16: Suspicions and Decisions
"Let's get some beef too." Zab exclaimed as we got into the meat section of the grocery.
"Hey, don't go overboard okay? We have a budget." I said to her and she just nodded at me and skipped off like a little girl through the aisles. I can't help but find her adorable. This is the first time she's doing groceries and I know how exciting it can be, I've been there.
"She looks pretty happy." I heard Gavin say as we tried and follow Zab around.
"My sister rarely gets out of the house so, as you can see that's what happens." I said to him as I start getting stuff from the shelves.
"Looks like you came from a pampered life." He said also getting some groceries done.
"You can say that." I quietly answered him, not wanting to get into the family topic.
It seems that Gavin understood this, he never mentioned anything about my family after that. We finished doing our groceries in a flash, Gavin insisted that he drive us home and with Zab with u

"What do you think about this storyline for the next volume, Cath?" I was snapped out of my dazed state by Janice's sudden question. "Ah. Yes. Uhm. Sorry. I mean. I like the storyline but I would like to have a rough draft of the dialogue first, so I can iron out any inconsistencies in the flow of the story." I barely answered, trying to get my head back in the game. I looked across the table at Gavin and he immediately mouthed 'Are you okay?' as soon as our eyes met. I nodded to him and tried focusing back on the meeting. I looked at my phone as soon as the meeting finished. It has been vibrating non-stop throughout the week. They came from different numbers, but after answering a few of them, I know exactly who was calling. Our parents. I can't change my number easily because all of my accounts are connected to this number, so it has been a nuisance to block and drop their phone calls multiple times a day. "You okay?" Gavin suddenly asked, and that'

"Stop making a fuzz, honey. It's getting a bit annoying and my ears are starting to hurt." She said to me while massaging her ears. Her bodyguards also got inside the car and before I could protest, we were already speeding out of the parking lot. "Stop the car!" I demanded but they just continued driving off. "They only follow orders from me, remember honey?" My mom, Zenaida Aragon, said with amusement in her voice. "What are you even doing here, mom? What do you want?" I just asked her to get this unwanted reunion over with. "Can't I talk to my own daughter? Does a mother need to have a reason to see her child? I've been waiting for hours here in the parking lot. You know I don't really get why you're stressing and troubling yourself with working for another company that makes you work for long hours when you can be the boss in any of our businesses." She said cracking her neck. "I don't need you to judge my decisions, mom. Just tell me what

"I'm sorry that we met this way, but I've heard a lot about you, Zoe. Your sister can't stop talking about you." Charlie said, raising his head up and then looking straight at me."Yeah, I would have preferred meeting you in a different situation but, let's just make do with what we have. I'm Zoe, Zab's older sister and you are?" I asked him."It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Charlie, Zab's boyfriend." He introduced himself, confirming my hunch about him."It's nice to meet you too. By the way, have you guys had dinner yet?" I asked, trying to lift the tension from the room."Now that I think about it. I think we skipped dinner and just fell asleep through the movie." Zab admitted, all her nervousness, now disappeared."Okay, I'll get change. You order some food and let's have late dinner together." I said to Zab and she began dialing on her phone."Sit down, Charlie. Make yourself at home. Don't worry, I don't bite." I jokingly said t

We finished our lunch with Axel and decided to get back to the office. We headed to the elevators and got in immediately. The elevator doors were about to close shut when Gabby rushed inside. "Glad I caught up!" She exclaimed catching her breath. "Going to annoy your brother again?" Andrea asked. "Nope, I came here to drag you away from the office to help me with something." Gabby said before I and Andrea could even stop her. "Andrea already has plans with her family tonight, Miss Gabriela." Axel interjected in the conversation. "No, she doesn't. She just told me earlier today that she'd just be in her PJs with a tub of ice cream tonight." Gabby said making Andrea almost bite her tongue. "I was going to tell you that my parents actually canceled. I just forgot." Andrea tried explaining to Axel. Axel smiled at him with hope in his eyes. "So, you're free tonight?" Axel asked Andrea as soon as he can. The doors of the elevat
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 21: A Wet Detour
It felt so awkward sitting on the passenger seat of Gavin's car again. The rain was still picking up and I don't think it would be stopping any time soon. "Gav, can you drop Zab to her house after dropping me off? It's raining cats and dogs. I don't think she'd be able to get a cab in this weather." she said, making me glare at her. I looked at Gavin and he was just smiling as he was driving. "No problem about that." He replied. "It's okay! You can just drop me off in the office. My car is still in the parking lot." I said to him, not wanting to be a nuisance. "Are you sure?" Gavin asked with his focus still on the road. "Yeah. I'll be fine." I said to him and he just nodded, while Gabby hunched back to her seat in disappointment. "Just drop me off here." Gabby said as soon as we reached her apartment building. "See you, Gab. Night." Gavin said. "Yeah. Good night Gabby." I said to her as she opened the door and go
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 22: Heated Encounter
I could feel his warm breath on my face, and waited but his lips never reached mine. I could then feel his absence, so I opened my eyes and I was right. He was gone. Moments after, he came out of his room, this time fully clothed. You can't blame me for being a bit disappointed with that. "I'll just get the food from the lobby." he said to me before heading out the door. As soon as he left, my knees buckled from under me and I collapsed on the floor. Gosh, does he even know how much effect he has on me? I can't believe I'm really falling for him. I went and waited for him on the couch as my heart started beating at a normal pace. I grabbed my phone from my bag to send a message to Zab. Got caught in the storm. I'll be home late. Just order some food. Let Charlie stay the night if you want. I'll see you when I get home. I stood up, looking around, trying to search for the air conditioner because I feel a lot colder than usual and

"Are you sure you're okay now?" Gavin asked me as soon as I got out of his bathroom with my already dried clothes from yesterday on me. "Yeah. I think I'm good Gavin. I think it's better for me to rest at home. Also, my sister would be waiting for me, she's alone at home." I said to him and he just nodded. "Okay, let's go?" He asked and I nodded at him. The two of us went out of his apartment, we walked through the hallway and I have a nagging feeling that we were being watched. I turned around looking for anyone around, but I saw no one, so I started walking again. I then felt a swoosh of air from behind me and then heard the sound of a door closing. I turned but I didn't catch a glimpse of where it came from. "What is it Cath?" Gavin asked. "It's nothing. I just think I heard something." I answered him and started walking again, towards the elevators. We went down to the basement parking and approached an unfamiliar sports car. I guess
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 24: Indefinitely
Focusing on doing your work is hard enough without your co-workers constantly stealing glances at you. I could hear all of them talking in hushed tones when my face was buried in my screen, but the moment I lift my head up, all of them would stop andpretend to be doing something else. "Let's have lunch." Andrea suddenly appeared behind my cubicle. These are the times that I'm absolutely grateful that I'm working at the same company as my best friend. I nodded at her and saved all my files before following her to the elevators.We got in the elevator and thankfully, we were the only two riding it down. "You sure you can make it through the rest of the day?" She asked as soon as the doors closed in. "I think so. No memo from the admin yet. I don't know if it's a good sign. I'm just worried about how Gavin's doing." I confessed to her and my surprise, she actually smiled at me, for the first time today. "You're having a hard time yourself, but
