All my life it is always just Dad who I considered as my home, my peace of mind. A safe place that I can always run to after all the pain that I am facing in life.I feel like my only obligation in this life is to go watch and take care of him. I tried to lean my head in the chair inside the taxi. I am going at work now and I just feel so empty right now.I don't know what exactly my plan about this life but maybe just living peacefully with Dad is already enough for me. I heaved a sigh when the taxi already stopped in front of the UZ bank. i already made up my mind. I made a decision and realization last night and I think it is final now.I will avoid Mr. Woods now. I mean it will help if I will only stay as a normal secretary of him. I should stop making things with him anymore such as going somewhere that is not included about my work. Maybe just go for some meetings and stuffs that needed in the company.I walked straight towards my table.I saw th
"What's bothering you, please tell me." We stayed in that kind of position. I am just hoping that no one can see us right now.I closed my eyes tightly and currently forcing my heart to stop from beating so fast for a while. I am scared than he might hear it from his position."Mr. Woods nothings bothering me. I am just fine." I answered but I know he is not yet convinced about my answer."Then why are you doing that to me? We alright?" He ask again and I don't know where to find explanations to him already. Should I tell him that I am avoiding him? For what reason? Should I tell him that I am doing this on purpose? What kind of purpose? Just to avoid him because I freaking like him and I don't want it to get worse because it is a dangerous path to take? Huh? Oh my God, I am getting crazy over this.I just realized this last night and it is already giving me a headache. "Kellah, please." Mr. Woods uttered again using his most gentle vo
"I thought you won't be late at work." Mr. Woods smirked as I walk towards their direction."For the first time, you woke up late this morning, honey?" Dad ask and I just smiled to him. bitterly because he is right."Did you stay late up night? I slept already when you got home." Dad added."Did you stay late up night?" Mr. Woods asked too. I shook my head."I'm sorry, i think we need to go now. We will be late now. I am really sorry." I uttered."But aren't you going to eat first?" Dad ask but I immediately shake my head."Nah, I'm good. I can have coffee later in the building." I answered as I also fixed my bag."Your Dad is right. You need to eat first. " Mr. Woods said as he stood up from our couch too. "But we will be late already-""You need to eat Kellah. Come on." He cut me off as I also pouted. I felt like I was bothering him too much. You should just go or go straight to UZ bank to finish it. It's okay for me not to have breakfast. But of course Dad wouldn't allow that, es
"Mr Woods, everyone is already finding you in the conference room." I just jumped even more and wanted to get away from Mr Woods when someone suddenly called to him ahead. I looked over there and saw that it was Miss Bea. Mr Woods was stronger so I didn’t immediately lose his grip. "Your Mommy and other stock holders are already there." He added but our position is still the same. "You two can flirt later." Miss Bea giggled and my face seemed to blush even more. I don't know what can Miss Bea think now. She might think we're flirting here. What the heck is Mr. Woods really doing? "Yeah, we will just finish this. I will be there." He said and smiled. He really find this fun, right? "Let us go inside now." Mr. Woods uttered again and smirk.I followed him as we walked inside and I think I will lose my energy here. This is so scary. Everyone is sitting in the conference room chair especially the people who look rich and they seem to be the ones connected to the company. I walked o
Mr Woods's Mommy continued to speak in front of us all. Everyone is quiet and listening as well. Her Mommy is really very intimidating, scary at first glance.Earlier Mr Woods was looking at me and talking purely with his eyes but also stopped when Miss Bea caught him talking to me while his Mommy was still saying something in front of us.When the meeting finally ended there were many more conversations between the guests there including Mr Woods and his Mommy. Employees like us cleaned the whole room to get back to our jobs as well. After that I stayed behind Mr Woods because he might still have something to order me, of course, I am his secretary."Well, that's great Mr. Lim. The anniversary of the bank is coming and we will just meet there soon, okay? Thank you for coming." I heard Mr Woods's Mommy say as he stood next to that beautiful woman. "I'm sorry the meeting took so long to end." I faced the suddenly speaking Mr Woods. I smiled and faced him as well. "Its okay." I answer
"Mr. Woods," I called to Mr. Woods after I let go of his kiss on me. He did not answer but remained his firm gaze on me even his hands on my waist. "Do you know why I kissed you that night?" I asked him suddenly. Her eyes became serious as she looked at me and seemed eager to hear what I had to say. "Because I want to know how I feel for you. I want to feel weird." I started by explaining. He was just listening. I bent down and faced his chest, I didn't want to look at him because I knew my knees would only weaken. "I want to confirm how I feel about you." I nodded and slowly looked up at him. "Did you feel anything?" His voice was serious in asking me. "Did you feel something because even if you didn't kiss me that night i would still go crazy over you. But when you did, I feel like..I was tamed." He uttered while looking straight into my eyes. "Now, tell me if you felt anything? Did you feel anything?" He asked again. "Trembling, weakness, pounding of the chest and thinking e
"When you get home, eat dinner right away." Mr Woods said while adjusting my seat belt. Ammy was in the back and I knew she was just watching us too. I did not answer and spoke. I can remember all of my random interactions with Mr Woods before. He never take me home before. But I can remember how he even booked a taxi for me that one night and I really appreciated it. I even found out that he didn't really book it because it was really their driver.In the simple things he shows even though he always looks rude, even though his eyebrows are always furrowed, but there are things that I see special in him. I know what Ammy is thinking. Maybe she thinks I’m just flirting to Mr Woods like she said before. Maybe she wouldn't believe that I really liked the man because they never once tried to get to know Mr Woods, nor was he given a chance to be close to them and also because he was a puzzle to solve for the employees. They judged him too so he could not be blamed.And now if I were ask
"She just wants to get what she wants. She wants me to marry a wealthy family too. I want someone else and that's you Kellah." "But Mr. Woods, it will ..." I can't continue to say because I might disappoint him again and he will be sad. "What is it? Tell me what you think Kellah." "Hm, we can just stop for now. It's still early that there are still possibilities that we might lose what we feel, isn't it? We can still lose our feelings. It will still change, it will affect your family, your Mommy ... and my job as well." He frowned and seems like he didn't like what I said. He was confused the moment he heard what I said. "Do you think my feelings aren't that too much that I won't risk, right? You think I'm not that crazy over you so you say that there is possibilities that it might change, huh? I don't care if you lose what you feel towards me in the next months, in the next year's and decades because if that happens, I'll do everything and find ways for you to like me again."I
