'Burning Desire

CHAPTER 1

(Kia's point of view)

I woke up because it felt like someone was patting my cheek so I opened my eyes and I was not mistaken because the face of the conductor appeared to me.

"Lady! we are here in Manila, wake up and come down." Said the conductor, so I looked out the window to see if I was actually in Manila.

When I looked out the window, I was already in Manila because of the tall buildings and the many people walking and the many cars on the road.

so I quickly got off the bus, of course I thanked the conductor for waking me up, if you're wondering if I paid, of course, before I fell asleep on the bus, I gave the money.

"Wow, it's beautiful here in Manila." That's all that came out of my mouth because I'm actually in Manila, I can't believe I've set foot here.

I hope I can find a good job here right away, Manila is so big where I can rent, I said in my mind and sighed.

I started walking so that I could find something to eat. While I was walking, I saw old lady picking up her purchases. I said in my mind that there was a hole in her container so I quickly ran to her place.

"Manang let me help you." I offer to manang so she looked at me and smiled so I smiled back and helped her pick up her shopping.

"Thank you for helping, because this plastic has a hole." She said while pointing to the torn plastic so I smiled at her.

"That's not there, I have a basket here made of straw." I said to her, holding out the straw basket, "My mother made that." I smiled back to Manang.

"You're a very kind young lady, thank you for your straw basket." Manang said to me so I asked her. "It looks like you're new here in Manila ah" Manang said to me again.

"Ah yes, I'm new here, I'm looking for a place to rent, so tomorrow I'll start looking for a job because I really need a job....hmm, do you know of anyone I can rent to?"I made a long conversation to Manang, and Manang looked at me with a smile.

"Do you want to work together and live somewhere?" Manang asked me.

"Yes manang, do you know anything?" This is my answer.

"My boss is looking for a new secretary, I can offer you there."Manang said to me with a big smile, so I couldn't help but smile because I was going to work.

"Really manang, can you take me there to your boss so he can interview me?" I asked with a smile to manang, she nodded in response.

"I'll just call my husband to pick us up and introduce you to Señorito." Manang told me so I just nodded in response.

"I'll just call you for a moment." So I nodded to her again.

I hope I can get a job as a secretary so I can immediately send money to mother and to my youngest brother so that mother can be treated and her illness will not get worse. I don't want to lose her from us. I'm not ready yet, but I know that my mother is strong, I know that she can fight, mother. just be patient and I can treat you too, maybe I'll call them later when I'm accepted.I couldn't continue my thoughts when a fancy car stopped in front of me.

"Wow, it's so clean and shiny." That's the only thing I blown out, it's so beautiful, the color is black, the shine is even more shiny than super shiny, you can enjoy it.

suddenly a tall man came out, his body was strong enough to be a model if he walked and he was also handsome-. I couldn't continue my thoughts when manang spoke.

"No señorito, why did you pick us up? Josep can't-" Manang couldn't finish what she was going to say when the rich man suddenly took what manang bought, "Let's go." He said to manang without any emotion.

"Ahh......señorito, I have with me, she's going to work for your company." Manang said nervously so I looked at manang in wonder. Why is she nervous and also she called this señorito does it mean she is the one who needs the secretary of their company?

so I turned to Señorito who was supposed to be looking at me so our eyes met for a few seconds and I also averted my eyes and focused on others, I couldn't make eye contact with him as if I was hypnotized by his gaze.

"Let's talk about that later." Señorito said he was cold so I looked at him again but he was already there and was about to open the door. He walked so fast I thought he was a splash in my mind.

"Come let's go inside, he doesn't want to wait." Manang promised to get in the front of the car, so I followed and got in the back. It's my first time to get into this car.

I looked ahead, I was just so surprised that he was looking at me, so without hesitation I avoided looking at him, I was very nervous while holding my chest.

He's still looking at me, I took a bite to make him come back to reality, he turned on the engine and started driving.

I was just looking out the window. I still can't believe I'm here in Manila.

so quiet I didn't realize that my eyes were slowly closing until I fell asleep...

To be Continue....

CHAPTER 2

I woke up when I felt the car we were riding in stopped, so I looked ahead.

That's how amazed I was when the big gate suddenly opened with no one holding it.

That's great, I promise. When the big gate opened, Señorito let his car inside.

Señorito went out first and manang followed so I also followed them maybe later the rich man will say, I enjoyed my ride.

"Come on, follow me and I'll introduce you to sir and ma'am." Manang said as soon as I got out of the car.

I just nodded in response and she started walking so I just followed her.

when I got inside, my eyes widened because of the beauty of this house, this mansion, their floor is golden that if you run, you will surely slip because of the super smoothness of the floor. Maybe it's called tiles, I said again to my mind.

it's beautiful here with large vases, frames attached to the wall and its golden surroundings.

"You might get a fly in your mouth." Manang told me with a laugh. So I closed my mouth because of shame.

I'm so amazed because the mansion is so beautiful.

"Hehehe, I'm sorry, manang, this house is really beautiful, this mansion." I'm ashamed to tell manang.

"Go ahead and sit there first." Manang pointed to the soft and long chair "I'll just call ma'am and sir, I'll leave you here for now, is that okay with you?" Manang asked with a promise.

I just smiled and nodded in response. So Manang started walking.I looked around the inside of this mansion until I stopped at the big photo on the wall. I approached it just like that and I smiled when I saw a family picture. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't help but be jealous. I whispered to the wind the beautiful woman looks like she's only in her 30's here, she looks like the mother of the one in the picture, there's also a handsome man who looks like he's in his 30's too, he's tall and muscular, his handsome smile but they look like young women and young men because you can't deny that they're in their 30's they

my eyes landed on a girl "Wow she's beautiful." That was my only exclamation to the air, she's beautiful like a princess if I was a boy I might have flirted with her, I looked around again until I stopped this to a man, handsome man. He is only 14 years old here, I can see him.I thought about it until I remembered. He is señorito, he's cute, he's also handsome like a prince. Maybe he's had many girlfriends, he's very handsome and he has a deep smile dimple to the right of his cheeks, I can only say that he is handsome."Oh, you're handsome!" I screamed when suddenly someone grabbed my waist, so I looked to see who it was.

I was so shocked that señorito was holding my waist so I pushed him because of the shock, it was weak enough for him to let go of my waist.

He grinned in such a shocking the he grinned maybe woman's fall off their panties from his grin.

"Hmm... I'm handsome huh?"He Husky said soI just looked away because of shame.

"Oh lady! are you okay? Why did you scream." Said the newly arrived beautiful woman, I think she is the one in the picture, Señorito's mother, "Ahmm...Oh, I'm fine." I put my hand on the back of my head.

"Come let's talk about something." So I approached her but before that I looked at Señorito's appearance. His appearance was still the same smiling so I looked away again.

"Lady, sit down." So I sat in the seat she pointed out. "Manang said that you will apply as a secretary of our company."I nodded in response.

"Alright, but can I know your name first?" Ma'am smiled at me so I nodded.

"I'm Kia Sy Delvuesta, just call me Kia." I said to ma'am with a smile.

"Nice name, just like you, you are also a beautiful woman." She said, I just smiled because I'm not used to being called beautiful.

"I'm Sheena Slyvestre, just call me ma'am Sheen." Ma'am sheen said, "He's Lixter Slyvestre, just call him sir lix, he's my husband." She pointedly to the man who had just entered the mansion, so I nodded in response.

"And he is my son, he is Kalix Gideon Slyvestre, don't call him by the name Gideon, he is angry so just call him sir Kalix." Ma'am Sheen said again, so I nodded in response and looked at Sir Kalix who was already in front of me.

He was looking at me so I just smiled at him, later he told me to keep avoiding him and then I didn't even smile, it was difficult because I might not be accepted at work, I shouldn't be.

"Kia, you can work as my son's secretary, you graduated from college and your backgrounds are good." I couldn't help but my eyes widened when ma'am Sheen told me that.

"Really m-ma'am Sheen?"I can't believe that I'm going to work as a secretary right away. she smiled and nodded in response.

I want to jump for joy because it's embarrassing that I'm in their mansion, this is good news for mother and my youngest I'm sure they'll be happy.

"Manang said that you are new here in Manila and you don't have a place to live yet." So I turned my eyes to ma'am Sheen when she spoke.

"Yes, ma'am Sheen, I'm new here in Manila and I'm also looking for a place to live."I said to Ma'am Sheen with a smile.

"You can stay here if you want, don't worry about your bills, we'll just help you with that like you helped Manang before."

I want to agree but I'm embarrassed because they let me in as a secretary and then they're going to let me live here without paying.

"Even if I want to agree, ma'am Sheen, it's embarrassing, you're going to let me live here and then there's no payment." I'm ashamed to say.

"What's wrong with that, please accept my offer please." Ma'am Sheen begged me.

I just nodded as an answer, I can't do anything either, mother said that when a blessing comes, don't refuse it.

She nodded and her eyes were still shining. Maybe because of happiness? she hugged me.

"Thank you very much and good luck for your work." Ma'am Sheen said with a smile as she pulled away from the hug.

"Alright, rest first and tomorrow you will start as a secretary of Slyvestre Company." Sir Lix smiled and promised me so I nodded and smiled.

"Manang, please take Kia to her room." Sir Lix said again to manang. "Alright sir Lix, Kia come." Manang said while pulling me upstairs.

"Thank you again, sir and ma'am." I smiled at both of them, I glanced at sir Kalix in his place but he was gone when I looked, he was really quick to disappear shaking his head as he went up to the height.

while walking I couldn't help but look around, it's still very beautiful because hey, they are really rich, I wish we were rich too I said in my mind.

"Yes, I am Susan Cortes, you can call me Manang." Manang susan said so I stopped in my thoughts. Yes, by the way I don't know her name yet fortunately manang susan introduced herself. I nodded in response.

we stopped at a door, this is probably going to be my room. Manang opened the door "This is going to be your room, this one in the other room is Señorito Kalix's room."

"Alright man."I looked at the other room. "Go ahead and rest. I'll just wake you up when I'm done eating and call me when you need something." I smiled and nodded as an answer.

I entered my room, when I opened the door I saw a wide room with a big bed, a big cabinet, a big bathroom and it was very clean, there were shampoos and soaps here. The things are complete.

I went to the clothes closet and opened it, when I opened it, I couldn't fit half of my things into the cabinet, there were still a lot of gaps, it was so big that I could fit inside.

after all, my room is the same size as our house in the province, the kitchen, bedroom two and bathroom are all there, there are only three of us in the house so we can fit.

"I'll probably fix my things later, I'm going to sleep first, I'm tired from the trip."I whispered into the air.

How are they, mother and youngest, I said in my mind.

"Yes, by the way, I will tell them that I have a job, so they can call me." Excited, I said to myself and took my cell phone's keypad and dialed my mother's number.

After a few seconds, he answered my call, "Hello, how are you doing there, do you have a place to stay?" Mother ask me, mother is really very considerate.

"Hi mother, Yes mother, I have a place to live and besides, I'm fine here, how are you and the youngest there, have you eaten yet?" I ask my mother a long time.

"That's good, we're fine, yes, we've already eaten here, don't get tired and hungry there."

"It's really the mother, didn't I tell you don't worry about me and I'm fine here."

" I'm just worrying about you there, maybe something will happen to you there, and we won't know." Mother's voice sounded worried.

"I know that mother, as long as you don't worry about me, I'm fine here." I said to my mother."And by the way, mother, I have good news for you and the youngest." I added to mother .

"Deiven nyx come here and your sister is going to tell us something!!" Mother shouted on the other line.

I heard my brother's quick footsteps, "Yes, mother is on her way." Nyx shouted back at mother.

"Oh, what good news, Nyx is here and listening." Mother said happily.

"Mother and youngest I have work." I happily say to them.

I could hear the shouting of the two on the other line, if I had been there I would have seen the reaction on their faces, knowing that they were also happy because I had found a job, I was also happy because I had a job.

"She really has a job." Nyx said happily.

"Yes, my sister has a job, she can finish her job and besides, we will be able to treat our mother." I said happily to Nyx, but my brow furrowed like that and no one spoke on the other end of the line.

"Brother? mother! are you all right there?" I ask.

"H-huh yes! but honey save money first, don't think about the expenses, your brother and I are fine here." I just held my breath at what my mother said.

"Yes sister, save money there first, we are in a good place and besides, I'm only in my first year of college, I have a few more years to travel, I'm a man, sister, I'll just look for a job here, even if it's lifting just pay for water even if it's only 10 at least I have an income." Nyx answered me with objection.

"Hmm..go ahead, as long as I have something saved up here, I'll send it there right away." I agreed to what they wanted.

"Yes sister." Nyx said.

"Mother and youngest, I will rest first because tomorrow I will start my work." I Said to them.

"Alright, take a rest, good luck." My mother said.

"Thank you mom, you can rest now, I'll take it down, be careful there, I love you both." I said as I turned off my cell phone.

I want to go to bed and rest.

I jumped on the bed, "Haysst, it's nice to lie down on the soft, soft bed." I sighed as I stomped on the bed, "Sleep." I said, little by little I felt sleepy, until I fell asleep.

I woke up because of the knocking of the healer outside.

"Iha, wake up and come down, we're going to eat! "Manang susan said so I immediately got up from the bed.

Yes, I was in their mansion, ma'am sheen, I almost forgot that.

"Yes, I'll just follow! " I shout at manang.

"Alright, I'll go first! "Manang shouted back again, I couldn't answer when I heard his footsteps leaving.

After taking a bath, I hadn't changed my clothes because I was sleepy.

I entered the bathroom and started to remove my covers and started to take a shower.

After a few minutes I finished taking a shower, I wrapped the towel hanging on the wall around my body.

When I came out of the bathroom, I immediately went straight to my things that I hadn't arranged before, so I put the things one by one and put them inside the cabinet.

I have also chosen something to wear, I chose a t-shirt and pajamas, I'm not used to short shorts.

after getting dressed, I went downstairs and to eat I was hungry. But I couldn't see where the kitchen was, as if I was in a palace, there were so many twists and turns that I might get lost.

I can walk now, maybe I can see the kitchen. On my walk, I saw someone, I think it's one of the nannies, let's ask where the kitchen is.

"Hmm sister, can I ask a question?"I asked the girl as soon as I got close, so she looked at me. She's cute because she's only two inches taller than me.

she just stared at me so I said again, "Hmm sister, can I ask a question?"When I ask her again because she seems to have no intention of taking her eyes off me, my face is not dirty.

"Hey, ma'am, what's that?" She said to me with her hand, my brow furrowed when she called me, do I look like a teacher for her to call me ma'am.

I just smiled at her, "Please don't say ma'am that I'm a teacher and also don't act like you're older than me."

I could see in her eyes that she was still hesitating to call me Kia so I held her hand "Go Kia what are you going to ask." She said so I just smiled.

"Where is the kitchen because I can't see it, I'm almost lost in this mansion." I frowning, because it's so wide that I'm really lost.

she laughed a little at me, was there something funny in what I said?

She must have seen that I was surprised so she closed her mouth and her face became serious.

"I'm sorry, you'll get used to it, come and I'll join you in the kitchen." she said to me so I just nodded in response.

Three minutes later, we arrived at the kitchen, I passed by it earlier, it doesn't seem like it's a kitchen, I think my sister is playing a trick on me.

"Sister, we went to the wrong place, it's not the kitchen." How come it's wider than my room and it's even cleaner.

she laughed again at what I said, "HAHAHA, this is the kitchen." she told me while laughing.

"Ah, this is the kitchen, that's how I smell."I promised in my mind that I just scratched the back of my neck because of embarrassment.

"Sorry, it doesn't look like a kitchen." I told her. she just nodded in response.

"Oh, it's over there, come and let's eat." Manang told me so I looked at their behavior, manang was there with the nannies but seven nannies were here.

That's how surprised I was when they were smiling at me. I didn't notice that because my mind was already wandering too much.

I smiled at Manang as well as the nannies sitting in the empty seat.

We started eating, no one planned to break the silence.

It was noticed that they did not have ma'am Sheen and sir Lix as well as their son sir Kalix.

so I looked at manang susan who was already looking at me, she noticed that I had something to ask so she was just waiting for what I had to say so I opened my mouth to ask a question.

"Ahmm...manang susan where are they ma'am Sheen?" I asked manang susan.

Manang smiled before answering, "They ate first, we maids are late to eat." So I just nodded and didn't ask.

"Hi Kia, I'm Alliyah Maxwell." Alliyah smiled at me, she was the one I asked earlier where the kitchen was, I smiled at her.

"Hmm, I'm Kia Sy Delvuesta, just call me Kia instead of ma'am, I'm also their worker, ma'am sheen." I talked to them for a long time.

They all nodded and introduced themselves one by one.

We finished the meal happily, it was so good that they were with us every day, I missed them mother and youngest when we were eating.

"Kia, manang susan said that you should rest and tomorrow you will go to Señorito Kalix's company early, it will be nine o'clock in the evening." Fye promised me with a long smile, I knew her because she introduced herself to me a while ago I thought she was a quiet girl but as time went on I found out that she was talkative, She is Fye Sanchez one of my friends today in this mansion.

I smiled first and nodded in response, "What time do I go to Sir Kalix's company?" Because I don't know what time they didn't tell me either, sir and ma'am.

"It's 7:00am in the morning, you should be there right at 7 because señorito doesn't want to keep him waiting." I wake up so early, I'm already awake at 5 in the morning, I smile and nod.

"Alright thank you fye I'll go upstairs first, goodnight." I didn't wait for his answer when I went upstairs.

I'm already here in my bed and lying down "I hope nothing bad happens to me at work tomorrow. "It's the last time I'm going to get sleepy.

I woke up because of the sound of the alarm clock, I don't remember that I set the alarm, it's impossible that someone entered my room.

but last night I felt someone enter my room and I also felt something touching my cheek, maybe it was just my imagination, I just had to take a shower and today is my first day at work.

I'm a little nervous mixed with excited, of course I'm nervous because my first day at work might be sloppy, which is embarrassing, of course I'm excited because I'll have a place there and I'll have friends.

I just smiled in my mind. I got up and entered the bathroom to take a shower.After a few minutes, I took a shower and got dressed, what I'm wearing now is a black blazer, black slacks, white short sleeve plain blouse and black flat shoes, I don't know how to wear heels so I might trip if I wear that.

Manang gave it to me last night after we ate because Manang said that this is what I will wear today so I took it from you, Ma'am said that he would have given me these things to wear, but he said that I am asleep so it's up to Manang he bought it.

I just powdered and lipbombed, I was really surprised because I don't remember anyone giving me a lipbomb, I just saw it on my desk with the words "This is for you, please used it" written on it, luckily I understand of english.

then if I fix myself, I'll go downstairs, I might still be late for work, I remembered what Fye told me that Sir Kalix didn't want to keep him waiting.

I'm here in the kitchen now, eating because the manang said that maybe I won't be able to eat properly at sir kalix's company because there is a meeting at some point, so I have to eat first, it's only 6:30 and I still have 29 minutes to go there.

After eating, it was decided to leave and go to Sir Kalix's company, I would have taken a taxi, but the husband of manang susan, manong joseph, said he would take me so that I would not be involved.

I didn't refuse and I might still be late and manong joseph was right so I won't have to join anymore and save more money..

I'm now in the car, I still have five minutes before arriving at the company, I'm restless in my seat and know if manong joseph is noticing me.

"Oh don't be nervous, you can do it and besides Señorito Kalix's employees are kind and besides Sir Kalix is ​​also kind so don't be nervous." Manong Joseph said to me for a long time so somehow my nervousness in my chest lessened.

"Thank you, Joseph."I promised him a smile, he just smiled at me.

"Lord, I hope my first school day goes well, guide me today, I hope my first day at Sir Kalix's company will be good." Close your eyes and pray to the Lord.

I'm really nervous because my hands are still cold and my knees are also shaking that at any moment I could fall.

"Iha we are here, you will always remember that this is for your family, you can do it." Mr. Joseph promised encouragement, I nodded in response.

The man said it was right for my family so I should be able to handle it, I started walking and you immediately noticed the face of Sir Kalix posted on the side and the words "Welcome to SLYVESTRE COMPANY"

even if he doesn't smile, he's still handsome in his appearance, you can't see any emotion on his face, he's very serious if you look at him but he's still just handsome.

"What's the matter kia, fix it, you came here to work, not to make your boss's face tick."I preached to myself while slapping my cheek.

I cried because of my surprise, my head was breaking, I shook my head if I told myself.

After the crazy thing I did outside, I went inside the Slyvestre company.

I was just about to enter inside the guard blocked me.

"Do you have an appointment with boss Kalix?" The guard asked me.

"Guardian, I am the secretary of sir Kalix, I am Kia Sy Delvuesta." I said

"Is that so, I'm sorry to come in ma'am, just find the manager Syche Wayne so she can guide you upstairs."

I smiled and nodded, I'm not really used to being called ma'am.

"Maybe I should train him because I am sir kalix's secretary." I talk to myself.

"Is she our new secretary?"

"I don't know."

"She's so beautiful."

"Yes, that's mine, no one can take it away. "

"Maybe that's the same as the other secretary who worked here, she will also flirt with the boss."

I looked at the people whispering, I couldn't help but feel shy because they were looking at everyone.

There were many others who whispered so I just let it go and went through the work I came here not to listen to what they were talking about.

I started walking again, while walking someone called my name so I turned around.

"Secretary Kia!!" She called me.

"Why?" I said politely.

"Are you Kia Sy Delvuesta?" she also asked me, and nodded in response.

"It's true what they said that you're beautiful, you're cute." she said while squeezing my cheek, so I winced in pain.

"I'm sorry, yes, I'm Syche Wayne, the manager here at Slyvestre Company." Ah, maybe that's what the guard was talking about earlier.

I smiled at her, she was actually beautiful, white and with long hair.

"Hello, ma'am syche." I bowed down, the manager was already in front of me, I didn't even notice, it was embarrassing.

she laughed a little at my act, eh?

"What's wrong ma'am, syche I'll just be your friend and besides, I know you're kind and you're not like the others who were sir kalix's secretary." Syche's said for a long time, huh why not me like the others who were sir Kalix's secretary?

"Alright syche." Smile as promised.

"Come on and I'll take you to your office and you're lucky, you're the only secretary who can share the same office with you." she said excitedly.

"H-huh, what do you mean? "she's a mess, why am I lucky? I've been looked at and embarrassed, what luck is there.

"That's how it is." she started at the same time as the elevator opened, we went inside at the same time and he pressed something on the side, I didn't want to know that when you press it, you will buy which floor you are going to.

"Sir Kalix has had many secretaries, but none of them share the same office. It seems that you are the first secretary that Sir Kalix will share in his office, I feel like he likes you!" Syche let out a long moan while being thrilled, at the same time as she shouted that she would pee in a few hours from the thrill.

Sir Kalix likes me? That's impossible, he just implicated me here, besides, he's a CEO, he's rich and I'm poor, so it's really impossible for that to happen.

"Maybe not, maybe sir Kalix just trusts me that's why." I told her, so she looked at me as if she didn't like what I said.

I didn't say anything bad, did I?

"Hey, I just saw you, that's why sir was like that, but you're right, maybe sir has faith in you, so you're in the same office together." she agreed with me, making me smile.

Suddenly the elevator opened, meaning we were on the floor that syche pressed "Come on." Syche said suddenly, I was a little surprised because she suddenly appeared.

When we came out, the smiling employees immediately greeted us "Welcome to Slyvestre Company Ms. secretary." They all said and would have bowed if I stopped them.

"Ahmm...don't bow down, I'm also involved here, thank you very much for your warm welcome." I smiled at them so they smiled at me too.

"I'm sure she's different from the secretaries that were hired before."

"Yes, she still looks nice."

"Plus she's beautiful, I'm sure we can get along with her."

"I hope so and besides, I hope she's not like our secretary before."

They were whispering, I wanted to ask why they were talking like that because they didn't like the former secretary, but Syche spoke so I looked at her.

"Come on, don't keep the dear king waiting." she said laughing, what is she laughing at again and who dear king, there is a king here? This is not a palace.

I just shook my head from my thoughts, I nodded to Syche indicating that I responded to what he said, so she smiled at me and we went to Este's office together to Sir Kalix's office,

we stopped at a broken door but I couldn't see what was inside I also looked at the wall but I couldn't see what was inside either, it was the same as the one outside that you couldn't see how many people were inside, that's what called reflective glass, that's rightindeed.

in such manner

so

Syche approached the door and knocked three times.

I'm here now in my office with sir Kalix, we've finished the brewed coffee.

so here I am now reading the thick paper, sir Kalix handed it to me earlier when I arrived inside and he said I should read it, he said everything is written here about the company, the names of employees, guards, janitors and others you will know them all because there are picture opposite their name, company rules are also written here, dos and don'ts as well as former employees and secretaries have their names written here along with their picture, the secretaries who applied are beautiful in this company and besides, they seem to be kind, in case when I found out the reason why they were immediately removed from being a secretary, I could tell if my suspicions were wrong.

It's 7:30 in the evening and I'm here now and I'm fixing my things because I'm going home, sir Kalix said that I should go with him but I refused, because I don't want them to know that I live with Sir Kalix and besides I also don't want the employees to think of me like they used to Secretaries, maybe tomorrow I will be their breakfast because I don't want to be embarrassed.Sir Kalix agreed with my decision so he went home first, Syche was outside our office waiting for me so we could go home together so I agreed.

"Come on, let's go home."I said as soon as I got out of my office with sir, She looked at me and boarded the elevator at the same time, there are many elevators here, the one elevator is only for sir kalix and the one Syche and I are riding is for the employees.

we are now here outside the company waiting for a ride.someone passed by so Syche stopped, she was the first to go down together, we both just talked inside, sometimes he asked me how was the first day at work and I said it was fine, he also asked me if I had a boyfriend that I said no yet, it's not because I don't want to get married, it's not really on my mind yet. At first he didn't believe but later I also believed.

I'm the only one in the taxi now that syche got off.

"Ma'am, where will you get off?" The taxi driver asked, because I haven't said where I'm going to get off yet, I don't want Syche to know that I'm living with sir Kalix, even though we've only just met, I know that she'll just tease me.

"In Slyvestre village."I said to the taxi driver, I saw him nod.

After 15 minutes, I arrived at their mansion ma'am sheen, I got off the taxi and paid.

My guard opened the door for me, when I entered, Alliyah and Fye greeted me, making me smile.

"Come on, eat first, then get dressed, I know if you're hungry." Alliyah promised me with a smile, I nodded and we started to go to the kitchen.

I've already memorized it a bit but behind the mansion and in the other nooks and crannies inside I still don't know.

kitchen, living room and the nannies' rooms, sir and ma'am's room as well as sir Kalix's, that's all I've memorized.

"Oh, you're already there, how was your first day at sir Kalix's company?" Manang susan said, I smiled at her while sitting next to fye.

"It's fine, I haven't done much in sir Kalix's company." I said with a smile, she smiled and we started eating.

Our dinner ended full of laughter, just like last night, our dinner was still as fun.

after eating I went upstairs because I was a bit tired, maybe because I read the thickness of that paper.

I am now in my room, lying down because I finished cleaning my body.

decided to take my cell phone and text mom so she doesn't worry about me.

I took out my cell phone keypad and texted my mother.

To: Mother

- I'm here now in my room mom, my first day at work is fine, take your medicine mom and also eat a lot mom and also mom just say hello to my youngest, dear I bid you both goodnight.

7:48 p.m

once sent, I didn't wait for mom to text and I was overcome with sleepiness.

To be continue...

CHAPTER 3

I woke up because of the alarm clock, I was really surprised because I didn't set it, "It is impossible that there is a ghost in my room." I threatened myself.

I got up from my bed and did my morning routine.

I had just finished taking a shower and brushing my teeth when someone knocked on the door outside my room."Who could that be?"

I opened the door, only half of my head could be seen, I still had no cover, only a towel was covering my body.

"Good morning man."Greetings if you promise, yes manang is the one knocking.

"Good morning too, oh, this is the one you're going to wear, I washed it last night because it's only one of your uniforms, I also set your clock." Susan said for a long time.

"Thank you manang, you are the one who set my clock, I thought it was a ghost who did that hehe." Scratching your head, you are too much to believe in ghosts.

Manang laughed at what I said, it was very embarrassing for me.

"It's really you, oh he's going to get dressed and eat downstairs, ma'am also said you should join them to eat."

"Alright, manang, I'll follow." Manang just nodded and turned his back on me and started walking, I also went inside to get dressed and eat.

I'm here in the kitchen now, ma'am sheena, sir lixter and sir kalix are eating at the same time, sir lixter and I are just eating in silence.

"You are going to go with your sir kalix today because manong joseph is sick so no one will bring you."I smiled and nodded to sir lixter, poor man.

A little bit if sir kalix was peeked to see what his reaction would be to what his daddy said, he was speechless while eating and it seemed that he was fine with me riding.

we went in to eat without saying a word, I'm already here outside their mansion, sir Kalix, he said I'll wait for him and he'll just get his car.

A car stopped in front of me, the car window opened and I saw sir kalix's face.

"Hop in."I walked behind to open the door, but it was closed. "I'm not your driver, idiot." I just winced at what he said.

I opened the front door and sat down, I turned to Sir Kalix before he started the engine.

I met his eyes with no emotion. "Wear your seatbelt." This promise was boring.

Does it have a seatbelt, I looked to my side and saw a thick black cloth similar to Sir Kalix's placed on his body, maybe this is it.

I took it and put it on my body, but the meeting between the two was just like that if I couldn't lock the seatbelt, it was annoying.

I was surprised when Sir Kalix suddenly approached me, our faces were so close that our lips were about to touch.

he suddenly looked at me so I met his eyes again but it was a different kind, I couldn't figure out what kind of emotion I was seeing in him.

He grinned so stupidly that I looked away, my heart rate was so fast, do I have a heart disease?

"Tsk."that's all I heard from him, I breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to his seat and began to operate the engine.

I just looked out the window when he started driving.

"Good morning sir."

"Sir is really handsome."

"Ma'am is also beautiful."

"They are two things."

"No, it's the same as the former secretary."

That's how the people opened up when Sir Kalix and I got inside, I just didn't pay attention to what they were saying, just like Sir Kalix didn't care about his surroundings.

I was about to go to the employee elevator when Sir Kalix suddenly grabbed my waist, I looked at what he did.

"From now on, you will use my elevator, do you understand." Sir Kalix whispered in my ear "With or without my permission." He further promised.

I smiled at him and nodded, "Y-yes sir Kalix."

"Good." He said shortly as the elevator opened, he was still holding my waist.

sir pressed 70 floors and the elevator closed but before that I saw other employees looking at us, some were excited while others were annoyed and angry.

The elevator finally closed and began to move up, we were silent inside the elevator.

I was a little surprised to see the reflection of Sir Kalix in the elevator looking at me, I was surprised by the way he was staring.

sir kalix is ​​handsome, he is tall as far as my shoulders, he has a pointed nose, thick eyebrows, long eyelashes and his face is thin, his lips are a little pink. Is sir kalix wearing lipstick I said in my mind.

What the hell is that, please fix it, Sir Kalix is ​​not gay, I don't think if he can read your mind, he might get you fired from your job.

CONTINUATION 1 [CHAPTER 3]

bThe elevator OPENED and sir kalix and I went out together, all the employees looked at us and sir kalix when we got out.

They were surprised because I was with sir inside the elevator, I know why they were surprised, did they see you with sir inside and then you were the first employee to enter there, who wouldn't be surprised, right?

"What are y'all staring at, go back to your works!!"I was startled by Sir Kalix's shouting, they quickly returned to their work.

Sir Kalix and I started walking inside the office.

"Good morning sir and ma'am."

"Good morning sir Kalix."

"Good morning ma'am."

I smiled and nodded at those who greeted me, but this person with me didn't care. Boss, didn't he even say goodmorning, shaking his head, as promised in my mind.

"Good morning sir kalix, good morning ma'am kia."Syche politely promised us, but I smiled and Kalix nodded and went inside first.

"Goodmorning syche, wow, we're kind, ma'am, what did you eat."laughing when he said that he frowned but suddenly he smiled teasingly with raised eyebrows, I already know that he will tease me again with sir kalix

"Che, you haa what is that why are you and sir Kalix together in the same elevator what did you do to the boss."He said teasingly, did I tell you, even though we only met yesterday, I knew his behavior right away.

"Stop it, syche, I don't have that, besides, I'm his secretary, of course he really needs me to be with him, maybe later he has a meeting and then he won't be with me, how can I tell him that, yes, I have Sir Kalix's number but I know if he's busy and he's not that can be answered."I explained long while looking into his eyes to know if he would believe or not.

"Just make sure that there is no problem with me because you are good with me sir." He assured me "What is wrong with me sir you are talking about."His brow furrowed at what I said, why is he furrowing his brow?

"You know you're beautiful, but you're slow, just go inside and tell sir Kalix his schedules." He said annoyed, why is he annoyed and how slow is my speed, he'll take care of that.

I left him there and walked to the office, I opened the door and saw sir kalix focused on his laptop.

I started walking to my table when I arrived, I sat down and arranged my things, I checked if sir had a schedule.

schedule of meetings

Monday, 20,202*

9:30am with Mr. Falexo

11:00am with Mrs. Chavez

2:35pm with Ms. Mendoza

Tuesday, 21,202*

8:30am with Mr. Hulleza

10:00am with Ms. Texon

after reading Sir Kalix's schedules, I took a ballpoint pen to sign what was written on the paper on my side, Sir Kalix had already signed those so I will sign them.

It's 8:50 in the morning, I've already signed a lot, but there are more for sir kalix, I got up and went to his place to tell him his schedule.

I'm here in front of him, I'm nervous about what to say to him.

He looked at me with questioning eyes. Hoohhh!! You can do it, just say it and I'll calm myself down.

Sir's eyes rose slightly and he was waiting for what I would say." Ahmm sir Kalix you have a meeting with Mr. Falexo at 9:30 this morning."politely, he nodded and stood up.

"Let's go." Sir said coldly, "P-where are we going, sir?"

He looked directly at me, "You're my secretary right?" I nodded to what he said, "Then, what's the secretary doing?" He asked again.

"A-I'll s-tell you the schedule and your assistant." He was nervous to ask.

"Then you need to come with me, im a right?" I nodded "O-opo sir kalix sorry." He ignored what I said and started to go out.

That's because you know you're the secretary, of course you're with all those walks.

I left the office and caught up with sir Kalix waiting for me in the elevator.

I sped up my pace, yes he didn't want to be kept waiting.

"You're too slow."I just bowed to what he said and he started going inside so I followed.

Sir Kalix and I had nothing to say inside so I just hugged my paper, notebook and ballpoint pen so that he and Mr. Falexo could talk about what I could write and report to Sir Kalix.

CONTINUATION 2[CHAPTER 3]

We are here on the 58th floor, it is said that this is where Mr. Kalix and Mr. Falexo will be meeting.

I'm just sitting here inside the meeting area writing down what sir kalix and Mr. Falexo are talking about.

"So...how was it Mr. Slyvestre?" Mr. Falexo said, "I don't like it.sir kalix said without emotion.

"H-huh but Mr. Slyvestre it's more beautiful if we buy that beach resort, you saw how beautiful that place is." Mr. Falexo said for a long time.

Sir Kalix and they were talking about your resort in Palawan, it is beautiful and the only thing is that it is a very hidden place.

Sir Kalix looked at me so I got nervous "Ms.Delvuesta what do you think?" Why I don't know anything about that "S-sir?"because of the shock that was the only thing that came out of my mouth.

"What do you say about that beach resort, you can suggest." I was still hesitating whether to speak.

"But Mr. Slyvestre she's just your secretary she do-."

"I'm waiting Ms. Delvuesta." Sir Kalix promised with a mixture of annoyance.

"Ahmm..mr.Falexo, the place you chose is beautiful, that beach resort is wide and beautiful, but it is a very remote and isolated place, the tourist will not be able to see it if it is in the most hidden place."

"And besides, the price of the beach resort is too expensive, maybe no tourists come, it's far away and the price is still expensive." I promised Mr. Falexo again.

"What are you implying Ms.Delvuesta."He firmly promised me, feeling that he could hurt you because of what I said.

I was scared of his face like this tiger is very angry with you, like he's going to lick me, he's scary.

"I just want to say, Mr. Falexo, he is too dear and too secretive, there are many more beautiful people out there than the pin-." He cut off what I was going to say.

"Do you think I care about what you say, you're just a secretary here not a boss!!?" Mr. Falexo shouted angrily at me.

I'm nervous, I want to cry, I didn't say anything bad, I just suggested like sir kalix said, if he doesn't like my suggestion, he can talk to me without yelling at me.

"You have no right to raise your voice to her, get out!"sir kalix said angrily and then stood up and came to me.

"But-No more buts Mr.Falexo this meeting is done, all of you, you can leave now!!"Cut off what Mr.Falexo was going to say so people left inside except for Mr.Falexo.

"Why are you standing, I said get out!!"Sir Kalix shouted angrily, Mr. Falexo looked at me slightly and his eyes seemed to indicate something.

"We're not done yet, Ms. Delvuesta." Mr. Falexo promised me softly enough for me to hear, I just bowed because of the nervousness.

I listened to his footsteps as he was leaving, I was still in the same position bent over because of me, Mr. Falexo got angry and Sir Kalix even made him talk.

I felt a palm of Sir Kalix caressing my lower back.

"Are you okay?"Sir Kalix asked worriedly, I looked at him and smiled before nodding.

"Yes, sir Kalix, s-sorry because of what I did, it wasn't my fault-It's okay you don't need to say sorry, it's not your fault." When sir Kalix interrupted, I smiled.

I'm here now at sir kalix's mansion, I thought it was sir and ma'am sheena's mansion that belonged to sir kalix, but ma'am and sir said they just missed their son, they're leaving tomorrow that they are going back to France because they also have business there.

It's 3:45pm today, sir kalix sent me home so that I don't think about what Mr. Falexo was telling me earlier, I would have refused because I didn't feel that and besides, sir kalix needs me because I'm his secretary but he doesn't want me my boss allowed me to stop yellinghe is my employee.I'm bored here in my room as soon as I wake up, I miss my mother and youngest I want to call them but at this time I know they are doing a lot.

I'm just rolling around here inside, I'm bored, what can be good to do.

"AhaI'll just go around the whole mansion, after all, I don't know the ins and outs of it yet." I promised myself we'll be together on my bed.

I was already downstairs, while walking towards the back of this mansion, Fye caught my eye, I quickly went to her.

"Phew!"I shouted when he was about to turn, he stopped walking and looked at me "Oh kia, why?" He said coming closer to me.

"Do you have anything else to do?" I want him to accompany me around the entire mansion.

"Nothing, I just finished work, why do you need anything?"

"Hmm..you can join me for a tour of the entire mansion. I haven't toured it yet." I said while looking outside.

"Ahh, that's all, yes, let's start." He said, "Sure, if you don't have anything to do, maybe I'm bothering you." Fye made sure to promise.

"Why, my work is done, come on and don't act." I nodded and we went around the entire mansion together.

I just looked around for the next time I come here, I already know if it will come out.

I saw someone gardening, "Fye, we are there, I want to see the plants." When I called Fye, he nodded.

CONTINUATION 3[CHAPTER 3]

"The flowers are beautiful." Smiling as promised, we are already here among the flowers, many flowers are fun and besides, they are colorful.

"Man, what's the name of this flower." It's violet with white, if you look at it, it looks like a beautiful flower.

"That's a pansy flower, she's beautiful." I nodded at what he said, it's a pansy flower, I read that it means something.

"Isn't it true that the pansy flower symbolizes the feeling of love." I said, mother told me this, mother told me before that father gave mother a pansy flower, so mother likes it because of so beautiful

"Yes, how did you know that?"I smiled at this "My mother said, do you want to know what it means?" I asked them, they both nodded.

"This Pansy Flower symbolizes emotional love. You can give a Pansy flower to almost anyone you love in your heart."they were just listening to what I was saying so I continued my story."The perfect gift for a mother, partner, or friend, it is best used as a symbol of platonic love. Pansies can also represent free-thinking and consideration." I promise long theirs.

"That's what it means, it's great." Fye said clapping, her mother just told me that.

"What your mother said is right ma'am kia." I smiled at her while looking at the pansy flower, she looked so beautiful.

Fye and I are here now at the swimming pool, the swimming pool is right here behind the mansion and it is said to be 20ft deep, Fye told me.

Fye and I just walked until we could go around the whole mansion.

now I know the way around here in the mansion, I won't get lost anymore.

I looked at fye while he was talking. Fye is fun to be with, he is talkative and also cheerful, I remembered my brother who is talkative and cheerful, he is also the type who never runs out of topics.

Fye noticed that I had been looking at him for a while.

"It's okay bro, I just remembered something, it's okay for me to talk." He smiled as he promised.

"Mama!!"Fye and I turned to manang when he called us, we approached his place.

"Why, manang." Fye and I said at the same time, we looked at each other and then just laughed, and manang also laughed.

"I really want you two, oh by the way, they are leaving ma'am and sir, come here ma'am is looking for you." Now they are leaving tomorrow, fye and I nodded and together while walking.

"Bye ma'am sir, be careful."

"Bye ma'am shee, sir lix."

We shouted goodbye to ma'am and sir lixter, they were already inside the car.

We waved as the taxi driver started the engine, they also waved back to us and the taxi started to drive, we waited for the taxi to disappear from our sight before we went inside.

"By the way."Manang stopped walking when I spoke. "Does Sir Kalix know that Ma'am Sheena and Sir Lixter have left?" Manang nodded at me.

"Yes, sir, every time they leave the country of the Philippines, they say good-bye to Señorito."

"Alright, I'll leave you there for now and I'll cook something for us to eat later." My ears perked up when I heard that, and I smiled in no time.

I slightly looked at manang with a big smile, his brow furrowed at my behavior.

"Hehehe manang, can I help you cook since I'm not doing anything." I hope my miss manang will agree to cook as well.

"Are you sure you might do something?" Manang said hesitantly.

"Yes, I'm sure, please."I made puppy eyes and sniffed a little, the manang just shook his head at me, "Alright, come on." I smiled and entered the kitchen first.

"HAHAHAHA who made you cry?" Alliyah said laughing, I didn't answer it and wiped my tears and sniffed.

"HAHA, manang, you made Kia cry." Fye said, but Manang felt sorry for Manang, and Manang hit both of them, so I laughed.

"You two stop there and you two go ahead and cut the onion, let's see if you don't cry." Anas said.

Yes, I'm cutting onions for the marinated chicken because it's Sir Kalix's favorite dish. I've been crying for a while now because of the onion, it's so bad because it's so big it hurts my eyes.

"Alright, that's mine, look, I won't cry."Alliyah promised arrogantly while grabbing a knife from me, I gave it to her.

"Just wash the chicken there." Alliyah ordered so I followed her.

while I was cleaning the chicken I heard some laughter so I turned to the people laughing, I just laughed like that when I saw that Alliyah's eyes and nose were red and I just laughed like that when she was crying.
