"Tell me you're joking..." I was still in disbelief since silence meant yes. He was neither agreeing nor deflecting it, but I assumed he did. "Sebastian...?"Sebastian sighed and laid his head on my chest again, making me uncomfortable. But I did not push him away. Suddenly, he looked adorable to my eyes, knowing how he could be like a puppy, waggling his tail to his master."Um... It's fine if you are not going to tell." I meant, why would I force him to say anything about it? I must respect his wishes. It was important that I knew his boundaries despite the curiosity that was eating me to the core.When he took my hand to intertwine with mine, I almost barked, but he looked up into my eyes. "No. I am going to tell you. I promise to myself that once you are here on our island, I am going, to be honest with you as much as possible."I almost smiled wryly. He kept insisting that I owned this island, too, when that was not the case. He really assumed that. I really wanted to correct it,
My eyes widened at the surprised kiss he just gave. I did not protest but found myself kissing him back. It was hard to fight the urge to stop myself from my attraction to this man.But if he was going to ask if I could reciprocate his feelings, I couldn't. I was still doubting it. I felt like I couldn't meet his expectations and that I did not deserve to be paid attention by this man."Sebastian..." A moan escaped from my lips when his lips that bruised mine traveled down to kiss my jaw down to my neck. I clung to him and kept grinding myself when I knew that I was straddling him at this moment. "Cejay..." he said dreamily as he licked, nipped, and nibbled my skin, making me lean back to give him full access to my neck.I couldn't stop myself from desiring this man. Not only that I know that he had longed to have me, but I had been lusting over him ever since I knew that I was attracted to this man. Just this once... I wanted to give myself to someone I could put my trust in from n
My heart dropped upon seeing what I had to see right now. I even gulped as my heart started racing rapidly as I kept on checking the files. Who on earth is he? How could he have these files? As I checked the last file, my jaw dropped as my face had gone color for what I was seeing right now. I even dropped it in no time. I stood up, wide-eyed as I leaned on the shelf. I couldn’t believe it... Why did I work for him? Why did I trust him? My eyes roamed around the room. It even made my knees weakened upon seeing what is glued in the rooms. It was horrifying and unbelievable! My heart flipped seeing those photos plastered on the wall. Why does he have so many photos of me? Why are they in portraits? Why does he have so many files which are all about me? My eyes widened as I gasped loudly seeing my younger self on my high school days. “Shit...” I mumbled under my breath, couldn’t believe what I was seeing. He even had candid photos of me even on my college days! What the heck!
We were brought to a room with all-white backgrounds. And swear, I felt like I was in an asylum. But I have to bear with this. There’s some issue that is needed to be cleared. I have to defend the poor employee here.I slammed the table. “Don’t fire him! He needs the job!” I said angrily, almost hissing from this kind of tormenting treatment they were doing right now.Ms. Perry, a 40-year-old woman, whose hair was a bit blonde, gave me a look. “Ms. Merryweather, I’m not talking to you, am I?”“But...” I closed my mouth when she narrowed her eyes at me telling me to shut my mouth. I rolled my eyes at what was really happening. But I’m getting worried. She’s about to fire him and I couldn’t let that. It’s my fault. They mustn’t blame him for work he didn’t intentionally do.“Mr. Socrates, we have to fire you. Because of you, you brought the whole company fully al
“You offering me what?” I asked Mr. Huntington. Did I hear it right? Did he offer me a position to be his personal assistant? Was he serious?“Be my personal assistant. Since you’re going to file that resignation letter of yours, and we both know once you leave this company, you have no job to apply for right now. So, I’m offering you a job. Just be my personal assistant, Ms. Merrywheather.”I narrowed my eyes, trying to seek if he was just kidding me or not. I don’t see any of it but I saw all his serious features facing me right now.I don’t know what came out of his head as to why he has to offer me that he wanted me as a personal assistant. I knew I could get a lot of salaries if I accepted it but I’m resigning today.
“What the heck is wrong with you? Are you serious about this?” I asked in disbelief. He said what again? He won’t accept no as an answer? And if I don’t accept his proposal, he won’t fucking leave?Is he dead serious right now?“What do you think, Ms. Merrywheather?” Sarcasm notices in his voice even with his stoic expression right now.I was already frowning. God knows how I want to erase that smirk of his. It’s very irritating to see.“I’m dead serious, Mr. Huntington.” I masked my voice with my all-so-over serious tone. I have to do it because my patience has been in a thin line and if I couldn’t get more serious, I don’t know what I will do to this arrogant guy. I never thought that this is his attitude. And what he said earlier that if I don’t accept it, he will stay? For real? “Are you sure you’re going to stay here, huh? Millions of people need you in yo
“Good morning, Cejay!”I snorted meeting Marlou’s wide smile as if he found something amusing this morning. I walked to the refrigerator to get some milk and put it in the glass. I didn’t bother to ask Marlou to make me his specialty coffee. With his annoying smile right now, I could kill my gay friend right away.“Now I regret that I told you that happening last night.&r
I went out to buy Mr. Huntington’s breakfast. I was annoyed by myself while I was inside the elevator after I bought my boss’s breakfast. Like what the hell, self? I could have at least make a phone call for delivery.“Stupid, Cejay!” I muttered under my breath whilst gritting my teeth. I wasn’t using my brain properly. I should have thought of making a phone call but I ended up buying outside.
