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.
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 77: One Side of the Story
I woke up in bed with my phone ringing. I groaned as I rubbed my eyes and sat up from bed, reaching out to the bedside table to get my phone. I answered the call and was so shocked to hear Zab on the other side. "You guys need to come home." She said and I sat on the bed, fully awake, detecting the urgency in her voice. "What happened?" I asked her and she didn't need to be asked twice. She told me the reason she called me so early and I was dumbfounded at what she told me. "Okay. We'll be home in a few hours." I said to her before ending the call. I immediately turned to Gavin's side of the bed and shook him awake. "What is it?" He asked me sleepily, as he rubbed his eyes. I told him what Zab told me and just like my reaction, he practically jumped out of bed. "Are you serious?" He asked me and I just nodded at him. We both immediately ran around the hotel room, gathering everything that we own and packing them into our bags as fast as we could. Silence filled the car as we drov
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 78: In The Limelight
I still can't believe that Kacey had the audacity to call us out with her lies, and as much as I wanted to fight fire with fire, I did what our lawyers advised. They released a statement the same night that denies the allegations against me and Zab. "Good evening to everybody. I am Michael Harrington, the head of the legal counsel of Catherine Zoe and Cassandra Zabrina Aragon. Speaking on behalf of them, we deny all the allegations that are being pointed at my clients. Hence we will also be adding a defamation lawsuit on top of the already high pile of cases against Ms. Kacey Ruben." I concentrated on every word that he was saying. "The Aragon family will not take the bait that was thrown at them and wishes to proceed with the trial without resorting to an unorthodox method. We want to show everyone the whole story without any embellishments, cuts, or pretentious allegations so we requested from the court that the whole trial would be televised live. Showing a live broadcast of the t
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 79: Trial Day
The day came, the day of the trial. I know that we're prepared for whatever they would throw at us but I'm still very much anxious. We don't know what Kacey has under her sleeve, I just hope that this won't get dragged out."Are you ready?" I asked Zab as we got to the court."Ready as I'll ever be." She replied to me and I just held her hand to at least let her know that I'm here for her.Gavin wouldn't be attending the trial because of work and that actually made me more nervous. I just hope that everything will go according to our plan.Zab smiled at me and we both got out of our car and went straight to the assigned courtroom for our case. As we expected, our lawyer, the prosecution, and the defense were already there. I looked around and saw the cameras that were set up inside the courtroom. The stands were already filled with reporters.As soon as we came in, cameras started flashing our way and some reporters mumbled questions at us that I could barely understand, the guards th
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 80: Guilty
"We never really broke up. My friends were throwing me an out-of-town bachelorette party and when I got back, he was nowhere to be found. No text, no message, nothing. He never contacted me and then a friend of mine told me that Gavin was on the news here. He was a victim of stalking and was currently admitted to a hospital so I figured that maybe that's the reason why he hasn't contacted me. I hurried to the hospital and got his room number and that's when I saw them. He and Catherine were making out in the hospital room that they shared." Kacey said with tears filling up her eyes. I can't believe she's doing this. She's really painting herself as the victim and I'm just glad that Gavin is not here to hear this, it would have broken his heart. "As you can see your honor, in Kacey's eyes, she and Gavin were still together and was about to get married. Can you imagine how she felt when she saw with her own two eyes that her boyfriend is with another girl?" Said her lawyer then sat ba
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 81: Ripping Off the Band-aid
Everyone stood there in silence, dumbfounded as my parents stood in front of Ruby. Blocking her from her supposed mother's view. Ruby looked at my parents, looking so confused at what was happening. She looked around and our eyes met, I gave her a reassuring smile. "You?" I heard my mom exclaim and so my focus turned back to her. My mom and dad were looking intently at Ruby's mom. "How..." She asked as she stood up looking around. Her eyes then landed on me and then turned back to Ruby and then back to me again. "Damn it. Why didn't I see the resemblance?" Her mom said as she stood up straight smiling at all of us as she faced our parents again. And before we get any explanation, she started running away from us. My dad gave a signal to his bodyguards and some of them ran after Ruby's mom, while the others stayed behind. "Are you guys okay?" My mom asked us. "Zoe? Zab?" She asked me and my sister and we just nodded at her and gave her a smile. She then turned her attention to Ruby
