Terrified Woman COMPLETE

Chapter 22 English Novel

I was also distracted by my brain SEVERAL TIMES, it was always Joshua. I keep remembering what I did. I still feel ashamed of myself when I think about it. Was I that desperate, and I tried to kiss him?

I was just surprised when someone suddenly spoke in front of me.

"What girl, idiot?" Donna smiled at me.

"Have you been there before?!" I asked in shock.

Yes. A while ago, what were you thinking that you didn't feel me entering your office, huh?"

"Huh? Ah, nothing... maybe just a little hangover."

Only then did I notice that he was carrying a paper bag.

What is that? I will ask.

"It's lunch time, don't you have any plans to eat? Anyways, I knew this was going to happen, so here... I brought food for both of us." It took out the food from the paper bag. I was suddenly hungry when I smelled the dish it bought.

"That looks delicious! Where did you buy it?

"I didn't buy that," he said, still smiling while preparing our food on the table.

"Huh? And where did that come from?" I asked with a frown.

"To Papa Joshua..." he said as if he was still thrilled.

"To Joshua?"

Yes. He just gave me that. They say eat to get rid of your hangover. Ayiiiee, it's a concern for you."

I grimaced. "Stop me, that must be poisonous. Or maybe there is a potion in that food. You, accept the food.

"Potion? And even if he doesn't charm you, it's like you're already in love with him." It said excitedly.

"No! I will never like him!

"He's fine... you say it. But anytime best friend. When you are ready to confess everything to me. Well, I am your first supporter. Well, if I had to choose, I would choose Wilbert or Joshua, not Papa Joshua. Not only handsome, but also smart. You'd think he could run this company of yours. Well, you won't have any problems here, because Papa Joshua will take care of everything... just open it."

"Huh? What opens? I asked confused.

"It's slow or, of course, the one who opens the door will be the one who will enter the king. The chacha will dance happily. Ganern, it's like a happy family." This song made me laugh.

"Hey! Be quiet there, you might be heard. It's just in the other office! I reprimanded him because he was laughing so loudly at me.

In the middle of our conversation with Donna. Suddenly we heard a knock from the door, at the same time it opened. The door spat out Uncle Leo.

"Uncle!" I said

"Hey! It turns out that my ex is right," he said when he saw us eating.

Donna stood up, and hurriedly took a seat for Uncle Leo. It also took a plate from my small kitchen on the side of the office.

"Sir, eat. Our dish is delicious." Donna invites Uncle Leo. The old man sat down smiling and accepted Donna's offer.

Uncle is not fond of food. The truth is that it also ate sardines and quacks. Once I brought it like that, when Donna and I decided to eat quack-kwek in the corner. Because we missed the food we used to have that we both still served and sometimes picked.

"This looks delicious." Here he took a bite of a spoon with only meat. That's Afritada with many ingredients.

I just smiled at what he said. I'm not the one who cooked it, so I have nothing to be proud of.

"How is your work, huh? Aren't you struggling? it later asked. We talked while eating.

"It's okay, Uncle. It's not much, because somehow Joshua helps me."

He nodded at my response. "I really did not make a mistake in choosing him. He never let me down. He's like my real son, that's why I really trained him here so that he can be your partner when I'm gone.

"Uncle... why are you saying that? Don't talk like that."

"Hahaha. We will all get there. That's why I'll be ahead of you. So get better, Kimberly. Your parents must be happy now, because I have seen you.

I cried because of Uncle's words. Even so, I smiled at him and thanked him that I finally met my real parents. Even though I didn't see them and was with them, I'm still thankful.

"Uncle, thank you for looking for me. Don't worry, I won't let you down. I will take care of this business of ours." I just told him to reassure him.

Thank you, Kim. Speaking of business, I had a house built in Quezon Province. That is said to be over, so I would like you to come so we can find out what else is missing. It has a big swimming pool and I want you to see it so you can think about whether to add another fool or not. It's a good business, especially during the summer."

"Sure, Uncle. When is it?" I will ask. I was so excited to go. At least I will be far away from Joshua and I will forget what happened.

"I hope tomorrow," he replied.

"Sure Ninong, Donna and I can go. So that I won't be bored during the trip, I will take him with me."

Donna suddenly smiled because of what I said. It's only once that he can go somewhere so it's really exciting when it comes to him.

"No, not Donna. I will have him do a lot of work tomorrow because you will be gone from the office. He is the only one who can replace you here. Don't worry because it is certain that you will not be bored during the trip. You have a driver with you tomorrow.

Donna's smile suddenly faded when she realized she couldn't be with him. That's why I felt sad for him too.

"That's okay, Best friend. Your Uncle is right, I'm more needed here. Just be careful tomorrow on the trip. Just take the beautiful views, and I'll just see if it's beautiful there." It said with a smile.

I just tried to smile for him. If only I could do something e. Too bad...

Anyway, even though it was sad to travel without Donna with me, I was still excited to go. Because I can somehow get away from Joshua's shadow that I always think about. It just irritates me every time I remember that I'm forcing myself to be loved by a numb person.

Carrying the small bag containing a few pieces of clothing, I left the room. I'm ready to leave the house, Uncle must be waiting for me because he knows now that I'm leaving.

I got down and went straight to the parking area where the driver was. I'll put my stuff in first, before I say goodbye to Uncle.

Arriving at the parking area, I saw Mang Jun cleaning the car.

"Mr. Jun, why are you just now cleaning up and we are leaving. Maybe we'll have lunch on the trip."

"Yes? Are we leaving? I'm sorry ma'am, I don't know because Sir Leo told me I'll have a day off today."

I frowned at what he said. Day off? He told me that he was only a driver with me. Uncle is really old, becoming forgetful.

"Iha, you're already there." A voice came from behind me making me turn around. I really expected it to be Uncle's voice, but what I didn't expect was the person he was with— Joshua.

"Uncle, Mang Jun didn't know we were leaving today. So I'll wait for him to finish cleaning the car." I said here trying to ignore the person with it.

"Yes, today is Jun's day off because it's his son's birthday. Joshua will be the one to go with you.

"Yes?!" I exclaimed.
