Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 119: Starting from Scratch
Sitting on the plane, I was still second-guessing my decision. I looked at our son as he slept next to me and then, I heard his phone ringing. I got it from his bag and Gavin's number flashed across the screen. I declined the call and opened his phone only to see the tracker app open and there is Gavin's pin in the airport where our plane was about to take off. I deleted the app and turn off ZG's phone. I took a deep breath as the plane started moving. My mind is still wandering in different possibilities and decisions that I could have made. Should I have just stayed and let him explain? Should I just forgive him? Maybe, they're right. Maybe it was just a misunderstanding. If it was, does it justify why he lied to me for months? After a twenty-three-hour flight, me and my son arrived somewhere that I have only gone on vacations for the past years, here I am now, thinking of building a new home here with just me and my son. Because of my impulsive decisions I came here with no plan
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 120: New Life
Two years passed and I could say that I'm fine. I'm currently living abroad with my two kids, away from all the stress, drama, and heartache. At first, it was a struggle, starting a new life in a different place, with my four-year-old son and pregnant with my then unborn child. I haven't heard anything from Gavin since my mom gave him the divorce papers. Mom said that she left the divorce papers with him and Gavin told him that he would take care of it. I know I was petty, but I just couldn't think of anything else to stop the pain that I was feeling other than running away from him. A lot of people were against me leaving. They told me that I was just running away from my problems, but I was determined to leave and put all the pain behind me. I just wanted to forget about all the heartache and move on with my life, and that is what I did. The first year proved that it was going to be difficult raising my children alone, but I had to do it. Zia was a bit easier to handle since she w
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 121: Birthday Party
The day finally came and I could see that both ZG and Zia are really excited for the party. It’s going to be a small party with ZG’s schoolmates. It’s starting in thirty minutes and everything is in place, the only trouble was the clown that my mom hired. He hasn’t arrived yet. I stood there at the entrance of the venue carrying Zia, but not a sign of him. I’m seriously getting worried and ZG have been asking me about the clown every five minutes and I don’t know what to tell him. My mom didn’t give me and contact information for the clown, so I decided to call her. Her phone kept on ringing but she wasn’t picking up her phone. I then felt a tap on my shoulder and when I turned around the clown wearing a bright blue and yellow outfit with red hair and red nose was behind me. “Oh. You gave me a scared there. You shouldn’t sneak up on people like that.” I said to him and he just clasped his hands together like he was asking for forgiveness.“Can you not talk?” I asked him and he shook
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 122: Making Amends
After the fiasco with Nathan, I honestly don’t know what to do. He ruined ZG’s birthday and to be honest, I still couldn’t believe that he was that kind of a man and that I let him into our lives. The ride home was excruciatingly silent and the two of them stormed into their room as soon as we got home. They both refused to go talk to me and I really can’t blame them. I got into fights with ZG for defending that man while ZG tried to tell me what was happening when I wasn’t looking but I didn’t believe him. I wanted to talk to them and straighten everything out but I knew they needed their space. So, I just showered and was about to go to bed when my phone started ringing again. I’m pretty sure that it was Nathan. He had been calling non-stop since he left the party, but honestly, I don’t have anything to say to him anymore. I lay in my bed but I just couldn’t sleep. My mind was just running all over the place. Then, my phone started ringing again, thankfully, this time it was my mom
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 123: Kids Over Man
We spent the rest of the night packing our things after I booked our flight for tomorrow afternoon. Since it was a Friday, ZG decided to go to school to say goodbye to his friends before leaving. Since I still don't know when we'll be back, I decided to write a letter to his teacher. "Mommy, can I take this with me?" ZG asked, showing me the action figures that Gavin gave him on every occasion he can think of. "Just take one, Z. It might not fit in the luggage anymore. We haven’t packed your clothes yet." I said to him as I was folding his clothes."Okay. That’s fair." He said, before turning around and going back to his packing."Mimi! Bring this?" Zia suddenly said beside me. I looked over at her and saw her trying to wear one of my old bikinis. Oh, how just seeing it brings back memories. Zia has the same red bikini that I wore on the trip when their dad proposed wrapped around her neck. I felt a pang in my chest as I forced myself to smile at my daughter."Yes, baby. We'll bring
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 124: Homecoming
The ride home was excruciatingly long and uncomfortable. Thankfully, both ZG and Zia couldn’t keep their mouths shut and they were talking the whole ride home. ZG has always been close with his dad, so him being so talkative with him is expected. What surprised me is how Zia was so close to him. I mean, this was their first time seeing each other for two, almost three years and they act like they’ve been seeing each other every day.I could really see the difference in their attitude to Gavin compared to Nathan. I guess because they’re blood, they somehow have a connection even with being away from each other for so long. “Daddy, aren’t we going to our house? I want to show Zia my room.” ZG said as he peeked his head at the space between me and Gavin.“If your mom lets you then you can stay with me for as long as you want.” He said without taking his eyes off the road. The two then turned their attention to me.“What?” I asked them and the two put on their puppy dog faces.“Can we, mo
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 125: Back To Office
It’s been days since I last heard from Gavin. I mean I don’t think that we have anything to talk about, I just thought that he would be in contact with me for our kids. I guess I’m wrong. He talked big about wanting to spend some time with ZG and Zia but now, he’s missing in action. “You’re zoning out again, Cath.” Andrea suddenly said, making me snap out of my thoughts. “With the look on your face, I probably can guess what’s running in your mind.” “I just have lots on my mind, okay?” I said to her as I took a sip of my iced tea. She visited me this morning with her daughter. She’s leaving soon for work, and I agreed to watch Alexa for her today. “I think you just have one thing, or should I say, one person in mind.” She said teasingly as she took a bite of the brownie. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I said to her as I continued sipping my drink. “So, you’re telling me that it has nothing to do with Gavin not contacting you at all?” She asked me with a big smile on her
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 126: Photos and Papers
“Zoe, are you still planning on going back to the states?” Mom suddenly asked as we were having our breakfast. I looked at ZG and Zia, while my daughter was stuffing her face with bread, my son looked at me as if waiting for the answer to his grandma’s question. “I don’t really have any plans as of this moment, mom. I’m on indefinite leave at work, but I don’t know if I can get a job here.” I said to them and they all looked at me as if they couldn’t believe what I was saying. “Zoe, seriously? That’s what you’re worried about?” Zab suddenly asked me like I was saying something dumb. “You’re an heiress of one of the biggest business empires in the country, and you’re thinking that you couldn’t find a job here?” “Yeah, Cath. You can have any position that you want. You can even start your own business if you want.” Cam pitched in. “Your sisters are right, Zoe. You’re always welcome here, and besides, taking care of the kids would be easier with all of us here.” Mom said, and warmth i
