Chapter 11
1122 Words
AFTER their meeting. The handsome man she admired earlier remained.
"They seem so close." She thought while watching her boss talk to the handsome man. They are talking about business. As for her understanding, the man was a lawyer, and his name was Tyeron Bon Vanderburgh. Her boss hired him to create a contract agreement about an advertisement offered by their company, and so far, the hotel owner has accepted their offer and agreed to have a contract with them. So they only have one day to stay at this hotel, and they will return to Nevada.
At night, she was surprised to see her boss leaning on the refrigerator.
"Get dressed," he ordered seriously.
She raised her eyebrows because she could not believe what she was hearing.
"Is there another meeting again?" She asked in confusion.
"Nope, just change; don't ask," he responded gruffly.
"Hmmmp! He's being grumpy again!"
She noticed that her boss has not been in a good mood since their meeting, and his silence is killing her. Although he might not have been talkative back then, his silence at this moment is unbearable. She remembered him pulling her away from Tyeron when Tyeron came to her to ask a question, and she can't forget how surprised Attorney Tyeron is at what her boss just did. Maybe he did not expect Mr. Maximo did such a thing, but he did.
She sighed and walked, but she stopped when...
"Don't forget to wear your panties." Her boss told her
She doesn't know how to react—should she get angry or happy because, finally, he spoke, but just to tease her? She just rolled her eyes and entered the bathroom to take a half bath.

THEY are inside a car; her boss is currently driving while she's sitting beside him, watching his solemn face. When she got tired, she looked in the mirror and realized Cebu City has more pleasant scenery at night than in the morning. There were so many lights that captured her interest and eased her boredom. After a few minutes, she suddenly felt sleepy, and she couldn't help but close her eyes.
She woke up when something warm and soft touched her neck and chest.
"S-sir–hmmp–"
She couldn't finish what she was going to say when he immediately shut her up with his lips. He bit her lower lips as if he were trying to punish her by doing it. She also felt his hand squeezing her boobs, and the other one was holding her waist tightly so she wouldn't go away. She thought he wouldn't stop, but to her surprise, he buried his face in her neck and put his big arms around her tiny waist. She didn't know what was on her mind, but she hugged him back, and she looked outside to check. It seemed that they stayed in the car until 4 a.m.
"Where are we?" she asked softly.
"On the Naga Boardwalk."
Naga? Omg! It's a nice place, with a wide boardwalk and a beach. She gently pushed him so she could see if they were really on the Naga Boardwalk, but her boss did not let her get away.
"Don't! I'm sleepy," he said, pulling her closer.
"Why? You haven't slept yet?"
"Right."
Did he just drive until the morning? It seems he did. She didn't say a word anymore, and she let him rest. She asked her boss to get out of the car, walk around, and watch the sea. The air is cold as it touches her skin. Mr. Maximo holds her hands tightly as they walk.
"Why did you bring me here, boss?" she asked, smiling.
She was happy because they managed to get there before they left.
"I just wanted to relax," he responded.
She nodded and looked around. She noticed that the sky was still dark. If they had a relationship, she could say that the atmosphere was very romantic. They stopped walking and stood in front of the railing on the boardwalk, where they could see the seawater. She looked at the sea and the sky and took a deep breath. She also closed her eyes to feel the freshness of the air. This place is beautiful; it's a good place to refresh your polluted mind. She turned her gaze to her emotionless boss. She blinked her eyes twice when he suddenly walked backward and stopped behind her, and to her surprise, he put his arms around her waist and his head on her shoulder.
"Much better," he whispered in her ear.
If someone sees them, they will probably think that they are married or a couple.
"How can I avoid you if you keep pulling me closer and closer?" She wanted to ask this question, but she does have enough courage, so she just kept her mouth shut.
She put her hand in his hands, and her other hand was in his hair, and she gently stroked it.
"Hmmm," he muttered. It seemed he liked what she was doing, so she continued.
"Let's wait for the sunrise; I miss watching the sunrise, can we?" She asked in a soft voice.
"Sure," he agreed.
They remained in that position until sunrise. That moment is romantic and makes her wish it would not end. It's the first time in her life that someone has brought her to the place she's been dreaming of visiting.
"Are you hungry?" her boss asked her when they were walking toward the car.
"Yes, you?"
"Alright, let's eat breakfast in the nearest cafe here."
They traveled until they reached the nearest cafe, named Pink Heaven. Like a while ago in Naga, Maximo held her hands as they entered the coffee shop, and she noticed that there were no other customers yet, maybe because it was too early. They took a seat first then she ordered a heavy meal with drinks and dessert like chocolate cake.
They waited for their order for about 30 minutes, then their order was served, and they started to eat.
"Sir, the flight is tomorrow at 1 pm; shall we go directly to the airport or not?" she asked when she was done with her food.
Her boss adjusted his seat. "Yes, I already bought our stuff."
"Try this chocolate cake, sir; it's delicious," she said, offering him one spoonful of chocolates.
Instead of accepting her offer, he leaned forward and kissed her on the lips. It was just a smack, but it was enough to make her face turn into a tomato.
"Yeah, it tastes delicious and sweet at the same time." He smiled and licked his lower lip.
"Such a flirt!" She couldn't help but comment.
