All Chapters of The New Boss Is My Husband: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Arrienne PovI just stared at the newcomer. I couldn't move. I didn't know what to do. Oh my God, this isn't real, is it? This is just a dream! I'll wake up soon! "I'm Jace Garcia, the new owner of the company.Who's the supervisor here?Boss," he suddenly said. That voice. I know it well. It seems this is not a dream."Ahhm, I'm the supervisor," Ms. Grumpy said while standing up. "Ms. Carmen Demetrio." She emphasized the "Miss" while extending her hand. I couldn't tell if I should be annoyed or laugh at her. You could hear the flirting in her voice. I just raised an eyebrow when I looked into her eyes. It's like a child told by her mother to have "beautiful eyes." It doesn't suit her face, or her age. She's probably older than our boss! "Hi Ms. Demetrio. As I can see it, you're only four here in the team," the boss said while reaching for the hand of the flirtatious old woman, then looked at us one by one. His gaze paused for a moment on me. I felt some kind of emotion in it. Was

Arrienne Pov"Wait, he's your boss now? How did that happen?" Jacky asked in amazement. "Didn't I tell you? The previous owner migrated after his wife died and he didn't want to handle the company anymore, so he sold it. The rumor is he doesn't plan to come back." I explained. "Wow! So you're the boss there too! If Jace owns the company, that means it's yours too! You'll be called 'Ma'am' by your supervisor." Jacky looked at the ceiling as if imagining what would happen when I was called Ma'am. "You're crazy! Remember, Jace and I are separated? All we need is an annulment. And I'm sure he's already arranging that at this very moment." It's true. I left Jace almost three years ago, even before we had been together for a year. I was forced to get married. My future depended on it. I was still in my third year of college when we got married. My dad threatened to disown me. I was still weak-willed back then. I didn't know where I would go if my dad followed through with his threat. I

Arrienne's PovI keep going back and forth about going in. Maybe I should just stay home? I could file for sick leave that way, I'd have an alibi for what happened last night. I'm already feeling nervous. I didn't show up last night for my meeting with Jace.Wait a second. Can that even be called a "meeting"? I never agreed to go, so it wasn't really a meeting!Haha!That's right it's not my fault.As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, Carl was already there waiting for me.I ignored him and kept walking inside."Hey, Arrienne, wait up !"I could hear him running after me since I had sped up my pace. "I bought you some Lumpia Shanghai. I passed by a shop earlier." He handed me a plastic bag.I stopped in my tracks.Sh*t, Lumpia shanghai! My favorite! "Thanks, Carl!" I said, taking what he was offering."You're the best!" In my excitement, I pinched his cheek.He was stunned. He didn't move, so I took the chance to head inside. He really looked shocked - speechless, even."Something's d

Arrienne's POVIt was only four o'clock, but I had already finished packing. I wasn’t bringing everything with me—just the important things. Besides, I wasn’t going to live there forever.I looked around the condo. I was definitely going to miss this place. I had lived here for two years.I remembered how Jace used to be such a good husband to me. I mean, he was a perfect husband. He gave me whatever I wanted, did whatever I wanted... well, not everything, but if he could, he’d give it to me right away without hesitation. I hope he’s still the same as before. I hope he hasn’t changed because of what I did. And yes, it was my fault that we separated.I once met a guy from UP. He was handsome, smart, a gentleman, and rich. A dream guy for any girl. I admit, I did have a small crush on him. But not to the point where I wanted to have a relationship with him.But this guy really liked me. He was hitting on me, and he thought we had "something." But for me, he was just a friend. Then the d

"Maico...""!" He suddenly hugged me.O_OHe let go, but his hands were still on my shoulders."How have you been??" He hesitated. "H-how are you two?"I pretended not to understand what he meant."Huh? Oh, I'm doing fine."He smiled.I knew he was referring to how things were between me and Jace."Arrienne!" Jacky called out. "Why did you suddenly..." She glanced at Maico. "..run?" she whispered, not taking her eyes off him.The other three followed behind her, and they also froze upon seeing Maico."Ah, I was just going to the restroom. I told you, didn’t I?"They didn't answer and just walked toward me.Genna and Jacky stood beside me, while Joy and Aya just stared.They weren’t even smiling."Hi, Maico. Nice seeing you... again." Jacky emphasized.Genna subtly pulled my hair."Oww!" I suddenly yelped.Maico looked at me, his expression filled with concern."Why, Arrienne? What happened to you?" Maico asked.I glanced at Genna.She gave me a mischievous smile."Oh, nothing. A MOSQU
