I Don't Like You For My Son
I placed the two cups of coffee on the table for Mrs. Margarita Montenegro and his son who is my boss. Even from arranging the small plates of sliced cakes respectively in front of them, I could feel the curious and meaningful gazes of Mrs. Margarita while she was talking to his son. To give them privacy inside the office, I went outside to attend to the remaining errands Mr. Montenegro tasked me to do.
“Here are the files, Ms. Castro,” a male employee said and offered me the portfolio I made him grab from the printing office. “They are said to be the pending work papers that need the personal signatures of the executive director and the vice chairman.”
“Oh, thank you so much. I will have to distribute these papers to the members of the board.”
“You’re welcome, Ms. Castro.”
I nodded as regard and then did not waste time reading the files again whi

The Marriage Contract with the Vice Chairman The Cheater Type Like Cielo
I never heard anything like a label like that to me. People always compliment me because of what I am capable of, and I never did anything wrong to anyone. And just because I am acting like a wife to Mr. Montenegro, I would deserve to be called a gold digger?I breathed in and out silently. Chill out, Jill. You have to handle this elegantly. If you react impulsively, Mrs. Montenegro would not like you anymore. Maybe she is just saying this for you to break up with Mr. Montenegro, which is not gonna happen because the add-up salary is such a waste!“Mrs. Montenegro,” I called her with a smile on my face and stepped forward for her to hear me. “I don’t care what other people think about me, and that is the thing you do not about me…”Her eyebrows furrowed and her arms crossed even when I was still speaking. For me, it is a defensive stance of a woman.“You may not care. For you, it would not pierce you, but Darwin will be affected. Not just him, but his reputation, and our family’s repu
The Marriage Contract with the Vice Chairman I Don't Want Him Back Anymore
“What are you doing here?” I asked Cielo who is in front of me.I saw him gulp intensely. “I told you in my text, that I want to talk to you,” he said. “Have you not read it?”Instead of answering him, I just rolled my eyes and gazed at the wall beside us. I sighed, not answering why I decided to agree to talk to him at the back of the Starbucks coffee shop. We even left Mitch inside!“Jill,” he called me, but I did not turn to him. “I know that you do not want to talk to me, but I have been thinking things a lot lately…”I furrowed my eyebrows and slowly turned to him. His eyebrows were parted and his eyes were flickering with guilt and sadness.“I was thinking about you since our break-up,” he continued. “And I realized that I love you and that I could never be able to lose you, Jill…”What the hell?“So… c-can you give me a chance-?”Before he could even finish his sentence, my palm had already flown to his cheek. I hyperventilated after doing that. My tears stung my eyes when he l
The Marriage Contract with the Vice Chairman Concern
“What talk did you do with Cielo that took you so long? I was waiting for you for thirty minutes until I have finished my latte,” Mitch ranted when I went back to our table in the coffee shop.I smiled wearily. “I’m sorry,” I said and sat on the chair. “I talked to Cielo for a bit, and then Mr. Montenegro showed up.”“Huh?” Mitch mumbled in confusion and crossed her arms. “And how did your fiancé show up in the coffee shop?”“He was checking on me since the dispatch who was spying on us was still around. It was hired by the chairman to find some dirt to destroy our relationship,” I said boredly, now circling the straw on the cup.“Okay,” Mitch said and squinted her eyes, maybe noticing my exhaustion. “I think you should go home and rest. We can talk about everything next time. I know you’re tired.""Thank you, Mitch.”My best friend helped me find a taxi on the road and I felt like my soul has left me since I opened up to Mr. Montenegro earlier in his car. While the taxi is running on
The Marriage Contract with the Vice Chairman Insensitive
I kept giving glances towards Mr. Montenegro. He was busy flipping the paper works on his table, and I could guarantee that he might not be noticing my glances I was giving. I am currently taking notes of his appointments using a table, for I am going to assist him to another company where his brother is working. It’s another establishment their family owns. It runs a warehouse for manufacturing products.“Ms. Castro,” he suddenly called me out of nowhere, so I just looked at him constantly without taking my eyes off him. “I want you to go to the financial department and ask for a list of liquidation of the profit the warehouse had from the previous month. It seems like the accountant gave the wrong financial statement to me.”I rose to my feet, nodded, and answered obediently, “Yes, sir,” I said.I dramatically but surely turned around, so that I would catch him give glances at me, but he did not. I breathed out with disappointment, even if I don’t have the valid reason to be disappo
The Marriage Contract with the Vice Chairman The Devastating Phone Call
Mr. Montenegro brought me to an expensive restaurant. It was very near to the company building of VC Holdings Inc. so that many would know us. It is not even doubt that he is the center of the customers’ attention inside the restaurant. Nothing new to me, though.As expected, we did not talk. He never talks usually, except if the topic is about work. So I just focused on my chicken meat, my eyes were on the utensils and the food, while chewing what I am eating.“Did your ex contact you?”And yes, that was unexpected --- he spoke up. What I did not see coming is him asking about Cielo!I did not show that I was affected by his question and just casually lifted my gaze at him. He was careful in using his utensils and his eyes were repeatedly venturing on the glass of his water and the dish, never on me.“Uhhh,” I started to mumble. &ldquo
The Marriage Contract with the Vice Chairman Ranting On His Face
I did not have to open the door when I saw a doctor going outside. He looked at me and was attentive to my presence. “Good day, ma’am. Are you a relative of the dead patient?” he asked. I furrowed my eyebrows. “M-Ms. Mitch Hermosa. Is she the d-dead patient?” I stammered asking. The doctor sighed and miserably nodded. He volunteered in opening the door for me. I inhaled sharply when I saw someone who is covered with a white blanket on a hospital bed. I did not say anything anymore to the doctor and just passed by him to approach the shrouded body on the bed. But when I have already arrived in front of it, my feeling went cold and dark. With trembling hands, I slipped my hand on the covers without even breathing. Please, it can’t be you, Mitch… But the buildings of hope I built merely collapsed when I saw her cold and pale face when I opened the blanket. There were fresh cuts on her face and even dry blood on her cheek. Her lips were chapped and her skin seemed so broken out. “O
The Marriage Contract with the Vice Chairman Volunteer As A Friend
It was a mistake. I should have not let my anger and sadness take over me when I shouted at Mr. Montenegro. A childish thing. I breathed in and out, now slowly opening the doors of Mr. Montenegro’s office the next days when I decided to attend my job in the company. I peeked through the door’s opening when it made a creak. As usual, I saw my boss reading a paper from his table. It took seconds before he felt that I was looking at him and lifted his head swiftly. Shit! I almost hid from the door, but I know escaping won’t do any good to me. I just sighed and opened the door widely. “G-Good morning, Mr. Montenegro,” I greeted with a squeak when I completely indulged myself in. I played with my fingers and could not stop lowering my head. “Good morning,” he greeted coldly, and I don’t know if he is looking at me or not. “I supposed to know that you can’t go to work when you are still not recovered from your dear friend’s death.” I shut my eyes tightly. “I’m sorry for what happene
The Marriage Contract with the Vice Chairman During the Conference
“What… What do you mean, sir?”I did hear what he just said but could not quite comprehend it. He tilted his head, his ears started to redden in embarrassment and sighed aggressively.“I want to be your friend,” he repeated. “I admit that you have been bothering my mind a lot for the past few days. Don’t get me wrong, but I sympathize with what is happening in your life.”“Sir, you don’t have to sympathize with me. Profession and personal issues must be segregated,” she said. “I won’t let you in my problems. It will make you stressed out, sir. I don’t even know why you are suggesting such a thing, sir.”“You are talking too much. Stop that.”I zipped my lip.“I am your friend now, whether you like it or not,” he said. “I’ll court you so that you would be my friend.”The hell?He rolled his eyes when he saw my confused expression. “I said, I’ll court you. Like, persuade you to consider me as your friend. Not the other way around, so stop looking at me like that.”Before I could even ap
