Prologue:    "Love, can you drop me off at Heavenly Memorial Garden?" I asked Yvo. We just had our lunch date as a mini celebration for our graduation today and now we're heading home."You'll visit Tito Lauro and Tita Elaine?" he queried while carefully maneuvering his car.I felt a pang in my chest the moment I heard my parents’ name. It always stings whenever I recall my memories with them."Yes. I want to show them my diploma," I almost whispered.All of a sudden, my heart felt heavy and I can feel my eyes tearing up."I’ll come—""No need, Love," I cut him off. "I promise you, I’ll be fine,” I assured him to ease his worry."Alright." He deeply sighed. "If that's what you want. Just be careful.”I nodded. "I love you, Yvo," I swee

 Chapter 2: Boss-   I faced the full-length mirror here in my room to check if I look presentable. I chose to wear a stretch grey sheath dress paired with a three inches stiletto. While I just let my ash brown wavy shoulder-length hair flows down as it is. I smirked. I'm good but I look pale. I took a deep breath then put some lip-tint on my lips. When I’m already satisfied with how I look, I went downstairs and said goodbye to my Aunt. I had booked a taxi earlier that is now waiting for me at the gate. “At the BXU Complex please,” I told the driver and he just nodded at it. I planned to continue my job-hunting today. I hadn't done that anymore yesterday because of what happened in the coffee shop. But I woke up this morning as I received a call from someone, informin

 Chapter 4: Blow  The next day, I was still drowsy leaving home for the signing of a contract and my first day of work at Cradford Corporation and Industries. My future boss hardly put me to sleep thinking about the last thing he said yesterday before I left his office. It's annoying that we only met just recently but he already got me affected by his presence. What more if I started my job as his executive assistant? We will be together most of the time.  I heaved a deep breath out of frustration. I'll just cross the bridge when I get there.  When I arrived at C.C.I Tower, I immediately went straight to the Human Resource Department. Fellice was already in Miss Soren's office waiting for me. Her voice woke me up this morning, telling me about the contract and that I'll be starting today.  

  Chapter 6: Trey       Both of us were just quiet the whole ride. His full attention was fixated on the road while I looked outside the window of the car—watching the scenery we passed by. Until I felt my eyes becoming heavy. Then, eventually, I fell asleep.   "Hmm," I hummed and slowly opened my eyes when I heard a clicking sound.   I softly rubbed my eyes to get my vision back because it was a little bit hazy. Then I slowly turned around to the driver's seat. But I was stunned to see that the person sitting beside me was gone. When I looked outside, I immediately spotted my boss who is now at the entrance of a Chinese restaurant.

 Chapter 8: Gentle  “What the fuck are you doing?” I quickly opened my eyes and automatically stood up when I heard his cold baritone voice. It's firm and I can sense danger in its tone. That's why my heart is pounding so fast.  Suddenly, I was sweating cold. I just bite my lower lip as my hands were shaking. Even my knees softened. I felt like I was a criminal who get caught doing something illegal and unethical. I looked away. “S-sir. . .a-ah. . .I. . .” I stuttered, unable to find an exact word to say. Then sec
