My Sexy Boss

Chapter 11 Emergency

Chapter 11 EmergencyCALIX and I haven't talked that much when we left the Del' Torre corp. He didn't bother to ask if I'm okay or not. I let out a few sighs and completely closed my arms because I seemed to be deaf to his silence earlier.

"What do you want to eat for our late lunch?" He stare down at me so I can sit up. I then looked down at my wristwatch. It was past one o'clock in the afternoon so I could feel my stomach boiling.

"Anything," I replied.

I just let him take me wherever he took me and we headed to a famous restaurant.

I want to smile because this was our first time eating out with Calixto. If this can be said, I am probably the happiest woman in the world.

But again a deafening silence broke out between us as we ate. I reluctantly leaned back in my chair and drank the Juice which I immediately lowered so that made a slight noise.

My lips twitched as he caught my attention. "Don't you like your food? We can order new ones," he said smoothly.

I just shrugged my shoulders and did not want to take the fork to spread the sweets in front of me.

How romantic isn't? I laugh at the back of my head. This man is impossible! Is he numb or what? I just hissed so he glanced at me again.

"What is it?" He slowly put down the cutlery he was holding and wiped his mouth slightly while staring at me.

"Nothing ..." My voice sounds lazy.

"Uhum?" He didn't seem to believe it because he still smiled in front of me that I was staring at him.

But suddenly I was able to sit up and immediately backed away when he approached me from the other table.

One by one the redness on my face rose because of what he did. I could not move immediately, I couldn't breathe and I can't say anything. Is this it? Will he kiss me? My heart seemed to be screaming. I was about to close my eyes when he suddenly spoke.

"Is that how you eat?" Suddenly my imagination was cut short because he patted my forehead and smiled at me.

I still couldn't breathe when he touched the edge of my lip with a tissue so I bent down.

"Here, wipe." He handed me the tissue he was holding.

"T-Thanks." I hesitated again. My gaze deepened on the slice cake in front of me. Why is there so much icing on this cake?!

"Go to work tomorrow." He began to lean back in his chair to continue eating.

I just nodded at that thing. But what he said next slowed my world down.

"I'll assign you to a morning shift," he said. He waited for my reaction before speaking again but he closed his mouth in shock.

"Eight sharp in the morning you should be in the Restaurant." He continued. He leaned back in his chair and wrapped his arms around his chest.

"Why?" I can't help but question. I looked up at him and met his gaze on me.

"Why, what? I'm your boss.." He glared.

"Damn. I know Calix! What I'm asking is why? Why do you have to move me in that shift?" I try to calm down because I know who is in front of me but I just can't stop the pain.

"You're too hot in the media, I don't want my business to get in trobluble because of your Issue."

"My Issue? Because of the Issue between the two of us?" I have a clear question.

He laughed.

"You really mean that?" He laughs again.

"Yes!" I said boldly. "It is Calixto. You are avoiding me because of the Issue that we both have," I said straightforwardly.

He stopped laughing because I'm now serious.

"No, It is not." He shook his head at me then drank the glass of water in front of him.

"If not, then why?" I want to cry in front of him because he ignores how I feel.

"It's just because, business is business. I don't want to ruin whatever I started. I hope you understand that, Cherry."

I swallowed again but there seemed to be a sore in my throat so I could not speak.

"Don't worry I'll go to Restaurants tomorrow morning to check on you there. Tricia will take care of you." He stared into my eyes, but I really couldn't stand it so I closed my eyes and at the same time I could not hold back the tears.

"Excuse me..." I suddenly stood up and left him without saying a word.

"Cherry, wait!" I heard him calling me but I went straight out of the Restaurant and quickly took a taxi to get home.

There I shed tears. I ignored the driver turning to me because I kept crying. Why is it so painful? In fact, it was not a big deal if he moved me in a shift, but the reason why he did that is what cuts in my heart. He did not even admit it but I knew that was the reason.

"Dad, I'm already here..." I said reluctantly and went straight to my room. I quickly got dressed and went out again to get some cold water but I was so furious by what I saw.

"Dad?" I run out color when I saw him lying on the floor.

"Dad!" I shouted loudly.

****

"Dad ..."

I shuddered as I looked out of the glass window. I did not realize the drop of tears on my cheek as I stared at him in the hospital bed.

"Miss. Banaag?" Dad's Attending physician woke me up.

"Doc, how is my father?" I saw her sigh as she squeezed my hand.

"I will tell you, he is not in good condition. He needs to undergo an operation as soon as possible. Mr. Banaag's heart continues to get enlarged and he needs a heart transplant."

It was there that I burst into tears and glanced at Dad who was oxygenated and closed his eyes tightly.

"I told you this before, he can no longer be taken home and continue treatment there. It is too risky to postpone his operation again," she kept saying.

"Is there no other way?" I tried to ask even though I already knew the answer to that question.

"You can sign a waver. It's all I can do right now," she answered sadly.

I bit my lip hard and gently covered it for the accent of crying.

"Think about it first and if you have already made a decision, I will only be in my Office." She gently stroked my shoulder before leaving me.

I nodded slowly and wiped away the tears. Without strength I sat in the waiting chair from outside the room and there closed my eyes firmly.

Where can I get that much money for Dad's dad's surgery? If only the medicine was enough for us?

There my cellphone rang and my forehead frowned because of the unknown number calling. Though hesitant, I answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Hi babe!" He's wearing his sexy voice that didn't escape me. My hair stood on ends because it was still breathing on the speaker.

"Where did you get my number?" I frowned when I recognized Rexon's voice.

"I have my connections. So meet me up tomorrow morning at my house. I'll send you my address."

"What?! Wait, no!" I protest but he suddenly disappeared from the line so I was trampled on the floor due to annoyance.

"Damn you Rexon!"
