Me & My Gay Boss - Episode 10

Episode 10 – I Think So



Danson entered the elevator. As he was about to press the close button, he heard someone rushing up to the elevator. He then pressed on the open button, and waited for that person to get inside. “Thank you.” he heard a familiar voice say. He looked beside him, and he saw Ella. He swallowed hard as he eyed her, for he could feel his heart beating fast. Ella looked up at him with the same surprised look. He smiled at her, trying to compose himself. “Good morning, Ella.” he said. “G-good morning.” she stuttered. She looked away from him, avoiding his gaze.

It was difficult to be in one closed space with Ella. He knew he should have forgotten what happened that night. It still had an effect on him. And the truth is, he found it hard to forget just what happened. The silence is killing him. He felt like after that one night stand with Ella, things have already changed between them, and he hates that. “How's your weekend?” he asked. “Fine.” she answered monotonously. He was getting nervous because of the way she's answering. He hates this new awkwardness between them. “Are you OK?” he asked worriedly. She looked up at him, and nodded her head. “Yeah... I guess...” she said. “Good for you.” he said with a sigh. He thought that Ella have already forgotten about what happened, and he knew he have to. But somehow, he can't He spent two days of sleepless nights trying to figure out how to take off that memory from his mind. She glanced up to him, and noticed the seriousness in his face. “About last Friday night...” she asked. Danson shot a glare at her. “What about it?” he asked. “You and Jiro... broke up... right?” she asked. “Yeah... how could you forget? You were there, remember?” he said in an annoyed tone. “We're supposed to forget everything, right?”
“The part that happened while we were drunk, yes. The part before that, no.”
“All right... just checking... so... you forgot?”

Danson let out a groan. “Ella... we talked about it!” he said. “I know! Just checking. I forgot, all right? What happened?” she asked. He folded his arms, and looked away from her. “Let's not talk about it.” he said. The seconds seems to be much longer while he is standing next to her. His thoughts suddenly became wild, as memories of her and him that night flowed though his mind. He swallowed hard as he glanced at her. Looking at her neck, he had the urge to kiss it. He closed his eyes, and bit his lips. He have to stop thinking dirty thoughts about Ella. And besides, he's gay, right?

Ding!

He couldn't stand another second of being with her, because he knew he might forget that he is her boss, and that he is gay. As soon as the elevator door opened, he immediately got out, and walked straight to his office. As he closed the door behind him, he let out a sigh of relief. “What is happening to me? Get a hold of yourself, Danson! You can't think of Ella in a lustful way... she's your subordinate, your friend, and you are gay, damn it!” he thought. He brushed his hair with his fingers as he took a deep breath.

--

“Ella... can you give the layout to the boss for approval?” Sam asked as he placed the layout on her table. Ella gave him a mortified look. “Why me?!” she exclaimed. Her colleague gave her a puzzled look. “Why not you? You're the girlfriend, right?” he said. He shook his head, and left Ella with the layout. Ella stared at it for a long time. “Should I go, and see him?” she thought. Guess, it's inevitable. Danson is he boss. Even though she wouldn't want to see him, she will have to face him. She will have to set aside this weird feeling she have in order to have a peaceful working relationship with him.

“You can do this, Ella...” she said to herself. She took a deep breath, and took the layouts. She then marched onto Danson's office. “Ella, is there anything you need?” she heard Danson's secretary asked. She looked at her, and nodded his head. “The boss is not around.” Annie said. “Where is he? Meeting?” she asked. “He said he needed a time off today, so if there's anything you need, you can tell me and I'll inform him as soon as he comes back.” Annie said.

Upon hearing that, Ella sighed with relief. At least she was saved from facing Danson – a.k.a. The-gay-boss-she-had-a-one-night-stand-with. It would be too awkward for her to face him right now, since she lied about forgetting what happened that night. And simply because of what happened, she was beginning to have lustful thoughts about her boss. “Great!” she exclaimed happily, which made Annie confused. She composed herself, and made a serious expression on her face. “I mean, OK. Can you ask the boss to take a look at these layouts for the next issue? Sam needs an answer by tomorrow.” Ella said. “All right, I'll inform the boss.” Annie said.

As Ella went back to her desk, she let out a sigh of relief. At least for the day, she won't have to see him. She just needs to worry about tomorrow.

“I can't believe you asked me to go to the gym.” Joe said as he and Danson entered an exclusive gym. Danson clutched onto his bag as they walked inside. “I'm so stressed out lately...” he said with a sigh. Joe looked at him, and smiled. “I know, girl... with the breakup and everything... you must really stressed out.” he said. He paused, and faced him. “Look...” he said, pointing at his forehead. “You've got some wrinkles, dearie. And you've got eyebags. Looks like you didn't have enough sleep!” he exclaimed. Danson just nodded his head. “Ella didn't made me sleep for the past two days...” he answered silently. “Looks like you've been tiring yourself to work just to forget Jiro. Dear, that's not a good way to move on. One way to move on is find a replacement for him.” Joe said. “Where can I find a replacement for the greatest love of my life?” he asked.

Just then, a handsome guy passed by them. He looked at Joe, and winked at him. Danson could see his friend gave the guy a flirtatious look. “Aren't you a bit concerned about your image, Joe? What if everyone finds out that you're gay?” he asked. Joe looked at him, and rolled his eyes. “To hell with image and reputation! I want to be happy, and the only way to be happy is to be who you really are. I am gay. I'm proud of that. And even if people hate me for that, I don't give a damn. I'm just being true to myself.” he said. Danson just shook his head. He wished he could be just like Joe, and not care about what people think about him. For all the times that he was with Jiro, he was too scared to let other people know that he is gay. Not only was he protecting Jiro, or was scared of what his mom is going to say, but because he doesn't have the guts to be true to himself.

“And Danson, dear... Now that the Jiro fiasco is over and done, it's time to find a new love. I know that your relationship with Jiro is not that good... I mean... you chave to keep your real self a secret. This time, find someone who can accept you, and be proud of who you are.” Joe suggested. “Do you think I could find such guy?” he asked. Joe smiled at him, and nodded his head. “I know so.” he assured him.

--

After changing to his gym clothes, Danson walked over one of the treadmills. He turned it on, and began to walk onto it. As he was concentrating with his workout, a guy came up to his side, and used the treadmill just beside him. He doesn't know why, but he glanced accidentally at the guy. The guy looked at him, and smiled. He smiled back at him, and nodded his head.

“So, you always here?” the guy asked him. Danson looked at him. “Not really. Only when I'm stressed out. How about you?” he asked. “Twice a week.” he said. Danson just nodded his head. He pushed the button of the treadmill to increase the speed. “Sorry, I got curious... It's the first time that I've seen you around.” the guy said. The guy stopped his machine, and then he extended his hand to him. “By the way, I'm
Ethan. Ethan Ruan. And you're...” Danson stopped his machine, and took his hand. “Danson. Danson Tang.” he said.

As he held Ethan's hand, he felt an electricity bolting through his veins. With the way that Ethan is looking at him, he felt as if he's melting. He doesn't know if it's the cardio exercises he did, but he felt his heart beating fast upon feeling the warmth of his skin. “Nice meeting you.” Danson said. “Ditto.” Ethan said. He felt frustrated when Ethan let go of his hand, and began to run on the treadmill again. He looked away from him, and continued with what he was doing a while ago.

He finds him cute, but he's not sure about him. Is he gay? Or is he straight? Does he like him, or he's just friendly? He wants to laugh at himself. He felt like a school girl having a crush for the first time. He just shook his head, and minded his own business. Maybe this infatuation he's having will pass. At least he proved to himself that he's still gay.

--

The next day.

Ella stared at Danson's office door. She have been staring for 3 hours now. Since she came in this morning, she have not seen him, not even his shadow. “Ella, did the boss approved the layout?” Sam asked. She shook her head. “He was out all day yesterday. And he seems not to be around...” she said. Just then, they both heard Annie call Sam. “Sam, here's your layout. The boss already approved it.” Annie said, giving him the layout. The two gave her a confused look. “I thought he's not here?” Sam asked. “He's on leave for a week. He asked the important documents to be sent to him, especially those that needs to be approved.” Annie said.

Ella's face fell upon hearing what Annie said. “He's... on leave?” she asked. Annie nodded her head. “But he'll be back next week.” she said. Sam looked at Ella, giving her a playful smile. “You didn't know your boyfriend is on leave? Did you guys had a fight or something?” Sam asked. Ella folded her arms, and glared at him. “Shut the fuck up.” she said in an annoyed tone. Then, she stomped her way back to her desk.

She could still hear Sam snickering at her for the way she reacted. She have all the reason why – she was worried as to why Danson went on leave for a week. Was he trying to avoid her? Was he mad at her because of what happened between the two of them that night? She wanted to think that she wasn't at fault for what happened, but she kissed him that night. And that kiss led to something more. Even if Danson's gay, he is still a man. She somehow felt guilty for taking advantage of his drunken state. She doesn't like it when someone's mad at her, especially a friend, and in this case, she hates the fact that Danson is mad at her. Or hates her because of what happened.

She let out a sigh, and slump her head on her desk. She doesn't know what to do now. She didn't want to lose her friend. She have to think of a way to see him.

--

And while Ella is being paranoid thinking what has happened to Danson, he, on the other hand, have been enjoying going to the gym that entire week.

“Oh, you're here again.” Ethan said as he saw her coming out of the locker room. Danson paused, and smiled at him. “Yeah.” he said. “You must be really stressed out.” Ethan commented. Danson just nodded his head. He walked past Danson, and headed to the bench press. The reason why he went to the gym frequently is to have a glance of Ethan. He have to admit to himself that he's having a crush on him. He's cute, nice, and really friendly. Not to mention, he have a nice body.

He stretched out his arms, then he lifted one of the dumb bells with his one hand. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his arm as he lifted it. “Ouch!” he said aloud. Ethan turned to look at him. He smiled and shook his head. Then, he walked up to him. “You're lifting it the wrong way.” Ethan said. Danson gave him a puzzled look. “Huh?” he asked. “Do it like this.” he said. He held his shoulder, and then he held his hand. He gripped onto Danson's hand, as he showed him the right way to lift the dumb bells. He looked up at him, and Ethan's gaze locked with his. Then, he let out a smile at him.

He felt his heart racing against his chest with that look, with that smile, and with his touch. He looked awa, and swallowed hard. He felt aloof with him around. Maybe he's straight, and he doesn't know how to deal with him, knowing that he have a crush on him. What if he found out that he have a crush on him, and didn't take it in a good way?

“Got it?” Ethan asked. That snapped him out of his thoughts. “Y-yeah... thanks.” he said. He watched as Ethan take his leave and went back to his place. He looked at Danson again, and gave him a wink. “I take it as he's interested in me. For now.” he thought. He smiled to himself as he continued to work out that day.

--

“Where are you? Call me. I need to talk to you.”

Ella pressed on the send button of her phone, and put it on the coffee table. She stared at for a long time, which George found weird. “If you're waiting for his reply, FYI, it takes a minute to tyoe a long text message.” he commented. Ella looked at him as she took the pillow and hug it. “Do you think he'll reply?” she asked. “Depends if he is busy or not. Anyway, who is this 'he' you're talking about?” George asked. Ella looked away from him, and let out a sigh. “It's Danson, isn't it? What? Trouble in paradise?” he asked again. Ella answered with a sigh.

George walked up to her, and sat beside her. “Come on, tell me.” he said. “I think he's mad at me...”
“Why would he be mad at you?”
“Because I did something I'm not supposed to do.”
“And that is?”
“Can I not tell you this time, Georgie?”
“Is it worse?”
“I think so.”
“Have you apologized to him?”
“He said that I should just forget about what happened.”

George let out a smile. He put his arms around her, and pulled her for a hug. “I think he's not mad at you. But because you did something bad, he have to be away and forget about it. Give the guy some time, all right?” he said. “I just don't like it when he's like this... Why does he have to stay away from me? It made me think that he hates me!” Ella said. “I don't think Danson could hate you, Ella.” George said. Ella gave him a puzzled look. “How could he hate the girl he loves?” he said. This made Ella even more puzzled. “Danson? Loves me?” she asked.

George let out a laugh at her. “It's either you're too densed or what. I think the guy's in love with you.” he said. “But the guy is gay...” she muttered under her breath. George gave her a confused look. “What?” he asked. Ella's eyes widened upon realizing what she just said. “I... I said I don't think so.” she said. George just shook his head. “Look, I think the reason why you're being this paranoid is because you feel the same way for him. You love him, Ella, or else, it wouldn't matter to you if he's mad at you or not.” George said. “But i'm always like this with you guys...” she defended. He smiled, and shook his head. “I see worry in your eyes. I see that you fear losing him in your life. You have to admit, Danson suddenly became that important person in your life now, Ella. You love him. There's no denying it.” he said. Ella could only look away from him, trying to figure out if he's right or not. Sure, something changed that night they slept together. But does that mean that she's starting to see Danson in a more different light?

--

The elevator door opened. As Danson walked out, and towards his pad, he saw Ella waiting for him outside his door. It's only been four days since he took his leave at the office, because he wasn't to sure how to face Ella. He had to be sure of himself, that nothing changed in him after that night they spent together. He wanted to be sure that he is still gay, and that he still sees Ella as a friend.

“Ella?” he said. Ella looked at him. He walked up to her. “What are you doing here?” he asked her. “I heard you took a leave...” she began. He let out a smile at her. “I felt too stressed out at work... at everything. It was too much to handle for me. And then there's my breakup with Jiro... and the fact that he is enjoying himself with another guy. I need the time to think things through, and slow down...” he said. Ella had this look on her face that she was about to cry. “Am I adding up to your stress?” she asked. “I never thought of you that way, Ella.” he said. “Then, are you mad at me?” she asked again. He paused, then he shook his head. “I'm not mad at you, or even hate you. You are special to me, Ella. You know that.” he said. Ella lowered her head as she speaks. “But what happened to us...” she said in a low voice. “It will be something special for me... but you know what I really am. I know it was something we both didn't want to happen... but just happened. You are my friend, ans the last thing I want to do is have this beautiful friendship between us be ruined because of that night.” he said.

Ella looked up at him, and she saw him smiling at her. “What we have... it's something special. We have this bond that no one could ever have. The friendship we have is very important to me... that's why I wanted us to forget that night, because I know it will ruin everything. That's why I stayed away from you... because I know that you have not forgotten about it yet. I don't want you to think that I used you to forget him... it's not like that.” he said. Then, she turned into a smile. “I understand now. I won't ever talk about that night anymore. Just don't do this again... you worried me. I thought... I thought I'm going to lose you.” she said. He held her hand, and then pulled her into a hug.

They stood there by the hallway for a long time, just hugging each other. “You'll always have me...” he whispered to her.

Me & My Gay Boss - Episode 9

Episode 9 – What Happened Last Night...



“Aaaaaahhhhh!”

As Ella slowly opened her eyes, she could feel her head aching, as if someone is hammering her head. The loud shriek from somewhere near her is not helping her headache at all. “Shut up.” she muttered under her breath. She turned to her side, and from ¾ closed eyes, she noticed a bare skin right next to her. She tried to ignore it, but then she heard another loud shriek. She half-opened her eyes, and this time, she began to panic at the sight of a bare chest before her. She looked up, and saw Danson looking at her with a shocked expression on his face.

“Why is he beside me? And why is he naked?” she thought. She looked at herself, and saw that she was covered in a blanket. She peeked herself inside he blanket, and aw that she was naked as well. She sat up and covered herself fully with the blanket. She gave a mortified look at Danson. “Aaaaahhhh!” she shouted. Danson flinched as she shrieked. “What did you do to me?!” she questioned him. Danson rolled his eyes at her. “I was the one who should ask you about that!” he snapped at her. “You raped me!” she said accusingly. “I should be the one saying that, not you! You took advantage of me!” Danson shouted at her. “Take advantage of you? You are the guy here! You're strong and... and I'm weak...”

She pouted at him, and covered her chest even more. “How can you say I took advantage of you? Do you remember anything before we passed out?” he asked. Ella opened her mouth say yes, but as she tried to remember what happened the night before, she couldn't remember anything at all. “I don't... but that doesn't mean I don't remember everything, all right?” she said. “Then, what happened?” he challenged her. Suddenly, the thought of what happened the night before came into her mind,and she was to embarrassed to admit to Danson that she really did took advantage o f him when he was drunk.

[Flashback]
“I love him... I love him... I love him...”

Danson laid his head on the countertop, and closed his eyes. As he sleeps Ella stared into his face. “How could someone just throw your love like that? Did h know that a lot people is wanting to be in his place, and be loved by you?” she thought. Then, she reached for his face, and caressed his cheeks. She doesn't know what she got into to her. Maybe it's the alcohol, but she found herself wanting to kiss him. Without any second thoughts, she leaned to him, and kissed him on the lips. After she kissed him, Danson's eyes opened.

[End of Flashback]

“Why are you putting all the blame on me? Don't you remember a thing about last night?” Ella asked
him. Danson gritted his teeth as he looked at her. Guilty as charged, he sure did remember what he did the night before.

[Flashback]
He slumped on the countertop, and closed his eyes to rest for a while. Then, he felt fingers trailing on his face, making him feel somewhat excited. Just then, he felt warm lips pressing against his. As he opened his eyes, he saw Ella staring at him. Her eyes widened with shock when she saw him slowly waking up.

“I... I have to go...” she said. He stood up, and tried to stop her. Good thing that she stumbled as she walked, so he was able to get hold of her. He doesn't know if it's the alcohol or his raging hormones, but he had the urge to kiss Ella until both of them get tired of kissing. He looked into her eyes for a long time. “God, she's beautiful...” his thoughts wandered. “Stay with me... please...” he pleaded. “This night would be would be hell for me if you leave me...” he said. Ella just stared up at him, not saying a word.

He leaned down on her, and captured her lips with his. As she moaned, his hand roamed at his back, and then, as he reached her shoulder, he began to take off her cardigan. His lips trailed down to her neck, down to her bare shoulder, with his fingers pulling down the strap of her tank top. He felt her lean her head on his cheek as he made soft kisses on her neck.

“Danson...”

He paused and looked at her. When did his name became to sound beautifully when she speaks of it? It was the alcohol, he thought. He pulled her close to her, and he kissed her lips hungrily once more. He took her, and carried her inside his own room, and laid her on his bed. He stared at her for a long time, smiling to himself at the beautiful sight before him. He leaned down to her once more, and kissed her on the lips. His hands moved, and began to take off her tank top.

They kissed, and they took off their clothes. In a moment, both of them are already naked. Danson looked at her, admiring every inch of her bare body. He caressed her cheek, and let out a smile at her. He leaned down to her again, and began to make love to her.

[End of Flashback]

Danson looked away from Ella. There was an awkward silence between them, a very awkward silence. “What have I done?” he thought. He shouldn't have drunk too much alcohol, and Ella shouldn't have been there for him last night. He looked back at Ella, and their eyes met. Then, they looked away from each other again. “I'm taking a shower.” he said. He wrapped his body with blanket, and rushed inside the bathroom. “Don't get out naked, will you!” Ella said. As soon as Danson left, she let out a sigh. She lay on the bed, buried her face with a pillow, and let out a loud groan.

--

And there was another awkward silence between them as they were having breakfast.

No one dared to speak a word as they ate breakfast. Everything just seemed awkward. Danson felt guilty for taking advantage of Ella, while Ella was also feeling guilty because of taking advantage of his drunken state last night. “I think we should forget that this had happened.” Danson said. Ella looked up at him. “You see... this is just a mistake, right?” he said. Ella nodded in agreement. “I think we should pretend nothing ever happened between us. And besides, you're gay... and I'm not really into gays.” she said. “Well then, I'm glad that we agreed.” he said. He looked at her again, and smiled. As Ella looked up at him, she could feel her heart beating fast. “What the heck is happening to me?” she thought. As Danson looked away from her, she held her chest and felt her heart beating. “Stop it... it's just a one night stand, don't be affected by it. And besides, you should pretend that nothing happened, right?” she thought.

--

Ella slowly opened the door of her apartment. She went straight to the stairs, when she heard someone caling her. “Ella, where have you been?” She paused, and saw Mike sitting by the dining table. “Seriously, you're not waiting for me, are you?” she asked. Mike shook his head. “I saw you creep inside this house, so I figured that you just came home.” he said. Ella walked up to him, and sat beside him. “Work?” Mike asked. Ella shook her head. “You slept at Angela's and Hebe's place?” he asked again. “Why are you interrogating me?” she asked in an annoyed tone. “Because I'm worried.” Mike said.

Ella sighed as she leaned on the table. “So, where have you been? Don't tel me you got laid last night?” Mike asked. Ella was shocked at his question. She looked at him, and saw him laughing. “M-mike!” she exclaimed. “I'm just kidding. I know you haven't got laid since that wild party back in college. Anyway, I don't know anyone who is willing to do it with you, unless you forced Danson to.” Mike said. He winked at her, and then let out a laugh. Ella could feel her cheeks getting hot because of what her best friend said. “I did not force Danson!” she shouted defensively at him. Mike stopped laughing and gave her a puzzled look. “I... I mean... I... He... we had some work done. I slept. On his living room.” she said. “Relax, I'm just joking. And besides, you don't look like someone whom Danson will sleep with. Well, not to offend you, but despite all the rumors about you two, I see that you two are just friends, no sparks whatsoever.” Mike said.

“You know what... I think I need to go to sleep.” she excused herself. She knew that if she keeps on talking to Mike, especially at her state right now, she might tell him that there is something that happened between her and Danson last night. “All right. Oyasumi nasai!” Mike said as she went up to her room.

--

Monday morning.

Ella ran up to the elevator. It was about to close, but as she ran up to it. “Thank you.” she said as she got in. She was surprised to see Danson inside, and the two of them were alone inside the elevator. “Good morning, Ella.” he said as he smiled at her. “G-good morning.” she said. She looked away from him. She could hear her heart beating fast again, now that she is standing close to him. “How's your weekend?” Danson asked. “Fine.” she said monotonously. She looked up at him, her eyes landing on his thin, pink lips. As she stared at it for a long time, she had the urge to reach up to him, and kiss him. She wanted to feel the warmth of his kisses once again.

She knew she is having indecent thoughts about her boss, so she looked away from him. “Cut it out, Ella... you agreed to forget about the whole thing, right?” she told herself. “Are you OK?” Danson asked. Ella looked up at him, and nodded his head. “Yeah... I guess...” she said. “Good for you.” he said with a sigh. “What does he mean by that?” she thought. She glanced up to him, and noticed the seriousness in his face. “About last Friday night...” she asked. Danson shot a glare at her. “What about it?” he asked. “You and Jiro... broke up... right?” she asked. “Yeah... how could you forget? You were there, remember?” he said in an annoyed tone. “We're supposed to forget everything, right?”
“The part that happened while we were drunk, yes. The part before that, no.”
“All right... just checking... so... you forgot?”

Danson let out a groan. “Ella... we talked about it!” he said. “I know! Just checking. I forgot, all right? What happened?” she asked. He folded his arms, and looked away from her. “Let's not talk about it.” he said. She looked up at him, and stared into her face. She remembered having his face close to her. She remembered his warm breath against his skin just before his kiss. He remembered the warmth of his palms roaming in every inch of her body.

And she shook her head. She doesn't know why she had to remember those things. It was embarrassing enough that after a long time of celibacy, she did it with her boss, her gay boss. It could have any hot guy like that model Wu Chun, or that artist Arron Yan, but it had to be with her boss – her hell of a gay boss.

Ding!

The elevator door opened, and they are now on the Glam office. Danson walked out of the elevator and she followed him inside. He never threw another glance at her, and headed straight to his office, while she went straight to her desk. She slumped on the table, and let out a groan. “Damn... what the hell is happening to me?” she thought. She glanced at his office door, and let out a sigh. “I think I should stay away from him till I totally forget about what happened that night...” she thought.

Me & My Gay Boss - Episode 8

Episode 8 – Break Up, Make Out




“I just don't see the point as to why you have to tell your mom that you're gay!” Jiro said disappointedly to Danson that night. “I had no other choice. She cornered Ella, and the only thing left to do is to tell her the truth.” Danson explained. Jiro folded his arms, and glared at his lover. He was too careful not to let their families know about the two of them and about their sexual preference, and here is his boyfriend, who had no qualms telling his own mother about us. “So, what if your mom bumped into my dad and tell him, 'Oh, did you know that your Jiro is dating my Danson?' You're not thinking, aren't you?” Jiro snapped at him. “I did not tell my mom anything about us!” Danson said defensively. “I just came out of the closet, but I never said anything about us!” he added.

Jiro shook his head as he sigh. “Do you think you could get away with just telling your mom that you're gay, without her asking you if have a lover or something? I know your mom!”
“You don't know my mom as much as I do!”
“But for sure he asked you if you have one!”
“Even if I did, do you think I will tell her the truth? Don't you trust me?”
Jiro looked away from him. Danson walked in front of him and made him face him. He held his shoulders, and stared into his eyes. “Do you think I would ruin you? Do you think I will betray your trust? I love you too much, Jiro. I can't do that to you, all right?” Danson said. Jiro brushed his hands away from him. “I don't know, Danson. I don't know...” he said. Danson gave him a puzzled look. “Look, things are getting out of hand, and I don't know whether I still want to be with you or not. I think both of us needs a break.” he said.

Danson's eyes widened upon hearing what he said. “What?!” he said. “You heard it. I need a break. Let's have a cool off for a while, all right?” Jiro said. Danson could not believe what he is hearing. “You... you want to break up... with me?!” he asked, still in a state of shock. “Look, we both need time and space apart. There's a lot of things going on inside my mind, and the last thing I need is this.” Jiro said. “You're mad at me because of what I did?” he asked. Jiro didn't answer his question. Instead, he turned his back at him, and left.”

“Where's boss? I need to have these photos approved.” Ella asked Annie. “He's inside, but he doesn't want to be disturbed right now.” Annie said. Ella gave her a wondering look. “Is he having a meeting with someone right now?” Ella asked. Annie shook his head. “Nope. When he came in this morning, he told me to cancel all his meetings, reject all phone calls and when someone asks for him, to tell them that he is not around.” Annie said. She stared at the door for a while, and then looked back at Annie and smiled. “I think the boss wouldn't mind if I see him, right?” she asked. “Maybe not, if it's about work.” Annie said. Ella smiled at her, then she reached for the doorknob and opened his office.

“Boss...” she called as she got inside his office. She closed the door behind her, and as she looked at Danson, she was shocked to see him. His suit is disheveled, as if he didn't put too much effort in fixing it. He had black circles in his eyes, as if he looked like a panda. And his hair that used to be neatly brushed, is disheveled as well. On top of that, his once clean desk is now filled with documents and papers which he haven't take a look yet, or not needed. “What happened? Why is your office a mess? Why are you a mess?” she asked. Danson, who was folding a paper plane, threw it at the other side of the room, and then he turned to face Ella. “I am a mess, all right?” he said. Ella walked up to him, and had a closer look at his face. His eyes are red and puffy, as if he cried the whole night the night before. “You cried?” she asked. Danson pouted, and nodded his head. “Why? Did you and Jiro had a fight?” she asked. “Worse. He broke up with me.” he said.

Ella was surprised at what he said. “He did? But why?” she asked. “Because I told my mom that I am gay... and he was scared that his dad will finally find out that he is too, and that I am his lover. He said he needed to think things through, and he needs the time and space alone.” he said. Ella felt sad for Danson. She knew how much he loves Jiro, and now that they broke up, she could feel the pain he is feeling. “Oh, Danson...” she said. She hugged him tight, and with that, Danson broke down. “You'll be fine. One day, Jiro will realize that he is wrong. I'm sure one day, he'll come knocking at your door, and beg you to come back to his life. And if not... you know what they say, there's a lot of fish in the ocean.” she said. “Are you saying that to make me feel all right? It's not working, you know!” Danson said as he cried.

Ella pulled away from him, and gave him a smile. “Tell you what, instead of crying over your break up, I think it's better if you enjoy your newfound single life for now.” She said. Danson wiped the tear from his eyes as he gave her a confused look. “What do you mean?” he asked. “How about a girls' night out. We could go to a club, then hunt for cute guys, and you could find a replacement for Jiro.” she said. Danson gave her dagger looks because of what she said. “I have no intentions of replacing him!” he said. Ella could only giggle at his reaction. “OK then. How about singing your lungs out at the Karaoke Bar tonight?” she asked. Then, she winked at him.

Angela and Hebe were dancing to the tune of “Gee”, while everyone was laughing at the two for the silly dance steps that they make. That night, Ella was able to convince Danson to go out with them. She called on Angela, Hebe, Ariel, Mike and George to join them. “And thank you very much, Girls Generation, Taiwanese version.” George said as soon as Angela and Hebe headed back to their seats. “All right! Who wants to hear Mike He sing?” George asked. All of them groaned and protested, except for Mike and Danson. “Well, I will sing whether you like it or not!” Mike said. Danson was wondering why all of them doesn't want Mike to sing. “Because he really couldn't sing.” Ella explained to her. Danson just nodded his head. “Fair enough.” he said. “OK, anyone here wants to hear the great Ella Chen sing?” George asked. Everyone raised their hands, and cheered on Ella. Ella groaned and shook her head. “Not this time, all right?” she said. Everyone groaned with frustration. “Oh, come on, Ella...” Ariel said. “If Ella doesn't to sing, then I will!” Mike said. The three protested and threw napkins at him. Mike ducked and covered himself from their attacks. “All right, all right! I won't sing!” he said.

Ella and Danson just watched as their friends attached Mike. “Hey, how about boss?” Hebe suggested. Everyone seemed to agree with him. “Me?” Danson said in a shocked tone. “Yeah, boss. You should sing. Everyone have their turn.” Hebe sad. “Everyone, except Mike.” George said. Danson gave Ella a hesitant look. Ella smiled at him, and gave him a thumbs up sign. He let out a sigh, and dragged himself up from his seat. He took the microphone, and selected a song to sing.

I guess she was restless
And she just couldn't wait
Didn't want to miss a thing
Or be a minute late

We all know the feelin'
I used to be that way
That's why I can say to her
Baby I really want you to stay

So I'll be standing by
Watching her come and go
And after we've said good-bye
There's still one thing I think she should know

Tell her I'll be waiting
And I'll be holding on
Every minute she's gone
She's gone too long

Tell her I'll be waiting
If I can be that strong
Every minute she's gone
She's gone too long

I know I'll remember
The face I can't forget
And I'll have time to thing about
All of the things we haven't done yet
And maybe it was timin'
Needed a place to start
That's why I can say to her
Baby, you're taking a piece of my heart

So I'll be standing by
Watching her come and go
After we've said good-bye
There's still one thing
I think she should now

Tell her I'll be waiting
And I'll be holding on
Every minute she's gone
She's gone too long

Tell her I'll be waiting
If I can be that strong
Every minute she's gone
She's gone too long

I know you have to fly
Everyone needs to be free
I won't stand in your way
I'll be right here
Whenever you need me

Tell her I'll be waiting
And I'll be holding on
Every minute she's gone
She's gone too long

Tell her I'll be waiting
If I can be that strong
Every minute she's gone
She's gone too long

Just tell her I'll be waiting
I'll try to carry on
Every minute she's gone
She's gone too long

Every minute she's gone
She's gone too long

Every minute she's gone
She's gone too long
Everyone clapped their hands after Danson sang his song. He went back to his seat as soon as Mike jumped out of his to argue with George about him singing next. “So... that song... that's for him, right?” Ella asked. Danson paused for a while then he looked at her. “How did you know?” he asked. “Because the song is about waiting for someone whom you know will not come back anymore...” she said. Danson lowered his head, and let out a sad sigh. He felt Ella hold his hand. He looked up at her, and saw her smiling at him. “Don't worry, I know things will go back to normal. Jiro will understand everything, and the two of you will make up...” she said. Danson let out another sigh. “I really hope so...” he said as he sulked.
Ella knew that dragging Danson to the KTV bar with her friends is not helping him at all. She have to think of other ways to cheer him up. “You want to sneak out and get some fresh air?” she asked him. Danson nodded his head. “I think I need some fresh air.” he said. Ella nodded his head. She looked at her friends, and saw that they were too busy taking off the mic from Mike's hand. They stood up, and got out of the room.
They stood outside the bar. Danson was silent the whole time, while Ella was trying to cheer him up by telling him funny stories and some jokes. “I guess I should give up now... it doesn't matter how funny my stories are, you don't seem to laugh at it.” she said. Danson gave her a faint smile. “I'm sorry, Ella... I guess, no matter how people try to make you smile, when your heart is hurting, you can't find a reason to smile at all.” he said. “But there will be some people that won't stop till they see you smile, like me.” he said. She slipped her hand to his, and then held it tight. Danson looked at her, and smiled. “I'm glad that you're here with me...” he said. Ella smiled back at him, and then she hugged him. They were in that position for so long, until they heard George calling them.
“Hey, guys... what are you doing here?” he said as he broke the two. He smiled at them, and put his arms around them. “Let's go back inside. Help us take the microphone away from Mike and save us from becoming deaf, all right?” George said. Ella and Danson nodded their heads. “Time to go back inside.” Danson said. Then, they went back inside the bar.
==
“Ella, I've got a personal question to you that I want you to answer truthfully, all right?” George said. It's midnight, and the two were lounging at the living room after they have gone from the KTV bar. “Shoot. What is it?” Ella asked. “Are you in love with your boss?” George said. Ella looked at her best friend for a long time, and then burst out laughing, which made George puzzled. “Why are you laughing? I'm serious!” George said. “Look, Danson and I are just friends, aside from the fact that he is my boss.” Ella said. “Come on, you two are too close for comfort. Not to mention, the paparazzi have been insinuating things, and that wedding announcement his mom made...”
“It was all a big misunderstanding”
“All of a sudden, you asked us out, and you brought him with you.”
“All of us needed a break.”
“You hugged him!”

George pointed at her accusingly. Ella shook her head. She turned to him, and then pulled him to a hug, which shocked George. “There.” she said as she let him go. “I hugged you, feels much better?” she said. “This is not the issue of who you are hugging or not, all right?!” he exclaimed. “Then, what are you trying to prove?” she asked him. “That you are in love with your boss.” George said. Ella paused, and looked at him. “And you have not realized it yet.” he continued.

--

Office hours have ended. Friday night.
Danson got out of his office, and saw Ella fixing her bag, and was almost ready to go home. “Ella, do you have plans tonight?” he asked. Ella looked up at him, and shook her head. “Nope. I'm planning to stay home since I'm alone. Ariel and Mike are going south for a vacation, and George said he have a hot date tonight.” she said. With that, Danson smiled at her. “Cool! Do you want to go out tonight? Coffee or clubbing later?” he asked. Ella smiled at him, and then she put her hand on her waist. “So, is this your way of trying to move on?” she asked. Danson smirked at him as he folded his arms. “I can't always sulk because of our break up, right? I want to enjoy being single for once.” he said. “Well, I'm glad you finally figured it out. Shall we go?” she asked. Danson said. “Let's have dinner first. I'm starving.” Danson said.

They went to one of the restaurants within the block to have their dinner. After an hour, they finished eating, and left the place. As they walked towards Danson's car, Ella noticed a familiar car which is parked at the other side of the street. “Isn't that Jiro's car?” she asked. Danson looked up, and at that very moment, Jiro came out of the cafe, with a younger man walking beside him. “Yeah..” he said. He had a bad feeling about the guy whom Jiro is with. He saw Jiro clinging onto the guy, and the guy was flirting with him. After a while, the two got inside the car, and sped away. “Who is he with? Is he a friend?” Ella asked. Danson shook his head. “I don't know who the guy is, but I have a very bad feeling about them...” he said. Ella threw him a puzzled look. “Get in the car.” he commanded her. Ella was surprised at his angry reaction. “Where are we going?” she asked the moment they both got inside the car. Danson started the engine, and began to drive. “To Jiro's pad.” he said.

==

Ella let Danson drag her up to Jiro's pad. She couldn't ask him anything about why they are here, because Danson is already steaming from anger. They stopped at Jiro's door, then he began to fumble for the keys in his pocket. “I don't think this is a good idea, Danson... you two broke up, remember?” he said. Danson could only glare at her. As soon as he got the key, he slipped it on the door, and turned it to open. He stormed inside the pad, and then headed to Jiro's room.

He swung the door open, and he saw Jiro on bed with the guy he was with moments ago. And they were both naked. Jiro was surprised to see his ex-boyfriend in his pad. “D-Danson?” he said as he sat up, covering his naked body. Danson closed his eyes. He knew something fishy is going on. He was hurt, he was angry, he wanted to punch Jiro and hurt him in the same way that he did. He wanted to cry, but he can't cry in front of him. “How could you do this to me?” he said softly. As he opened his eyes, he saw Jiro shaking his head. “We're through, all right?” he said in annoyed tone. “You said you want space and time? Is this the space and time you're talking about?” he shouted with anger.

Ella walked up beside Danson, and held him by the arm. She's afraid that he might do something that he will regret. “Look, I can do whatever I want, all right?” Jiro said in an annoyed tone. “So, just because we broke up, you can fuck whoever you want? Huh? Well then, fuck you, Jiro! Fuck you!” Danson said. He walked towards him, and slapped him in his face. When he was about to slap him again, Jiro held his both hands so that he can't hrt him. “Stop it, Danson!” Ella said. She managed to pull him away from his ex. The guy beside Danson glared at him. “Look, bitch... no matter what you do, Jiro will not come back to you. He is not in love with you anymore. I'm the one he loves.” the guy said. Danson glared at him, and then glared back at Jiro. Jiro could only lower his head. “You... you... love this faggot?!” Danson shouted. “Of course, he is! Why would you think he will always make an excuse not to see you? Do you think he is going overseas for some business? Of course not! He is out with me all the time! And you being with that bitchy girl all the time is not helping at all. Good thing you told your mom about you being gay, and he got a reason to break it up with you.” the guy said haughtily. Danson looked at Jiro, and this time, he smirked him. “You heard him.” he said. “You don't love me anymore?” he asked in a hurt tone. Jiro nodded his head. “So, I guess you have to leave. We're through. I'm with Zax now.” he said. No matter how much he calmed himself down, he just couldn't. He clenched his fist, and then threw a hard punch on Jiro's face. “Thank you for breaking my heart!” he shouted at him before storming out.

--

They ended up at his pad that night

Danson took the bottle of whiskey, and poured himself another glass of wine. He gulped down his drink, and then poured the content of the bottle on his glass again. “Danson, stop it.” Ella said, pulling the bottle away from him. He let her take away the bottle from him. After he finished his drink, he slumped on the bar counter, and then broke down. Ella could feel the pain he is feeling right now. She was in a similar situation months back, and she knew that Danson needs her now more than ever. She rubbed his back to comfort him. “Danson...” she called. “He doesn't love me anymore...” he said softly.

Ella sighed as he sat beside him. “It's his loss that he let go of a wonderful man like you. He could never find another you, Danson.” she said. Danson looked at her with tears in his eyes. “It's not really helping, Ella.” he said. “Then what do you want me to do to make you feel better?” she asked. Danson sat up from his seat. He grabbed another glass, and poured the whiskey on it and gave it to Ella. “Drink with me. Share my misery.” he said. Ella took the glass, and drank up it's contents.

A few drinks later, the two were already drunk. “That stupid faggot must think Jiro is a good lover... he isn't! He's a lousy lover!” Danson slurred. Ella could only laugh at him. “You're just jealous... that he is fucking your ex...” she said. “I can fuck with every hot guy I know... I just chose to be faithful to him... stupid him! Stupid me... I wasted my youth on that one guy...” he said. He then slumped on the counter again. “You'll find a better man... believe me... the next one you'll meet will be much better that Jiro... especially in bed...” Ella said. Danson could only laugh at her.

He laughed, and laughed, until he began to cry again. “I still love him...” he said as he cried. Ella reached for his face, and wiped the tear in his eyes. “I love him... I still do... and if he ask me back... I will still take him back... I love him... I love him... I love him...” he muttered until he fell asleep. She watched him as he sleeps. Her fingers trail onto his cheek. For her, Danson is a perfect boyfriend. Anyone would be lucky to be loved by him, and it's a pity that Jiro just dumped him to be with another. She moved closer to her, and then, she kissed him on the lips. With that, Danson opened his eyes, and then he looked at Ella.

When Danson woke up from her kiss, she realized that what she did is wrong. She was too embarrassed for kissing him, she didn't even know what came into her that she kissed him. “I... I have to go...” she said. She stood up, but stumbled when she tried to walk. Danson held her hand. She looked at him for a long time, and he stared into her face. “Stay with me... please... this night would be hell for me if you leave me...” he said. Ella shook her head. “I can't... I can't...” she said. She doesn't know how he did it, but before she knew it, she was already in his arms. She felt her world swirling, and before she knew it, he was kissing her lips.

And before she knew it, they were in his room, he was taking their clothes off, and Danson was already making love to her.

Me & My Gay Boss - Episode 7

Episode 7 – Mother Knows Best



And so, Danson found himself sitting in his office, with his mother probing on him.

“So, are you taking her seriously now, Danson?” Louise asked her son. “Mom, I don't think that whatever business I have with Ella has something to do with you.” Danson said in an annoyed tone. His mom just smirked at him. “It is my business, son. How old are you anyway? 28 turning 29? Do you think it's about time the you produce me an heir?”
“I am not ready to settle down!”
“Then, when are you ready? When you could no longer produce an heir?”

Danson just let out a sigh. He is getting annoyed with his mom badgering him about getting married. Well, if she only knew that her son does not like women that much. “What is wrong, Danson? When I arranged a marriage for you and Megan a few years back, you refused. I see you dating other girls, but I never get to meet them. And now, you got yourself involved with one of my best photographers here in Papers and Pen... and...” Louise sighed, and shook her head. “You're not taking Ella seriously, aren't you?” she said. “Ella is just a friend.” Danson insisted. “I could swear you were as giddy as a school boy when you mentioned Ella's name... when you were convincing me that you should handle Glam. I want to think that you have a crush on her...” Louise said. Danson could only give his mom dagger looks. “Mom, how many times do I have to tell you that I am just interested in her work?” he said. Louise raised an eyebrow at him. “Don't give me that look, mom. This conversation is over.” he said. “Oh, just her work? Then, why is it that when I read the newspapers, I always see news of you and Ella Chen? Like that one time at the parking lot, and that one time at a wedding?” she said. “It was nothing, mom... all right? Ella and I are just friends. End of conversation.” he said.

Danson stood up from his seat, and headed to the door. But as he reached for the knob, he heared his mom speak again. “Too bad... I told myself that the next girl that will get involved with you, I'll accept her wholeheartedly. Well, I guess you leave me with no other choice, Danson...” she said. Danson looked at his mom again. “Choice? What choice?” he asked. Louise folded her arms, and smirked at her son. “You have to be married within three months... or you will lose your chance at running this company, young man.” she said. Danson's eyes widened with surprise at what his mother said. “What?!”

--

“What do you think they are talking about?” Angela asked as she approached Ella's desk. “Do you think his mom doesn't approve about you two dating?” Hebe asked. Ella gave her friends a confused look. “Dating? Us?” she asked. Angela and Hebe nodded their heads. “You two are dating, right?” Angela said. Ella simply shrugged her shoulder, and continued on editing the pictures on her Mac Book. “I think she's scary, though! I can imagine... maybe Louise Tang will call on Ella, give her money, and ask her to leave his son alone! And because Ella loves Danson so much, she will refuse and stay by his side.” Hebe said. She clasped her hands, and sighed dreamily. “Oh, what a romantic scene...” she added. “Wei, you're watching too much idol dramas, Hebe. I don't think that would happen, all right? And besides...”

Ella let out a sigh. Then, she looked at the monitor sadly. “I am not Danson's girlfriend...” she muttered under her breath. “What did you just said?” Angela asked. Ella looked up at her. “I said... I don't think it's anyone's business if I'm Danson's girlfriend.” she said to them. Angela and Hebe gave each other a confused look. “Whatever. Just be careful of Louise Tang. Who knows, she might be as bitchy as Dao Ming Si's mother in Meteor Garden... or Liang's father in Tokyo Juliet... or...” Hebe paused, and looked at Angela and Ella, who were giving her dagger looks. “Seriously, Hebe. Stop watching too much dramas.” Angela said.

--

“She what?!”

Jiro and Ella exclaimed at Danson. Danson let out a sigh, and shook his head. It was 8 in the evening, and the three are having dinner at Danson's pad. “Should I repeat myself?” Danson asked. He had enough headache for the day, just because of his mom. “OK, babe... let me get this straight. You have to marry someone, or you will not inherit Papers and Pen?” Jiro asked. Danson nodded his head. “Why would your mom do that to you?! You're her only son!” Ella said. Danson folded his arms. He leaned back on his seat, and sighed. “I don't know why she was asking me that. Actually, it was more of because she thinks I'm getting older, and I'm still playing around... that's why.” Danson said. “So this is all because of your playboy image before?” Ella asked. Danson nodded his head. “And since the last girl being linked to me is none other than Ella, she thinks that I am still playing around. So... she said that I should get married or else...” Danson said.

Jiro looked at Ella, and then let out a smile. “So, you think Aunt Louise wants you to marry Ella?” he asked. Danson shrugged his shoulder. Then, he let out a smirk as she continued on staring at Ella, which is already giving her the creeps. “What?” Ella asked. Jiro turned to Danson. “I think it's a good idea if Ella will be the one whom you'll marry.” Jiro said. The two gave him a confused look. “What? But... why me?” Ella asked. Jiro smiled at her again. “Look, you know our little secret, right? You're the safest candidate... the one I will not get jealous of. And besides, you don't have a crush on my baby, right?” Jiro said. Ella gulped as she looked at Jiro. “I don't have a crush on your baby.” she confirmed. “Which makes you a more suitable candidate as Danson's wife.” Jiro said. Ella let out a sigh. “Why can't the two of you just admit that you are gay?” Ella asked. The two men looked at her with eyes wide open. “No!” they said in unison. “Come on... it's just Danson's mom...” she said. “I don't want to disappoint my mom...” Danson said. “And what are the chances that if his mom found out, my family will find out as well.” Jiro said.

Ella let out a sigh as she leaned on the table. “So... I'll pretend again?” she asked. Jiro nodded his head. “I don't think it's a good idea anyway, babe...” Danson said. With that, Ella let out a sighof relief. “I guess I can still talk to mom... about that. Just wait and see, all right?” he added. “And if your mom doesn't agree?” Jiro asked. Danson looked at Ella, and smiled. “Ella will marry me.” he said. Ella just shook her head as she sighed.

--

The following week at the Glam office.

Ella entered the office, and noticed that weird look that her colleagues are giving her. “Good morning, Ms. Chen!” Sam said as soon as he saw her. “Ms. Chen? And since when did you become formal, Sam Wang?” she asked. Sam just answered him with a smile. “Ms. Chen, the layouts are in your table now.” Eric said. Ella threw him a confused look. “What the heck?” she said. “Ms. Chen, would you like some coffee, or tea?” Gui Gui said, popping out of nowhere. Ella gave her a puzzled look as well. “No... thanks...” she said hesitantly.

As she reached her desk, Angela and Hebe came up to her. “Congratulations, Ella!”they shrieked in unison. Ella gave them a confused look. “What? Did I got promoted, or something?” she asked. Danson definitely didn't tell her anything about her being promoted, anyway. “It's much better than getting promoted, Ella!” Hebe said, holding her both hands. “I can't believe that you didn't tell us anything!” Angela said. Ella was puzzled about what her friends were telling her. “Tell you about what?” she asked. “That you and Danson are getting married soon!” the two said in unison. Ella's jaw dropped upon hearing what they said. “What?!”

--

Danson angrily threw the paper on his mom's table. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. Louise looked at the paper, and saw the marriage announcement she have published for Ella and Danson. A smirk formed on her lips as she leaned back on her leather chair. “Well...” she said. “Mom! Who are you to interfere in my life? I am not getting married! Not yet!” he shouted angrily at her. Louise just laughed him off. She stood up from her seat, and circled around his son. “I think you should thank me, Danson. I am making things easier for you.” he said. “I am not getting married yet. I haven't even asked the girl yet!” he hissed. “And so? You will ask her in the future, right?”
“Why are you pressuring me?”
“You're not getting anymore younger, Danson. I'm just doing you a favor.”
“You're ruining my life.”

Louise found herself amused at her son's reaction. “Why would a mom ruin her child's life? I care about you, Danson. A lot. I know what's best for you, and I'm just doing this for you.” she said. “You don't even know what I want to do with my life!” he shouted. Louise paused, and faced her son. “What is it that you want to do with your life. Tell me now, dear.” she said. Danson stood in his place, looking at his mom's eyes. At that moment, he wanted to tell him what he really is, and what it is that he really wants. But he couldn't do it, for he was thinking of Jiro's sake. “I want... I want to ask Ella's hand in marriage without you interfering with us.” he lied. Louise just smirked as she folded her hands. “So, she is for real this time, huh? Are you really sure of what you feel for her? Or... you're just using her to hide your dirty little secret?” she said. He could only look at her with surprise in his face.

--

“I have no idea that this would all get out of hand. I'm really sorry, Jiro...” Ella whispered on the phone. “I'm OK, really. You don't have to worry about me. And besides, I told you before that I will be at ease if you were the one whom Danson will marry right? I just never thought it would be this soon...” he said on the phone. “I have no idea how this happened. Let me clarify things with him first. He might be doing a move without telling us.” she said. “All right, I trust you with that. Let me know what you found out.” Jiro said.

Ella ended the call. As she turned to her computer, Louise Tang went inside the Glam office. She looked around for a bit, and then, she spotted Ella on her desk. She let out a smile as she walked towards her. “Ms. Chen, just the person I'm looking for!” she said. Ella jumped up of her seat as she saw Louise coming her way. “M-madam Tang...” she said. “Are you busy? Can I invite you for a cup of coffee now?” she asked. She bit her lips. As she lowered her head, she noticed the message from Hebe on her screen. “Don't let her intimidate you! Jia You!” Hebe said on the messenger. Ella looked up, and saw Louise waiting for her answer. “I... I'm free, I guess...” she said. She let out another smile her. “Well then, let's have coffee, shall we?” Louise said. Ella nodded her head. She followed Louise outside.

They found themselves at a posh coffee shop just below the building of Papers and Pen Publication. Ella sat across Louise, and was quite the whole time. As soon as their orders arrived, Louise began to talk to her. “So, I assume you have known my son for over 8 months?” Louise said. Ella nodded her head. “And you've been dating him for how long?” she asked again. Ella doesn't know how to answer that question. She doesn't know how she will lie to her boss. “Four months... I guess....” she lied. Louise nodded her head. “How much do you love my son?” she asked again. Ella was taken aback by that question. Sure, she knew she is crushing on Danson, but love? That's out of the question. Especially since she knows he is gay. “Do you love my son more than he loves you?” Louise probed again. Ella slowly nodded her head. “So, I guess we wouldn't have a problem when the two of you get married soon. I assume you read the announcement on the papers this morning.” she said. “I didn't, honestly. I... just found out from my colleagues that there was such an announcement. You see... Danson haven't told me about that plan...” she said. Louise leaned back on her chair, and clasped her hands. “How interesting...” she said.

“Madam...” Ella began. “Honestly, I'm not sure what is going on... but getting married soon seems a little too fast for the two of us. I don't think Danson would want to be married soon. After all, he have some plans...” she said. “But I think he can do his plans even if he is married. He is not getting younger anymore. You too. And as for me, at my age, I think it's about time that I tend to the needs of my grandchildren, don't you agree?” she said. Ella just lowered her head in response. “You might be scared of the fact that my son is a playboy. He easily gets tired of each girls he dates. He changes girlfriends as fast as he could change his underwear. He never took them seriously. But you know what, Ella... I like you. I want you to be Danson's wife. And I hope that you will help me convince him to settle down.” Louise said.

Louise took something inside her bag. She took a bottle of pills, and placed him on the table. Ella stared it for a while, and then gave Louise a puzzled look. “Sleeping pills. Put some on his drink, take off all his clothes, and let nature take its course.” she said. Ella's eyes widened at what she said. “You want me to drug your son... and... sleep with him?” she asked. “If that's the only way for the two of you to get married, then yes.” Louise confirmed. “Are you insane?!” Ella exclaimed. “No, dear. I'm desperate.” Louise said. Ella let out a sigh. “Why are you desperate?”
“Why are you hesitating?”
“Is this some kind of a test?”
“I'm not testing you. I'm doing you a favor.”

Elle let out another sigh. She bravely looked up at her. “I don't know why you want me to do this, but I refuse to do what you're asking me to do. I can't force Danson to do one thing that he doesn't want.” she said. Louise let out a smirk as she looked at her. “You're refusing... or maybe you're trying to cover for him, aren't you?” she asked. Ella gave her a confused look. “I bet by now you know his secret.” Louise said. “What secret?” Ella asked. “That he could never be with a girl.” Louise said. Ella was surprised at what she revealed. “Because my son is gay.”

Dear Danson,

As much as I want to help you keep up this little charade of ours, I can't. Look, I love you as a friend, and as a boss. I care for you a lot. I know you don't want to be stuck in a loveless marriage just for the sake of putting up a front, right? I know, because I do.

Just do this little favor to yourself – tell your mom the truth about you. Your mom is a very smart woman, I know that. And I know that her instincts have been telling her that something is wrong with his son, why you didn't want to settle down and all that crap. I can't cover for you forever, OK? So I suggest that you have a little one-on-one talk with Tang mama, and explain the situation. I'm sure she would understand it.

Love lots,
Your supposed to be fiancee

P.S.
OK, so I spilled the beans. What can I do? She cornered me!

Danson folded the paper, and looked outside the office window. Ella is right. She can't cover for him forever. There are things that he have to let her mom know, and one of them is his sexual preference. He looked at Ella's letter once again, and took a deep breath. “It's about time I came out of the closet...” he thought. He took the letter, and marched outside his office, and onto his mom's office.

“Mom, we need to talk.” He said as he went inside. He locked the door behind him, as he approached her. Louise swiveled her chair to face him. “Yes?” she asked. “I have to tell you something.” he said. Louise leaned back on her chair, and let out a smirk. “What is it?” she asked. “I can't marry Ella. I just can't. And I can't marry any girl for that matter...” he began. He closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. As he opened his eyes, he stared onto his mother's eyes. “You know, since I was young, I... I was confused about things. I... I don't know what it is inside me that I'm feeling... it was scaring the hell of me. I was scared because people will judge me. I'm scared because I might disappoint you. But as days passes by, I... I have confirmed that I've become what I'm scared of. It... it was killing me inside, mom. I have to keep it a secret because... because I was too scared to hurt you, and disappoint you. I'm your only son, and I know you have high expectations from me. I did my best in everything, I really did. I did all the things you wanted without any hesitations, because I am so damned scared to let you down...”

He bit his lips as he felt the tear about to roll down from his eyes. He just couldn't help but breakdown in front of his mother. “Mom, I'm gay. I'm sorry... I... I'm sorry that I can't be the son you really wanted. I'm sorry that you gained two daughters instead of just one. I'm so sorry...” he finally said. Louise stood up from her chair, and walked up to him. Then, she smiled at him, and hugged him tight, much to his surprise. “I love you, son.” she said to him. Upon hearing that, Danson let out a smile. “I love you, no matter what you've become. You are my son, and I can accept you for whatever you are. There's nothing wrong with being, gay, Danson. It's much better than you ruining your own life for nothing.” she said. Then, she pulled away from him. She smiled at him, and caressed his cheek. “I knew from the start that you're gay, Danson... and it's breaking my heart to see you putting up that front by dating a lot of girls, when I know you could have come out of the closet and admit it to me...” she said. Danson gave her a puzzled look. “You knew? But you said you won't give me the company till I marry someone, Ella in particular?” he said. “I only did that to make you admit that you're gay. And besides, I was scared that you are toying with Ella's feelings. She is my favorite photographer, you know, and if she resigns because you broke her heart, I won't forgive you for that.” she said. He let out a faint chuckle at his mom. “Ella knew I'm gay.” he said. Louise nodded her head. “I know. I forced her to tell me the truth. And I'm glad you told me the truth.” she said. Danson smiled at him, and then hugged his mom again. “I love you, mom.” he said. “I love you too, son.” she answered.

--

“So, how does it feel like coming out of the closet?” Ella asked Danson as they were strolling at the park that afternoon. Danson put his hands on his pocket, took a deep breath, then smiled at her. “Feels great. At least I came out to my mom. I wouldn't have to hide anything from her. And I don't have to pretend to my mom that I'm something that I'm not.” he said. Ella nodded her head. “Good.” she said. “But you know, I can't come out fully because of Jiro. If people found out about us... especially his dad, he will surely kill him.” Danson said. Ella just laughed at him. “I know, right?” she answered.

As they sat at the bench, Ella looked at Danosn, and noticed that there was some kind of sadness in his face as he sighed. “What's wrong?” she asked. Danson looked at him, and gave him a faint smile. “You know what... I talked to Jiro about telling my mom about me being gay. And he didn't quite take it to heart...” he said sadly. “So, you two had a fight?” Ella asked. Danson nodded his head. “He's mad at me.” he said. Ella put her arms around his neck, and smiled at him. “Don't worry, I know if we explain further to him, he will understand.” she said. Danson just sighed, and looked away from her. “I really hope so...” he said.

Me & My Gay Boss - Episode 6

Episode 6 – The Fall Guy/Gay



Danson opened the door and saw Ella standing by his door. “Ella?” he called. He saw her bit her lips as she looked up at him. Her eyes where already flooded with tears, and he could tell that she was trying her best to control those tears.“Danson...” she said sadly. Then, she hugged him tight, and began to cry.

Danson was surprised when Ella hugged him, and cried on his chest. There was nothing he could do but let her cry. He took a deep breath and brushed her hair as she cried. “Sssshhh... hush now...” he whispered to her. He could feel Ella's heartbreak as she sobs. And he wished he could do something to ease the pain she is feeling.

--

Danson walked to the couch, and placed a cup of milk in front of Ella. “Thanks...” she said in a faint voice. She grabbed the cup with her both hands, and inhaled it's steam. The whole hour, she have been crying on Danson's shoulder without saying any word. By now, he might be wondering why she was crying. No. He must have guessed the reason why she cried.

“What happened?” he finally asked. Ella looked at Danson, and he could clearly see the tears flooding her eyes again. She wanted to open her mouth to speak, but she felt that if she starts speaking, she would breakdown again. “Let me guess, Wallace?” he asked. She nodded her head. “Let me guess again... it wasn't you that he likes?” he asked again. She paused, and then she began to cry again as she nodded her head. “He... he... he's... getting... married... to... to his... ex-girlfried!” she said in between sobs. He pulled her close to her, and then hugged her tight. “I told you... don't expect too much from him. See what happens? You hurt yourself more... you shouldn't assume that he likes you in the same way that you like him, because people's feelings are different in each and every way. You may like Wallace so much, but I can see that he only likes you as a friend...” he said. Ella looked up at him with tears on his eyes. He smiled at her, and wiped the tear falling from her eyes. “Don't worry, Ella... even if the two of you didn't end up together, I know that one day, someone will come into your life. When he comes, he'll make you realize why you didn't end up with him. And that someone will give you the love that you truly deserve.” he said. “You... you think so?” she asked. Danson nodded his head. “You're a great girl, Ella. You could make any guy fall for you... but Wallace is an exemption.” he said. “Why does the guy I like is always an exemption?” she asked him. “Because...” he said, smiling at him. “You two are just not meant to be.”

--

Three months later.

Ella laid her head on the table as she stared at the ivory parchment envelope on her table. “To Ms. Ella Chen and friend.” it says. She let out a sigh as she continued to stare at it. The envelope on her table contains the invitation for Wallace's wedding next week. Wallace, who had been busy since that night he told her that he is getting married, took a time off from his busy schedule to personally deliver the invitation in her office. She could swear she wanted to cry as he handed her that invitation, but being a good actress that she is, she managed to accept it with a fake smile.

“Ella... about the photos for the next issue...” Danson said as he walked towards her desk. He had a folder in his hand, and was reading it as he walked. “I want you to -” As he looked at her, he paused. He noticed the gloomy expression on her face. “What's wrong?” he asked. Ella just shook her head. “Nothing.” she said. Danson wrinkled his brows as he folded his arms. “Nothing means something. Speak up.” he said. Ella just answered him with a sigh. He looked at her desk, and noticed the wedding invitation. He took it, looked at it, and then looked back at Ella. “I think I know now why you're like that. Come into my office.” he said. Ella sat up with a shocked look on his face. “But boss -”
“Just come with me at the office. We need to talk.”

As Danson turned his back on her to go back inside his office, Ella let out a groan. She lazily stood up from her chair, and followed him in his office. “What?” she asked in an annoyed tone as she closed the door behind her. She saw Danson reading the invitation. “So, the wedding is next week, huh?” he said as he turned to her. Ella nodded her head. “And it also says here that he reserved a seat for you and your date. Have you found someone to be your date?”
“I'm planning to go alone.”
“And what, make yourself a fool by looking miserable?”
“I'm good in acting.”
“You maybe, but you see.. with the way you look... you won't be able to convince him that you're happy for him.”

Ella gave him a confused look. “What do you mean?” she asked. “Have you seen yourself in the mirror?” he asked. Ella looked at herself, but he's still confused at what he is speaking. “Your eyes are red. You have black circles around your eyes, as if you haven't slept well for the past few days. You don't wear any make up. You don't fix yourself. It's as if you are out to tell the world that you are miserable because he is getting married.” he pointed out. Ella bit her lips as she lowered her head. “Thanks for bringing that to my attention...” she said in a low voice. Danson folded his arms, and let out a sigh. “Ella, you are not only my subordinate, you are also my friend. And as your friend, I have the right to care for you. I care for you. A lot. I can't let you go alone on his wedding...” he said. Ella looked up at him and gave him another confused look. “What do you mean?” she asked. “How about bringing me along as your date?” he said.

Ella's eyes widened with surprise. “No! No way!” she said. “Why?” he asked. “I decided that I don't want to go...” she said. “And what? You'll just mope in your house because the man you love is already married?” he asked. “I can do something worthwhile...” she said. She walked up to him, and snatched the invitation on his hand. “As much as I want to go to the wedding, there are other things I would rather do. I'll tell him I won't be going...” she said. Danson just shook his head as he watched her leave his office.

--

Wedding day.

“Ella, I'm going to work now.” Ariel said as she went down the stairs. She saw her best friend lying on the couch with a bowl of ice cream on her hand while watching some cartoons on TV. “Are you sure you're not going to senior's wedding?” she asked. Ella let out a laugh and shook her head. “I'm good here! Watching Spongebob Squarepants on DVD is much more fun than attending his wedding.” she said. Ariel folded her arms, and looked sternly at her. “What?” Ella asked. “Ella, you are hiding any grudge at senior, right?” she asked. Ella gave her a confused look. “Why would I?”
“Because you have a crush on him for a long time.”
“And so?”
“Because you two became much closer when he came back from Singapore. You thought you will have a chance with him, but it turns out that he only came back to ask Penny jie to marry him.”

Ella just laughed off what she said. “Oh, please... just because of that?” she said. Ariel folded her arms, and let out a smirk. “How about proving to us that you are not bitter because he didn't choose you?” she said. “Who says I'm bitter?” she said in a defensive tone. “Me, Mikey and Georgy. We all know you've been carrying a torch for senior since university days. And besides, your crying every night gives way to your feelings.” she said in a matter-of-fact tone. Ella let out another groan. “Go, and mind your own business. If I don't want to go to the wedding, nothing can make me go.” she said. Ariel could only shake her head as she turned to leave her all alone.

--

Her Spongebob Squarepants marathon was interrupted by a loud, impatient knock on the door. As much as she doesn't want to stand up from her spot on the couch, she grudgingly did. “Coming!” she shouted as she walked towards the door. As she opened it, she was surprised to see her boss, handsomely dressed in his tuxedo. “B-boss?” she exclaimed. Danson just let out a smirk. He looked back, and saw him, signalled someone to come in. Just then, the make-up artist and stylist from Glam (Jolin and Fan Fan) came in immediately. “What are you guys doing here? It's my rest day, you know? No photoshoot scheduled for today.” she protested. “Oh, we're not here for the photoshoot, Ella...” Danson said as she walked inside the house. He sat on her couch and made himself comfortable. “We're here to make you over.” he added.

Ella's eyes widened with surprise at what he said. “You what?!” she shouted. “Girls, you know what to do. Fix her.” Danson ordered. Jolin and Fan Fan nodded their heads, then they turned to Ella and held her both hands. “Fix me? What? Are you out of your mind?!” she shouted at Danson. She looked helplessly at her colleagues. “Sorry, Ella...” Jolin said. “Boss's order.” Fan Fan said. As the two dragged her to her room, Ella shouted. “Stop it!” she shouted. Then, she glared at Danson, who was smiling evilly at her. “I'll get you for this, Danson!” she shouted. “Oh, no need to thank me. You're welcome, Ella.” he said.

As the door closed behind her, Fan Fan pushed Ella on her bed. “OK, I'll do the hair and make up. Jolin, prepare the gown.” she sad. Ella gave her a confused look. “Gown?” she asked. Just then, Jolin opened her big bag, and showed them a yellow, off shoulder gown. “This one?” she asked. Fan Fan looked at it, and shook her head. “No. Do you have any other gowns... or dress?” she asked again. Jolin nodded her head, and showed them a baby blue haltered dress. Upon seeing that, Fan Fan's face lightened up. “Just perfect! Now, let's dress her up.” she said. “Wait, what is going on?” Ella asked. “You and boss have a date today, right?” Jolin said. Ella was surprised at what she said. “We do?” she asked. The two nodded their heads. “OK, enough of the talking, we have lots of thing to do. Now, go and dress up.” Fan Fan said, handing her the blue dress.

--

It's been over an hour since Fan Fan and Jolin dragged Ella up to her room, and Danson has been walking back and forth in her living room. He sighed as he looked at the Cartier watch on his wrist. His thoughts were interrupted when she heard someone coming down the stairs. He looked up, and saw Jolin walking down the stairs. “She's ready.” she said, smiling at him. As he turned his eyes on the stairs, he saw Ella in her baby blue haltered dress, walking down the stairs. They pulled back her short hair, and put a light make up on her face.

When he saw how pretty she is today, he couldn't take his eyes off of her. It was as if she casted a spell on her. “So, what can you say about our creation, boss?” Fan Fan asked. He turned to her, and smiled. “Perfect. Just... perfect...” he said as he smiled at Ella. Ella just let out an annoyed sigh. “Where are we going anyway?” she asked. “You'll find out soon.” he said. He let out a smile at her, and then he gave his hand to her. “Shall we go, princess?” he asked. Ella let out another sigh, and took his hand. “Fine...” she said. “Wherever it is, let's go.”

--

They entered the grand ball room of a known hotel in Taipei. There were a lot of people around, which made Ella wonder where they are. “What kind of a party is this?” Ella asked Danson. He looked at her and smiled, and held onto her arms tightly. “You'll find out soon.” he said. “You've been telling that to me along the way. Can you tell me where we are?” she hissed at him. “I will tell you, but you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you won't walk away or even kill me, all right?” he said. Ella nodded her head.

Before Danson could explain anything to Ella, they heard someone calling her name. “Ella!” she looked back, and saw Wallace walking up to him. With him is her lovely bride. “Wallace?” she asked. Her senior walked up to her, and gave her a hug. “I'm glad that you were able to come to my wedding.” he said. Ella gave Danson a confused look. “Sorry that we missed the ceremony. Ella and I had some problems at work, so we had to attend to it first.” Danson said. Wallace just smiled at him, and nodded his head. “I understand, don't worry. What's important is that the two of you are here.” he said.

Ella is getting even more confused with what's happening. “So, I assume the two of you are OK now. When Ella told me that she won't be able to make it, I was sad of course. But when you explained that it's only because you two had a fight over some nonsense things, I finally understood.” Wallace said. Then, he looked at her, and smiled. “Of course, it would be depressing for Ella to be in a wedding, when she wanted to call it quits between the two of you. But good thing the two of you made up.” Wallace said. She just stared at Wallace in confusion. She doesn't know what Danson said to her senior to make him say those things. “Of course, I have to woo my girlfriend...” Danson said. He pulled Ella close to him for an embrace. Ella looked up at Danson with confusion. “G-girlfriend?” she asked. Danson winked at her, and smiled. “Anyway, enjoy the party. My wife and I will have to attend to some more guests.” Wallace said. Danson smiled, and nodded his head. Ella could only watch as the newly-wed couple mingle with the other guests.

“Why didn't you tell me that we are going in his wedding?” Ella hissed angrily at him. “That's the exact reaction I'm expecting to get from you if I told you earlier that we are going to Wallace's wedding.”
“What did you tell him? I already told him that I can't go.”
“That we had a fight that day. That you were planning to breakup with me, and then decided not to go to the wedding because you're depressed. He somehow believed it.”
“You told him I'm your girlfriend?”
“Aren't you? You agreed to pretend to be my girlfriend for me and Jiro's sake, right?”
Ella folded her arms, and glared at her. “Should I hate you?” she asked. “Can you stop pouting? Don't ruin the mood. And Wallace might think we're fighting again.” he said. “You're gonna be a dead meat, Danson Tang.” she said. She stomped away from Danson, and sat on an empty table. Danson just smiled, and shook his head.

--

As she sat alone on the table, her eyes gazed at the lovely, newly-wed couple dancing at the center stage. She admits, the two looked good together. Penny and Wallace have always been the golden couple during college days, and they were the envy of the many. And now, she is envying them. After a long time, the two had their own happy ending. And Penny gets to keep the man she have always dreamed of. “Care to dance?” she heard Danson asked. “Why me?” she asked. “Because you're my date.” he said. She let out a sigh, and then stood up from her seat. “All right. Let's dance.” she said.

Everyone was dancing around, and the two found a spot just right near Wallace and Penny. As Ella put her arms around her neck and slow danced with him, her eyes were on Penny and Wallace. She could see the happy smile in Wallace's lips as he gazed down on his wife. He could see the love in his eyes as he leaned down to her to kiss her. She could feel her heartbreaking knowing that she could never be in Penny's place, that he cold never love her the way she loves him.

“Don't cry...” he heard Danson say. She looked up at him, and noticed the worried look in his face. “Don't put up that sad face. Be happy that he finally found that happiness, even if that happiness did not came from you.” he said. “How can I be happy when my heart is breaking?” she asked. “You told me you're good at pretending, right? Pretend that you are happy, and enjoying this party. Pretend that you're happy for him. Pretend that you are not in love with him.” he said. “And what if I can't?” she asked. He paused for a while. He gazed into her eyes, and then, smiled at her. “If the pain in your heart is so great that you can no longer pretend... just lean on me and cry...” he said.

He made a swift move across the floor, so that Ella's back would be facing Wallace. He held onto her tight. Ella held his shoulder, and leaned on his shoulder. As she closed her eyes, tears fell down from her cheeks. He could hear her muffled cries as they danced. He leaned to her head, and kissed her hair, hoping that it would ease the pain. “Just let it out... don't worry, I'm here for you... I'll protect you...” he whispered to her. She wiped the tear from her eyes, and then looked up at him and smiled. “Thank you for being here for me...” she said. “I can't leave you all alone, can I?” he said. She just let out a faint smile. He paused for a while, and wiped the tear on her eyes. “Don't worry. From now on, I won't cry over some stupid guys.” she said. “That's my girl.” he said.

They danced to a few more songs, not saying a word to each other. Just then, Danson felt someone tapping his back. The two them looked back, and saw Wallace behind Danson. “Mind if I dance with Ella for a while?” he asked. Danson looked at Ella. She smiled at him, and nodded her head. “Well then, I'll leave you and my girl for a while.” he said. He took Ella's hand, and handed it to Wallace. Wallace walked to her, and put her hand on his shoulder, while holding the other hand. As they began to slow dance, Ella saw Danson walk back to their table, winking at her.

“So, I never knew that you've been dating your boss. Maybe that's the reason why he looked jealous the first time we met.” Wallace began. Ella looked up at him. She opened her mouth to speak, but she doesn't know what to tell him. “He looks like a great guy, in my humble opinion. He even asked me how to appease your anger.” he said. Then, he let out a laugh. Ella could only smile at his senior. As they made a move, she looked back at Danson, who was sitting alone on their table. “He is a great guy...” she said. “Too bad he is gay...” she added in her thoughts. “Ella...” Wallace called. Ella looked up at him. “Thank you for being here on my special day.” he said. “I... I wouldn't miss it for the world...” she said shyly. “You almost did... because you had a fight with Danson. Which, I don't think is the reason. Is that the lamest reason your boss could think of?” he said. Ella looked at him with a surprised expression on his face. “What?” she asked. “You're not mad at me, right?”
“Why should I be mad at you?”
“I don't know... maybe because since Penny agreed to marry me, I've been spending less time with you.”

Ella lowered her head. “Ella, I don't want you to think that something changed between us. Everything about us... will be the same. I will always love you as my friend, and as a sister. Always remember that. You will always be my junior, and I will always be your senior.” he said. Those words seems to be piercing her heart, but she just have to accept the fact that that's the way Wallace sees her – a sister, a friend, and a junior. He is happy now, that she knows, and she doesn't want to spoil that happiness. “I'm happy for you...” she finally said with a smile. “From before, I knew how much you loved Penny. And when the two of you broke up, I saw how hurt you were. I'm happy to see that you're finally happy.” Wallace smiled at him. “And I could see that you are happy with him as well.” he said. He glanced at Danson's direction, and saw him walking towards them. “And he makes you smile. I can see how much he loves you. Don't ever let go of him, Ella...” Wallace said.

As Ella looked at Danson, there was something in him that seemed to change. He had this certain glow that made him stand out in the crowd. It was as if everything went slow mo with each step he makes. Somehow, she is seeing Danson in a different light. She looked up at Wallace, and smiled at him. “I won't.” she said. Wallace smiled back at her, and then gave her a hug. “Can I dance with my girl now?” Danson asked. Wallace smiled at him, and nodded his head. He handed Ella back to him. “Take care of my junior, buddy.” he said. Danson just smiled at him. “I sure will.” he said.

As another song played, the two danced once again. “So, how was it. Are the two of you OK now? Are you OK now?” he asked. Ella smiled and nodded her head. “We're OK now. I'm OK now.” she said. “Glad to hear that.” he said. Ella held on tight to Danson, and smiled at him. “Thank you for forcing me to come to this wedding.” she said. Danson let out a playful smile at him. “I knew you'd be thanking me in the end. And to think you wanted to kill me a while ago for forcing you to come.” he said. “I know you only cared for me, that's why. Thank you.” she said. Danson embraced her tight, and kissed her on her forehead. “You're welcome.”

--

Danson pulled over in front of Ella's house. As soon as the engine of his car stopped, Ella looked at him, and smiled. “Thanks for today.” she said. “You're welcome.” he answered, smiling at her. “Honestly, the reason why I brought you to Wallace's wedding and made you over is because I want him to realize what he had been missing. But I guess he is too in love with Penny to even notice your transformation.” he said. “You think I'm pretty today?” she asked. Danson nodded his head. “You're very pretty today. When you walked down the stairs, for one minute, you made me forget that I am gay.” he said. Then, both of them let out a laugh. “Can you forget that you're not gay for the rest of your life?” she thought. “Well, at least for one minute you became straight.” Ella said. “For just one minute.” he said.

Ella let out a sigh at him. “So, good night? I'll see you on Monday.” she said. Danson nodded his head. “I'll see you on Monday.” he said. As Ella was opening the door, Danson called her again. “Ella...” he said. Ella stopped, and looked at him. She saw him smiling at her. “Goodnight.” he said. Then, he moved towards her, and kissed her on the forehead. Ella was surprised at what he did. She stared at her for a long time, before realizing that she have to get out of his car. “G-goodnight.” she stuttered. Then, she immediately got out of his car and ran inside the house. When she closed the door behind her, she felt her heart beating fast. The image of him kissing her on her forehead made her heart beat fast. She clutched on her heart, and let out a smile.

Glam office was surprised by a visit of a very important guest the following week.

The doors opened, and a group of men and women in black came in. Tailing behind them is a woman clad in black dress, and a black hat. Everyone jumped to their seats, and greeted the woman. “Godd morning, Madam Tang.” they all said. She took off her sunglasses and looked around the office. “Where is Ella Chen?” she asked. Just then, Ella and Danson came back from the coffee shop, and Danson had this shocked look on his face upon seeing his mom. “M-mom?” he called. Lou ise looked at his son, and let out a smirk. “Hello, Dason.” she said. Then, she looked at Ella, and noticed that she was holding onto Danson's arms. “So... the rumors are true...” she commented. Then, she smiled sweetly at Ella. “I just hope that this is for real this time.” she added.

The two just looked at each other with confused look.

Me & My Gay Boss - Episode 5

Episode 5 – Good Friend



Ella fell on her chair.

Danson immediately stood up from his seat, and helped her up. “Are you OK?” he asked. Ella let out a sigh. “Are you kidding me?!” she shouted at him. “Me? Your girlfriend?!” she added. Danson gave her a pleading look. “Please... just say yes... I'll buy you coffee everyday...” he said. “Do I look like a coffee addict to you?” she snapped at him. She put her hand on her waist, and let out another sigh. “And what about my non-existent love life?” she asked. Danson gave her a confused look. “What about it? It's non-existent at all.” he said. Ella could only glare at her boss. “That's the point. It's non-existent. So, what if suddenly, it exists?” she said. Then she looked at the bouquet on her hand. “Just look. Someone just sent me flowers. What if this is the Mr. Right I've been waiting for all my life?” she asked. Now, it's Danson's turn to sigh. “Come on, Ella... please?” he pleaded again. She just folded her arms. “Besides, we don't know who that secret admirer yet. I promise you, once we found out who that is, we stop pretending to be together.” he said.

Ella looked at him for a long time. He was giving her puppy eyes, and she just could not refuse his offer. At least she's dating Taiwan's hottest bachelor, even if it's just a pretend one. “You promise to stop once we found who this secret admirer of mine is?” she asked. Danson smiled, and nodded his head. “I promise you, Jiro and I will even help you out to find out who he is.” he said. She let out a sigh, and nodded her head as an answer. With that, Danson's face lightened up. He literally jumped onto Ella, and hugged her tight. “Thanks, Ella... thank for being my girlfriend!” he said. After he said that, the door opened, and his secretary saw them in that position, as well as hearing the last thing he said. The two looked at her, and saw the shocked look on her face. “I... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to walk in on you like this...” she stuttered. “That's OK, Annie...” Danson said. His secretary closed the door again, and they could almost hear her crying.

“I could swear Annie have a huge crush on you.” Ella told him. Danson shrugged his shoulder. “Imagine her disappointment if she founds out that you're gay.” she said. “Same disappointment you experienced when I told you that?” he asked, smirking at her. Ella folded her arms, and smirked back at him. “Please. I am not that disappointed. As if I have a crush on you.” she said. He let out a chuckle at what he said. “Oh my God...” Ella said as she shook her head. “What?” Danson asked in a confused tone. “I think every girl in Taipei will kill me if they found out that I'm Danson Tang's girlfriend!”

--

“I'm so glad you agreed to what we asked...” Jiro said as he placed a plate of steak in front of Ella. It was evening, and the three were having dinner at Danson's pad. “How could I refuse? Your boyfriend offered to buy coffee everyday.” Ella told her. Jiro wrinkled his brows as he looked at her. “You don't look like a coffee addict to me.” he said. Ella burst out laughing. “That's exactly the same thing that I told him, but he wouldn't listen.” she said.

Just then, Danson came out of his room, and joined them at the table. “Don't listen to her, baby.” Danson said. He sat next to Jiro, and took his fork. “She only agreed if we help her to find out who her secret admirer is.” he said as he began to devour his dinner. Jiro was surprised at what Danson said, and when he turned to Ella, he have this wide grin on his face. “Secret admirer?” he asked. Ella nodded her head. “Someone sent me flowers at the office today.” she said. “Awww... that's so sweet. Which reminds me... it's been a long time since I gave flowers to my baby.” he said. Jiro looked at Danson, then he put his arms around him a kiss on the lips. “Aw, babe... you know that you don't have to give me flowers. I already know that you do love me.” Danson said sweetly.

Ella could only smile and shake her head at that scene. Somehow, she felt envious of the the two. “At least they got each other, unlike me...” she thought sadly. The two lovebirds looked at Ella, and smiled. “Looks like someone is jealous...” Jiro said, winking at her. Ella rolled her eyes at him. “Can you, for one second, remember that I am around, and stop being too sweet. It's making me envy.” she said. The two just laughed. “Don't worry, your prince charming will come soon, Ella. Just wait.” Danson said. Ella just sighed, and continued to eat her dinner.

--

A tall man walked inside the Glam's front desk. He let out a smile as Gui Gui looked up at him. “Hi, I'm looking for Ella Chen?” he said. “And you are...” Gui Gui asked. “I'm Wallace Huo, an old friend of hers.” he said. Gui Gui smiled at him. “Mr. Huo, please seat for a while. I'll check if Ella is around.” she said. Wallace nodded his head, and then took a seat at the couch.

Meanwhile, Ella is busy editing some pictures, when Gui Gui called her on her phone. “Ella, you have a visitor.” Gui Gui told her. Ella wrinkled her brows at what she said. “Visitor? Who?” she asked. “Someone named Wallace Huo...” Gui Gui said. Upon hearing his name, Ella's face lightened up. “Really? OK, I'll be right there.” she said. She put the phone down, and then rushed outside the office. As she opened the door, she saw Wallace sitting and waiting for her. She felt her heart beating fast as she caught a glimpse of his face.

It's been a long time since she last saw Wallace. The two were college friends, with him being her senior at the school's newspaper. She remembered having a huge crush on her senior during university days, and he was the only reason why she decided to join the newspaper as a photographer. When he graduated, he migrated to Singapore to work, and she never had a chance to actually tell him how she feels. As she opened the door, a smile was plastered on her face. “Xue Zhang?” she called. Wallace looked at her, and smiled. “Ella!” he said. He stood up, and Ella ran to him, giving him a hug. “Oh my God! It's been a long time since I last saw you!” she said. “I know. But you're as pretty just like before.” he said. Ella could only blush at what he said. “So... you're back for good?” she managed to say. Wallace nodded his head. “For good. Got a good business opportunity somewhere in Kaoshiung... but I'll be working from time to time here in Taipei. And since you told me you're working here, and I was around the place, I decided to pay you a visit.” Wallace said.

Ella could only smile happily at him. She never thought that after a long time, Wallace would remember her. “I'm... well... happy...” she said. “Me too. I'm so happy to see you again, Ella.” he said. Ella bit her lips as she looked away from him. “Anyway, I just dropped by to say hi. And to ask if you're free tonight?” Wallace said. Ella immediately nodded her head. “Of course. I'm free tonight.” she said. “Good. Then can I invite you for dinner?” he asked. Ella nodded her head. “So, should I pick you up here after work? Around 6?” he asked. Ella nodded her head again. “6 is fine with me.” she said. Wallace let out a boyish smile at her. “Great. I'll pick you up around that time, all right?” he said. “OK. Can't wait...” she said. “Me too. We've got a lot of catching up to do.” he said. He said goodbye to her, and as he leaves, Ella just watched him with a smile on her face. “Oh my... I guess this is the start of something new for us...” she thought giddily. As she giggled, Gui Gui gave her a wondering look. Ella stopped giggling, and composed herself before going back inside.

--

“Ella... Jiro wants us to go to the bar tonight.” Danson said as he walked towards her desk. He stopped when he noticed that Ella was putting on make up on her face. “What's with the make up? You never wear make up, especially if you're about to go home...” he said. Ella looked at him, and smiled. “I have a date.” she told him. Danson gave her a confused look. “Date?” he asked. Ella nodded her head. “Date with whom? Are you cheating on me?” he asked. “It's not cheating unless you tell everyone that I am your girlfriend. And besides, yo have Jiro... so let me go out on a date, and make my non-existent love life, existing. All right?” she said. As she was about to leave, Danson grabbed her hand. “Wait, wait... who is this guy? Are you so sure that he is the one?” he asked. Ella let out a smile at him. “I knew he is the one when I first met him. And that was like... 8 or 7 years ago.” she said. He folded his arms, as he gave her a stern look. “Who is this guy?” he asked. She answered her with a smile. “You'll meet him someday, Danson. But for now, I'm off to my date.” she said.

She turned her back, and left. Danson kept on calling her, but she just waved her hand as she hopped her way out of the office. “Ella Chen! Come back here! We have an agreement, remember?” he shouted at her. But she did not hear him. As the door in front of him closes, Danson could only let out a sigh. “I have to know who her date is...” he said to himself. He took his mobile phone from his pocket, and dialed Jiro's number. “Hello, baby? Yeah, it's me. Let's ditch our plan to go to the bar tonight. We are going to stalk someone....”

--

Ella shyly looked up at Wallace, and secretly watched him as he tells the waiter their orders. It's been 5 years since they last saw each other, and he have not changed a bit. He's still the same senior that she have been crushing on since university days. He was still the same gentleman and sweet guy she met before. She lowered her head when Wallace looked her way. She could swear there was a smile of amusement on his face as he looked at her. “You're still the same shy Ella as before.” he commented. “And you're still the same charming Wallace that I've met before.” she commented. Wallace just laughed at her, and as he smiled at her, she could feel her cheeks turning red. She wanted to hide under the table, because she know that the redness on her face is giving way to her feelings for her.

“By the way, did you receive the flowers I sent yesterday?” he asked. Ella's eyes widened upon hearing what she said. “Y-you sent those flowers?” she asked. He nodded his head. “I know you love flowers, so I sent them.” he said. Ella smiled at him, and nodded her head. “I did. Thanks for the flowers, Wallace.” she said. He just smiled and nodded his head. “So, how's work? Still enjoying it?” Wallace asked. Ella nodded her head. “I've never enjoyed it more than anything in this world.” she answered. Wallace nodded his head. “I know. Photography has always been your passion, right?” he asked. Ella nodded her head again. “How about you, why did you suddenly gave up your post as news manager in Singapore, and went back home?” she asked. “Well, I needed to fix things. You know that my family have a business in Kaoshiung, right?” he said. Ella nodded her head. “My father has been sickly lately, so I had to go back to take over, and at the same time to look after my dad.” he explained. “I see, that's great then...” she said. Wallace nodded his head. He leaned over the table. He looked at her in her eyes, and then smiled sweetly at her. “At least I get to see more of you, right?” he said. Ella slowly nodded her head. Good thing that the waiter came back with their order. The more that Wallace is looking at her, the more that she feels that she is melting.

Meanwhile, at the other side of the restaurant, Jiro and Danson were sitting and hiding behind the menu as they were eying on Ella and her date. “Why are we doing this again, baby?” Jiro asked. “Because I want to know who Ella's date is.” Danson said, never taking his eyes off Wallace. “Why do you want to know who her date is?” Jiro asked in a confused tone. “Because if the two of them got together, she'll forget our agreement.” he answered. Jiro let out a chuckle, and shook his head. “Why are you being paranoid, baby? It's just a date. As if they will get married tomorrow.” he said. Danson glared at her boyfriend, and he stopped laughing. Then, he turned his eyes at Ella, who was already laughing at something that Wallace said. “Look at her, babe. Just look at her! She's so giddy. Geez, it's like she have a huge crush on this guy...” he said. Jiro raised an eyebrow at him after hearing what he said. “Are you jealous, baby?” he asked. Danson put the menu down, and glared at him. “Certainly not! Why would I be jealous?! I have no right to be jealous, she's not even my girlfriend yet!” he said. “Then stop acting like a jealous boyfriend, all right. Let Ella be. Now, can order, and stop staling on our friend?” Jiro said. Danson nodded her head. “Go ahead and order. I'm going to say hi to her and her little friend.” Danson said. He stood up from his seat. He fixed his tie first, before disturbing Ella and her date. Jiro could only sigh as he watched his lover walk towards Ella's table.

“Yes, I still remember that time. The look on your face was priceless! Good thing I took pictures of you that time.” Ella said in between laughs. Wallace laughed with her, and lowered his head in embarrassment. “Oh my... one day I'd like to see that picture.” he said. “Sure... why don't you stop by our apartment sometimes?” Ella said. Wallace looked up at her, and nodded her head. “Good idea. You're still living with Ariel?” Wallace asked. Ella nodded her head. “And George and Mikey. Ariel and Mikey are kinda living in together now.” she said. Wallace just nodded her head. “Why don't I stop by tonight?” he asked. Ella let out a smile. “Sure. I know Ariel, Mike and George would be happy to see that senior Wallace Huo is back.” she said.

“Hey, Ella...”

Ella froze in her seat upon hearing that familiar voice. She slowly turned around, and saw Danson behind her. “Danson?” she asked. “Fancy meeting you here...” he said. He leaned down to her, and gave her a kiss on the cheek. As he put his arm around her neck, he glared at Wallace. “So, who's the date?” he asked. She let out an annoyed sigh. “Don't you have a date or something?” she asked. “Why? Can't I greet you now?” he asked. She let out another sigh. “Danson...” she started. Then, she pointed at Wallace. “This is Wallace Huo, my senior. Wallace, this is Danson Tang. My boss.” she said. Wallace smiled at Danson, and extended his hand to him. “Nice meeting you, Danson.” he said. Danson smiled at him, and took his hand. “Nice meeting you too, Wallace. I wonder why Ella haven't mentioned you to me?” he said as he smirked at him. Wallace could only give him a confused look. “Ah... xue zhang... can you excuse me and my boss for a while?” she said. He nodded her head. “Sure. Take your time.” he said. Annoyed, she grabbed Danson's wrist, and pulled him at the lobby of the restaurant to talk.

“What was that all about?!” she hissed at him. “What? I'm just saying hi.” he answered nonchalantly. “Well, you just said hi. And did you really have to kiss me on the cheek?”
“What's wrong if I do?”
“You don't do that!”
“Well, I'm doing it now.”
“Did it ever occur to you that Wallace might think that you are more to me than a boss?”
Danson folded his arms. “So?” he asked. “So?! So?! Danson! Do you have an idea how long I've waited for him to come back into my life? I am in love with the guy!” she said, trying her best not to raise her voice. “Well, it's so obvious. With the way you giggle and with the way you blush. God, he's so dense not to notice how you feels towards him...” he said. Ella let out a sigh, and shook her head. “Danson, can you please get out of my way for a while? I've waited my whole life for a time alone with him... so please... can you do this favor for me?” she said wearily. Danson fell silent, and stared at her for a long time. “Please, Danson? Can you do it for me?” she asked. “Does he also feel the same way for you?” he finally asked. Ella shrugged her shoulders. “All I know is that he's happy to be back home. He wants to see more of me. And he... he sent me those flowers...” she said.

Danson just looked at her. “But it doesn't mean that he also have the same feelings as you, Ella. I can't watch you risk your heart for him.” He put his hands on her shoulder, and gazed into her eyes. “Look, I'm not doing this because we have an agreement. You are not just my employee, you're also my friend. If he can't love you the way that you do, then God forgive, I might do something to that guy if he breaks your heart. I care for you, Ella... I really do. And from what I'm seeing with him... the feeling is not mutual, Ella. I see that he is only seeing you as a friend, nonetheless.” he said. Ella was silent as he speaks. She just looked at him as she listened to every word he says. “I wouldn't know if he feels the same way for me or not if I won't take the risk, right?” she asked. “I know that. But as your friend, it's my duty to protect you from something or someone that will hurt you. Even from that somehow harmless guy...” he said.

Ella let out another sigh. “And if I kissed you a while ago, it's my way of testing him if he also feels the same for you. But I have some bad news, Ella... I don't see a hint of jealousy in his face when I kissed you. And you know what that means...” he continued. Ella put his hands away from her. “It's all up to me, Danson. If I get my heart broken, it will all be my fault... because I've kept all my hopes high. Just let me do this, all right?” she said. Danson sighed, and then nodded her head. “All right. Go ahead... be with him. I won't stop you. Forget about the agreement and be with him. But if he breaks your heart... you know where to reach me.” he said. Ella smiled, and nodded her head. “Thanks, Danson...” she said. Then, Danson turned her around, and pushed her inside the restaurant. “Go back to him, he must be waiting.” he said. He pushed her hard, and just watched as Ella went back to Wallace with a smile on her face.

“So... what happened? Seems like Ella is in love with the guy, huh?” Danson heard Jiro said. Danson looked at him, and nodded her head. “I told her the agreement is off for now.” she said. Jiro folded his arms, and watched Ella and Wallace together. “But knowing Ella, I know she will still help us in evey way she could. We're so lucky to have a friend like her.” Jiro said. Danson nodded his head in agreement. “Yeah...” he said. He eyed at Wallace, and let out a faint smile. “We are so lucky...”

--

A few days later...

Ella sat at the cafe, and after a few minutes of waiting, Jiro finally came. “Ella!” he called. Ella smiled at him. She stood up from her seat, and then gave him a bear hug. “I miss you, girl!” Jiro said. “I miss you too.” she said. “It's because you've been spending way too much time with that boyfriend of yours.” Jiro said as he took his seat. “Wallace is not yet my boyfriend, all right?” she said. Jiro just laughed at her. “Then, why does Danson always complain to me that you're always talking about Wallace nonstop. I could swear you're giving your boss a headache.” Jiro said. Ella just laughed at him. “Well, he could always put on earplugs when I start talking about Wallace.” she said. Jiro looked at her, and smiled. “I'm glad to see you this happy, Ella...” he said. Ella just laughed at him.

“By the way, can I ask you a big favor, Ella?” Jiro asked. Ella nodded her head. “I'll be in Netherlands for a couple of weeks. Can you do me a favor, and keep an eyes on him? Make sure to keep him away from those flirty girls, all right?” he said. “Don't worry about. I'll keep him away from the girls by telling them I'm his girlfriend.” she said. “And what if Wallace founds out that you are telling those girls that you are Danson's girlfriend? He might get jealous...” Jiro said. “I'll explain to him that my boss wants to get rid of those girls. I know he'll understand that.” she said.

After an hour of talking, the two left the coffee shop. On their way out, they saw Wallace walking out of the jewelry store right in front of the shop. “Hey, isn't that Wallace?” Jiro said. Ella looked up, and saw him walking to his car. “Yeah...” she said. “I'm wondering what he's doing in that jewelry shop...” Jiro said. Ella shrugged her shoulder. “Well, whatever it is, nice choice. Did you know that they make the best engagement rings in town?” he said. With that, Ella looked up at him with a giddy look on her face. “Engagement ring?” she asked. Jiro nodded his head.

--

“So, you think he will propose to me tonight?” Ella asked as she rested her head on her palm. Danson, who was busy signing some documents, stopped, and looked at her. “You guys have been only dating for more than a week, and you're thinking that he's gonna ask you to marry him. Are you insane?” he asked in an annoyed tone. “But Jiro told me that that shop makes the best engagement rings. Maybe he bought a ring for me!” she said. Danson turned his eyes on the documents on his hand. “What did I tell you before. Don't keep your hopes all high. If you do, you will just get hurt. Don't expect too much from him.” Danson said. Ella smiled at him. “I just know he will propose to me tonight. Oh my God, I can't wait to see him tonight!” she said.

Just then, her phone rang. “That's your lover boy.” Danson said in an annoyed tone. Ella ignored his remark, and answered the phone. “Hello?” she said. It was Wallace on the other line. “Oh, hi Ella. Don't forget, I'll pick you up tonight. I have something important to tell you.” Wallace said. Ella smiled to herself. “OK. I'll wait for you then.” she said. Then, she ended the call and turned to Danson. “Danson! He said he'll pick me up tonight! He said he's going to tell me something important!” she said excitedly. Danson just looked at her. “Why am I not surprised?” he said. Ella sighed, and folded her arms. “Can you be happy for me just this once? Maybe he will propose to me tonight. Be happy for me!” she said. “I can't. Sorry. But I can pretend that I'm happy for you.” he said. She pouted at him. “Kill joy! Just because Jiro will be gone for a long time, you're acting like that!” she said. Then, she stomped her way out of the office.

If only Ella knew that the reason why Danson is acting that way is because he have this feeling that tonight will be a sad night for Ella...

--

Ella and Wallace strolled at the park after they had dinner at their favorite restaurant. The whole time, Wallace have been quiet, and Ella was waiting for him to tell her something. “Why are you so quiet, Wallace?” she asked. He looked at her, and smiled. “Well, I've been thinking of how to say this to you...” he said. He stopped walking, and then turned to face her. She felt her face beating fast as he gazed into her eyes.

“Ella, we've been friends for a long time, right?” he asked. She nodded her head. “You were always there during the most important occasions in my life...” he said. “I know that.” she said, smiling at him. Then, he took her hands, and smiled at her. “Ella, today is the happiest day of my life, and I want you to be a part of it...” he said. Somehow, she had a feeling that he will be telling him a different thing. It might have something to do with the business he is handling, and not about her. “Why? What happened? Did you just close that business deal of yours?” she asked. He smiled, and shook his head. “Something more, Ella... and I want you to be the first person to know.” he said. He took a deep breath before speaking again. “You still remember Penny Lin, right?” he asked. Ella nodded her head. “She was an ex of yours back in college... right?” she said. Wallace nodded his head. “I bumped into her to Singapore a few months before. We kept in contact ever since... and we both found out that we're still in love with each other. Ella... today, I asked her to marry me.” he said excitedly.

Ella tried to maintain the smile on her face even though her heart is already breaking. “And she said yes. We're getting married in three month's time!” he said. And those words pulled a string to break her heart into a million pieces. She felt so numb, like someone put her over a container filled with eyes. She didn't noticed that Wallace was already hugging her. “I'm so happy Ella! I just want to share my happiness with you. Isn't this great?” he said. Ella just nodded her head. She felt a tear from her eye fall as she nodded her head. “Yes...” she said. “It's great. I... I'm so happy for you, xue zhang...”

--

She chose to walk home that night, excusing herself from Wallace and telling him that a friend is inviting her to a bar. If she could, she would drink herself to death. She was contemplating on doing that, but then she thought of Danson. “If he breaks your heart... you know where to reach me.” she remembered him telling her that. Despite that her mind was clouded and she couldn't think straight, her feet found its way to Danson's pad.

Danson, who was busily watching some chick flicks, was interrupted by a loud knock on the door. “Coming!” he shouted. He ran up to the door, and when he opened it, he saw Ella standing. “Ella?” he called. He saw her bit her lips as she looked up at him. Her eyes where already flooded with tears, and he could tell thart she was trying her best to control those tears.“Danson...” she said sadly. Then, she hugged him tight, and began to cry.

The only thing he could do is hug her back and console her.
