While the three of them were at the mall, Melinda and Amber were walking ahead while Stephen was behind them, just following them. Melinda approached Amber and put her hand between one of Amber's arms."So, what's with you and him?" Melinda whispered.Amber looked at her. "What do you mean?" Amber also whispered, she secretly looked behind her and saw that Stephen was walking seriously even though other people inside the mall were looking at him."I knew it. You are his girlfriend," Melinda suddenly said, causing Amber to be shocked."No, I am not his girlfriend, Melinda. He's just my boss, I'm his secretary. Why did you think that?”"Because, first, he gave you his card so you could buy your stuff, second, he came here with us to accompany you? Really? Don't hide from me, it's obvious that you two have a relationship. Do you want me to ask him?" Melinda still didn't stop talking.Amber closed her eyes tightly and stopped walking so that Stephen also stopped behind them and Melinda. "
Two weeks after...Amber woke up early and went straight to the kitchen. She saw that Melinda was also there. Since Amber already knows that Melinda is Stephen's cousin, Melinda sleeps in one of the guest rooms, and so does Amber. Stephen also hired two helpers for the three of them."Hey, good morning..." Melinda greeted Amber with a smile. Amber is also dressed for work. "It looks like you woke up early today. Stephen was still asleep, but I cooked for our breakfast," added Melinda."Yeah, I also have a lot to do, so I decided to wake up early even though he said he wouldn't leave early today," said Amber.Melinda smiled at her. "How about Carson? Did he, you know? Did you two talk?” Melinda asked, still embarrassed to ask Amber that.Amber smiled sparingly, "I'm sorry, Melinda. If you really want me to talk to him, I can't. Right now, I can't even talk to him nor face him," said Amber."I know. I heard from Scarlet that he cheated on you. I'm sorry; I didn't know that Carson could
Amber has been in their province for three days with her family, while Stephen, Melinda, and Scarlet also returned to the City without Amber. They told Amber they would revisit Amber and Amber's family, but that will not happen because Amber will return to the City and work today. Because Andrew woke up yesterday, but he still didn't speak. Amber didn't want to leave but had to work for Andrew's medicine and other things her family needed.Stephen paid all the hospital bills, but Amber was still uncomfortable; she didn't want to be indebted to anyone, so she thought she would deliver what Stephen paid to the hospital for her brother Andrew.“This, Amber. Bring it for Stephen, Melinda, and Scarlet, okay?” Her mother, Annie, hurried to her and handed over the Tupperware with only food for Stephen, Melinda, and Scarlet."Mon, what is this?" Amber asked."That's our specialty, give it to them. As for this, eat it on the road,” Annie said, giving Amber another paper bag containing the same
When they got to the living room, where Stephen's father, Jonas, was with their family friend, Amber was even more nervous."Everyone, can I have your attention, please?" Sandra began. She was still holding Amber's hand, and even though Amber wanted to take her hand out of Sandra's grasp, she couldn't."What is it, hon?" Jonas asked his wife.Sandra smiled at them all and turned to Amber. "This is my son's secretary and my niece Melinda's friend. She also lives here with my son and Melinda," Sandra said.Amber heard whispers from Stephen's family friends, which made her even more shy and nervous. Jonas's face was also severe, looking at his son Stephen, who didn't seem happy with what he did. mother"Oh, it's my first time hearing that a secretary can live under the same roof with her boss," said a businessman."It's my decision that she will live here. There is no problem because I told her so," Stephen said seriously."I need to talk to my son. Excuse me," Jonas said and left the li
A week passed, and the things that needed to be put in Amber's condo were arranged, and because of the help of Melinda and Scarlet, she didn't struggle too much. This week, she continued to go to work because she had to recover on the days she was absent."Miss Amber, I just want Sir Stephen to sign something. Can you please give it to him?" An employee approached her and asked.“May I know what that's all about?” Amber asked politely.The employee showed it, and it was about a charity ball that Stephen and the whole company were invited to attend. "I will call him first; I will ask him about this," Amber said with a smile."Okay, Miss Amber. Thank you. I'll just wait at my desk. Is it okay for you to give it to him?" the employee asked politely.Amber stopped for a moment because all she wanted to do was call Stephen using the intercom. "I will just call him and ask him about this. I will also ask if you can come in—”"No, Miss Amber. He will not allow anyone else to enter his office
Amber glared at Carson. They still had yet to leave their place earlier. Carson touched his cheek. His jaw tightened, and he looked at Amber, who couldn't believe what happened.“Go away, Carson. Before I would add another slap on your face," Amber said seriously.Carson's jaw tightened even more; he was angry at what Amber had done. “I'm not done yet, Amber. I won't stop until you come back to me…”He left after he said that; Amber touched the wall on her side and was clinging to her chest because of the anger and pain she was feeling. She looked at the palm that she used to slap Carson. It was red, and Amber still felt the pain there. As she struck Carson, her hands were also shaking. That she could hardly open the door immediately. She couldn't help but cry. She was angry. Carson still dared to say the words he said earlier.When she finally got inside her condo unit, she became weaker because she remembered what Carson had said while observing the entire unit. She thought maybe Ca
The next day, Amber went to the office early. And because her condo is close to the company, she just walked to it. Amber was carrying a paper bag containing food meant for Stephen. She just thought of cooking Stephen food for lunch. All she knows is that she is happy and wants to repay Stephen for being good to her.“Good morning!” Amber greeted passing employees and others she saw. It's still early, so few people are in the office yet.Others wondered what happened to Amber and why she was so happy."Miss Amber, it looks like you're in a good mood today? And you're early. Where, Sir Stephen? He is not with you?” Jessa wondered.Amber smiled at her. "He's not with me right now, and my new place is also close to here, and I'm in a good mood, so I went in early today," said Amber.Jessa nodded and asked Amber to go to the cafeteria for coffee. Still, Amber refused because she had something important to do. Jessa said goodbye, and Amber was left in her place. She prepared what she neede
The meeting ended, and Stephen went out first; Amber immediately followed him. Stephen went straight to his office. "What time is my next meeting? We're going to the site, right? To meet our architects and engineers?” Stephen asked Amber. "Yes, Sir. At three o'clock this afternoon," answered Amber. Stephen nodded and walked to his office's dining area. "It's about lunch; we should eat now so we can leave right after," Stephen said while looking at his watch. Amber also looked at her watch, and Stephen was right; it was almost 12:00 o'clock. Amber immediately took plates for her and Stephen. They started eating, and Stephen tasted Amber's cooked food individually. And while Stephen was doing that, Amber was just looking at him, nervous and waiting to see how Stephen would react, whether he liked it or not. "How was it?" Amber asked nervously. Stephen looked at her thoughtfully, making her even more nervous. "Hmmm, it's good," Stephen answered simply. Amber frowned. "It's good?
