Be my date...
Be my date, Talia.
Be my date.
What the hell? B-Be his date? Is he freaking serious with that? I know that he has no time to joke around and I am very knowledgeable that he does not joke. Did he mean to say that word? Did he?
I looked at him with my curious eyes. Confusion crept into my face. I don't understand him. "H-Huh?"
Be my date. That sentence did not leave my mind. It was like a broken record that keeps on playing and is glitching in my hearing. He really said that. Or maybe, I misheard it?
He licked his lower and raised his left brow afterward. "You don't want to?"
"No! I mean, yes! Yes, I don't want to! Why would I date you anyway? You are my boss and I am your secretary!"
The side of his lips then rose. "Relax," he muttered under his breath before he stepped forward. I gulped and stepped backward on the other hand. He was staring at me intently and was like he was telling me something through his eyes which I don't get. "You know who I am, right?"
I nodded my head even though I am nervous. I could even feel my knees shaking! "Y-Yes, of course. You are Mister K-Kiel Alexandro Ramirez..."
His eyes darkened when I uttered his whole name. Why is that, anyway? What is wrong with him? "Drop that fucking mister."
I gulped when he took another step toward me. I felt so weak just by his stares at me. I could feel his gaze through my soul and in just a second, I know. I know I will collapse. "W-Why?"
He kept on stepping forward and I on the other hand steps backward. Not until I felt the cold wall against my back. I closed my eyes in frustration. What is he doing? Why does he keep on getting near me? What does he want?
"Please, stop. Tell me what you want," I told him. He smirked and hover down. His lips went near my ears which made me groan in annoyance. What is he doing?! I closed my eyes tightly and harshly when I felt his breath on my skin.
"I said, date me."
Holy fuck. That whisper made me goosebumps. He used his sexy and hot tone to seduce me but there is no way I get seduced by him. My wall is tight and no one can break it, especially him who is just nothing.
"Who are you for me to date?" I gathered all of my strength just to throw that word toward him. Yes, who is he for me to date? I don't even know him other than he is a CEO and a billion heir. He has no right to just ask someone to date him, especially me. I mean, yes, they can ask, but not the way this Ramirez is doing right now!
He is fucking naughty and I hate him! I don't like guys with the same guts as his!
He chuckled in my ear. "More on, who are you to refuse my offer?"
I gritted my teeth and was bout to push him away from me when he traced his index finger in my earlobe down my neck. Damn him! He should have fired me when he will just do this kind of thing to me. I hate this...
"I am Talia Hernandez," I bravely said and showed him my sharp gaze. He just chuckled and stared at my lips. That is when I moved my face away from him. What is the fucking doing? I will not hesitate to kick his ass off when he will do something worse!
"Well, I am your naughty boss."
"Please, stop it."
He chuckled once again. "Kidding aside, brat." He lightly kissed the side of my lip before he went away from me. That is when I felt relief. But wait, what? He k-kissed me? The side of my lips! He kissed the side of my lip! What the fuck?! Why did he do that?!
"W-What..." I was about to fire him for what he did but he already turned his back on me and went back to his seat. He even adjusted his polo suit like nothing! Like he did nothing to me!
I felt weak. I felt so many emotions. My system is so weak for me to grasp what happened. That man! If I could only punch his face!
"Prepare yourself for the meeting."
I just nodded my head to what he said later on. Now, he is back to his usual self. He acts as if nothing happened. I was still in my place and I am not able o move. I was still taken aback and so I forced myself to walk near the couch and sat there to relax.
Breathe in, and out.
Understand that naughty CEO. He will pay for what he did. I promise I will do vengeance.
"Don't take that seriously," Alexandro uttered later on while he is busy reading an article. "You are just too weak to speak for yourself."
I creased my brows. "Pardon?"
He let out a light sigh and looked at me with rolled eyes. "Fight for yourself next time."
I laughed sarcastically at what he said. "You are just naughty."
"I am but in the right place."
I looked away and can't utter anything.
"If someone will do that to you, you will just let them be? You will just say something without putting actions on it?"
"What do you mean?"
"We're in reality. Women nowadays were abused, harassed, and hurt; physically, and mentally. Fight for your life and don't just keep yourself shut."
He is weird. Why is he telling these things to me? He just jumped into this kind of topic. He did that lately to teach me a lesson, then? What the hell? How nonsense he is! He can tell me any lessons without him acting like a villain.
"I pity women," he added which made me feel insulted.
"I felt more pity for men like you," I fired back. "Women were usually hurt because of you guys. Men are the most reason why women are harassed, hurt, and abused. Don't put all the blames on us."
He stopped for a moment. He was like stunned and something flashes in his mind back all of a sudden. He looked at me with his blank face. "Men are protecting women."
How hilarious his words are. "Playing good, huh? Men are hurting women."
"Not all."
"I said most."
"Yeah," he nodded his head and looked down at the paper in his hands. "Most men protect their women. Maybe you haven't felt that. I bet man in your life never tends to love nor protect you at all cost?"
I froze. How dare he say that? "Shut your mouth if you know nothing."
He smirked and leaned against his seat. "No, Miss. I know everything. I know."
I gulped. What does he mean?
"What are you doing here, kid?"I looked at Mister Deguzman, Zed's uncle. Yes, I did go to his place to talk to him personally. The topic that I will discuss with him should be tackled privately."I am here to talk to you," I said and darted my gaze. He sighed and put his papers aside. Then, he leaned against his seat and motioned me to the chair in front of his table before him afterward."Kindly sit."I stopped myself to smile. I should not celebrate this early because I know that he would not let me join to investigate. He does not want any allies just like what Zed told me. He is fond of working alone because he trusts himself more than anyone."Good evening. I am sorry if I went here late." Yes, it is already 10 in the evening. I just excused myself at Mister Ramirez. Since he is annoyed at me with our semi-debate, he lets me get off his face. What a good thing, is not it?"What do you want again?"I pursed my lips. "I want to join the investigation about my parents' death.""And
"Prepare yourself for the trip."I looked at Mister Ramirez when she said that as soon as he entered the office. He look so serious and cold this time, he did not even throw a glance at me and just went straight to his table and sat in his swivel chair."Coffee, Sir," I said and put the coffee on his table which he gladly accepts. I checked about his schedule for today and I have not seen any meeting that has something to do with the trip. What trip is he talking about?"We will go to Canada to meet a big-time client," he said and checked his paper. I ended up nodding my head. Before I could ask for information, he already handed me the paper about that trip to Canada."Oh, thank you."I did my job and the thing I should do. I added it to our schedule. We will stay there for a week? Hey, for a week? Seriously? We will stay in a hotel for six consecutive nights and seven days."Next time, grind more. I should be the one asking you about this stuff," said Mister Ramirez and sighed. "You
"I don't actually accept jokes."I bit the insides of my cheeks out of shame. This is so annoying yet embarrassing at the same time. I mean, I meant what I said lately and he should take it as a joke! He knows that that is a flirty sentence yet he acts like he does not get any sarcasm. I would like to punch him right away in his face. How can I do so anyway?I let out an exaggerating sigh and I almost massage my temple. "I am sarcastic for Pete's sake," I said in monotone, almost a whisper but I made sure that he can hear me say that.He chuckled. "Just like what I have said, I don't take jokes.""That that is not my problem anymore.""I am a boss and you should not talk to me that way.""Sorry not sorry, Mister."I looked at him and saw him just rolled his eyes. His sight is darting to the newspaper he has in hand but his attention is focused on me. That is his talent and he is so good with that. I just regret saying those word, "then punish your slave, daddy" because that sounds dis
"What are you staring at?"My lips slowly formed a smile before I went near Mister Ramirez. He is currently holding a pan to catch the rats on the kitchen counter. I then pursed my lips when I saw that two rats were messing up with the chips in the cabinet area. I looked around the kitchen and saw two vases broken on the floor. It is not safe to go around with this debris so we have to call for staff.I get the pan he is holding before I hit it with the two rats together. With just one try, I caught them and they were trapped in the hole of the pan. I then looked at Sir Ramirez with a teasing look, but he was careless and just sighed in relief. He is leaning against the wall and is breathing heavily, as if afraid to get near these rats."How nice of you," I hissed and shook my head. Since the rats is already trapped, I went to the calling area to call a staff. But before I could dial a number, the door already opened and two staff went inside with a janitress."Sorry for coming late,
"Miss Hernandez."I stood up from my seat when I heard a familiar voice calling for me. I let out a sigh first and checked myself, I might completely look so messy right now. It will be so embarrassing for me if I will open the door with my not-so-good-looking self."Yes? You need anything, Sir?" I opened the door and faked a smile at Mister Ramirez. He looks so frustrated right now but of course, he is a professional one so he did not let people notice what he is feeling right now."Yes, I need your help."My brows arched in owe. Wow, now he needs help? I did not know that he cannot stand himself alone yet. "Oh, what about it? I am willing to serve you, my boss."His jaw clenched and looked at me with a dark look. He is already annoyed at me. "Cook food for me."My mouth formed an "o". "You do not know how to cook?""I can. And I can even request for a service.""Oh, then why do you have to ask for my help if that?"He licked his lower lip and massaged his temple a little. Just by se
"Am I your lunch?""H-Huh?" I gulped and blinked thrice in surprise. I looked at Mister Ramirez that is already raising his brows at me. Why the hell did he fucking ask me that? Am I staring at him for too long that he is already feeling uneasy?"You keep on looking at me," he said in monotone and chewed the food inside his mouth. I then bit my lower lip and looked down at my food. Wait, I wasn't eating yet! or maybe I already started to eat but just a little because I can not focus just because of his presence.I still can not grasp the view until now! He is just wearing boxers for Pete's sake!"Uh, I am sorry," I said and shook my head. I then reached for my water and sipped on the glass. Now, I can not look at him because I could feel his teasing stares."Focus on your food and not on me," he just simply said that making me nod my head. Alright. I will. I will focus on eating my lunch and will not glance at his almost naked body.But heck! It seems like he is seducing the hell out
“Good evening, Miss Sandoval.”I bowed my head to Miss Sandoval, the big-time client of Mister Ramirez. We’re here in a decent restaurant and I went here early to prepare their meeting dinner. Miss Sandoval has arrived first and we will just wait for Mister Ramirez.“Have a seat, Ma’am,” I told her and guided her the sit.She then smiled at me. “Thank you.”I bowed my head a little and went to the counter. There is already wine on their table and the food will be served later once Mister Ramirez gets to arrive. Good thing he went to the rendezvous minute later. I will kick his ass off if he will make Miss Sandoval wait for him.They greeted each other before Mister Ramirez sat on his seat. I just stared at them while the staff started to serve their food on the table. And just like expected, they started to have a conversation about business. I want to laugh because the way Mister Ramirez looks at her seems like he already wants to take her on the bed to fuck her countless times. The
I could feel the cold breeze hitting on my open skin, making me hug myself in cold. I then looked up at the sky with my lips curved a little. There are lots of stars above the dark sky and I swear, they look so beautiful. It makes me want to stare at them all the time, all over my life and I will never get tired of doing that.I then let out a sigh, making some smoke to get out of my mouth. It is really cold especially since I am outside the hotel building and am walking around to enjoy myself with the view of the place. This place is addicting and maybe I will go back here when I got to have time. And oh, by tomorrow, I will come back here to take pictures with a clear and light sky."How are you there, Mom and Dad?" I asked and stopped on a bench in the park. I know my parents are there, looking down at me. I know that they see me and they were hearing me. "I miss you two."I am now smiling, a better one. I just want to shed tears just by knowing that I am living alone now, without
