His Fifth Mate 10
Chapter 10Clarissa POVMy heart wavers in excitement as my boss drives me down the road. I keep glancing at him occasionally, and I can't help admiring his perfection. Unlike when I just started working here, he has really changed from being a ghost-like and introverted boss to a fun person, even though he talks less."Why do you live alone? Aren't you married?" I ask him out of the blue as a result of my curiosity, and he glances at me. I mean, he's old enough to be married, and for him to tell me that he lives alone is kind of questionable."No, I'm not married. Why do you ask?" He replies to me casually, and I smile. For some unknown reason, I feel excited about his answer. Yes, I have a crush on him, but that doesn't mean that I should be happy that he's not yet married, right?"Nothing," I shake my head, and he nods his head.The rest of the drive to my apartment was filled with silence, and we finally arrive after about twenty minutes of driving."Thanks for the ride, Sir," I s

Chapter 11Clarissa POVI made sure I look great today since I'll be going out with my boss later. Although I have no idea where he'll be taking me yet, but I made sure I dressed exclusively today so I can stand out later."Is your boss going to introduce you to his family? What's with that dress?" Charity had asked me before I left for the office in the morning, but I only rolled my eyes at her.I have been in the office for quite some minutes now, but he's not yet here. Feeling insecure about my dress, I decided to go check myself out in the restroom, maybe if there's anything I should fix in my body before he comes to the office.Returning to my office a few minutes later, I find him already sitting behind his desk in his company, and I sigh disappointedly. I wanted him to see how beautiful I look in the dress, and maybe getting a compliment or two from him would assure me that I didn't waste my time.I sigh briefly as I slump on my chair and resume work reluctantly. Barely five mi

Chapter 12Clarissa POVWe finally arrive at the restaurant after a few minutes of driving, and the waiter served me the food I ordered immediately. It's not nice to rush food, but I don't have a choice at this point, since I'm so famished."You haven't told me about yourself yet," I break the awkward silence as we stroll down the street of the restaurant later, getting fresh air. It's past 8pm already, and everywhere is dark, except for the street light that is still keeping the street alive. We left the restaurant a few minutes ago after I finished having my meal, and strangely, he didn't join me to eat, which had me questioning myself if he eats often. I've only seen him eating once, and I forced him to. Even during lunchtime, he never goes out to have lunch."I don't think there's much to know about me," He shrugs, and I glance at him."Just tell me the little you feel I should know," I reply to him, and he shrugs."Maybe about your family. Do you have a patent, siblings, and if y

Chapter 13Clarissa POV"Why are you so excited? Did your crush ask you out?" Charity asks as we have dinner later. I got home a few minutes ago, and I've been overly happy since then. I didn't expect my boss would ever ask me out, and even if he was going to, I didn't expect it to be so soon, but it came sooner than I expected it, and I can't help being excited about it."Uhm... This is weird... Can you give me some time to think about it, please?" That was my reply to him, even though I wanted to tell him yes immediately. I didn't want to look like I'd been waiting for him to ask me out.'Can you give me a reply soon? I don't want to keep waiting' that was what he said to me before I finally left his car when he dropped me off earlier, and his voice rings in my head like he's here with me."I just asked you a question, Clarissa?" Charity hits a spoon on my forehead, bringing me back to reality."Hey! You didn't have to do that, right?" I wince pretentiously as I touch my forehead, b

Chapter 14Alpha Miguel POVIt was difficult for me to suddenly start dating just like humans since it's not in our tradition, but I have to take things slow and act like a human, maybe I will be able to win her heart, and she won't have any option than to accept me later. Since she said yes to me via text yesterday, I guess we can now be called boyfriend and girlfriend.I left home this morning and headed to her house after I was done with my usual morning routine. I spent all night, surfing the internet and trying to get some information about how I can treat my girlfriend, and it's pretty weird the things that the internet taught me. It's weird, going to her house to pick her up for work, but I know that I really have to do this if I want to win her heart.Her place doesn't look so great and well furnished, but that is not my problem, anyway."Wow! You are here, Mr. Miguel?" The way her friend smiled at me when I came here moment ago, is creepy. I think she must've told the young l

Chapter 15Clarissa POVWe had a long day at work, and it was really weird to think that I'm now dating my boss. It was also something to be excited about, because why not? I guess he's just not good at conversation, and maybe he was just shy.It was finally closing time, and I round up for the day, waiting for him in my office to join me so we can head to the movies since I already got two tickets for us.The door finally opened after about ten minutes of waiting and he walks into my office while maintaining a blank expression as always. Does he never smile?"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. Should we go now?" He asks me, looking everywhere else except my face, and I hum as I nod my head."Sure," And with that, we finally head out of my office with him leading the way.The employees keep throwing glances at us as we walk through the lobby minutes later, but I don't really care about them though, because why the hell should I? I am dating my boss, I am proud of it, and I don't owe a

Chapter 16Alpha Miguel POV"Are you kidding me, Roan? How can you even think of that?" I snap at Roan angrily as I slam my hands on the table in front of him. I have only come here to tell him about the progress with my mate so far, but he told me to bring her here already."This is something you need to do...""Come on, we both know that I can't do this... At least not now. She doesn't even know who I am, and you expect me to just bring her here? That's crazy. She's a human for goodness sake, and that is not how things are done in their world," I try to explain to him, trying not to yell again. I know he has been doing his best to help me, which was why I always deemed it fit to listen to him and heed his instructions, but not this one.It has been difficult for me, having to put up all that in the name of making her fall in love with me, but it is more difficult, lying to her. I wonder how she will feel when she finds out about all this."What are you planning to do since you are i

Chapter 17Alpha Miguel POVAs the time drives near, I can't help but feel nervous. We haven't spoken to each other all day, and I didn't even go to her house to pick her up for work today. I was so nervous and I didn't want to be alone with her, and spending the whole day together in the office makes me feel so nervous.The long time finally arrives, and I become even more nervous. We finally close from work, and I drive us to the place we were supposed to have our dinner date. We didn't spend much time on the road before we got to the restaurant."Do you like the food?" She asks as she watches me eat, and I slowly nod my head. She should be acting this way, and not me, but I can't even help it. The mate bond is making me feel like a fool around her, and I don't even know what to do."So, I was saying something on the phone yesterday. So, why don't we get to know each other? You know you already know my friend, how about I know yours? Oh, I'm sorry, you told me you don't have one..."
