last update Last Updated: 2024-09-17 20:51:21

Marissa’s POV

I know what I did to Brylle was terrible. I still have not explained everything to him, and that is why he does not get my relationship with Diego. All he knew was that I hated my boss, and now, I will marry the man that I hated the most.

But still, it does not justify him hooking up with my best friend. He knew better. Or maybe this is a payback for him. He knew I would lose Nica, just like I lost me. He wanted me to know what it feels like to be betrayed by the person you treasure the most.

“What seems to be bothering you, Marissa?” my grandmother suddenly asked me when she witnessed that I was spacing out while feeding her. “Is there a problem of yours that you would like to share?”

“H-Huh?”

That is when I realized that the spoonful of rice soup was left in the air. It was supposed to be near her mouth. So I snapped and continued what I was doing. She immediately opened her mouth and ate the soup.

“Nothing, grandmother,” I lied. “It’s just that I had a rough week.”

  • To Love My Boss   Chapter One-Hundred-Eleven: A Family that I Needed

    Marissa’s POVAll of my work outfits were repetitive, so I was struggling to find something to wear in this crucial and important conference. I did not want to look like a rug beside Mrs. Rivera. I want to at least look like they can negotiate with me. Disregarding the fact that Zeana Tan and George Benitez are my biological parents, they are still the most successful and renowned business tycoons.“Shit…” I cursed and traced my fingers through my clothes in my wardrobe. “What do I wear?”Before I could even pinpoint anything, a car’s horn outside the house engulfed the whole neighborhood as if announcing its arrival. I could barely care, though. I have a huge problem!“Ma’am Marissa! Sir Diego is here!” I heard Elisa saying outside my room.“Wait, what?” I mumbled to myself and frantically closed my wardrobe to face the door where Elisa was outside. “Why is he here, Elisa?!”“Sir wants to drive you to your work, ma’am!”Huh? I didn't even know that!I was so puzzled when I opened the

  • To Love My Boss   Chapter One-Hundred-Ten: Appreciate Myself

    Marissa’s POV“Thank you for your time tonight,” I said as I escorted Diego outside the house. “Lilith is happy that you joined us in the McDonald’s.”“I know,” he answered and faced me, turning his back on his car, “but are you happy that I am here?”I was taken aback by his question and became statued on where I was standing.After we had a bottle of wine, Diego decided to go home now. I don’t know, but before he could even ask that, I wanted him to stay here in our house. I want him near. I might be crazy, though it’s true. He was right the other day. I still have feelings for him despite the years that have gone by.For a moment, I could not find the right words to say. Silence stretched. My eyes were wandering as long as I couldn't stare back at him, until I heard him chuckle. When I looked at him straight again, I was breathless as he stepped forward and cupped my face, giving me a sweet forehead kiss that made me close my eyes.“I also know the answer, Marissa. No matter how y

  • To Love My Boss   Chapter One-Hundred-Nine: You’ll Be Fine, My Love

    MARISSAWe went home after I granted my daughter a McDonald’s meal. As expected, Diego followed us home, and I don’t know if I should be comfortable with this or not after he called me with his formal address towards me as his former secretary. For a moment, I felt a tingling feeling with nostalgia in it. I must say that I may have missed my job, and also - him. “Elisa, you can take Lilith upstairs now. Make sure to give her a half bath please,” I told Elisa as we arrived in the living room.“Yes, Marissa,” she politely said and guided Lilith towards the staircase.Lilith took a last glance at me and it went through my shoulder, making me guess that she was looking at her father behind me. When they were gone already, I faced Diego who was still placing his hands on his pockets. He was watching me with an intense gaze. I was still wearing my work clothes, and I will feel ashamed if I try to change them when Diego is still my visitor at my own home. I should pay his courtesy with mine

  • To Love My Boss   Chapter One-Hundred-Eight: McDonald’s

    Marissa’s POVI could not think clearly while working the next day. Even Ms. Desmon, my secretary, was worried that I could be sick. Mrs. Rivera was even kind to suggest that I should apply for a leave, but I did not. I wanted to get distracted from my mind by doing things at my job.“Coffee, Ms. Dela Cruz?”My eyes lifted to Ms. Desmon who placed a cup of coffee in front of me. I was currently sitting on my swivel chair while typing on my laptop, doing some Excel work. I smiled at her which she reciprocated.“Thanks, Ms. Desmon,” I said briefly. “You’re welcome, ma’am,” she replied and cleared her throat. “Anyway, ma’am, I have something to inform you.”Without minding what she will say, I took the cup of coffee that she offered and played with the rim of it using my index finger. When I did not reply and just made a small whirlpool on the coffee, she took a deep breath.“Mr. Diego Montero asked for your number, and I gave it to him since he said it’s for business purposes,” she rev

  • To Love My Boss   Chapter One-Hundred-Seven: Lost Daughter

    Marissa’s POV“I realized along the way that I did not want to live regretting because of the dreams I let go. And so, I reconciled with my parents without the knowledge of your father, and that made us fight numerous times. I wanted to start again to make my dreams come true, but I did not intend to leave you,” Ms. Zeana Tan said, her voice shaking now nervously. “When I came back to the house we are renting one day from signing a contract with my parent’s business, you and your father were gone. Even the landlady was gone. I tried finding you, but your father already took you away from me.”She bowed her head and closed her eyes. I avoided mine, my head venturing around the coffee shop until I met the eyes of George Benitez who was on the other table. The tray of three coffees was in front of him, untouched. He was just watching us, so I furrowed my eyebrows and began to suspect.Don’t tell me…“I am sorry if I left you. I was so selfish and young. I did not want my life to only rev

  • To Love My Boss   Chapter One-Hundred-Six: To Know the Truth

    Marissa’s POVI tightly clenched the handle of the glass door of the coffee shop where I am supposed to go. I stared at it, doubting if I should go in or not. I closed my eyes and breathed in and out deeply.Marissa, you are already here. Do you think this is the right time to be nervous? You already called Zeana Tan and wasted her time to come here. To talk about why she was telling you that she is your mother. And the truth behind everything that still lingers everywhere but never been answered.In the end, I pushed the door and the bells rang inside the coffee shop. There were not a lot of people, I noticed. The scent of the variety of coffee kind filled my nostrils. For a moment, I checked if I smelled good and my coat dress was a good choice. It was Chanel and I even brought my Gucci bag. I wanted to look formal but not too impressive. Only subtle, because I would be talking to the most successful woman I have ever known.“I’ve got this…” I said to myself and heaved a sigh again.
