Chapter 28

"What are you doing here?"

I startled when i heard a barritone voice spoke behind my back.

So i immediately turned to see who it was and saw Reige stood there.

He's sweating and looked exhausted from jogged..

Wearing in his sleeveless shirt and a black under armour shorts.

My eyes widened as i watched him all over.

I've seen him on tv when i was in U. S, but it's a different feeling watching him near and closer.

He looked at me coldly.

No expression.

Just a pure cold stares.

Seemed like he's not even surprised by my sudden appearance.

I remembered what Vince told me.

He's a beast.

So i won't be surprised if he will give me that kind of look, afterall these years.

"You jogged?"

I asked even if it was really ovious where he came from.

Damn it.

My knees trembled.

And i can feel my body's shaking too.

I felt nervous to whatever his reaction, but....

I sighed.

He walked towards my way and i followed where he goes using my eyes.

Shit.

My fucking heartbeat's so freaking fast.

Damn it.

"What are you doing here"? "

He asked once again without looking at me.

I was amazed by his expression.

Although i've seen him before when he was mad, but i never seen him this mad as hell.

He's really angry.

Vince was right.

And i don't know if i can have the courage to deal with him this time.

I don't know if i can do the favor that Vince had asked me.

Never don't know something to do about it either.

Even if i got nervous from his reaction, i can't stop myself to make fan of him.

His brows defined and his eyes were all heavy because of his anger.

He looked as sexy as hell.

And as handsome as ever.

Damn it.

Knowing that he has already a girlfriend.

And he's happily committed.

So it's unhealthy for me to think about him like this way.

I was thinking about our son.

Damn it.

I was thinking if Shane Sandoval's also here?

Well, maybe no.

Vince won't asked me to come if Shane is just around.

Reige raised his brow on me when he noticed my stares towards him.

"I'm asking you. Don't tell you are the newly hired secretary that Vince told me?"

He sarcastically said.

He brushed his hair using his finger and lifted his head a bit and turned at me again.

Shit.

He's still hot as ever.

I cleared my throat and blinked because of the surprised from the hardness of his voice.

"Yes, i am." i answered and lifted my head.

"Do you think you can be one of the effective? Tss."

He said while answered at me annoyingly.

Seemed like i wasn't gone for years from the way he talked.

He didn't even bothered to greet me.

Damn it.

God.

Baby, please pray for mommy please.

I don't know if i can handle your dad, this time.

I don't even know if i can deal with him any longer.

I remained my look on him.

My eyes widened when i heard what he said but i made sure he didn't noticed it.

He brushed his hair again using his fingers and went inside of his room.

I remained stood still outside.

I didn't know if i'm going to follow him and get inside too or what.

I saw he took his phone and glanced at me first before he put his phone in his ears.

So i cleared my throat and decided to went inside.

This is the first time i came here in his resort.

And i'm really amazed when it comes about his taste of furnitures and designs.

I remembered how his condo amazed me when i lived with him there years ago, and amazed again looking at his villa now.

I grabbed my laggages while he just kept on watching me all over and his phone was in his hand while placed it in his ears.

"Vince."

As expected.

I sensed that he'll call Vince immediately once i got here and i wasn't wrong.

"You didn't tell me that my new hired secretary is unqualified."

I sighed.

It was hard for me to take my other bags and put it on the sofa.

I glanced at the room where Vince asked me to stay in.

And I also listened to whatever they were talking about too.

Reige seemed really annoyed.

I know already about his reaction once i arrive and he saw me, but he can't do anything about it.

I was hired by Vince and not by him, anyway.

"How stupid. I don't need someone who's unprofessional and inexperienced about this kind of job!"

He turned from me and continued talking to his cousin.

My eyes widened and my jaw dropped because of what i heard from him.

Unprofessional?

Inexperienced?

Damn this beast.

Did he know what he's talking about.?

No matter what you say asshole, i will still give a fucking try on you.

Damn it.

I didn't voice it out.

I'm here for a favor and..... My for my guilt too.

I am not here to piss him everyday.

"What? I can handle here even without a fucking secretary! "

He put down the phone after, and sighed heavily.

He really looked problematic.

He stared at me with heavy looked from his eyes.

So, i looked at him too.

"Reige."

I started.

"I know you're angry and i want to apologize for what i did years ago. But this is the only way-"

"Whatever. Just put down all your things inside that room."

He said and pointed the other room.

"I Don't fucking give a damn to whatever happened years ago. It's not worth to remember. So i don't need your explaination as well."

He coldly said.

My chest hurt. Really.

"And i can't do anything about this. You're already here. Vince hired you anyway and not me. And i don't have time to find a new one too. I'm busy."

He said and closed his eyes intently.

I glanced to his phone where he landed at the top of the table and walked through his room without saying anything.

Seemed like, my presence doesn't matter at all.

Damn it.

He didn't even fucking let me explain!

I remained stood still there.

Still surprised because he didn't even let me finished about my explaination.

I glanced at my laggages and the door's room where i need to go in, for a stay.

I let out a heavy sighed.

He's really angry at me and i know i am at fault.

Shit.

I need to burry that on my mind so i can stop myself to say something harsh against him.

I am determined to do this though.

I made a mistake.

I left him years ago without telling him my reason.

So i understand if he treated me like this way. Now.

But i won't give up.

It's out of my character and principle to give up easily in anything.

I grabbed my laggages going through the colored wooden door.

I held the door handle and opened it, slowly.

A white bed, one cabinet, two sidetables beside the bed and one chair was only there.

I opened the door of the bathroom and checked what's inside.

It's fine for me though.

I even lived a worst place before i became famous and live a comfortable place to stay.

So this one is convinient for me.

Not as convinient as Reige's room but still fine.

I sat down on the edge of the bed and remained myself dumbfounded for a couple of minutes.

I can't believed what's happening.

Years ago, i was fully determined to never get involved to Reige's life again after i left, but here i am. Again.

In his place once again.

Minutes later, i heard a footsteps from outside of my room.

So i opened the door of my room to check it out.

I saw Reige in his formal suit. And he's ready to go.

"You have a meeting now?"

I asked while watchin him busy looking for the right key.

He turned to me while his brow raised.

"Isn't it ovious? Do you expect me to stay here all day with you? Tss! I have more important things to do rather than staying here. I have a branch office here. It's just foot steps away from here. So ask the receptionist for the location and follow me there. Your job is to help me out, right? Why don't you move and start you job too? "

He said.

And he's oviously bad trip.

Make your temper cool down Reige because you are going to deal with me everyday.

Like it or not.

After he went out, i immediately changed my clothes inside the toilet.

I prepared myself and made myself ready to go too.

I went through his office.

Wearing my black pencil cut skirt, and a white sleeveless top. And a black peep toe shoes.

I didn't mean to wear this just to seduce him or what.

I just know that this is the usual corporate attire for a secretary.

Knowimg that your boss is one of the owner of richest company worldwide.

And to think that i made an effort to buyed it, just for here.

Damn it.

I asked the receptionist about the location of his office.

And what he said was true.

His office is just foot steps away from here so it's not hard to locate where it exactly placed.

And one more thing, i don't even need to grab a taxi too.

The staff from his office guided me going through the glass door with a little table and a swivel chair beside in one big pottery.

"Mr. Del Rio said, that this will be your office."

The staff said.

I nodded and roamed around my eyes to the small table.

I put down my bag and seated there.

I started arranging the messed papers, paper clips, and everything inside in it.

I saw a computer beside, so i started to operate it, and changed the password too.

When i became famous, i got the chance to study and learned about anything while working.

Architectural design became my passion when i started my modelling career.

But i stopped it, when i agreed to Reige's agreement years ago.

Maybe because designs can attract people especially when you're in a show business industry.

So it maybe the reason to caught my attention about passion.

And, It really helped me big time.

I changed the password and fixed some files.

Hours have passed but i never seen Reige's sign from his office.

And i've been seated for a couple of hours already but yet, i didn' t notice any of his signs.

I looked at those staffs who passed by, in front of me who seemed more busy than me.

I felt sleepy so i decided to make a cup of coffee.

I was thinking if some secretarty will voluntarily make some coffee for their boss, even if they weren't asked to do it?

For me, it's not a bad idea to give him a cup of coffee.

I am his secretary afterall, right?

I was thinking of what kind of coffee does he wants then?

When we lives in the same roof together years ago, i didn't get a chance to make a coffee for him, even once. Because my schedules were hectic.

And we're not into real relationship too, so i didn't bother.

Maybe i will know later what probably kind of coffee he wants, after i gave this.

I made a cup of coffee for him too.

One for me,and one for him.

How sweet.

I knocked on the door of his office before i opened it slowly.

I immediately saw him when i got in.

His sat in his swivel chair and in front of him was his wide working table.

He violently let out a deep sighed when he noticed my presence.

He slowly put down the papers he was holding and gave his full attention on me.

"What is it, Miss. Gomez?"

He formally asked.

I walked directly to his table and landed immediately the coffee i made, at the top of his table as i got near.

He looked offended because of my presence.

If Geu can see his father right at this very moment, maybe he'll surely give a punch.

Damn it.

Asshole.

"I made a cup of coffee for you."

I happily said feeling proud for what i did.

"Didn't tell my staff on you that you need to wait for my call first, before you do something?"

I frowned.

"Call? What call? I made you a coffee because i was thinking that maybe you need it."

"Have i called you and ask for it?"

He said.

The irritation in his expression was oviously exposed.

Damn him.

Damn this asshole.

God.

Don't push the limitation of my patience, Reige.

I sighed silently.

"No. But i made this because i was thinking that maybe you need it. If you don't want, then you can simply tell me that you don't, so will be the one to drink this-"

"Simple instruction Miss. Gomez. To answer only when you were asked. To carry out orders when you were ordered. Did i call you and ask to make a coffee for me, then?"

He sarcastically asked.

I closed my eyes and sighed heavily.

"It was part of my initiative Reige-"

"I don't need your initiatives. I need you to answer my orders. And i didn't asked you, right?"

He shook his head like he's too disappointed.

Damn him

Damn this beast.

"I am your secretary. I am just being thoughtful-"

"I need you to carry out my orders with precision. And my order is for you to wait my call and command before doing anything. And you did not. Clearly. You're at fault Miss. Gomez! You are wasting my time here! Now, leave! Leave with you coffee! I don't need it. "

He madly said,and pointed out the door of his office.

He really took it personally about what happened between us years ago.

He's really ruthless.

Shit.

My jaw dropped because of what he said.

I looked down the coffee right in front of him because my chest hurt from the way he treated me.

My body's shaking.

And my body trembled too.

The water from my eyes started to fell.

But i bit my lower lip to stop it.

I don't know what i'm going to do right away.

He was fucking right.

I didn't wait for his order first, before i did it.

Damn it.

It's my fault again..

"Are you serious Reige-"

"Please stop wasting my time. I have more important things to do rather than spend my time with you and discuss about this non-sense thing."

He annoyingly said and picked up the papers that he read earlier and started to read it again.

I let out a deep breath.

I was thinking about my son.

Shit.

I need more patience.

I took the coffee and lifted it up. And went out from his office.

I wAs scolded by my manager way back then, especially when it comes to work. But she never scolded me like how Reige scolded me now.

Damn it.

Only him did it. Just him.

Almost everyday, that was the scenario.

Small mistake, then he immediately scolded me.

I and i just made myself relax to regain my patience.

Villa to work.

Work to villa.

That was usually my routine everyday for the past three weeks.

No progress at all.

But every night i didn't skip to call my son when i got already inside of my room so i won't miss him.

He's my everything.

So, need to assure about his safety too.

"I miss you mommy."

Geu said on the line.

One night when i got home and felt exhausted.

My son is only my reliever.

Anf I really missed missed him, so damn much.

"I miss you too baby!"

I happily said and smiled.

Geu is such a sweet person not like his father.

And i love him more than anything.

"More patience, Cath. I don't have time to find new one if you will leave. And you're almost a month already. Unlike from his previous one."

Vince chuckled one time when i called him and told him what Reige did to me.

Whatever.

Not bad though.

I bid my goodbye to Vince and i asked him to send my regards to Trexie and Zamiah.

" Take all the files and arrange it in alphabetical order. I want a well-organized files in my office."

Reige said and put down the one hundred list of tittled files at the top of my table.

The hardest tasked since i started working here.

It made me almost going crazy when i started fixing it.

Damn it.

And the worst thing is, he gave it around three o'clock in the afternoon.

Shit.

If he could just gave it earlier, then i probably done it earlier too.

But the asshole gave me two hours before the end of an office hours.

Damn it.

Everyone went home from office.

And i left alone.

I stood and went through the door of his office to check if he's still there.

I knocked it first for the thought that i might make him annoyed if i will get in without his permission.

I was thinking of having dinner with him together too, but when i opened the door, the dim light in his room was the only thing i caught inside.

He's not here already!

Damn him.

How long i'm going to endure all this kind of treatment from him?

I looked down the floor and closed the door of his office and went back to my table.

I glanced at the papers i didn't finish to alphabetize.

He didn't tell me that i'm going to finish all these, right?

So instead of staying there, i took my bag and went out immediately from there.

"Hello." Trexie called me when i was going home to Reige's villa.

"How are you there?"

She asked.

I sighed.

"I'm fine. Reige is really hard to please, Trex.Even at work. He made everything hard for me."

I gasped and looked at the way headed to the beast's resort.

"Good thing he accepted you, right? Knowing that he's mad at you. Big time. Vince got busy. He didn't informed me about what's going on you there, so i called you."

I rolled my eyes.

This is all because of Vince.

This was his idea afterall.

I don't know what he really up to,but...damn.

Now, i regretted why i accepted this.

I should' ve let my guilt killed me. Rather than staying here with him but seemed liked i'm just nothing.

Damn it.

"If i won't let him treated me like the way how he treated me everyday, jesus! We're probably in a battle everyday too. But... Damn it. Knowing that i am at fault. Shit. "

Trexie laughed.

"He's still rude towards you until now?"

"Of course! As hell! And he just let the day ended without giving me a glanced or even smile a bit. Even once! And you know, he scolded me just because i didn't wait him to ask me first. Damn him!"

I stopped and gritted my teeth.

Few more steps and i'm already at Reige's villa.

I have the spare key of his room in my bag.

I took it earlier at the conference room because i was asked by him to take it.

Damn.

" Seduce him, Cath. I know sooner he'll give up."

Trexie and her suggestion.

She laughed even more when she noticed my silence.

"No way in hell that i'm going to do that, Trex!"

I shook my head.

I slow down the tone of my voice for the thought that maybe he's just around.

"He will surely give in, Cath. Trust me."

I glanced at the area where he usually parked his car.

And noticed that his limousine wasn't there yet.

He wasn't home yet?

But, it's already night.

Where did he goes, then?

Did Shane arrived and he gave a company?

Of course she's the love of his life.

Damn.

Thinking about him made my chest hurt again.

Or maybe, he's with someone else while his girlfriend isn't around.

Oh! I forgot that he's a womanizer.

The womanizer who took out my virginity years ago.

And the womanizer who's the father of my son.

Shit.

And unfortunately, he didn't know.

And i don't have plan to let him know too.

For what anyway?

He's happy now.

"Low down your pride, Cath."

"There's no other way to change his beast mode, Trex. Even if i will seduce him it won't work."

Trexie chuckled.

"By the wayTrex, maybe i can't attend Zamiah's christianing party. You know, and i don' t think i am allowed to leave even a day."

"No worry. We will just put your name on the list."

I sighed.

The reason why i'm home was that, but now. Seemed like it didn't.

I was already inside of Reige's villa when Trexie cut the call.

I was thinking too, about her suggestion.

Jenny called me too a moment ago just to asked about us, here.

And i gave her an assurance that we're fine.

But at the same time, i check something what's inside the fridge for me to cook.

I should cook something.

What if, he eat outside then?

At least i tried, right?

I need to buy something for Trexie's daughter even if i won't be there for her daughter's christianing.

I hadn't changed my clothes yet because i decided to cook first before i go and change.

I'm here in his kitchen and was thinking about something to cook.

I checked the wall clock and saw it's almost ten o'clock in the evening already.

But he didn't still home yet.

Where is he?

I cooked pork chops and put it in a white plate after i cooked it.

I landed it in a wide table.

I also prepared fork and spoon.

I'm done preparing, But still he didn't home yet.

So instead of waiting for him, i went inside of my room to take a shower.

And changed of my clothes too.

I was almost done of changing my clothes when i heard the main door opened.

So, i immediately went out from my room just to see Reige

Wearing my pink nighty short paired with spaggetti strap, i'm feeling fresh already.

I didn't tied up my hair too. I just kept it loosen.

Reige looked at me with an irritation in his expression.

As usual.

Our eyes met as he went in.

"Welcome home!"

I happily greeted him with a wide smile.

He sat on the sofa and unbuttoned some buttones of his long sleeve.

I snorted.

He didn't greeted me back.

Damn it.

And his pissed facial expression remained.

"Have you eaten?"

I kept my voice happy just to prevent any fight against him.

"I cooked some pork chops. You want?"

I asked again and pointed out the table where i placed the food i cooked.

I perfectly cooked it, so hopefully he'll like it.

That's, if he will eat.

Knowing that the beast will always be a beast.

" No need. I ate already. "

My smile suddenly fade.

I felt like all the energy that i have, got lost when i heard his answer.

I felt disappointed.

And damn, i can't almost handled it.

It doesn't matter anyway.
