Way too sinful.” I muttered to myself weakly here in the bathroom. My face was burning red from a mix of nerves, giddiness, irritation, and embarrassment. I really hope no one saw Jasper’s indecency. As soon as the meeting ended, I rushed to the bathroom. I needed to change my underwear. Good thing I always carry an extra. Looks like I’ll need to start bringing more from now on. What a day! “You okay, friend? You look all restless—do you need to poop?” Lovebel asked while brushing her hair, sounding completely ridiculous. Restless equals pooping? “Idiot! I don’t need to poop. I’m fine.” “If you say so.” she shrugged, applying lipstick. “Wow, our CEO is so handsome! I hope he at least notices me.” “Right? We’ve been here at RJAZTC for years and only now found out the CEO’s young—and not just that, he’s insa

Compared to the pain I went through before, this is nothing.“I love you, hon. I still love you despite all these pains. I still want to be with you—even in secret. I can endure all of this, just don’t leave me again. I won’t survive it anymore. Don’t be sorry. I understand, it’s all my fault.”I was just reading his message, but I could feel the weight in his words.Is what I’m doing still right? Should I even be doing this?I didn’t reply to Jasper’s last message. If I did, the conversation would drag on—and we both had work to do, especially him.Now my problem is how to get out of th

BMOM ➭ 035ꕤꕤꕤARYM ZCHRYNNE “MaiMai” –I called Jasper to pick me up. He answered in less than a second—talk about eager. Not obvious at all that he was waiting.“Hello, hon?” He quickly answered. “Hello, hon. Can you pick me up outside the building?”“Thank God! Thank you, hon. I thought you wouldn’t say yes. Anyway, I’ve been out here for a while now.”Wow. Your man’s got initiative.“Wow! I’m speechless at how prompt you are. I’ll just get dressed.”“If it’s you, I’m always impatient. Just don’t hang up, hon.”“Okay, Mr. Sweet Talker.”While getting dressed, I thought of something mischievous. What if I moaned? Hehe.“Ahh..!” “Uhm..!”“Hon? Are you okay? What’s happening there?” Jasper asked, clearly worried. I was trying so hard not to laugh.“Ugh! Ahmmm….”“Hon!!! Get it together! I swear I’ll come into your unit! I don’t care if your boyfriend catches us.” What a chaotic man to bond with.“So gooood!”“Hon!!!” I heard a car door open and slam shut.I burst out laughing at my

BMOM ➭ 037ꕤꕤꕤARYM ZCHRYNNE “MaiMai” –The next day, Jasper and I arrived early, but I didn’t let him drop me off right in front of the building. Even though he didn’t like it, I insisted he let me off near a coffee shop instead. I was trying to avoid being seen with him. I didn’t want to be the subject of gossip. Most people knew I was in a relationship with Sven, so if they saw me getting out of the CEO’s car, it would be a scandal.People like the gossipers think differently—and they’re impossible to explain things to. They only believe what they want to believe. So if you say 1 + 1 equals 2, they won’t buy it. If they want the answer to be 3, then 3 is the only truth.How do I know?Because I’m one of them. A proud member of the club. Charr!Jasper couldn’t do anything about it, so he let me walk ahead into the company while his car slowly followed behind me.Total bodyguard mode.When I got inside, I bumped into Architect Lopez. I wasn’t uncomfortable around him anymore—his ga

BMOM ➭ 039ꕤꕤꕤARYM ZCHRYNNE “MaiMai” –Jasper’s breathing had deepened—he was clearly asleep.I adjusted his blanket with one hand. He was gripping my other hand tightly, and I didn’t want to pull away too quickly and wake him.A few minutes later, my phone rang. When I checked, it was Sven calling.I bit my lip—I’d forgotten I still had work to do for him.“Hello?” I whispered, glancing at Jasper to make sure he didn’t wake up.“Where are you? Architect Lopez said you’re already here.”“I just stepped out for a bit. I’m heading back now. Have you had coffee?”“Not yet. That’s why I’m looking for you. You know I only like it when you make it.”“Alright, I’m on my way. Bye.”I ended the call and gently pulled my hand from Jasper’s grip. Thankfully, I managed without waking him. I’d try to come back later. Jasper never eats alone, especially when he’s sick. I still needed to take care of him—just like I do with our daughter, Zanyca.When I got back to Sven’s office, he was standing w
