"Are you busy?"Jerrald looked up from the file he was studying when he heard a voice coming from the door of his room that had just opened."Uncle?" Jerrald immediately got up from his seat when he realized who was coming, and walked over to the person he called 'Uncle'."What are you doing here?" asked Jerrald after reaching the man who was the same age as his Pah-dreh."You don't like Uncle visiting you?" the middle-aged man asked.Jerrald's eyes widened. He quickly shook his head. "It's not like that, Uncle. It's just that it's been a while since you've been here. I'm a little surprised.""Uncle and Noe were attending a seminar nearby. So I thought it wouldn't hurt if I stopped by for a while.""Is that so? Have a seat, Uncle." Jerrald led his uncle to the sofa in this room."How are you, son?" he asked once they were both seated on the sofa and facing each other."I'm fine. What about Uncle?""You can see for yourself that your uncle is doing well, son.""You didn't ask how I was

"Why are you silent? Is my voice not clear enough, Eloy Damario?" asked Jerrald again when he found his secretary turned into a statue.Jerrald's jaw was still set. Even his hands were clenched into tight fists.Eloy swallowed saliva again with difficulty. Cold sweat ran down his back. Swearing by everything, Eloy preferred his boss's usual expression, flat and unreadable, rather than what it was now. That was not the Jerrald he knew all this time."Are you guys that close that you call her that familiarly?" Jerrald folded his arms across his chest this time while glancing at the maid who looked confused. Jerrald did use his language, not wanting the maid to know what he had said to Eloy.The atmosphere returned to silence. Eloy was still unable to make a sound. He was not an innocent man who did not know that his boss seemed to have a crush on this adorable woman beside him.Eloy had been in several relationships and knew what jealousy felt like."Don't you realize you already have a

"I already suspected that the guy who saved me from the trolley that time was you. I know you so well!" Feli was proud of herself after Eric told her everything.It turned out that all this time, her daddy had been watching her through Eric. The man sitting tall in front of her had been in this country since Feli set foot here."Relax a little, Eric. The way you're sitting is making me sore." Feli snorted amusedly with her arms crossed.A few minutes ago, they had been inside an ice cream shop not far from the coffee shop where Feli had ordered coffee for her employer. Feli sat facing the outside of the shop, while Eric faced the cashier's desk not far in front of them."I'm sorry, Miss, but my job requires me to be on my guard at all times.""But you don't need to look so tense in front of me! You look like you're about to be executed. Do you think I'm going to eat you?!" exclaimed Feli fiercely."Sorry, Miss."Feli rolled her eyes lazily. "Stop apologizing all the time, Eric!"Eric

Feli failed to put the ice cream in her mouth when her cell phone rang. She glanced at the phone near the glass of ice cream she was about to enjoy.Her eyes squinted suspiciously at the rows of numbers on the screen. She tapped her fingers a few times on the pantry table of her employer’s apartment."Who called me? Was it Daddy?" Feli shook her head. "No way Daddy! I've saved Daddy's number in this crappy cell phone!"Feli stared lazily at the cell phone that had accompanied her since arriving in Spain to become a maid. Actually, it was still a pretty good phone for a maid, but it still couldn't replace the beloved high-end cell phone that she had to leave behind in her country for this damn mission.Feli continued to watch the cell phone. It had died several times, but the cell phone rang again, and the same number."Ugh! This is so annoying! Is Daddy using another number? But the code is not English."Feeling resentful, Feli chose to pick up the call because someone on the other s

"We've arrived, sir, and I can walk by myself—""Shut up."Feli snorted harshly. She finally gave in and let Jerrald take her by the fingers and enter the apartment lobby, very, very reluctantly, AGAIN!Feli's face looked agitated. She was afraid that her employer would hear her heart beating mischievously whenever she was around this man.Jerrald was acting more and more arbitrary, which strangely made Feli feel comfortable, but uncomfortable at the same time.For the past few days, Jerrald had not let Feli walk alone without being led. Feli felt like she was walking with her daddy, but this was different. This was Jerrald, not her daddy. The man walking beside her was the man who had taken away her f
