Chapter 5: Moving Into My Boss's House

Zarah's POV

"Zarah?" I was stunned when someone called me.

"Oh, Lara. What is it?" It was just Lara.

"Nothing. I called you to wake you from your daydream. What are you thinking?" Thank God Lara didn't notice me looking at Yohan. She would tease me nonstop.

"Nothing. Let's work, okay?" I said.

Fast forward, and it's already 7 in the evening.

"I'm going home, Zarah. What about you?" Lara asked.

"I will just finish this," I said, just to make an excuse because I would wait for Yohan.

"Okay. I will take my leave. Be careful going home. See you tomorrow." Lara waved her hand goodbye to me.

"Uhum"

Lara left.

Other employees also leave individually, and I'm the only one left. It was already 7:30, so I knocked three times at Yohan's office.

"Come in," I heard Yohan say, and I entered his office.

"Ah, Yohan," I said.

"Are all the employees already out of the office?" Yohan asked.

"Yes"

"Okay. I'm almost done. Take a seat first," Yohan said, not looking at me because he was busy working with his laptop.

I sat on a chair and looked around his office. It is impeccable.

I looked at Yohan, and he was now packing his things. I observed that he was massaging his neck. Does it hurt? I wanted to ask him that, but my shyness took over.

"Let's go," Yohan said.

"Ok"

Yohan and I went to the parking lot. He opened the car for me, and I went inside.

After a few minutes, we arrived at my house. I got out of the car and went inside the house. I took my luggage to my room. Before going out, I wrote a note telling Sarah that I was leaving and taking care of the house.

I was struggling to carry my luggage because it was pretty heavy.

"Give it to me. I will carry it." Yohan went to me and carried my luggage. He is such a gentleman.

"Thank you"

Yohan put my luggage in the trunk of the car. Yohan and I went inside the car and were off to his house.

After 30 minutes, Yohan stopped the car and got out to open the gate. His gate is so big. When the gate opened, I saw his house, which is big and beautiful. A box-type house. The type of house I like and dream of.

Yohan stopped the car in front of the door.

"Zarah, go inside first. Here's the key. I will just put the car in the garage," Yohan said.

"Ok"

I am amazed by how neat Yohan's house is when I am inside. I also love the interior.

"Follow me." I didn't know Yohan had gone inside already.

I followed Yohan. We stopped in front of a room, and he opened it.

"This will be your room. Mine is in front of your room. It would be best if you unpacked your things first while I cook dinner. I will call you when I'm done cooking," Yohan said and left me. I can't wait to taste Yohan's cooking.

I went inside and unpacked my things. The room is so neat, and I love the color. It's pastel blue.

After a few minutes, I smelled something delicious. I'm getting hungry.

"Zarah! Dinner's ready!" Yohan called me downstairs.

"Coming!" I shouted.

When I arrived at the kitchen, I sat on the chair.

"I cooked chicken soup. Let's eat. I love chicken soup.

I tasted the soup, and it was so delicious.

"It's so delicious, Yohan," I said while slurping the soup.

"Thanks. Glad you like it."

After eating dinner, I put the dishes in the sink.

"I will wash the dishes," I said to Yohan.

"No, I will wash it," Yohan insisted.

"You cooked dinner already, so that I will wash the dishes. You should go and do your work," I convinced Yohan.

"Okay." I'm glad Yohan was convinced.

Yohan went to his room, and I washed the dishes. It's like we are married, but this is all a contract. I wish it were real.

After washing the dishes, I went to my room and unpacked my stuff.

When I was done unpacking my stuff, I went to see what Yohan was doing. I peered through the door and saw Yohan working on his laptop. I thought of making him tea, so I went to the kitchen and made him tea.

While making tea, my phone rang, and it was Sarah.

"Hello, Sarah?"

"Zarah, are you there at your boss's house already?" Sarah asked.

"Yes, and his house is so big and beautiful," I told Sarah with an amazed look.

"He is a rich man indeed."

"Yeah," I agreed.

"Hi, Zarah!" Is that Matthew?

"Matthew?' It's Matthew's voice.

"Yes. Matthew is with me, and we're eating dinner."

"Okay. Happy eating. I've got to end the call now," I said.

"Okay. Take care there, Zarah," Sarah and Matthew said.

"Both of you, too," I said, ending the call.

I continued making tea for Yohan. When I was done, I went to Yohan's room.

Yohan's POV

I was in my room reviewing something when a knock was heard. The door opens, revealing Zarah.

"I made you tea. It will help soothe your mind and body," Zarah said.

"Thanks"

Zarah put the tea on the table. I massaged my neck because it hurt a bit.

"Is your neck hurting, Yohan?" Zarah asked.

"A bit," I said while still massaging my neck.

"Can I massage it?" Zarah asked for permission.

"Sure"

Zarah went behind me and started massaging my neck. It feels good and relaxing.

"Feeling better?"

"Yeah. I feel sleepy," I answered.

Suddenly, my phone rang. It's grandma.

"Hello, grandma. Why did you call?' I asked.

"Hello, Grandma," Zarah greeted Grandma also. I looked at my side to see her; her face was so close. I looked at her face and observed her features, and she was beautiful. Why is my heart beating so fast? What is happening to me?
