“Are you ready? I’m already outside the building of your condo.”

I can wait.”“I’m pretty sure,” I said with a laugh and immediately left the condo.“Alright.”When I finally stepped out of the entrance of the building, I immediately saw him leaning against his luxurious car.He was dressed in a perfectly tailored black tuxedo. He looked every bit the CEO everyone admired.I had seen Caden wearing expensive suits almost every day at the office, but tonight was different. Maybe it was the tuxedo. Maybe it was the way he stood there so casually while waiting for me.“How many more hours do I have to wait for you to finish staring at me?”I immediately came back to my senses when I

Do you need anything?” I asked.“Someone left this at the front desk.” She handed me a small envelope.“For me?”She nodded. “I was coming up here anyway to bring you what I told you about yesterday, so they just asked me to give that to you as well.”“Oh okay. Thank you.” She immediately left because she said she still had a lot of things to do.Miss Elisha GonzalesI didn’t know why, but I felt something strange when I read that.I slowly opened it, and a picture of Caden and me last night, leaving the restaurant near the company, appeared before me.We worked overtime last night because we had something we needed to finish, and since neither of us had eaten dinner yet, he invited me to eat.My eyes wandered to the back of the picture when I noticed something written there.“You're becoming his weakness.”I suddenly felt cold.At first, I planned to just ignore it, but I couldn’t get it out of my mind, a

    ELISHA POVIt took a week before the talk about the pictures of Caden and me that had circulated finally died down.The photos had already been removed from most websites. The company released a short statement clarifying that the Batangas trip was strictly business-related.“Sir, I just want to remind you about the meeting with Delos Santos at three this afternoon,” I said as I entered his office.“Oh, about that, Elisha. Kindly reschedule that meeting for tomorrow morning.”“But they were the ones who requested this schedule, Sir.”“They’ll understand.”“Okay, Sir.

When I got home yesterday, I immediately fell asleep because of the lack of sleep and exhaustion.I slowly sat up on the bed and stretched.'Today is going to be a long day.'When I arrived at the company, I noticed how restless the employees were. I could also feel the strange heaviness in the atmosphere.The employees were gathered in groups.Some were whispering.Others were staring at their cellphones."What’s happening?" I asked Ysa."Haven’t you seen it yet? Someone posted pictures of you online.""What pictures?" I asked.She handed me her cellphone.
