To Love My Boss Chapter Sixty-Seven: Calling Card
Diego's POV"Oh, I am delighted that you know me," I said and displayed a small, formal smile. "Anyway, perhaps you know my uncle? George Benitez?"I made a small push to my uncle who was trying to keep his call beside me and poked him to talk. Zeana Tan also gazed at him and even hovered her gaze casually, as if he was a stranger to her. She smiled and reached out her hand to my uncle. "Yes, I know Mr. Benitez very well. Nice meeting you again, Mr. Benitez," Zeana Tan said and even smiled hugely.See? She is not even bothered by him!When I looked at my uncle, he only stared at her face with a serious expression. He was parting his lips as the words he wanted to say were locked in his throat. The smile Zeana Tan was holding on her lips was slowly becoming constipated because her hand was still reaching out for my uncle who did not acknowledge. I had to secretly elbow him so that he would stop staring and start talking. That was when he snapped and cleared his throat. "O-Oh, yes, Mi
To Love My Boss Chapter Sixty-Eight: Maybe Something Else
Marissa's POVThe nurse tightened and placed a bandage on my shoulder. I can still see the blood penetrating through it. She excused herself while I was left on the bed where I was brought in to tend to the wound I had when my grandmother had thrown the empty bowl a while ago.I swam in my deep thoughts as I remembered the fear she had in her eyes when I was so worried about why she was in hysteria.I should not see her?Who is the person I should not see that she even almost lost her mind when I was about to step forward?If it were not for the hospital staff and Jane who heard her screams. She tried protesting and getting out of the hospital bed, but thankfully, she was immediately sedated and calmed down until she dozed off. Jane escorted me to a room where a nurse could take care of my wound. I did not feel pain, though. I was more curious."Ms. Dela Cruz."My thoughts were interrupted when a doctor showed up in front of me. It was my grandmother's doctor. I had to stand up from s
To Love My Boss Chapter Sixty-Nine: Run Like A Cheetah
Marissa's POVI showered first thing in the morning. Diego followed. Diego cooked. We ate. I double-checked everything to carry. Diego carried it. I made sure we had food on our trip. Diego took care of booking our hotel in Palawan. "Are you ready?" he asked when he sat in the driver's seat. "We'll go to Starbucks first so we can have coffee."I grinned. "That is the nicest thing we would ever do.""My treat.""As if you have let me treat the two of us. That was like never."We both laughed before we left the apartment building. Just like what he said, we went to Starbucks and ordered the coffee we desired to drink. Conversations and plans went on until we got to the airplane. I continued sleeping there with my head on his shoulder. "We're on board now, baby," I heard Diego whisper. "We have to get out of the airplane. Hey."I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was the small screen that was playing a Disney movie in front of me. I shivered as I felt how cold inside the
To Love My Boss Chapter Seventy: Soap
Marissa's POV"Grandmother, what is wrong? Are you okay?" I worriedly asked the other line. "Marissa, where are you?" she asked in a firm voice, meaning that she was angry right now. Why does she sound so angry, though? Is she not done yet?"Grandma, I am in Palawan with my boss for a business trip. Why? Is there a problem?" I asked, curious now. "Good," she said."Then stay there. The longer the better until that bitch leaves."My hand flew to my mouth because I was surprised that she knew how to cuss like this. Even before, she would even reprimand me when I cussed in front of her. I know her to be so old-fashioned and so set in her ways to always be respectful, dignified, and kind. "I do not know who you are, Grandma," I said, wanting to see who she is talking about."Just listen to me, Marissa," she said. "I can't let you see her because she will only ruin your life. You would hate it, so I hope you do not get to the point where you will be making the decision you will ever re
To Love My Boss Chapter Seventy-One: I Can Do It Myself
Marissa's POVIt took only a few seconds for us to pull each other's arms and kiss torridly with passion. I could feel how hungry he was for me, and I was also needing him. It was easy for us to remove the towels from our bodies because we were already naked. He lifted my buttocks to the sink and bit my cheek. I hung my head when his mouth grazed around my neck and sometimes bit it, making me moan. His hands explored my breasts, massaging them gently and firmly.Before I knew it, he was devouring both of my breasts and licking my nipples like he was a hungry infant. It was bringing me to heaven until his kisses went down. He parted my legs and wiped one of his fingers. He made me see how he licked it in front of me. "You are wet... and delicious," he said and leaned down while holding my legs apart. "Ah!" I moaned loudly when he began licking all of the parts of my core. "Oh, Diego...""Moan my name, baby," he said and continued torturing me with every flick of his tongue and did hi
To Love My Boss Chapter Seventy-Two: I*******m Posts
Marissa’s POVThe long week of staying in Palawan was over, and the next thing I knew, we were flying back to Manila City. I was sad looking at the clouds in the sky, but what could I do? We still have work in the company, and Diego has been receiving a lot of phone calls.“Zeana Tan will visit the company this week and my father will also be included in the board meeting,” he said.“Wow, that is once in a blue moon to happen. Zeana Tan must be a very important businesswoman,” I commented and nodded while sipping on my hot coffee.“You have to research about her. She is not only an amazing businesswoman but also a philanthropist who has a huge empathy towards children and orphans. I met her in person and she was the kindest and very gorgeous, I must say. It must be one of the reasons why my Tito George is so crazy about her since I think he still has feelings for her,” he shared. “You will also meet him in the board meeting, and I will introduce the two of you sooner.”I squinted my e
To Love My Boss Chapter Seventy-Three: Nica, Playing A Victim
Marissa’s POVI 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.”“A
To Love My Boss Chapter Seventy-Four: Hidden Under the Table
Madeline’s POVI felt like I was showered with shame when I entered the lobby of the company with the employees stopping in their tracks. Or if they did not stop, they would just exchange whispers with each other as they talked about me. I prepared for this day to come. To be known by everyone to be the girlfriend of the CEO. Even I still can’t believe it. How much more for them?I wore my best coat dress. The expensive one that I bought last night when I went to the mall to prepare to face the people in the company. My heels were also brand new, YSL brand. My bag was a Louis Vuitton and my earrings were pearls now, not the hoop earrings, so I would look formal and presentable. I had a trim and made it wavy brown which the salon had done to me last night.And yup, I used my salary and the bonuses Diego has been giving me for the past few days for doing the services with the benefits I acquired. When I started walking through the lobby, I could sense the awkwardness they had in their

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 Elis
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
To Love My Boss Chapter Ninety-Three: Now Leave, Mr. Montero
Marissa's POV"If I could follow the contract, he would answer all of the hospital bills for my grandmother. I will also go to New York and have my dream job. In that way, I would reach my dreams and make my grandmother feel better," I explained."Marissa," he mumbled, and felt his hands on my shoulder. "Why did you not tell me? I could have helped you.""No," I said and shut my eyes. "I could never dare to involve you and Nica in my problems. You have done everything for me, and I would be ashamed to reach out to you.""Why would you even think about that? You are important to Nica and to me. If you didn't like Diego, you could have just reached out to us. How dare you think it would be shameful! Oh, goodness, Marissa. I am so sorry you have to put up with that situation."Before I could even completely react, he had already pulled me for a warm and tight embrace. The sadness and loneliness have already pent up inside my heart, making me sob against his chest as I feel his hand at th
To Love My Boss Chapter Ninety-Two: Brylle Going To Marissa's House
Marissa’s POV“You said you wanted to talk to me,” I said coldly as I watched the stars above me with deadpan eyes. “I am free tomorrow. You can bring Brylle over. I will text where.”I heard Nica inhale sharply. “Brylle would be grateful to talk to you,” she mumbled from the other line. He said he wanted closure.”“I know,” I said and looked down at the pavement. “I also need that, too.”The silence stretched as we shared it through the lines of our cellphones. I bit my lower lip as I realized that I had just killed my pride by deciding to talk to Brylle and Nica. Maybe I was also too hard on both of them over the years I was friends with them. Nica maybe was right. I was selfish and self-entitled.The call briefly ended. My sightseeing through the stars prolonged and I was too drowned in them that I barely recognized how late the night was already.Or maybe because I was still recalling how Madame Margarita and I negotiated that I will have to cut my connection with Diego. Because w
To Love My Boss Chapter Ninety-One: Tension In The Restaurant
Diego’s POVI played with the red wine inside my glass as Tito George and Ms. Zeana Tan were talking business in front of me. The customers inside the restaurant were filling my ears, but I barely cared about the conversations surrounding me. Only the words of Marissa were circling around my mind, repeating, again and again.She will never love me.She doesn't love me.And I should stop dreaming.Then were her smiles when she was in Palawan with me all fake? Was she just pretending that she was genuinely happy with me?“Hey, Diego…”I snapped out when I felt my uncle’s hand on my shoulder, shaking me a bit. He was furrowing his eyebrows at me and parting his lips, bestowing confusion across his face.“Are you okay? You look like you're occupied,” he concluded.“O-Oh,” I exclaimed and noticed that the both of them were just watching me thinking deeply. I had to clear my throat and straightened up while sitting on my chair. “What… Uh, I was not catching up. Where are we?”“We are talkin
To Love My Boss Chapter Ninety: Can't You Let Me Love You?
Marissa’s POVMy eyes stayed on the cup of hot lemon tea being poured by the maid, but I could still sense how Madame Margarita was staring at me suspiciously. When the maid transferred to her cup, I raised my eyes to her again. She squinted her eyes, while I still instilled my deadpan stare. “I will still not believe that you intend to not marry Diego after you said yes to him,” she said. “If so, what made you change your mind? Were you scared because I did not approve of you?” “No,” I confidently said. “I was willing to win you over.”“You will not win me.”“I know,” I also agreed, making her left eyebrow raise. “That is why retreating to the marriage would also be a good thing.”“I see where you are going.”“And I also know that you are only faking your illness,” she said. “You don’t have cancer.”Because of what I revealed, she flinched a little bit and was motionless for a minute. She tried to not make it obvious, but when she tried to open her mouth, it was trembling. In the e
To Love My Boss Chapter Eighty-Nine: To Make Things Right
Marissa’s POVJust by the mention of Brylle’s name, I had to face her and slap her in the face. I heard Ms. Gonzaga gasp because of what I did. Nica ticked her jaw and held the cheek I just slapped. She glared at me. “Stop talking to me as if we are okay!” I whispered loudly. “We were not okay the moment you stabbed me in the back. And what did you say? Brylle wants to talk to me. After what the both of you has done to me?” “That is why I want to “But I cut her off again. “And would you also deny that you scattered rumors about me just because I married my boss? Did you enjoy the fact that the employees where I work are talking behind my back? Have you always been threatened by me?!”“Yes!” Nica inhaled sharply and widened her eyes hugely because of the frustration that was pent up within her. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath tremblingly. When she opened them again, there were already tears pooling at its sides. “I hated the fact that the man I love was in love with my

Marissa’s POV“Thank you for your time joining me tonight, Ms. Dela Cruz,” Ms. Zeana Tan said to me when she dropped me off at the hospital. “I hope I did not waste it.”“I am even grateful towards you, ma’am, for choosing me as your company,” I said and smiled. “Is your husband not going to be mad at you for being late, ma’am?”She arched her eyebrow with a slight smile. “It is funny that you think I have a husband,” she said. “I am still single and not planning to marry anytime soon!”My eyes widened in fractions and panicked. “Oh, my god. I am so sorry. I did not know,” I said.“Don’t worry. I am not offended. Everyone, though, assumes the same.”“Who would not, ma’am? One, I think you are very beautiful, intelligent, wealthy, and successful. It is an obvious fact that many people would admire you, especially men!” I exclaimed.Ms. Zeana Tan only meaningfully smiled, like what I said was just a big deal to her. She stared at me for long. I wanted to avoid my gaze because she migh
