Semua Bab To Love My Boss: Bab 101 - Bab 110

MARISSA’S POV“Are you really sure about talking to him?” Brylle asked as he hid my view of Diego who was sitting on the couch in the living room.I sighed while I was crossing my arms. “He wanted to see and know about our daughter,” I said. “What should I do? Deny? He already knew before he could even reach here.”“But you vowed to yourself that you will never see him,” he said firmly and furrowed his eyebrows. “Don’t tell me that you still have feelings for him, Marissa.”I remembered how Diego kissed me a while ago, and I felt so guilty in front of Brylle. Ever since I left the Philippines, he was the one who comforted me together with Nica. They were both supportive of Lilith and I. So I know that he is just worried about me seeing Diego.I could not help but avoid my gaze. I saw from my peripheral vision that he nodded, as if he just confirmed something.“You still love him,” he reckoned.“I have been prepared for making Lilith meet her father,” I stated, meeting his gaze again.

Marissa’s POV“You’re late,” I pointed out when I saw Diego outside of the house. He just got out of his car. “Sorry,” he said, caressing his nape while busy looking around behind me. “Where is Lilith?”He did not even try to look at me properly. At least, appreciate my dress, makeup, and hair?But I did not let the disappointment linger over me. Instead, I cleared my throat and pointed to my car parked on the other side of the road. Lilith and Elisa were already inside the car after I went there to turn on the engine, so I can go to him next.“They are already ready,” I answered. “Anyway, you are not busy, right? You don’t have any meetings?”“Well, do you have any in your company?”“No.”“Then I don’t have any. I am only here because of you and Lilith. I invested in the company where you work just to see you,” he said without taking his eyes off me.Small ticklish atoms scattered inside my system, affecting my ability to compose myself because of what he said. The sun was behind hi

Marissa’s POVI tightly clenched the handle of the glass door of the coffee shop where I am supposed to go. I stared at it, doubting if I should go in or not. I closed my eyes and breathed in and out deeply.Marissa, you are already here. Do you think this is the right time to be nervous? You already called Zeana Tan and wasted her time to come here. To talk about why she was telling you that she is your mother. And the truth behind everything that still lingers everywhere but never been answered.In the end, I pushed the door and the bells rang inside the coffee shop. There were not a lot of people, I noticed. The scent of the variety of coffee kind filled my nostrils. For a moment, I checked if I smelled good and my coat dress was a good choice. It was Chanel and I even brought my Gucci bag. I wanted to look formal but not too impressive. Only subtle, because I would be talking to the most successful woman I have ever known.“I’ve got this…” I said to myself and heaved a sigh again.

Marissa’s POVI could not think clearly while working the next day. Even Ms. Desmon, my secretary, was worried that I could be sick. Mrs. Rivera was even kind to suggest that I should apply for a leave, but I did not. I wanted to get distracted from my mind by doing things at my job.“Coffee, Ms. Dela Cruz?”My eyes lifted to Ms. Desmon who placed a cup of coffee in front of me. I was currently sitting on my swivel chair while typing on my laptop, doing some Excel work. I smiled at her which she reciprocated.“Thanks, Ms. Desmon,” I said briefly. “You’re welcome, ma’am,” she replied and cleared her throat. “Anyway, ma’am, I have something to inform you.”Without minding what she will say, I took the cup of coffee that she offered and played with the rim of it using my index finger. When I did not reply and just made a small whirlpool on the coffee, she took a deep breath.“Mr. Diego Montero asked for your number, and I gave it to him since he said it’s for business purposes,” she rev

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
