Chapter 3

"Waaahhh! Pervert! Goddammit, you maniac!" He was holding his fully erect junior, and there was some white stuff on it. What was that? Sperm? Cum? Whatever! My innocent eyes are no longer innocent!

"Wait, why didn't you just let me go home? Why did you have to lock me in here? I don't want to be here! Let me out, you demon!" I complained to Ero as he suddenly pulled me into his mini-bedroom in his office, saying that I should stay here until his dad leaves.

"Do you really think Dad would believe me if I introduce you as my secretary?" he asked irritably, looking at me from head to toe. To hide my embarrassment, I glared at him and slapped his chest. It felt like I was the one who got hurt.

He's so hard! Wait, why am I even thinking that? I suddenly remembered what Ero said, and I nodded in agreement. That's exactly what I was thinking earlier. I sighed and sat down on the bed.

"It's your fault! You insisted on making me wear this! I look like I'm working at a club rather than being a secretary—" I couldn't continue what I was about to say when Ero suddenly covered my mouth and gave me a look that seemed to say, 'be quiet.'

"Ero, son, where are you?" Is that Ero's dad? Why does his voice sound so familiar to me? Ero whispered to me before he removed his fragrant hand from my mouth.

"Don't make any noise," he said, and I nodded in response. "Stay here, I'll be back when Dad leaves." I nodded again and was taken aback when he softly pressed his lips against mine. I realized they were Ero's lips. Along with that came a strange rush of heartbeat and butterflies in my stomach after he kissed me. I found myself staring at him for a moment, wishing the kiss had lasted longer.

The next thing I heard was the clicking sound of a door being locked from outside. Ugh! I won't be able to get out because he locked me in here.

I touched my chest and could still feel my heart racing. Slowly, I raised my hand to my lips without even realizing it. I had to hold back a scream when I remembered the scene I stumbled upon in his bathroom.

I remembered how he was holding himself, then he covered his hand with his mouth! Fuck! This is so stupidly gross! That Ero is disgusting! God knows what he was doing there before I walked in!

But his dad's voice sounds so familiar, just like Jacobo's. I sighed, maybe I just miss him so much that I mistake Ero's dad's voice for his.

Speaking of Jacobo, I looked at my phone to check if he had sent me a text, but there was still none. Last night, he told me that he would accompany his amazing wife to visit his in-laws' ranch because he missed them so much. His wife is such a drama queen. I wonder how he can tolerate her.

When Jacobo and I become husband and wife, I'll make sure our relationship won't be dramatic. I won't have to visit my parents in the province because they're already in another country with their new families.

My mom married a white guy, and they live in California with my stepbrother. As for my dad, he's in Canada with his new wife and their two stepbrothers. I am just a result of a one-night mistake. So it's no wonder I grew up with my grandparents, my mom's parents.

Ero's dad has already left, and that guy wasted no time dragging me towards his mini living room set. "Martha is on her way here," Ero said seriously. "Do something to shoo her away." I raised an eyebrow at him and glared. After locking me up for almost three hours, how dare he order me around without even offering me food?!

I ignored him and turned my back on him. It's already three o'clock! That means it's past lunchtime. Did he expect me to be thrown into the tiger's den right away? What a meddler! He deserves a good slap!

"Kendall, I am talking to you! Don't turn your back on me!" he yelled at me and then violently pushed me in front of him. I was also so annoyed with him that I pinched his hand that was holding me so that he would let go of me.

"Don't call me Kendall, Kendall, can you? Go to sleep! You're not in another country, so don't speak English to me! It's three o'clock in the afternoon, you locked me up for a long time and I still haven't- lunch! Instead of giving me my lunch break, if you can order me around you think who is the king!"

I didn't miss the shock that was registered on his face, probably because I yelled at him, but I don't care anymore. Annoying! Guess who, yes, he is super-hot and handsome, but he has the same attitude! He's a walking demon!

I stood up abruptly from my seat and walked out of his mini-bedroom, but I stopped in my tracks when I saw a woman. She was extremely fair-skinned and wearing a red dress shorter than the one I was wearing. She was also wearing stilettos, with her arms crossed in front of her ample chest. When our gazes met, she raised an eyebrow and looked me up and down.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes. She may look beautiful because of her fair skin, and she may appear sexy because of her revealing outfit, but if she thinks she can scare me with her exposed flesh, she's wrong. "Who are you?" she asked me rudely, and because of my intense hunger and frustration, I blurted out whatever came to mind, taking the side of that annoying demon, Ero.

"Ero's girlfriend." I looked her up and down. "So, if you really fear God and don't want your skin and body to be completely ruined, leave now!" I shouted at her. She swallowed hard and quickly ran towards the exit.

I sighed when she was finally gone. When I turned around, I noticed a man clapping behind me, with an amused and almost admiring expression on his face. He was handsome, but he seemed foolish to find joy in what I just did.

"Wow! What a performance! You managed to chase away Martha so quickly," he said to me. I didn't respond and went out to find the canteen. I was starving.

--

When I returned to Ero's office around four thirty PM, Miss Curtis told me that Ero wasn't there, and despite my reluctance, I, as his secretary, still asked where he went. She said he was in a meeting.

I nodded and went straight to my working table. I furrowed my brow when I saw a large square red box on the table. It was a box of cake, based on the brand name written on it. There was also a note, sarcastically written, so I picked it up and read it.

'Job well done. I hope next time you can shoo away more girls who want to see me. I'll be out of town for two days. See you soonest.'

-EM

I immediately opened the cake box and smiled when I saw that it was an ube cake, my favorite! And here come those butterflies in my stomach again. What's with them suddenly appearing every time? Are they hungry too?

I sighed deeply. I have no idea why I'm feeling this way. It would be better for me to go home now and enjoy this ube cake. I suddenly had a strong craving for it!

"Where are we going?" I asked Ero when I noticed that we were taking a different route. "I thought you were going to drop me off at my house?" Now, we were heading towards the downtown area.

"We're going to eat dinner first," he said while keeping his eyes on the road. "I don't want to have dinner with you!" I glared at him. "I need to go home because Jacobo will be there!"

Finally, after the longest week of my life, Jacobo returned from his in-laws' ranch. He stayed there longer because they had a family reunion. Unfortunately, Ero had to blackmail me with a picture he took just so I would pick him up at the airport!

Instead of cooking pasta for Jacobo, which was my plan, I couldn't continue because I wasted all my time waiting for Ero at the airport. He texted me at 3 PM to go to the airport because he was already there, but he actually arrived at 6 PM.

Damn it! I made a fool of myself waiting for him at the airport for three hours! I even tried to go home first so I could cook the pasta, but the guards at the airport blocked me, saying that Ero instructed them not to let me leave. You can see how terrible this guy's attitude is!

"I still need to cook pasta for Jacobo, and it's already 7 PM!" I sighed deeply. "I should have been home before 8 PM because he's going to be there soon, and I don't want to ruin this dinner with him after a long time of waiting." I crossed my arms over my chest.

"If you're hungry, you can eat alone. Just park the car and I'll take a taxi home," and this time, I finally faced Ero. I was about to say something else, but he suddenly got out of the car. Thankfully, I had my seatbelt on, or else I might have kissed his windshield due to the force of his braking.

"Will you shut the fuck up?! And can you fucking stop talking about that guy!" he yelled at me. What's wrong with this guy? Why is he suddenly so angry and taking it all out on me? I didn't do anything to him!

"He's not just any other guy! He has a name, and that's Jacobo, so can you—" I couldn't finish my sentence as he abruptly got out of the car. He circled around and came to my side, opening the car door and removing my seatbelt himself.

He was breathing heavily. It meant that he was still extremely angry but was trying to control it. "Ero, where are you taking me?" I calmly asked him, but it seemed to make him even angrier. He didn't answer and dragged me into a lobby.

I didn't immediately notice where he was taking me; suddenly, we were in front of a large hotel. He tossed his car keys to the valet and we proceeded to the elevator.
