Chapter 11
I should not have accepted my mom’s test. I should have not gone to her to discuss about my willingness to be her employee just to help Von on his new project. If I had not done such a drastic move, then I should have been in the safety of my fluffy covers in my bed snoring and enjoying my beauty sleep.
By this time, I should have been in the comfort of the dreamland where I am happily living my life with Von.
That’s what’s running in my head as I climb my way up to the 30th floor. The elevator stopped at 20th so I had to manually run through the arduous steps to get to mom’s office. My cute pink long-sleeve is already soaked with my sweat and I don’t have to look at my face to know that my make-up is all over my face. I blamed myself for not opting to use the water-proof make-up. I stink which has never happened to me for the last few months and I hated every second of it. I wanted to turn my back, rush back inside the car but my go

“What the fuck are you doing here?” I asked while fuming in anger.I hurriedly stood up not minding if my hair is all over my face, just to face the devil incarnate who gave me a mocking smile.“What a pleasant words coming from you, Jill. Didn’t you miss me? Well, I miss you so much, babe.” He stressed the last word as if to emphasize something.My face grimaced in disgust at the sight of the man who I have considered to be my first love. Only when I met Von did I realize that what I felt for this cheating piece of scumbag is very shallow.“Who gave you an idea that I like to see you again? After what you have done to me? After you slept with my assistant and made a fool out of me, you still have the gall to let me see your face again? How could you still keep a straight face after what you have done, you chauvinistic jerk!”My nostrils flared and I can feel my head growing big. Pure bloodshot anger

The three went out of the door. Von on the other hand, looks at me and nod his head. I smiled back and waved my hand.“Jill honey?” My mother called me.I turned my attention to her. She obviously saw us. Well, there is no point of denying when she already knows it. And I can’t read any objection on her face. Maybe she knows that I’m in the right hands.Well Von, the stars and the planets aligned for the both of us. The only missing link is your love.“Yeah?”“Would you be so kind to check for my appointments for later?”I raised my brow. “Why? You have Selena as your secretary. Why do I have to do her job? And why do you have a desk here for me prepared inside your office? I thought you will give me my own place here?”“Selena is not my secretary anymore. At least not for the time being. Just this morning, I have given her a whole month of vacation. You will be replacing her. The files are in your computer already. Al

“So? How did it go?”I groaned in the phone while talking to Laurie and enjoying my bubble bath in the confines of my place. I felt like my neck and back are breaking for being in front of the computer for the whole day. Thinking about repeating it for another day tomorrow makes my insides go wild in rebellion.“Please, don’t ask. It was obviously hell, Laurie. I did stuff you won’t want to know. I hate it there as much as I hate mom for pulling a stunt on me.”She laughed on the line and burped. I don’t have to keep guessing what this woman is doing. I’m sure she is eating again. What will happen next worries me. Laurie will obviously gag herself again to force the food out of her stomach. I have been telling her to stop this unhealthy practice of hers and consult a doctor but she won’t heed me.I sighed. We’re really meant to be friends.“You’re doing it again. How many times do I need to tell you about your habit? Stop it, already.”“Stop it

“What’s up, J. Something bothering you again? You only call me when you’re in trouble. What is it this time?”I smiled when I heard Cathy’s voice over the phone. I decided to call her so that she could enlighten me with what’s eating me up now.“Hi, C. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard your voice. I missed you. Why didn’t you inform me that you accepted mom’s offer to send you to Europe? I hate you.”Cathy laughed in the line. I heard a clanking of glasses.“We both know you didn’t call me alone for that. It’s not that hard for me to read you. Come on, we have been together for all the years of our lives. Is it about Von again?”I let out a sigh. Cathy never failed to make feel assured and protected. She has this unique aura all over her that makes you trust her. Cathy has been like that for me for the longest time. We practically grew up together. If only my aunt will let her, she could have moved to our house. Aside from Laurie, she has been

I arrived at Sandy’s place at exactly five in the morning. The maid who opened the door for me gave me a malicious smile while giving a look on my thin lingerie underneath my untied robe.“Where’s Von?” I asked hurriedly not minding her stares.“Jill, come up here.”I looked up to see Von from the top of the stairs in the second floor. I didn’t think twice before running towards him.“W-what happened?” I asked him while catching my breath.Von sighed and raked his fingers over his hair in a frustrated way.“It’s Sandy. I don’t know what exactly happened but she called me this morning to ask for my help. I immediately came here but when she saw me, she began to scream and started shaking all over. I tried to embraced her but she won’t let me. It’s been an hour since she locked herself up in the room.”“Why did you call me? You should have called for her mother or any member of her family.”Von stared right through me, enough for m

“Smile, my dear. You look stunning in your pantsuit. It suits you.”I rolled my eyes at my mother and adjusted the frames of my eyeglasses. I felt so uncomfortable with my too conservative clothes and the stares people in the convention throw at me.Of course I know why. They are as shocked as myself when mom pulled me out of my tedious answering of her endless calls to accompany her to a formal event.I felt so out of place with my clothes in the sea of dresses and coats. I did not come here to be one of the dignitaries but as a mere employee.“Why didn’t you give me a heads up about this, mom? Look at them checking me out. It’s so embarrassing!”My mother laughed.“That doesn’t change the fact that you are still my daughter and the future of our empire. You have nothing to be ashamed of,” she assured me.“I know that but you could have at least informed me beforehand. I don’t even have my eye contacts in me and you of all peopl

“Hi, Ms. Jill Buenaventura. Fancy meeting you here. I get that you don’t remember me given that look in your face. I’m Penelope Ciro. We met five years ago in London. Remember that fashion show?”I crooked one brow and tried to remember her name and the event she’s talking about. Penelope… A flash of recognition dawned on me when I repeated her name in my head. My face hardened at the memory of a woman holding a placard outside the hotel where a fashion show I just attended was taking place. She is shouting expletive words on my face and then next thing I knew; she threw a rotten egg on my face.The next day's morning paper contained my picture who looks like I just ran over a dozen of eggs. Beside that column is a mugshot of the woman where her name is written in a nice bold black font.“Ah, I remember your bloated face outside that building that night. Well, you look so good with that mismatched plaid jacket and a neon cropped top.”Penelope smi

I stood up and stepped back when Jeff started to approach me. My survival instincts started to kick in. The first thing I wanted to do was to run and so I did but Jeff was quick enough to block me. He imprisoned me in his arms and locked my hands with his.I struggled to break away from his grip because it is obvious that he is stronger and bigger than me. I am no match in him in terms of strength.“Let go of me,” I hissed and kicked his leg but he didn’t seem to mind it.“Let go of me!” I shouted again at his face.“Don’t fight me anymore, Jill. I know you still want me and I feel the same way to you too. Stop ignoring me.”My mouth opened in surprise and amazement. How dare this guy think that I still want him after I caught him cheating on me. No one in the right mind will still stay even after catching her boyfriend in bed with another woman.“Who told you that I am still into you? It
