“He allowed me, right?”
Bea smiled when she sensed the anticipation in Caleb’s voice. She nodded her head as she gave him back his phone. “Yes, Caleb. You want me to bring you to the amusement park, right?”
Caleb looked at her with hopeful eyes. “You’ll bring me there, right?”
“Of course!” Bea chuckled before she took her phone out of her pocket and saw an unregistered number calling her. “This is Bea. I’ll save your number and I’ll update you every thirty minutes.”
She ended the call when she heard Mr. Suarez says okay. She looked back at Caleb who was holding on tightly to the strap of his bag. With a gentle smile, she offered her hand to Caleb. “Shall we go now?”
Though it was just for a while, Bea saw a glimpse of Caleb’s childish smile. She wished she could see it longer since the kid deserved to act like one. If it wasn’t for his indiff
They were waiting in line for the jungle log jam when Bea’s phone vibrated. She took out her phone and her left brow was raised when she saw Mr. Suarez’s message.Update?Wow. Did he have alarms going off every thirty minutes? It was true that she told him that she would update him every thirty minutes but he was really spot on! Couldn’t she be late for a few minutes?She opened the messaged and typed a reply. Caleb rode different rides here. I also bought him food. He looked like he was really having a lot of fun.After the message was sent, Bea put back her phone and smiled since it was already their turn.“Are you excited?” Bea asked as soon as they were seated.“Not really.” Caleb looked at the side and held onto the bar tight. He was calm when the ride started moving. As soon as they were already high up, he peeked downwards and abruptly closed his eyes.She looked at th
The two were having fun eating when Bea’s phone vibrated again. She rolled her eyes as she took a bite from her waffle. Mr. Suarez was really something. He was definitely texting her after every 30 minutes. Was she that unreliable?Update?As usual. He would ask for updates again. She rolled her eyes once more before she clicked the reply button.Still eating waffles. Want some?She just looked at her phone, thinking whether she should send it or not. Was it okay to be a little informal to him? He was still a CEO even if he had been a little annoying since earlier. She was about to press the delete button when Caleb tugged at her sleeve.“What is it? Do you want more?” Bea asked when she noticed that Caleb was done with his food.“You won’t take back what you said earlier, right?” Caleb looked anxious but she somehow felt proud.Finally, Caleb was slowly opening up to him. Caleb co
“Daddy…” Caleb went out of his room with his pajamas and messy hair. He was still rubbing his eyes as he walked towards the dining table where his father was eating. “Can I go to Miss Bea’s place today?”Callum was busy checking his tablet for his schedule and the reports that he needed to check for that day. In front of him were a cup of coffee and an untouched sandwich.“Why would you bother her again?” Callum said but his eyes were still on his tablet.Caleb looked down as he started eating the cereal that was prepared for him. Bea told him that it would be all right to visit her and hang out with her again. Would he really be a bother?“She told me that I can meet her again…” he mumbled as he took another spoonful of cereal.Callum put down his tablet and called for his son’s nanny. “He’s going out today. Make sure that he had everything while he is out and br
“Miss Bea!” Caleb excitedly ran towards Bea who waited by the door as soon as she received Caleb’s call.She was so eager to meet with Caleb and have him taste the spaghetti and lasagna that she cooked for him. Since she did not know whether the kid liked pasta or not, she also made sure to cook meatballs and fried chicken for him.She looked at the nanny who seemed surprised by Caleb’s affection towards her. After giving her a smile, she offered her hand to take Caleb’s bag from her.“I’ll take it from here. Thank you for bringing Caleb.”The nanny nodded politely before she turned her back and left.Bea looked at Caleb with an enthusiastic expression and held his hand. “I prepared foods for you, do you want to eat first?”Caleb’s expression lit up and he excitedly nodded his head. They both went inside and she led him towards the table with a proud smile.“Tada~
“We’re really at the zoo, Miss Bea!” Caleb said while looking at the cab window. “Will there be wild animals in there?”“Yes. Are you excited to see lions and tigers in there?”Caleb nodded his head in glee. “I’ve always wanted to see them ever since.”“Then shall we start roaming around?” Bea helped Caleb walk out of the cab.The kid looked fascinated by all the people coming in and out of the entrance. There were also souvenir and food stalls on the side which made the entrance even busier.“There are so many people here.” Caleb stared at the souvenir stalls so Bea guided him closer.“Do you want something?”Caleb immediately shook his head. “I don’t need anything.”Despite his answer, Bea noticed how he looked at the tiger cap on one of the stalls. She smiled as she pulled the kid closer to where the cap was sold
“That was so much fun!” Caleb said as soon as they walked through the exit. “I never expected that the animals would be so big. The tigers were amazing. They looked fierce but nice at the same time. I was shocked when I heard the lion roar! It wasn’t angry that time, right?”Caleb continued babbling as they walked towards the Cab Terminal. It seemed that he truly enjoyed looking at the animals in the zoo. It was a good thing that she thought of the zoo when she heard that he would be coming to hang out with her.She was about to enter the cab when her phone rang. She walked to the side and let the other person who was next in line take the cab before she answered her phone.“Where are you?” The familiar baritone voice asked from the other line.“We’re just about to take a cab back to the hotel.” She held Caleb’s hand to make sure that he would not go anywhere before she continued talking, &
“Sir, you have a visitor,” Callum’s secretary, Ms. Ponce, said as soon as she entered his office.The man just looked at her before he turned his eyes to the side where his schedule was posted. “I don’t think I have an appointment at this time of the day.”“It’s actually the chairman who came to visit you…” Ms. Ponce looked down when she saw the indifferent expression on her boss’s face.“I’ll meet him.” Callum stood up and put on his coat before walking towards the door. “Lead the way.”Ms. Ponce gladly took the lead and opened the door to the receiving room of her boss’s office. Since the atmosphere was heavy, she did not even dare to look at the chairman who was waiting for her boss.“What a surprise. What brought you here?” Callum asked as soon as the door behind him was closed.Carlo Suarez, Callum’s father, was comfo
“Really? We’re going to the pool?” Caleb asked when his father told him about the plan during their breakfast. “Is there an occasion that I wasn’t aware of?”“There’s nothing. Bea just asked to go to the pool since this would be her vacation after years of working so she wanted to enjoy it with us.” Callum explained though Bea never really said anything like that.“Us?” Callum sounded confused and unconvinced. “You’re coming with us?”“Of course. I’ll be picking you at her place after lunch.” Callum took a sip from his coffee before he diverted his attention to his tablet.“Wow. I thought she didn’t like you…” Caleb mumbled.Callum looked at his son but Caleb didn’t notice because his attention was on his food. He thought that he was the only one who felt that way, but was it too obvious that she disliked him to the p
