A Terrible Result

I carefully grabbed my phone from my pocket and rang up Emily back,

" Dumbass, I specifically said to let him know I was unwell. NOT INVITE MY BOSS TO MY PLACE. ".

She then replied, " BRUH- THST WAS EXACTLY WHAT I DID. I SWEAR. BUT AS SOON AS I SAID THAT, HE ASKED ME FOR YOUR ADDRESS AND SOON TOOK OFF. Besides, this might be a great opportunity for you guys to spend some alone time~ Ehe ".

I let out a huge sigh,

" Em- I swear to God I will slap you. Plus, it's way too embarrassing for us to meet. ".

" Oh? Why's that? ".

" Remember that not a date? He got super drunk, pinned me against the wall and kissed me. AS A GUY TO GUY KIND OF THING. ".

At first, there was complete silence, then a huge squeal that almost sounded like a dolphin dying. Not a clickbait on that.

" Good God could you stop sounding like you're dying Em? I'm worried you fortunately might die jeez- ".

" Oh I'm sorry, I wasn't the one who got smooched by her own boss. Was this what you wanted to tell me last night? ".

" Yeah I- ".

Out of nowhere, I heard a few knocks on my door. No way in hell it could have been him.

" Selena? You there? ".

" Gotta split first, I got company- Talk to you later. ".

I immediately hung up the call and asked back who was behind the door.

" It's me. William. ".

GOOD GOLLY he actually showed up. Well, there was no turning back at that point. My face started burning up just by thinking about him and that awkward first kiss. I slapped myself back down to earth.

" Focus, don't get distracted. He's just here as your boss helping the weak ass assistant who got wounded by her ex- UGH I"M DISTRACTED AGAIN ".

I got up slowly from the couch and opened the door.

I peeped outside and noticed William holding a hefty bag stuffed with medicine.

Did he buy the entire pharmacy?

" Er.... what are you doing here boss? ", I asked nervously.

" Your friend told me you weren't feeling well so I dropped by to check up on you. ".

" Sir! I truly appreciate your care and understanding towards me. I'll just take the bag of medicine and you can be on your way to work then! Haha! ", I tried closing the door but then, I felt a hand on it.

I stared at William, whose glaring eyes gazed back at me. I gulped down my saliva and instantly opened the door.

My initial idea was, I grab the bag, he leaved and I'll be in peace. However, I still brought him in.

IDIOT.

He walked in, hung his jacket on the coat rack and place the bag on the table.

" Well? ", he asked.

" Huh? ".

" What seems to be the problem with you? Since you can't come to work, it must mean it's a physical injury. If it were gastric or stomach ache, a headache, some simple medication would do the trick. ".

Was this guy secretly working as a doctor?

I told him I had a small bruise around my abdomen.

" Some ointment should be fine. ", I said.

" Life up your shirt so I can see the bruise. I can't determine which ointment would suit best unless I see it for myself. ".

MY SHIRT?! PERVERT

He then came and squatted in front of me.

" Don't be child who's afraid of needles. I'm examining it. I won't touch it. ".

To hell la I was afraid. This guy really acts like those who know it all. Ugh.

Out of the blue, he drew his face closer to me.

" I don't have the whole day, or would you want to experience the harder way? ".

My face fizzled and my entire body was trembling.

I hastily lifted up my shirt.

He examined it and soon rummaged through the bag.

" See? Wasn't that scary was it? As my assistant, you must be quick, slick and always be in the right mindset. Never be afraid. ".

Was he now acting as my mom? WTF

" Y-Yeah.. you're right sir... ", I replied with a few coughs.

" You're not embarrassed from that night right? ".

" That night? ".

" I kissed you. Remember? ". He then started applying ointment on my bruise.

HE REMEMBERED?!

I honestly thought he would have forgotten about it over his hangover. Yet he still was able to recall it?

What kind of crappy alcohol was that man?!

" From your reaction, seems like my intuition was right. ".

I bit my lip hard, was fiddling my fingers around and the worst part of all, my face started to burn up. I would be dead if my face was flashing red.

" I'm sorry about that night. Forgive me. As your boss, I should have never done that. However, I would be lying to myself and you if I didn't tell you this. ".

I questioned him out of curiosity.

" Hmm.... nothing. Forget about it. There. It's done. ".

I looked below at my patched up bruise.

" Give it a few days to heal. You can still come to work but if you need an early leave, I'll proceed it. . ".

" Thank you sir. You didn't have to go through all this trouble. Let me cook you something in return! ".

I was about to get up to prep up the kitchen when he grabbed hold onto my arm.

" You fool. Just because you have the ointment on, doesn't mean instant recovery. I'll prepare the both of us a meal. You stay put by the couch. ".

Was I dreaming? Or was I witnessing my own boss preparing a meal? Something didn't feel right.

SHOULDN'T IT BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND?!

" Meh- I guess today I'll consider it as a free day. I'm dead exhausted. ", I figured.

I looked over at William who was starting to cook. He brought out all sorts of ingredients from my fridge and laid them out on the table.

Not gonna lie, but he seriously resembled those professional chefs you would normally see on TV.

My eyes were fixed onto him for a certain period of time, that was until I got a notification from my phone.

It was from an unknown person, yet again.

" Could this be the same person behind my drastic change? "

The message wrote,

" Well, it seems you're enjoying your new life in two bodies. Seems like you have met someone who deeply cares for you.. Very interesting... Well, I have time before I leave this conversation. Why not you ask me some questions? ".

I quickly typed,

" Who are you!?!? What did you do that made my life become like this!?!? Are you a wizard or some sort!?!? AND ARE YOU STALKING ME!? HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IN MY LIFE!?!? ".

" Well, for starters, I won't state my real name, but you can call me Robin. It's quite complicated to explain why you became like this.. But overall, it's my fault, I did something that caused this to happen, especially to you.

And yes, I've been following you lately. But no worries, I know you well and you know me well too!

That is if you remember me from a long time ago... I won't hurt you! But I'll have to keep a close eye on you.. Just in case if something goes wrong.... again!

By the way, it was me that helped you to get out of that sticky situation with your CEO in his office.

I have my own skills and talents! Oh! I have to go! As usual this message will be deleted in the next 24 hours! I'll try to get back to you! Toodles! "

My brain started malfunctioning. It was trying to process what this weirdo was saying.

Not only was this Robin person was someone who I used to know, but he helped me with my situation with William?

I couldn't believe it!

With the curiosity of wondering who this " Robin " person was, I headed straight into my room to search for any old pictures I had taken while I was in college, high school, kindergarten, basically any childhood pictures with friends and family members.

Unfortunately, there was nothing.

I couldn't recall much about anyone who went by the name of Robin nor would have the nickname of it.

Then, I heard William calling me from the kitchen, " Hey! Ryan! Food is ready! "

My stomach started to grumble either way. Well, this mystery Robin could always be dealt with later.

I left my room and sat by the dinner table.

Normally, a meal would mean like few small dishes on the table.

Well, that meal looked more like a feast in front of me!

Man, whoever this guy got married to in the future would sure be lucky as hell.

I finished up my meal and helped clean up afterwards.

" There. All done. Sir would you like to- ARGHHH!!!! ".

I saw William carrying one of my bras. I must have left it lying around. Don't ask why. BUT THAT WAS NOT THE MAIN POINT.

" What's this doing here? ", he bluntly asked.

GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF MY BRA YOU SICKO! OH MY GOD.
