CHAPTER 7

When he called my name, I was too stunned to speak. My hands were shaking at the thought of being discovered. “You remember me?” I asked him seriously.

“Of course! Miss Mondragon gave me your full name when she sent me the bank details,” he replied nonchalantly, and for a moment, I was able to breath. “So, going back to my request, I need a personal assistant that can assist me anytime.”

“Are you saying that she should live with you?”

“Yes, if necessary, but of course, there will be rest days. I am thinking of hiring you for the job. You seemed to be efficient if you were able to manage this place by your own,” he stated.

I wanted to tell him that I may have a managerial experience but the resort shouldn’t be considered. Honestly, we barely had a guest since the time I took over the resort after my mother’s death. “That would be difficult on my part,” I told him.

“Why? There’s no other guest except for me,” he reminded me that he booked the entire place for a long vacation.

As he continued to explain the benefits I would get for working a sideline job with him, I was convinced. The money I would earn from working as his personal assistant was not a small amount. It could help me save more for my daughter’s future education. Anyway, I believed I could manage to check my daughter from to time. I could ask Alice to monitor my daughter closely, then I would just check on them whenever I got a free time. The opportunity to earn in the countryside was limited to none, so I couldn’t waste it.

“Deal?”

“Deal,” I replied.

After accepting the offer, I immediately went to inform Alice about it, and my friend was thrilled at the possibility of romancing the resort’s guest. I just shook my head to dismiss her suggestion of flirting with the man because he seemed loaded, and my daughter needed a father figure. She just had no idea that the guest was the one responsible for my pregnancy.

Necessary arrangements were made in order to make the transition smooth. Since I would be the one to do the cooking, Alice was positive she could manage her duties very well. It was all good until the time I went to him to report.

There was nothing unusual but then he demanded I shouldn’t leave him for the time being. His decision was so sudden and I couldn’t agree to it! Therefore, I decided to have a conversation with him.

I found him on his bed, his bare chest visible from the door, but at least he was covered from his feet to his stomach. "We need to talk," I said, and he motioned with his hand for me to come to him, then he just tilted his head without bothering to get up.

"Krystal, take a seat,” he ordered.

I clenched my teeth as I considered whether to obey his command or to remain standing, and I chose the latter. "All we need is our mouth to speak, Mister Logan, and I don't have to sit," I defied his command.

"All right," he said, turning away from me.

I wondered why he did that, and I assumed it was just to be comfortable. I stood there waiting until I heard him snore. Did he just fell asleep? Logan was incredible and knew exactly how to irritate me! Logan would perish in an instant if the glare in my eyes could kill. How could he ignore my presence?

“Logan Lopez!” I yelled, and when he continued pretending to sleep. I grabbed the blanket that was covering him, and I was shocked and turned around. "You don't have anything on!" I covered my eyes with my hands and asked him to cover himself, or perhaps confronting him now is a bad idea. "This conversation can wait," I said as I rushed out of his room.

I rushed back towards my bedroom and went straight to the bed. However, the scene that my eyes had witnessed earlier kept me awake. It kept flashing back into my mind, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get it out of my head. I forced myself to sleep, sighing loudly.

However, I almost forgot in setting up my alarm clock. So, I got up and adjusted the time before turning to the other side to stare the blank wall instead. Since I didn’t want to run into Logan in the morning after witnessing that shit earlier, I had to be prepared.

Subconsciously, I was so aware of the sounds of the wall clock, and then I looked at the time. If my guess was accurate, Logan wouldn’t mind me going out of the villa while he was asleep. I was able to do it last night, so there was no reason I would fail the second time around. Fortunately, my daughter was just a walking distance from me. The resort was earning because of his long-term stay, and I earned too by working as his personal assistant.

In the morning, I hummed to my favorite song while preparing his breakfast. It was just a simple meal with sunny side up eggs, tropical fruits, sautéed corned beef and toasted bread. His coffee was also ready! Since everything was already prepared, I decided to go out for some fresh air. His schedule including meeting some expats in the next town, and he already told me he would go there alone. Perfect!

"Didn't I say you should stay inside all the time?"

Logan's angry tone startled me, and I was embarrassed! “I’m done cooking,” I told him.

“Right and by this time, we should have our breakfast!”

“What’s wrong with you?” I asked him. Actually, since the day he clarified that he didn’t know me personally, or we didn’t encounter each other in the past, I decided to act as is in front of him. I was supposed to become submissive to my boss but at the end of the day, I couldn’t do that!
