Jealous
1809 Words
“So, the MacBook Sir, it is an assistant’ benefit?” he chokes.
I handed him water also.
“Forget the MacBook,” he said sternly which makes me shut my mouth.
“Sorry, Sir.” He nodded. I watch him eat gracefully. What is feels like when you are born with a golden spoon in your mouth? I mean I am, but I am slowly forgetting that life.
I shook my head and starts eating again.
“I will make your schedule later.” I nodded my head.
He stands up after eating and leaves the kitchen. I smiled because we just have small leftovers.
I wash the dishes and started to fix the refrigerator to an organized one. I smiled when I already finish it.
“What to do next Sir?” He got up and get his phone.
“Let’s shop, I want you to cook for me for my lunch.” I nodded happily.
“Get all that what you need.” I nodded and start to put items in the cart. We have 2 bodyguards; many people are gossiping but I didn’t mind it and just do what my boss says.
“Sir, if you are uncomfortable, I can do this already.” He looks at me and he shook his head.
“I’m okay, don’t mind me.” I nodded. The cart is already full since Sir Zandro puts a lot of healthy snacks and some junk foods.
The cart is now heavy to push.
“Is it now hard to push?” I want to nod but he is my boss, I shook my head.
He sighs and gets the cart from me, “It’s not hard, to tell the truth, Ms. Ferrer.” I bit my lip.
My eyes widen when Sir Zandro put his hand in my lips like he was covering it.
“Don’t do that in public, just in my watch.” He leaves leaving me to wonder.
“Ma’am?” I shook my head and walk towards Sir Zandro. His bodyguards are in the back and they are so strict like me and my boss should stick together.
“You got all you need?” I nodded to him and we are heading to the cashier now.
I saw a chocolate chip that my mother loves a lot. I get two packs.
“What’s that?” Sir Zandro asked.
“Chocolate chips sir.” He nodded.
“Put it here,”
“No sir, I will pay for this.” He sighs and snatches the chocolate chips from me.
“Don’t decline my requests, Ms. Ferrer.” I nodded.
They pack separately my chocolate chips that makes it more convenient.
“Let’s pay a visit to your mom before heading back to the office.” I wanted to protest but I just nodded. He is like Zeinah, his sister. But Sir Zandro is bossier and I think I can’t negotiate with him like I always do to Zeinah. Maybe because he is my boss?
We are seating again in the backseat since his two bodyguards occupying the driver’s seat and the passenger seat.
His phone rang and he answered it. I saw his forehead creased and look at me.
“Make it faster.” He commanded the driver that makes my heart pound rapidly.
“What’s happening?” I asked while nervousness started to crawl to my body.
“Y-your mom.” Oh God,
“What happened, Sir?” My hands are trembling; he holds my hand and makes a circular motion like he is soothing my nervousness.
“She suffered cardiac arrest but the doctors do their best and now your mom transferred to the ICU and she was monitored by the best doctor in that hospital so don’t worry. I’ll pull some strings to have the best doctor for your mom.” I cried because I am worried about my mom and I am so much thankful for having the nicest boss.
“Thank you, Sir.” he nodded and pull me into a hug. I was shocked at first but I hug back. I badly need a hug right now.
“Everything will be fine.” He breaks the hug and wipes my tears.
“Thank you,” I whispered. He smiled genuinely.
“Everything for you, my queen.”
“We already arrive sir.” the bodyguards open the door for us.
My Queen? I shook my head maybe I misheard it. Yeah, I misheard it. No, I heard it clearly. What does he mean?
He grabs my hand and we walk at a fast pace.
“This way sir.” The nurse leads the way where my mom is.
I broke into tears as I saw my mom with a pale face, my heart break’s seeing my mom’s life is now supported with a life machine. She was cheerful a while ago, she smiles at me as I leave her room and now, she is in critical condition. I can’t afford to lose my mom. I already lost my dad.
I felt Sir Zandro hugs me from behind. I didn’t mind it at all. All I want to know if my mom is safe.
The doctor arrives.
“Good afternoon Mr. Vendroux and Ms. Ferrer, the patient is now fine but we need to conduct furthermore observations because the case is serious.”
“When will she wake up?” the doctor sighs.
“I’m afraid that the patient will fall into a coma.” I lose my balance but luckily, Sir Zandro manages to grab my waist and supports my body.
“Do everything you can please. Save my mother.” The doctor nodded. I sense it is a problematic nod.
“Oh my god! Angela!” I saw Zeinah with Marky, her manager and also a friend of ours.
“Zeinah…” she hugs me and all I can do is cry on her shoulder.
“Shhh, I know Mrs. Ferrer can do it. She is a strong woman, Angela. You will make her upset if you cry.” I nodded but I can’t stop tearing up. I felt Marky’s hand in my back and his caressing it to give comfort.
“Hands off!” We flinch.
“Hey, how dare you prevent me from hugging my best friend.” Zeinah talks back.
“Not you young lady, that man beside you.” I saw fear in Marky’s eyes.
“What? Are you being territorial now? Who are you to prevent Marky to give comfort to his friend?”
“Friend my ass.” Sir Zandro said then he gritted his teeth.
“Sir?” he looks at me dangerously.
“Don’t let any other man touch you like that.”
“He is my friend,” His face is now blank.
“He is gay brother, why are acting like you owned Angela?” Zeinah says,
Sir Zandro looks away and leaves us.
“What is the real deal between you and my brother?” Zeinah’s brow arched.
“He is my boss and I am his assistant.” Her forehead suddenly creased.
“Assistant? He doesn’t need that and he always declines my dad’s offer to get him an assistant.” Zeinah’s face flashes playfulness.
“Is my brother interested in you?” I shook my head. Who I am to reach his standards?
“Maybe he realizes that he needed an assistant?” I spoke.
“uh, uh,” She disagreed.
“Sorry for that Marky.” I smiled shyly.
“Sis, don’t go near me if you want me to stay alive.” He says while looking at my back.
I turn around and I saw Sir Zandro not so far away from us talking to a girl but his eyes are still in mine, I mean in ours.
I look away.
“This is the first time he put his attention to a girl, should I celebrate?” Zeinah says to me.
“I don’t know?” She exclaimed like she is getting excited.
“Finally! I taught my brother is a bi or a gay” I chuckled.
“I bet he not,” Marky says sadly, lol.
“Shut up, you already have a boyfriend.” Zeinah rolled her eyes at him.
“Yeah, and you have a lot of suitors.” Marky spits back that makes me laugh.
“I want to stay longer but I need to go to the studio.” I nodded.
“I understand, thank you for visiting me.” She winks at me and she bid her goodbye. I saw how the guards protect Zeinah from the crowd. I am proud of her because she maintains to be okay despite the attack of her bashers and tons of “story makers”.
“Are you feeling better?” I nodded and smiled at Sir Zandro.
“Thank you, Sir.”
“No worries,” I promise to do my best for Sir Zandro, he is a one-of-a-kind boss. He never let me feel uncomfortable.
“I promise to do my best for you, Sir.” I smile widely.
“You already did.” My smile faded, “What do you mean Sir?”
He smirks and walks away.
*beeping sound
‘Go home, rest’
I know it was Sir Zandro.
“Yes Sir! =)” I replied
I touch the glass in my mom’s room like I am touching her face.
“Fight mom, you are all I have.” A tear escapes from my eyes but I wiped it immediately.
‘Guide me, God, I know this is one of the challenges I can face but please guide me.’ I whispered.
I immediately leave the place and go home with the cab, when I handed him the payment, he says that the cab was hired and I bet it was Sir Zandro again.
I nodded and fish my phone in my bag.
“Sir, I can pay for my cab. Please don’t waste your money on an employee like me. I am not declining all of your effort Sir but this too much. I am afraid I can’t pay for all of the money you spent. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity, Sir.” I sent the message.
I sigh and takes a bath.
After taking a bath I started to do my night routine.
