Chapter 14: His Order
[Charmane P.O.V]
I couldn't keep my son awake because it would be nine o'clock in the evening. Excessive traffic due to rush hour. So I just went to Sam's room and lay down next to him. I kissed his tiny little cheeks and forehead. I hugged him tenderly too.
I really miss you, baby.
“Mommy…” He was half awake when I hugged her.
I smiled. My stress because of work and the traffic was gone. “Sshh… Close your eyes again, baby. Sleep tight. I love you…” I whispered. I caressed his head and then I sang a lullaby to him to fall asleep again.
II sighed.Baby, I saw him again— your Daddy. But he doesn’t know about you, baby. I don't know how to introduce you to him. How you can learn about each other. Will you be angry with me because I hid you from him? Will you hate Mommy if I don't want to introduce you to your daddy anymore?

Then he focused his stare at the closed elevator.“Charmane Cordova! You witch, I don't know much. Get ready later after our work. You are deceitful,” Gee whispered to me."I don't know what you're saying there," I whispered as well.“Oh, innocent?. Hmp! I'm mad at you. Don’t talk to me.” This gay was really upset and even made fun of me.I would have answered but the elevator opened. So, I needed to cut our conversation. I glanced at Gee. “Talk to you later…” I whispered, then I followed Mr. Hernandez.He immediately got inside his car without staring in my direction. I hesitated to get in his car.

I needed to review all the rules as his temporary secretary.Oh my! The amount I have to study. My head is hurting. Why should I suffer here? Of all others out there who are better, why is it me?

I would have left his office because being with him in his office made me feel uncomfortable. Most especially the way he glanced at me. It was always giving me damn feelings.I even overcame running non-stop along the highway. If I could just snatch out of his eyes, I would have done."Excuse me, Sir," I said goodbye to him, turning away."Wait, Miss Cordova," he said firmly, stopping me from coming out."Do you have anything else to order?" I turned around again but I wasn't glancing at his eyes.“Nothing. Don't leave first. Come here and join me with this coffee,” he said, still looking straight at me.I don't want that, the heat of the weather, to add even more the warmth of his gaze.“B-but, Sir, I still have work to do and finish my work.

Anyway, what are you doing here? Do you need anything?” I said while getting my paperwork on the table.“See, you're not listening. What are you thinking?”"Nothing." I looked up at him.“Okay. If not, then let me guess who is bothering you at this point.” He even put his index finger to the edge of his lips and thought.“Guess who?” I turned my attention back to what was being done.“I think I already know.
