The Psychopath's Obsession

Chapter 15

I didn't got a proper sleep because of that. I sighed and look at the resignation letter that I made. I'm still scared and trembling. I don't know if I could face him not crying.

In our company, if you want to resign, you need to go exactly at the boss, so he would agree and sign the papers. He is the boss so he holds the power. But how could I face him? Should I act that I didn't know that he is my stalker? How come? All I could remember that we only meet once, and then in the party. That's all.

I wear a hoodie to cover my kiss marks. He left a lot. My eyes are swollen because of crying. When he left, I just cry my heart out. I didn't even bother to chased him because I know, I can't catch him.

When I arrived at the company. There's just a few employees. Good, 'cause I can't face them. Hoping to see the boss, I immediately go to the elevator and punched the Top floor. I waited a minute and when the elevator stops, I breathed so hard. I hold the tears that forming into my eyes.

You can't cry, Milda. Stop it. Hold it. Be brave and face him.

I saw his secretary that doing her work. There's so many papers in her table that she didn't notice my presence.

I clear my throat. "E-Excuse me." My voice crack. Stop it Milda, just for a minute, be brave, you can do it. You're strong.

The pretty secretary looked at me then smiled. "Yes?" Her voice is so sweet. Somehow, it lessen my nervousness.

"Uhm. Can I talk to Mr. Carson?" I asked politely.

She looked at me for a second. "Do you have an appointment?" She doesn't know me. Of course.

I laughed awkwardly. "I-I work here... I just want to have something to him. It's important."

She looked shock. "Ow... Sorry. What's your name?"

"Milda Asuncion. Marketing Department, under Monica Handles Management."

She nods her head and took her telephone. She talked to someone that I assumed our boss. She said that someone wants to talk to him and tell my name.

"You may come in..." She smiled so am I.

I breathed in and knock three times. Calm down, calm down...

"Come in..." I heard his voice.

I open the door with my trembling hands. As I come in, he welcome me with his friendly smile. Smile that fool me.

"How are you, Milda?" Drop the act!

I didn't answer and just look at him. His smile slowly vanished. I walk towards him and put the letter on his table.

"M-My resignation letter..." My lips trembled.

He looked at me, confused. I almost believed to his act. He's such an actor!

He pick it up. "Why?"

I fist my hand in my back. I'm refraining myself to hurt him. I need to calm down. "Private matters. I'm expecting your sign, Sir."

"It's in the rule, Ms. Asuncion. You can't just file a resignation letter without telling the reason. Private or not, you have to say it." Now, his voice become business like. So this is him in business. Voice void of emotion and blank expression.

I inhaled the same scent I smelled last night. It's making in in rage! Why is he doing this to me?! What did I do wrong to him?!

"Please, drop the act. I know, you know what I'm talking about." I said, gritted teeth.

He look at me, confuse. "What are you talking about, Ms. Asuncion?"

My tears fell. "Is it fun seeing me hopeless? Why did you do that?!" I shouted.

He stands up and come near me. "I don't know what you're talking about, but please, calm down. Sit in the couch please. Calm down." He said softly.

I step back. "No! Don't you ever try to come near me! Stop!" I know I'm being hysterical but I don't care! What if he do it again?

"What the hell are you talking about, Milda? Come and sit! I'll get you a water. Calm down!" He called his secretary and tell to get a water. After a minute, he came back with a glass of cold water in his hand.

"Here, drink up. Then we'll talk." He said seriously. I hesitantly get the water and drink it. I didn't know that I'm trembling too much because of crying.

"Now, now... Tell me, what are you accusing me? This is the third time I talk to you." He sits in front of me. He gave me space.

I looked at him and confusion eats me. What is it? Why is he acting like he doesn't know what I'm talking about? Is he acting like he don't know?

"Stop the act. I already know the truth! Why did you do that last night?! You break into my house then... Then---"

He cut me off with wide eyes. "What the actual f**k? I'm in London for three days and I just came here this morning! What are you saying? Are you accusing me?!"

He was gone when the incident happened? If he was not here, then who is it? It's making my head ached because of confusion!

"But I smelled your perfume… it smells exactly like what you wear right now..." I confessed. "If you're not the one last night... Then who is it?" I blabbed out.

"Don't tell me..." He looked at me like he have conclusions on what's happening.

I shakes my head. "No, it's nothing. I'm so very sorry for what I did. I think I'm just not in myself, I'm sorry. Excuse me..." I hurriedly stands up and about to leave when he hold my wrist and right there I knew the answer.

He is not the one I'm looking for...

I had did wrong!

I accused someone who's doing nothing to me... I have done sin…

"Let me have lunch with you... Your secret is safe with me..." Then he smiled warmly to me.

We are here now at the 7/11, yeah, I'm still with him. He's so clueless to what I'm accusing him but later on he understands it.

We silently ate our food. He buy me food, I ate my nervousness and all my thinking. I want to forget it. Someone knew my secret.

He didn't agree on my resignation letter and I'm thankful, I don't know where I am if he agree on it. Maybe starving? I don't have work but thankfully he still accepts me.

"Go home Milda. If you can work, just go to the company but I think you need more rest. Just rest to your house." He smiled.

I return his smile. I didn't know that my boss is this down to earth. He's so kind and just kind. It gives more appeal to his handsome face.

"Thank you... Thank you so much sir... And I'm sorry again. I think I a rest, really."

We stay for a minute and bid our goodbye. As I get home. I tiredly open my door but my step halt. There's a box again.

My shivering hands pick it up and hurriedly went inside. My tears fall down as I open it. I know, this box is came from him.

I cover my mouth when I saw what's the inside.

It's a picture of me and Mr. Carson in the 7/11. There's a doodle in Mr. Carson's body in every picture. Doodle of red pen. It's like, he's erasing him to the picture using the red pen.

There's a note inside.

"NEXT TIME THAT YOU'RE WITH HIM, I WILL USE HIS OWN BLOOD TO ERASE HIM, BABY. I ALREADY TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY."

Oh my god!

"Come, Milda. It's already late, you should go home." Said Mr. Carson.

I sighed then look at the message that I received from Bullet. He said he's out of the country right now. Company matters.

I didn't tell any single details to Bullet of what's happening to me, I can't lose him. I don't want to. I want him to still see me as pure.

I replied saying Take care of yourself.

I looked at Brandon, for the past day, he will go here at my cubicle to secure if I'm still here. He became my bodyguard. I told him to stop worrying because it's nothing.

"It's not, Milda! You can't be calm if you knew that someone's stalking and harassing you! Damn it!" He cursed at that time.

"Brand-- I mean, Mr. Carson. I need to finish all of this files, it'll be needed tomorrow." I reason. It's true that I'm busy that's why I'm still here.

"Just call me Brandon. If I can't force you o go home, then I'll wait you. I can't be complacent to leave you here. Finish it all, I'll wait for you, or better I'll help you. It's more convenient for the both of us, I'm sure that, that will need my sign." I can't to roll my eyes to him. He's being oa again.

I'm now comfortable to him, but not much more when I'm with Bullet. He can make me feel different kind of feelings and emotions. Bullet's smile could make my day complete.

We finished my work, Brandon didn't really leave me. He get me home and even secure the locks of my apartment. He buy new lock, he said its much secured than the last lock that I used.

I just cooked adobo for my dinner. I missed the days when I'm having dinner or meal with Bullet. The way he smiled as he clean my lips because I'm a mess eater. When he buys me food from 7/11.

"Hey, my goddess." I read the message that I received from Bullet, I was about to sleep.

My heart start to beat fast, don't assume Milda. Bullet is too much for you.

"I'm about to sleep, Bullet." I replied.

"Oh, sorry then. You should sleep now. Good night. I'll miss you, my goddess…" s**t.

He really thinks that I'll be asleep if he message me like this? God Bullet. Stop making me fall for you because I know that you can't catch me.

"Stop it Brandon! You're being paranoid again! My said stalker is not visiting me for days." I said to him.

He tsked. "Don't be so complacent Milda! We don't know when will he attack you again! I told you to report this to the police, didn't I?" He look pissed. I munched the fries that I'm eating.

"Brandon, look at me. Open your eyes and look at me. You think they would believe me if say that someone's stalking me? Look at me. They'll just laughed at me."

I heard his sighed then he sits beside me. I felt his hands tapping my shoulders. "Milda, don't down yourself. You are beautiful, okay? If no one believes you, just remember that I'm here at your side. I believed in you." He then smiled.

My eyes watered 'cause of what he said. I'm really thankful that I have him. It's now week, and Bullet is not here. Maybe the matters he attended really serious.

He would text and call me from time to time when he have. He didn't say when we'll he came back, he just said that it's a surprise.

"Oh, stop crying. You look like a duck when you cry." He then laughed.

I laughed with him too before I punch his triceps. We continue to eat and talk. We're here at the park that we just saw, good thing that we already buy in drive thru.

"Brandon, I have questions." I started after minutes of silence.

"Really? Questions? Shoot."

I sighed. "Why are you with me right now?"

He looked at me. "Well... I don't really know. I just felt comfortable with you. Maybe because you're true. You're not like other girls who wants to be close with me because of money."

"I could say that you're fun to be with. You're the first woman that I befriended. Your charms just hook me."

"But don't get me wrong okay? I'm with you because you're my friend. I considered you as one. Please, don't fall for me. Kidding." He laughed.

I continue to asked simple question. Like his favorite color, song, food and sports.

I never imagined that my boss would be like this. I never thought that he's so kind and generous and all the good things that he have.

He drive me home when it's getting late. I even invited him to eat with me and he gladly accepted it.

I just cook pork steak, and mango Graham for dessert. I don't usually do this but it's my simple thank you for him. He accompanied me when I need someone.

"Wow. It's been a long time when someone cooked for me. I feel loved." He even tickled me.

I kick his legs. "Shut it up. You don't want to go home right now, right?"

"I'm just kidding! Chill. Are you on period?" He teased me.

"Out!" I walked over the door and open it. I looked at him with arch brow.

I almost lost my balance when he hugged me tight. It's obvious that he's still teasing because I could hear his giggles!

I was about to kick him when someone punch him straight in the face.

"f*****g distance Carson! That's my goddess!" and he punch Carson again.

Oh my god!

"Stop it Bullet!"

He's beating Brandon like a lion that on rage. He looks different. He's not the Bullet I know! It's not him.

He's look like he will kill Brandon. And I'm confused why Brandon didn't fight him and just laughing.

"You crazy bastard! Don't f*****g get close to Milda again! f**k you! f**k you!"

God help me.
