chapter 6

''Eat, Boss.'' I said and he just nodded.

I just looked at him until he sat down, he looked at me.

''Sit'' he ordered again, I shook my head.

''I'm still full, I ate breakfast'' I refused.

The truth is that I haven't eaten yet. I'm early today because I thought my relationship with Boss would be going well. I was excited and then it just happened like this.

He frowned.

''Sit and join me'' he said again, I shook my head.

''I'm really full.'' I refused again, why is he so stubborn?

He raised an eyebrow at me.

''Do you want me to beg for you to join me, Thainah?'' he asked.

''No''

I sat down and ate quietly. We ate well. Boss seems to have manners with food. He doesn't talk when he eats. Ma'am Lucia really raised him well. That's why he's a billionaire. When we finished, I washed and cleaned. He looked at me again.

''Are you mad at me?'' he suddenly asked, I faced him.

''No Boss'' I refused.

I'm not mad at all, I'm just afraid that he'll yell at me again. I don't know why he was angry earlier but I feel it's my fault.

''Then why are you so silent? I'm not good at it'' he said.

What does he think of my mouth? Talking machine that keeps talking?

I bow down. Thinking of something to answer. My thoughts stopped when he spoke again.

''I'm sorry if I acted like that. I shouted at you, I didn't mean to. I'm just pissed off of that Man!'' he said annoyed.

''You have nothing to be angry about.'' I said softly while bowing.

''He asked if you have a boyfriend! Damn it! Do you really think I would let him?!'' he hissed.

I bit my lip. My heart is pounding. What does he want to convey? He looks like a jealous boyfriend.

''It's not a big deal, Boss''

''D*mn not!'' he groaned.

''It's a big deal to me!''

I couldn't help but look at him. I looked at him confused. Even he looked surprised by what he said.

He averted his gaze, I felt sad for his avoidance.

''Let's buy groceries'' he suddenly said and turned his back on me.

What is he doing this to me? He's making me so confused.

I have to admit that I really sulked about Boss. Because that's the first yelled I've ever received from him. But even though I sulked at him, I still went with him. Now, we're in his car, driving to Supermarket. We are going to buy food.

"Have you done the grocery shopping yet?" asked Boss who turned to me. I turned at him. His very high nose did not pass me by.

Really handsome.

''It's over Boss, Papa did the grocery shopping'' I answered.

He nodded while still focusing on the road.

''Where's your mother?'' he asked again.

''She died, Boss'' was my simple answer. Yes, I will admit that it still hurts to this day. It's been 16 years but Mama's death still hurts. I was 7 years old then, RafRaf was 4 years old.

''I'm sorry'' he said.

I smiled at him even though he was looking at the road. I can feel his sincerity but that's okay. It's over and we have Tabia.

''It's okay, Boss. Do you know that I don't regret my mother's death much?''

He turned to me. Surprised face. Who wouldn't be surprised but I'm not done talking yet.

I adjusted my seat and faced the road as well, I smiled widely.

''If Mama hadn't died, Boss. Tabia will not survive. Mama and Papa want to prioritize Tabia and my father never regretted choosing his daughter. Because Papa said, that when you have a family and have children, you will really prioritize your children over yourself or your wife.'' I continued.

That's what Papa always told me.

"Always choose the result of the love of Lovers." that's the quote of my father.

''Your father is a brave man'' he said admiringly, because it was obvious in his voice.

I nodded curtly.

''My father is the best and also my mother'' I told him while smiling and proud.

I am really proud of my parents, especially my mom who sacrificed herself for her own child. That's the real mother!

When we got to the grocery store, I winced especially while shopping for ingredients. Boss is the one with the push cart. I'm really excited, we're like a married couple.

Your imagination is the limit! Cream sticks!

I stopped walking. I really can't stand the eyes of women who almost raped Boss by staring. I violently turned to the girls. They were silent but immediately fell silent when they saw me looking at them. I gave them a b*tchy look. Yeah right!

''What are you doing?'' I heard Boss ask but I didn't pay attention because I was just looking at the girls.

If I think it's fatal, I'm burning them in hell.

''What are you all looking at my husband huh?! Do you want me to ban you from all Grocery Stores?'' I asked gruffly.

Playing wife duty! I like this!

They also raised their eyebrows at me as if challenging me. I approached Boss who looked shocked. I wrapped my arms around his arms.

''Tell them hubby who's the owner of this Mall'' I ordered as if being cute.

I'm so beautiful just to be cute!

''I-I'm one of the owners of this Mall and this grocery store, so please go away because if my wife gets mad, I swear you can't step again to all Malls in the Philippines and all over the world'' Boss threatened and I smiled.

I was shocked, this is what happens when the Boss is married, right? I choose my wealth.

The girls turned pale and looked scared so they immediately left, I just smiled as I watched them leave.

''So, you're my wife?'' he asked playfully.

My heart beats fast. I immediately walked away from him. My arm was wrapped around his arm. I feel like I've been burned.

Because he's hot.

I tried to stop my heartbeat but he really didn't want to so I just hid it. Of course I don't want to get sick. I'm afraid we'll be awkward with each other if I say I like him, there's also a chance I'll lose my job and that's no way. I have two more to teach and then Papa is still there. I really want to go back to our province. In Puerto Galera but not yet. We have our own house in Puerto Galera, it doesn't have a second floor but it is made of cement and a little wood. Mind you, our house there is half wood and half cement. The neighbors there are also kind. We live in Tabinay, the town ruled by the Custodios.

I answered Boss.

''I just did that, Boss for Ma'am Kaye''

Ouch pain! I was hurt by my own words. I saw Boss's smile disappear but of course I didn't pay attention. I'm used to Boss being bipolar. We have been together for 2 years. It's short but for me that's high.

''Let's go'' back to cold tone.

I just nodded and continued shopping, while I was shopping I decided to speak.

''You know, Boss. Since Papa got sick, we can't buy food at the grocery store anymore, we only go to the market and there's nothing wrong with that, until now we still shop at the market, but it's really different when you go to the grocery store because you can buy junk foods, It's sad, Boss we can hardly buy the food we want because Papa's money is only for dishes and rice'' I smiled sparingly, cheering my drama side.

''But since I've been working with you, Boss, we've always been able to eat the foods we want, so thank you—'' I looked back but saw that Boss was far away and talking to someone on his cell phone.

Wow? Just rude? Too bad I said that! Too bad Cutiee wrote here and then he won't listen! If I didn't really love you, I would probably have beaten you!

I didn't do anything but go back to Boss and wait for him after talking, I got serious because Boss's face was serious.

''What happened, Boss?'' Thainah Harris the serious type is back again.

''The company needs me, something happened, let's go'' he said, I was stunned.

''How did we buy this?'' I asked, it would be a waste to just leave it here.

He looked at the pushcart and looked back at me.

''Let's pay it first'' he said and I immediately agreed.

Yes, and I'm tired of shopping.

We first went to Boss's Condo. We put the purchases first and went straight to the Company. Boss immediately called a meeting. There was a problem with the Buyer in London and New York, so Boss was busy all day, I felt sorry for him.
