Chapter 1
Thainah's Pov
I was brought back to reality when Boss pushed me. I felt again the electricity I always feel when he touches me.
I want to taste his lips even for a moment Hey, Thainah" I looked at him and quickly walked away.
boss" he looked at me worriedly.
are you okay?" he asked and I nodded I'm okay, Boss."
As I was saying, I'll have a dinner date with my fiancé tonight and I want you to be there and please don't talk about my s*x life with her when she asks you." he said.
I rolled my eyes
yes, Boss." he chuckled
You're cute" he said and squeezed both my cheeks.
"I'm not cute boss, I'm beautiful and please get your dirty hands off me maybe that's where that came from."
This is our attitude towards each other, in front of me Boss is kind but when in front of others he is like a soldier who can't smile.
"You talk like I'm not your boss" he pouted, I shot him.
"Because you don't deserve respect! You have almost bedded all models already!" I hissed.
He raised an eyebrow at me.
"You're jealous?" he asked while grinning.
I blushed but I didn't show that I was affected too much.
"I'm not jealous" I promised.
But the truth is I'm so jealous to the point that I want to imprison you inside my house so you'll never see other women.
"You're womanizer Boss, you're cheating on Ma'am Kaye" I told her.
"I'm not cheating, it's called man needs and it's normal." he reasoned out.
"Man needs are not every day" I argued.
It's true, why does he really have to interact with women every day for his needs?
"I can't do anything about it. I'm Zephyr Yosef Allistair and I am a part of the Billionaire's Club, women will really chase me" he defended, smuggling.
Alright, Boss Zephyr" I agreed boringly.
There's nothing I can do and I'm not really going to win this fight.
When the afternoon came, I went home first, I said goodbye to Boss. I just went to their Restaurant where they will meet Ma'am Kaye. It hurts to think but the man I love is about to get married.
I want to cry but I can't do anything, it's his decision.
When I entered the house I saw my gay brother. Graduating in Arts and Design. She wants to be a fashion designer someday.
"Hey! RafRaf!" I called him, he looked at me.
"Hello there, my beautiful sister! But I'm still more beautiful than you! How's your work with your Boss? You just need to get down on your knees!" she asked.
Yes, she's the one I use with her, it's embarrassing for my beautiful sister tsss.
When he admitted that he was gay, Papa and I had no objection, Papa loved us and where we were happy, he was also there. He is also one of my reasons why I need to work right away. She and Tabia, our youngest sister who is already in high school. Mama died when she gave birth to Tabia so now Papa is grating for us, even a construction worker came in for us, so his eye was damaged because of the dust and churva at the construction site.
Where are Papa and Tabia?" I asked as I landed the bag on the sofa.
Tabia was with her lover Ethan, then Dad bought groceries" she replied.
I smiled. I am very grateful to Boss. Because of him, our house was made of concrete. Everything my siblings and dad want I can give. We already have fish in the market, Dad manages. Papa's eyes are also fine and I owe Boss a lot. Because if he hadn't hired me then, Papa's opera would have lasted even longer and I also needed money then for RafRaf and Tabia's tuition.
I lost my smile when I came back because of everything RafRaf said.
"What did you say? Where is Tabia?" I asked again, my ears getting hot.
Sister" he grinned and smiled.
I clenched my fist and took a broom. I left the house and went to Ethan's house.
Sister ! Wait!" RafRaf chased and weaned me but I didn't stop.
Tabia will really find what she's looking for, she'll beat him for to me when I see her at Ethan's house.
I wore a comfortable dress, a simple sunny dress paired with sandals and a sling bag oh Thainah
I also have a french braid, I'm not Boss's date but I want to experience that he can date me but when can I? He just sees me a his trusted secretary.
I sighed, heavily.
I went downstairs, I saw RafRaf doing something and Tabia focused her face on the iPhone I bought for her last month, I was still stocking it up.
I'm leaving" I said goodbye.
Son, eat first" I turned to Dad to come out of the kitchen.
I approached and waved.
It's very dark outside, Son. Where are you going?" Dad asked
"In—" before I could answer it was Tabia who answered.
"Papa is going to make you fragile" said Tabia while still focusing on the cellphone.
I really want to strangle the girl toh! Thrilling!
"Don't believe that, Papa. I'll just go out, Boss will take me on their date with his fiancé" I said.
It really hurts! I love that! I'm really dead to Zephyr Yosef Alistair member of Billionaire's Club.
"Suss! I can't believe it!" hinted by RafRaf.
This is another reversal! I want to choke thrilling flesh!
If you don't stop, you have no extra pocket money this end!"
The two immediately changed their faces and became silent. It's just the opposite of these two.
"This isn't funny!" RafRaf's excuse, the gay is afraid of losing money.
I love you, Sister!" Tabia, on the other hand.
I was just shaken.
Just come home early, Son, don't stay up too late. I want you to come home at ten o'clock, is that clear?" Dad, I sighed.
Papa, I'm not a child anymore" I said to Papa, even though I'm 23 I still have nothing to lose to Papa.
What's wrong? Maybe you want to spank you! Even if you're 40, I can still spank you, come home early! You'll be really amazed!" I just scratched my head so hard.
Yes, Papa" I said and left the house.
When I entered the Restaurant I couldn't help but smile because of the music. It's "Til I Met You"
I searched the table where Boss was. Boss and I caught sight of each other but I didn't show my trembling, nor did I show that I was affected by the sight of our eyes. I walked towards them, smiling while still looking at Boss who was still looking at to me. Right after the song I was close to them. I looked at Ma'am Kaye.
"Good evening, Ma'am" I greeted, she smiled and nodded.
"Good evening, Thainah. By the way, what are you doing here?" he asked to me.
I looked at Boss who was in the food staring and seemed to be deep in thought.
“Boss” I call him.
I don't even know why I'm here, he wants me here that's why I'm here. Even if it hurts..
He immediately looked at me, I signaled to him. He immediately got what I wanted to say.
Boss looked at Ma'am Kaye.
"I want her here" Boss replied which made my heart beat.
He wants me here? Why? To show that I have no hope in him? Thickness of peyslak! I adjusted my eyeglasses and sneezed weakly.
G*go.
I saw the astonishment on Ma'am Kaye's face. Ma'am Kaye was kind so I never once did the show of motive to Boss. I know I’m beautiful and I’m more beautiful than Ma’am Kaye. Many are saying to me. Boss and I are a Love Team because we seem to be married. Boss and I were more suitable and of course I was thrilled — who wouldn't be thrilled.
He has things to discuss with me, Ma'am Kaye. You know your fiancé, Ma'am. He's even harder than the buffalo" I said proudly and bitterly, I just want him but I can't.
Didn't you, Boss?" I looked at Boss.
He immediately complied and nodded
Oh, Yes. We have something to discuss, Hon." Boss replied while looking at Ma'am Kaye.
My heart pounded as I watched the two of them. I've loved Boss for two years, but he's been with Ma'am Kaye for five years. Luge me. He is the one I love just to help.
I just let them sit at the table near them again. I just ordered a glass of wine. That's all to look at them again. My heart is squeezing. I could hardly breathe in pain. They are both happy while I am hurting.
I smiled bitterly.
Tears welled up in my eyes so I avoided looking at them. I reminded myself of looking outside. It's raining. Time seems to keep pace with the bitterness I feel.
Thainah's Pov
I stopped drinking when someone stopped in front of me. I looked up at him.
Wants me to join you?" he asked, I stopped smiling and just sighed.
We're not in the bar, Evander" I said in front of me.
Evander is my college ex. Now he is flirting with me again. Sometimes he comes to our house. He is already a Doctor. Good for him. He cheated on me before but now he's flirting with me again.
I saw him sit in front of me. I made a face.
"Are you following me?" I asked irritatedly, he just shrugged.
"Nope. I was in a meeting earlier then I saw you walked like a goddess, in front of everyone. Don't you know that the hearts of the people here have almost burst, Thainah because of you?" i rolled my eyes.
I don't care" I said at the same time my eyeglasses were fixed again.
You look beautiful with your eyeglass" he said while looking at me.
He looks serious, I snorted.
"Stop me, Evander. If you don't want to hit me" I threatened him, he chuckled.
I'll visit your father tomorrow" he stated, I gaze him with a dagger look.
I'll punch your face tomorrow" I threatened him then he chuckled again.
He was always with us every week. It's his free day. He's annoying! He is like a leech with a strong grip.
I'm courting you again. Thainah" I grimaced You cheated on me before. Do you think I'll believe you again?" my cold question.
The fun disappeared from his face and became serious, guilt flashed in his eyes.
"That's why I'm courting you, I've only been courting you for a year" he complained, I gaped. I can't believe this life! Jusmeyo!
I didn't tell you to date me!" I gritted my teeth I love you, Thainah. From then until now. You still are. I'll do everything to win you back. You're mine from the beginning and I intended to be your last" he said and I frowned.
Evander is handsome but I have already moved on with him. What I want now is my Boss I have no hope.
That's crazy" was all I could tell him, he smirked Yeah. I'm crazy, crazy in love with you" then he winked, I just smiled at him.
Evander really knows that in the brain.
I ignored him and just looked at Boss's table.
I straightened up when I saw they were gone, I felt pain and anger! He's the one who comes here and then he'll leave me here too! I look at my wrist watch. It's already ten, I need to go home now.
I would have stood up but Evander spoke up
Where are you going?" he asked
I'll go home" I replied.
I'll take you home" he said.
Let me take have a one-hour dinner with you before you go home" he added.
Papa wants me to be home at ten" I told him, he knew Papa and when Papa told me to go home early I should really go home.
"I'll take you home so don't be worried, I'll tell your Dad later why you took so long." he added
This is something I don’t like about Evander. He is very tough. He didn't even follow my Dad when we were dating. He was always at our house but Dad only noticed him once. He hasn't even taken me on a date because Dad doesn't want to. He respects my father but sometimes he wants what he wants and I don't want that I need to go home" I said and stood up, he grabbed my wrist when I finally stood up Okay fine, I'll take you home" he stood up, I would have refused but I couldn't speak when I heard the familiar voice.
I'll take her home so back-off" my lips parted and I looked at Boss who was already on Evander's side. The face is dark. Did they fight with Ma'am Kaye?
I'm his boyfriend" Evander said warming my head
The thickness of your!
I don't care. I'm his Boss and she's my employee" Boss said coldly.
I feel like I'm being belittled by what he said. Oh right! I'm just his Secretary.
Evander looked at to me.
Is that true?" he asked, confirming.
I just nodded, he nodded.
Okay. I'll see you tomorrow, Thainah. I'll go first" Evander said and left. Boss and I were left alone
We stood quietly. I don’t know what to say. I feel like I have committed a sin.
Your boyfriend?" he asked coldly.
I am innovating. I'm used to his cold voice but not when to me. He was cold to others but not for that reason. This is the first time he used his cold tone to me.
I took a deep breath before speaking.
No, Boss. He's just a friend" I answered with my jolly voice.
I looked at him, my throat tightening when I saw how dark his face was. Bad mood. I think Ma'am Kaye and I had a fight and I seem to sympathize with her anger.
He looks so unconvinced.
Really?" he asked again with his cold tone Are you jealous?" I asked jokingly
I don't know" he muttered.
I lost the smile on my lips. My heart was beating fast. I felt a strange sensation because of his answer. I saw him shake. Let's go, I'll take you home." he said and pulled me out of the Restaurant.
I feel like my heart will explode in panic. Does he want something for to me? Omg yieeeee
