"Is everything ready?" My mom asked as our housekeepers ran around the house making sure that everything is in order for our family dinner with Grayson and Ruby."Yes, ma'am. Everything is in order." said Nana Rosa as she finished setting up the dinner table."Good. When are they coming, Zoe?" She suddenly turned her attention to me and I can't help but laugh at her eagerness."Grayson said that they are on their way twenty minutes ago." And as I finished talking the sound of the intercom from the gate rang through the house."They're here!" Mom exclaimed as she ran upstairs, probably to get my father. I walked to the front door and looked through the camera and I was right, it was Grayson and Ruby, so I buzzed them in immediately as Gavin and Charlie opened the front door.As soon as I stepped out of the door, I immediately saw a familiar car driving into our driveway. They parked at the end of the driveway and walked to the front door, with Grayson holding a paper bag that looks lik
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 70: Briefing and Identification
I woke up with a slight jolt as I hear the doorbell ring throughout the whole house. I looked at the person sleeping beside me and to my surprise, Gavin was still sound asleep. I sat up from my bed as I rubbed my eyes and left my sleeping boyfriend in the room to go downstairs to see what was happening so early in the morning.As soon as I got to the last flights of stairs, I saw my mom, dad, and Nana Rosa in front of the opened front door, already waiting for whoever rang the doorbell from the gate. I slowly approached them, still yawning and rubbing my eyes."What's going on?" I asked them as another yawn left my mouth, but before any one of them could answer me, a police car suddenly came into view, driving through our driveway. The two officers that we all knew came out of the car and began walking toward us. "To what do we owe your early visit today officers?" My dad suddenly asked as the two of them finally stood in front of the doors."Good morning, Mr. Aragon. We apologize fo
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 71: Entrapment
Honestly, I'm still a bit skeptical about the plan. I'm not really comfortable allowing my boyfriend to be used as bait to lure in a dangerous criminal. And now, until our car ride to the supposed meeting place, I'm still trying to change his mind. "Love, I'm gonna be fine. It's just Kacey. She's not gonna do anything to me." He said to me and I even saw him smile from the corner of my eye. "That's what we thought about Nancy. And what did they get us?" I asked him, this time he flat out laughed at me and that raised the level of my worry even more. "It's not funny, Gavin! I'm seriously not okay with this plan." "Calm down, love. I promise I'm gonna be fine and besides there are gonna be police officers inside the room with me, remember?" He said to me and I still can't manage to shake off my worry. We got into the hotel lobby an hour before the time that Gavin told Kacey to meet up. When we got there the room was already wired with cameras and mics. There were four police officers
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 72: A Secret of the Aragons
I didn't know that taking someone to court is this hard. Our mom and dad immediately hired a lawyer for the case to help with the prosecution but we still had to gather all of the paper works ourselves and I was the one who got stuck to it. So now, me and Gavin and in our apartment trying to organize everything. It includes paper works from the hospital, the messages between Kacey and Gavin, and the paperwork for the car. "Thank goodness, I kept everything from the hospital." I said to Gavin as he helped me organize all the paper works. "Good job, love." He said to me sarcastically like he was complimenting a little kid that just memorized the alphabet, so I just rolled my eyes at him. "I'm not complaining. It's just I didn't expect this much work that I have to take a leave from the office again." I said to him as I continued what I was doing. "Hey, your wedding with Grayson is postponed again. So I think it's a win-win for us." He said. "I guess you're right." I said to him wh
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 73: Haunted by the Past
It's been almost three weeks but I still haven't talked to Ruby about the matter, honestly, I don't know how I would tell her about it. I've been thinking of the best way to break the news to her but I couldn't think of any. "Why are you so distracted?" I was snapped out of my internal argument by Andrea who just popped up from nowhere. "What?" I asked her confused. "I have been asking you if you are not gonna eat lunch? Baby mama is hungry!" She exclaimed as she rubbed her now five months tummy. "Come on. Xander is gonna kill me if I don't feed you." I said to her, getting out my wallet and grabbing my phone before standing up. "What's going on with you?" Andrea suddenly asked as she started munching down on her lunch. "What do you mean?" I asked her, feigning ignorance. "You know what I mean, Cath. You have been so distracted lately. This is not the first time that you have been spacing out since Kacey has been caught. Sometimes, I even caught you muttering something to yourse
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 74: Just the Two of Us
The week went by and we had to postpone the dinner with Ruby because we had to prepare for the upcoming trial. Hopefully, Kacey would plead guilty so we don't have to go through all the hassle of multiple trials. "You know. We hadn't had a proper date yet." Gavin suddenly said as we both laid down in bed on a Friday night. "What do you mean? Of course, we already went on dates." I said to him confused about what he was talking about. "I mean. We haven't planned out a date. We always eat together, we are living together, went to events together but that's it. We haven't even watched a movie together or gone out of town." He said, rolling over on his side, facing me. And come to think of it, he was right. We have never spent a whole day just for ourselves to just relax and enjoy each other's company. "So, how about we go for a road trip tomorrow?" He asked and I had only one answer in mind. "Let's go." I said to him with a smile. I honestly couldn't sleep that night, I was just so
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 75: Jealous Beach
"Come on, Gav. We shouldn't stay indoors on such a bright day." I said to him as I tried to stand up from the bed. He then pulled me back to bed with him and hugged me closer."Just one more hour." He murmured as he buried his face in the nook of the neck."Fine, just promise me that we will go down before sunset." I said to him and he just nodded. I then woke up with him shaking my torso as he kept whispering to me. "Come on, love. Let's go to the beach." He said to me as I rolled myself over to my back. I completely opened my eyes and saw that he was already in his swimsuit as he sat beside me. He smiled at me as soon as our eyes and I couldn't help but smile back at him."Get changed, love." He whispered to me before giving me a kiss as he stood up from my bed."Yey!" I exclaimed with a yawn as I stood up from the bed and hopped to the bathroom to change. I excitedly put on my red two-piece swimsuit, then tied my hair into a bun then washed the sleepiness from my face before going
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 76: A Night to Remember
I got out of the shower and wrapped myself in a towel before heading out to the bedroom. I was so surprised when Gavin suddenly pulled me by the waist as I stepped out of the bathroom. He then gave me a kiss on the forehead and without saying anything, he went inside the bathroom, closing the door behind him. I couldn't help but smile at his antics. I then turned around where another surprise awaited me. I walked toward the bed to take a closer look at what was laying on top of it. It was an emerald green dress that looks so beautiful. It was so breath-taking and I can't help but be in awe. "Love?" I asked as I went back to the bathroom door. "Yes, love. The dress and the shoes are yours." He answered me and I got a bit confused but when I turned around to look at the bed again, there it was, a pair of silver stilettos. It stood at the feet of the bed and I couldn't stop the smile that was creeping into my face. "Thank you." I screamed in excitement and then went back to the bed.
