"Ahhhh what is that noise.... fuck these stupid neighbors never stop playing that horrible music.....ahhhhhhhhhhh. What time is it anyway?. Fuck it's 7:30 a.m... He's gonna kill me. I'm gonna get fired on my first day. Why didn't the stupid alarm go off.
Where are my clothes? There isn't any time for bathing, I'll just brush my teeth. Nw weya is ma deodrant and my scented wipes. Where is my stupid phone?..... Fuck 30 missed calls and from an unknown number, I'll care about this later lemme just get a cab and go to work.

"Where is my personal assistant? He is 2hrs late. I told him to get here by 6:30 . It's 8:00. If he isn't here in the next five minutes. he's fired", yelled Gang Zhi. Honestly he wasn't angry because his assistant was late. He was angry because he thought he scared the little guy away yesterday. He wanted to see him again for uncertain reasons. He wanted to stare at that enticing mole and get lost in his big blue eyes. "What if he doesn't show up?... what if I scared him off? ..... Fuck I always do this." Gang Zhi thought to himself. He was nervously pacing around the room when he heard his office door close. " I'm so sorry Sir but there was a lot of traffic today. I assure you that this won't happen again" said Hao Tieng with an innocent look. Gang Zhi walked over to him with only 2inches between them. He wanted to be close to him maybe hug him but he couldn't. Hao Tieng was still a stranger to him. " I knew there would be a lot of traffic, that's why all employees get here before 7:00a.m. Just like you would have if you had listened to me carefully. I kept on calling you but you didn't pick up, which clearly means that you were either sleeping or just didn't want to answer the phone". Hao Tieng knew if he told the truth he would be reprimanded or fired so he came up with a clever excuse.
"With all do respect Sir, I don't answer phone calls from unknown numbers. If I had known it was my Boss calling I would have picked up on the first ring. Pardon my ignorance Sir. I'll go save your contact right now. If you'd please excuse me , I'll go to my desk."
"Wait, that won't be necessary. That's the company's hotline number. Here's my personal number. I'll contact you from this and I don't expect you to be late again or else your fired." said Gang Zhi while giving Hao Tieng his number .
"Woahhhhhh for a second there I thought I was gonna get fired. But that's weird, if he really fired people for unusual reasons then why didn't he fire me. Maybe the rumors are wrong. maybe he's a nice guy" Hao Tieng thought to himself.
The first 5 hours of the job were hectic, answering calls every minute, filing papers, re-scheduling Gang Zhi's appointments, making sure everything was ready for the meeting and he hadn't eaten yet . He was hungry as fuck. He kept on staring at his watch waiting for his lunch break but it seemed like time was moving slower than a turtle. If he kept on working he was going to look like a middle aged man at the end of the day. As he was still waiting for someone to announce that it was time for lunch when
he was shadowed by what he thought was a goddess in her human form. She was immensely beautiful. She was tall, had Jlo curves, long silky black hair, beautiful hazel eyes with a hint of gold and the most attractive lips he had ever seen. " May I help you with anything, Miss. " " Well, looks like everyone is right. The new guy is really cute. Nice to meet you am Yung Jen, The Executive manager and your first friend in this company. Between me and you. If you want to survive in this company, you need atleast someone who knows Gang Zhi as well as I do. " Hao Tieng didn't utter a word for abt 2 minutes thinking what a beauty like her really wanted from him and who Gang Zhi was. " Who is Gang Zhi?" he Finally asked. "Really... your his personal assistant and you still don't know his name. Then which name did you save on his number? " How do you know I have his number?"
" Am I really that invisible? I was in his office when you came in. I think he has a soft spot for you. if it was anybody else , they would've already left the company. "
"If I may ask, You mentioned earlier that you knew him well, what's your relationship with him?" Hao Tieng wasn't being nosy.he just wanted to know if she was single, maybe he could actually have a chance. " You don't have to be formal with me. Relax we're friends now and how about I answer your question over lunch. It's time for your lunch break. Come on let's go." Hao Tieng had nothing better to do plus he was really hungry so he just agreed to go with her.
**********************
"Ohhhhh this burger is amazing. The cafeteria here is so much better than my previous job's" exclaimed Hao Tieng as he devoured his meal. Yung Jen couldn't bare how he cute he was and giggled a little. " Ohh yeah you haven't answered my question yet"
" I thought you had already forgotten about that. He's my brother. " Seems like everyone in the family is gorgeous. Lunch went on as it should. The new friends talked about life, highschool and laughed so hard . Little did they know that Gang Zhi was watching them with a murderous look on his face that could kill anybody that looked at him. The question was, was he angry because he wanted to protect his sister or that his sister was busy enjoying herself with Hao Tieng..
