"Aiyaaa.." Wei Zhan suddenly interrupted the serious storytelling of his nephew and his Nanny.
Pouting, Wei Zhan went to the two who are in the kitchen table, as the nanny is busy feeding his 4-year-old nephew.
"Aiyaaa. Nana what nonsense are you telling to my nephew,hmm?" he said smiling as he picked up Gelo on his high chair and peppers him with kisses. "Where is your mama, Gelo?"
"Zhan!" the toddler giggles as his uncle peppers him with kisses. "Mommy is upstairs".
"Did you already eat?" Gelo's nanny interrupted their sweet moments.
Smiling he faced the nanny "Yep!. is my sister okay nana?"
"She is. Mr. Lee just arrived from abroad, they're in their room"
"Ohh" as he diverts his eyes on his nephew. "So your dad is here already, you should share your chocolates with me, ah k?"
Gelo nods and Zhan smooch his face again before putting the toddler back to his seat.
Wei Zhan nods to nanny; indicating her he's going out.
"Where are you going?" the nanny dumbfoundedly asks.
Zhan halted and turned his heels. "Eh?, going home?"
"Already?"
"I want to talk to my sister, but she's busy, I might give her a call tomorrow instead"
The nanny nods in an agreement. "Alright Zhan, I will tell your sister you came. Be careful going home"
Zhan waves his hands as he heads to the door. "Thanks, Nana and halts again, "by the way, I like your fantasy story" and smirks.
Surprised, the nanny replied, "how much did you hear?"
Zhan paused, as if in deep thinking. "Hmm the birth of Lan Wang-li? When the King announced his name? I'm not sure" and laughs. "Nana, I bet you're watching fantasy drama too much!, but I kinda enjoy your story."
The nanny solemnly smiles "maybe"
"Gotta go! Bye Gelo! Bye nana!"
"B'bye Zhan" the two said in unison.
Wei Zhan is the middle child of the Wei family. His only sister Wei Lu is already married to his highschool sweetheart Roger Lee; the youngest Wei Zhuocheng is living with him in his inherited house located in the heart of the city. Basically, they're not flesh- and- blood- siblings, they were cousins. Wei Zhan's dad is Wei Lu and Zuocheng's younger brother but when the unfortunate event happened when Wei Zhan was 5 years old, his parents went missing and sad to say they still are up to this day. Wei Zhan had a vague memory of his parents, thanks to the photo albums Uncle Wei Jianmin gave him. Somehow he has the slightest idea of his parents' faces and the places they've been to.
It was past 8 in the evening when Wei Zhan arrived at his house. His brother Zuocheng was still in the living room watching his favorite teledrama every night with a handful of chips on the side. When the younger saw him he shifted his seating posture and automatically changed his aura.
He glares and asks him questions like his droppin' some rap as he does it speedily. "It's late already, where have you been? Did you eat already? Did you meet someone over dinner?! Ya! Wei Zhan, you're so full of secrets now huh!"
"You really is Auntie's son!" Rolling his eyes. He adds, "I went to jiejie's place, but the peacock is home"
"You didn't even tag me along!" his brother snorted
Their bickering stopped when a report stream on the tv screen.
Zhuocheng broke the ice, "Whoa Rare Super Blue Blood Moon Eclipse this month and everyone is so hyped about it, this news is everywhere!"
Zhan speaks with a hint of teasing "it is because it's rare, fool!"
"Y-you!"
"Congratulations in advance Zhan! I know you'll get the managerial position! Among all the candidates you surely are the most deserving", his friend Yu Bin from the Marketing department says as the two casually having their break time. The said position will be posted on the company's organization social media app at any moment. Zhan though part of him is sure to bag the position he is still felt nervous all over. Working in "The Creative Lab" for almost six years in the designing team he is very sure that he is competent and capable enough to be the new manager. But last week's happenings are still clasping on his mind.
Zhan entered the spacious office of the company's VP of Operations. There, Ms. Yang Mi smiling at him. He assumes that the VP is waiting for him as she was already settled in the guest lounge of her office. He honestly not comfortable with Ms. Yang as he can sense that she is into him. Thus, he always acts and talks to her formally he'd like to convey that he is not interested in her.
"Mr. Wei, have a seat. What do you want for refreshment?", she offers
Settling in the couch across her, he simply shook his head "I'm fine with none Ms. Yang" and smiles
Ms. Yang pouts and exaggerates as she puts her hands on his heart. "Don't smile like that, my heart can't take it that much!"
Disbelief on what he heard, Zhan tried to ignore her flirtings. The woman crossed her legs and intentionally shows the red garment underneath her skirt. His face scarlet on what he's not supposed to see, however, he still tried to hide the embarrassment.
Ms. Yang smirks "like what you see?"
He cringes. Because he absolutely not!.
"So, Ms. Yang why did you call me?" he diverts the topic before losing his shit
Ms. Yang fake a gasp, "I thought I was obvious? Or you are playing dumb?
She stands up and sits beside him
"I like you Zhan, I know you know it!" she finally confesses "I'll help you secure the position if you'll let me" and snaking her hands in the middle of Zhan's thighs.
He quickly holds her wrist just before it landed to his groin
Flabbergasted with her boldness his mind shortcircuited "I-I'm sorry Ms. Yang, I'm not into girls!" of course it's a lie, he's a straight man.
"Y-you what?", astound she asks "did I hear it wrong?"
He was also surprised, of all reasons why "not into girls first came in his mind", however, he must stand on it.
"You hear it right Ms. Yang"
She immediately withdraws her hand and stands
"You're disgusting! Get out NOW!", She was fuming with anger and thus, he exited.
Wei Zhan!
Startled and was back into his senses "Bin?"
"WTF? Been babbling here for like 20 minutes and turns out your not listening?"
He apologizes.
Yu Bin continues, "I didn't tell you to say sorry. I said check the post, It's already out", the last words were sounded sadly.
Indeed! What he had just read and seen are disappointing. Somehow, part of him kinda expected it. He already concluded that this was Ms. Yang's doings.
He hurriedly went out of the building and left Yu Bin hanging.
