Semua Bab The Man Who Breaks My Heart (English ): Bab 21 - Bab 30

CHAPTER 21"Hey! Are you okay, Aubree? You've been staring blankly at your desk for a while now." Lorna's question brought me back to reality.I erased the bitter memories of yesterday, of love lost. Now, I will move on for my children."I'm fine, Lorna!""Are you sure? Let me see." I was about to turn away when she grabbed my face and placed her palm on my forehead, both front and back. "You're a bit warm. You should just go home early. You're probably done with filing the documents we'll submit to our next clients this weekend." She suggested."Is it okay? It's still 40 minutes before we clock out. But I think I need a little rest right now.""Oh, it's totally fine, you're just probably thinking about who our next boss will be... omg... it's next week already! Gosh! I'm so excited.""No, it's just that I have a lot on my mind, but not about the new boss," I replied."You know, I actually heard a rumor that our next CEO might already have a fiancée. Though it's not confirmed, it's ju

CHAPTER 23 "Are you going to work, Aubree? Are you feeling well? Your coworkers will understand if you can't go to work for now," my mother said. We were at the table eating breakfast together, and they were surprised to see me already dressed in our uniform. "That's right, Aubree! You might not be able to handle it!" My father said. "Are you leaving, mama? Are you okay?" Freya asked me, even though Maynard didn't ask, I knew he would ask the same thing and they were all looking at me worriedly. "Mama is okay, babies, but mama won't kiss you until I'm fully okay." I answered my children, I shifted my gaze to my parents who were now making their coffee. "I need to… Dad and Mom, maybe tomorrow when I get to the office, I won't have a job anymore." "Huh? Why? For what reason? Because you were absent? Well, you were sick, so that's a valid reason why you can't go to work yet." Dad was holding back his anger. I smiled at both of them. "Don't worry about me because I'll just show up at

CHAPTER 25I opened my eyes and was greeted by a white ceiling. I blinked repeatedly as the light blinded me."Aubree!" I turned my gaze to where Mom was. "Aubree! How are you feeling?" I checked myself to see if anything hurt or anything."Can I have some water, mama?" I asked instead to answer her question. She immediately went to the table where the water was and poured some into a glass. I lifted myself slightly to sit on the hospital bed."Here!" I took the water from my mother and drank immediately. After giving me the glass and putting it aside, she came to me, combed my hair and smiled."The doctor is coming to check on you again, are you not dizzy anymore? Or does your head hurt or what kind of pain are you feeling? I told you not to go to the office, but you're a stubborn kid, you can't handle it.""What happened, Ma?" I asked."Because of your high fever and over fatigue, you fainted earlier, so they immediately brought you here to the hospital." I got nervous because of wh

Chapter 27"Mama!""Hmm, yes baby Freya?" I brushed my daughter's hair. We were in the bedroom, resting. After church, the kids didn't want to go out, so we just had lunch at home. We got takeout."I love you, mama!""I love you too baby, but mama knows why you're like this, you don't want to sleep this afternoon, do you?" She giggled because I was right."Because mama, I want to go to Tita Chevi's house, she has a baby in her tummy, mama." She said. We have a new neighbor named Chevika, she's pregnant, so my daughter is excited to visit. "Then I want to play with ate Chareleene," she added. I continued brushing her hair with my fingers while we lay on the bed so she could at least take a nap. Maynard was already asleep in Mama's room, so I left him. He might wake up and not want to sleep again."Go to sleep first, baby. We'll visit your Tita Chevi later. Maybe Tita is resting now to make the baby strong." I said."Oh, that's why. Like me, mama. I have to sleep too so Freya and twin M

CHAPTER 29The phone was still pressed against my ear as I walked into the bar. The bartender had insisted that the boss, Sullivaño, was causing a scene. Apparently, he'd been arguing with someone earlier. He didn't want to go home, just wanted to drink.His problem. Was he not satisfied or was he left wanting more from his little romp with his woman earlier? Out of all the people he could call, he chose my number.I wondered how he got my number, but I figured it was because I was his secretary, so he saved it in his contacts. Still, he could have called any other woman, not me, who was about to go to sleep. So annoying.Luckily, Mama understood that I had a friend to pick up at the bar. She wasn't initially keen on the idea, but she eventually gave in to my pleading."Where is he?" I asked the bouncer, who the bartender had pointed out as someone who could direct me to where the boss was drinking."Just go to the left side, ma'am, near the bar counter. That's where the guy was earli
