I Am Sorry
Regor’s POV
“How do you say sorry to someone?” I asked Gino, who sat on my executive chair.
As usual, he did not leave right away after I adjourned the meeting with the Department Secretaries that morning. He followed me to my office for chitchat."Did pigs fly?” He said flippantly.“Idiot!” I brushed his joke aside and worriedly cupped my chin.These days, I have been restless.I could not sleep.I could not concentrate on my work.Thoughts of Katarina would often distract me. I can not seem to shake out the pained expression on her face when she hurriedly left my suite after our confrontation about Eliana.It bothered me that we were not on good terms.“You are serious?” Gino frowned. He could not hide his surprise.If someone knew me for as long as Gino knew me, he could say this is very uncharacteristic of me.I have always been proud, stubborn, and unrelenting.Related chapters

I do not want people to think the President was giving me preferential treatment given that we work closely together.It was already bad enough when the military rites incident blew over the news.Until now, I still heard people talking about it behind my back.I do not want to add to the Palace grapevine.

An Affair with the President Threatened
Katarina’s POV“Who sent those?” The President eyed the roses with disdain. I felt guilty instantaneously at the expression on his face. I had butterflies in my stomach.I tried to quell it when a nagging voice in my head assured me I did nothing wrong.“F-former Cong. Buenavidez, Sir. He heard about the incident yesterday.” I told him nervously. I could feel my palms sweating.“And the call? Was it him?” He probed again. I saw his body go taut, his ripped muscles flexing. I clamped my lips. I do not know why I suddenly felt frightened. There was something dangerous about his mood right now. I fear that if I answered yes, he would explode.Against my better judgment, I nodded my head yes, bracing myself for the outcome. It did not come. I breathed a sigh of relief.“Representative Marlon Buenavidez, is he courting you?” His voice is precariously low, giving me the impression that he was already

Even Regor was going over the data I provided him for his speech while we waited for the MC to call him up on stage.After a few minutes of reading, he nudged me. When I turned to him, he motioned for me to come closer, so I bent my head and turned my ear slightly towards him.He leaned in and whispered - his breath tickled my skin."I hope this day will be over soon." He sounded so much like my son Dion when he was bored. His action earned an indulgent smile from me. I playfully patted his head while in my mind, I was going over his schedule for today, checking if there had been something I missed."You do not have any appointments after th

Why did you refuse him? Playing hard to get, or are you too ambitious to want more? Is that why you involved yourself with the President?”My eyes flashed fire at the sudden burst of my ire.

He is way out of your league." he mocked me, making my blood boil.My nails dug on my palms. How my hand itch to slap his face and wipe the sarc
