The Marriage Contract Chapter 32
The whole meeting just went smoothly and I was just beside Keandrick, taking down notes on the important matters. And when we finished, the two guys shake their hands to close the deal. I stand up when the two guys both stand up.I guess the businessman here is his business partner and they just made another deal. Fucking millionaires."Thank you for your cooperation," Keandrick said as they shake hands.The businessman was I think just around his 30s already. Not bad though. He looks dashing in his coat. Looks mature enough."It was an honor to work with Saavedra Inc.," said the other party. The businessman then look at me and smiled which I returned and give him a slight bow to show respect.Keandrick and I went back to his office and I was just behind him, following him. I took a glance at my wristwatch while walking and saw that it was already noon. Lunchtime. Time flies so fast when you are busy doing something. I even heard my tummy growling, telling me that I need to eat and th

I CAME BACK to Keandrick’s office and saw that Darwin was still there. They were talking about something that I didn’t know about so I didn’t mind them and just put them on the table near the couch where Darwin was sitting.“There you go,” I said as I put the plastics on the table. “I didn’t know what food you guys will like for your lunch so I just grab the food I think you’ll like eating for today. I couldn’t call any of you two because I don’t have your contact number,” I explained and that’s the truth.“That’s okay, Audrey. I think this fried chicken is the best. I didn’t take any breakfast and I am super hungry right now.” I chuckled at Darwin’s statement before he quickly dig in.That made sense. Looking at him right now, keeping himself busy with the food, I could say that he is indeed hungry and I think that he was more hungry than me though. I gave Keandrick the food that I bought for him but he just stares at the food on his table like it was the most disgusting dish right n

ANOTHER LESSON I learned in life, is that when you are mad, you should avoid talking because you might burst out. By bursting out your frustrations, you can also hurt someone. And when you hurt someone, it is too late to ever turn back time again.I gulp hard when Keandrick takes another step and my feet seem like they have their own lives and that they took a step backward. One more step backward and I felt something cold against my back. And when I glance at my right side, that’s when I thought that I had nowhere to go. I felt the cold wall against my back and I don’t know what to say. I just burst out with my frustrations due to fatigue from my boss! And he’s not just an ordinary boss. He is Keandrick Saavedra!What am I thinking?!I just shouted at Keandrick Saavedra!Panic started to register in my system at the thought that he might not sign my clearance for my finals. This job will serve as my final exam! My performance here would be my grades! What if he’ll fail me?! Oh god, I
The Marriage Contract Chapter 35
After what happened yesterday at the restaurant, I still don't know how I will be able to face Mr. Saavedra. I mean, I just shouted my frustrations to him yesterday! Now, even though he said that he's not mad, I still feel nervous. Like... What if he just said that and surprised me today that I'm already fired, right? That's possible because I've read that in some books.The thought that he would tell me later that I was fire, made my heart beat faster than normal. I facepalm in my recklessness. You're so dead, Audrey. So dead...If not for my college diploma, I wouldn't be worried this much because I could still find a job. But god, this is for my college diploma that's why I am this nervous as hell!Lord, am I gonna repeat my last semester in my last year of college? I don't have any savings if in case I'll repeat the semester.I have already called all the saints I could call to spare me the trouble I created. I noticed that as the graduation was nearly approaching, all the bad luc

"Meeting ajourned," said Keandrick Saavedra. We are in a very important meeting awhile ago with the boards and it was now past two in the afternoon when we finished. I quickly grab the notebook along with my pen and iPad and ready to leave the meeting room. I followed Mr. Saavedra as we both leave the room and I quickly opened the iPad with me to see about some reminders and other important meetings for today while walking behind his back, following him."Sir—" but then, I hit my forehead to something hard when the man in front of me suddenly stop walking. Aww that hurts. I caress my forehead with my right palm and lift up my gaze only to see Mr. Saavedra's eyes bore into me with his forehead crease. "S-sorry, sir," I uttered and bowed my head a little. "You have another meeting with the supplier of the materials for the next project in about 30 minutes sir," I added when I lift up my head. I take a grip of the strap of my shoulder bag in my right shoulder.The man in front of me ju
The Marriage Contract Chapter 37
If I would describe Keandrick Saavedra, it would be 'straightforward' because he literally is. When I was just starting to work for him, I would describe him as ruthless in the field of business world and I didn't know that he could just confess things like that yesterday. It was way beyond my imagination already. I couldn't move on up until today. I don't know what am I going to say after that unexpected confession from him and I silently just thank the heaven when the supplier arrived and the supposed meeting started. Gladly, Keandrick Saavedra acted natural and normal even after that confession to me. He even insisted to take me home at Bella's condo when the meeting ended. I just feel like I am walking in a cloud nine after that. The known businessman just confessed to me?! Who you.But I don't want to assumed things easily though. Maybe he just... likes me for my hard work, right? Well, maybe that's the case. "I decline the deal, Mr. Lim.""What? But why?" Mr. Lim wiggled his

After we finished eating, Keandrick insisted on taking me home to Bella's condo but I suddenly panick when I noticed the time when I take a glance at my wrist watch. It's almost 6 PM already and I still have my shift at the coffee shop. Gladly that I already ate, I'll just eat light meal again if I feel like I'm hungry again. "Umm... Just take me at the coffee shop. I still have night shift," I started to cut off the silence and felt Keandrick turned to me. When I take a glimpse at him, I noticed how his brows furrowed while looking at me intently. Confusion was written all over his face but I just avoided his gaze."You're... Still working at night?" I heard him uttered, curiousity was evident in his voice.I silently nodded, "Hmm... It'll be finished at 10 PM," I replied without taking my eyes off the view in front. The car were still not moving."Shall we, Mr. Saavedra? I'll lead the way. Don't worry sir, it's just a few meters before the building where I am staying." He nodded an

"Ah, I'm so tired!" Bella mumbled as we both drop our bags on the floor and exhaustedly drop ourselves on the sofa and tightly close my eyes.We just came home at Bella's condo from our shift at the coffee shop. The number of customers tonight was countless. There are lots of them. Some stayed at the shop to review maybe because the finals is coming. On the other hand, Keandrick also message me when he got home to his parents which I find it unusual for him to do it. It's the first time he message me to update his whereabouts and I couldn't get the idea for of him updating me. Meh, it was beyond office hours already. My face crumpled at that thought. I tightly close my eyes to rest myself for a bit due of exhaustion."You hungry?" I uttered, enough to be heard by the girl beside me. "Nope," she replied, popping the letter 'p'. "I want to rest now. I'm sleepy," she added and I heard her yawned. I nodded. "Same."I get up and pick my bag that I just drop on the floor and went to my r
