"Sir, you're disturbing the other guests. Could you please leave?"Pedro's anger flared, and he shot back at the manager with intensity, making it clear who he was. "Do you even know who I am? I am Pedro Lassiter! Clear this place of all the customers, and reserve it for us! I'll cover all the expenses!"Adrienne couldn't help but feel sorry for the manager, who had no choice but to comply with Pedro's demands. The power and influence of the Lassiter family ensured that they always got what they wanted."Sir, there are plenty of other secretaries out there. Besides, I've been working for you for a long time. I thought maybe I could

After Adrienne and Cathy finished their conversation, Adrienne left the cafeteria and went up to her boss's office. There was a nervous, giddy, and dazed feeling in her heart. She didn't understand why, but after just a few hours of not seeing Pedro, she already missed him."I'm so crazy about him."When Adrienne arrived at her desk, she found flowers, chocolates, and a teddy bear there. There was a note as well, and she couldn't help but smile and feel giddy as she read it."You're giving me an early Christmas gift, Santa Claus. Thank you for the love. After several years, you finally gave me something that I will cherish forever."Adrienne read the note while sitting on her swivel chair and opening her desktop."Give me a smile, so my early arrival is worth it."Adrienne looked at the glass wall of Pedro's office, and coincidentally, her boss was looking at her with a smile. They were like crazy people staring and smiling at each other.Adrienne bit her lip and focused on her work.

Adrienne observed Pedro from the kitchen, witnessing a side of him that was rarely seen – playful, affectionate, and warm-hearted.

It was hard to believe that the typically stern and intimidating Pedro Lassiter could display such genuine emotions.Cathy, always the joker, couldn't resist teasing Adrienne about the situation. "Hey, girl, I think I need to see an eye specialist. Did I really witness Pedro Lassiter smiling?"Adrienne responded with a sarcastic tone, "What do you think? Do you still believe our boss is emotionless?"Cathy raised her hands in surrender. "Well, maybe just a tiny bit. But in all fairness, who knew Sir could be so fond of children? Maybe you should give him one?" she teased, causing Adrienne's cheeks to flush with embarrassment."You're impossible," Adrienne retorted, trying to brush off the teasing. Deep down, though, she couldn

Sunday arrived, granting Adrienne a much-needed day of rest. She began the morning by attending mass, finding solace and peace in her faith. The rest of the afternoon was dedicated to cleaning and doing laundry, tasks she had learned to handle independently from a young age.Adrienne's independence was a product of a tragic event that occurred when she was only ten years old. Her parents were meant to embark on their honeymoon in Stonewick, but a devastating accident claimed their lives, leaving her orphaned. After living with her aunt for a while, she eventually found herself alone in the Azura.With her chores completed, she decided to take a quick shower before settling into bed. After a half-hour, she emerged from the shower, donning a black silk robe. Just as she was preparing to retire for the night, a knock echoed at her door."Huh? I wasn't expecting any visitors. It's already eight in the evening... Well, sometimes Cathy visits me here," she pondered, approaching the door.To

ADRIENNE was taken aback by Pedro's sudden change of emotions. Confused and hurt, she couldn't fathom why he had acted so aggressively just moments ago. As she glanced at her injured hand, the result of his rough handling, she realized that Pedro's anger had inadvertently caused her harm.But just as swiftly as his temper flared, it dissipated, leaving Pedro with a remorseful and panicked expression. "I am so sorry, sh*t, what have I done?" he exclaimed, regret evident in his voice."S-Sir, I'm fine... It's just a small wound, far from any vital organs," she reassured him, trying to remain composed.Pedro pulled her into a hug, his affectionate gesture momentarily easing the pain in her hand. "Take a leave, we'll go to the hospital. It might get infected, or worse, leave a scar. Damn it! I should stop being reckless," he insisted.With a chuckle, Adrienne replied, "Sir, please don't be too paranoid. We have a company clinic and a company doctor. It's just a small wound. Go on, I'll go

"Oh, sis? Are you leaving?" Cathy asked Adrienne, breaking the silence.Adrienne nodded with a smile. "Yes, I have a business trip to Azura with the boss, so I need to pack, and our flight is later."Indi chimed in, teasingly, "Wow, fancy. So weak."Miko and Cathy agreed, smirking, while Adrienne winced at their playful banter. "True, mare. How does Pedro seduce? Did he caress you? Romance you? Hahaha.""Watch your mouth, Cathy. He just apologized, and that's it. I don't want to escalate the situation," Adrienne replied calmly.Miko shook his head. "You're different, Adrienne. You can handle all of this. I can't even imagine Boss Pedro apologizing."Adrienne smiled, feeling that Pedro had treated her more gently lately. There was a mix of affection and possessiveness in his actions, giving her a glimmer of hope, even though she knew the situation wasn't entirely right.After her workday, Adrienne went home and started packing her things for the business trip. Checking her watch, she r
