I am in love with him for 2 years now and I intend to love him forever! I will enter Boss's Office. My chest tightened when I saw a woman leave the room. I know what they did. They had s*x inside and it's f*cking hurts. I composed and collected myself before I entered the Office. You can do this Thainah! I cheered myself up. When I entered the Office, I immediately saw Boss. He was fixing his clothes. I smiled to get his attention and adjusted my eyeglasses that weren't too thick. "Boss, this is all the reports for this month. Mr. Fausto wants to set a meeting with you. He wants to expand his land with your help" I informed. Our company sells a property, everyone who wants to do business in the Philippines comes here to us. My Boss is f*cking Billionaire and I'm proud. I have been working for him for 2 years now. I was 21 years old when I applied here. Fresh graduate. I remember talking to him for the first time and immediately caught my heart. —FLASHBACK— I entered the CEO's Office. I'm nervous because I don't know if I'll be accepted. I just graduated and my father needs me. He needs to have an operation. I don't want Papa to go blind. I need to get this job. I am applying to one of the biggest companies here in the Philippines. When I entered his office, my heart could not stop beating fast and strong as I laid my eyes on the most handsome I've ever seen. "Sit, Ms. Harris" I realized in the voice of an employee. I nodded and sat down. I don't know where to look. Is it his beautiful eyes or his beautiful body or his whole soul. Ackkk he's so handsome! My throat felt dry when he looked at me. "I will ask you directly." he said "Why are you applying for this job? Are you confident that you fit for this job? Are you deserving to be my secretary." he asked I don't know what to answer first but there is only one thing in my mind and that is what I will answer. "I'm not sure if I deserve this, Sir" I answered and his eyebrow went up. "But I do know that I need this, and I believe that if you need something, you'll do everything to deserve it." I answered like a beauty queen. I saw him smiling. He stood up. I just looked at him. Waiting for an answer. I want to bang my head. What kind of answer did I give? This is my first interview and I'm not shy. I'm intelligent. I graduated as Cumlaude. "You're hired and we're going to meet investors right now, Ms. Harris." he said and I found it sexy. Calling me, Ms. Harris. That's how he caught my eyes. He's responsible, strict, and always deadly serious. He bedded so many women. I don't even know how much it is now. He doesn't choose a place. Map Office, Hotel, Condo or what ever.
Chapter 1 1
(Thainah's POV)
I came back to reality when Boss shook me. I felt the electricity again that I always felt when he touched me.
I want to taste his lips even for a moment.
"Hey, Thainah" I looked at him and quickly walked away.
"B-boss" he looked at me worriedly.
"Are you okay?" he asked and I nodded.
"I'm fine, Boss." me
"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 of my cheeks.
"I'm not cute boss, I'm beautiful and please get your dirty hands off me maybe where else did that come from."
This is our attitude towards each other, Boss is nice in front of me but when he is in front of others he is like a soldier who doesn't know how to smile.
"You talk like I'm not your boss" he pouted, I hit him back.
"Because you don't deserve respect! You have almost bedded all the models!" I hissed.
He raised an eyebrow at me.
"You're jealous?" he asked while grinning.
My face turned red but I didn't show that I was too affected.
"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 to Ma'am Kaye" I said to him.
"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 need to talk to 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, girls 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.
(Thainah's POV)
When the afternoon arrived, I went home first, I said goodbye to Boss. I just went straight to their restaurant where they will meet with Ma'am Kaye. It hurts to think, but the man I love is about to get married.
I want to cry but there's nothing I can do, 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 is your job with your Boss, if you're not enough, you'll be on your knees!" she asked.
Yes, I used her on her, because it's embarrassing for my beautiful sister tsss.
When he admitted that he was gay, Papa and I had no objections, Papa loved us and where we were happy, he was there too. 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 a kayod for us, he also hired a construction worker for us, so his eye was damaged due to the dust and churvas in the construction site.
"Where are Papa and Tabia?" I asked while placing the bag on the sofa.
"Tabia was with her lover Ethan, then Papa went grocery shopping" he answered.
I smiled. I owe a lot to Boss. Because of him, our house is made of cement. Everything my brothers and dad want, I can give them. We have fish in the market, Papa is the manager. Papa's eye is also fine and I owe Boss a lot. Because if he hadn't accepted me then, Papa's opera would have taken longer and I also needed money then for RafRaf and Tabia's tuition.
My smile disappeared when I thought back to everything RafRaf said.
"What did you say? Where is Tabia?" I asked again, my ears burning.
"A-ate" he grimaced 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 chased me but I didn't stop.
Tabia will really find what she's looking for, she'll beat me when I see her at Ethan's house.

Tabia will really find what she's looking for, she'll beat me when I see her at Ethan's house.
(Thainah's POV)
I wore comfortable clothes, a simple sunny dress paired with sandals and even had a sling bag oh thank you Thainah ata.
I also have a french braid, I'm not Boss's date but I want to experience him dating me but when? He just sees me as his trusted secretary.
I sighed, heavily.
I came down from the living room, I saw RafRaf doing something and Tabia's face was focused on the iPhone that I bought for her last month, I was saving it.
"I'm leaving" I said goodbye.
"Son, eat first" I turned to Papa who came out of the kitchen.
I approached and took the manual.
"It's very dark outside, Son. Where are you going?" Dad asked
"Sa—" before I could answer, Tabia answered.
"Papa is going to be fragile," Tabia said while still focusing on the cellphone.
I really want to strangle the boy! Terrifying!
"Don't believe that, Papa. I'm just going out, because Boss will take me on a date with his fiancé" I said.
It really hurts! I love that! I'm really dead to Zephyr Yosef Allistair member of Billionaire's Club.
"Suss! I can't believe it!" listen to RafRaf.
It's another mistake! I want to strangle my flesh!
"If you don't stop, you won't have extra money this end!" I'm hungry
The two's faces immediately changed and became silent. It's really just the opposite of the two.
"This is no joke!" RafRaf's excuse is that the gay man is afraid of losing money.
"I love you, Sister!" Tabia on the other hand.
I just shook my head.
"Just come home early, Son, don't stay up too late. I want you to be home by noon, is that clear?" Dad, I sighed.
"Papa, I'm not young anymore" I said to Papa, even though I'm 23, I still don't miss Papa.
"What's wrong? Maybe you want me to beat you! Even if you're 40 years old, I can still beat you, come home early! You're going to be really pissed!" I just scratched my head.
"Yes, Papa" I said and left the house.
(Still Thainah's POV)
When I entered the Restaurant, I couldn't stop smiling because of the music. It's "Til I Met You"
I looked for the table where Boss was. Boss and I met our eyes but I didn't show my excitement, I didn't show that I was affected by our eyes meeting. I walked towards them, smiling while still looking at Boss who was still looking at me. Right after the song I was able to approach 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 her.
I looked at Boss who was eating and looked like he was thinking deeply.
"Boss" I called 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 understood what I wanted to say.
Boss looked at Ma'am Kaye.
"I want her here" answered Boss which made my heart beat.
He wants me here? Why? To show that I have no hope for him? The thickness of peyslak! I adjusted my eyeglasses and sipped softly.
G*go.
I saw the surprise on Ma'am Kaye's face. Ma'am Kaye is kind so I didn't show my motive to Boss even once. I know I'm beautiful and I'm more beautiful than Ma'am Kaye. Many people say that. Boss and I are indeed a love team because we are like husband and wife. He said Boss and I are more suitable and of course I was thrilled—who wouldn't be thrilled, right?
"He has things to discuss with me, Ma'am Kaye. You know your fiancé, Ma'am. He is more hardworking than a buffalo" I said proudly and bitterly, I want him to be mine but I can't.
"Right, Boss?" I looked at Boss.
He immediately obeyed and nodded
"Oh, Yes. We have something to discuss, Hon." Boss answered while looking at Ma'am Kaye.
My heart was stabbing while looking at the two of them. I loved Boss for two years, but he and Ma'am Kaye have been together for five years. I'm luge. He is the only one I love.
I just let them sit again at the table near them. I just ordered a glass of wine. That was the only thing that looked at them again. My heart is squeezing. I can barely breathe from the pain. They are both happy while I am hurt.
I smiled bitterly.
Tears formed 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.
"Want me to join you?" he asked, I stopped smiling and sighed.
"We are not in the bar, Evander" I said to the person in front of me.
Evander is my college ex. Now he is flirting with me again. Sometimes he comes to our house. He is now a Doctor. Good for him. He cheated on me before but now he is flirting with me again.
I saw him sitting 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 almost spit, Thainah because of you?" I rolled my eyes.
"I'll use it" I said as I fixed my glasses again.
"You look beautiful with your glasses" he said while looking at me.
He looked serious, I snorted.
"Stop me, Evander. If you don't want me to hit you" I threatened him, he chuckled.
"I'll visit your father tomorrow" he stated, I gazed at him with a dagger look.
"I'll punch your face tomorrow" I threatened him then he chuckled again.
He is always with me every week. It's his free day. He's irritating! He is like a leech with a strong attachment.
"I'm courting you again. Thainah" I grimaced.
"You cheated on me before. Do you think I'll believe you again?" I asked coldly.
The fun disappeared from his face and became serious, guilt flashed in his eyes.
"That's why I'm courting you, I've been courting you for one 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. It's still you. I'll do everything to win you back. You were mine from the beginning and I intended to be your last" he said and I winced.
Evander is handsome but I have already moved on from him. What I want now is my Boss, I have no hope.
"That's crazy" was all I said to him, he smirked.
"Yeah. I'm crazy, crazy in love with you" then he winked, I just grinned at him.
Evander really has something in his brain.
I ignored him and just looked at Boss's table.
I straightened up when I saw that they were gone, I felt pain and anger. Come on! He is the one who sent me here and then he will leave me here too! I looked at my wrist watch. It's already ten, I need to go home now.
(Still Thainah's POV)
I was about to stand up but Evander spoke
"Where are you going?" he asked
"I'll go home" I answered.
"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 said to him, he knows Papa and when Papa says I'm going home early I really should go home.
"I'll take you home so don't be worried, I'll tell your dad later if you're late." he said more
This is the one thing I hate about Evander. He is very tough. He didn't sometimes follow my Papa when we were still playing. He was always at our house but Papa only paid attention to him once in a while. He hasn't even taken me on a date yet because Papa doesn't want to. He respects my father but sometimes he wants what he wants and I don't want that.
"I have 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 was about to refuse 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 by Evander's side. The face is dark. Did he and Ma'am Kaye fight?
"I'm his boyfriend" said Evander which made my head heat up
The thickness of your peyslak!
"I don't care. I'm his Boss and she's my employee" Boss promised coldly.
I feel small because of what he said. Oh right! I'm just his secretary.
Evander looked at him.
"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 behind
We stood silently. I don't know what to say. I feel like I have committed a sin.
"Your boyfriend?" he asked coldly.
I am changing. I'm used to his voice being cold but not with me. He is cold to others but not to me. 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 tightened when I saw how dark his face was. I think I'm in a bad mood. I think he and Ma'am Kaye had a fight and I seem to sympathize with his 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.
My smile disappeared. My heart beat fast. I felt a strange sensation because of his answer. I saw him shake his head.
"Let's go, I'll take you home." he said and pulled me out of the restaurant.
I felt like my heart was going to explode in shock. Does he like me? Omg yeeeeeee
(Thainah's POV)
"Sister, you look like an asshole" RafRaf told me while I put the food on the dining table with a smile, I gave him a hard time.
"Don't ruin my mood!" I am interested in him.
I'm in a good mood and then my gay brother will ruin it?! Heysss!
"Sister, did something happen to you last night?" Tabia asked while taking a hot dog.
This one is also gossipy.
"What are you, sister?" RafRaf suddenly asked so I immediately hit him on the head.
"G*ga! Just eat! I'll kill you when Papa hears your craziness!" I warned them, she smirked.
"Papa, Ate oh, she gave iy*t to her Boss!" RafRaf shouted, I quickly slapped his mouth.
"You're so g*ga!" I said while he was rubbing his mouth that I slapped.
This is really my brothers headache!
"Sister, is it good?" Tabia asked, I raised my hand so she was silent.
"You're still one! You're so young!" I shouted at Tabia.
"Sorry Sister" she murmured.
"What did I just hear!?" We all stopped when we heard Papa's voice coming down the stairs.
I looked at RafRaf who was already wearing a peace sign.
"Papa, don't believe RafRaf" I convinced Papa
Papa's face was dark, he looked angry.
"Na'ko Thainah ha! I didn't raise you to be anything!" he shouted, my eyes widened at what he said.
"Dad!" I scolded.
RafRaf, you're really a bitch! The gay just laughs! Just look! You don't have a big pocket tomorrow, do you?
"Papa has a visitor!" Tabia shouted while looking out the window, you can see our gate right away when you look out the window.
"Come on sister! The handsome one is the macho one!" RafRaf giggled, I hit him on the arm.
"Stop my Boss RafRaf"
Yes, Boss is here and I don't know why he is here. My heart was beating fast but faster because of the fear that Papa might attack my Boss who was outside.
I saw Papa take a break.
"Dad!" I screamed and grabbed the brain but he pushed it away from me, my nervousness reached the sky.
"Don't stop me, you're young! I don't care if he's your boss and pays you!" Papa shouted and left the house with his brain.
Troubled and nervous, I looked at RafRaf.
"Help me you gay!" I shouted at him.
RafRaf immediately stood up at the dining table with Tabia. We ran outside. I can see the surprise on Boss's face.
Terrible! Shame!
"Dad!" RafRaf let go of Papa who was about to attack Boss.
I quickly approached Boss and moved him away from Papa but he was not hit.
"Boss, go home first" I said
"Wait, what's going on?" he asked in surprise.
He was wearing jeans paired with leather shoes with his plain black t-shirt that really fit his big body. I can still smell his beloved perfume. Then he was wearing a wrist watch that looked more expensive than my life. I shook my head, what am I thinking! I must be thinking of Papa.
