All Chapters of My Billionaire Enemy Is My Lover : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I tried to forget about my boss. When Sara invited me to dance, I immediately joined her. The music was too loud, and I wanted to lose myself in it. I danced like it was my last dance—giving it my all, not caring about the whistles I could hear around me. “Whooaaa… Go girl! You’re so sexy!” Sara shouted despite the loud music. For a moment while dancing, I forgot my problems. But I didn’t expect what happened next. I was so lost in my own world when suddenly someone grabbed my waist, and my back hit a solid, hard body. The heat radiating from the person spread across me. I noticed Sara and my colleagues were stunned by what was happening. They stopped dancing and stared at me and the person behind me in surprise. “No wonder your work is such a mess…you’re busy doing this,” the man whispered behind me. My heart started pounding immediately. I tried to pull his hand away from my waist, but he refused to let go. Instead, he pressed me closer to him. “What are you doing?” I asked

I stepped back, carrying the six folders. I could feel my hands trembling no matter how much I tried to stop it. He kicked his swivel chair away from him and hurriedly made a call on his cellphone. With one hand, he forcefully loosened and removed the necktie from his neck. He turned his back to me, fist clenched in rage.My body turned cold, and I could barely understand what he was saying. I sucked a breath when he turned toward me. His gaze was dark, his hand clenched as he continued talking to the person on the line. The only thing I could grasp at what he was saying was that millions of pesos were involved in that contract.The call lasted for twenty minutes. After that, he immediately sat down and did something on his laptop. He didn’t look at me.I held my breath. I had no idea how long I’d been standing there. If it had been an hour or more, I couldn’t tell—my nerves were so tight I couldn’t move, not even a twitch, afraid I’d catch his attention.All I could feel was my hear

What Sara said only made me even more nervous. That’s why I became more determined not to run into my boss.Because I was pretending to feel weak, I didn’t join Sara when she invited me to have lunch outside. I told her I’d eat in the pantry instead, just so I wouldn’t go far. I needed to keep up the act—so if there was anything I had to bring to my boss that afternoon, I could leave it to her.I ended up eating alone, feeling a little down, since almost all of my colleagues went out for lunch. A new restaurant had just opened across the company, so they decided to check it out.I was sipping my coffee while heading back to my table when I noticed a woman walking toward me. She was dressed in an expensive suit. I knew because my mom had similar ones and had told me how much they cost.“Excuse me, Miss. Where’s the office of Engr. Ferrer?” she asked as she scanned the area.I paused for a moment before answering. “Ma’am, I think you’re in the wrong place. There’s no Engr. Ferrer here.”

I ended the call after snapping back at my boss. But a few minutes later, fear crept in when I realized what I had just done. He’s my boss—but he’s also a CEO! His family is powerful!I covered my face with a pillow and screamed.“Are you crazy, Seraphina? You’re exactly like your grandfather!” I scolded myself. “We’re living like this because he went against a powerful family!”I screamed again as everything sank in. I might not just lose my job—my family could suffer too.I couldn’t go back to sleep. My thoughts consumed me. I walked back and forth inside my room.“Why did I do that?” I bit my fingernails, overwhelmed by stress. “I really am just like my grandfather… a grandfather who fought a wealthy clan, which is why we’re poor now… and we might end up even poorer than rats because of what I did!”I let out a scream again in frustration.It was already lunchtime when I realized I was still stuck thinking about what I had done. I was eating in the kitchen, but it was the only thin

I immediately took care of everything I needed to do for the next day. I was told that I could already get the allocated budget for the project. After getting it, I headed straight to the venue where the event would be held. It was a charity event—one that businessmen were expected to attend for networking and, at the same time, to give donations.I wasn’t the one who chose the venue. From the very start, I had already been informed where the event would take place. My only responsibility was to plan how to execute it successfully—a plan that took several days before it was finally approved!My eyes widened the moment I arrived at the hotel. It was a five-star establishment, and the lobby alone was massive.“But will it be available on this date?” I asked the manager as I showed her the proposed schedule.It was a good thing I decided to come in person instead of handling everything online. The manager explained that the venue was fully booked for the rest of the month and the next. E
