To say I was shocked was an understatement. It felt like I was struck by lightning and was beaten 24/7 upon learning that he was actually the boss of this company. I mean... I know he looks like one, but the last interaction we had had left a bad impression on him. I was such a fool! And now, this big of a boss was making me a slave of his!It has been my 5th day working as his secretary, and to say I was overly working was probably just a glimpse of the truth. I was treated like a slave! I was treated inhumanely.He made me go back and forth to his office, run some errands outside the company, and would make a call through the intercom for no actual reason? What does he want? Attention. Damn it.I know I was wrong for acting that way on THAT day, but he can't blame me. What he said that night was just below the belt and should not be said, especially if he doesn't know me personally, but then again, I was such a stupid and unreasonable person."He's a jerk!" I said under my breath a

"Ready yourself, you will be coming with me at my lunch meeting," he said.I blinked my eyes. "Y-Yes?""You heard me. We'll leave at 30, so you better start packing your things up otherwise I'll take you unprepared."I was still processing the event that happened just now and how that emotion flashed through his eyes. I mean, it couldn't just be my illusion, right?He looked kind just now."Okay..." I said absentmindedly and exited his office to mine. Sitting on my own desk, I slapped my face lightly to make sure I wasn't dreaming.The hell?I swallowed really hard.Strangely, my heart was pounding.I SAID WHAT he said and prepared myself. I brought my phone and the iPad with me and had a quick retouch."You done?" he asked after I entered his office. He was now fixing the cuff of his sleeve while stealing a glance at me.I nodded my head. "Yes, sir.""Good. Let's go." He just took the blazer he put on top of his swivel chair and wore it smoothly whilst walking straight to me.I gulped

I ate heartily inside his car. I wasn't even embarrassed at all and was only minding my own business. I hugged him due to being overjoyed, but it meant nothing but gratefulness. He wouldn't possibly think something about it, right? Besides, hugging is a normal thing to do for us in our family. We're all verbally and physically vocal to any of our family members.But he's not a family, though.Anyhow, I should not think about it too much. My stomach has been throwing tantrums ever since and I was starving to death! I should mind my own world, not the others.I ordered a full pack meal set, extra large fries, pasta, and a large sundae. On the other hand, Khein got himself a burger and an ice tea."Thanks for the treat, Mr. Jones," I said for the 3rd time whilst munching my food. I couldn't help but feel grateful. Lately, life has been so difficult for me that I find it too hard to treat myself out. I spend most of my money on my groceries as well as my rent, transportation, and Joni's fo

My heart began beating violently against my chest. The proximity of our bodies were so dangerously close that I could literally feel the heat of his body radiating off of him. His chiseled chest rose up and down as if he was having a hard time breathing. His jaws were clenching hardly. I am afraid his bones will soon break.I looked at his face through the blinding disco lights around us. Even through the darkness, I could literally see how handsome he was. His hair wasn't slicked up like it usually looked like. His thick brows were furrowed, an obvious indication that he was internally having a battle of thoughts. His sharp nose was just perfect, and he had those cheekbones that looked perfect on him.He's a fine looking guy."S-Sir...!" I heard the man who harassed me said with fear laced upon his voice. As if I was back to my reverie, I blinked my eyes and looked over my shoulder to see the man looking so pale like a bond paper dull with any ink. It was as if he had seen a ghost whi

"Not everyone would like to sleep with a woman like you..." His words echoed in my head like a broken radio repeating the same record again and again. It haunted my mind even after I went back home."Not everyone, huh?" I uttered under my breath. "I am beautiful and desirable. Who wouldn't desire having me?" I added.Only a blind and a real faithful man would be uninterested in not sleeping with me. I have the beauty that exceeds any standard. I have a body like an hourglass that a lot of people die just to have. My family's genes are like genes blessed by the deities themselves. So why did he say that? Am I not pretty enough to be desired?Am I... unlikable?Boring, perhaps?Well, I couldn't disagree with the latter. I am rather a boring woman that hinders people from loving me completely. If it wasn't only for my face, I don't think I would be able to get a bit of respect from anyone.Even my own family didn't think of me as someone lovable enough not to be compared to my sister.Bi
