Chapter 3

(Thainah's POV)

Papa seemed to like the answer of the two.

"Alright, what we're going to do now is drink a lot of wine."

"Dad!" we shouted as siblings, the two just laughed.

"Yes, don't. Go ahead and I'll cut some wood first" Papa stood up.

"I'll help you" said Evander to Papa.

"Bala kayo dyan" I heard Tabia say and left to go to the bathroom.

Papa smiled at Evander.

"Is it okay!" Dad said.

"Papa! There is no water! I think the water has cut us off!" I heard Tabia shout.

I looked at Papa, he was scratching his head.

"By the way, I forgot to pay yesterday" said Papa.

I sighed and stood up.

"I'll just go to the post!" I shouted at Tabia.

"I'll help you" said Boss suddenly and stood up, I was startled.

He knows how to draw. I looked at her expensive clothes. He might get wet, he still looks like he has thousands of clothes.

I waved my two hands at him.

"Don't worry, I'm the Boss. Stay here, wait for me here." I told him, I was afraid of the price of his clothes.

"I want to help" he insisted.

"Leave it, Ate. Just get naked Boss" RafRaf said flirtatiously, Boss smiled at him.

"Thank you" RafRaf's face turned red and seemed to melt

"Kyahhh! Really handsome!"

I've been wanting to fight this RafRaf for a while now, maybe Boss will think that I didn't teach my siblings manners and what I'm teaching them. That's really it, right? When you are the oldest, what your siblings did is a reflection of you because you are the oldest. You are their model.

"Ethan and I have the same body, RafRaf. First, let this Boss of your sister borrow some clothes for it" Papa ordered RafRaf, RafRaf immediately screamed.

"Another handsome and hunk! Kyahhh! I had a great day!" he still screamed.

RafRaf was about to walk out to go to Ethan's house when Tabia suddenly pulled him back.

"It's just me, Papa. Kuya Ethan and I are closer," Tabia said and ran outside.

"Just wait—" RafRaf said but nothing was done because Tabia had come out and headed there.

"Your family is good, they are kind and colorful like you" Boss whispered which gave a strange sensation to my body.

Is it because even if he just compliments her, she seems very sexy? My heart was beating fast.

"Thank you Boss." I answered shyly.

(Thainah's POV)

A little while later, Tabia came back with basketball shorts and a dress with a button in the middle chest. Provincial dress. While Papa and Evander were outside. Chopping wood. Evander is also dressed in his home clothes because he is said to have brought an extra t-shirt. He is always like that.

I waited outside the bathroom for Boss while I got dressed inside. I stood up when he came out of the bathroom.

My mouth fell open and my eyes were almost fixed on him. Ackkk he's really handsome pot*ngina!

I got back into the habit of Tabia elbowing me.

"Sister you are drooling" he said.

I quickly felt my mouth but there was no saliva, I hit Tabia.

"Stop me Tabia!" I threatened him with annoyance.

"It's true, Sister! If you look at your Boss, he seems to be the most handsome of all!" he still yelled at me.

I felt annoyed.

"He's really handsome!" I still screamed.

"That's why you have a crush, right?!" Tabia is back.

"Yes!" I shouted.

Tabia and I stopped when someone took a bite from our side. I turned that way. B-Boss! My face turned red. I forgot he was there.

I want to eat on the cement now because of the shame I feel. I looked annoyed at Tabia who was now smiling.

"Late but not jail!" he's still pissed about it.

I was about to hit him again but he immediately ran away from me.

It went up while I couldn't face Boss. I kept thinking about how I would deal with him in the company.

"So... You have a crush on me, huh? Since when?"

I really want to be swallowed by cement, how can I face him and answer his question like that? Jusmeyo! My heart races like a horse.

"Thainah, look at me." he commanded and because I was used to obeying his orders, I faced him.

I regretted facing him. He looks like he won in a lottery. Is it true that I see joy on his face? But she has a fiancé.

"Now answer me, do you like me baby?" he asked seductively.

I swallowed hard, my whole body was shaking now.

"B-Boss" I called him hoarsely.

"Hmmm?"

"Let's go" I said and turned away from him.

I quickly left the house and took my seat. I can't really breathe because of my heart's pounding.

What is he doing with it? Does he want me to fall for him even more?

I saw Boss come out of the house wearing his smug smile.

Our eyes met but I immediately looked away. I guess my cheeks are red.

He came near me and I felt like I melted. My knees weakened because of the way he looks at me.

"You're blushing" he said.

I hit him in the eye.

"Che!" I said and I was interrupted by the teasing.

I will fill the bucket and he will carry it to the bathroom.

"You're beautiful as always, Thainah Ryl Harris"

Boom! I fell more.

(Thainah's POV)

I took a deep breath before entering Boss's office, I still can't move on from what happened last night.

Shame! I slide the door to open. I immediately saw Boss's face. My heart beat faster but I ignored it. I must show or make it seem that it is not there. I put the folders on his table. My throat itches especially because I can feel his eyes on me.

When I put down the folder, I fixed it. I looked at him. He's grinning like a crazy one. I tasted it.

''You have a contract signing at 10 am with Mr. Lim and meeting with the board at 11pm to 1pm'' I said firmly and professionally, his thoughts were really different.

He nodded.

''Cancel the meeting'' he said and I'm shocked.

Just now he canceled the meeting, even though he and Ma'am Kaye had a date, he really prioritized the meeting so I was really shocked.

''P-Po?'' I can't believe.

''I have things to do. Cancel the board meeting, I have a walk at that time'' he said, I nodded quickly.

''Okay Boss'' I said and turned around, I was about to walk out but I was stopped when Boss spoke.

''You'll come with me'' he said, my eye widened as I turned at him.

"W-Why me?" I asked in shock and wonder.

Even I was surprised by my question, like duh! You're his secretary, what do you think? Date?

He raised his eyebrows as if he didn't like my answer.

''Why not you?'' he firesback and I'm like... Dumbfounded.

Yes, why not you? You are the secretary.

I fixed myself, I was embarrassed.

''Yes, Boss'' I said and turned back but he spoke again.

''By the way'' I turned again at him.

What again?! Doesn't he have a face that makes you fall in love? It's hard to hold back!

''What? Boss''

''Refrain on calling me Boss outside, just Zephyr—''

''Zeph!'' we shouted at the same time.

Zeph is better, he's the boss.

Wait, what's happening to me?

I saw him grin, sh*t!

''Zeph then'' he said.

I didn't say anything and turned away. I quickly left his office. I held the part of my heart. I could feel my heart beating really fast. Very fast. I breathe a deep breath. I returned to my seat and did what Boss told me to do. I canceled the Board Meeting. We will only do contract signing now.

I finished my work right away. Boss and I are also here at a restaurant. Contract signing. I am with Boss and support them both with the contracts.

"Your Secretary is so very active and eligible, Mr. Allistair'' praise of Mr. Lim, I smiled at Mr. Lim

''Thank you, Sir'' I said formally.

''Do you have a boyfriend, Ms. Secretary?'' he asked, making me stare.

I was startled when Boss landed on the contract.

"I don't want to sign this contract. This meeting is adjourned. Let's go, Thainah" he said coldly.

He quickly pulled me so I immediately took our things. We are leaving the restaurant. I looked again at Mr. Lim, looks shocked.

Boss pulled me until we got into the car. He got into the Driver's Seat.

''What did you do Boss? If you sign that contract, Our company will be in eas—'' I was silenced when he hit the steering wheel. His jaw is tight and he seems to be calming himself down. What happened to him?

It was okay earlier...

''Our Company doesn't need them. That f*cking man is not a lost! So please shut up!'' he said annoyed.

I kept quiet and didn't speak.

I heard him cursed and I don't know why he's angry. We were silent on the flight until we arrived at the Allistair Condominium. He also owns it. (Still Thainah's POV)

''Get out'' he said, I quickly removed the seatbelt and arranged my things.

I was quiet until the exit. I don't know why we are here but I don't want to ask. His scream at me was still painful and fresh. I just followed him until entering his Condo.

In the two years I've been working, I've only been able to enter his condo. I stopped admiring his Condo. He might scold me again.

''Sit down. I'll get you something to drink'' he ordered so I immediately sat down on the couch.

The softness. I just sat quietly. His condo is big. There is also a second floor. It looks like the rooms are there. The living room is spacious and the lighting is also chandelier. The tv is big. There is also a large kitchen that is as big as our living room at home. It has an island counter. There is also a counter and there are displayed wines there. It's like a real house.

There is social mineral water in the container. Boss presented it to me.

''Drink this'' he said.

I nodded and took the water. I drank it. His water seems to have flavor. Strawberry flavor!

I don't know where to put my eyes because he is right in front of me and he is mesmerizing.

''I want you to cook something for me'' he ordered.

''Y-Yes, Boss'' I answered.

I quickly got up and went to the kitchen. I looked for his refrigerator and saw a large wooden cupboard.

''That's my refrigerator. Open that and you'll see the ingredients. I want it so good, Thainah'' he said.

I nodded, still not looking at him. I went to the fridge and got some things to cook.

I cooked Adobo. I feel the presence of Boss behind me who looks like he's watching me cook. I was tempted to look at him but I stopped myself. I was busy cooking dishes. I won't increase it too much because he will be the only one to eat. I can put the extra in the fridge for him to heat up tonight. After I finished cooking, I prepared the table. I removed the apron I was wearing and fixed it where it was placed.

I looked at Boss. He just looked at me. It seems that something is bothering him.

"B-Boss, do you want dessert?" I asked.

Why does he have to look at me like that?

He shook his head.

''No. It's fine'' he answered while looking at the dish.

I tried to smile even though I really didn't want to smile. (Still Thainah's POV)

''Eat, Boss.'' I said and he just nodded.

I just looked at him until he sat down, he looked at me.

''Sit'' he ordered again, I shook my head.

''I'm still full, I ate breakfast'' I refused.

The truth is that I haven't eaten yet. I'm early today because I thought my relationship with Boss would be going well. I was excited and then it just happened like this.

He frowned.

''Sit and join me'' he said again, I shook my head.

''I'm really full.'' I refused again, why is he so stubborn?

He raised an eyebrow at me.

''Do you want me to beg for you to join me, Thainah?'' he asked.

''No''

I sat down and ate quietly. We ate well. Boss seems to have manners with food. He doesn't talk when he eats. Ma'am Lucia really raised him well. That's why he's a billionaire. When we finished, I washed and cleaned. He looked at me again.

''Are you mad at me?'' he suddenly asked, I faced him.

''No Boss'' I refused.

I'm not mad at all, I'm just afraid that he'll yell at me again. I don't know why he was angry earlier but I feel it's my fault.

''Then why are you so silent? I'm not good at it'' he said.

What does he think of my mouth? Talking machine that keeps talking?

I bow down. Thinking of something to answer. My thoughts stopped when he spoke again.

''I'm sorry if I acted like that. I shouted at you, I didn't mean to. I'm just pissed off of that Man!'' he said annoyed.

''W-You have nothing to be angry about.'' I said softly while bowing.

''He asked if you have a boyfriend! Damn it! Do you really think I would let him?!'' he hissed.

I bit my lip. My heart is pounding. What does he want to convey? He looks like a jealous boyfriend.

''It's not a big deal, Boss''

''D*mn not!'' he groaned.
