CASA ROMA Chapter 15: Guest
The moment Serene opened her eyes, she knew it will be the start of the real struggle. It's the day she has to face her boss, the same person she asked to sleep with her. It was embarrassing to even think of it. It's already 6 in the morning. She heard Darrem's arrival yesterday night but she pretends to be asleep. She cannot hide anymore unless she wants to be kicked out without a pay. Serene left her bed to shower. After showering for 15 minutes because she literally wanted to scrub her whole body and drown herself in the shower just to forget everything, she's done, all fresh and smelled like shampoo. She combed her hair and tied it into a bun. She's going to face her Darrem like before. She has to be professional. Her boss doesn't even recognize her so she has to stay relax. Serene just need to act normal in front of him and do her usual routine. “This isn't going to work,” she whispered to herself. “Everything is just so cr—”Serene almost jump to her feet, when the door of her
CASA ROMA Chapter 16: His Wrath
Darrem's guest had already left the mansion. He was calling his maid for a couple of times now but he hasn't receive a response. Darrem poured the last drop of wine on his glass and decided to call Maricar. “Where's Serene? I've been calling her but she isn't picking up.” Darrem is just trying to maintain his calm. One thing he hates the most is when his worker is out of reach, especially if he really need them at the moment. Maricar couldn't think of a proper answer to his boss. She couldn't even understand what Serene just say earlier. “I-I think she is in her room. Do you want me to check her in her room?” Darrem combed his hair using his fingers. He does that everytime he feels frustrated. “Not just check her. Ask her to climb upstairs. She owe me an explanation.” Maricar pulled the phone away from her ears because of the sudden rise on his voice. She can tell that he was so upset right now. “Darrem could you please relax? I'm going to talk to her. Maybe she was just emotional
CASA ROMA Chapter 17: S & S
One week had passed and she barely see her boss. It is because Darrem has business meetings out of the island for days. It was a relief that she doesn't need to face Darrem because what happened between is still fresh in Serene's mind. She talked it out with Bailey, and her friend only tapped her shoulder and said, “You are jumping to conclusion. Pathetic. Overthinker. Serene, I'm telling you don't lose this chance. You shouldn't waste your life waiting for a poor guy to marry you, when you have a billionaire wanting you by himself.”Even though Serene had already explained to Bailey that there's nothing like that, that he was just a man who wants a woman, and not seriously going on between she would still tease her. “He is coming back today. He was a bit busy and I'm kinda thankful. I don't need to avoid him for a week. I can't still forget how mad he was that time. He was scary.” They are talking on the phone again. Bailey is cleaning the stock room, but since she's alone, she had
CASA ROMA Chapter 18: S & S 2
“You took so long. Did you find the comfort room?” Darrem started his lunch while Sydney is away. They don't have to do formalities because they are friends for quite some time now. “Yes, anyway, if you allow me, I wanted some help from your maid. You had two other maids here, so I was thinking if you can lend me your youngest maid just for several days. I'll pay her.” Darrem glanced at Sydney. He don't believe that Sydney will treat her right. Rich people just don't equally treat their workers right. “I'm sorry, but I also need her here. Edna has an available hotelkeeper in the Casa. I'll ask her to lend you one, or if you want you can take Josie with you.” Sydney suspiciously eyed him. “I want her. She's the one I want to work with, but if you are worried, you can ask her if she wanted to work for me for few days. I'll value her opinion.”Darrem sighed. He can't win a conversation with Sydney Jacobson. “Fine.” Sydney smirked as if tasting a pure victory. ............Sydney wo
CASA ROMA Chapter 19: Some Secrets Can't be Secret Forever
The photoshoot started at late 9:00 AM. Serene has to borrow a much formal and decent clothes from Sydney. Her friend didn't allow her to go on with the uniform. Serene was holding the umbrella for Sydney. Sydney's yellow bikini is highlighting her flawless skin and sexy figure.The photoshoot was all set now, and Sydney was checking the photos taken earlier. The sun wasn't slowing down. The sky was so clear, that no clouds could block it. “It's so hot. I'm sweating.” Sydney sat on the folding chair and took her cold drinks. Serene just sat next behind her, putting down the umbrella. “I agree. How more outfits you'll try on?” “Five more. Can you get me some drinks better than this milk tea? Do they have coconut juice here? Or a fruit shake? This one taste so plain.” Sydney's best hobby was to complain and Serene was aware of that. “They have variety of drinks like that here. I'll be quick and order it later, once you shoot your second outfit, was that the white summer dress?” Ser
CASA ROMA Chapter 20: The Trip
It was a blessing that the whether was good that night. The two was dropped by the chopper at 8:00 PM, and drove to the hotel after. Darrem usually travel with Brixel but he cannot travel with him today, because his parents had been hunting him. His parents was really serious about the arrange marriage between Brixel and Serene's sister. Darrem glanced at Serene who sit beside him.“Don't you talk with any of your family? Vanna never reached you out?” It seems like Serene has no idea about most of the Almirez’ whereabouts. Serene looked his way. She didn't expect that Darrem would open up this conversation. She was truly uncomfortable talking about that family she disowned and who disowned her as well. “I cut ties with them years ago. They doesn't know my contact that's why,” she answered. She wasn't curious about her father's family anyway. It was true that Vanna was good to her and is a good sister, but the day she left, she promised herself that she would never to involve herse
CASA ROMA Chapter 21: Unexpected Encounter
The meeting was scheduled at 9:00 AM in the Vista Building. It was located not so far from the hotel they are staying. Serene woke up early to make breakfast, yes she do home cook for the day. It was not that she don't prefer the food in the hotel but her stomach wants a more specific food with her own recipe. She's not into foods made in other's kitchen, unless it is cooked by Maricar. “You are awake. I did a quick grocery earlier to make breakfast, Sir. I think it would be better if I cook, so I hope you'll like it.” Darrem just woke up, of course to brush his teeth and comb his healthy hair. That is his morning routine. He dried his hand using a clean towel and nodded. “Thanks. You are using the pocket money I gave to you in your bank account right?” Serene nodded. Darrem gives $100 dollars pocket cash for all his workers. It is for errands like this. He doesn't want to be asked for money when they are in travel or work. He doesn't also want his workers to pay for the expenses d
CASA ROMA Chapter 22: Instant Wife
As soon the two arrived at the hotel, Serene confronted Darrem. She wants to ask him about what he said earlier to her sister while they are in the car but she chose to ask him privately.“What did you just say to Vanna?” She wanted to hear his explanation, if he was joking around or he was serious, whatever it is this will lead to disaster. Darrem loosened his tie for a bit and surrendered his hands in the air. “Relax, Serene. Don't yell at me. Remember I'm the one paying you.” Serene frustratedly sighed. She sat on the sofa with her head down. She cannot imagine the scenarios tomorrow. She'll be meeting her dad and stepmother. Vanna seems convinced about Darrem's lie and this mess up everything.Darrem has no regrets about everything. He is not going to take his words back. Let Vanna think what he wants to think. “You are going to show up as my fiancé tomorrow, and from now on, you are not going to be my maid nor a hotel keeper, or a secretary. I'll be paying you to be my fiancé,
