Chapter 41

MaxwellThe boy was very excited and small. Kyle.I've never really had to deal with anything or one that small, and he grabbed my hand once we got to the amusement park, startling me."Let's go to this place" he said as he dragged me to a section that attended to rides and I shook my head."Uhm... How about we go for that one?" I pointed to the water slides in the corner, but he was already queuing for the rides.F*ck! I hate rides more than anything in this world."Whoo!" The boy squealed once we were strapped to our chairs, his small body moving in the large chair and I closed my eyes at the start of the ride.Sh*t! Why did I involve myself in this?*Flashback*What is your name?" Kyle, the son of my secretary who had followed me up the stairs, asked as I walked into my room and I turned to face him.I thought of the question, "uncle... Max..."He pursed his lips, "uncle Max?""Hmm, hmm""So you're my mom's boss, right?" I nodded, "Correct.""Then you're the one who has been keep

MaxwellThings were quiet between us. The elevator rides, the talks in my office and now on another elevator ride.I wondered why she wasn't talking back or lashing out like she normally did. It was one thing I loved about her, even though it was annoying.It was like she had just lost every ounce of fight within her and I wondered if it was because of what I had said the other day.That must be why you're a single mother.I felt like kicking myself.Why did I have to say that?That was something that probably served a deep wound to her and I had said it so nonchalantly and coldly.I collected the files from her hand and sat down on my seat.She was quiet and waiting for my next instructions."Coffee, make me some coffee"She nodded and went out to get it while I looked through the files she had given me.Possible ideas for the re-branding.Nice, but I needed something more subtle and elegant. Even better if we could do it in time for the cosmetic release.I pursed my lips and pondere

Raya"What? Business trip?" Kendall was just as flabbergasted as I was when I told her later that evening at her house and she turned away from the cookies she had just popped into her oven."But you've never had to go on a business trip before.""I know right. It's just so sudden.""To which country though?"I cocked my eyebrows at her, "that's not the point here. It's the fact that I'm going to be separated from Kyle and I don't even know for how long.""True" she toned down the happiness I had seen on her face."But still... You could use it as a mini-vacation. You have, like, literally never gone out of New York since you were born."I rolled my eyes, "true, but it's called a business trip for a reason, not a mini-vacation.""Hey, but I'm sure you'll be able to relax, sight-see and eat foreign foods." I rolled my eyes again, "how do I tell Kyle though? We've, literally, never separated from each other before, and it might seem strange to him.""Are you sure you're not the one bei

RayaI handed my bag to the flight attendant, staring in awe as they led us up to the place where we would sit inside the plane.What? This sh*t was fancy. Like really fancy."I didn't know your family had a private airline," I said in an attempt not to seem too nervous, but I was.My palms were sweating, and I was feeling quite nauseous."We do. You should know that as a Sterling group employee"I rolled my eyes, "just because I work for Sterling doesn't mean I have to get myself involved in their lives."He turned to me and stared once we were seated.I glanced away, "what?""You're nervous, aren't you?""Uhn?""You're more talkative than you've been in the past few days."I glanced away.That was because he had hit a nerve with the statement he made that day at his house.That was why I was a single mother.The motherf*cker. But what was I expecting? He's an a**hole anyway, and I've decided not to let his words get to me.Though I think he must have been hurt to react like that

RayaWhat?A wedding?I paused in my tracks to process that and waited for Mr. Sterling to notice my absence from his side, before confronting him about it."What are we doing here? At your brother and his fiancée's wedding...""I was invited, remember?""But I wasn't.""You're here to help me, not to attend the wedding. We'll just be here till it's over"I stared at him dumbfounded but had to follow after him. After all, he kind of made sense, but he could just have put me in a hotel or something, instead of bringing me here."This is where you'll be staying" the assistant who had led us the whole way to our room said as she stopped in front of a door and I waited for her to show us another door.They both walked in, and I went in after them too."If you need anything, you can get me on that landline.""Okay, that'll be all then.""Wait? What of my room?" They both turned to me like I was an alien.Mr. Sterling waved the woman away, and I turned to him, flabbergasted, "I need my room

Raya"Are you just going to stand there?" I turned to Mr. Sterling, who was moving out of the room again, and I followed after him, packing my messy hair into a ponytail.That must be why she had touched my hair. But, servant's quarters?The woman was really something.I thought she would be chill like she had been the other day at his house, but guess she had developed some beef with me since that day."Where are we going?" I asked Mr. Sterling once I was beside him again, and he glanced at me."I'm guessing you must not be hungry then.""Uhn...""I thought you would be hungry since we've not had anything to eat since our meal on the airplane.""Oh.""You must have had a nice sleep though, considering how disheveled you are."He gave me a look from head to toe and I immediately rubbed my face, looking away from him, "it's jet lag.""I know.""But where did you go all this while?" I asked, cause there was no way he was just coming to the room when he saw me with Miss. Diane and ah, d

MaxwellI stared at my secretary who left, confused about what I had done.But wasn't that the truth?She had a child yet was always acting coy and innocent like she had never had sex before or seen a naked man before.I huffed and got into the bathroom, taking a long shower and by the time I got out, she was still not back in the room.Where could she have gone?I shook the thought off my mind, and got on my bed to roam around the internet as well as focus on work a bit and when I heard footsteps heading close to the room, I wasn't sure why I did it, but I pretended to be asleep.Maybe for her comfort, maybe to avoid the awkwardness, I stayed still on the bed as she shuffled around the room, then I heard her talking quietly, away from me."My baby""I miss you too.""I didn't call, because I thought it would be night.""How are you doing?"She must be talking to her son.I stayed like that till she was done with the call, holding my breath in order not to give myself away, and I took

RayaI stood up after sitting out with Mr. Sterling for a while, "uhm... I'll head inside."He nodded, and I walked back to our room, wondering why he had been so nice to me. Taking me out to the beach to sit with me was not something every boss did with their secretary.I gasped and rushed to put away my sleeping pills once I saw them on the table.He must have seen them, right?It was probably why he did that, because he pitied me.I sighed and ran a hand through my hair again before lying back on the couch.It was just around 4am, so I couldn't roam about the place like I would like to. I had only seen a fraction of the establishment, and it had been in the night too, so I sat up to do some work on my laptop.I gathered the reports that Mr. Sterling had asked for, glancing at him momentarily when he walked back into the room, and he laid quietly on the bed, while I worked, though I could feel his eyes on my back.Why was he staring at me?I didn't fall asleep again until it was mo

MaxwellMost of the guests were already arriving by the time we got back to the resort and that included my parents too.I excused myself from the room to go meet them.My mum immediately hugged me on seeing me, "I'm guessing you've accepted it now, seeing that you came early."I rolled my eyes, "I came for business, not just the wedding, and did you really have to fly out people just to hold the wedding in Thailand?""The bride wanted it" my dad interjected, "...and her family agreed too""Well, whatever.""I'm proud of how you handled the matter" my dad said, sitting up on the bed that was just as big as the one in my room.Mom was unpacking their things, "I've always had a knack for handling things well."My mum chuckled, and my dad smiled, "We all know that's not true.""Have you greeted your brother?" My mom asked as I was about to leave and I shook my head."We're going to see each other at the rehearsal dinner, anyway, so...""Please, make sure you behave yourself."I shrugged,

Chapter 50

RayaI finally found the restroom, taking a deep breath once I was in, and I stood in front of the large mirror, taking deep gulps of breath.Jeez, did they have to stare like that?I had wished for the ground to open up and swallow and also cursed the moment I decided on putting on the dress I had found.It had laid on the bed, elegant and pretty with a note saying to wear it if I wanted, and I thought about it for minutes.If I didn't go, it would seem rude, but what do I care? It's not like I knew her before. Still, she had invited me personally.I shouldn't insult her by not going.I had finally picked up the dress to wear and immediately loved it, on wearing it.It fitted me perfectly and my hair, left down, had done even more justice to the cloth. I jumped when a lady in blue walked in. She was a bit tanned with dark hair, and she smiled when she saw me, "hi""Hi" I said, nervous all over again."I've never seen you before."Okay, they were saying it like they all knew each ot
