Chapter 1

The wind blew heavily. The cloud is cloudy and it seemed like it will rain soon. Jia quickly got out from her car, grabbing her bag and made her way into the building. She's too early that day. Usually she will be at her workplace like at 7.45 AM, 15 minutes before the work time which is at 8. But that day she finds herself arrive at the office one hour early.

When she steps into the building, its quiet. No one is there but only certain people like security guard. She greets them before walking to the elevator and push the top floor button. She waits for a few minutes before the elevator open and she stepp into it. Just when she is about to push the close button, someone shouts.

"Don't close it!"

Jia quickly push another button to prevent the door from closing. But soon, she regrets from doing so because that person was someone that she despise the most. Someone that always made her pissed off and never let Jia live in peace.

It is none other than Jay, a 20 years old guy, yet the COO of the J.C corporation. Wow, what an honor to be a COO at the such young age but that doesn't matter because to Jia, Jay just a brat who doesn't even respect her as someone who is older than him.

Plus, she's the only one that been treated that way from Jay. Instead of other workers, Jay will respect them since most of the staff there were older than him. The question here, why Jia was the only one that wasn't get a good treat from him? Well, its another story. There's a backstory of it.

"Huh this brat." Jia mutters under her breath when her eyes met with Jay's. She cross her arm over her chest and move backward and standing as far away from the other man.

When the door close, both of them only stay silent. Jia's eyes lingered everywhere in the elevator but Jay. Out of sudden, her phone buzzed showing that there's a message for her. Its from her best friend, Ash.

From: Ash

Let's have lunch together today.

She taps on the screen. Just when she is about to reply, the elevator 'ding' and the door open, meaning that they has arrive at the top floor. Jia steps out first then follow by Jay. She replies to the message while walking to her desk.

To: Ash

Okay. Your treat ehh :P

She giggles when she taps the send button. Maybe she is just too absorb with her phone till she didn't notice her front and cause her to bump into something hard. She looks up and great just great, she just bumped with Jay's broad chest. Jay stares at her with his unreadable expression.

Actually, when they steps out from the elevator, Jay had head off towards his room but stops on his track and turn around to face with Jia who seems so busy typing something on her phone.

"W-what?" Jia stutters.

"Where's your manner Jia?" He asks coldly.

Jia frowns but then something snapped in her mind.

"Good morning Mr. Jay" Jia reply, faking a smile.

Just when she is about to walk away, Eric grab her wrist and pull her into his room. He shoves Jia on the couch and it makes the petite woman to yelp.

"W-what are you trying to do?" Jia asks. She gulps hard when Jay approaches her. Jay take off his blazer and loosening his tie while staring into Jia's soul.

Jia try to stare anywhere but the buff man who's already standing in front of her. Jay leans closer until their faces was inches away, while his hands trap Jia on the couch.

"Emmm, what should I do with you?" He whispers seductively. "Should we making love here?" He adds. Even Jia didn't look at Jay and only stares on her lap, she could feel that Jay is smirking. Probably loving the effect he has on her.

"Let go of me." Jia pleads. Just by hearing those words from her so called boss make her shivers. To be honest, she hates that words and it reminds her of something.

"What if I don't want?" Jay challenge.

"Just let go of me." She begs. Her lips quiver, eyes watery. Jay's face turns pale when he notice that Jia is on the verge of crying. He never thought that it will happen. Well, he only wants to piss Jia off because how dare the blonde didn't greet him when he's her boss. He didn't expect for Jia to act that way. He could see through the blonde's eyes that she's so scared and Jay suddenly feel guilty towards her for the first time.

"You may go." Jay says when he pulls back. Jia quickly get up and rushes out from the room.

Jay sat on his seat, putting his tie back on while staring at Jia's back outside from the room. He can't forget the image of Jia who pleads to him to let go of her. He sighed heavily. He thought to himself that he will not have a secretary for a day. Well, for your information Jia is his secretary and from what had just happened, he didn't think that either he or Jia will feel comfortable with each other even in facts he really needs his secretary because Jia is the one that knew his schedule. But now, he didn't think Jia will even dare to step into his room, maybe not for that day.

****

The clock striked at 12.30 PM and Jia still absorb with her works. After what had happened early in the morning, she tried to erase it by busying himself with works. She feels glad that Jay had call her through the phone and said that he wants to cancel all the meetings that day. After that Jay didn't ask her to come into his room or asked her to do anything. She feels relieves because she can avoid Jay for at least one day. So, she did the unsettle works and turns out that she really forgot about what had happened.

When she was too absorb with the works, suddenly her phone was ringing. She picks up the call without looking at the screen.

"Hello." Jia answered the call.

"Where are you?" Ash is whining at the other line.

"I'm working now. Why?" Jia says while her eyes is checking on some important files.

"Do you forget about your promise to have lunch with me?" He asks and Jia stops from doing anything. She glances at the clock on the computer screen and released a tired sighed. How could she forget about it? She thought.

"I'm sorry Ash." Jia apologize.

"Its okay." Ash says sadly and that cause Jia to feel guilty. "But, more important! Have you fetch Denny at the kindergarten?" Ash asks suddenly and that moment Jia could feel that her face suddenly turning pale. She really forgot about Denny. Its already about 30 minutes since the school ended and Denny must be waited for her.

"Ash!! I forgot about my baby." Jia says, her voice evident with panic. She quickly take her car key and wallet before running towards the elevator and push the button.

"Relax Jia. Calm down. Denny must be there." Ash trying to reassure his friend.

"But, what if something happen?" She asks worriedly when she steps into the elevator.

"Think positive okay?" Ash tried to comfort.

"A-alright." Jia stuttures. Later, the call ended after Ash said to call her after fetching Denny.

She tries so hard to calm down. Ash was right, she shouldn't think something bad will happen to her son. She knew Denny is a good kid.

****

Jia park the car outside the kindergarten. Then, she quickly ran into it only to see there's no one except for the teachers.

"Miss Ashley, do you see my son, Denny?" Jia ask, panting heavily.

"I saw someone took him somewhere." She said and Jia suddenly feel like her legs grow weakened.

"D-do you know who is that person?" She ask, trying to calm herself from thinking negatively

"I'm sorry, I don't know." She apologize. "Maybe his uncle? Don't you remember if you had asked someone to fetch him?" She asks. Jia frown, trying to think if the teacher's words make sense or not.

"I-I think so." She answers. "Sorry for troubling you." Jia says and bid the woman goodbye. She replies with a smile before heading into her office.

Jia is on the verge of crying. His son is missing. Yes she's sure that someone had kidnapped her son because she knew that she never asks anyone to fetch Denny. She pull out her phone and dials Ash's number. After a few seconds, she could hear Ash's voice.

"Have you meet Denny?" Ash asks worriedly. Jia stay silent. Tears already trickle down her face. "Jia?" Ash call out.

"S-someone took him." She breathes out and she could heard a gasps came from Ash.

"Oh no no. It can't be." Ash said panicly. "Don't cry. Wait there, I will come to you and we will find Denny together." Ash say, trying to comfort his friend.

The call ends and Jia just stand there, didn't do anything. Her mind only think about Denny. She cannot imagine how her life without her baby. Tears didn't stop from flowing down and she didn't even bother to wipe them.

She is waiting for Ash to come. She feels glad that Ash is the only one who's always by her side, helping her when she's in need and even treat Denny like his own son. When she is keep thinking about the memories, suddenly he hears a very familiar voice.

"Mom!"

That voice! Jia tilts her head and she sees Denny, standing in front of the gate, with his pokemon backpack sling on his back and a cone of ice cream in his small hand.

"My baby!" Jia exclaims. She quickly ran towards her son before kneeling on the ground and kissing her son's cheek. "Where had you been baby?" Jia asks worriedly.

"Shannon's uncle bring me to ice cream shop when I was crying waiting for you." Denny answer then licks the ice cream.

"I'm sorry." Jia whisper, kissing Denny's forehead.

"So, you have a son?" A question that come out from a familiar voice make Jia freeze in her place.

Jia looks into Denny's eyes before glancing up and her eyes met with her boss' dark orbs. Jay is standing in front of her, crossing his arm over his chest. And at his side, standing a little kid who Jia assumed as Shannon.

"Jay." She whispers.

"So, all this while, you are lying?" Jay ask. His voice sends shiver down Jia's spine.

"T-that... I can explain." She stutters.

What should I do? Jia thought. She is worry of what will happen after this. Jay had known that she has a son and she knew Jay will use this reason to get rid of her.
