last update Last Updated: 2024-09-12 23:15:01

Marissa's POV

I hung my mouth in response to him. I actually did not expect him to answer that since it was too absurd and surreal. What does he mean that he wants to marry me? What about the list of perfect ladies that I prepared for him so he could pick whom he has discerned?

Am I on the list? No, I am not! I am his secretary!

At first, I laughed it off and then paused when he did not laugh like me. So he must be serious then! I dropped my jaw and started shaking my head.

Due to the surprise I was still savoring, I found myself being dragged away by Mr. Montero from the elevator as there were next passengers who wanted to ride and we did not want to be nuisances. He gently guided me out of the hospital and went to the garden with the sunset to end the day. His back was still turned to me as he let go of my hand gently.

“Mr. Montero,” I mumbled and blinked repeatedly, almost laughing out of fun. “What were you talking about? You want me to be your.... woah... do you even hear yoursel

  • To Love My Boss   Chapter-One-Hundred-Thirteen: Diego Is Mine

    Marissa’s POV“Marissa, where have you been? I’ve looked for you in the office, and Ms. Desmon that you were still not arriving!” Mrs. Rivera exclaimed as she approached me outside the conference room.I smiled at her apologetically. “I’m so sorry, madame. I had to do something important,” I said.She pouted and teasingly hovered her gaze from my head to feet. “Did it pressure you that I told you to wear something good in today’s meeting?” she asked.“Ah, haha, no, madam,” I said, chuckling and casually looking at the closed door. “Is everyone inside, madame?”“Technically, yes. Although all of the shareholders and board of directors are inside the room, Ms. Zeana Tan and Mr. George Benitez ate inside the building yet not arriving on this floor, so you got here first,” my boss explained, now holding the small of my back. “Shall we enter and greet the high-positioned individuals in the room?”“Sure, madame.”I was the one who opened the door for her before I followed her inside. Just l

  • To Love My Boss   Chapter One-Hundred-Twelve: Connection

    Marissa’s POV“I am not your wife if you recall, so stop saying to other people that I am,” I opened up when we got into the car and were now going in the direction of the company.“I’m just playing around,” Diego said and chuckled. “Also, I don’t see anyone to be my wife except you, so…”Ugh, he’s speaking gibberish again…I rolled my eyes and just withdrew my phone from my bag when I felt it vibrate. It was a text from Mrs. Rivera, asking where I am right now. Gosh, I still have not had breakfast and yet the meeting is going to start now in an hour. But whatever, it doesn’t matter. I can just eat after the meeting.“The meeting will start in an hour. You are included, if I am not mistaken,” I pointed out and turned my head at Diego.“Uhh, yes,” he said and casually looked at his watch. “Tito George told me so, after you told me last night.”I nodded and did not say anything until we arrived at the parking lot of the company. I was about to open the car door when Diego stopped my ha

  • 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
