you go home to your family now, huh?”Before he could see the tears stinging at the sides of my eyes, I turned my back on him and went straight to my car with my heart beating fast and my mind so cloudy with memories. When I got inside my car and looked in front of me, his car was already running towards the exit, leaving me in the indoor parking lot of the company.I wanted to break down and hold my chest while mentally saying that everything would be alright. Whatever the reason he is here is solely none of my business. Whether he has a family or not, I don’t need him in my daughter’s life.But wait a minute, how did he know that we had a daughter? And did Madame Margarita Montero tell him about what we both agreed on in order for me to leave Diego?Nonetheless, what is done is done. I can’t go back to the past anymore. I have a life here in New York with my daughter. I may not be happy jus
To Love My Boss Chapter Ninety-Nine: You don’t get to leave me
MARISSA’S POV I only snapped when Mrs. Rivera called me. I regarded her who was eyeing me up and down, weirded out by why I was wet. Even Diego was also coldly staring at me, couldn't care less that I was in front of him. He did not even flinch, as if he had already expected that I am here. In New York! “I… I’ll just change, madame. I’m sorry. Excuse me…” I did not waste time and immediately turned my back in order to escape from that stupid embarrassment. My little run with my high heels was awkward as I made my way to the washroom. I gave a message to Ms. Desmon to find me a pair of clothes from my locker and fix myself. “Shit, what was he doing here?!” I said in panic as I paced back and forth inside the cubicle. “He can’t be here. I mean, he can, but for all the places on Earth, why here?!” And he has a wife. And a child. It’s just five years, and he has already moved on? Or am I the only one who distinguished five years to be a shorter time? “Ma’am, here are your clothes.”
To Love My Boss Chapter Ninety-Eight: Fantasizing
“Are you okay, ma’am? You seemed stressed. Do you want me to get you some coffee?” an assistant of mine asked me when she noticed me staring at the wall of my office.“Huh? Oh!” I exclaimed and almost panicked, but I stopped myself and just grabbed the paperwork in front of me. “Don’t mind me. Just please get to work.”Shit. I did not like the idea of not focusing on my work enough and being distracted by what had happened last night with Madame Zeana. Everything she said seemed so absurd to me and impossible.How could she be my mother? She lives in the US, and I lived with my grandmother in the Philippines. I had a simple and convenient life as an assistant, while she is the most luxurious woman who people have known, bringing success from her business and showbiz. Now I could not imagine her kneeling yesterday in front of me, just so I could forgive her.I clenched my fist, crumbling the paper inside my hand.“Ma’am, you are destroying the contract…”“Oh, shit…” I cussed and looked
To Love My Boss Chapter Ninety-Seven: You are… my mother?
Marissa’s POV“I don’t understand why you are here,” the first thing I said to Madame Zen who was in front of me. “I don’t even have an idea how you tracked me.”The nanny of my son placed the two cups of tea on the dining table. I am currently sitting in the capital opposite to Madame Zen. She was wearing a fancy cardigan and above the knee leather skirt. Her Louis Vuitton mini bag was even boasting itself that she put on the corner of the dining table. Her sparkling success was very shiny that I had to clear my throat and mind who I was talking to.Madame Zen stared at me for a while before the corners of her lips rose a little. “I have tracked you down ever since you came here in New York. The last minute that I could not see you in the Philippines, I got worried, so I hired a private investigator just to find you.”I was so overwhelmed by what she spilled that I laughed in amusement and sipped on my tea. My head was shaking in disbelief because I thought she was just throwing a jo
To Love My Boss Chapter Ninety-Six: Stalker
Marissa's POV For five years, I only wanted to take care of Lilith, my daughter, as we left the Philippines to start a new life and a new career. After my grandmother died last year, I knew that I had to be strong for the steering wheel that I had been controlling all my life to be steady. Grandma was the reason I wanted to live for a long time. Now, it was Lilith. "Mom, I told you that I wanted to play in the park with my nanny. Why would you not let me?" Lilith said as she stomped her little feet under the dining table. I turned to her while fixing the valuable things inside my bag. Her nanny, on the other hand, was helping her eat breakfast. My beautiful daughter was looking up at me while pouting her lips. Her hair was already done into ponytails and is currently wearing the dress I just bought for her in the mall. "No," I said and smiled at her. "The park is too dangerous, my love. You have to understand me." "Nanny! Help me!" she said and then looked at Nanny Elisa. Nanny
To Love My Boss Chapter Ninety-Five: Luggage
Marissa’s POV I could feel the discrete and watchful stares of Nica and Brylle in front of me. I was just staring at the hot coffee inside a huge mug in front of me. They made sure I ate today, even though it was not a lot. It already satisfied them that I had something in my stomach. “I know you won’t open up to us,” Nica said in the middle of the deafening silence. “But I want you to know that Brylle and I will be here for you.” My eyes slowly darted on both of them. They were beside each other and their hands underneath were obviously intertwined just by the visual of their hands together. The only thing that was separating us was the dining table. Currently, we are in the dining area in front of me. The night was still young. “I am leaving tomorrow,” I started with a lump on my throat, but my eyes are already tired from crying. “And I don’t know if I will be back.” “What?” Brylle exclaimed. “What do you mean?” “Madame Margarita was the primary reason why my contract with Di
To Love My Boss Chapter Ninety-Four: Leave Tomorrow
Marissa’s POV“Brylle! Oh, my goodness! What happened to you?!” Nica exclaimed in shock.The moment I let her inside the apartment, Nica rushed to Brylle who was caressing the white plaster on his right cheek. She was pressing his wound, while he kept telling her that it was alright. I could not help but furrow my eyebrows at how they care for each other. I can see it. “Marissa,” Nica mumbled my name and stood up so he could face me. “Who did this to him?”I crossed my arms after I locked the door of the living room. “It was Diego Montero,” I answered. “I am sorry.”Her expression changed from a serious one to a concerned one. The moment she did that, I already retreated. I shook my head.“We can talk tomorrow. For now, you should rest together with Brylle. Spend the night. I already prepared everything in my grandmother’s room. You can use it,” I said. “I’ll go to my room now.”I did not let her speak anymore and turned my back on them already. I could feel her stares following me
