CHAPTER 58: MY JEALOUS BOYFRIEND

My jaw dropped. I looked at Theo with disbelief.

"Are you insane!?"

"Ah, your boyfriend. I forgot. He looks like a jealous person."

"Yes, he is!"

"Then you should stay away from any men for him not to get jealous."

You're one of these men I should keep a distance from! But I can't voice it out.

"Yeah. So stop bothering me, and let's act like we don't know each other."

That night in the hospital flashed back to me. I almost forgot that incident, but now it came back so clearly in my head. And the scratch on his neck from pleasurable moments with his lover. Why doesn't he give his energy to his lovers instead of wasting it on me?

I want to say that to him. But, damn. He just smirked handsomely at me.

"You can't ignore me or act like we don't know each other. I am a client, and I do business often here. You should assist me well as our company is a Super VIP in your hotel."

I can't believe he'll reason with me like this. "Then is it right for you to ask me for a kiss?"

"All right, then. How about treating me on your first paycheck?"

"Huh?" I was stupefied, but then my brain slowly processed something. "Wait, so you won't insist anymore that I will work for you?"

"Not anymore. Since you said that your boyfriend pays for everything, that's why you don't need a double salary? But I'm hoping he's generous enough to give you more than an offer now you bear his child?"

What he's blabbering about? I don't understand him at all. But I cannot turn back from my lies about having a boyfriend and having a wonderful relationship with the man of my child.

"Of course, he is!" I don't want him to have doubts.

"Then, good! So I assume he's making plans for your future already?"

"Future?"

"Yup! Future for your child and a place to live?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Is he not planning to give his child a better home?"

"Like what?" It irritated me with his question-and-answer part thing.

"A house."

I take a few moments of silence. Why does he bother to ask me about this kind of stuff?

"That is not for you to worry but for us to decide."

"Ah, right! I should not cross the line."

Theo grins which irritates me further.

"I'm going back now. They might now be looking for me. Thanks for the meal." I said and made a hasty step toward the door.

"Bye, Nik!"

I glanced at him before the door swallowed me. What's wrong with him? Did he hit his head on something?

At first, he was eager to convince me not to work here. Then, offering me to become his Secretary with a double wage that the hotel is offering me. And even upset when I don't want to accept the job. But after I mention the boyfriend thing and me being pregnant, he's happy instead?

He's crazy, does he?

Ah, whatever. I hope Miss Mina would not scold me about my tardiness. I was new, but I was this slacker?

"Nikki! What took you so long?"

Maureen, my colleague. She was just ahead of two months from me when she began working at the hotel.

"Sorry. I took a lunch break, and it took longer to come back."

"Where did you take your lunch? I didn't see you at our lunch area?"

"Ah, that. A friend of mine invited me to lunch."

"Friend? Or a boyfriend?"

"Hey, my boyfriend always went overseas. So he's rare to be here."

I guess I have to stand on this lie since I started it.

"Miss Nina wants us to come to the Glass Garden to help. The Executives will be there for the last preparation of the Event."

"Oh. Is she not angry?"

"She can't do that. The Executive backing you up."

"What do you mean about that?"

"Everyone knows how close you are with everyone. So don't forget about me."

Maureen smiles sweetly at me. I think she thought if she stuck with me, she'd be getting close to the executives as well and receive special treatment.

Is that how people see me? Indeed the Executives are close to my father, but I never take advantage of their kindness. They helped me financially in the past, but I never came to them to give me this job. I believe I worked too hard and diligent in my job, and sister Michelle saw it. That is why she recommends me to Miss Blaire; it happens I know very well most of their family and closest friends.

It seems people will come to me to ride the attention I got from the higher-ups, which doesn't charm me.

Glass Castle Garden

"All right, now everyone is here. Listen up! I will assign the ushers and attendants to this event."

Miss Nina explained further what we needed to do during that event. Since we have experienced being a waitress, they assigned me to guide the guest to their table and assist them if they needed something during that event.

Later on, Theo and the other sponsor of this event came in to check out the place. The theme is now put up, and the entire concert hall has turned into a Wedding Reception Hall.

I avoided not glancing in his direction, but I want him to stop looking at us. Maybe he has the right to look in our direction as the overseer of this event, but hoping he should not do it like it was obvious.

While listening to Miss Nina, Miss Blaire and her husband, Director Ivanov, arrive along with Miss Riley and her husband, Brother Daichi. Miss Jean was also here. Surely, she will have to perform at the event. She is an in-demand wedding singer.

This event is all about a Bridal Collection by famous designers in the country. And so a lot of couples who plan to get married soon will attend this event. I was excited to watch the show, even if my chance to wear a wedding gown is thin. Every woman's dream is to wear a wedding dress and enchantment for a girl to look beautiful in a white gown.

"Nikki, help serve the wine to our guests."

"Yes, ma'am."

Ah, I was avoiding getting near to Theo, but heaven must hate me. I want to keep as much as 15 meters away from him. But that was impossible though when I have to work with him for the event.
