Semua Bab Babysitting my Boss (English Version): Bab 21 - Bab 30

The night was unusually quiet for Lukas.After dropping his secretary home, he found himself driving around the city without a clear direction. He didn’t really want to go back to his empty condo yet. His thoughts had been too loud lately — work, endless calls, and Shaina’s voice that still echoed in his head.What the heck was happening to him?He needed a distraction — maybe a can of beer.That’s how he ended up at his favorite bar, the one owned by his close friend. It was a famous place, but not the noisy type. Soft jazz played in the background, calm enough not to give you a headache.As soon as he walked in, he spotted his friends Marco and Daniel sitting in their usual spot — the one near the crowd of girls.“Vergara!” Marco called, raising his glass. He was the bar owner and had always loved drinks, so it wasn’t a surprise that he turned it into a business. “We thought you wouldn’t show up again. Too busy with your empire, huh?”Lukas sat down, took off his coat, loosened his

The office was quiet when her boss returned from the meeting. He went alone and did not let her come with him, which already made her curious. Now, his behavior was even stranger. Since he arrived, he did not answer any of her comments, which was very unusual.Shaina followed him with her eyes as he walked quickly into his office. He held a thick folder in his left hand and his phone in the right. He did not raise his voice or give orders like he usually did. He did not even ask questions. He walked in silently, as if he was alone in the office.She frowned.What is going on with my boss?She felt the heavy change in his presence. Even when he was angry, there was always a rhythm to him—one look, one command, then work followed. But today was different. He was not angry. He was not happy either. He felt… off.When he passed her desk, she gently handed him the papers he asked for earlier. He did not look at her. He kept walking to his desk, leaving her no choice but to follow.“Good af

The moment Shaina entered the office the next day, she felt like turning around, going back to bed, and filing for sick leave. She was so nervous her body felt strange like she needed to use the bathroom, but whenever she tried, nothing happened.It wasn’t because she felt sick. It was something else. In fact, she felt wide awake. She could probably count from one to one million without stopping. But the tight feeling in her chest was different, especially when she remembered what happened the night before. She didn’t think she could face her boss today.Just yesterday, they were eating at the same table with Regine and RJ. Worse, RJ would not stop teasing them. And now here she was again, about to face a man who felt like he had two sides, one cold executive at the office, and another man who could smile and sit comfortably with her family. He was completely different when he was with those two. He didn’t hide his smiles. Or maybe that was just who he was—strict at work, warm in priv

When Shaina entered her room that night, she did not know what to do. She did not know if she should sit, lie down, or stand. The words Lukas said kept repeating in her mind. She could not believe he asked her that question. Who was she for him to court her? She was just a simple secretary. She was not even very pretty compared to the women around him.She stared at nothing again as his question played in her head. She did not answer him. She just went inside the boarding house and did not look back. She really did not know what to say. She did not expect it. That was why she had no answer.“Can I court you?”The words felt like an echo in her ears. No matter what she did, washing her face, changing clothes, putting on moisturizer, she felt like a robot doing things again and again. But her mind stayed on one thing. It stayed on his question.She lay on the bed and covered her face with a pillow.“My God, was that real? Maybe I just imagined it. Or maybe… maybe he was just joking?” sh

When morning came, Shaina almost did not know how to walk to the office. She felt like she was walking on air, like she was floating. It was not surprising because she stayed awake all night. She kept thinking about what her boss said before they parted last night.“I don’t give up easily.”Those words kept repeating in her mind, like an echo or a broken record. She felt annoyed with herself. Why was she nervous about those words? If she did not know better, she might think she was feeling excited. But no, she should not feel that way. He was her boss. Her boss! And she barely knew him. He had many secrets.She was already at her desk. Her laptop was open, but she had not written anything. She spun her pen with her fingers, trying to calm her heart. Her heart was beating very fast, like a drum.“Shai, calm down,” she told herself. “It’s nothing. He was just joking. He is probably used to getting what he wants, so he says things like that. Don’t take it seriously.”But no matter what s
