Chapter 4

Chapter 4 

I didn’t sleep much because of the extreme embarrassment last night. I don’t feel like going to the company and facing my boss right now.

I roll over in my bed. I don’t want to remember what happened yesterday but it keeps on haunting me. 

“I can feel your nips, it’s fucking hard, sweetheart. Are you horny? ”

 “I can feel your nips, it’s fucking hard, sweetheart. Are you horny? ” 

“I can feel your nips, it’s fucking hard, sweetheart. Are you horny? ” 

That sentence repeatedly played in my brain. 

“Kyaaaaah !! Stop it! Get out of my mind! Will you ?? ” I screamed as I rolled over again on the bed.

 I was suddenly startled when someone cursed by my side. 

“Come on, Scarlet Hart !! Can you be quiet? You see, I am sleeping! ” my friend shouted at me. 

I winced because it's early in the morning yet she was cursing.

“God, Aira! Why are you cursing me? ” I threw a pillow at her. I sighed when she stuck her tongue on me.

She took and hugged the pillow. I just shook my head and got up.

 It’s 6 am in the morning, I still wanted to sleep but I couldn’t because I have a job to do. 

If I weren't an idiot, I didn't realize that the nipple tape I was wearing last night had fallen off. My boss felt my nipple and it was embarrassing. 

Fuck! I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for me and Aira. I cook fried rice, tocino and eggs for our breakfast. I love tocino so I always have it for breakfast every day. I will never get tired of eating it.

This is the most expensive thing I ate when I was still on the Island. We only eat it once because we don't have money. Even P100 is hard to find there. 

I was lucky because I was able to come here in Manila, with the help of my aunt, she was a G.R.O. in the club. She wanted to take me with her but I didn't want to sell my soul those maniac people. So I really looked for a decent job and I was lucky enough to be hired by a respected and famous company here in the Philippines, Berkshire Inc. 

Not to brag but I am also smart. I was a valedictorian in elementary, high school and Cum Laude in college. I remember how happy I was when I was hired by that company. Out of 100 applicants only ten were accepted and I was one of them. I was so happy that I immediately called my parents and told them that I already had a job. They were very happy. I promised to buy them nice clothes and shoes. So when I got my first salary at the company, I immediately bought them cheap shoes at Divisoria. Even though it was cheap, my siblings were overjoyed. I also installed electricity in our house, I also bought a washing machine and shellane so that they would not have any more difficulties. 

I have also been able to fix up our house. I'm very happy because little by little we finally overcame our financial problem. Somehow the salary in the company was high, especially now that I have been promoted as the secretary of our boss. 

I considered my boss as a lucky charm because if I hadn’t met him I wouldn’t have been promoted as secretary of his company.

"Hey! Are you okay? ” I was brought back to reality when someone slapped my arm. 

"What the fuck!" I exclaimed.

 “I'm sorry, is there a problem? Are you thinking about your family again? ” Aira asked. I nodded.

“Don't worry, when we are no longer busy in the office, we will request to leave the company together. I will go on vacation with you in Siargao."

I smiled at her. I'm so lucky to have a friend like Aira. 

"Thank you Aira, maybe my life here in Manila would be very sad without you."

“Of course! I was the only one who made your life happy here, BEFORE.” 

She emphasized the word before that raised my eyebrow. What does she mean? 

 “Because someone is making you happy right now! That hot stripper at the Royal Night Club! Why don't you get his number and invite him to have a one night stand with you! ” My eyes widened because of her suggestion. I slapped her on the arm and rolled my eyes.

 “Watch your mouth, Aira!” I shouted at her.

"Don't tell me you're a virgin?" she asked. I blushed at what she said because it was true. I have never had a boyfriend in all my life. I have had no boyfriend since birth.

 “Let's just eat! You really know too much!" I told her and started eating my food. When we finished eating we took a shower and prepared ourselves.

 It was 7:45 when we arrived at the company. The guard greeted us enthusiastically. Aira was in a bad mood because the new security guard kept on winking at her. 

“The company's new security guard was so annoying! He kept on winking at me like Iw! I have a high standard when it comes to men and I will never like him! ” she exclaimed as I laughed at her.

 “If he was just as handsome as Tom, I would go but he's ugly so nevermind! ” she continued. I just shook my head at her. 

"Just ignore him, Aira."

 "Okay, I don't want to start my day annoyed eh. " 

"All right, I'll go upstairs, I'm sure our boss will come down and find out that we are gossiping early in the morning!" 

 “ Okay! See you in a bit!” 

We kissed and bid goodbye to each other. I was in a hurry when I entered. I was relieved because Mr. Berkshire was not there. I hope he will not come today because I'm not ready to face him yet. I still couldn't move on from what happened last night. Shit! I was busy fiddling with my laptop when the office door opened, my breath stopped because I knew that it was Mr. Berkshire. I slowly stood up and greeted him without hesitation. I just bent down and closed my eyes. I hope he will just ignore me. I felt relaxed as he walked straight into his office and ignored me. 

"Yes!" I whispered to myself. 

I sat down with a wide smile. Fortunately, he didn't pay any attention to me. My God, I don’t know what I’m going to do if he talks to me. I continued my work with a smile on my face, I was just praying that he would not call me. I was rolling back in my seat when someone called me on the phone. 

Uh oh!

"Hello, this is Berkshire Inc. Scarlet speaking, how may I help you?" 

"Come here," replied by the other line. 

I stiffened when I realized it was our boss. I slapped my forehead, I just wanted him not to call me right now! Oh God! Please help me. I just blushed when I heard him clear his throat.

 "Yes sir," I said and the call ended. My hands trembled as I entered his office. I don’t know what to tell him after what happened last night. For pete’s sake, he just felt my tits! 

“Ms. Scarlet, how are you today? ” he asked with a wide smile on his face.

Is he teasing me?. I took a deep breath and dared my gaze on him. 

"Im O-okay, Sir." I couldn't control the tension in his gaze so I just avoided looking at him. 

"That's good to know." I saw his gaze drop to my tits and I immediately hugged myself to cover my chest.

 "I'm sorry for what I said last night, I'm just teasing you." He looked up and stared at me.

 “It's okay, Sir. What do you need from me? ” 

He got up and approached me so I stepped back at him. I'm nervous about what he's doing, will he dance with me again? Fuck, I'm not ready. I closed my eyes because he was  so close to me. 

“Why didn't you have a bra last night? What if someone took advantage of you? ” he said emphatically.

 "Because my nipple tape fell off ----" I covered my mouth. 

"Nipple what?" he asked. 

"Ah, it's nothing!" I laughed nervously. 

 “Tell me, what is it?" he asked me again. 

Why is he so annoying? It’s a girl thing and he doesn’t even know it. Why would he even bother to know it? 

“It’s a girly thing, sir. You will never understand. ” I averted my eyes from him.

 “Tell me, what’s that nipple tape? Is that a fake boobs or something?” 

I was a little irritated by what he was asking. It was an awkward topic doesn’t he know that? 

“Why do you want to know, Sir? Do you have a plan to wear it? Are you gay? ” I asked him without hesitation. 

I realized what I said, shit! I didn’t think twice. I’m really dead! 

“What did you just say? I’m gay? ” 

He got closer to me and he pressed his body to mine. I was surprised and stepped back at him.  I didn't know that there was a sofa behind me so I unfortunately fell. I immediately grabbed his suit so that I could stop myself from falling. To my surprise, he fell down on top of me. 

Suddenly, my heart kept on beating and my eyes also widened when I realized he’s on top of me and our lips met. 

 “Oh my God! My first kiss! ”

I can't move because he’s too heavy. He suddenly stood up and distanced himself from me. 

 "Are you okay?" he asked worriedly. 

I nodded and stood up. My cheek was burning, I could feel it. I suddenly burst into tears when I I realize what happened to us. 

"You! You stole my first kiss! How dare you!”  I bursted.

He was startled when I shouted at him, he was about to approach me but  I ran away from his office and went straight to the bathroom.
