To Love My Boss Chapter Twenty-Five: I Wanted To See You
Marissa’s POVThe exhaustion showered all over me as I aggressively sat on the swivel chair in my cubicle after a long day at work. Mr. Diego Montero attended two long formal conferences, three to four hours, and during those respective times, all I did was stand with my pair of killer five-inch heels.I know I am already accustomed to my job, but sometimes, my body cannot help but also be battered with exhaustion and dullness. I grabbed the mug from my desk and put it under the water dispenser. After pouring hot water, I put coffee powder and stirred it using a small spoon. I rested my back on the backrest and circled half to see the majestic view of the city.While I was having my siesta, my phone beeped. It must be a text message. When I looked at the screen, it was Nica who texted me.From: NicaHey. I am here in the hospital where your grandmother is confined. I brought some flowers and fruits for her.I immediately smiled in appreciation as I read the message from my best friend
To Love My Boss Chapter Twenty-Six: I Wanted To See You
Marissa's POV“What is the matter? What is funny?” I curiously asked. "You're laughing..."“Nothing,” he answered and avoided his gaze, now licking his lower lip. “I don’t know, but it feels weird to be called by you with my first name.”“I know,” I said in dismay. “That is why I should continue calling you formally-““No! No! I didn't mean it that way. I like you saying my name!” he defended in a desperate tone.“Huh?” I mumbled and my cheeks flushed red. “Uhhh… is that so?” I had to lower my head. “O-Okay… Diego.”I heard him inhale deeply, and I had to look up again to see his reaction. He was already smiling brightly with his sparkling eyes and enthusiastic nods of his head."That would be fine," he said. "Okay, you are already dismissed.""Thank you."I did not look at his face anymore and just straightly went out of the building without sweating. Thankfully, he did not try to chase me after going out of the building until I got a taxi for myself to the hospital. I was thinking a
To Love My Boss Chapter Twenty-Seven: Following Social Media
Marissa’s POVDay by day, I was starting to consider my feelings towards Brylle. At first, I never really regarded how he exerted efforts in courting me because I was too focused on my goals in my career. Now that I have achieved all of what I want, I began to crave what people commonly need - intimation and care. "You should give it a chance," Nica encouraged me when I confessed that I was starting to feel more about Brylle. "He's been courting you for a lot of years. He stood up for his feelings and never got attracted to another woman. He is kind, successful, and compassionate towards you. What else is lacking that you badly need from a man, Marissa?"I sighed and played the straw on my shake. "I... I want to try," I mumbled, later on shaking my head in disregard of the temptation to do it. "But now, it has become complicated.""Huh? What do you mean?"Instead of telling her the truth, I just bit my lower lip, refused to speak about it, and sighed heavily. Mr. Montero will soon an
To Love My Boss Chapter Twenty-Eight: Parents
Marissa's POV“What if you go to work, darling?” my grandmother suggested as I arranged the blanket above her. “I keep noticing that your focus is all on me now. You have to give attention to your career, you know. Have you gone absent for a lot of days just to go here in the hospital all the time?"I turned to her. I was wiping the side table with wet wipes when she spoke to me after watching me for a while. My lips stretched on their sides to form a sweet smile before I pulled the stool where I could sit. I held her hand and squeezed her knuckles.“I know, Grandma. You do not have to worry," I said in a small, sweet voice. “I have already submitted my excuse letters to my boss. He was okay because this was an emergency. I can just go back to the company when I am assured that you are going to be okay, alright? But I just cannot go to my work knowing that you are all alone here. I might get worried while working. My concentration would possibly be distorted just by the thought of you
To Love My Boss Chapter Twenty-Nine: Marissa's Social Media Accounts
Diego’s POVMarissa is absent again today. I tried to keep it low and just not mind it. I sighed and continued reading the paperwork on my hand from my table, my eyes constantly looking at the door of my office, hoping that Marissa would show up any minute.When I confirm that she would not appear, I would just sigh again and try to focus on what I was doing. At first, I could devour my mind in thinking about the content of my paperwork, but whenever my eyes would accidentally look at the door, she would only come back in my mind that I had to close my eyes and hit my own head with my paperworks.What the hell is wrong with me?! Since the day I wanted her to marry me on contract, I have seen myself obsessed with seeing and thinking about her. It is not the usual me, and I have never done this to her for the last three years she has been working with me.I admit that I was harsh to her, just like how I treat my employees. What I do admire about her is that she never complains of whatev
To Love My Boss Chapter Thirty: Diego's Hatred Towards His Father
Diego's POVI took a last glance at Ms. Gonzaga and her group. They heard my footsteps, saw me pass by them, and immediately straightened up before greeting me formally as if they just did not talk about me and Ms. Dela Cruz. Because they contributed to my brilliant idea, I bestowed a charming smile and winked at them that made them drop their jaw, flush their cheeks red, and fan themselves dramatically.Women...I shook my head with a playful grin on my lips and left them. I seized my day in a good mood. Even without my secretary's presence, Ms. Gonzaga was a good companion in my meetings. She was also an effective speaker during representations, trained by my beautiful secretary, of course. They both never disappointed me as a veteran in this company.“Good morning, Mr. Montero.”The door of my office suddenly opened after two knocks and Ms. Gonzaga showed up. I paused in typing from my computer. I looked at her curiously. She smiled politely, so I regarded her.“The chairman is her
To Love My Boss Chapter Thirty-One: When You Love Someone
Diego’s POVI put extensive effort and focus on my mother's condition. She always says that I was just being dramatic and I should stop hoping that she would live long. One to two months from now, she is expected to be confined in the hospital. Whenever I read her medical information and see her take medicines from time to time, the more my heart constricts and gives her the best times of her life as her son.“Thank you, doc,” my mother said to the doctor who checked on her before leaving the both of us inside the clinic. She then looked at me with a huge, angelic smile. “Are you sure it is fine for you to be with me in the hospital? Are you not busy in your office?"“Of course, Mom. You do not have to worry. What is important is I could be with you during your appointment," I said for assurance and smiled a little at her. “Does Dad know that you are here? He might look for you."For a bit, her expression changed, and was slightly taken aback, then tried her best to recover from her t
To Love My Boss Chapter Thirty-Two: Pretentious Love
Diego's POVI withdrew my cell phone from my slacks and saw that she still did not accept my following requests. I tilted my head and passed by a vending machine. After I had gotten my energy drink can, I proceeded to the area where there were patients near the glass door of the outdoor garden.I opened the glass door and the sun's rays met me, making me feel hot due to the business coat that I was wearing. Although it was barely hot, the blowing wind helped and did not stop me from walking through the pavements where blooming flowers and green, healthy plans were displayed. I was the only one who was there, and I wish nothing but a peaceful environment like this.But I was wrong thinking that I was alone. I just did not see the person from afar. Everything in the garden was beautiful, but as I appreciated its beauty, I saw from one of the benches a familiar back. It was a woman with wavy brown hair, and she was wearing a black coat dress. She was crossing her legs and motionlessly si
