Chapter: CHAPTER 15The sun peeked into the Chantel Grand Hotel suite casting rays on the two persons sleeping on the bed, who were still cuddled to one another from the night before.Gabriela woke up first with a pounding headache and while she tried to stretch on the bed, she felt someone breathing next to her, she opened her eyes slowly and behold a man was shirtless, sleeping next to her with his arm placed across her body.“Simon”She whispered jumping off from the bed, confused and lost of words. She looked down at herself to ensure that nothing more than sleeping next to her Boss had happened.She sighed in relief as she found all her clothes including her underwear on. At that moment Simon squeezed his eyes and looked dumbfounded on the bed.“Ramirez, what are you doing here?”Simon asked, still trying to recollect his memories from the night before.“Seriously? I could ask you the same thing Mr CEO, but there's no time, we need to get out of here before someone sees us”Gabriela said hurriedly,

Chapter: CHAPTER 14“This doesn't make any sense” Gabriela muttered while Jimmy took a sharp turn. They've been following the car Simon got in for straight ten minutes and they were not taking any weird corners or silent streets.“Would kidnappers not take their hostages to an uncompleted building or a warehouse?”Gabriela asked, confused, as they approached the heart of the city which was filled with lively music and bright street lights.Jimmy also looked baffled.“I guess, we'll find out soon enough”The car ahead of them parked in front of a hotel, not just any hotel but “The Chantel Grand”. A popular five-star hotel is known for its luxurious suites, seafood restaurant, and amazing rooftop club.“Wait a minute, this is where they brought him?”At that exact moment, Simon stepped out of the car, laughing and holding a red plastic cup.The man Gabriela thought was in serious danger, was just there laughing and sipping alcohol.“I can't believe this…”Gabriela placed her hand on her forehead and sho

He reminded her of her late grandpa who loved to talk and compliment the good things of life.“Bye Sir, drive carefully”Gabriela weaved at him as he drove off.She stood in front of the entrance and took a deep breath. She walked down to the executive lounge which was already filled with directors in sharp refined suits and ladies with beautiful long dresses.She walked in with confidence and an impeccable posture, Gabriela definitely stood out, slowly people began to notice her presence and eyes fell on her as some people didn't recognize her and wondered who she was.Her rolled hair fell on her shoulder in a very sleek manner an

Chapter: CHAPTER 12Gabriela strolled into the company to begin another day in hell, she remembered she had a ton of emails she had left unattended and definitely the Head of Operation won't keep her off the hook.While entering the premises, she noticed the atmosphere, something was going on but she couldn't tell what exactly.A bunch of people were working in the executive lounge, placing fresh daisies into vases, arranging tables with clean white covers, and fixing banners.“Hey, what’s going on?” Gabriela asked one of the interns who was passing by with a large brown box on her arm.“They are preparing for tonight's party, to celebrate the new partnership”The young girl mentioned while struggling to hold the heavy box.“Party??? I wasn't informed of any party”Gabriela stood wondering if anyone had mentioned any celebratory party.“HOP sent out invites to everyone’s email”The intern said finally dropping the box as she couldn't hold it anymore.“She did?”Gabriela said crossing her arms, with an a

Chapter: CHAPTER 11“Mum, you should have been more careful. Who slips and breaks an arm?”Gabriela said, anxiously looking at the wrapped bandage on her mom’s arm.Mrs Ramirez laughed despite her daughter's worry.“My sweet girl, it was a tiny accident, you don't have to worry so much.”Gabriela placed her hand on her forehead, those words were far from giving her ease. She paced across the long hospital corridor, wondering why all these misfortunes were attacking her family.Before she knew it, a tiny voice said out of nowhere:“Gabe, I'm hungry, I want some chocolate.”Diego had followed his mom to work at the private hospital where they were currently.He stayed in the kids’ care section to play with the other kids, which was specially made for employees and patients with children.Gabriela grabbed Diego's little hand and led him to a nearby vending machine, leaving her mom, who was discussing with her colleagues who came to check on her.After getting Diego's chocolate bar, Diego sat excitedly, enjo

Chapter: CHAPTER 10Gabriela woke up pretty well, went for a jog, and had breakfast with her family. Tuesday was her favorite day of the week because it was her day off from work.A whole 24 hours out of sight from Mr Ramsey's annoying expression, that was the life, she thought, snacking on some fresh strawberries.“If pure bliss had a flavor, it would be the taste of fruits and no errands from Simon” She muttered, humming in happiness.At noon, she had showered, curled her hair, and wore a plain tee and jeans to meet up with her bestie Jennie. A new boba tea cafe shop had opened recently and she couldn't wait to try it out.They met at Boba & Sip, a pastel coloured shop with the decor of a nursery school, if not for the giant signboard that read “Boba&Sip” she would have missed the place.Jennie was already there sipping on an extra-large cup of pink boba tea.“Gabe, you won't believe who I saw earlier today”Jennie mentioned immediately Gabriela sat at the table.“Good afternoon to you too Jennie” Ga
