Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 91: Damage Control
I answered the call immediately, without even looking at who it was. "Hello?" I asked the caller. "Zoe?" and I immediately recognized the voice, it was Zab. I let out a breath of air that I didn't even know that I was holding. "Oh gosh. Please tell me you have good news?" I said to her as I looked at Gavin nervously. "I'm afraid not, sister." She began and I could feel a lump forming in my throat. "The Landers called and they are on their way here at the mansion as we're speaking." "What?" I exclaimed, stunned at the information. "They are coming here. So get your butt here right now." She said to me. "And bring Gavin." "Okay. We'll be right there." I replied to her before ending our call. "What is it?" Gavin asked me as soon as I put down the phone. "We need to go." I said to him and before he could ask any more questions, I stood up from my seat and went to our bedroom to change clothes. "Love, what is it?" He asked again, as he followed me inside our bedroom. "The Lande
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 92: Party Preparations
After that lunch with the Landers, all the commotion has finally died down. My parents stuck with their promise and released invitations for the upcoming party. As they said, they invited almost everybody who’s anybody in every industry, including some people for the press. “So, do we have a color scheme that you want to go with?” The store attendant asked us, as me, Zab, and my mom waltzed into the store. “Nothing in particular.” My mom said to her as me and Zab walked away from her to look at the other things in the store. “Just not red.” She added. Red is the color that Ruby, I mean Cam wanted to wear. Yes, I called her Cam. We’re all starting to get used to calling her that, but she has legally changed her name to Camilla Zaila Aragon and we, her family, couldn’t be happier for her. “Are you sure you want to?” Our mom asked after she brought out the topic. “I’ve been thinking a lot about it since our first dinner after I found out and at first I didn’t want to because I grew u
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 93: The Debut of Another Heiress
All of us gathered at the stage and plastered smiles across our faces. It is finally starting, the highlight of the night. I knew Cam, must have been so bored waiting in her room, an hour into the party, but it was finally time. Our mom grabbed the microphone as she stood side by side with our dad as me and Zab stood on both ends of the line. Gavin, Grayson, and Charlie were all in the front row. My eyes locked on Gavin and we both smiled at each other. “Good evening, everyone.” My mom started. “Is everyone enjoying the party?” She asked, receiving a huge response from the crowd. “That’s good.” She said. “First of all, I would like to thank all of you for coming to this party. For taking time out of your busy schedules to celebrate this momentous occasion with our family. So without further ado, let me call on Grayson Landers to join us on the stage.” Grayson weaved his way through the crowd and finally got to the stage, standing beside me. “Grayson is currently the acting CEO of
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 94: Proof of Identity
Days have passed and Camilla Zaila Aragon is still the talk of the town. Her face is on every news, her name is one of the most searched for topics on the internet and our house is always surrounded by reports, so our parents decided it's best if we avoid coming to the house in the meantime. "So, Gray. How are your parents taking the news?" I asked him while we were having dinner at my apartment. Thank goodness that the media still doesn't know our individual apartments. "No idea. I haven't talked or seen them after the party." He said while chowing down on his food. "Honestly, I was expecting them to confront mom and dad about the announcement during the party itself." Zab admitted and I kinda agree with her. It's unlike the Landers to suppress their opinions and I know firsthand what they think of Cam. "Nah. My parents wouldn't do anything harsh in public like that. They would never admit that they didn't know the plan because it means that they are not in control of the situati
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 95: Cravings and All That
"Are you ready mommy? Daddy?" My OB-GYNE asked as I lay on my back in a hospital bed. I have my first check-up today and both me and Gavin are super excited to finally see our baby. It’s scary but I also feel so warm and fuzzy inside. “Yes doc, daddy was so excited that he didn’t get enough sleep last night.” I said to the doctor and she just laughed at us as Gavin pouted at me. “Then let's get started.” She said then tapped the bed beside the machine, signaling me to lie down. I smile back at her and obliged as Gavin just followed. I laid on my back as Gavin held my hand while my doctor started putting some gel on the ultrasound apparatus. “Ohh.” I exclaimed right as she pressed the handheld apparatus on my exposed tummy and started moving it in a circular motion. “Let me see.” Doc mumbled under her breath as she continued the motion. “There you are.” She suddenly said. “Here we are.” She said as me and Gavin stared at the monitor. I couldn’t help but smile as I saw a small bab
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 96: Dinner With the In-Laws
I woke up with the sound of my phone ringing at the bedside table. Last night was a total blur, all I remember is the we had so much fun last night that the guys had no choice but to pick up their partners because apart from me and Andrea, everybody was wasted. I turned over to get my phone and Gavin instinctively pulled me back in an embrace. I barely manage to reach for the phone because of how tight he was holding on to me. “Hello.” I said to the caller as I put the phone on my ear without looking at who it was. “Zoe, honey. Good morning. How did you sleep?” I immediately recognized the voice. “Mom. Why are you calling so early?” I asked her as I stifled a yawn. “What do you mean early? Its already eleven in the morning.” She said to me and I looked at my phone and she was right. I was fifteen minutes past eleven. “Any way. I just called to invite you and Gavin to a dinner at the house tonight. I won’t take no for an answer, so be here before seven, okay?” She said to me and I
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 97: Wedding Day
Days turned into weeks, and now we only had one day left before our wedding day. I was really shocked when my mom told me the date of the wedding which was only a month away when they told me. Tonight, we are sleeping in separate rooms just because our parents are a bit old fashion. I mean we’re already gonna have a baby, what difference will it make, but we just let them be. They coordinated the wedding after all so we just followed everything that they say. “Do we really have to do this, love?” Gavin asked through the phone as he grumbled under his breath. “Our parents did everything for the wedding, so let’s just follow them.” I said to him but I could hear him mumbling complaints from the other line. “You know I can’t sleep properly without you by my side.” He said and I just couldn’t help but laugh at how childish he was acting tonight. “It’s just for a night, love. You can do it for one night.” I said to him and I could imagine his eyes rolling to the back of his eyes as he
Miss Perfect and Her New Boss 98: Welcome to the World
“Can you still go on, love?” Gavin asked me as we waited in front of the entrance to the venue. We’ve been running around the venue for thirty minutes after the ceremony to have the post-wedding photoshoot. I got changed into a more casual dress after the shoot in my grand wedding dress and took another round of photos before the photographer was satisfied that he got all the shots that he needed. Honestly, I felt wiped but I couldn’t pass off the reception, it's the best part of the wedding. “Yeah. I’m fine. I just need some sugar in my system, that’s all.” I said to him as I leaned toward him for support. He smiled down at me as he pulled me closer to him. “Then let’s get some food for you and baby.” He said with a wink before holding my hand tightly as the doors of the reception area opened. The people inside clapped as the host introduced us. The spotlights blinded me for a second but I continued to wave at everybody inside while we were walking towards the center stage. "I kn
