36: Truth about Nancy
It's been a whole week since we traced the IP address of the sender of the email to a Nancy Mandino but still, no luck. I haven't heard anything from Grayson, and with all the added workload of Gavin, and me being hospitalized, we haven't had time to look through the photos we got from the security log book.
"You're spacing out on me again." I heard Zab say as I continued twirling the spoon in the soup that she made.
"Sorry. I'm just thinking about something." I said to her then continued eating my food.
"You're still bothered about Nancy?" She asked and I didn't even need to answer her.
"Look, Zoe. I know you want to know who's doing those things to Gavin, but you're still recovering from your accident. You need to take care of yourself first before thinking about other people." She said in a very strict tone. I know she's right.
I wasn't able to come to work for two days because of the accident and even with my doctor's permission, Zab

"Do you her?" Officer Philips asked, and I guess just looking at our expressions gave him the answer to his question. "We just found out that Nancy is my neighbor, but she's, sometimes, uses a different name." Gavin explained. We then showed Officer Philips, everything that we found. "Thank you for all of your cooperation. Please don't do anything on your own from here on out. She could be dangerous. We'll do our best with this information so, please don't do anything rash and keep each other safe. We'll be on our way." He said then stood up and walked to the door. "I guess you guys should go home too. It's getting late." I said to them. None of them spoke but they both started packing up their things. "Are you sure you're gonna be okay here, alone?" Gavin suddenly asked before getting out the door. "I'm gonna be fine, I'll lock the doors. Don't worry." I said to him as Grayson looks back at us, waiting for Gavin. Gavin nodded at me and they b

"So, what will happen in the office? How is all this going to work?" Andrea asked as we were eating breakfast. To be honest, the thought kinda slipped my mind. We got in trouble because everybody thought that we were together, and now we are."I'll take care of it, don't worry." He simply said shoving another piece of bacon in his mouth. I don't know what it is about him, but I felt reassured by just those words. We spent all morning together in the apartment, but eventually, they had somewhere to be."I'll call you later." He said to me as he went out the door."Okay. Drive safe." I said to him. He nodded at me with that bright smile of his and kissed me on the forehead before walking to his car where Gabby was already waiting for him."Did you tell him?" Andrea asked, I knew exactly what she was talking about."I haven't really had a chance to tell him." I admitted to her."Don't you think you should tell him? Before he finds out from some
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 39: Doubts and Wishes
All of us were so dumbfounded by what we saw that silence filled the whole apartment. Everybody had their breath held and just tried our best to take everything in. "Seems like Nancy had attached herself to you Gavin." Officer Philips said, breaking the ice. "I don't think you should stay here." "Yeah." He just replied and started walking to the door with all of us in tow. "Let's go get your things." I said to him, clasping his hand on mine. He just nodded at me and we went back to his apartment with heavy steps. Andrea and Zab decided to go back while I waited for Gavin to finish packing his things. The whole ride to the apartment was so quiet and halfway through it, I received a message from Andrea. Zab's staying at my place for the time being. We got some of her things. Be safe, okay? I replied a simple okay to her and just quietly sat there on the passenger seat as we drove on. I looked at the clock in hi
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 40: Grayson's Favor
For the past two weeks, Zab stayed at Andrea's, and sometimes she stayed with Charlie. After that bittersweet weekend, me and Gavin went to work and went home from work together. Police officers were also patrolling our office building and the streets near my apartment and Gavin's apartment building, for some added security for us, since we still can't locate Nancy. I guess they are also thinking that Nancy might go to these places just to see Gavin again. As much as possible, we kept a low profile about our new relationship but he told me that he already filed a conflict of interest report to management and it was already approved, but that doesn't mean that we have to flaunt it all over the office. Both of us actually did a lot of overtime for the past two weeks, just to catch up with all of our work. Unfortunately, the management has yet to find replacements for Belle and Margareth so me and Andrea still have to fill in for them. "I guess we need another l

"She's awesome. You should meet her." I said to Andrea after telling her everything that happened during the dinner with Grayson and Rubylyn while we were having lunch. "I'd love to meet her. Wait, I'll be right back." She said then got up from her seat and went to the counter. "Long time no see, Cath." I heard a familiar voice say. I looked up and saw none other than Belle standing beside our table. "Hi, Belle." I said to her politely. "Looks like you're doing great." She said. She was carrying a tray with her food in it. "Look, Belle. I don't want any trouble. So if you came here looking for one, just go." I said to her as I continued eating my lunch. "I'm sorry." Surprise was an understatement for what I felt when I heard her say that. I just looked at her in shock. She let out a small giggle as she saw the look on my face. "Chill Cath. I didn't come here to start a catfight. I admit, I kinda hated you for getting me fired b
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 42: Friend's Intuition
Both Kyla and Andrea were advised to stay the night at the hospital and both me and Gavin agreed that they should, for their own safety. Kyla was hesitant at first, maybe due to the doctor straight up telling her that something might be wrong in her head, but we assured her that no one would believe that she'd do that to herself, and after a phone call with her boyfriend she finally agreed.After telling her man that she was staying the night at the hospital, Marco, her boyfriend, insisted on coming to the hospital to look out for her, and just after a few minutes, Marco arrived."Ky, are you okay?" He immediately asked Kyla as soon as he saw her."I'm fine. They just wanted me to stay the night for observation." She explained, Marco nodded at her and then turned his attention to us."Thank you for taking care of Kyla." He said to us."It's no problem at all, but I do have a favor to ask. Can you look out for my best friend just until I come

I woke up to a hustling and bustling environment. I panicked and looked around and realized that we were still in the hospital. Andrea was already awake, she was sitting on the bed and was currently scrolling on her phone. I looked at the bed beside hers and Kyla was also awake she was also sitting on her bed, doing something on her phone."Finally you're awake." Andrea said to me. "Gavin and Marco are just taking care of the bills and we're free to go." "What time is it?" I asked her."Five in the morning." She replied to me."Are you two sure that you're already fine?" I asked them. Both of them gave me a laugh and just nodded at me."We're fine, Cath. Besides, it's just Friday, we still have work today." Kyla said."It's okay Kyla. You should take some rest. I don't have any important meeting anyway. I just have some work to take care of. You can take the day off." Gavin said as both he and Marco came back to where we were."Are you sure, sir?" She asked and Gavin just nodded at h
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 44: Alone in the Office
I got back to my desk as soon as I finished taking care of the meeting room. I'm starting to feel a bit scared, to be honest. I think I might have pushed Gavin to his limit. I know he's my boyfriend and all that but, he is still my boss and our relationship is still new so maybe it was a wrong move to take the elevator without him. I sat on my chair for a moment, contemplating whether I should go and apologize to Gavin then my phone started ringing, it was Gavin. I took a deep breath and then answered the call. "Hello?" I asked and immediately he answered. "Where are you, Cath?" He asked me, still in a serious tone. "I'm at my desk. Still finishing something. Will go there as soon as I'm done." I replied to him, trying to stall for time. "It's afternoon break already." He replied and I knew I had no way out. "Okay. Be right there. Just one moment. Bye." I said to him. "Make it fast." He said to me then ended the call. I think I really am in so much trouble. With lots of doub
