Chapter 29
[Charmane POV]
“I don’t remember—”
“Don't deny it because you already admitted it last night. Do you want me to repeat everything you said?”I looked down because I feel embarrassed.
"Charmane?"
I sighed. “Okay. What else do you want to know from me?” there is no reason for me to continue to deny everything.
"It is you?" he seriously asked me again.
I looked at him straight. “Yes. Will anything change because I already admit it? look, as what I’ve said last night, I only did that because of two people I trusted completely but I was also deceived.”
There was sympathy in his eyes. "Why did you leave me then in that hotel room after what happened?"
Chapter 30Soon I heard a knock on the back door. I stood up and opened it. I thought it was the delivery guy, but I opened up differently. Someone I never expected to see again. She still doesn't give up even though Brad and I have already introduced ourselves as boyfriend and girlfriend. She was obsessed with him.Trixia stared at me from head to toe. He looked at me badly so I gave him a bad look back."What do you need?"“Guess what I need?” She asked with her raised an eyebrow."I don't have time to guess." I didn’t let her in, we just talk outside the door."You are what I need.""Me?" I even taught myself. "What do you need from me?""I'm not going to wander around anymore."“Right! because you are already disturbing the person who is working, ”I said calmly. Because until
TRIXIA messed up everything. Because we are no longer like those days. Brad treated me now as an ordinary employee and not his pretend girlfriend. We were back from the start— from boss to secretary relationship.It's been three days since we argued. Now, he only talks to me when he needs to do something about work. He was too formal. He became so cold towards me. What used to be pure tenderness and laughter when we were no longer busy has never happened again. Every time we are together in his office I just feel tense. If I could just move my table outside by myself, I would have done it just to avoid him.I would also like to talk to Bea to give me a temporary job with their company, so that I can get out of here, to be free of him, and to free my heart from pain. Every time we avoid each other, he makes my heart heavier.I wanted to talk to Brad but I was hesitant. He always frowned often and he even b
It was weekend and time for me to have some fun with my son. It's just that I have some unexpected guests. Bea and Gee."Auntie, Uncle Gee." My energetic son immediately greeted the two at the door."Oh, Ninang's handsome son." Bea immediately lifted and kissed the child. "The baby smells really good," Sam giggled. "So, how are you, handsome?""I'm fine, Tita.""Good to hear that.""Hi, Tito Gee." He smiled."Hello, baby boy. You look more handsome, huh, and you already growing up," Gee said when Sam kissed his cheeks."Thank you, Tito, and you are also handsome."We laugh at what my son mumbled."Why not going to be a man, Gee. The baby boy said you are handsome too," said Bea, teasing Gee."Yeah. I agree. " I just laughed at Bea too.
I was suddenly nervous.Bea repeated the question when I didn't answer her immediately."T-two," I stammered."Can I see the picture of your ex?"I frowned. "H-huh? Why? " my dead-malicious question."Nothing! Just let me look at it.""I-I don't have a picture of him anymore," I said, avoiding her eyes."Sure?""Yes." I was nervous about the course of Bea's question."All right. If you don't want to show it, it's okay." She shrugged. "But I think, you're hiding something," she said while staring at my son's face intently."Wait! Let me interrupt your conversation, "Gee stopped the tension between us."Shh. Just observed, Gee." Bea faced me again. "Sam looks like him. I just noticed.""H-huh?""Your son and th
“What are you thinking? You deeply thinking in silence again.” I looked up at the table in front of me. "May I know what it is?"“H-huh? U-uhm… ” I gulped. I shook slightly. “N-nothing. Just ignore me.” The day will also come when I can tell Brad my secret. and I think this was not the right place."Charm." My body chilled when he held my hands on top of the table. “I’m here, I’m ready to listen if you have a problem. Kindly share? Let's see if I can help with that.”"Nothing." I smiled a bit."You sure?" I nodded. “Okay, if that’s what you want. But always remember, I can listen to any problem you have. Please do not hesitate to open up to me anytime, okay?”I gulped again.If I could tell you the truth, would you
"You're finally here." Brad approached me as soon as I entered the office. It was as if he was hiding something behind him."S-sorry I'm late."“I know you lack sleep. So it’s okay.”I immediately blushed on both cheeks when I remembered what happened to us in his condo unit."For you." he handed me a bouquet. I got the card and read it.To My, Boss,My day is not complete when you’re not around.BradI smiled when I saw the heart shape on his handwritten card."Thanks for this." I smiled a little, but the truth was my heart was glad.He kis
Chapter 36When my crying subsided, I immediately told Bea everything that had happened.“Damn that old man! He knows nothing at all that is why he easily says that. If he only knew that his grandson was the one he called a bastard! Ugh, such an ashole old man!” her angry reaction. "So, what's your decision now?""I-I will resign."“What?”"That's better, Bey."“You think it’s okay? For me, no! Because all you have to do is listen to Brad's side. Don't be in a hurry, Cha. You better confront him about what happened. Let him know about your son and about what his father did to you.”“My God, Bea, I was already embarrassed and insulted by his father, that’s enough. I don't want to add more.”She shook her h
"Baby, hush, look, mommy wants to show you something," I said when Sam's sobbing in my chest subsided.He looked up at me. "What, Mommy?"I laid him on the bed. “Just wait, baby. Mommy will just get something.”I immediately rummaged through the albums inside my mini cabinet. Where our important family papers are also kept.I put down all the albums I got in the cabinet. I think it was time to let him know about my family. And here on these old albums, I’ll start everything."Mommy, what's that?" Sam's innocent question.“A family album. Take a look at it, baby.”Sam immediately opened the albums. I could see in his eyes the astonishment. “Mommy, you, right?” he pointed to my picture.“Yes, baby. T
