Chapter 14We are okay now, at least I know we are on good terms. My office mates asked me why I did not go with them for lunch. I just made an excuse that I don't feel like eating today. They just shrugged it off and I think they believe it. I finished some work today and I plan to go go to the bookstore today. I don't think I have to tell Canon about it, or should I? Fine, I'm going to tell him about it. I clean my table and decided to leave the office and went to Canon's. I knock on his door and I saw him still working, he was talking to someone on the phone. He look so stress and he did not even pay me attention. "I told you to check the items before shipping them, and you did not do your job so this happened. You're fired." He ended the call and he looks so furious right now. "What happened?" I asked. He looked at me and I feel like I'll melt from where I'm standing right now. He massages his head as if he's trying to ease his stress. "There are just some issues with the pr

Chapter 15I woke up feeling a lot better compared to last night. I was so sick that I can't think properly. I moved a little and I felt someone's arms wrapped around my waist. It's so heavy. Oh my god, what is he doing here? Did he take care of me the whole night? I don't know what to feel right now. I feel like my heart is beating so fast. He does care for me? I try to remove his arms around my waist but he just tightens it. Damn, how am I supposed to escape from him? I smiled to myself. It feels so good that he cares for me. I want to be by his side always, I don't want this moment to end yet. I was just staring at him the whole time but I felt him moving so I immediately close my eyes to pretend sleeping. I felt his hand touch my forehead maybe to check if I'm okay now. "You're not sick anymore." I can hear what he just said. I tried pretending to sleep so it wouldn't be awkward between us. I can feel him caressing my hair. Gosh, it feels so good. He left the room and I ope

Chapter 16I was too stunned when I saw him arrive so early. I thought he will be home by midnight. "Why are you home so early?" I asked and just went near me and gave me the pizza I was asking for earlier in the call. "You said you wanted the pizza." He said and I feel like melting at that moment. I don't know how to react. I perceived him as someone who I will not get along with. But now, I feel like I'm getting closer to him. "Thank you, but you don't have to do it," I said and he just went to his room. He's acting so cold and yet he has a warm heart. I wonder what happened to him that makes him act colder and too serious. I wait for him to come down to eat this pizza with him. He went downstairs after a few minutes and he was confused when he saw that I did not open the pizza yet. "Let's eat together," I said, he refused to do so but I just keep asking him to eat with me since I couldn't finish it. He finally agrees and we eat together. He also watched the Korean drama I was

Chapter 17We left the restaurant and we get into the car. Both of us were just silent the whole ride. I don't feel like talking. I know the terms before I even enter this contract but I can't help to feel sad and hurt at the same time. I guess I have to put boundaries and don't expect anything from him. That's the right thing to do. I can feel him staring at me. I chose to ignore him and just close my eyes, pretending to sleep. I can feel that we arrived at our house but I did not open my eyes. I thought he was going to wake me up but I was shocked when he carried me. Damn, I don't know how to react. "Please read her bed." He commanded the maids. I can feel his heartbeat near mine. I wish it is beating for me. He was just carrying me to my room, he put me in bed and removed my heels. I thought he was living but I felt a cotton rubbing my face. Is he removing my makeup? My heart is beating so fast. How can I not fall for him if he's acting this way? He seems to care for me when I

Chapter 18I decided to pack my things the next day. I also told my parents that I have to go back to my work. I kind of miss Canon, I want to surprise him. He expects me to arrive after a week but I will be home now. "Call us when you reached your work." My father said. I nodded and hug them both. I will miss them. I bid my goodbye and asked our driver to pick me up but I told him not to inform Canon about it. I was on the way home when I decided to buy some groceries to cook something for Canon. I will cook spaghetti and lumpiang Shanghai today. It is a very Filipino dish so I want him to taste it. After I bought some groceries, I went back to the car. I reached home and the maids helped me carry my stuff. They don't expect me to arrive today so they were really surprised. I asked them to help me read the ingredients. They want to help me cook but I want to do it for Canon. I was happy while cooking. I have never done it to Canon before so I hope he likes what I'm going to cook

Chapter 19We dance that night and he chuckled when I do the goofy dance in front of him. He looks so stunning under the dim lights. I wish we could stay like this forever. I do not worry about everything else. I do not worry about Jean and Elvis looking at us. They are too drunk to notice that we have something. I wish we have something in between us. However, life is not that fair. We have to accept what's written in our fate. I grabbed Canon at our table and Jean was shocked. Her eyes widen that our boss is here with us. Canon also let me go since he knew I do not want them to know about us. Especially, that something between us will end in two years or less. They greeted Canon and gave him a drink. They talk about life but they still feel awkward around Canon. Who would not be if he is this intimidating? We bid our goodbyes when it is late at night, we have to rest too. It's Saturday tomorrow so we can rest for tonight and we don't have to wake up early. We arrived home, I w

Chapter 20We went to the grocery store to buy some groceries and ingredients for my baking. He came with me and I still remember how he compliments me today. I always blush whenever I think about it. He's just wearing basic clothes today and he looks so dashing. Some of the women here can't avoid his presence, they all look at him. He always catches everyone's attention. We pick up some groceries and he just follows me while pushing the cart. We look like a real couple. I sighed and just ignore my delusions. I was shocked when an old lady came near us. She was staring at us intently. "Are you a married couple? You look great together. I hope your love for each other will grow stronger." The lady told us. I can't seem to respond since we are not a real married couple. I heard Canon just vow his head in respect to the lady. I felt awkward when the lady left us. "See? We look good together." He boastfully said. I just rolled my eyes on him. He laughed when he saw my reaction. We

Chapter 21I went downstairs after I took a shower and made myself look decent when I am about to meet Canon's Mom. I saw them in the living room talking about something. I sit in front of them but Canon tapped the seat beside him, I saw how his Mom looked at us. I went beside him and I was just silent. "Good afternoon, Ma'am. I'm very sorry that you saw that situation earlier." I apologize to her. She just nodded in response. I am so intimidated by her. "Son, why you did not mention you getting married?" His Mom said. I was just listening to them. I can't interfere. "I'm a grown man, I can't decide for myself. We want to keep our relationship private for now. The media might target her when they discovered about my marriage." Canon said. I just nodded as a response that I agree with him. I caught his mom's attention and I instantly stop myself from nodding. Gosh, this is the worst. I feel like his Mom will never accept me as his son. Well, it's not my problem anymore. I have to
