CHAPTER 4: A sweet one

They said Sunday is a time to spend with our family, but here we are in a grocery store buying stocks in my boss's condo. It's almost a week since I've started working with her and it's not that bad at all. She keeps telling me to mind my own business but she's the one who overshares what has she done for the day and the things that annoy her. It's chill being her PA since she likes to do things with herself just like what we are doing right now. I volunteered to do this but she said I might not get the EXACT things that she want.

How do I spend my day with her? Fixing her schedules isn't my work. Setting appointments? Not my work too. Answering calls? Kind of, but only if it's her personal phone. My only job is to accompany her. That's it. Of course, it includes buying her coffees, shopping with her, buying groceries, but she won't let me do it alone since she's too strict about the brands.

I thought she's kinda hard to get along but she's a chill person with a talkative mouth. I can say Ali's quite right.

"Do you know what I hate about my fans?" she said that made me look at her. "Is that they don't respect my personal time at all. They keep saying they love me but not letting me rest from the crowd. Look at that. I can't even shop peacefully." She rolled her eyes before facing me. She pouted. "Are you listening? It's not that I wanted you to care, okay? It's just... you should listen because I'm your boss. That doesn't mean that we're close too. I'm just saying these so that you won't be bored being around me. And that doesn't mean I care, okay? stop overthinking." She said then rolled her eyes and continued walking. See? I didn't even utter a single word.

"Do you want something? Like Ice creams or whatsoever? " She asked. "No, I'm fine," I replied before pushing the trolley. "Okay. ice cream it is. Let's try that trend later while watching movies." I faced her. "Uh, your friends will come?" Did she give me a disgusting look? is it? "What are you saying? Of course not. I don't invite my friends to my unit. Why? You'll be home later?"

"Uh, no. I just thought you will hang out with your friends in your unit." She gets a gallon of rocky road ice cream and a box of cornetto. "it's good for us, right?" She asked before putting it in the trolley. "Yeah, I think so."

After grocery, we went back to her unit. Thane doesn't know how to cook so I'm in charge of our meals. Also, her food from mine will be different. She wants to have a curry chicken salad sandwich and she doesn't want to eat rice. As for me, I'll be having brown rice salad and a skinless steamed chicken.

"Too many veggies. Ew," she said while looking at my food. "You should have said you love to eat greens. We can ask someone to get some grasses for you." I just laughed at what she said. She's a picky eater that's why she's always strict when it comes to her food. But she likes my cook anyways.

After eating, I put the dishes in the dishwasher. Thane is fixing the groceries and she doesn't want me to help. She's shooting an ASMR video to upload to her channel.

I went to turn on the TV when her phone rang. I looked at her but she's too busy to even notice it. I answered her phone like I always do.

"Where are you? Tito said you left home. Are you crazy, Thane? You can't even cook nor wash the dishes so how can you live alone? Do you want me to go home? Are you with your friends?" From the voice, I can tell it's a guy. Is this her boyfriend? they have the same vibes though.

"Uh, good afternoon. I'm with Thane right now and she's currently filming something so you can say those things to her later." I said. "Who are you? Why are you with her?"

"Oh, I'm sorry for forgetting to introduce myself. I'm her PA, sir. Grey." I replied with a soft voice since the guy sound so stressed with Thane. "PA? Since when did she let it happen? Btw please tell her to call me when she's done and PLEASE convince her to call me."

"I can't guarantee that, sir. I'm just going to tell her that you called. Thank you." I said before ending the call. I think they fought? I don't want to get involved so I ended it. I'll just tell Thane. I'm afraid I might say things that she doesn't want to tell her boyfriend. He had a good voice though. He also sounds concerned since Thane's alone. Sweet, huh. But what was the reason they fought? And he just found out that Thane is not with her parents? How can a boyfriend do that? I doubt he's sweet. But why am I concerned though? I shouldn't care at all.

"Who called?" Thane asked that making me back to my senses. "Unregistered number. He's asking some things so I ended the call. He said you should call him. He sounds concerned." She sat down a few inches away from me. "Who might that be?"

"Maybe your boyfriend? His voice is sweet even though he's scolding you. I can't even utter a 'hello' when I answered the phone. Maybe you should give him a call." I looked at her and she laughed. "I don't have a boyfriend. Wow, you know a guy's sweet voice, huh?" She teasingly looked at me before getting her phone. "Should I call him?"

"Depends on you but I suggest, yes." She looked at her phone before standing. "Okay." She faced me and gave me a teasing look again. "You're giving opinions, huh? hmm." She went out and called that guy. If it's not her boyfriend then maybe her brother? But They live together so he must know that she's not home. Why do I care though?

She went back after a few minutes and I looked at her but also turned away. I don't want her to say that I'm being nosy. "He's my cousin. The sweet voice you said." I looked at her and nodded. "Oh, okay."

"Are you jealous? HAHAHA. Do you have a crush on me?" I faced her and laughed. "Not at all. You're not my type." She shockingly looked at me. "Wow? I am every man's type, kid." She rolled her eyes at me. "Not me, then. "

"How can you say that to your boss, huh?" she said before getting the remote. "Do you want to play games?"

We played games and she said we should try that trend where you crush the ice cream with its cone in a bowl. I don't eat ice creams so I don't know if she can finish this alone.

"Let's just share in a bowl, okay? Don't worry. I brushed my teeth and even had a mouthwash. They said it's better to share in a bowl so let's do that." She went from the kitchen with a bowl of ice cream in her hands and two spoons. "I don't eat ice creams," I said letting out an awkward smile. "What? How can you not eat ice cream? You should eat it. I can't finish this alone. Plus, it's really good. Trust me." I looked at her and shook my head. "Not really." She glared before getting a spoonful of ice cream. "Say 'ah'" I shook my head again but she held my mouth and stuffed the ice cream inside it. It tastes really good.

"See? How can you resist ice cream." She offered me a bowl. the guiltiness is all over me while enjoying the ice cream. Well, we only live once.
