Chapter 6
Graycie's POV
What Sir Zach said to him echoed again and again. It's night time. I'm in my room. Tomorrow he will take me to the company to do my report. Why didn't I read the contract? Thank you!
I just finished talking to my father earlier. That kid is on my nerves! Why did he tell his father that? My gosh! I'm so embarrassed. I'm tossing and turning in bed. I can not sleep. What face will I present to Sir Zach tomorrow? Graycie, you're dead! But he's my type, isn't he? Shit! What was I thinking?!
"You're going crazy, Graycie! Just admit that you have a crush on your boss!" I said while rolling on the bed.
Eh, it's been more than a month since Ceejay and I broke up! I guess I'm so quick to move on?! Ugh! Bweset! Why am I so quick to get attached to someone?! But I don't want to anymore! Nothing they will be blessed by me. I will banish them!" I suddenly remembered what my OB said. No one will be happy with someone like me who can't have children. That's why I changed Ceejay e.
I felt a pain in my chest. Why suddenly hurt? I didn't feel it for a month. It's like my pain and anger are back. Tears are falling into my cheeks. I immediately wiped it off. My eyes can't blink. I have a report tomorrow. I'll just sleep on it.
I woke up around 4:00 am. I know, we have 8 more to go. I'm not excited, okay? I just woke up early. I got up and looked for clothes for later. I will improve that I will not be counted with Sir Zach. I wish. Wish me luck. I'll just wear jeans and a striped t-shirt. I combed my hair before entering the bathroom.
After I showered, I first got dressed. I left the room because I was hungry. Like I said, I only ate breakfast once. I opened the fridge. I took the butter. I opened the cabinet above and took out the loaf of bread. I also got a bread knife. I heated a pan. I cut the loaf bread and put the butter in it. When the pan was hot, I put the slice of loaf bread with butter. It's just a quick breakfast. I hope I don't get caught either.
"You woke up early." I saw Chelsea still rubbing her eyes.
"I'm leaving. I'll re-report to Sir Zach's company. You'll take care of Zamiel first. I'll be quick." I said while taking my homemade loaf bread with butter.
"Ah, okay. Let me ask." He took one and ate it. "It's delicious! Have you ever cooked before? You know how to cook." He added.
"Nah, you'll learn when you live alone. That's just being independent." I said laughing.
I just finished the food and said goodbye to Chelsea. I'll just take a look at Zamiel. I know it's still sleeping. I used my spare keys to his room so I could open it. The lights are off. Only the lamp shade is open. He is sleeping peacefully. I'm happy because he and her dad are okay. No more fighting between them. I just fixed his blanket. I slowly left his room.
"You're early today." I almost fainted in shock Sir Zach! I almost cursed you." I'm still holding it to my chest. It's like a mushroom! It will suddenly appear. Oh! My bad. You're checking him?" I nodded. Heart, calm down. you piste!
"Yeah, because I will be leaving with you later. What are you doing here?" It smiled. Stop that smile! Melting. Bwiset!
"Crop that I'm not that too old to you. I'm just passing by here." He says.
Ah, okay. I'll be off. See you later, Sir." I quickly left in front of him. It's hard like this but I notice it even more when I avoid it. What am I supposed to do?
I just spent time in my room. Chelsea called me around 7:45 am. Sir Zach is said to be leaving. I took a deep breath before leaving the room. Mang Bert will probably drive us. I will ride in the back. I can't stand Sir Zach. Yes!
"Let's go?" He opened the door when I got out of the main door.
"Where's Mang Bert? He'll be driving, won't he, Sir?" It smiled.
"No, today is his day off. Hop in." He opened the passenger seat door for me. I have no choice. I will sit there. I'm really unlucky.
We were quiet the whole flight. The feeling is awkward. I was just looking out the window. This long flight is boring.
Can I ask you a question?" He broke the silence Go ahead." I'm still looking at the window.
Why are you agreeing to take this job? I know you need money. Some other reason?" I knew it. He's going to ask this.
"Honestly, I don't want to stay at my own house. There are those who betrayed me while I'm away. You want to know why?" At that time I looked at his behavior. He nodded.
"Yes. I will listen." I looked back at the window.
"My long-term boyfriend is cheating on me. Worst of all, he got my younger sister pregnant." I smiled bitterly. "But I just accepted it. There's nothing I can do. It's better to run away from them. That's why I don't come home every time I have a day off. I can't do it yet, but I can do it soon." I'll add more.
"You will forget about it someday. Let's not talk about the rest." I nodded.
He didn't seem surprised by what I said. After all, people's behavior is different. At least I told my real reason. I just stared out of the car. This is going to be a long day.
Graycie's POV
When we got to the company, I immediately got out of the car. It's been a month since I went here. Nothing has changed. I even saw Sir Zach just down. I noticed that his necktie was a little crooked.
Sir, a second." I approached him and fixed his necktie. "Done." I smiled softly.
Thanks, Ms. Graycie." I distanced myself as soon as I realized what I had done. What the heck?
Welcome, Sir." He was the first to walk inside. I just followed behind him. There was nothing wrong with what I did, right? I just fixed the necktie!
Good morning, Sir. Good morning, ma'am." The guard greeted me.
"Good morning." I greeted back and went inside.
Good morning, Sir Del Fuerto. Oh, Hi there. Ms. Graycie, Right?" Ma'am Glenda Yes. Good morning too, Ma'am Glenda. Long time no see." My best regards.
"Is my office okay?" I heard Sir Zach's question.
Yes, Sir. You can go to your office now." Ma'am Glenda answered.
Great. Let's go, Ms. Graycie." He said and walked away.
Have a great day, Ma'am Glenda, It's nice to see you." I say goodbye before I follow Sir Zach.
We are waiting for the elevator to open. I'm glad that I saw Ma'am Glenda. She's really kind. When the elevator opened, he entered first and I followed. We were quiet inside. There is also distance between us. When we got to the floor, I was still following him. Outside the office, you can see the inside. I think Sir Zach's office got even better.
"Let's go inside. After you sign the report you can go home." He says.
He took out some folders from a cabinet. He placed it on the mini table opposite the sofa. I sat on the sofa and took the folders.
"Your reports are all written there. Just sign it and go back to the mansion. I have many things to do here. If Zamiel asks, tell him that I will work in the company today." He sat on the swivel chair and picked up the piles of folders on his desk. He is a busy person.
I'm done. Here it is, Sir Zach." I handed him the folder. Alright. Take a cab and be safe." I nodded and left.
I said goodbye to Ma'am Glenda. I looked at the time on my wrist watch. It's 9:30 am. I want to go around the mall first. Not far away I saw a mall. I will return to the mansion around 10:30. I'll go around first.
I entered inside the mall. Many stalls of clothes and accessories. I was looking for accessories. I have pocket money with me. I noticed a moon and stars necklace. It's cute. I took that. Then I found a bracelet that could fit Chelsea. I also saw a necklace with letters. I got one with the letter Z engraved on it. It had a little teddy bear next to the letter. I went to the counter to pay.
All 2,500." I handed the 3,000 peso bill to the cashier. "Thank you for purchasing, Ma'am. Come back again." I smiled and left the store.
I wandered around. I don't know why I went to the toy store. Because I saw a teddy bear that vibes with Zamiel. He's not big but he's cute. I want to give it to him. I'm not sure if he wants a teddy bear. If he doesn't want it, it's up to me. I went to the counter to pay.
"That's for 3,500 pesos." I took the 4,000 bill from my wallet and gave it to the cashier Thank you." I said give me the teddy bear.
I went round and round. I bought clothes and other necessities. I was about to leave the mall when I noticed the stall of the male cologne and perfume section. A green perfume with a diamond shape caught my attention.
Hello ma'am, are you looking for perfume for your boyfriend? This is the best seller among the rest." He took the one that caught my attention Ah, I don't have a boyfriend. That's your best seller? The packaging is so cool." I answered the sales lady.
Oh, my bad. This can also be a gift. It's always sold out. This is the last bottle, if you want to buy it ma'am. Just bought it. You won't regret it." He said with a smile I will buy it." I said. I don't know where to use it. The packaging is really nice.
Really? Omy gosh. Thank you, Ma'am." We went to the counter to pay. "It's 5,789 pesos." He said after scanning it on the computer Here." I handed over the 6,000 bill. "
Keep the change, I'll give you a tip." I smiled at her Thank you, Ma'am. Here's your perfume. Please come back again." I smiled and left.
I need to go home to the mansion. I hailed a cab outside the mall. When I got in I told the driver the place and the cab left. It's 10 am. I have bought a lot. Maybe I spent about 15k. First time in my life I spent that much. Because what I buy is purely for family needs. Sometimes I can't buy myself anything. It's nice when the salary is big.
After an hour I arrived at the mansion. I got off on the opposite side of the gate. Manang Cynthia opened me up. I often see him inside. Maybe it's because Chelsea is the only one I always catch up with. I thanked before entering the mansion. I went straight to the room. I need a shower. It's hot outside the mall. I was sweating while waiting for a cab earlier. I put my shopping on the floor before entering the bathroom.
Graycie's POV
I woke up because my cellphone rang. I looked at the caller, it was my father. I answered immediately.
Hello, ho. Why were you summoned?"
I'm sorry I woke you up, son."
It's fine, is there a problem?"
Yes son, Gabi was rushed to the hospital. She was bleeding."
"Ho?! How is she?!"
"She is fine and so is the child. They say it's just stress that's why it happened. We need money to pay her hospital bill. Ceejay doesn't have a job yet."
"I'll take care of it, I'll send the money. I'll transfer it to your bank account right away. Thank you son. I know this is hard for you."
"Gabi is my sister. I hope you tell Ceejay too. He should find a job, he's not a young man anymore. I'll take care of that. Thanks again son."
Alright, bro. Take care there. I'll say hello to mom and Gavin."
Yes. You too. Take care of yourself too, son. Thank you again."
"Yeah, bye."
I immediately went to the app to open my bank account. I transferred 50,000 pesos to my father's account. After the confirmation text, I also logged out. I looked at the time and it was 1:00 am. I haven't given my gifts to them yet. I tried to sleep again.
I woke up around 6:00 am. I got up and went straight to the bathroom. After I showered, I got dressed. I left the room. I saw Chelsea at the kitchen counter. Fixing the plates.
Good morning." I congratulate you.
It's you, good morning." It smiled congratulatory By the way, I have something to give you." I took the bracelet I bought for her yesterday from my three fourths pocket.
"Come on! Is it mine?" He asked in shock while holding the bracelet.
Yeah. I gave you that. Did you like it?" she nodded with a smile.
"Oh yes! Very nice! Thank you, Gaycie." It said happily. Welcome." I answered with a smile.
Chel, Madam Cynthia called you." A maid said openly to Chelsea.
Ah ok. Later Graycie, Thanks for this." I nodded and waved at him.
