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
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 127: In His Arms Again
I felt nervousness creep up in my chest as I held the envelope in my hand. It looks familiar to me, I just don’t know where I saw it before. I opened it but got more confused. Inside were crumpled and ripped-up papers. They weren’t shredded, they look like they were ripped by hand angrily. I took out all of the papers and placed them on the floor. Everything got me so intrigued that I started putting the pieces together. Why would he even keep these papers if he already ripped them apart? I was seriously having fun putting the pieces back together like a puzzle when I finally noticed something off. I found familiar writing in one of the pieces. I looked at it closely and noticed that the writing looks like my own handwriting. I rummaged through all the pieces and I finally found a piece that fits the last one. It wasn't just my handwriting, it was my signature. I started putting the papers together faster than before, and somehow it started to make sense. It was some sort of contr
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 128: Dinner Disaster
I suddenly felt a pang of nervousness as we got nearer and nearer to my parent’s house. This is the first time that Gavin and Nathan would see each other and I honestly don’t know how this would play out. “Everything’s gonna be fine, love. Don’t worry, I’ll try to keep my cool.” He said to me holding my hand as we took a turn on the street going to my parent’s house. “As long as he doesn’t get on my last nerve.” I heard him whisper under his breath. “Gav!” I exclaimed as I saw him smirk while still focused on the road. He let out a slight chuckle as he continued driving. “What? I’m just saying. I’ll behave if he behaves.” He replied to me and finally the gates of our mansion were insight. My heart started beating out of my chest as I got out of the car and walked towards the house. Gavin followed behind me and we were immediately greeted by Zab and Cam as the front door opened. “Thank god you’re here. Nath…” Zab said but she immediately paused, her eyes focusing on the person behi

“Can I ask a question?” My voice almost cracked as I forced those words out of me. Gavin faintly smiled and sat down on my bed, nodding before looking me straight in the eyes, waiting for what I wanted to know. I took a deep breath and swallowed the saliva that was building in my mouth because of my nerves. I'm still not convinced if I should ask this but, it's now or never. “What happened with Kacey?” I finally managed to ask but I refused to look at him straight in the eyes. I honestly didn’t know how he would react and I don’t even know what I wanted to hear from him. I looked down at my fidgeting hands as I braced myself for his answer. I then felt his finger under my chin, tilting my head up to look at him. He had an amused smile on his face, making me confused and then angry. “What’s so funny?” I asked angrily as I slapped his hand away from my face but he just responded with a chuckle making me angrier. I was about to jump out of bed and walk out on him but before I could mo
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 130: Family Time
The weeks went by in such a bliss and now, we’re moving back in with their dad in our old apartment. It took a lot of convincing on my side but eventually, Gavin was able to make me agree with him. “Are we there yet?” Zia asked for the nth time as we were driving to the apartment. She has been very excited since we told them about the move, and couldn’t wait to see the room her big brother was talking about. “No yet baby. We’ll have to stop to get some groceries, remember?” Gavin answered her sweetly. “Aww. Are we going to stay there long?” She asked again with a pout on her face. “Come on, Zia. It’s going to be fun. And you can pick out some decorations for our room.” ZG said, calming her sister in the back seat. “Yey!” Zia screamed as she started humming the theme song of her favorite show. Thank goodness, ZG knows precisely what to say to his sister in every situation. When we got to the groceries, the two of them walked in front of me and Gavin and started getting things that
