Wife of the Next CEO CHAPTER 10
"Is that funny?" Now he is the one who is getting mad at me. "I'm just saying, Irene... Stop working. You’re living in such a pretty and huge mansion, so why do you need to work? You look rich-""I work for myself. Is that bad? When you can afford all expensive goods or you’re rich, you're not allowed to work?""Unless you have a deeper reason for doing that," he said. "You must have thought I had forgotten your confession to me before... When I was still Teddie, The Teddy Bear.""I think it's my obligation to provide for my family's needs," since he already unleashed what I’m trying to hide, I stopped from telling lies. "Let’s cut the superstition that parents are responsible to provide what their children need forever. They’re job won’t last long. It's too early, but I think this is the perfect time for me to hand over money to them.""Almost two years ago, I decided to combine studying with working... 'Cause I think I have to. My life was not easy, but look at me now, I am survivin

"You know them, Magi?"One by one, the group of men who were playing ball in the pool came up one by one. Those men I also stared at for a minute because of their attractive abs."Ahh, yeah!" Magi replied."It's a long story if we talk about here how we met Irene," Delancy said, she looked at me then smiled. "One thing I can assure to all of you... She's nice. And so, she became our friend."I was shocked by Delancy's description of me, especially when she said that I am now their friend. I can't explain my joy once I hear those words from her tongue. It's just a fun feeling to have someone like them that is willing to flex me as one of their friends."Do you know them?" Harold asked me in a whisper, I was busy putting down the tray I was holding on the table."Long story," I whispered back to him."She just doesn't look nice," said a man while busily brushing his hair."Pretty."The compliments I receive from them are so great, maybe my head will suddenly grow bigger!"Distance bro,"
Wife of the Next CEO CHAPTER 12
I'm busy cleaning the second floor since I haven't been asked to do anything yet. My image would really turn bad if the staff caught me being lazy at work and having no initiative, it can lower grades, or otherwise, lower wages.One thing I learned as a part-timer is that... I learn to initiate work. Waiting for a command from your superior is an epitome of being dependent. In the working world, I learned not to wait from their command. Instead, start to be initiative to work without waiting for their orders. It's not like a person will always act based on the orders of his superiors. We are not robots that will move when dictated.My attention was caught when I reached the veranda, I could see from here where Magi were. They are still here but now, I can see that Eli is with them.How I met him... Because he’s an actor. I admired him so much when they were singing at school with his bandmates... I didn't expect that it was Alec and friends. Since then, I have been following him until
Wife of the Next CEO CHAPTER 13
My first day of OJT is over. When I left the resort at eight o'clock, I had a half-hour travel time before arriving at the jeep terminal. While waiting for a jeep to arrive at the terminal, I briefly distracted myself from Facebook.But surprisingly, someone disturbed me from scrolling at my newsfeed... Who else is the first placer for disturbing me if not Israel?"What are you doing here?" I asked him in wonder."Do people do anything else at the jeep terminal besides riding jeeps?" He's pretty obvious that he's trying to tease me."Really?" I pretended to be surprised by his answer. "Don't tell me, you're also riding the same jeepney---""Why not?" he replied. "You don't want to, do you? You'll be going home with someone from now on."My forehead suddenly creased. "What are you saying?""Is that how you welcome your new villager?" He pouted at me, acting like he's baiting me to make me feel guilty. "We just moved a while ago to the same village where you live, so yes... I can always
Wife of the Next CEO CHAPTER 14
"I live here too," he answered me innocently.And that's when I remembered what he told me earlier... that they had just moved here to our village. W-Well, I guess I’ve gone insensitive for a little while."I'm sorry if you're already irritated by what I'm doing, Irene. I just want to show you how sincere I am in courting you, but I'm not expecting my actions to be nothing but an irritation to you."His face was serious when he entered the gate of the house where we stopped walking, it seems like this is their house. Before he finally entered, he looked at me and smiled. "I don't want to cause an issue between us just because you are already irritated with me. From now on, I will limit myself from doing this that will irritate you. Take care, Irene."And just like that, he left me in front of their gate stunned.I should be happy with what I heard from his mouth... but it was the total opposite of the feeling I'm expecting. I was hurt, saddened by what Israel said. I feel like I'm thr

W-What? She saw her money in my drawer? I don't take anything from her and even more I don't enter their room, unless it's important. At that very moment, Stacy grabbed my attention. As before, she was still smiling at me.She's just giving me an idea that she sets me up.Why would I even think about something and how it ended up in my place? When in fact, there's this Stacy that will undoubtedly do this kind of shit. All I did was to zip my mouth, hiding my clenched fist."You can't answer now? Because my accusation towards you is true!” Aunt Gretchen said angrily. "I know that I have been cruel to you and I know that it is against your heart to hand over to me what you earn from your part-time job. But is that reason enough for you to rob me?!”"Mommy, I won't wonder why she stole your money," Stacy said. "She really wants to pursue her dream of becoming a superstar. Desperate act.”I glared at the demon Stacy. No matter how much I wanted to pursue my dream, it would never enter my

I didn't realize that I was biting my fingernails because my body is now shivering with nervousness and panic. I peeked again and tried to see Israel outside our gate. He's still there, he looks like he's there waiting for me to take him out. But I hadn't even seen him for a long time from the outside, when the rain suddenly came and poured heavily. Israel was empty-handed, it seems like he has no idea that it will rain today.I ran to my bedroom door and tried knocking again."Aunt! Can you let me out for just a moment? I'm begging you!""Please have mercy, let me out of here!""I promise I won't do anything you don't like again! Please, give me a chance to make up for it.""Auntie, please---""Stacy and I are watching a movie downstairs, you're so loud! The strength of your mouth reaches as far as the chin!" I heard Aunt Gretchen shout as she seemed to be approaching my room."Auntie, please. Get me out of here. I promise I won't be a stubborn anymore. I'll do whatever you want and

"Now where will I get money?" That's what I asked myself before sitting on a bench I saw in the park.I want to earn money but I hope I don't have to work anymore. I mean, I'll only do it for one day but I'll have money right away. Is there such a thing?"I never expected I'll see you here."I turned to the man next to me who was just sitting next to me... He was Alec."Oh, hi!" I greeted him.He flashed a smile at me, revealing his deep dimple in the left side. "I was working nearby, I often come here during our break time.""You? Why did you come here?" he asked."Ahh, I just went to see someone.""It was not my intention to overhear what you mumbled earlier..." he said. "You are seeking money, aren't you?"I immediately looked away with shame. It was embarrassing and he even heard that, I couldn't look at him."I can lend it to you if you want---"I shook my head violently. "No thanks, Alec. As much as possible, I don't want to owe any of you because I don't want you to think that
