I was taken aback by Beatrice's last statement. I didn't know whether to laugh or be embarrassed. Boss Blue and I locked eyes, and I quickly averted my gaze. I swallowed hard. Beatrice's words created an awkwardness between us. Or… I don't know if he felt it too. Or maybe it's just me experiencing these vibes because of what happened between me and Boss Blue. Boss Blue almost shook his head and closed his eyes when Beatrice cried. No matter what he said or did, he couldn't calm her down. Yzack, who was standing in the corner, sighed in frustration.“Uhm… Beatrice,” I interjected their conversation. I held her small hands to face her. “Your Dad is right, what you're asking for isn't that easy. But we'll figure it out, mmkay?” I said.I saw Beatrice smile at me when I said that. I also smiled realizing how easy it was to calm her tantrums. Well, I haven't really experienced her tantrums yet. But I feel like she's easy to take care of. She's very understanding and a very kind child. It
I saw Boss Blue’s jaw clench as his eyes focused on the road. "I had a meeting earlier near your place, and then I just thought I'd drop by. You might be late, and no one would be watching my daughter at the hospital," he explained.I just nodded at what he said. Finally, the things I've been overthinking were clarified. I could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Well, I hope we go straight to his daughter at the hospital and don't stop anywhere else. Sometimes he can't resist his urges when we're together. Like what happened in the elevator. That's why I prefer not to be alone in a room with him."Why? Do you think I'm picking you up because you don't know how to commute?" He shook his head and smirked. "F*ck it off," he muttered softly. "I wouldn't waste my time if it wasn't for my daughter. Remember that," he said.I looked down involuntarily. It seemed a bit harsh the way he said it. It would have been fine if he just thought of dropping by. But the – Wait. My brow furrowed as I re
“OH MY HOLY GOSH!” Shamcey almost fainted in shock when she saw me inside her room as she turned on the light. “What are you doing here?” she whispered.I glared at her. “You’re still tiptoeing around,” I said, clicking my tongue and nodding my head in disappointment. “Where were you?” I started interrogating her.She gasped and laughed at what I said.I raised an eyebrow at her. “Do I look like I’m joking, Shamcey Ann Sanson De Guzman?” I called her by her full name. Yes, I just said her super long name.She averted her gaze. She cleared her throat as she switched to her serious mode.“Where were you? Can’t you see what time it is?” I asked, one after another. “It’s freakin’ four in the morning, and yet, you just got home from work,” I emphasized my last statement. I looked at her outfit. She was wearing party clothes. She was wearing her green bodycon dress and her hair was curly. She also had smoky makeup on, where I could barely recognize her. “What are you doing to yourself?” I s
I swallowed hard when I heard what he said. Is he freakin' serious right now? I averted my gaze when I saw his serious eyes staring at me. Alright, I think he's not joking now.I cleared my throat as I discreetly retreated towards the slightly open door. "If... you... you can't think of any food you want to eat, I'll just cook something I think you'll like," I said. I was about to leave when Boss Convocar grabbed my arm to stop me. He roughly pushed me against the wall, our bodies inches apart."Are you really sure you can't remember?" He murmured. I looked back at him. He's still looking at me with his dark eyes. I don't know why he's acting like this towards me. It's as if I've forgotten something important. Yes, I've forgotten many memories before. But that night when I met him isn't included.My brow furrowed when I heard that. What does he mean? About what happened that night? Yes, I remember. But is it still important? Do I need to tell him in detail what we did that night?I sw
It was already 1 AM when Sir Yzack dropped me off. We were in his car, which was parked outside Aunt Rabiya's house. "So you live here," Sir Yzack said, breaking the silence. Did I hear that right? Based on his voice, it seemed like he was hinting at something to me. I looked at him as I her a look of dumbfounded"H-Huh?"I heard him chuckle and shake his head. He paused the music and turned his attention to me. "How are you feeling? Are you sure you didn't feel dizzy after getting your blood collected earlier?" He began to change his topic.I did nothing except observe him as I stared at him. The way he looked at me... it felt like he knew me. "Uh," I said as I touched the spot on my arm where the doctor had taken blood. It did cause some discomfort. I also experienced a feeling of weakness. The fact that I am terrified of injections made my fear even more overwhelming. It was actually this specific reason why I had some worries earlier. "No worries, sir, I'm fine," I replied. "I'll
I have no words to describe the feeling I have. I'm so thrilled that I feel like a child playing as I walk through the wealthy subdivision where Boss Convocar resides. I find it strange. A few hours ago, the sun was really hot and strong, but right now it feels very at peace. It is obvious that Ms. Anj experienced some punishment for her actions earlier. I took some deep breaths as I was enjoying the cooling breeze that seemed to dance the trees and flowers that were on the sidewalk. My hair was blowing by the wind, so I reached for my claw clip to tie it.As I started out with my new job, things did not go well. I was prepared to earn the trust of the child that I was going to be assigned to take care of. Oh, what a waste! It seems as though fate is playing something with me today. The fact that many things unfolded before even half of my shift is mind-blowing. First, I met a coworker who was even more bossy than my own supervisor. Second, I encountered another coworker who stole all
