The Marriage Contract Chapter 38
After we finished eating, Keandrick insisted on taking me home to Bella's condo but I suddenly panick when I noticed the time when I take a glance at my wrist watch. It's almost 6 PM already and I still have my shift at the coffee shop. Gladly that I already ate, I'll just eat light meal again if I feel like I'm hungry again. "Umm... Just take me at the coffee shop. I still have night shift," I started to cut off the silence and felt Keandrick turned to me. When I take a glimpse at him, I noticed how his brows furrowed while looking at me intently. Confusion was written all over his face but I just avoided his gaze."You're... Still working at night?" I heard him uttered, curiousity was evident in his voice.I silently nodded, "Hmm... It'll be finished at 10 PM," I replied without taking my eyes off the view in front. The car were still not moving."Shall we, Mr. Saavedra? I'll lead the way. Don't worry sir, it's just a few meters before the building where I am staying." He nodded an

"Ah, I'm so tired!" Bella mumbled as we both drop our bags on the floor and exhaustedly drop ourselves on the sofa and tightly close my eyes.We just came home at Bella's condo from our shift at the coffee shop. The number of customers tonight was countless. There are lots of them. Some stayed at the shop to review maybe because the finals is coming. On the other hand, Keandrick also message me when he got home to his parents which I find it unusual for him to do it. It's the first time he message me to update his whereabouts and I couldn't get the idea for of him updating me. Meh, it was beyond office hours already. My face crumpled at that thought. I tightly close my eyes to rest myself for a bit due of exhaustion."You hungry?" I uttered, enough to be heard by the girl beside me. "Nope," she replied, popping the letter 'p'. "I want to rest now. I'm sleepy," she added and I heard her yawned. I nodded. "Same."I get up and pick my bag that I just drop on the floor and went to my r

"You really wouldn't believe that I am into you?" he added but I don't know how to respond to the words he said that all I could do is blink. "Well, Audrey, from now on, I am formally informing you that I'll court you and make you my girlfriend," he uttered with finality while staring directly into my eyes as if he can see me through my soul. We stared at each other as my eyes remained widened in shock, mouth gape open.I tried to look for signs in his eyes that he was just messing with me but I found none. And deep in myself, I know that I am scared that Keandrick might really saying the truth—that he'll make me his. I don't know why am I even scared and it just frustrated where this is coming from. I don't know what to say after that sudden confession. God! Keandrick Saavedra never failed to surprise me!

"Uh... Did I interupt something?" A voice uttered and I quickly move my face away from Keandrick. I was about to stand up from Keandrick's lap but he didn't let me. He look at me with warning eyes and I just pouted and just choose to sat comfortably on his lap despite the embarassment I am feeling right now. But then, I still choose to quickly get myself up and fix my skirt that is a little bit crumpled due of sitting at Keandrick's lap. My heart was pounding hard inside my chest. I cleared my throat like as if nothing happened a while ago and convinced myself that the person who just came inside the room didn't saw what we are doing. I face palm due of embarrassment because I know to myself, even if I admit it or not, that someone saw Keandrick and I kissing passionately. Oh my god! I felt my cheeks heated at that realization that I just kissed Keandrick's lips! He's my boss for goodness sake! My cheek continues to heat up and swea I am now looks like a fucking red tomato.What I ha
The Marriage Contract Chapter 42
Just by the thought of my relationship status with the CEO of the Saavedra Inc.—Keandrick Saavedra, is enough to make my eyes and heart cry in confusion, in frustration, and because of my own stupidity. Never in my life had I thought that I'd ended up in this kind of situation. He confessed to me. He said he likes me. He never denied it to me.

It's already 3 in the morning and I still haven't gotten any sleep. My mind was still active at this hour which made it harder to sleep. It was clouded with thoughts and I couldn't have any idea how to calm my mind and finally put myself into a peaceful sleep. I was just staring at the white ceiling.

The Marriage Contract Chapter 44
Chapter 44 My hands went cold as if I am shivering due of the aircon that was turned on. But I know more than that. I am nervous. And I don’t know from where it came from and why. My mind could sense something was off if I really go inside my boss’ office. I don’t want to give myself false hope but I hope I was wrong because I really don’t want to talk about it. As I turned the knob and pushed the door lightly, I saw Mr. Saavedra sitting on his usual spot and just like the some other days, he was busy reading some papers. I was about to back down but before I could even closed the door, he already caught me peeking inside and from that moment, I know that there’s no turning back. It’s too late now because he already caught me in the act. “You’re here,” he uttered in a low voice but enough to sent shivers on my body as if we were just close. “Come here,” he added and I did what he said. My steps were average and I don’t know why am I nervous right now. My heart pounded louder than
