Chapter 1

Should I call Jacobo and ask for help? Ero is blackmailing me! I can sense it, but Jacobo is too busy today. He mentioned that he would be tied up with back-to-back meetings.

And what if I tell Jacobo about this? What would he do? Will he help me silence Ero, or will he leave me and go back to his wife? God! That can't happen! I won't be able to survive without Jacobo by my side.

I am really into him, and I love him so much. He's the only one I have. My mom and dad left me because they have their own families to care about. Jacobo promised me that he will leave his wife and child someday and marry me, and we'll spend the rest of our lives together. So I am holding onto that.

I sighed and decided to call Ero again. After five rings, he finally answered. "Yes, Babe?" he said. I really wanted to tell him, "Yes, Babe, that's what your face looks like!" but he might get annoyed and show the picture to Mrs. Smith.

For sure, she would cause a scene, and the news of me being the other woman would spread throughout the entire subdivision! What would I face in front of my neighbors? What would Mommy and Daddy say when they find out about this? Not that they even check up on me, but they might ignore me even more once they find out. I took a deep breath and reluctantly spoke to Ero on the other line.

Ugh! He's so annoying and meddlesome! He has no connection to Jacobo and me, so I don't understand why he feels the need to interfere! I didn't do anything to him!

"Where are you? Let's meet," I said. I heard him say, "Woah, chill," but I could clearly hear the teasing tone in his voice. "Wow, babe, you missed me that fast? You just saw me earlier," he replied. I sighed and clenched my fist in anger. "Come on, Ero, I'm not playing games with you," I pleaded. "I'm serious! Where are you? I need to talk to you." He audibly sighed on the other line.

"You're head over heels for me, huh? Fine, since it sounds like you missed me that bad, I'm here at my house." I didn't respond and quickly walked out of my house towards his.

I saw him immediately at the main door of his house, leaning against the side, smirking with his arms crossed. Psh. It's already evening, and he's still topless? Doesn't he feel cold, this meddling demon? I flinched when I realized I had been staring at his defined chest and eight-pack abs for too long.

Did I just embarrass myself in front of him?! I ignored his annoying grin and approached him quickly. I glared at him to hide my embarrassment.

"What do you want?!" I asked him directly.

"I'll keep my mouth shut about your affair, but in exchange, I'll have you..." He paused and looked at me from head to toe, making me self-conscious and my face turn red. "...and your sexy little body."

"You're going to be my secretary slash girlfriend." My eyes widened at what he said. Okay, being his secretary would be fine, but a girlfriend?! Ew, that's gross!

I looked at him from head to toe, and when I returned my gaze to his face, he raised an eyebrow at my action. "Eww! I don't want to be the girlfriend of a filthy man like you! You're a dirty man!" He gave me a disdainful look, but I ignored it.

"Every day, different women come in and out of your house! For sure, you have AIDS, HIV, and STDs!" He smirked at me, and this time his gaze lingered on me from head to toe. I couldn't help but feel self-conscious, as if he had x-ray vision.

"You know," he said to me, "you're just wasting your bra." I noticed that he stared at my chest for a while, so I automatically crossed my arms to cover my chest. He laughed at my action.

"Wh-why did you bring up bras in our conversation?!" I angrily shouted at him while glaring. If my gaze could kill, he would have died by now.

"You're only an A cup. Why are you even wearing a bra? You can go without it since you look... flat-chested," he laughed. I immediately approached him and started hitting his arm.

"Pervert! You're a pervert!" I said to him. He didn't stop laughing, and it seemed like my hits didn't affect him. I stopped when I got tired, and it seemed like my hands hurt more than his arm did. His arm was so firm.

"But seriously, Ken, I really need a pretend girlfriend right now. Many girls are chasing after me since my dad passed the company to me. I'm the new CEO, and girls are coming to my office non-stop, claiming that I've impregnated them, which I haven't because I'm always prepared."

I squinted my eyes at his words. "That's still not enough reason for me to say yes, Mr. Bachelor!" I said sarcastically. This guy wants to use me to escape from the women he has disrespected and impregnated! What if they team up and hunt me down, and the next day my lifeless body is found floating in Burnham Lake?

He grabbed his phone and looked for something. "Maybe this photo..." I noticed he took a longer look at it and showed it to me. "...would be enough to convince you, no?"

Chapter 3

"Waaahhh! Pervert! Goddammit, you maniac!" He was holding his fully erect junior, and there was some white stuff on it. What was that? Sperm? Cum? Whatever! My innocent eyes are no longer innocent!

"Wait, why didn't you just let me go home? Why did you have to lock me in here? I don't want to be here! Let me out, you demon!" I complained to Ero as he suddenly pulled me into his mini-bedroom in his office, saying that I should stay here until his dad leaves.

"Do you really think Dad would believe me if I introduce you as my secretary?" he asked irritably, looking at me from head to toe. To hide my embarrassment, I glared at him and slapped his chest. It felt like I was the one who got hurt.

He's so hard! Wait, why am I even thinking that? I suddenly remembered what Ero said, and I nodded in agreement. That's exactly what I was thinking earlier. I sighed and sat down on the bed.

"It's your fault! You insisted on making me wear this! I look like I'm working at a club rather than being a secretary—" I couldn't continue what I was about to say when Ero suddenly covered my mouth and gave me a look that seemed to say, 'be quiet.'

"Ero, son, where are you?" Is that Ero's dad? Why does his voice sound so familiar to me? Ero whispered to me before he removed his fragrant hand from my mouth.

"Don't make any noise," he said, and I nodded in response. "Stay here, I'll be back when Dad leaves." I nodded again and was taken aback when he softly pressed his lips against mine. I realized they were Ero's lips. Along with that came a strange rush of heartbeat and butterflies in my stomach after he kissed me. I found myself staring at him for a moment, wishing the kiss had lasted longer.

The next thing I heard was the clicking sound of a door being locked from outside. Ugh! I won't be able to get out because he locked me in here.

I touched my chest and could still feel my heart racing. Slowly, I raised my hand to my lips without even realizing it. I had to hold back a scream when I remembered the scene I stumbled upon in his bathroom.

I remembered how he was holding himself, then he covered his hand with his mouth! Fuck! This is so stupidly gross! That Ero is disgusting! God knows what he was doing there before I walked in!

But his dad's voice sounds so familiar, just like Jacobo's. I sighed, maybe I just miss him so much that I mistake Ero's dad's voice for his.

Speaking of Jacobo, I looked at my phone to check if he had sent me a text, but there was still none. Last night, he told me that he would accompany his amazing wife to visit his in-laws' ranch because he missed them so much. His wife is such a drama queen. I wonder how he can tolerate her.

When Jacobo and I become husband and wife, I'll make sure our relationship won't be dramatic. I won't have to visit my parents in the province because they're already in another country with their new families.

My mom married a white guy, and they live in California with my stepbrother. As for my dad, he's in Canada with his new wife and their two stepbrothers. I am just a result of a one-night mistake. So it's no wonder I grew up with my grandparents, my mom's parents.

Ero's dad has already left, and that guy wasted no time dragging me towards his mini living room set. "Martha is on her way here," Ero said seriously. "Do something to shoo her away." I raised an eyebrow at him and glared. After locking me up for almost three hours, how dare he order me around without even offering me food?!

I ignored him and turned my back on him. It's already three o'clock! That means it's past lunchtime. Did he expect me to be thrown into the tiger's den right away? What a meddler! He deserves a good slap!

"Kendall, I am talking to you! Don't turn your back on me!" he yelled at me and then violently pushed me in front of him. I was also so annoyed with him that I pinched his hand that was holding me so that he would let go of me.

"Don't call me Kendall, Kendall, can you? Go to sleep! You're not in another country, so don't speak English to me! It's three o'clock in the afternoon, you locked me up for a long time and I still haven't- lunch! Instead of giving me my lunch break, if you can order me around you think who is the king!"

I didn't miss the shock that was registered on his face, probably because I yelled at him, but I don't care anymore. Annoying! Guess who, yes, he is super-hot and handsome, but he has the same attitude! He's a walking demon!

I stood up abruptly from my seat and walked out of his mini-bedroom, but I stopped in my tracks when I saw a woman. She was extremely fair-skinned and wearing a red dress shorter than the one I was wearing. She was also wearing stilettos, with her arms crossed in front of her ample chest. When our gazes met, she raised an eyebrow and looked me up and down.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes. She may look beautiful because of her fair skin, and she may appear sexy because of her revealing outfit, but if she thinks she can scare me with her exposed flesh, she's wrong. "Who are you?" she asked me rudely, and because of my intense hunger and frustration, I blurted out whatever came to mind, taking the side of that annoying demon, Ero.

"Ero's girlfriend." I looked her up and down. "So, if you really fear God and don't want your skin and body to be completely ruined, leave now!" I shouted at her. She swallowed hard and quickly ran towards the exit.

I sighed when she was finally gone. When I turned around, I noticed a man clapping behind me, with an amused and almost admiring expression on his face. He was handsome, but he seemed foolish to find joy in what I just did.

"Wow! What a performance! You managed to chase away Martha so quickly," he said to me. I didn't respond and went out to find the canteen. I was starving.

--

When I returned to Ero's office around four thirty PM, Miss Curtis told me that Ero wasn't there, and despite my reluctance, I, as his secretary, still asked where he went. She said he was in a meeting.

I nodded and went straight to my working table. I furrowed my brow when I saw a large square red box on the table. It was a box of cake, based on the brand name written on it. There was also a note, sarcastically written, so I picked it up and read it.

'Job well done. I hope next time you can shoo away more girls who want to see me. I'll be out of town for two days. See you soonest.'

-EM

I immediately opened the cake box and smiled when I saw that it was an ube cake, my favorite! And here come those butterflies in my stomach again. What's with them suddenly appearing every time? Are they hungry too?

I sighed deeply. I have no idea why I'm feeling this way. It would be better for me to go home now and enjoy this ube cake. I suddenly had a strong craving for it!

"Where are we going?" I asked Ero when I noticed that we were taking a different route. "I thought you were going to drop me off at my house?" Now, we were heading towards the downtown area.

"We're going to eat dinner first," he said while keeping his eyes on the road. "I don't want to have dinner with you!" I glared at him. "I need to go home because Jacobo will be there!"

Finally, after the longest week of my life, Jacobo returned from his in-laws' ranch. He stayed there longer because they had a family reunion. Unfortunately, Ero had to blackmail me with a picture he took just so I would pick him up at the airport!

Instead of cooking pasta for Jacobo, which was my plan, I couldn't continue because I wasted all my time waiting for Ero at the airport. He texted me at 3 PM to go to the airport because he was already there, but he actually arrived at 6 PM.

Damn it! I made a fool of myself waiting for him at the airport for three hours! I even tried to go home first so I could cook the pasta, but the guards at the airport blocked me, saying that Ero instructed them not to let me leave. You can see how terrible this guy's attitude is!

"I still need to cook pasta for Jacobo, and it's already 7 PM!" I sighed deeply. "I should have been home before 8 PM because he's going to be there soon, and I don't want to ruin this dinner with him after a long time of waiting." I crossed my arms over my chest.

"If you're hungry, you can eat alone. Just park the car and I'll take a taxi home," and this time, I finally faced Ero. I was about to say something else, but he suddenly got out of the car. Thankfully, I had my seatbelt on, or else I might have kissed his windshield due to the force of his braking.

"Will you shut the fuck up?! And can you fucking stop talking about that guy!" he yelled at me. What's wrong with this guy? Why is he suddenly so angry and taking it all out on me? I didn't do anything to him!

"He's not just any other guy! He has a name, and that's Jacobo, so can you—" I couldn't finish my sentence as he abruptly got out of the car. He circled around and came to my side, opening the car door and removing my seatbelt himself.

He was breathing heavily. It meant that he was still extremely angry but was trying to control it. "Ero, where are you taking me?" I calmly asked him, but it seemed to make him even angrier. He didn't answer and dragged me into a lobby.

I didn't immediately notice where he was taking me; suddenly, we were in front of a large hotel. He tossed his car keys to the valet and we proceeded to the elevator.

Chapter 3

"Oh what happened to you? You just went outside and transformed into a horse?" Katastrophe wasn't satisfied yet, he came closer to me and then raised an eyebrow at me. I raised an eyebrow at him and ignored him.

Probably, probably when I told him that the idiot Justin just named me that his dog is so cute because of the length of his ears, it's good to stop those ears, what a pity! Really sweaty! What is the problem with him and he named his dog after me? Is he teasing? Or maybe I look like a dog in his eyes, so when he got a dog, he followed your name.

Wait a minute - I remembered that he didn't like dogs, did he? What happened? Why is he my dog ​​now? In terms of people change! When I saw that Katastrophe and I had breakfast ready, I went straight to the table and almost ate everything he cooked, but he complained that there was only a little breakfast left for him.

When I entered the office, I immediately frowned when I heard the sound of running water. You know that sound that sounds like me taking a shower? That's what I hear. My heart immediately panicked and I suddenly realized.

Maybe it was my water pipe that suddenly exploded inside Justin's office! Even though I was very bad trip with him because of what he did to obey my name, his dog's name. I still have to do my work!

I went to the office early today because Mr. Thompson I'm not allowed to malate. They said that I was late yesterday and that was the first and last. That's why there's no second thought if you entered Justin's office.

It's difficult, what if my important documents are already soaked in water because of the broken pipe, right? When I finally got inside his office, I didn't see anything wet. I even approached his working table and just like that I winced when I saw the pile of papers that he had to read and approve.

Chineck, it would be good if the leaking water is right here in his office, but it doesn't seem to be there.

I turned my eyes around the whole office because I could still hear the splash of water until my eyes caught the door that was on the right side of his office at the far end.

You won't notice it right away because the door as well as the handle are the same color as the paint on the wall of his office. I slowly walked closer to it, and then I put my ear to the door and I heard the splash of water.

Maybe it's okay with Justin that I go into his bathroom, right? Totally, he is not here yet and it is for work purposes! That's why there was no doubt if I touched the doorknob and luckily it wasn't locked, so I turned it to open it and when I was able to open it completely, I confirmed that this is where the gushing water was coming from.

"The D!" / "Aaaaahhh!" I was immediately taken aback while Justin cursed. I also covered one hand over my eyes but the peg was fill in the blanks because I could still see Justin's naked body! My God!

Kupal is hot! Her legs are sexy, muscular and hairy and her legs are obviously white! As for me, my legs are only light brown, I'm always jealous of her skin color. Huh! Little by little, I looked up and it was too late for Justin to tell me –

"Don't look!" – but I've seen that –

"Ayy! Too bad!" To my surprise, I even jumped and stared again at Justin's disgust. As fat as a mushroom, but the size of a giant mushroom, his head looks like a mushroom. Urgh! I can't do my work properly because I can't get Justin's white mushroom out of my mind!

I feel like I can pass as the tinder of mushrooms and tomatoes! I can feel my cheeks heating up and I'm sure they're red right now.

Fortunately, after that embarrassing scene with Justin, he never left his office. He didn't give me orders either, so I just did my job as his secretary, answering calls, then booking an appointment and emailing him his schedule.

Around eleven AM, Justin's office door suddenly opened, which is why I straightened up from my seat. Miraculously, he came out of his office at this time. What can there be? I immediately felt the reddening of my cheeks and ears when our eyes met.

I fully thought he would go to someone else, for which I would have been very grateful. Of course, every time I see him I remember that awkward moment we had earlier! Then here's the image of his giant mushroom in my mind. I even swallowed one after another when I turned my gaze to the middle of his legs, I wouldn't even have looked away if I hadn't heard the successive tastings.

I simply removed my gaze from the middle of her thighs and tried to turn it to her face in case of angina! Now that I'm looking at his head, I'm imagining something else! Justin and I in a room and –

"D amn! Joanna, will you f ucking stop day dreaming of me? Its working hours." Justin ordered me authoritatively. My nose twitched at what he said.

But even though I bit my lower lip, I might not have been able to stop myself if I asked him how he knew that I was daydreaming about him? I immediately shook my head and then looked away from him and then answered.

"Take your things, we're going to visit Site four." He said to me and when I looked at him again he had his back to me while walking out of the office. Site four? Where is that? Hey, I don't know, just follow it and maybe that bastard will leave me!

I got into Justin's car again and like yesterday, he made me sit in the shotgun seat again before we even left Smith House. I even got a taste of his sermon because I thought I was going to ride in the passenger seat behind me.

"What the f uck Joanna! I am not your gooddam n driver! Move out your pretty a$s there and seat here!" And then he pointed to the shotgun seat. That's why now we're on the way to Site four wherever it goes, I'm frowning.

It's really good and the site he mentioned is quite close to our office, which is why our trip only took a few minutes. When he finally parked his car in a wide lot, I immediately got out of the car and looked around the whole place.

Many construction workers are busy with their work, there are also large types of vehicles that are used in building construction. My fellow workers who looked at our behavior and I couldn't help but wonder, why did Katastrophe lend me a skirt again but it looks like a mini-skirt for a party and not for the office. Geez!

Someone murmured while looking at me and I could do nothing but look away. I'm not used to being the center of attraction, especially for men. Suddenly I feel like I want to go back inside Justin's car and pretend I'm sick. If only those little people could look at it! I'm like food they want to eat! Gulf. Gulf. Gulf. And that's how I was surprised by –

"What are you looking at?! Go back to work! D is!" Justin's English was perfect while he was looking at the workers and when I turned to them again, they were no longer paying attention to me, they were all busy with their own work again.

I turned to look at Justin, he was looking at me badly, he wasn't satisfied yet and he looked at me from head to toe and then he frowned at me. My nose continued to sneeze. What did I do?!

"Let's go, I have an urgent matter here with Engineer Lopez." And then he turned and started walking. Of course, I immediately followed him when he stopped, of course I didn't expect that so my face bumped into his back.

"Damn it! Your back is so stiff Justin." It was too late that I realized what I said. I bit my lower lip and held my breath as he slowly started harping on me.

There was no emotion on his face, which made me even more nervous until –

"I am your Boss, Miss Cruz so treat me like one." Then then next thing I knew he was too far away from me. He was already talking to the workers he scolded earlier while I was still stuck where I was standing. How is it that he really emphasized the fact that he said 'Miss' and my last name.
