All Chapters of Loving Jupiter : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

 The ringing doorbell woke me up from my deep slumber. I grumbled and shifted to the other side of the bed, trying to pin my ears on the soft pillow to avoid hearing the vile sound. I don’t remember changing the alert tone of my doorbell. So who the hell set it into a car honk?!“Juno… get the door, please.” I croaked out before attempting to give her a kick. My foot landed on the empty space beside me so I slightly panicked. I turned back on the other side and my eyes widened when I didn’t see Juno lying in there.Where is she? Did she go out already to get the door? But the honk hasn’t stop…I quickly rose from the bed to check whoever’s outside. I looked around the house on my way to the door, hoping to see Juno, but I didn’t see any single trace of her anywhere. Could it be that she went out early this morning and then attempted come back but didn’t know how to enter my apartment agai

 “Meeting adjourned,” I announced to the board after a long two hours of boring reports and presentations. I remained seated on my chair while watching everyone step out of the conference room one by one. After greeting and shaking hands with me, of course…“Email the minutes to me before lunch,” I told Monica who’s standing stiffly beside me while holding her jotter pad. “Any news about my secretary?”Monica sneered shamelessly so I shot her a glare. This girl has been acting up lately as if I wasn’t the one paying her monthly bills. What if I fire her too like what I did to my former secretaries who were all nothing but failures and disappointment to me? God… when will you give me an efficient assistant who’s actually gonna be of help to me? It’s either they’re clueless about the job or they’re shamelessly flirting with me. Which is even worse! If only I can voice out t

 Monica arrived in my office a minute later carrying a thick pile of papers in hand. The resumes were as thick as two books of encyclopedia. And just when I thought that it was all in total, another employee came in after Monica to follow up the remaining papers.“Will that be all?” I asked, sighing in exhaustion while eyeing the pile of resumes on top of my table. Monica smirked with crossed arms. She then signaled for the other employee to leave the room to give us privacy.I deeply frowned at her bossy action. I knew her position’s way above that employee and she didn’t even commanded her rudely but it’s pissing me off that she’s enjoying this power tripping too much. I shot her a glare and she chuckled, slowly pacing back and forth in front of me.“I’m guessing you’ve seen the circulating article online.” The smirk plastered on her lips grew wider.My hands balled into a fist. Th

 “Miss Soledad cancelled her appointment this nine AM due to some emergency problems. She mentioned to report either this noon or by tomorrow.” Monica informed me through the phone and I immediately tensed on my seat.“Emergency? Did she mention anything about it?”“Not really. Do you want me to call her back and ask?”I quickly shook my head as if Monica can see me. “No! Don’t! She might think we’re being invasive. Update me immediately if she ever decides to report later.”“Sure!”I dropped the call and faced my laptop where I’ve been rereading the damn article for two days now. The article has been viewed twenty four thousand times now according to the site. I wonder how many of those people got a clue about my identity…It’s been bugging me a lot. But on the other side, I’m silently celebrating my nearing reunion with Juno. When

  “Can’t wait to introduce you to him, Juno. I hope you two get along well. He’s a very nice and sweet guy,” I said, scrolling past the photos on the personal album I’ve made in my gallery that was dedicated for my boyfriend. I pocketed my phone and looked back at Juno who’s busy chomping on the food we ordered. She looked funny with her mouth full and wrinkled forehead. Her eyebrows were almost meeting halfway and the way she’s gripping the utensils seemed a bit forceful to me. Is she even listening to whatever I’m saying? I cocked my head and smirked. “Slow down. You might choke.” Juno emitted a low grumble. “Why’d you stop? Keep going. I like hearing you talk about the love of your life right in front of my salad.” My gaze fell down on the untouched bowl of vegetable salad in front of her since she’s busy wolfing on the pasta. I chuckled silently as I continued watching her eat with gusto. Or anger is the right term? I inwardly
