last update Last Updated: 2022-05-18 20:00:00
As expected, I started my new position as Executive Assistant that Monday. A lot of my coworkers were surprised, of course. Some raised their eyebrows, others teased and congratulated me. I can't blame them for talking; I was a newbie, suddenly promoted to a higher position without proving myself. I admit many deserving employees had proven themselves better but my father and Cedrick Miguel made the urgent decision about it so I didn't have a chance to oppose it. I guess there's nothing I can do at this point. The decision has been imposed and requested so I have no choice but to just accept it.

There was this one instance when I overheard Abigail, one of my former co-analysts, and another woman— whose voice I didn't recognize, talking about me in the women's restroom. I was sure it was Abigail because I could recognize her voice.

"After three months of being an Analyst, now she got promoted to be an Executive Assistant? That's so unfair, right? She didn't even work hard for that p

  • Calor Del Cielo: Bittersweet Taste Of Your Love   Chapter 95: Desperate

    It was late afternoon, the office day nearly done, when Leanna's unexpected arrival stunned me. Despite the shock and nervousness I felt that she might cause a scene here in the office, I still faced her and let her in. I expected her to shout and confront me, but she didn't, which surprised me."Can we talk?" Her voice was barely a whisper, laced with a desperate plea that tugged at my heart."S-Sure!" I stammered in response upon seeing her. I immediately left my computer and stood up to guide her to the sofa cushion so we could talk there.I watched her quietly sit on a sofa before I sat on the cushion next to her. Then, to my surprise, she suddenly moved closer to me and reached out for my hands, begging."Please, Gav, I'm begging you, leave Cedrick Miguel to me. I love him so much, and I can't bear the thought of him being with someone else," she pleaded."L-Leanna..." I'd never witnessed her like this, so utterly broken and so consumed by mis

    That same night, my father summoned me to come home and talk. Even though I already knew the reason and felt a knot of dread tightening in my stomach, I still went, clinging to the hope that I could explain myself and be understood. Cedrick Miguel insisted on coming with me to explain things, but I refused. I wanted to handle this alone first, hoping my father would believe and understand me. His and Allyssa's opinions meant the world to me.When I got to the house, only Aunt Chelsea, who looked furious, and Dad, with his unreadable expression, were there to meet me."Leanna can't even bear to face you. She's been crying all day. We already know everything. She told us she saw you kissing Cedrick Miguel at their mansion earlier when she visited his parents. How could you do this to your stepsister?" Chelsea spat out, her words hitting me like a slap, each syllable laced with venom."Cedrick Miguel and I have been together for almost two weeks now. I chose

    And just as I promised Cedrick Miguel that I would spend my weekend with him, he took me to his yacht, and that's where we spent our weekend. His yacht was complete with crew and amenities for all our needs. We went island hopping, snorkeling, watched the sunrise and sunset and had a romantic dinner date and stargazing on the deck.He was tireless and seemed so thirsty for me when night came. During those two nights together, we made love countless times. Good thing I was taking pills because I remembered that he wasn't using protection in the few times we had been intimate before.I felt his gentle caress on my hair after our passionate lovemaking that night. We were nestled together in bed as my head resting comfortably on his firm chest. It was the last night of our yachting trip, and we would be returning to the capital tomorrow morning. He was always like this after our lovemaking, stroking my hair and sometimes kissing my forehead. Often, he also liked to cuddle,

    After dinner, Cedrick Miguel took me to his room. His bedroom in their mansion was huge, almost as big as his bedroom in his penthouse. But unlike his penthouse, which had a more masculine interior, his room in their mansion felt homier and more elegant in design. It had floor-to-ceiling windows, a modern fireplace, and a massive TV that promised a cozy evening. Even his walk-in closet was grander, more spacious than the one in his penthouse."You have a spacious and beautiful room," I told him as I walked around, inspecting every detail in his room.My breath caught in my throat when he suddenly pulled me close, gently guiding me down onto the soft expanse of the bed."You've been inspecting my room for a while now, and you haven't been paying attention to me," he said, his voice a low, husky murmur that sent shivers down my spine. "Let me kiss you. I've been wanting to kiss you for a while now," he confessed, his eyes dark with desire as he hovered above me.

    "I'm happy you two are together now," Cedrick Miguel's mom said, her eyes twinkling with affection."Thank you, Ma'am" I replied, a shy smile gracing my lips.Cedrick Miguel had invited me to dinner at his parents' mansion to formally introduce me as his girlfriend. Despite being nervous upon meeting them, I managed to return the Villacencios' warm smiles and compliments.I couldn't help but notice how sweet Cedrick Miguel's parents were. Their love for each other was very evident in their gestures, especially Mr. Villacencio. The way his eyes filled with adoration whenever he looked at his wife, the way he was incredibly attentive, always ensuring her plate was filled first before his own. They even shared desserts, feeding each other with obvious delight and looked cute teasing and bantering with each other like playful children. And Cedrick Miguel seemed unfazed by his parents' antics, as if it were the most normal thing in the world for him.Honestly,

    I confessed to Kaycee about Cedrick Miguel and me after she got back from her mission. What surprised me was that she wasn't shocked at all. I had been expecting her to be mad, but she wasn't."I was actually expecting him to start wooing you again as soon as he found out that you and Inigo had broken up," she said, her eyes searching mine."Aren't you... mad? Aren't you going to tell me I'm making a mistake?" I asked her, feeling confused by her reaction."Why would I be mad at you? You just followed your heart. Besides, Cedrick Miguel clearly loves you, based on all the crazy things he's done just to get a chance with you. I can't see any reason to deny him the opportunity to prove his feeling. Don't be so hard on yourself, Gav. There's nothing wrong with wanting to give yourself a chance at happiness.""Thank you," I whispered, tears stinging my eyes. "Thank you for understanding, for not judging me.""When have I ever done that to you?" she teased gently. I responded with a warm, s
