All Chapters of Playing With My Boss (ENGLISH): Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I prepared myself for work. Madrid and Matthew had already left, and Charlie was at the hospital to watch over Mama.“Mathia, how’s your mom?” Aileen asked as she arrived. We were both in the locker area.“She’s okay. The doctor will check her today to see if she has a fracture. If she does, that’ll surely mean another expense,” I told her and let out a deep breath. “Honestly, I don’t even know where I can ask for help,” I added.“Have you tried asking ma’am Carreon?” she suggested.“No. It’s embarrassing,” I replied before we headed to the timekeeper and clocked in. After that, we prepared everything we needed.We didn’t get to talk much anymore because work had started. We began taking orders and serving the arriving customers.In the middle of working, I couldn’t stop thinking about the bills. Matthew and I had no one else to ask for help unless we chose to speak up.I didn’t expect that while serving a customer’s order, my hand would lose balance, causing the juice I was carrying

“I won’t listen,” I replied, chin held high. “The past is the past, Mr. Luzevia. I’m here to work, not to revisit it. Open this door and let me return to my duties,” I added firmly.“I need your answer first. Will you accept my offer, or will you remain here with me until later?” he asked.“Fine. I accept. Now open the door,” I answered.A faint smile curved on his lips before he unlocked the office door, allowing me to step out.I returned to work. Although my mind was still in turmoil over what had happened, I forced myself to set it aside. I was here for my job and not for Draken.I ignored him even though I could feel his occasional glances in my direction. Instead, I focused on the customers, refusing to let the thought that he was my employer now distract me.When I clocked out, I immediately flagged down a jeepney. I needed to go home first to change before heading to the hospital.After several minutes of travel, I finally arrived. I found Madrid and Charlie playing, though th

I felt like a fool just sitting on the couch, waiting for Draken to finish signing his documents. Did he really have nothing better to do? He made me stay, yet I wasn’t even doing anything.Was he afraid of being alone here? There was a guard outside, wasn’t there?“Why?” he suddenly asked. I realized my sharp stare had been fixed on him for quite some time.“Aren’t you done yet? I need to get back to the hospital. Matthew—and my m-my mother—must be looking for me,” I said irritably. I secretly clenched my hand, nearly slipping up.He must not find out that he has a child with me.“I’ll drive you,” Draken simply said.“NO.”My voice echoed through the office, causing him to pause mid-signature. “Y-You don’t need to drive me. I can manage on my own,” I added quickly.He didn’t respond and continued signing the papers as if nothing had happened.So annoying. When would he ever finish?“How’s your mother?”I was caught off guard by the sudden shift in topic.“Why do you care about my mot

We were all silent inside the office while ma’am Sofia scolded Lovely and her group. Because of what happened, ma’am Sofia told the three of us to go home, but half of the work hours that Lovely and her group were supposed to complete today would be credited to us as their punishment.“Do we understand each other?” ma’am Sofia asked. Lovely and the others answered, though they couldn’t even look at her straight. “Trainees, you may go home now. Come back tomorrow,” ma’am Sofia said to us.“Yes, ma’am,” we replied before leaving the office. Aileen was about to stick her tongue out at Lovely, but I gently pushed her outside.Because of what happened, the three of us clocked out early. Aileen was still grumbling irritably while getting her things from the locker.“Aileen, just let it go. They’ve already been punished,” I said calmly.“No. If it were up to me, I would’ve punched their faces earlier. Good thing Von held me back, or I really would’ve done it,” Aileen said.“I didn’t hold you

“We’re here.”I woke up from my sleep when I heard Draken’s voice. I rolled my eyes at him before looking around at where we were.My amazement immediately kicked in when I realized we were inside a huge compound. We were parked in a wide parking area, and from there, I could already see a large and luxurious house along with a fountain standing proudly at the center of the compound.“T-That’s your house?” I asked in disbelief. I even stepped out of the car just to see the entire place more clearly.“Yes,” he replied briefly, watching me while I tried to process the fact that he owned a house like this.“Your mom and dad might be inside. I don’t want any trouble,” I said.“They’re not here. They’re in the States. I’m the only one living here,” he answered.Relief washed over me. At least his parents weren’t here. I didn’t even know what kind of face I could show them if they decided to look down on me again.I simply followed Draken as we entered the house. Several housemaids were bus
