"I love you Hao Tieng"
" I love you too Gang Zhi"
"Can I kiss you? "
" Wait, what's that noise?"
" Which noise?"
" It won't stop ringing....ahhhhhhhh"
" Stupid alarm clock!!!"
Hao Tieng woke up like a possessed person. His butt was outside, his hair was messed up, he had dark circles under his eyes and the worst morning breath. " Which kind of dream was that?... How can I have such an embarrassing dream like that? He's my boss . MY FUCKING BOSS!!!!!!. Hao Tieng, you better get your shit together. He brings you home and you dream about kissing him. Am I gay?... Of course not... I was in a relationship with Shao Mei for 3yrs I can't be gay.. That's just a stupid dream. I shouldn't stress myself . Lemme just get ready for work.
************
"Hey, Wake up you can't sleep on the job . You've missed four calls already." Yung Jen informed Hao Tieng
"Just let me sleep, am so tired"
" And what made you so tired yesterday that you can't stay awake at work?"
" Your brother".
"My brother? We're you guys together last night?".
" Yes, he asked me for my opinion about some designs and we stayed in till late."
"That's weird, Gang Zhi never asks for anyone's opinion when it comes to work, He always thinks he knows best, He's very arrogant. He really asked for your opinion?".
" Yap".
" I thought I had seen everything till now, maybe he likes you" When Hao Tieng heard those words, he choked on his saliva. "Impossible, he can't be. He was just nice to me but as his employee not anything else".
" That's the fact. Gang Zhi has never been nice to his employees, why do you think his previous assistant quit. He treats them as trash that don't fit his social level. Your the first employee that he has been nice to. I'm sure he likes you. What happened after you left the office?" Yung Jen asked contiously.
" He took me home" This time it was Yung Jen that almost choked. Her brother being nice to anybody was a shock. He wasn't even nice to his own family and here he was acting like a normal person with his personal assistant. Something was fishy.
"Really!!! He took you home. My brother, Gang Zhi, took you home in his Lamborghini. I can't believe this. Something is definitely going on with him and am gonna find out.".
"Is it really a shock that your brother was kind enough to take me home?" Hao Tieng asked . Was he the first employee or person that Gang Zhi was nice to or was his sister just exaggerating.
"Uhmmmm , Yes... He's arrogant and antisocial and your the first person he has been nice since our parents died."
" Ohhh I'm sorry. I didn't know your parents were deceased"
" Don't worry about it . It's been 15 years since then."
" How did they die?"
"It was a car accident. Gang Zhi had run away from home 2 days before everyone in the family was worried. Then they got a phone call from one of his friends saying that they found him near a wonton stand. So my parents went looking for him and they found him but on their way back . They we're hit by a truck . Gang Zhi is the only one that survived. After the accident he blamed himself for their death. So he became antisocial, arrogant, distant from all his family members and decided to sell his soul to the family business."
" Why did he run away in the first place?"
" I don't know. You should ask him yourself , only he knows the answer to that question."
" Because I thought I didn't belong in the family" Gang Zhi, who had been standing there the entire time, answered the question. Hao Tieng and Yung Jen looked at him, feeling nervous and embarrassed at the same time. " If you wanted to know anything about me , you should have asked me yourself. You didn't need to go through my sister."
" He didn't want to know anything about you. We we're just talking and the topic just came up . it's not a big deal."
Gang Zhi looked at Yung Jen for about a minute then changed his gaze to Hao Tieng, who didn't know how to explain himself for his curiosity.
" I'm sorry Sir if we offended you by bringing back such hurtful memories. If I knew you we're listening then I wouldn't have asked in the first place." Gang Zhi walked closer to Hao Tieng, close enough to breathe in his scent.
" You don't have to apologise for being curious. Plus I know it's Yung Jen who brought up the topic in the first place."
"For how long we're you standing there, exactly?" Yung Jen asked wondering if he had heard everything. Gang Zhi first looked at the expression on her face and then answered,
" Long enough". They we're still talking when the phone rung,
"Hello, Chen Top Designs, who am I speaking to" Hao Tieng asked while the two siblings gave each other death looks.
" Mr Tieng, you have a visitor."
" Who is it?"
" She said her name is Shao Mei, that you'd be happy to see her. So I let her through."..... " Why the fuck would you let her in, without asking me first?"
" We tried informing you but you didn't answer the call."
"Ahhhhhh fuck it's fine. It's my fault." and with those words he hung up.
" What's wrong?" Yung Jen asked.
" I have a big problem.".
"Why, What happened?" Gang Zhi asked.
" My ex is here to see me."
" Hao Tieng, am sorry. Things shouldn't have ended the way they did," the shameless little bitch, Shao Mei said while hugging Hao Tieng lightly. This bitch was truly shameless. After breaking the guy's heart over the phone, she had the nerve to show up at his work place. Gang Zhi was quiet but when Shao Mei hugged Hao Tieng he couldn't bare, banging the desk , converting all the attention to him.
He was angry, jealous and scared. What if Hao Tieng got back with his ex? He would be disappointed in himself for not telling Hao Tieng about his feelings or he could just kill Shao Mei and dump him in a river or something like that.
