Chasing Athena (ENGLISH) Chapter 69: Team Building (Part 1)
“Auntie, can you please take care of things here for now? The team building will only be for three days,” I said to Aunt Rosa when I arrived in the living room. She was with Aaron, who was waiting with her for his dad and me.“Yes, dear, I’ll take care of everything here. Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to Aaron,” she said before smiling at me and giving me a hug. I responded to her hug and then turned to my son, who was now looking at me sadly.“Aww, don’t be sad. It’s just three days, and your daddy and I will be home right after that,” I said as I hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.“I’ll just miss you both. You and daddy will be gone for three days and I won’t get to be with you here at home,” he said tearfully after I hugged him.“Don’t be sad, son. Three days will go by quickly and you’ll be with me and your mommy again. We’ll be home soon, we promise,” I heard Zach say as he arrived in the living room.Aaron immediately stood up to approach and hug him. I just watc
Chasing Athena (ENGLISH) Chapter 68: Fury Behind the Façade
I suddenly lost the motivation to work because of the things he said earlier. I know I’m not the only one he scolded and lectured, but it felt like all of it was directed at me.What else do I have to do for him to trust me? Because the way he looked at me earlier, it was like he had no trust in my abilities. It’s like everything I do is trash in his eyes. Like I’ve never done anything right or good for his company.It’s exhausting, and I feel like I just want to rest.“Athena, let’s have lunch first. You can finish that later. There’s still plenty of time, and the deadline has been adjusted anyway,” Trixie said as she approached my table.“You two go ahead, I’ll follow. I still need to go to Finance to follow up on the budget proposal. I promise I’ll catch up,” I answered and gave her a small smile.“Oh, isn’t Marketing the one assigned to that?”“Yeah, but it’s fine with me. I’ll just catch up with you there.”Trixie didn’t insist any further and eventually walked away, while I went
Chasing Athena (ENGLISH) Chapter 67: Expectations vs. Reality
“Mommy, is there a problem?” Aaron asked, breaking the silence that surrounded us.I stopped eating before looking at him and caught him glancing back and forth between me and his daddy. I also noticed that Zach suddenly stopped as well and looked at his son.“There’s nothing wrong, sweetheart. Why do you ask?” I answered, and I noticed that he suddenly looked sad.“It’s just that I noticed you and daddy haven’t been talking to each other since earlier,” he said, which made me glance at Zach, who was already looking at me. But I quickly looked away from him.I’m not in the mood to talk to him right now.“Did you two have a fight?” he added, the sadness already visible in his eyes.“We’re not, baby. We were just preparing for work, that’s why I didn’t get a chance to talk to your mom. But we’re fine, the two of us. We’re not mad at each other,” said Zach, glancing at me awkwardly.But I still didn’t say a word. I let him explain things to his son—after all, he’s the reason I’m feeling
Chasing Athena (ENGLISH) Chapter 66: Waiting in Frustration
I was still thinking about what Yael told me earlier, even after I got home to the penthouse. When I found out about it, I didn’t ask him any more questions—I just nodded in response, even though the truth was, I didn’t really know what he was talking about. I want to hear the rest of the story from Zach because I have a feeling that issue is connected to what happened in the past.“Mommy, what time is Daddy coming home?” Aaron asked from the living room, where he was doing his homework. I, on the other hand, was in the kitchen preparing our dinner.“I don’t know, sweetheart, but I think he’s on his way home,” I replied.Zach and I didn’t go home together earlier, and I also didn’t tell him that I was going ahead. I wanted to say goodbye, but he wasn’t in his office at the time. I don’t know his schedule, and the only one who does is his secretary. I want to call her and ask where Zach is, but she might find it suspicious.“Does a boss always come home late at night, Mommy?” Aaron ask
Chasing Athena (ENGLISH) Chapter 65: The Locked Chest
I’ve been staring blankly at my computer monitor for a while now. I don’t know when I’ll finish the report I’ve been working on since this morning. Lunch break is almost here, yet I’m still stuck doing this.Ugh, I don’t know. I don’t understand why I still keep thinking about what Zander told me last Saturday. We never got the chance to talk about it because we went home the next day at his brother’s insistence. Everything happened so fast, I don’t even know what to do about it."You’ve been spaced out for a while. Here, our boss asked me to give you this," Maurice said as she arrived at my desk and placed a cup of coffee in front of me."Thank you," I replied and gave her a small smile.And then there’s Zach—he’s been messing with my heart and mind since yesterday. Because of the way he’s been acting, I don’t know what he’s trying to say, and I keep giving it a different meaning that only makes my mind even more confused."You're welcome. That coffee was free at the lobby earlier, b
Chasing Athena (ENGLISH) Chapter 64: Unsaid Feelings
"Umm, can we talk?" I asked Zander before Zach could question him about that so-called "date" of ours tomorrow."Sure, let’s go to my room," he replied, glancing at Zach and grinning, which made his brother frown.Ugh! Here he goes again. Why does he love teasing his brother so much?"Zander…" I said, my voice already carrying a hint of warning."Just kidding, let’s talk somewhere else," he said, laughing as he walked ahead.I just watched him walk away, shaking my head, before turning my gaze to Zach—only to realize he was already looking at me. But his expression was serious, and his brows were furrowed.“What was that, Athena?” he asked, his voice tinged with irritation.“I’ll explain it to you later. I just need to talk to him real quick. This won’t take long, I promise. Go ahead and check on Aaron, I’ll follow you there,” I quickly replied, then immediately walked away to catch up with Zander.That’s when I remembered—he did ask me out on a date last week, and I said yes. But I’v
