Marissa’s POV

It was all dramatic when Zeana Tan went inside. The noise died down as she entered. The people inside just became motionless and regarded her majestic presence. I was there, in front of the long conference table, with a hanging mouth and eyes not blinking as I was so amazed by how powerful she was in person.

Zeana Tan first ventured her eyes around the room before her gaze went in my direction. The moment she looked at me, I felt so breathless. I saw how she furrowed her eyebrows and hovered her gaze over me with conspicuous mixed concern and curiosity. I was so embarrassed that I bowed my head.

She must be wondering why I was in front of the higher-ups. Can’t the floor just eat me up?

While embarrassment still possessed me, Diego guided Zeana Tan to her seat as the board of directors tried to greet her. She would just smile and briefly nod at them before she got comfortable sitting.

“You can start now, baby,” Diego whispered when he went to his capital chair beside me

    Marissa’s POV“Excuse me?” I had to say. “Are you talking to me?” The woman regarded me with a sweet smile yet her glaring eyes towards me were conspicuous. I furrowed my eyebrows and hovered my gaze from her head to foot. She was wearing a sexy white bodycon dress, a pair of high heels, with a Chanel bag dangling on her wrist.Wait, her clothes… were the same with the woman who was hugging Diego a while ago.Don’t tell me…“I’m Vivian, Diego’s girlfriend,” she said, her head raising confidently.Diego’s girlfriend? But did he not say that he never met someone else after me? Did he just lie to me, then?“Why? Are you surprised that you can’t speak?” the woman sarcastically asked.Maybe because I was confused that it showed on my face. I closed my lips that were apart and blinked twice.“Hi,” I greeted casually. “Nice meeting you, Ms. Vivian. I hope you have a good day.”She scoffed. “I know you. You were the secretary of my boyfriend before and a fake fiance who was desperate to mar

    Marissa’s POV“Marissa, where have you been? I’ve looked for you in the office, and Ms. Desmon that you were still not arriving!” Mrs. Rivera exclaimed as she approached me outside the conference room.I smiled at her apologetically. “I’m so sorry, madame. I had to do something important,” I said.She pouted and teasingly hovered her gaze from my head to feet. “Did it pressure you that I told you to wear something good in today’s meeting?” she asked.“Ah, haha, no, madam,” I said, chuckling and casually looking at the closed door. “Is everyone inside, madame?”“Technically, yes. Although all of the shareholders and board of directors are inside the room, Ms. Zeana Tan and Mr. George Benitez ate inside the building yet not arriving on this floor, so you got here first,” my boss explained, now holding the small of my back. “Shall we enter and greet the high-positioned individuals in the room?”“Sure, madame.”I was the one who opened the door for her before I followed her inside. Just l

    Marissa’s POV“I am not your wife if you recall, so stop saying to other people that I am,” I opened up when we got into the car and were now going in the direction of the company.“I’m just playing around,” Diego said and chuckled. “Also, I don’t see anyone to be my wife except you, so…”Ugh, he’s speaking gibberish again…I rolled my eyes and just withdrew my phone from my bag when I felt it vibrate. It was a text from Mrs. Rivera, asking where I am right now. Gosh, I still have not had breakfast and yet the meeting is going to start now in an hour. But whatever, it doesn’t matter. I can just eat after the meeting.“The meeting will start in an hour. You are included, if I am not mistaken,” I pointed out and turned my head at Diego.“Uhh, yes,” he said and casually looked at his watch. “Tito George told me so, after you told me last night.”I nodded and did not say anything until we arrived at the parking lot of the company. I was about to open the car door when Diego stopped my ha

  • To Love My Boss   Chapter One-Hundred-Eleven: A Family that I Needed

    Marissa’s POVAll of my work outfits were repetitive, so I was struggling to find something to wear in this crucial and important conference. I did not want to look like a rug beside Mrs. Rivera. I want to at least look like they can negotiate with me. Disregarding the fact that Zeana Tan and George Benitez are my biological parents, they are still the most successful and renowned business tycoons.“Shit…” I cursed and traced my fingers through my clothes in my wardrobe. “What do I wear?”Before I could even pinpoint anything, a car’s horn outside the house engulfed the whole neighborhood as if announcing its arrival. I could barely care, though. I have a huge problem!“Ma’am Marissa! Sir Diego is here!” I heard Elisa saying outside my room.“Wait, what?” I mumbled to myself and frantically closed my wardrobe to face the door where Elisa was outside. “Why is he here, Elisa?!”“Sir wants to drive you to your work, ma’am!”Huh? I didn't even know that!I was so puzzled when I opened the

    Marissa’s POV“Thank you for your time tonight,” I said as I escorted Diego outside the house. “Lilith is happy that you joined us in the McDonald’s.”“I know,” he answered and faced me, turning his back on his car, “but are you happy that I am here?”I was taken aback by his question and became statued on where I was standing.After we had a bottle of wine, Diego decided to go home now. I don’t know, but before he could even ask that, I wanted him to stay here in our house. I want him near. I might be crazy, though it’s true. He was right the other day. I still have feelings for him despite the years that have gone by.For a moment, I could not find the right words to say. Silence stretched. My eyes were wandering as long as I couldn't stare back at him, until I heard him chuckle. When I looked at him straight again, I was breathless as he stepped forward and cupped my face, giving me a sweet forehead kiss that made me close my eyes.“I also know the answer, Marissa. No matter how y

  • To Love My Boss   Chapter One-Hundred-Nine: You’ll Be Fine, My Love

    MARISSAWe went home after I granted my daughter a McDonald’s meal. As expected, Diego followed us home, and I don’t know if I should be comfortable with this or not after he called me with his formal address towards me as his former secretary. For a moment, I felt a tingling feeling with nostalgia in it. I must say that I may have missed my job, and also - him. “Elisa, you can take Lilith upstairs now. Make sure to give her a half bath please,” I told Elisa as we arrived in the living room.“Yes, Marissa,” she politely said and guided Lilith towards the staircase.Lilith took a last glance at me and it went through my shoulder, making me guess that she was looking at her father behind me. When they were gone already, I faced Diego who was still placing his hands on his pockets. He was watching me with an intense gaze. I was still wearing my work clothes, and I will feel ashamed if I try to change them when Diego is still my visitor at my own home. I should pay his courtesy with mine
