The coins I was counting almost fell off because my hands were shaking. They're trembling not because of fear but because of the nervousness caused by the pair of eyes watching me right now.

I couldn't answer Stefano's question earlier, that's why he's still here now, sitting at the table right in front of me.

I can feel that he was watching my every move as he didn't bother to order when one of my colleagues handed him the shop's menu.

I'm so distracted by his presence that I forget how much money I'm counting, that's why I'm forced to start counting again and again from the beginning.

When we suddenly heard the front door open loudly, my colleagues and I looked in that direction at the same time and from there, we saw Sir Kael running towards us with a worried look on his face.

Because of the running that he did, he came to us panting. He first approached Kristine, who was sitting quietly while resting.

He held her by the arm and examined various parts of her body. It seemed like he

    "You shouldn't have mentioned that to them, Stefano!" I said frustratedly right after Stefano sat in the driver's seat.He immediately turned to me and I could clearly see how his face darkened because of what I said."Which one? That I'm your husband? And why, huh?! Just so that Moroso can continue his stupid moves on you?!"What the hell is he talking about?!He was starting to get angry and even his jaw was tightening as he gripped the steering wheel tightly even though he hadn't even started driving yet."What moves are you talking about, Stefano?! He's just my boss, for God's sake!" I said frustratedly again. I don't know where he was coming from."It's so obvious that he has feelings for you from the way he was holding you and worrying about you earlier!"I think he's going crazy now!"We only have a boss and employee relationship, Stefano! And in the few years I've worked for them, he's also become my friend, and there is nothing more than that! You're the only one harboring ma

    I could feel Stefano's rapid breathing because our bodies were against each other. I was looking at him, but his angry eyes were staring at the group of women who tried to throw a chair at me. Even from the way he was holding my waist, I could feel his anger from there as if at any time, he would just retaliate and to prevent that from happening, I placed my hands on his chest, which helped me get his attention.Our eyes immediately met, and even though my heart was still beating very fast because of what had happened, I still managed to speak."W-What are you doing here?" I asked nervously in a low voice.It's like he's reading something in my eyes that's why a few seconds passed first before he spoke. "We have a party to go to tonight. I was planning to tell you myself at the penthouse, but when I woke up, you had already left and I've been waiting for you for a while now, but you're not coming home. I tried to contact you on your social media accounts, but you didn't reply because

    "Hello, Ma'am! Good morning! Welcome to BeauTEA! May I take your order, please?" I politely said to the woman who had just entered the shop while there was a smile on my lips."Good morning too," she smiled back and then lifted her head to look at our menus displayed above. "One order of Sizzling Pork Belly, Sizzling Pork chop, and Sizzling Pork Sisig Platter, Miss," she said and I quickly pressed her orders on the monitor."How about drinks, Ma'am?""Just three large milk teas. Cookies and Cream flavor," she answered.After I repeated to her her orders and the total amount she had to pay, she handed me the money."I received one thousand pesos. Here's your change, Ma'am. Two hundred twenty-three pesos. Please wait for your order at your table. Thank you so much, Ma'am."The woman left after she thanked me. I was about to take the next customer's orders when someone suddenly spoke from behind me."You really need to eat now, Shantelle. It's almost two in the afternoon and your coworke

    I didn't know that by pretending to do it, I would be able to fall asleep. It was a good thing that Stefano didn't wake me up while I was sleeping, so my sleeping time was long. I just only woke up when I suddenly felt hungry.To be honest, I still didn't want to get up because I wasn't ready to face Stefano yet, but since I was really hungry, I had no choice but to get up because if I will endure hunger, I feel like I won't be able to handle it.When I stood up, I really avoided looking in front of me because that's where Stefano was sitting but when I saw from my peripheral vision that he was sleeping, I took that chance to finally look at his direction and from there, I confirmed that he was really asleep which made me rest easy somehow.Even when sleeping, his face still looked cold. I didn't realize that I had been staring at him for quite some time now. Only then did I look away from him when I heard the voice of a flight attendant from my side."Good evening, Mrs. Vanderbilt. Yo

    He just slowly ran his palm over my chest, that made me suddenly feel frustrated which I think was because of my drunkenness. And because of what he was doing, I could feel my nipples starting to harden and I also felt a strange warmth from my down there.I don't know, but it felt like my body had a life of its own because I suddenly realized that I was slowly getting up from Stefano's arms to sit on his lap while not breaking our kiss. I also tightened my embrace with him so he couldn't get away from me. It was like I suddenly became addicted to him, especially on his lips, that's why when he was about to pull his lips away from mine, I didn't agree and I pressed our lips even harder against each other. It was a good thing that he didn't fight back and just let me.He didn't stop me from doing what I wanted to do, especially when I started grinding myself on him. I can't help but moan every time my womanhood hits his hardness. He's so hard you'd think it was stone. We continued kissi

    When I woke up, I could barely open my eyes properly because of the swelling. I didn't cry because of what happened earlier at the restaurant, but I cried when I received some bad news from my college instructor when I got back here to the suite and that is I might not be able to graduate.Before I came to this arrangement with Stefano, we had a subject at school that we needed to take the exam earlier than other subjects.I was able to take the exam and pass the written requirements, but our instructor said that I had one missing requirement that I didn't pass. I asked him what it was because I knew I had passed everything I had to pass on his subject, but he didn't tell me what it was and when I checked my grades on the school portal, I saw that my grade in his subject was 70.I was immediately wrapped in fear and anxiety when I saw those two digit numbers. I also immediately thought of my family, especially mom, who would surely be disappointed in me once she found out about this.

    Instead of paying attention to him, I just kept quiet and kept walking even though I didn't know where we were going to eat. I don't plan on talking to him right now because I'm still reeling from what he did to the man. I was about to continue ignoring him when I suddenly felt myself being lifted off the ground, which surprised me and made me scream unintentionally."You're going the wrong way, Miss," Stefano whispered and then led me in the right direction. He was holding me from my waist tightly.If I hadn't hit him on the arm, he wouldn't have let go of me and before I walked away from him, I rolled my eyes at him. I heard his laughter, which irritated me even more that's why I didn't wait for him to enter and sit inside the restaurant."What do you want to eat?" He asked while my eyes were on the menu in my hand right after he sat down. Instead of telling him what I wanted to order, I just talked to the waiter next to me."I would like Aglio Olio and some fruit shake, please."

    Before I could even stand up from kneeling on the sand, I failed to stop Stefano from approaching the man.His steps were fast and even though I already ran as fast I could to catch up with him, I couldn't. It's all too late because he had already punched the man in the face again when the man tried to get up.I immediately pulled him away when I got close to him and just as he was about to punch the man again.What the fuck is happening to him?!"What do you think you're doing, Stefano?! Why did you suddenly punch him even though he didn't do anything wrong to you, huh?!" I shouted frustratedly.I couldn't stop myself from yelling at him anymore even though there were already people watching us around.It's so embarrassing! We will definitely be their topic again! But I don't care now! What Stefano did was wrong that's why I need to talk to him right away to make him understand that!"What?! Why can't you answer?! Why did you do that?!" I continued so I could get his full attention b
