To Love My Boss Chapter Twenty-Two: Too Weird
Marissa's POV“What do I get from this, then?” I said and crossed my arms. My forehead held high, ready to negotiate on his offer. “What if I approve to be your wife?”The hope in his eyes was evident, so he straightened up as if he were going to war. “Anything you want. Tell me your price and I will negotiate," he said. I squinted my eyes and pouted for a minute, meaningfully trying to make him wait to create suspense. “Fine,” I answered and nodded slowly. “I will send an email to you tonight. I want a contract for me to be assured that you will pay my price. On that contract, I will input my conditions to be followed during my participation on your contract."“I will make the contract as soon as you give me an email,” he said and smirked. “Are you going to work tomorrow, then? That only means you are not going to be absent, right?"I almost furrowed my eyebrows as I saw slight enthusiasm. Why does he care if I go to work? If this is any other case and he is not asking for my help,
To Love My Boss Chapter Twenty-Three: As My Future Wife
Marissa's POVAm I doing the right thing, though?I looked at the massive building where I work from the outside after I got out of the taxi this morning - the VC Holdings Inc. Montero's Corporation is the largest building among the others in the city. I still remember how I nervously walked inside the building for the first time three years ago when I conducted an interview inside before I was accepted as the CEO’s secretary.When I got the position, all I could think about was to make my grandmother and myself proud. I promised myself that after I gained enough experience and skills, I would go abroad to earn more money and have the grandiose and successful career I want to have in life. But for some reason, now I am walking inside the building with the same nervousness and awkward walk. It is not because I will have an interview again, though. I am now in the building to finalize the contract Mr. Montero and I made. A contract that I do not know if it would change my life or not s
To Love My Boss Chapter Twenty-Four: Never Fall In Love
Marissa's POVI looked up to him finally. "Did you read mine, sir?" I asked. "I know that it could be too much, but I do not want my worth to be wasted just for the mere fact that I am your secretary."Mr. Montero had a ghost of a smile on his lips before answering. "Of course. All of your conditions and requested benefits are implemented. No exceptions," he said and tilted his head with his mysterious, prolonged gaze. "And I know how capable of a woman you are, so I will follow what you want."I averted my stare at him and focused on the papers plastered on the table. I read them discreetly and nodded in satisfaction. But before I signed them, I looked at him again, who had been staring at me for a long time. It's awkward, alright? I am not used to being showered with focus and attention just like he is doing to me right now. Before, he just rolls his eyes or disregards my presence."You read all of them?" I made sure and arched my eyebrow. "And I understood each one of them," he a
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
