The atmosphere between the two people inside the office was heavy as they converse about what happened yesterday at the company. Ramina, who was sitting comfortably in a chair, and Mrs. Fujimoto beside her were the ones talking.
It was their hiatus when Ramina came to Mrs. Fujimoto's office just what they talked to earlier. Ramina told her what happened without neglecting even a sole detail."I was at the cafeteria to order a lunch for Mr. Mattheios. While ordering, I noticed that our chef had changed. It was usually the old woman serving and cooking the foods, right?" Ramina uttered.Mrs. Fujimoto nodded. "Yes, it was Chef Amelia. She worked for our company for almost a decade now. She was out for work yesterday because her grandson got sick," she pinpointed."How did that woman even enter the company?" Ramina confusedly raises a question.Mrs. Fujimoto shook her head in a manner that showed how unhappy she was. "I don't know either.After that night, they became casual at work. Ramina could not deny the fact that something had changed with the way she usually sees him. For her, he is not just the CEO of their company because he is more than that when you get to know him better. Many people had misunderstood his actions. They see him as a ruthless man without a heart. But for her, he is not that kind of person. She defined him as a responsible man and not like a ruthless CEO. Ramina was seen in her office, sitting comfortably on a chair while facing her laptop on the desk. She has been busy for the past few days that she always forgot to check on her daughter. Good thing, Yaya Grace did not stop sending her updates about the deeds of her daughter.A moment after, a loud ring coming from the telephone filled the room. Ramina let out a sigh before bending over to get the telephone. "Hello, this is Ms. Montalvo speaking," she uttered. "Good day! I just want to set an appointment with Mr. Mattheios later at 9 AM.
"Where did I go wrong? I loved him with all my heart! I cared for him right! W-Why did he still abandon me? W-Why did he betray me?!" Ramina winced while being attentive to Nicole's rants about her boyfriend. Ramina knows that she's suffering an extreme heartbreak recalling that she loved her boyfriend so much. Watching her friend being like this because of a man made her furious for a reason. With a heavy heart and eyes filled with tears, Nicole crouched her head and sobbed. "Ramina, tell me... A-Am I not enough?" she weakly uttered.Maria Nicole and her ex-boyfriend had been in a relationship for almost two years. It was her longest relationship among the guys she dated before. She admit that she never saw this coming. Nicole believed that her boyfriend only love her and no one else. She stayed faithful to her partner regardless of what they had gone through in their lives. But she wasn't expecting him to do this in return for all the goodness she showed to him. He dated a girl...
Upon the realization, Ramina immediately stood up and greeted her boss. "H-Hello. I didn't know you were here," Ramina uttered. Ramina looked down when she felt her daughter pulling the hem of her shirt. "Mommy . . ." "Is that your daughter?" Percy asked. He wasn't surprised to know about that but there's something in him that somehow made him feel . . . disappointed.Ramina looked at him and smiled. "Ah, yes. This is Prescelle, my daughter," she said, gently pulling her daughter in front of her. "Prescelle, baby . . . Say 'hi' to Mr. Mattheios," Ramina whispered.Prescelle hid in between her mother's leg. "Mommy . . ." She pouted. Ramina let out an awkward chuckle. "Prescelle is a shy kid. I'm sorry," she said. Percy looked at her. "No, it's okay. I'm sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable. I just wanted to confirm if it was you because I want to say something," he seriously stated. Ramina looked at her daughter once again before looking back at him. "Yes, what is it?" Percy c
Biting her lip, Ramina didn't know what to do now because of embarrassment. She had been watching her daughter being carried by her boss since earlier. Until then, Ramina still could not believe what was happening. She didn’t expect it to be possible! The two just kept walking as she followed them from behind.Ramina swallowed her senses as she listened to her daughter's stories to her boss. She says a lot about her toys, the place she wants to go, and her dreams when growing up."Daddy, you know . . . I-I want to be like Mommy when I grow up. I want to be strong like her. Mommy is strong, isn't she?"Ramina let out a deep sigh. She felt a little happiness in her heart. Slowly, a sincere smile carved on her lips as she looked at her daughter. "I think so too, Prescelle." She heard his boss whisper to her daughter. Her cheeks only grew hotter because of what she heard. Until she could no longer cope and immediately covered the distance between them to hopefully take her daughter. "Pr
"Ezekiel! You son of a bitch!" When Ezekiel heard the voice of his friend thundered inside the room, he immediately laugh out loud. He was there in Percy's office, he went inside without knocking beforehand. Percy on the other hand was gone furious. His eyebrows almost met each other and his eyes were dark and daring. The funny thing is that Ezekiel could almost see the smoke coming from Percy's nose and ears because he was churning with anger. He exaggeratingly gasped and covered his mouth. "Aren't you pleased to see me, my friend?" said Ezekiel as he put his hand down from his mouth. Percy rolled his eyes and went back to his seat. He unconsciously stood up when he saw Ezekiel in front of him. He almost lost his cool and senses. "What the fuck are you doing here?" Percy bluntly uttered. Ezekiel mocked him and chuckled before sitting on the chair in front of Percy's desk. Percy glared at him. "Did I tell you to sit down?" Ezekiel just stuck out his tongue to tease him more. "
It was a lazy morning for Percy when he woke up on Saturday. He has no plans for the day because it was the third death anniversary of his mother. He cant believe that three years had already passed since that happened. It was hard for him to accept the fact that he lost his parents at an earlier age, even without good treatment for those years of existence, they were still his parents. And he respects them so much. His father died when he was 19 years old. He was in college at that time when Mikhael James Mattheios died at the age of 56 years old. He was rushed to the hospital after having a heart attack. They hoped that it was just a minor injury but it wasn't. His father had experienced a heart failure and he was recorded dead on arrival. When that accident happened, Percy was still at his university, sitting on his chair while answering his exam for finals. His hands were shaking even though he was confident that he would top the exam. But for some reason, even with the overwhelm
Monday came and Ramina was already preparing for work. Prescelle was still sleeping heavily on the bed so she went inside the bathroom to shower. The water was dropping on her body when she remembered what happened the last day. It was a joyous Saturday. She cant deny the fact that she enjoyed it a lot. She opened her eyes and sighed. She still couldn't believe that it was real. All of it was so surreal to her. It felt like a dream . . . Seeing the smile of her daughter while playing with her boss was priceless. It was the first time she saw her having fun a lot without limitation. She laughs whenever her daughter laughed. She smiles whenever she saw her smile. And all the happiness her daughter felt was total because of his boss . . . His boss whom everyone in the company is scared of. While remembering it, she can't help but smile. At least, even in a short period of time, her daughter experienced how it feels like to have a father. And that is all thanks to Percy. She was thinki
Ramina let out a sigh because of frustration. "This is not helping me. I should work by now . . ." she whispered. She pinched herself when she thinks of Percy's stare again. "Get a grip, Ramina!" she scolded herself again. Ramina was so confused and cannot focus on her work because Percy keep on interrupting her thoughts. She should be working by then but she could not do that. She just stared at the files in front of her with nothing coming to her mind. She cannot absorb what she was reading because Percy's words keep on bugging her. "What does he mean?" she frustratedly uttered. She put her elbow above the table and lean her forehead in her palm. When she saw him earlier, she felt something in her stomach that she could not explain either. That is also not helping because she keeps on thinking about that over and over again. There was something about Percy that changed when she saw him. Before Ramina do not usually appreciate his looks but earlier when he came in, Ramina thinks
