Ashton Salazar

“ You’re not my Mommy and you will never be” the little girl shouted at her daddy’s new girlfriend. Kate couldn’t hold her temper, she then slapped the little girl.

“What the hell Kate! You don’t have to hurt my daughter, I told you to give her a little time to get to know you” Ashton hissed and gritted his teeth

“I’m sorry I--- I – I didn’t mean it…. I was just carried away. I’m sorry baby” Kate realizes what she has done

“ I hate you, daddy, I hate you,” the little girl said while crying and ran out of the office

“ Sir, I’ll take care of it,” I said then ran out of the office to find Megan.

It’s been 3 years since I got the job at BLOOMING FURNACE JEWELRY as a secretary. I’m so happy because I can work for a well-known company in the Philippines. I also know the story of my boss Sir Ashton, when he got drunk in the office he accidentally shared it with me.

His wife left Megan when she was about 6 months old just to go with another man. They’re married, but only in the paper she loved Brianna so much that he will do anything for her, but when he found out that Brianna is cheating he confronted her and ended up leaving them. Brianna left a divorced paper before leaving him. And now Megan is already 5 years old.

Megan doesn’t like his daddy’s new girlfriend because she saw how bad Ma’am Kate is. And so do I, I also witnessed how bad Kate treated Megan and Ashton employees.

I saw Megan in the garden so I walked towards her. “Hey, kiddo!” I said while looking at her

“Daddy doesn’t love me anymore” she then said while still crying

“Don’t say that baby girl daddy loves you so much” I hug her tight. Megan is a sweet girl. She’s a lovely little girl that you can have the fun of. She sobs “ I hate them all!”

“So you mean, you also hate me?” I asked and smiled at her. “No, of course, you’re an exception,” she said then giggled.

I saw the red marks on her right cheeks. I felt sorry for her. It must be hard dealing with a war freak person like Kate.

“Can you be my Mommy instead?” I was stunned when Megan asked me. I took a deep breath. “Why don’t you wait for me here? I will just go get my things, then let’s go and have some fun in the Enchanted Kingdom. How about that?” I change the topic quickly. She just nodded.

On my way to Sir Ashton's office, I can still hear them arguing inside, so I decided to wait outside for a second and let them have some time.

“Get out Kate” I heard Sir Ashton cold voice tone. “Baby I’m sorry I was just carried away” Kate explained.

“ This is not the first time you hurt my daughter Kate, hurting her won’t solve anything. I never laid my hands into my daughter's face and yet you have the audacity to slap her? ” Sir Ashton using his serious angry tone

“This will never happen again Ashton just sends your daughter to your parent’s house so we can live without arguing every day if you really love me then you will do everything to keep me” Miss Kate said hesitantly.

“We both know Kate, whom am I going to choose, don’t let me do the honor to choose because you and I both know that I will choose my daughter?” he gritted his teeth. “Then let’s break up, you’re just nothing,” Kate said angrily. “It’s not my loss”

I was stunned when Miss Kate opened the door, slammed it, and walked away. I pulled myself into the Ashton office. I saw him frustrated while sitting in his swivel chair.

“ I am just here to get my things, don’t worry about Megan she’s fine”. When I didn’t hear any response I continued talking. “I will take her to the Enchanted Kingdom to have some fun, I will update you, Sir from time to time” he just nodded.

My name is Crystal Faye Conception, 24 years old. My boss Ashton is 4 years older than me.

As we entered an Enchanted Kingdom Megan's mood suddenly lightened up. She keeps saying that we should ride the BoulderVille Express (kiddie train ride). Then after that, we rode the Stone Egg (Ferris wheel for kids), Bumping Car, Merry Go Round Rides, and Dumbo the flying elephant.

“Miss Faye let’s take a selfie” Megan took out her cellphone and gave it to me. “Look you’re so beautiful here Miss Faye" she giggled. I took her a lot of pictures for remembrance. I also took pictures of myself.

I didn’t realize it was already six o’clock in the evening. So I decided to call Uncle Bert Megan’s driver who is waiting outside.

When we reached the parking lot, I saw Ashton leaning outside the car looking at us.

I was about to open the front seat door when Megan asked me to sit with her in the back seat. Sir Ashton just nodded. Megan won’t sit in the middle so I don’t have a choice but to sit in the middle. I didn't talk for the whole trip, because I'm not used to sitting next to my boss.
