Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Boss Loves Me: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

"What are you looking at?" Lana's question made me turn to her. She followed my gaze towards the door of the restaurant."It is nothing." I smiled at het.I know the possibility of meeting him in Manhattan. It's just that seeing his head on like this, even though we're quite far apart, still makes my heart beat wildly.The last time I saw him was 3 months ago in San Francisco. Of course I was very surprised because I didn't think He would come back after our last meeting one year ago at the hospital. Then I remembered that Nicholas Shaw also had acquaintances in that town.At that time I forced myself not to look at him because of my surprise. We only passed each other for a few seconds but I could feel his intense gaze on me whereas I could only see his back as he turned around.Now, seeing him again in this place in person made my throat constrict. Nicholas Shaw still looked as handsome as I could remember. He wore a blue striped suit and a white shirt. This time I couldn't take my

My heart started pounding really hard inside my chest "Mr. Shaw?" My voice trembled slightly when I called him. But no answer from him."Mr. Shaw?" I repeated frantically. My feet walked aimlessly in the darkness, bumping into something several times."Nic-Nicholas?"Something touched my shoulder suddenly making me scream as I jumped backwards, one of the heels of my shoe hit something that made me almost fall. But a pair of arms grabbed my waist and pulled me into a very familiar embrace."Sshhh ... It's me." His soothing voice rang next to my ear. My heart was still pounding hard in my chest, without realizing it my hands tightly hugged him back."I thought you were-""Sshhh." He hugged me tighter, the smell of his perfume mixed with his signature smell made me a little calmer. He is here, not that man."Forgive me." He muttered while stroking my back to calm me down. We stood in that position for a few minutes until he finally released me. I'm a little grateful that it's dark, at l

"Go?" I repeated a little in disbelief. He asked me to leave?'Or stay with me. Whatever you choose you can't do it halfway. If you decide to leave, I will make sure we never meet again. But if you decide to stay ... " his voice turned deeper, "There is no turning back." for you."You are mine."My heart pounded harder when I heard his last sentence. He sounded really serious when he said that. "What will happen if I stay?" I asked."You are mine." He repeated with a slightly cold intonation. "I will hunt that woman, and will not rest until I have killed her.""You-killed her?""I will kill all who threaten what is mine, Eleanor." he answered seriously. "And if you become mine, I will never let you go again even if you beg me." he said before walking towards the door "I'll give you a week."His voice still rings in my head even after he left the room. I understand the reason behind his cold attitude towards me. He didn't want to influence my decision, or rather ... He didn't want me t

San Francisco has never looked this gloomy before. Or rather, my mood had never been this gloomy before. For the umpteenth time I sighed as I looked out my office window. Being an assistant manager gives me several advantages, one of which is having a private office. Even though it's very small, it's better than sharing a narrow cubicle with other employees.Today is exactly one week after I met Nicholas. Today I should give my answer. I couldn't close my eyes all night and this morning the job Mr. LeBlanc took most of my mind off Nicholas. At least tonight I should call him to tell him my answer. But until now I don't know what to tell him.I can't ask Lana for directions. Lana seemed to be in as much pain as I was, after we got back from Manhattan Lana always changed the subject if I mentioned Gregory Shaw. So far Gregory has not shown his nose again. I didn't know whether to be relieved that he wasn't in contact with Lana anymore, or angry that he made Lana sad. What is clear, this

I was too tired to walk home today so I took a taxi. What I need the most right now is a glass of warm milk and my bed. I paid for my taxi when it stopped in front of my apartment building and then went inside. Lana should have gone home, maybe she's watching TV with Greg right now. Reaching into my bag for my keys while yawning, I heard a faint laugh from inside the apartment. I closed the apartment door and walked towards the source of the sound in the kitchen.They were sitting at the dining table chatting. Lana, Greg ... and Nick. He turned around when he heard me enter and smiled at me. Nick was wearing a light blue shirt, no tie and no jacket. Her eyes looked at me warmly. "Eleanor."I didn't smile back, I hid the surprise from my face and took the remaining seat next to him. Lana didn't cook tonight, she and Greg ordered chinese food which is now half gone on the table."Hey, there's dimsum! Thanks, Lana. I'm really hungry." I smiled at Lana who was laughing. Greg looked at the
