Anita's POV

I actually agreed to stay pregnant for the money. But that money will save mine and my mother's life. Am I selfish if I think like that?

I was in cafe working when I got a call from Mr. Ruiz. I immediately picked up thinking it may be something serious.
''Hello, Mr. Ruiz!''
''Hi, babygirl! What are you doing?''
''I'm working in cafe.''
''Okay. I will come to pick you up when you finish. We need to do something today.''
''Alright.''

He hung down as I stared at the phone. What do we need to do today? He never told me anything that we need to do today. He is sometimes full of surprises which doesn't surprise me anymore.

When I first time met him in this cafe, I thought he really rudely acted towards me. But when I began working for him, he seemed okay and he still is. I still don't understand his need for the bathroom but he goes less now.

I don't know why but every time I see him, I'm so happy. I feel butterflies in m stomach like girls describe when they're in love. I'm afraid to admit myself that I'm in love with my boss. But like I said, he is my boss.

''Are you okay, Anita?'' I heard my boss asking.
''I'm fine, Mr. Sulkin. I actually needed to tell you something.''
''Alright. Has something happened?''
''I'm probably going to quit working here. I'm sorry. I really like working here, but something came up.'' I explained. I felt so much guilt and regret but it was going to happen sooner or later.

''Oh, well. It is what it is. We can't do anything about unexpected things, aren't we? It's okay, Anita. I hope it will get solved whatever you deal with.''
''Thank you so much for understanding, Mr. Sulkin.'' I smiled gratefully.
''It's fine, dear.'' He chuckled and patted my shoulder.

I felt so delighted that he understood my situation. Mr. Sulkin is wonderful man and I hope he will continue to work well when I leave. I'm really sorry to leave him when I know how much good person he is.

My shift finished as I picked up my things. I totally forgot that Mr. Ruiz was coming to pick me up when I saw him leaned on the white silk car. His muscles were more defined as he crossed his arms. My heart was thumping loudly when I saw him.

''Hi, Mr. Ruiz.'' I say ignoring my rapid heartbeat.
''Hello, little one.'' This made me blush. Why is he always making me blush? It's frustrating. He opened the car door for me and he got on the driver seat.

I didn't questioned him where are we going, but when we stopped in front of my house, I gave him confused look.
''I thought today will be good day for you too move in my house.''
''Today?'' I said in disbelief. Why I didn't expect this?
''Yes, today. I mean it would be sooner or later.'' He shrugged as he got out of the car.

I got out as we inside the house. He immediately went in the kitchen like this is his home. I saw him taking out already finished sandwich that I made but put it in a fridge.

''That's my sandwich.'' I said.
''I'm hungry now. You can made new one for yourself.'' He said as he took a bite. How can he be so careless? I brushed him off and filled a glass with water. I haven't had time to even drink a water.

''Pack what's necessary for you.'' He said as he swallowed. I nodded and went upstairs in my room. I packed most of my clothes and hygiene necessities. It all fitted in one suitcase and smaller bag. Well, it's not like I have a lot of clothes.

I cleaned my room a little before bringing my stuff down. He was waiting for me in the kitchen. My fridge had some food that will get wasted.

''I don't want to leave food here. It will get wasted.'' I said.
''Bring the food also. My fridge is empty anyway.'' He shrugged. I listened and took another bag. I neatly placed jar's and cans with food inside the food leaving the fridge empty.

He helped me with the suitcase and bags as I locked the front door. I'm going to miss my house. I entered the  car as he drove off. I'm curious about his house. It's probably big since he is rich.

We were driving for awhile before he stopped in front of a beautiful house. More beautiful than I imagined. It's so modern and simple, but gorgeous.
''It's really pretty.'' I said in awe.
''Thanks.'' He said as he escorted me inside.

Inside was more beautiful. I didn't know he had such a good fashion sense. Which is surprising or not. Whatever. I followed him upstairs where he led me in big hallway. He opened one of the doors and put my suitcase inside.

''This is your room. Mine is two doors away if you need anything.'' I looked around the room and found it very pretty.
''Do you need something else, little one?''
''Everything is perfect. Thank you, Mr. Ruiz.'' I spoke happily.

''Okay. And one more thing. Call me Vince. It's not so formal between us now, right?'' He chuckled.
''Okay. Thank you, Vince.'' I smiled. He flashed me a grin before closing the door. Well, I guess I'm living here from now on.
