Chapter 20

When I opened my eyes, I frowned. It was bright, it must be noon already. I bolted upright as I remembered what I had to do today and grabbed my phone from the bedside table to check the time.“W-What?!” I almost screamed. It was past nine in the morning. I should be at the office by now! I’m late! My head suddenly throbbed from the stress.I stood up, clutching a pillow, and walked out of the room. When I opened the door, the scent of home-cooked food from the kitchen greeted me. And there I saw Tirso, still wearing an apron, cooking some kind of soup in a large pot.Is it soup? Or tinola?“B-Boss?!” I called out, my eyes widening slightly. “It’s late! The presentation is today, right? Why didn't you wake me up?”I thought he was already at the company and had left me behind. I didn't expect him to be here too.He stared at me, his eyebrow raised so high they almost met. “You’re not going to the office today.”My jaw dropped. “Sir?! I can't! There's a client meeting—”“I already hand

Chapter 21

I didn't notice the time. With so much work to finish on my laptop, I lost track of the minutes and hours that passed.The glow of the screen still traced the lines of my face even as my eyes nearly drifted shut from sheer exhaustion. I could still hear the rapid clicking of the keyboard as I adjusted the final slides, but eventually, I completely blacked out, falling asleep with the mouse still gripped in my hand.I woke up when I suddenly felt a weight beside me. I slowly opened my eyes, and my soul nearly left my body at what I saw.It was Tirso.He was beside me, hugging me tightly. He wasn't just lying there, he was practically using me as a pillow. His arm was draped firmly around my waist. I could feel the weight, the heat radiating from his body.My eyes widened, and my first instinct was to break away. But I couldn't. I just gripped the edge of the blanket, staring at his calm face.“Shiît…” I whispered to myself, feeling my heart rate like a skyrocket.He’s different when he

Chapter 22

I couldn't stay still in bed. I’ve been rolling and turning here for a while. My throat felt parched from thirst, but I just kept swallowing my own spit rather than going back out there and seeing that thing again.I didn't know... that he was hiding a pet that big."My God, Irene! Sleep!" I rubbed my face in frustration. "Stop imagining that thing!" I argued with myself like a crazy person. "Ugh, damn it! That thing won't let me sleep! I hope I don't stay awake until morning because of this!"I rolled onto my side. I wanted to close my eyes and return to the sleep that felt so easy earlier, but now… it was impossible. What I saw in the living room kept replaying in my mind. His body, the shape of that thing, and what he was doing.I bolted upright, feeling a fire crawling over my skin. I didn't know if it was from shame, shock, or something else I didn't want to admit.“Shîit, Irene,” I whispered, hitting my pillow. “Why did you even look?!”Well, I just happened to see it! What was

Chapter 23

I had been awake since early morning. It felt as though I had fallen asleep and dreamed of something I couldn't distinguish as real or just a figment of my imagination. Even now, I could still feel that heat on my skin, as if someone had embraced me last night.I sat up in bed, clutching my chest as my heart beat rapidly. No, no, Irene. Impossible. It was just a dream. It was probably just caused by the cramps and whatever else was on your mind last night.But no matter how hard I tried to convince myself, I couldn't remove the image of his body from my mind, that naked body I saw last night. I could only shake my head, pinching my cheeks to snap myself out of it.I finally got up, and the moment I opened the door, I immediately smelled the aroma of coffee. That was when I realized Tirso was already awake. I could even hear the splashing of water from the kitchen.“Shiît,” I whispered softly. “What am I going to say? Good morning? Act like nothing happened? Should I be grumpy? Just li

“N-No,” I answered briefly. “I slept well last night. How could I have gone out? Unless I was sleepwalking, right?” I added with a hint of grumpiness.He nodded, and I saw how he licked his lips. Fvck. So sexy, what is wrong with me!“Yeah, you're right. You can rest.”I furrowed my brow. “Rest again? Do you plan on locking me up in your condo? Just resting?”He chuckled as he looked at me. “Why? Don't you want a long break? You feel like I’m locking you up here? Is that really how you feel? Are you that eager to work?” he asked, as if challenging me. “Do you want pressure? A pile of tasks?”I scratched my head. “It’s not like that, boss, but... isn't this a bit much?”His thick eyebrows met. “A bit much? How, Irene? One day? That’s too much for you?”I grimaced. “I guess I’m just used to it?”“Because of me?”Now he’s really asking. Isn't it obvious? I practically break my neck just to meet the deadlines he wants, and now he’s asking if it’s because of him? Wow. He used to treat me l

Chapter 25

It seemed impossible for him to be the one trying to appease me. I laughed it off in my mind, but the truth was, my heart was racing.I took a deep breath, ignored what he said, and started walking again.“Irene? Didn’t you hear me?” And for the second time, I stopped walking again. Oh God. “How do I make it up to you?”“There’s Google. Ask Google,” I answered coldly and immediately entered the room.I immediately shut the door and locked it. I leaned against it and clutched my chest. I felt my heart beating even faster. I could barely catch my breath.What kind of feeling is this? This isn't good. I'm afraid of where this might lead.I can't like my boss. It's not allowed. It's forbidden. I need to get out of here as soon as possible before these feelings grow any deeper.Why did he have to start asking about making amends anyway? Aah! I'm going crazy!I squeezed my eyes shut and tugged at my own hair. “Wake up, Irene! You can't like him. He’s the heavens, and you’re the earth. A-And

Chapter 26

I looked down. I couldn't hold it. The way his eyes looked soft, heavy-lidded. It was captivating.“W-Why would I be sulking?” I asked. Wasn't it obvious earlier? I even slammed the door and locked it. Wasn’t that clear enough?He lifted my chin, making me look at him. “Sounds like sulking to me. You even locked the door. Do I have to remind you that I’m still your boss?”My eyebrow shot up. “We aren't at the company. How are you still my boss?”“You kept calling me boss. So, I'm still your boss.” He teased me. He was actually grinning. He really knows exactly when to annoy me. Should I act like my dysmenorrhea is acting up again? “So…”“You're not my boss. I'm just… here as a…” I paused. I couldn't pinpoint the exact words. I was fumbling for something to say, damn it. “Tenant.”I scoffed when he suddenly laughed out loud. “Tenant? Did I require you to pay for rent?”My mouth hung open. He had a point. “So what do you call me then?” I snapped, trying to hide my awkwardness.He leaned

When we arrived at the Korean restaurant, I immediately broke into a smile. It smelled so good. The scent of grilled meat, garlic, sesame oil, oh, heaven. It looks like I’m going to eat a lot today. My mouth is watering already. Even my jaws are aching at the aroma of the place. Meanwhile, Tirso is just quiet, but obviously observing his surroundings. Typical of him. Calm. Composed, yet observant. But I can feel him hesitating.I just smirked and stifled a giggle. Is this his first time in a place like this? I mean, look at his expression, it’s obvious he’s new to this kind of dining, he’s just trying not to show it.The waitress led us to a corner table. There was a grill in the center with side dishes on the side. I sat down immediately while Tirso looked around first before following suit, sitting down as if he were still in a board meeting.“So,” he said, picking up the menu. “Go ahead and order. Whatever you want. My treat, remember?”There. That’s where he was wrong. He thought

Chapter 28

I was so tense when he sat beside me. I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest when he touched my hair.I could feel an electric tingle every time his fingers brushed against my skin. I held my breath, almost dropping the chopsticks I was holding.Then, without warning, he gently tied my hair back, pulling it into a loose ponytail. The movement was so intimate, so careful, that I froze, my chest tightening with anticipation. “There,” he said softly, his thumb brushing a stray strand from my face.I looked at him, caught between wanting to speak and being utterly speechless. The way he stared at me made my knees weak. “Tirso…” I whispered, my voice barely audible. “I-I can do it.”He chuckled lowly, leaning closer, the warmth of his breath brushing my ear. “Shh… just relax,” he murmured, and I felt it, every nerve in my body alive, every bit of tension melting under his touch. “Let me make it up to you.”Make it up to me? For what? Because he’s always teasing me? He’s alr

Chapter 29

“Is there a problem?” I instantly looked at Tirso when he asked. “You’ve been quiet for a while. Did I say something wrong? Did I make you uncomfortable? Is it because of earlier? I’m… sorry.”I quickly shook my head. “Not at all,” I replied softly. “I’m just… thinking. I got a bit deep in thought. Sorry. Just ignore me.”“I’m with you, Irene, how can I not pay attention to you? Just tell me. What is it about?” he asked, curiosity in his voice. “About me? About Caroline?”I shook my head again. “No, no,” I denied, forcing a small smile. “It’s nothing.” But the truth is… my mind wouldn’t stop wondering about him and Caroline, if they still had a connection, if there was still something left between them. But judging from how they acted earlier, it really seemed like they had only just run into each other after a long time.But what do I care? It’s his life. So what if they have a connection? I’m just an employee staying in his condo.“You can tell me,” he said gently. “I’ll explain if
