Amber PovAfter we got out of the canteen, I immediately withdrew my arm from Phil's grip. But he was holding my arm so tightly that I failed to get out of his grip."We are no longer in front of Melvin so you can let go of me, Mr. Salvatore," I said to Phil with a serious face.Phil frowned as if he didn't like what I called him."I really hate it when you call me like that. It's as if you want me to look like you're far away from me. That you only think of me as your boss," he said angrily after letting go of my hand."That's exactly what it should be. You are my boss and I'm your employee. That's why it's only right that I call you that out of respect," I answered him with a blank expression. "By the way, thank you for keeping me away from Melvin. If you hadn't kept me away from—""What? You will be forced to accept the marriage proposal of that idiot?" said Phil. He led me to speak even though that was not what I wanted to say to him."Yes. You're right, Mr. Salvatore. If you hadn
Amber Pov"Amber, are you okay?" Mildy asked me worriedly when she approached me where I was standing. There are few customers today so Mildy was able to approach and talk to me."I'm fine," I answered her in a lifeless voice."Is that what okay looks like? Ever since we came back from the canteen, your mind seems to be wandering. What are you thinking about? The marriage proposal of Melvin that you rejected or Phil and the woman with him?"I took a deep breath before facing her. "I'm not thinking about them, okay? I'm just too lazy to work right now," I replied to her."Oh! It's a miracle that my hard-working friend who thinks of nothing else but working and making money is now too lazy to work. What did you eat for a snack today?" Mildy asked me in disbelief."What did I eat for lunch today? Air," I quickly answered her. "I didn't eat much during lunch because Melvin suddenly proposed to me and I skipped snack too.""Speaking of Melvin, what are your plans for him?" Mildy asked, h
Amber Pov I woke up late in the morning so I walked hurriedly after I got off from the bus. Our manager will surely scold me if I'll be late even for just five minutes. I don't want my salary to be deducted because it's already a big loss to my budget. I took a bus to get here because it was the first one that passed in front of me. I didn't wait for the SUV to pass by because I thought I would be late if I waited any longer.I was at the end of the parking lot on the side of the mall when I suddenly stopped walking and stared at the old man who got out of the car. The car is facing my way, so if the people inside the car will look to their right they will see me approaching their car because I will pass in front of them. "Aren't you going to hug me, Amber? Don't you miss this old man in front of you?" the old man who was none other than Grandpa Fidel asked me in a sullen voice. "Grandpa Fidel!" I ran to him and hugged him tightly. I consider him like my real grandfather, that's
Amber Pov I couldn't stop my anger so I slapped Harlen. I put up with the bad words she says to me but it's a different story when she badmouthed Grandpa Fidel. She has no right to say those bad words against Phil's grandfather. "How dare you slap me!" Harlen snorted angrily as she held the side of her face that I strongly slapped. "That's not the only thing you will taste when I hear you again bad-mouthing, Grandpa Fidel!" I angrily threatened him. "Grandpa my ass!" Harlen hissed at me. "Why, Amber? Are you embarrassed that everyone will know that you're having an affair with a man who has four m's that's why you're denying it? A rich old man who's about to die is really your grandfather? And besides, You're a slut, Amber. You are seducing not only Sir Phil but also an old man who looks like he's going to die tomorrow?" Harlem insulted and laughed at me. My ears heated even more because of what she said. How dare she make played with Grandpa Fidel's life. She is too much. My h
Amber Pov"Are you all right, Grandpa?" I asked Grandpa Fidel worriedly as we got out of his car when we reached their house.After the commotion that happened earlier at the mall, Phil fired the father and daughter from their post. I, on the other hand, accompanied Grandpa to go home because he suddenly became weak after knowing the reason why Harlen and I fought.Phil wanted to go with his grandfather because he was worried about the old man's condition, but he had a meeting for the official dismissal of Harlen's father and then he was going to his other company, the Salvtore Conglomerate. He said that he has a meeting with the shareholders because his uncle Jigo is making another move to usurp his position.Uncle Jigo seems to be taking advantage of the fact that Phil is often away from the company because he was busy in the Sunshine Shopping Mall so he brainwashed the other shareholders in the company."I'm fine, Amber. Thank you for taking me home. And I'm sorry because I've caus
Amber Pov"You're drunk so you better go home, Melvin. Let's talk later when you're sober," I shooed him away. I tried to hide the nervousness in my voice at the moment.Melvin laughed slightly when he heard what I said. "Really, Amber? You're going to talk to me when I'm sober? Who are you fooling? You're even avoiding me and now you're going to say that we'll when I'm sober? I think we could talk now because no one will disturb us, especially that arrogant Phil.""Please go, Melvin. If you don't leave I'll be forced to call the police," I threatened him. I took my cellphone from my bag and was about to dial the emergency number of the police but Melvin quickly approached me and grabbed my cellphone away from me. He threw my cellphone on the floor so I couldn't use it."You think I'm going to let that happen?" he asked me, a devilish smile formed on his lips. This time I saw him as a demon who wants to harm an innocent human. "You're only mine, Amber. And you'll be mine forever aft
Amber Pov After Phil and I got back together he transferred me from my work. He made me his personal assistant. I lived in his house again because that's what he wanted. Grandpa Fidel and Karen were happy because Phil and I finally got back together. I begged Phil that when we were at work our relationship would be boss-employee only so that I wouldn't be singled out. I'm afraid that everyone will look down on me because I don't fit in with him. At first, Phil was against it but eventually, he also agreed to what I wanted. As Phil's personal assistant, I do nothing but make him coffee, help his secretary organize documents when there is a meeting, and accompany him to the party events he goes to. It's like I'm just playing around and not working but he's paying me. Even though I'm not used to attending parties, I'm forcing myself to get used to it because Phil often attends events related to his business just like today. Phil attended a charity auction party and tag me along. In t
Amber PovI walked into the entrance's hotel to return to the party so Janina won't have a chance to seduce my husband when I suddenly stop walking. I feel that pair of eyes are staring at me. Actually, I felt that someone was staring at me the moment I stepped out of the hotel and walked to the garden. But I'm not the only one standing in the garden because some guests are also in there so no one may look at me unintentionally so I just ignore that feeling. But right now, I really feel that someone was staring at me only.I quickly turned around my eyes and scanned the people near me to see if one of them was looking at me. But I didn't see anyone who looked at me purposely. I shrugged my shoulders and took a deep sigh. Maybe I'm just being paranoid.I decided to continue to walk into the hotel but at the corner of my eyes, I suddenly saw a familiar figure looking at me. "Dad?" I quickly looked at him to see if he really was my dad. But the man suddenly turned his back on me.My hea
