Chapter 4

“Woman! It’s Too much information!” Sophia said after I told the story. Her face flushed, and she fanned herself.

I laughed and laughed. “Sorry. Just brought up!” I said.

She stared at me. “My God! I can skip the Se-x part, can’t I? My ****** ears!” She even covered both ears, which made me laugh even more. “All right! Continue the story. ‘Annoying.”

I took a deep breath and exhausted my laughter before continuing the story….

…..

I woke up as if a hammer were hitting my head. God! I hate hangovers!

I didn’t move at first because I was relieving my headache first. I heard the door open, then a woman’s voice.

“Honey, your mom….Oh, my God!”

I was overwhelmed by that scream and winced at the pain in my head. But I think my head hurt even more when I saw that ... my boss, without any covering on his body, was next to me!

“Ahhhh!” I screamed in surprise at Robert. He looked at his body and seemed to have just realized that he was *****. He quickly stood up and put on boxer shorts.

“Ahhhhh!” I screamed again when I saw that I also didn’t have anything to cover. I covered my whole body with a blanket.

“Robert.” I looked at Camila as she started sobbing. “How ... how could you do this… to me?” Then she covered her whole face with her hand and there wept bitterly.

That’s when it all sinks in on me. My boss and I both woke up in the same bed and had no body covering. I remember our grunts last night and all that happened.

I’ll be damned. Sure.

“C-Camila. Hey ... it’s not what you think,” Robert said with a pale face. Not sure if to approach Camila or what.

“It’s not what I think?!” Camila said angrily. “All right?! Explain what happened! Don’t tell me that you and Juli studied the Bible here, and you’re both *****!”

Robert was speechless. Camila turned to me.

“Juli ... I never thought you could do this to me. You, of all people,” she said, and tears flowed again.

I didn’t realize it, but I cried too.

It’s embarrassing. I never thought I could do that thing. The worse thing is to get married yet! And worse is with Camila! And much worse because of my boss!

Remind myself not to get drunk again, Julia!

“No ... Camila, please. Let me explain. Nothing happened.”

I looked at Robert when he said that. What the hell? Will he lie? Even if he is too late in the act? This man is very worthless.

I gasped when I saw how Camila slapped Robert on the face. It must have hurt because Camila’s hand reached out to the man’s face.

“Huh, do you think I’m stupid? Don’t make me stupid, Robert!” Then Camila looked at me, and I flinched. “Tell me, Juli. Did something happen or not?”

I saw the hope in Camila’s eyes. I know even though she has seen us in this situation, she hopes nothing has happened yet. That’s how much she loved Robert.

I looked at Robert’s face. His eyes tell me to lie. I can do that. I can just fool Camila too. But every time I see her eyes, I feel like I can’t do it. I am also a woman. And I know it hurts her, but she needs to know the truth.

“There is...happened,” I said softly but enough for them to hear.

I close my eyes as Camila’s crying gets louder. I know my boss is cursing me, but I can’t really lie.

When I looked up, I saw that Camila threw their engagement ring at Robert’s chest, which was caught by the man.

“No more weddings going on. Goodbye, Robert,” Camila said and quickly left the room.

Robert just stared at the ring. He looks serious and doesn’t really move. I was nervous about what he could do to me.

I knew my boss. I knew how ruthless he was. And I know he can’t forgive me for what happened.

I jumped so hard that Robert threw the ring and cursed loudly.

“Goddammit!”

He quickly got in front of me and, without warning strangled my neck tightly. I held his hand when I felt the pain. I buried my nails in his hand and fought — just in case he let go of my neck, but it didn’t happen.

“Remember this, fucking bitch. I..I will make your life a living hell. I will torture you until you beg me to just kill you. Be ready then.” Robert violently released my neck before quickly getting dressed and leaving the room.

I just cried while holding my neck. He strangled me a bit tightly, and that would definitely mark my skin tomorrow.

I was doubly nervous when I entered the next day. My suspicion is correct. I did have a bruise on my neck, so I just put on a scarf to cover it.

I entered as if nothing had happened. I greet back the employees who greet me. I was still smiling while doing that. But when I stepped onto the CEO’s floor, my nervousness was sky-high.

I knew Robert would confirm the threat to me yesterday, but I had no idea what he would do. It looks like I didn’t have to wait any longer because as soon as I got to my seat, the intercom on my table immediately rang.

“Julia, get in here.”

I wasted no more time and immediately went into Robert’s office. The first thing I noticed was the mountain of papers in front of his table. He pointed that out.

“I want soft copies of these,” he said without looking at me.

“Boss?”

“Send them through my e-mail…. And don’t go home until you’re done with that.”

I swallowed at the papers in front of me. I think it has about a thousand pages. And he wants me to type all that and send it to his e-mail?

When I didn’t move, Robert looked at me. I could see the anger in his eyes.

“What are you waiting for, bitchh?”

My lips quivered at what he called me. I felt the corners of my eyes heat up, so I quickly picked up the papers and left his office.

I think I was only having fifty pages when I felt my stomach growl. Lunch break as well. I stood up to go to the cafeteria and eat when I heard the door of Robert’s office open.

“Where are you going?” he asked coldly.

I was swallowed. “Eat, Boss.”

“Have you already sent the soft copies to my e-mail?” He even looked at my table to see the papers I hadn’t finished typing.

“I’m not done yet, Boss.”

“Then you will never leave your desk until you finish typing those fucking papers!” he said angrily and passed me.

“Boss—” I would have nodded, but I was surprised when he slapped my cheek hard. I even tasted the blood from my lip that looked like it had exploded with the force of his slap.

“I pay you well, so don’t complain. Didn’t I tell you that I will make your life a living hell, right? This is just the beginning, Julia. This is just the beginning.” Then he took the elevator.

I faintly sat on the floor and cried and cried. The chin hurts, the neck hurts, and it hurts ... the heart.
