The CCEO’s Hidden Identity

“I’m close to retirement, you know here in the Philippines, people stop being hired when they get old.”

“You said you know how to drive?”

“Yes Sir Red, it’s just that honestly, I don’t have a license.”

“There’s no problem with the license. Just keep your number active. I will handle it for you, Rod.”

“Okay, thank you very much, Sir Red.”

Euna frowned when she overheard Red and their guard Rob, talking at the convenience store.

Getting to know each other is a big part of a relationship. And since she was with Red almost every day, she couldn’t help but notice that she felt something about him that seemed to be getting worse.

Something that she doesn’t really normalize anymore. Or maybe the so-called truth is attacking her again? But no, the conversation she heard here and Rob was already strange…

Just like the other day when she’s leaving the store and she could see Red and Rob talking. From a distance Red seemed like a different person compared to the Red she knew. It’s just that she felt something strange when she saw her boyfriend in that distance earlier. That’s weird though.

“Oh, here’s Ms. Euna,” Rob said when he saw her.

When Red saw him too, he immediately led her and put on her the helmet that was hanging on his motorcycle. Red is such a tender boyfriend. He automatically puts on her helmet and while doing so he stares at her. Ever since they had an official relationship, he always dropped her off and picked her up.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“What are you and Rob talking about?” she remembered to ask when she got on his motorcycle properly.

“Ah, about his work status. He is retired at his age, but Rob is still strong and can still work.”

“And? Do you know of a job that could be her age?”

Red leaned his own head against Euna’s and put his arms around his girlfriend backward and nuzzled her neck when the stoplight turned red and they suddenly stopped.

“I have a headache now, Babe, I feel like I’m going to get sick.”

That’s him when he avoids something or when he doesn’t want to answer a question.

“Take your medicine later. Maybe you’re lacking enough rest. Also you keep on working even when it’s raining,” Euna simply said.

Even though she is curious about what Red and Manong Rob talked about earlier, she trusted her boyfriend. So it’s okay if he doesn’t want to answer her question. Besides, if it’s not important, why are they still talking about it?

She just hopes that all of her small doubts will be silenced soon.

“ROB?” Euna can clearly see the name on Red’s blinking phone on the table.

The store guard of the store where she’s working, was calling her boyfriend who was taking a bath at that time. She then turned her gaze to the bathroom where he was taking a bath.

Yes, Red is taking a bath at his house. Sometimes he also sleeps there. They are adults, anyway. And things like that can be discussed and agreed upon by adults who are in an open relationship like them.

Yes, their relationship is at that level. That he’s already sleeping with them, especially if a typhoon hits him.

She knows that she won’t regret that decision because Red is different from her boyfriends in the past. They also have things in common, agreed and easy to understand each other as well.

Sighing, she looked away from the cell phone whose screen kept blinking.

Even though she was surprised by their guard’s sudden call to her boyfriend, she just ignored it. As much as possible, she doesn’t want to entertain her doubts because it’s only getting worse, which she shouldn’t be if she wants his relationship with Red to continue to be good.

Another thing is that there is no problem with her if Red wants to help the guard, Rob. If we can help in the way we know how, why not? The world is full of trouble and sorrow. With the little help we can give, that’s a big thing for others.

The phone stopped vibrating for a moment then it blinked again. Yes, Rob is still calling.

What time did Red go to the bathroom?

She almost didn’t realize. Usually, Red takes forty minutes to take a bath.

What if she answered the call?

“Babe? Who’s that?” Euna was about to answer the phone when Red came out of the bathroom.

She looked at him, he had just finished taking a shower and was wiping his still wet hair.

“Ah, yes, it’s Rob, Babe. He kept calling a while ago. I thought it might be an emergency so I was going to answer.” She decided to just hand him the device she was now holding.

“Thanks, Babe,” said Red to her. He smiled and gestured for her to let him go and leave the house.

She just gazed at him when he turned his back.

There are things she really doesn’t understand here.

Hey, she just said that she doesn’t want her sanity to get worse but she’s starting to think again.

She just shook her head and decided to go upstairs, she would just fold the clothes that had just been taken off it to the clothesline.

“WHAT do you often say to yourself, Euna Del Fierro-that you’re a brat, often,” Reyna said after placing the two cups of coffee she brewed for the two of them on the table.

She was able to talk to her now about the things that she found strange about Red recently. Things that she would consider not really normal anymore.

Just like last time when he caught Red in beast mode while talking to someone on his phone. It’s not that it’s forbidden to get angry with the person you’re talking to or something. She knows that sometimes it’s inevitable that we get angry with someone even on the phone. But what is not normal for her is that Red uses the French language while he is angry that he can use those languages ​​normally-as fluently!

“I don’t know, Reyna. It’s not that I’m bothered, but it’s so vague that I forget and ignore what I heard. Even though I tell myself that it’s not a big deal, it seems like someone is pushing me to make it a big deal,” she admitted to her friend.

“I’m not saying that you’re wrong for thinking like that, Euna, if I, too, would be thinking the same thing if I heard the same thing from Red.”

She just looked at Reyna before she sighed and sipped her coffee.

“Euna, it’s been almost five months since your relationship with Red started, whatever you think he should confess to you or say, maybe he’s still waiting for the right time or right opportunity to tell it to you.”

She didn’t speak. She quietly focused her attention on the coffee she was drinking.

“Hey, oh, that’s right, you know, when I talk to Red, I’m going to tell him that you’re short-tempered about it and it’s hard for that to happen,” Reyna even added in a joking tone.

She just smiled.

She knows that her friend is just making light of her feelings that’s why she’s joking.

But she hopes she’s right. Hopefully, whatever her boyfriend confesses to her, it won’t destroy their relationship.

Red is a good boyfriend and she knows that there are no perfect people and relationships.

She just prays that this feeling that is destroying her mind and feelings is just a small thing. Because she doesn’t want to put it on his cunt. But of course, the possibilities enter her mind that maybe…

“Besides, Euna, you are playing with your brain too far, you know he’s a rider, he interacts with different people, so it’s natural that the word he used in the application form was many languages? I think so. Maybe.”

She shook his head.

No. That’s not the answer to the question that why is Red able to speak French fluently? Also, a person who knows how to speak any language and has learned to speak it will pronounce it differently because it is not the native language of Filipinos.

She was thinking like that when something forced her way into her memory… a memory that she immediately shook her head again to get it out of his mind immediately.

She shouldn’t be worrying about that and even more she shouldn’t connect her doubts with her boyfriend.

Ah, she shouldn’t doubt her boyfriend even more. That’s not good for what everyone wants to have a healthy relationship with.

Period…?
