Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 83: Then There were Three
It's been a crazy week. With all my deadlines lined up, I was so deep into work that the week just flew by, and the next thing I knew me and Gavin is already at the mall waiting for Ruby. We talked for the whole week, she had lots of questions and I tried my best to answer each and every one of them, but there are things that could only be answered by our parents. She wanted to have coffee first before heading out to the house, so we were waiting for her at a coffee shop on the ground floor of the mall. Besides, I needed the caffeine in my body, I haven't had any decent sleep the whole week. "Love, you look tired." Gavin said to me as my head started to droop. "Just work, love. I managed to finish all of it but I haven't slept for days." I said to him, taking a sip of my coffee. "Am I late?" I was a bit startled by Ruby's sudden appearance that I almost choked on my coffee. "Are you okay? Sorry." she said as Gavin handed me a glass of water from the counter. "No. I'm okay and yo
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 84: The First Aragon
I heard Ruby sigh a deep breath and I took her hand and gave it a little squeeze as encouragement. She looked back at me and she smiled as she took another breath. "Ready?" I asked her and she nodded at me. "Ready as I'll ever be." She said that made me smile. "Then let's go." Zab said and she started walking ahead of us to the main house. I looked at Ruby again and we followed Zab. The doors opened as we got closer to the door and were immediately greeted by the smiling faces of our housekeepers. They were lined up beside the door, with Nana Rosa at the very end. "Wow. Mom and dad really went all out with your homecoming." Zab said as she walked inside the house, greeting everyone and then going straight to Nana Rosa. I, on the other hand, grab hold of Ruby and introduced her to all of the house staff. "And last but definitely not the least, the irreplaceable Nana Rosa." I said to her as I gave a hug to our nanny. "She was already helping our parents in the house even before we

"Camilla Zaila?" Ruby repeated with a smile on her face. "Yes, we didn't give it to your other sisters because we hoped that you will eventually find your way back to us. But as the years passed, it slowly seemed impossible that we would get to see you again." Mom said as she smiled bitterly at her food."Ruby, we couldn't imagine what you have been through, growing up away from our family, but now that we finally found our way back to each other, me and your mom are kind of hoping that you would live here with us." Our dad said, and it took Ruby by surprise based on her reaction. The servers then took our plates and began serving the desserts."Well, at least for a year. We just wanted to get to know our daughter a bit more. And Zoe, Zab." Mom called out to us. "We were also hoping that you two would move back to the house, for maybe a year too?"I looked around at the people sitting by the table and I could tell that Ruby and Zab were really thinking hard about it, and both Charlie
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 86: Gender Reveal
Everything has been pretty normal after that day at the house. I don't know if I should be happy about it or scared that this could be the calm before the storm. "Love, they're waiting for us." Gavin said as he finished putting on his clothes. Andrea invited us for lunch to celebrate. She and Xander just bought a house on the outskirts of town and she had been babbling to me about it the whole week. They would also be having a gender reveal later, and that's actually what I'm excited about. "I"m almost done." I said to him and put on the finishing touches with my makeup. "What is that?" I exclaimed as turned to him after I smelled something bad. The scent hit my nose so hard that I had I felt like I was about to hurl. "What is what, love?" Gavin asked looking so confused. "That..." I couldn't finish my sentence because I felt the food in my stomach jump up my throat. I ran to the bathroom as my stomach did a somersault and I started hurling as soon as I sat on the floor with

"Are you sure you can come to work, love?" Gavin asked me as we were getting ready for work. He's been worried about me throughout the weekend, and I couldn't blame him. I was feeling a bit under the weather the whole weekend and even my parents noticed. "I'm fine, love. Besides, I still have tons of work to finish this week so I have to get a head start." I reassured him. I don't think I convinced him enough but he knows that he couldn't do anything to change my mind. "Fine." He said, giving in. "But tell me if you feel anything weird, okay?" He said to me and I just nodded at him as I finished putting on my lipstick. "So, how was your mom and dad's vacation?" I asked him as we drove off. His parents just got back from an out-of-the-country vacation and I wasn't able to come with him last night to their house, because I wasn't feeling very well. "They are a little bummed that you couldn't come to dinner last night but they understood that you weren't feeling fine so they just gav
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 88: A Shocking Surprise
"It could be anemia based on all the symptoms that you said to me, but we can't still be sure about it. We would need to do some laboratory tests on her to have a proper diagnosis." I heard a familiar voice say, but I can't put a finger on it. "Thank you, Caleb." Oh yeah, I remember. That voice is from my high school friend Caleb but I didn't need help in recognizing the voice of the man that he was talking to. "Gav?" I called out to him as I regained my consciousness. "Cath? Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?" He asked me and I slowly shook my head at him. "I'm fine. Just a bit of a headache." I said to him and then my tummy began rumbling. "And I am a bit hungry." I continued with a smile. "Do you feel anything out of the ordinary, Zoe?" Caleb asked as he got closer to me. "As of now, I don't think so. I honestly feel fine. Minus the headache." I answered him. "Does this often happen to you? I mean the vomiting and the dizziness?" He asked me, making me think about it more.
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 89: Baby News
"Are you excited, love?" Gavin asked me as he placed his hands on my shoulder as I was sitting in front of my vanity mirror. I looked at his reflection and all my doubts were washed away just by looking at his smiling face. "I am. I'm just a bit scared." I said to him as I leaned my head on his arm. "It's gonna be fun. Everyone is gonna be happy for us." He said to me as he wrapped his arms around me. "Yeah. You're right." I said to him as I turned around to face him and wrap my arms around him too. We decided to invite both of our families, including Andrea and Xander for dinner. Both me and Gavin wanted everyone we care about to know about our pregnancy from us. We weren't planning it, but we are both happy and excited for the baby. We thought it was fitting to do the announcement at the restaurant we first have dinner, so we rented out a private room there. "Are you done?" He asked me as he pulled away from the hug. I turned back to my vanity and put on some finishing touche

The announcement actually went better than we expected. Everybody was on a high with happiness, until we all finished every bite of the dessert and drop of the white wine that was served. "So, are you guys planning on having your wedding before or after your baby is born?" Gabby suddenly asked. "We kinda haven't figured it out yet." I answered her honestly. "Yeah. We just found out about our baby two days ago, so we haven't talked about it yet. We just wanted to let you all know as soon as we can." Gavin added and they just nodded at us. "Yeah, with everything that's going on with the Landers." Zab suddenly said that shocked me a bit. "Zab!" I called out to her, wanting her to stop. "What? All I'm saying is that it's gonna be hard for you two to come out in public when you have a big belly." she continued. I looked at her and then looked at Grayson. Her eyes then widened and I knew that she finally realized what she just said. "Oh my gosh. Grayson. I didn't mean it that way. I'
