Wait! I’m confused. I didn’t expect her to say that.So that means… the file he asked me to find earlier wasn’t the one Paula accidentally deleted?Then what about the file I found earlier? Was it just nothing? Did it not matter at all?Was he messing with me? Or was he just trying to test my patience and see how far I’d go for this company of his?“Marriage Proposal?! Does that mean Sir Zach is getting married?” Maurice blurted out, clearly shocked.Paula quickly covered her mouth. She said it a little too loud—but thankfully, none of our other coworkers heard, since most of them were already starting to head out for lunch."Shh! Keep your voice down, someone from the other department might hear us. But I’m not even sure if that file was really for him,” Paula said.I stopped listening to their conversation after that. I was still stuck thinking about the file he had me look for earlier.I still couldn’t wrap my head around it.Why would my boss do that? Why would he lie about a file

I lay down on the table after finishing what my supervisor asked me to do. It was perfect timing, just before lunch. I didn’t want to rush eating, especially when there are tasks on my mind that need to be finished before the deadline. Now that I’ve completed it, I won’t have to think about anything while eating.Two days have passed, and I’m still doing the same tasks at work. Preparing reports, organizing the computer network, retrieving deleted files, and so on. It’s tiring, but I’ll manage because of the job I’m holding on to—and for my family.It’s been two days since I last saw Sir Zach, ever since we got stuck in the elevator. He’s probably just busy with work. Maurice told me earlier that a lot of investors, media, and business associates arrived yesterday. He’s also called several meetings with the finance and marketing departments since this morning.I’m actually relieved he’s been busy, so I don’t have to see or talk to him, because I’m still scared of him. I don’t know why

Why did he suddenly ask that? And how did he know? I hadn’t said anything to Dr. Matteo for him to ask me something like that.Could it be that Dr. Matteo noticed I was scared?"Sir—""N-Nevermind, just go now and take some rest," he said, turning away. "I'll just tell my secretary to bring the food to your office," he added, walking back to his desk.I didn’t answer, just turned around and left his office.Once I had escorted Dr. Matteo to the ground floor, I headed back to my department and resumed the work I had left behind. The food Sir Zach ordered had arrived in the office, and there was enough for all of us."What's going on? Why did Sir Zach send food to the office?" Maurice asked, confused. Paula just shrugged because she didn’t know the answer."Maybe he's in a good mood, so he decided to give us food," Paula replied.We were all in the restroom, getting ourselves ready since it was almost time to go home. They didn’t know about what happened earlier because I didn’t tell th

I suddenly faced Sir Zach, who was now looking at me, but I couldn’t see any emotion on his face. My heart was gripped with anxiety when he glanced at Aaron, who was also looking at him now.I quickly grabbed Aaron by the arm and pulled him behind me before he could notice how much they looked alike.“S-Sir Zach, I didn’t realize you were there,” I stammered nervously. “W-We won’t be staying long, I still have some things to take care of at home and—”“But your son still wants to play with his friends,” he cut me off. I fell silent and looked at Aaron, who was now frowning as he stared at Sir Zach.Dear God! He’s starting to notice something, and I’m sure later he’ll have a lot to say or ask me."Mommy, who is he?" Aaron asked curiously as he walked over to my side and held onto my arm. But his eyes remained fixed on Sir Zach."Umm... sweetheart, he’s my boss—""Your grumpy boss, Mommy?" he cut me off, turning his gaze away from Sir Zach.They really are father and son—always interrup

I let out a deep sigh as I once again thought about what happened yesterday — my meeting with Sir Lim and the things we talked about that left me with so many questions.I'm still wondering, still confused about what he said. I still can't believe what he told me about Zachariah — that he suddenly stopped showing up to him.Why? Why did he suddenly disappear?I know I shouldn’t be thinking about it anymore, but... I want to understand why it happened. But how could I find out when even now, I'm still too scared and unwilling to tell him about what happened between us in the past and about our child?"Tsk! Stop thinking about it, Athena. Just stop," I suddenly told myself as I threw myself back against the chair.I'm already here at the office, working on the task assigned to me by Miss Lina, my supervisor. It's not really that difficult since it’s just about the new software for our department. But I still haven’t finished it because I kept thinking about the conversation I had with S
