It had been a week that my boss was enjoying the attempts to kill me. Every resort he had to come up with, he did it to me magnificently. It was either a trap, a surprise attack, tricking me, and torturing me.

I slowly opened his office door, waiting if there's a knife or any sharp object to fall or fly towards me. I entered on tiptoe when there was none and sharpened my senses as I look around.

My eyes flew up to the corner of the ceiling where I sensed movements.

"Surprised, mother of fucking morons!" he greeted, my attention glued on the big black lizards clinging on his pants.

He immediately jumped down from the corner of the ceiling and paused. "Oh, it's not a surprise anymore," he murmured that I could still hear.

He cackled and laughed, clapping his hand. "I found out that you were scared of lizards," he said and started to walk towards me, grinning like a demon. "How about my big babies," he added and held up the two big lizards.

The tray that I was holding and planned to deliver in his office automatically slipped into my hands. Both of my ankles trembled as I got cold feet, stepping back away from him.

When he was a meter near to me, my legs collapsed in fear. My head was muddled, trying to think but I know that I'm stupid. I bit my lower lip and squeezed my eyes shut, cover ears.

I'm scared, but I can't cry because I will look ugly. A beautiful goddess like me shouldn't cry. Tiis ganda ang tawag ko nito!

I held back my tears and my scream, but stubborn water forced its way out my gorgeous eyes.

"Oh my, you're crying?" Ash asked as I felt his presence near me.

I cowered my head lower in panic when he brushed his fingers in my hair and tugged a lock in the back of my ear. "No way, you're really scared?" he queried.

He grabbed my chin and lifted it. He forced my face to face his direction. "Open your eyes," he demanded as he laughed slowly. "Ivan," he warned.

I couldn't help but cry. "No," I resisted.

He laughed loudly as he pressed his fingers that were holding my chin. "This is so entertaining," he mumbled. "Okay, I had enough. I'll forgive you so stop crying," he spouted.

"Hindi kita maintindihan. Anak ka ng mga demonyong tikbalang," I shouted, still shutting my eyes closed and stop crying.

"Demon alone would suffice," he said as he carried my body like a bride, but I remained closing my eyes.

I sobbed as tried to get rid of the hurtful pangs in my heart. "Demonyong boss," I said in an undertone. "Hindi ka ba hihingi ng patawad?"

He laughed softly. "Thank you," he replied that pissed me.

I leaned in and pressed my mouth on this chest, hesitation never crossed my mind as bite his chest.

I was waiting for him to hiss, but instead, he laughed slowly and flicked off a finger on my forehead that made me opened my eyes.

I immediately shut my eyes when I saw his dazzling appearance.

Girl, demonyo yan. Huwag magpadala.

"San mo ko papatayin na naman, Boss?" I asked and leaned on his chest. "Ihuhulog mo ako sa hagdan?" I asked once more.

He cackled. "Papakainin ko lang ang bobo kong aso," he answered.
