Tick tock, tick tock....the sound of the clock was like a bomb to Emil. He couldn't wait to go home but, "what should he say to Yvonne when he gets home?"
Hello...,hi...,hey...?
Ass. Luke entered the office to find Emil in a trance. He looked at his boss and realised something was up.
So,he traced Emil's eyesight but like always,he was staring into nothing.
Ass. Luke wasn't surprise but "what's this look?"
Pain,longing and loneliness were the only emotions Emil had always portrayed.
But, "Why's there a change today?" Ass. Luke wondered.
He couldn't place a finger on his boss's emotional state today !
This made the assistant frustrated.
Emil felt a shadow drawing closer and closer to him, and thus his thoughts were disturbed. He grudgingly frowned at the perpetrator.
( Why's boss staring at me as if I've snatch his woman, and he wants to kill me"
Kill?,oh my , did I offend any of my ancestors?, why didn't they warn me!) Ass. Luke cried inside
(But,why's boss so full of emotions?, Is he probably the manager of emotions? Indeed, there's no one befitting to be the manager other than him!)
"Is it time to cloak off work?" Emil inquired
(Boss,why are you asking? you've never cared about the time to cloak off work. You're such a workaholic that, am destined to remain single for the rest of my life. OKAY!)
But of course, ass. Luke wouldn't say that out out loud. He cared for his life!
"Yes sir" he meekly replied
"Alright then,let's go home" Emil said and strode to the door. He paused when he notice his Assistant still standing there.
He frowned and he impatiently asked; "What are you standing there for?,Do you plan to overwork?"
"Bo...boss, do you have a fever"?
" You're the one who has fever !" Emil said annoyingly
(What's this guy's problem?,Does he plan to keep me here so i could keep looking at his ugly face !.) Emil thought
If Ass. Luke knew Emil called him ugly, he would hit his head to the wall.
On the other side in the Tang mansion, dinner was being served neatly on the dinning table.
Yvonne,who sat lazily on the side couldn't help but listen to two maids murmuring ;
"Why's master coming home early today ?" one asked
"Am I his shadow to know his every move?" the other retorted
"Do you think he's feeling unwell?"
"Am just a lowly maid,why don't you ask the head maid? she may know".
" Would I ask you if she knows?"
"..." (Is this girl serious?)
Yvonne shock her head and smiled (the power of gossip) she marvelled
Minutes later,the sound of a car was heard . All the servants hurried to form two straight lines with the head maid in front.
Yvonne was confused as to what she should do.
"Was it really necessary to welcome Mr. Puppy like this?" She said rhetorically
But the truth is,she was also afraid.
"What if he gets angry and fire her because she didn't follow the " ritual"?
Pondering over this,she forced her legs to join the cue.
Emil who stood at the door didn't miss any of her reactions. His dark eyes deepened.
"Why did those stupid servants had to line up just to welcome him !"
But,he had totally forgotten that,that's how it had been ever since.
He strode in large steps angrily without responding to their greetings. He paused on the stairs and shot his assistant a look.
Ass. Luke having worked for Emil for many years knew almost his every look.
He then turned to the servants and said; "Today should be the last day you line up to welcome the CEO."
"What's the assistant trying to say?"
"If not line up,how should we welcome master?"
"Did we do something wrong by welcoming master?"
There was murmuring and confusion among the servants.
"What's Mr. Puppy's problem now?,he's so childish but so very cute!"
While Yvonne was staring at the direction Emil went to,ass. Luke was also staring at her.
"She looked quite familiar, could she probably be....?"
"Why are you still here, aren't you leaving ?" Emil inquired annoyingly
(why was he staring at His Yvonne?)
Assistant Luke was frustrated. (Why did boss not tell him that he has found her (Yvonne)? Anyways, why is he angry at a self centered person!".
With one last look at Yvonne, ass. Luke strode out in large quick steps.
When the servants saw Emil descending the stairs, they quickly dispersed.
Yvonne didn't know what she should do,so she also followed suit.
"Wait!" Emil commanded making Yvonne halt her steps.
"why's he commanding her?, he didn't mean to sound so commanding with her!".
" What's this guy's problem now?" Yvonne looked suspiciously at Emil
"Come eat with me"
"..."
