Chapter 23: Chapter 23

Kiara POV

Almost five months have passed since I was busy at the boutique because of new clients. Fortunately, Nigel helps me sometimes even though I tell him that he shouldn't do that because I know that he is also busy with their company.

And about my brother, the last conversation we had was that he was dating Bea that was two months ago and now I know that they are in a relationship. I even pissed him off the first time I found out because I still remember what he said is not the type of woman he would like.

As for what I am seeing in my brother, he is happy and I will support him, I just hope Bea is the woman for him, I don't want to see his life miserable again. I know my brother deserves to be happy. And now I can see that he is slowly accepting that our parents are gone.

"What are you thinking?" Nigel asked.

I looked at him. "I was just thinking about my brother," I answered.

"He's already happy,"

"I know and I'm happy to see him happy," I said.

"My best friend deserves it, Princess, after what he's been through."

"It's good that he doesn't get hot-headed now, not like before," I laughed and said.

"Maybe that's the effect Beatrice has on him, when it comes to love you can do anything, even change yourself. You know Bea's attitude,"

"That's good because someone can handle my brother's behavior, only one person has ever done that to him and you know who she is," I said.

"Anyway, do you know any news about this? She posted on her social media last time. I just don't know if Storm saw that too,"

"I didn't hear anything about her, maybe I was really busy," I said.

"She said that she will come back here to the Philippines,"

I quickly looked at him. "Seriously?" I asked.

"That's what I saw but I don't know when," and then he handed me his phone and let me read the post he is talking about.

"I hope she will not bother my brother anymore," I whispered.

"We know Kae so much and I believe she won't do anything bad,"

"I know she's kind. I just can't help but think, what if she still loves her brother? What if his life and relationship with Bea will be messed up." I said.

"Don't think negatively, she also became our friend." I just shrugged my shoulders and didn't say anything more.

Beatrice POV

I'm going to my boss's office today because he called me again. I don't understand this man's trip.

When I got inside I saw him standing near the window. "What do you need Sir?" I asked him.

"What took you so long? I've been calling you many times And didn't I tell you not to call me Sir when it's just the two of us?" he grumbled again.

I laughed at him. "I finished your schedule that's why and one more thing is we're still at work," I said and walked closer to him.

"Are you done with everything you were doing?"

"Yes, why?" I asked him.

"Let's go now?"

I raised an eyebrow at him. "What time is it, Mr. Alcantara, it's too early to go home," I said.

"I'm still the CEO so I can go whenever I want."

"My work time is not over yet," I said.

"You're my secretary, right? I can take you with me wherever I go."

"You don't have a meeting today so I know you're not going anywhere connected to work or the company,"

"Well, let's have dinner,"

"It's only 4 pm! What will the other employees think if we go this early?"

"Why? You're my girlfriend and I don't see anything wrong with that."

"I know but still no. Wait until 5 pm before we leave. Okay?" I said. I saw him shake his head while smiling.

I gasped when he suddenly pulled me and hugged me. "I miss you," he whispered.

I stared at him as he let go of his embrace. "You're seeing me every day and spending time with me," I joked with him and he laughed.

Until now I still can't believe that Storm and I will be in a relationship, I knew from the first that I'm not the type of girl he would like so I didn't worry that in the past few days, we would still be close until he confessed and courted me. I admit I have had a crush on him since the first day I entered this company even though he is arrogant.

But even though our relationship is good, I still can't help but think negatively. Storm is known in the field of business and I have nothing to be proud of, I'm just a normal woman and I didn't come from a wealthy family. What will other people say? Maybe they think I took advantage.

One of my fears is that one day he wakes up and realizes that I'm not the woman he wants, that someone deserves him more. He has everything in life but I quickly put things out of my mind, for now, I'll just enjoy what we have. It is up to fate to decide our destiny.

Storm was good to me from the start even though he really doesn't want me to be his secretary. And when I learned the whole story of his life, I realized that not all rich people are bad, some of them have been through or have a dark past. Changing their behavior becomes a defense mechanism because they don't want to show that they are weak or hurt.
