It's been a long night, and I'm not sure if it is fun going to a pub when I need to wake up early for work after tonight. My eyes feel gritty, and there's an ache stretching across my shoulders maybe this is because I slept in one position the whole night. Damn, how I wish I could crawl back into my bed until the pain in my shoulder will dissipate before I could get up and start another day for this week. But I was perplexed when I looked at my alarm clock on my bedside table and found out that I only have thirty minutes to prepare to go to the office. So I am rushing everything to consume the time, less than I usually did. Truly the time comes fast as it was. In the blink of an eye, it becomes an hour. An hour becomes a day and a day becomes a week without realizing it. Today, I become one month working as executive assistant of my outstanding Yummy boss. Oh my God! what was I thinking? The time and days that we spend working together make us more familiar with each other. We work harmoniously that makes the other colleague of mine wonder but I never give any malice of how Mr. Stanley treated me because that kind of boss is what I was praying when I was applying for a job be it in here or in the other company. Mr. Stanley treated me professionally and that's what I am to him too. I am used to the way my boss treated me. In my own understanding, it's just a pure employee and employer nature of sense.
From the time I started working, I have never been late even once. This morning was an exception. When the time I arrive at the entrance of the huge building where I work, I can see that everyone is already doing their own duties. I immediately enter the elevator taking advantage that no one bothers to look at me because they don't even notice me. I press the button for the top floor where my office was in. As for the reason why I was late this time it's because of Liz again. Yesterday is my day off and normally it's also the time that I can tidy my house then wash my clothes. After doing all of it, I would love to have a peaceful nap to relax. And that relaxation has never happened yesterday. Liz called me and tug me along with her to the pub to sip wine, yeah she said that only sip. Liz, it said that this serves as a celebration of our first salary. It is only dawn that Liz has enough for her facade so we decided to go home which is why I was late today. If Mr. Stanley will fire me because of being late, I'm done. I hope not if worst I will beg him not to fire me instead cut my salary for half a month. Next time I won't go out with Liz like that ever again. I carry on to my office then rashly fix some work before reporting today's schedule of my boss. I like this job, not just like I need this job more than liking it. I knock on the door before entering then I walk near his table with bulks of documents in my hand. While walking towards him he looks up and our eyes meet. My heart was beating fast, initially because of being late this morning but for other reasons, I am always captivated with that handsome face of him. " Goodmorning Mr. Stanley here are the documents that need to be reviewed and your today's schedule I printed it so that if in case you can forget you just have to look at it," I said feigned not being nervous. " Thank you, you can leave".He said void with emotion. It was just like I gained a pardon from being prison so I fled immediately not wanting to face my punishment. Thank goodness It seems that he doesn't know? or his just too busy to care for my small mishap but it does not sound like his style, never mind I have to face it whenever he would confront me. Returning to my office I buried myself for other work so as to patch up the time that I miss this morning.
while I was working on something pop-up in my mind, I pulled myself together unconsciously stole a glance at the clock on the wall that hangs above my office door. It was already twelve in the afternoon, time for lunch I don't have to bother myself ordering take-out food for my boss because he has a client meeting outside. I gather myself to the cafeteria just on the first floor of this building. I ordered my food and finish it in no time. I came back to my office. Time flew so by quickly. A day passed just like that. Before I go home I prepare the files and proposals that need to be review and sign by Mr. Stanley tomorrow along with his schedule. I put it on the table of my boss so that I don't need to face him tomorrow morning. After doing so, I walk inside the elevator towards the parking lot of the Stanley Manufacturing building. I just walk out of the elevator and I can see that uncle ben is opening the car door while smiling at me. Uncle Ben is the chauffer of Stanley's family that has been assigned as a company driver, he is serving my boss's family for almost 15 years. Now his job was included sending me to and fro. He in his fifty years old now. He is like a father to me after a month of being acquainted. The car is now speeding up in the road of this bustling city. I sit down quietly looking outside the car window. I don't know why but it suddenly dunned in me that it's like I miss someone. And who could it be? I don't have a boyfriend, or is it my parents? It couldn't be the case too because I always called my parents every weekend. I felt empty and weary, sigh maybe I am lack sleep so I would sleep early tonight so I can get rid of this uncomfortableness. I was interrupted with my thoughts when Uncle Ben stops the car in front of my apartment so I put away that unlikely thought. I got out of the car then wave thank uncle ben before walking towards my apartment. That's how my day has ended, a boring one to tell.
The family of three with Cass to make it four persons eating, chatting, and laughing at the dining table of the Stanley house was so harmonious to see. Josh was so happy today because he really achieved his goal to bring Cass for dinner in his parent's house and so as the coming dinner on the coming next months or occasion. Their relationship was getting better every day but they don't know that there is a coming storm that would shake their relationship more than they expected. The dinner ended a little longer this time because they don't realize that they're taking too much time on it because they are happily chatting with each other. After dinner, Josh drove off to Cass's apartment. While in the car they don't talk much and it did not take long they arrived in front of Cass's apartment. He also goes back to his villa after sending Cass. Today Josh was so tired that after going inside his bedroom, he take a shower and drop his body on his soft bed, and when his head
Josh POV I was so amused that I almost forgot that I was talking to her on the other line. Today is her day off so I called her thinking she was already up, but I didn't expect that it was almost ten o'clock in the morning that she is still sleeping. I was just teasing her when I told her that she would go out of her bed to open the door for me, but she did not let me finish speaking when she hung up the phone. I thought she was that sleepy so I did not call her again just to let her sleep a little longer. But when my phone rang and I saw her calling I have my initial guess and it was confirmed when she said that I fooled her. After I laugh out my amusement for her, I comforted her which it take a lot of effort to comfort her. Until now, while I was looking at the content of the documents that were piled up on my table, my mind is still on the conversation I was with her a while ago. I tried to shrug it off but it continue to surface in my mind. After
Cass POV It was one month now from Josh's mother's birthday and is also the day of our first monthsary. Josh and was getting well, he is sweet, caring, and thoughtful to me. I didn't see a reason not to accept him because even his family welcome me by treating me well. This one month of being his girlfriend is making me weak in front of him. I felt being protected when I am beside him. During work, we are professional in front of others but when we are alone we are boyfriend and girlfriend. The more days we spent together the more my feelings towards him became clearer. It never occurred in my mind that I would become the girlfriend of my boss not even in my dreams. Today is my day off and I was awakened very early that it is just three o'clock in the morning and here I am staring at the ceiling for about an hour. I don't know why but my eyes can't go back to sleep anymore which really happens to me. I grab my phone to play hoping sleepiness will come back after a while of p
It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when I was done digging those files, I lean my back on my chair to relax the stiff that I feel from my back. I saw my phone from the side and check if there's a message that I did not hear because of being too focused on my work. I am not mistaken I have a message and it was from Cass. When I open it, she was asking if I have any allergies to food. I felt a warmth reading her message. I decided to call her, when the call gets through the line I was answered by a hoarse voice that seems like just woken up from sleep. I ask her if I have disturbed her but she said it's okay. Maybe she was really sleepy that's why she decided to be absent from work today. I told her that I have an allergy to peanuts and that's all. We did not speak that long for I have a meeting to attend so I end up the call and promise to come in her place after work. I am excited to end this day because of her invitation for dinner and I also plan to get her something lat
Cass POV I felt the sun rays spreading their warmth across my skin as it pecked through the window, as I had forgotten to close the blinds last night. I open my eyes and look a the ceiling and the memories of last night flooded my mind, I realize that we are now an official couple started last night. Ugh, I subconsciously wipe my hands off my face that reminds me he kissed me. Oh, that was my first kissed its been taken away by him. I felt my cheeks burning with that thought, how would I face him. Last night I was like floating in the air after everything that happens because I can't believe what happen is like a flash of lightning. I woke up a little late today but I felt not in the mood to go to the office today because I don't know how I could handle my boss was now my boyfriend? What the heck was going on with my life. After thinking too much about the happenings last night I slowly get out of my bed and walk to the bathroom. Maybe I just need a shower to wake me up tota
Josh POV I can't explain how I felt this time, I can say my plan for today was very successful. Cass and I become official and my plan to do it on my mother's birthday for the purpose of making her happy was successful too. After I send Cass to her apartment I did not go back to my parent's house. I go home to my villa, I want to be alone while thinking. I want to celebrate our relationship but maybe after one month, I would surprise her. I arrived at my villa, it is dark because betty is in the mansion so I am literally alone in my house this time. I park my car in the garage then entered the house and turn n the lights. I walk to my mini bar to our a glass of wine for myself before going into my bedroom. While sipping the wine a thought came to my mind, I am now a man that has a girlfriend. That thought makes me smile, I really come to this moment like an idiot smiling alone while thinking a girl. Is this really like this? I sigh and stood up to go to my bedroom. I remove
