J CruzHello My Loves, Still caught up with personal matters so updates are a bit late. I also saw all your comments in-chapters and know that while I appreciate each of them, I can't respond right away due to time constraint. Anyway, I will answer them when my commitments eased up. Bear with me, please. Love, J Cruz

Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 37. Late Night Assignations
Katherine POV What is wrong with him? I asked myself when I received a copy of the memo circulating the building regarding romantic relationships between coworkers. It was as if it was penned directly for me. After almost jumping out of the elevator and muttering an awkward goodbye to Oliver and Mr. Sanders, I hurriedly walked toward my office and stayed there. Before lunchtime, Lorried knocked on my door to deliver a memo from the executive floor. After reading its content, I threw it on my desk, feeling like Lucas was personally targeting me. I don’t know what is wrong with the man.Last night, when Lucas Sanders glared at me at the restaurant, I kept asking myself whether I had violated any written or unwritten rule in the company’s policy and guidelines that would warrant such a reaction, and finding none. Then, this morning his comment about Oliver and me at the elevator left a bad taste in my mouth. It was as if I had done him a personal affront. I had this strange fee
ปรับปรุงล่าสุด : 2025-03-26Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 38. Have You Really Forgotten About Me?
Katherine POVMy heart began to pound fast and hard when I stared at his face as it tried to focus on me. I don’t know how to explain it, but I feel like I was seeing a man torn. But what bothers me is how it affected me. Lucas Sanders is my boss, said a little voice in my head. That little warning made me realize how close our bodies were, almost hugging. I moved to step back, but his grip on my waist tightened, and I swallowed the lump that suddenly formed in my throat. “S-sir,” I asked, confused. I saw the same confusion I was feeling reflected in his eyes. It was like there was a raging storm inside him, and it was eating him alive. My chest constricted in pain. “Are you alright?” He asked, breaking the spell between us. I wanted to laugh at the absurdity. “I should be the one asking you that. You don’t look okay to me.” He leaned closer. I inhaled mint and a hint of alcohol in his breath.My eyes widened in realization. “You are drunk!” I exclaimed since this was th

Katherine POVI don’t know why. But Lucas' question caused a constriction in my chest. I could not breathe. I felt wetness in my cheeks and realized that I was crying. I haphazardly wiped them off with the back of my hand. All the while, my head swirled with questions I could not have a way of answering except if I confronted Lucas Sanders and demanded an explanation. Watching his retreating figure, I could not lift my feet. I was frozen on the spot. Why did Lucas Sanders say those things? Did he know me from before? Was he part of my distant past?My phone rang, and I immediately rummaged in my bag. Instantly, I schooled my face to one of cheerfulness when my fingers closed on it. “Yes, sweetie,” I responded to Erin’s call. “It’s late, mommy. Where are you? Are you still in the office? I am calling Uncle Lucas for making you work so late!” Erin’s prattle filled my ears. Her voice warmed up my heart, but when she mentioned Lucas, my body went rigid. “Call him?” I asked in
ปรับปรุงล่าสุด : 2025-03-27Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 40. Fodder For Gossip
Katherine POVMy head throbbed.Every time someone speaks, pain shoots from my temple to my right eye. I can't concentrate. It started this morning when Erin insisted she wanted to come along to the office. "I made a card for Uncle Lucas. See?" She shoved the card to my face and almost hit my eye. "Erin." I reprimanded her, summing up in that one word how she should not call people out of whim. She looked contrite when she apologized, and all was well, or so I thought until she began barraging me with her request."I want to give this to Uncle Lucas. I don't think he feels too good."That had me fixing my gaze on her. Did they talk? Erin said Lucas did not feel good. Does his head hurt, too from a hangover?"How did you know?" My voice sounded sharp even though I did not mean it to come that way. A guarded look passed over Erin's features, and I braced myself, waiting for the lie. It did not come, and I was thankful. "He called me," Erin said defensively.For a while, the

Lucas POV“Boss! Are you alright?” Dan Burns asked after I stepped inside my office and slumped on my executive chair. I rubbed my face with my hands before fixing him with a sharp glare. “Do I look like I am okay? Where is Kurt? I thought he was coming today?” I demanded. I woke up to a massive hangover and didn’t want to come to the office when Dan mentioned in his message that the private investigator was arriving soon. The information made me bolt right up in bed. I went straight to the bathroom to wash up and got myself ready.At the door, I called my housekeeper.“Is the driver here?” “He’s waiting in the car, Master Lucas.” I nodded and got out, and fifteen minutes later, I was inside my office at SF Conglomerate. “Can I get you something?” Dan asked. I pressed the heel of my hand on my right temple to counteract the pain. “Can you give me a painkiller?” I requested when the action did not bring any relief. My head still throbs painfully. Dan nodded and left. He cam

Lucas POV“What are you doing here?” I asked, awkwardly stroking her glossy black hair.Not only was I worried about her safety, but I was also concerned about her medical condition.She wrapped her little arms around my neck.“I missed you.” She uttered, and I felt like someone punched me hard on the chest.I could not breathe.“I missed you, too,” I told her before pivoting on my heels, with her still in my arms, and going back to the elevator, ignoring the open-mouthed stare of my employees.

Katherine POV“Why do you let Noreen walk all over you? She betrayed you, snatched your man, and now, she is bullying you. Why don’t you fight back and put her in her palace?” Veronica demanded after Noreen left in a huff.There was a hint of frustration in her voice while she issued the reprimand.I winced at the pain that shot from my eyes to my temples.“What good will it do? Catfights were never my thing, Veronica. You, of all people, should know that. So long as she is not doing anything to damage my reputation in the company, it is fine. Let her swim in her own scandals without dragging me along. Besides, she genuinely loves my Erin and anyone w

They both fit together.An ache filled me at the sight of them together, and while I yearned to watch them longer and soothe this ache in my heart, I couldn’t.The need to hug my daughter is imperative.I grabbed Erin in my arms, relief coursing through every part of my body when my arms surrounded her, and I was assured of her safe

Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 109. Solemn And Magical
Katherine POVFor a moment, I thought he changed his mind, allowing doubt to creep in. But living in fear for too long makes one realize that there was a moment when she had to seize the moment and take a risk. Right now, I took a risk when I affirmed his question because he had become hesitant after asking the question. The glassy look on his face made me doubt if he was indeed serious with the proposal. But of course, raising your guard for a long time comes with a price -vulnerability. I tried to mask that weakness by pretending to be impatient, but inside, I was freaking out. What if he recalls the proposal?I grabbed his hand - the one with the engagement ring - to prove that the whole thing was not just a figment of my imagination. It was real. Lucas Sanders proposed to me. He had mentioned it previously but always tailed it with words that he would wait for my readiness. I realized no one was ready for anything. You take and accept things because they feel right. When L
Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 108. Beginning Today
Lucas POVMy chest pounded as I waited for Katherine’s reply to my proposal. Still, as the seconds stretched into a minute, I felt a wave of desolation washed over me. Disappointment was all over her features. My fingers closed on the diamond ring I bought with her in mind. "I know I did not prepare a grand proposal. I didn't even think of a good speech. I am also sorry for rushing you." I began to explain. It was different from pitching project proposals for my business because this would change my whole life. It sounded like I was babbling. The truth is, this is my first marriage proposal. I never proposed to anyone because no one came to measure up to this gorgeous woman in front of me. No one came close to how she has affected me that even after five years, she was still the only one I wanted. As I waited for Katherine’s reply, I remembered what Duke told me. “We can’t touch Agatha because JQ Entertainment is protecting her.”Now, the faceless man who dared to antagonize
Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 107. Marry Me, Please
Katherine POVI woke up alone in bed and felt slightly disappointed when I realized Lucas was gone. I turned to the side to hug the pillow he used on my chest, wishing it was him. It would have been nice to wake up and see him first thing in the morning. I was jolted from my daydreaming when the door to my room opened. Lucas entered the room with Erin in his arms. “Mommy!” Erin called out in a singsong voice. I watched her wiggle from Lucas’s arms. When her feet reached the floor, she began to run toward me. She climbed the bed and sat next to me. “You and Daddy sleep without me.” She complained.My eyes met Lucas above Erin’s head. Then, I turned to my daughter to mumble an apology. Erin shrugged. “It’s okay. Daddy promised we would sleep together tonight. You, me and Daddy.” Erin reported.The idea excited me. I began to caress Erin’s head to hide the pleasure the news brought. “Have you eaten?” I asked She bobbed her head. “Me and Daddy.” Then, she stood on the bed to tu
Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 106. Backlash
Katherine POV“I am sorry. I shouldn’t have stooped down to her level,” I told Lucas stiffly as we walked back to the bus.Until now, I could still hear Agatha’s rants and the expected whispers from our onlookers.If truth be known, hitting her and putting her in her place gave me immense satisfaction. Agatha shouldn't have insulted my daughter because that is where I draw the line.I felt a tug on my hand, prompting me to stop.“Agatha had it coming. You shouldn’t feel any regret.” Lucas told me.He held my chin and stared deep into
Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 105. Insult My Child
Katherine POV“Well. Well. Well. The sarcasm in Agatha Richards' tone was keenly comprehensible, especially if one cared enough to listen. Agatha was walking out of the function room at the same time we did. And because all doors lead to the lobby, we sort of ended up meeting in the middle. There is no way I could have avoided her, even if I wanted to. Then, she dropped the bomb that put me in the spotlight. “If it isn’t the fiance stealer.” She looked at me up and down, and her nose wrinkled in distaste as if she did not like what she saw. I know I am not as sophisticated or glamorous as her. I looked down the denim overalls I wore at the tree planting project and knew that compared to Agatha, I looked very ordinary. But Lucas’s hand, when it searched for mine, felt very comforting. I knew Agathaa saw how he held my hand and squeezed it. The action sent a signal that he was trying to silently assure me. This seemed to ignite Agatha’s anger. “How does it feel to be taking my
Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 104. Avoid At All Cost
Katherine POV“Put me down, Daddy!” Erin said, and Lucas swung her in his arms before he placed her feet firmly on the ground. “Thank you, Daddy.” She said sweetly before latching onto his hand. She gripped his thumb before she turned around to search the crowd. When she spotted me, she beckoned to me and said, “Come on, Mommy. Let’s go.” There were still some employees in the area, and as much as I would like to clamp a hand on Erin’s mouth, I couldn’t. I have to take everything in stride, just as Lucas had. No flaunting, and certainly no keeping secrets. I was just making things as natural as is. We can not hide forever. And from the looks of it, Lucas had no intention of hiding us either, especially Erin’s existence. I walked up to them. My breath hitched when Lucas snaked his arm around my waist and started gearing me toward the bus. At some point, Erin dropped his hand and ran toward Oliver. “Uncle Ollie. Wait up!” Oliver, who was walking with Veronica, stopped t
Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 103. Happy Day
Katherine POVI turned around to face Veronica, but she was already walking away. Then, my eyes squinted when Oliver blocked her path. I saw the tension in her body and thought I was not the only one who needed some explanation. Veronica also has to explain the tension with Oliver. From the looks of it, something is brewing between them. “Stare at him longer, and I was an inch from getting jealous, sweetheart.” Lucas' breath fanned my cheeks when he leaned close to murmur in my ears. I stepped to the side to allow distance between us, consciously aware of the people around us. I don’t want to add fuel to our grand entrance. Lucas’ employees already had something to talk about.But my action sent the wrong signal to Lucas. “Why are you avoiding me?” His eyes squinted in suspicion. I rolled my eyes. Here he goes again. “Shh,” I said, trying to hold him back from further incriminating the two of us.“What?” Lucas demanded when he saw me looking from left to right. Then, he sh
Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 102. A Lot To Explain
Katherine POVWhen we left the apartment building, I was surprised to see a bus with an SF conglomerate logo waiting for us.“Whoa! What’s this?” I asked, not fully comprehending what was happening.Dan Burns got out of the bus to assist us.“Hi, Uncle Dan!” Erin greeted, seemingly unaffected by the sight of the bus.In contrast, Erin looked excited. She was clapping her hands, and her legs danced owing to her undisguised eagerness to jump on the bus.I adjusted the strap of her sun visor before allowing her to hop on the bus. Her laughter rang like a peal of bell as Dan held her hand to help her up.The sounds of her laughter were music to my ears. For the past two years, our lives have been filled with sadness due to Erin’s sickness. I used to ask God why he allowed such a misfortune to come to us, but now, seeing the joy on Erin’s fa
Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 101. Like A Family
Katherine POVWhen we got tired of our game, Sara called us for dinner. Lucas snagged Erin from the bed, and she climbed on her father’s shoulders.He held her hand, crisscrossing like a plane on their way out. I followed them with my eyes, my lips tugging into a smile when I heard Erin’s giggles. Seeing how happy my Erin had been since Lucas came into our lives made me feel contentment in my heart. Looking at her, you wouldn’t see any trace of a sick child. She was recovering and adjusting to our set-up faster than expected. “Thank you,” I whispered to Lucas’ ear after we put Erin to bed. She was now snoring softly when I tucked the covers below her armpits. I placed bolster pillows on her side. We had a hard time convincing her to lie down. Erin insisted on Lucas reading her a story before bedtime, and he indulged her.I sat on her side, listening to their interaction. She cuddled close to Lucas’ chest, listening intently, and from time to time, she would interrupt him to p
