All Chapters of Playing With My Boss (ENGLISH): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I am currently taking the order of a couple. I think they are already in their forty's. They look sweet together because the man constantly considers his wife in everything she wants to order.“That’s all,” he said to me after they finished stating their orders. I wrote everything down on the small note I was carrying.“Okay, ma’am and sir. Please be patient, it will be served after fifteen minutes. Thank you,” I said to them before leaving. I brought the list of their orders to the kitchen so the staff in the kitchen area could start preparing them.I took a bowl of hot soup for the appetizer and two glasses of moderately cold water to serve to the couple.Actually, I’m still nervous. It’s only my second day, so I guess that’s valid? But I didn’t let that feeling take over because I might lose my focus during the training.I noticed Aileen and Von as well, doing their best to perform their tasks properly. It makes me happy because, at least, I’ve gained new acquaintances. I suddenly

Madrid and I went downstairs after talking things through between the two of us. We found Mom sitting in the living room.“Where’s Matthew, Mom?” I asked.“He’s in his room. I left him there for a while,” she answered before letting out a deep breath. “I was right, your brother really has a problem,” she added.“Why? What happened?” I asked curiously as I sat beside her.“Your brother got rejected by the woman he’s courting at work. Apparently, he’s been courting her for almost three months already, but nothing came out of it. I advised him. I told him that not everything can be handled with anger. That’s why Madrid got dragged into it,” Mom explained. “Come here, grandson. How are you? Please forgive your Uncle Matthew, okay?” she said to my child.“I’m not mad at him, grandma. I just cried because I miss Papa whenever he’s mentioned. Mama already explained everything to me,” my child replied. Mom even looked at me to make sure, so I smiled and nodded in response.“I know you’re a sm

“Not even a single chance? You didn’t see anything in Charlie?” Mom asked again.“Even if he’s kind, attentive, thoughtful, handsome, and well-off, there’s still nothing. I really can’t see myself with him for life,” I answered.“Why? Don’t tell me you still love your former boyfriend?” Mom asked. My forehead creased at that.“No, Mom. Why would I still love that person? He left us,” I replied. “I just don’t want to... for now.”“Sigh, my child. Why don’t you let Charlie enter your heart? It’s fear that keeps it closed. How will you know if he’s the one for you or not if you won’t give him a chance?” Mom asked.I remained silent as she let out a deep sigh.“You know what? There’s something I haven’t told you and Matthew yet. Did you know that your father and I weren’t really meant for each other?” she asked. Curious, I furrowed my brows.“How can you say that?” I asked.“When we were in high school, he liked my famous friend, Trina. She was rich and her family was well-known. Since sh

I left the house early and locked the door since neither Madrid nor Matthew was home. My brother took a leave from work to look after Mom and brought Madrid with him since he didn’t have school today.I was currently riding a tricycle on my way to Charlie’s house. The trip took more than ten minutes before I arrived. I found him watering the plants, so I knocked on the gate.“Mathia?” he asked, as if he couldn’t believe I was standing outside his house. He immediately opened the gate for me.“H-Hello. Uhmm... these are the things you were supposed to pick up. I delivered them myself so w-we could talk. I-If that’s okay?” I explained.“Come in. Go inside,” he invited, so I walked in. “I’ll take that,” he added as he carried the large box I was holding. He also opened the door for me so we could enter the house.He asked me to sit in the living room and served me hot chocolate and a sandwich before sitting beside me.“Uhmm... I really came early so we could talk. S-Sorry about that, Cha

It is Sunday today, and I am with my son, Madrid, watching over my mother. Nurses and doctors keep coming in to check on her. I have already sent a photo as proof to ma’am Sofia that I am at the hospital. According to her message on Viber, she will show it to our boss so my absence will be considered valid.“Mom, grandma will get better, right?” my son asked, breaking the silence between us.“Of course, my child. Why did you ask that? Grandma is doing just fine. We’re just waiting for her to wake up so her recovery can continue and we can finally go home,” I replied as I gently stroked his head.“I really miss grandma,” my son said softly. I hugged him and kissed the top of his head because I knew how sad he was about what happened to his grandmother. All of us were deeply worried about her.I turned my head when the door opened. I saw Karen arrive.“Hi,” my son greeted her. Karen waved back at him and smiled.“Karen, you came to visit? How did you know we were here at the hospital?”
