Selene Goddess of the Moon

SELENE'S POV

I always have my meal with sex, or most of the time before that, I manage to have sexual intercourse with any man I want. I never let myself get emotionally attached to anyone, and in my entire vampire life, I never had any romantic relationships.

After a few minutes, I fixed myself, preparing to go home. When I got out of my room to look for Martha, she was not in my office.

I checked Martha's table and she left a note.

I'm at Miss Valerie's office ma'am to fix your schedule - Martha

I walked towards Valerie's office and I heard Martha's laugh. She seems to enjoy Valerie's company, huh.... hmmm.

I notice that she is enjoying herself talking to Valerie, whom I hate; I don't know why I don't like that scene, though it is natural that she should make friends. Damn!

I don't understand, but listening to them makes me feel pissed for an unknown reason. Then I opened Valerie's office and they were stunned to see me standing at the door still holding the knob.

"Oh Ms. Selene, Is there anything you need ma'am?"

Valerie asks, seemingly not aware of my sudden appearance.

"Of course, I need my secretary now!"

I said, wearing a pissed face while looking at them.

Confusion was drawn all over their faces as I suddenly burst out.

Upon closing the door, I could sense Martha taking her steps and going out of Valerie's office, following me when Valerie called her.

"Hey Mar, dinner at my place. Don't forget"

Valerie said that makes me feel pissed even more. I really don't know where this hate comes from! Dang!

"It's a date! Hahaha"

Martha replied while laughing, then ran toward and walked behind me.

Still wearing her smile, I can see the surprise on her face seeing me with crossed arms waiting for her before entering my office.

I have these uneasy feelings knowing that those two are having dinner together; I don't understand why I am so affected by it. Is it because I never had this sort of thing aside from being on the run with Gust? Having what I can call a friend.

Then I entered my office with Martha at my back.

"I hope you have already fixed what you need to fix with Valerie."

I said in a serious tone while preparing my bag to go home.

"Yes, ma'am, your meeting with Chansze Corporation is already set for Wednesday."

She proudly said.

"No need to remind me of that, just tell me a day before, besides you're going to be with me at that meeting."

I said, then I headed out of the office.

Martha hurriedly gets her things and follows me. On getting in the elevator, she asks me something.

"Ma'am, do I still need to go to your house today?"

She asked.

"Unless you have important things to do?"

I asked her back.

"Nothing, ma'am, my time is already set. Going with you"

A short response from Martha.

"Good, let's go home then."

I said, then headed our way to the parking lot.

MARTHA'S POV

I was inside Ms. Valerie's office when Ms. Selene came. We were actually surprised when she appeared to seem pissed seeing me talking and laughing with Ms. Valerie. Well, I finished my work early so I thought it was the right time to fix things with Ms. Valerie about the schedule of Chansze.

Ms. Valerie is really nice and jolly, she is fun to talk with and so we laugh throughout the time. It is not hard to get close to her. So far, she is the first person I have got close to here. She even invited me to have dinner at her place tomorrow and so I am planning to get approval from Ms. Selene, especially if we don't have a schedule tomorrow.

Then she appeared at the door looking pissed. She said she needed me and so I followed her while going back to her office. Aside from looking pissed, she is very serious now, even when she has got her bag. I was wondering what seemed to be the problem. I remember the thing between her and Mr. Monzon earlier. I mean, has something happened that makes her like this? Geez, I just don't like interfering with someone's personal errands.

Upon getting in the car, I can sense her sadness mixing with seemingly pissed emotion about something which I don't know.

I secretly looked at her face, wearing those sad eyes. It makes me want to caress her face and make her feel that I can be a friend to her. Although it will never be going to happen, it is not in her personality to get close to others or make friends like Ms. Valerie.

When we get to their house, the head maid says her greetings along with the other maids; they help Ms. Selene with her bag and other things.

Then Ms. Selene commands them to stop the chores and have their rest in their quarters. I am now wondering who will cook our dinner. Damn! I am really hungry! Huhuhu...

"Ahem, Ma'am, I guess you should be eating your dinner now."

I said, but she didn't even look at me or even hear what I was saying, she was just sitting quietly on her couch with her legs at the top of the table.

I just ignore the way she ignores what I said and just sit quietly as well on the couch in front of her, I actually feel bored since it is almost an hour since we arrived from the office.

"If you would like, I can cook dinner for you."

I said since I am now really bored and hungry!

"Are you hungry, but you are so busy having a chit-chat with Valerie?"

She responded, which surprised me.

Whoa... is she mad and pissed because of that? Geez, I really don't understand her sometimes!

Hmmm... So she has this childish attitude huh.... Hahaha that makes me laugh!

"Ahem, so far she is the first person I have got close with here in the office and she is so nice."

I said that I guess makes her pissed even more... damn if she is a man I could tell she is jealous of Valerie!

"Don't get too complacent with people, Martha, especially those whom you have just met."

She said with a very serious tone, I get the part that she doesn't have friends or she has a very huge trust issue, but for God's sake, I can have friends and trust people anytime I want! Seeing her like that isn't a good sign to talk about my dinner with Ms. Valerie... sigh!

I choose not to say anything; I just nod at her and then remain silent.

Then silence surrounds us again for 30 minutes, and then she picks up her phone and starts dialling.

"I want to order two Hawaiian burgers, two large fries and two chicken meals with rice"

She said she was talking to someone on the phone, so she ordered food instead of cooking huh... hmmm! That will be the last I will offer myself to cook for someone!

"They will deliver the food soon; just receive it when it arrives"

She said, then walked towards the staircase going up to her room, I guess.

I just rolled my eyes at her, Grrrr! That woman really has an attitude problem! She has this ultimate bitchy personality! A real-life queen bitch! She will not answer a question if she doesn't like it, even if it is important, and she will walk away without saying anything, the biggest negative vibrant personality I have ever met! If only I could choose to have a much more likely happy job, I'd rather be there than work for her, but what can I do? I don't have a choice but to do this. I don't have millions to pay her though... haist!

After 45 minutes, the food arrived, and then Ms. Selene suddenly appeared on the stairs going down, I didn't even notice her walking out of her room.

She is just wearing shorts and a loose white shirt, she really looks simple now, and she looks different when she wears that formal attire for work than wearing simple clothes now.

She walked towards me and sat on the floor like I was expecting she would sit on the couch with her legs on the table, but instead she do the Indian sit on the floor and then pulled the fries, burger and chicken towards her.

I just remained sitting on the couch eating my burger while staring at her. She is like a kid who enjoys eating her dinner on the floor. I can see how relaxed she is right now, more than being a boss sitting in her swivel chair.

She almost consumes her food in just a minute. What the fuck!? Is she that hungry? I thought I was the one who drooled for the food; now look at her, she looks like a beggar who just eats after a month!

I just ignored her instead and roamed my eyes around. As expected, she has this classy and old style though, unlike her office, she has a picture frame with Gust on her side and speaking with Gust. I haven't heard anything from him since we got from the office.

"So, where is Mr. Gust? I haven't seen him since we got from the head office"

I ask, since he has been missing all through this time, I mean he is very nice to me and a friend I can have aside from Ms. Valerie

"I ordered him to do things, so he won't be around for some time, meaning all your questions should be answered by me. Why? Do you need anything from him?"

She explained and I was surprised by her sudden question. Although I don't have any particular questions for him, I just wanted to see him, coz his presence made me feel comfortable especially right now that Ms. Selene's gestures are very unpredictable!

I mean I don't know if she is mad at me or what, or if she is still pissed about me having a friend with Ms. Valerie.

"Oh, it's nothing! I'm just asking. He is my friend as well, and your cousin, so, I thought he would be here with us."

I explain and she just stares at me and then picks up the envelope she was holding earlier.

I got the gesture that we were done with our dinner, even though I was not yet done eating my burger. I just cleaned the table and she opened a bottle of wine then poured it into the glass and sat on the couch and then faced me holding the envelope.

"So, the first rule, is you will be with me anytime. We will go to the office together, and all your activities and personal errands should be known first by me. I am not strict regarding your off days or emergency leave as long as you inform me ahead of time or right away so my schedule will not be compromised. Second, you will only be the one who will know my whereabouts, especially if I can't be at the office. All my personal events and occasions that I need to attend should be known first by you and I will only be the one to tell you if you can disclose them to anyone, even to the board or department heads. I don't want you to be out of my sight or be missing, especially if you have chit-chat with anyone in the middle of work! Fourth, I will let you enter my room at the office unless I say so, and fifth... stay with me as long as I need you"

She explained with a very serious tone, I don't know if she was already drunk or tipsy because of the wine since she had been drinking while explaining.

"Yes Ma'am noted"

I simply responded, and then silence surrounded us again until I came up with a question.

"Ahem...Ma'am, can I ask you a personal question?"

I ask.

"Go ahead"

She simply said.

"Hmm, any plans for settling down? Plans to love someone?"

I ask, I know I shouldn't ask this question but all I can see in her eyes is sadness, she has this pain inside that keeps reflecting in her eyes, maybe because she doesn't have any other family than Gust.

She didn't respond but she drank every drop of her wine.

"It's okay if you don't like to answer. I shouldn't have asked you that in the first place though. I was just worried about you for some reason."

I said without even thinking what I was saying, damn!

While I was fighting with myself, I was surprised when she suddenly spoke.

"Worry about what?"

She confusingly asks.

"The sadness in your eyes, even if you smile or you laugh, I can see it within you, there is something there, a mixture of pain and hurt. I am not being a smart ass, but I am worried about your sadness. I have that kind of sadness too, but I know I can handle it, but you, I feel like you are not fighting it, you are entertaining it instead."

I seriously explained.

As of now, her face is really close to me, we were an inch away, and her eyes are already devoured by the alcohol, and she is staring at me. Her eyes are like a knife piercing me through while the pain and sadness are still around them. I can't help myself but touch her face.

I could see that she closed her eyes when I touched her, and then a small tear suddenly formed in her eyes. She was about to wipe it but I stopped her by holding her hand.

"It's okay to cry, I guess you need it...."

I said what I didn't know I was able to say. Right now, all I can feel is her sadness.

Tears dripped down her cheeks while I was caressing her face. She is just staring into my eyes, then a few tears turn into sad whining. I could hear her whine, so I hugged her and let her cry her heart out.

After a few minutes, she rested her head on my lap while crying until she fell asleep.
