Hao Tieng was pacing around the room trying to come with an idea when it finally hit him "Anhaa" he spoke abruptly while walking towards Gang Zhi's desk supposedly looking for something. Gang Zhi and Yung Jen were staring out the window when they heard Hao Tieng's gesture, immediately switching their attention to him.
"What are you looking for?" Gang Zhi asked as he saw Hao Tieng fidgeting with the locker under his desk. "For a pen." Hao Tieng answered still trying to open the stupid locker.
"Why are you looking for it down there then?"
"Where else am I supposed to look?" Hao Tieng asked.
" There is literally a pen right next to you" Gang Zhi answered while pointing at the pencil holder that had about 5pens in it.
Hao Tieng saw where Gang Zhi was pointing and felt a little uneasy. How could he not have the pens? He picked one up, started hitting it against his palm and paced around the room some more.
The silence was driving Yung Jen crazy. She wanted to catch Hao Tieng, throw him in the couch and beat some answers out of him ."Are you gonna tell us what your thinking about or are you gonna continue pacing around the room like a maniac?" Yung Jen burst out furiously.
"There's no need to be so angry. I was still thinking. You don't rush great plans." Hao Tieng said while taking a sit on one of the swivel chairs in the office.
" Then just say it already. I'm already losing my patience here." Yung Jen said.
"Well, I think we should let her be th....." Hao Tieng said before he was rudely cut off. Gang Zhi was sure he was going to have a nervous breakdown when he heard Hao Tieng's words. Had this man gone crazy?
"Are you serious? There's a person who wants to destroy my company and you want us to let her be. Have you lost your mind?" Gang Zhi angrily exclaimed. " You didn't hear the whole plan and your literally calling me crazy. I was still talking but it seems like you just like interrupting people. Do you think I would let that bitch destroy my work place?" Hao Tieng fired back at him.
Gang Zhi looked like a young kid getting yelled at by his mother. He just sat there and looked at the young man yelling at him. He started staring at Hao Tieng's lips as he yelled at him, then he looked at his beautiful eyes that we're filled with anger. He wondered how a man could be so perfect while he stared at Hao Tieng's mole. "ey,Hey . Earth to Gang Zhi. Are you there?" his sister called out to him. "U-umm What's wrong?" Gang Zhi asked finally coming back to reality. " You spaced out." Yung Jen told him.
"I was thinking about something. Hao Tieng, you can continue with the plan." Gang Zhi said .
"As I was saying before I was rudely cut off." Hao Tieng said giving a deadly look towards Gang Zhi. "I think we should let her be. Let her think that we don't know her true motive. Cause if she failed getting any answers from me, then she's going to manipulate someone in the company. We have to know who would betray the company and also who she works for. Although I think I might have a hint on that."
"Who do you think she's working for?" Yung Jen asked.
"I don't know specifically but I think it's her boyfriend. The dude she dumped me for."
" What makes you think that?" Gang Zhi asked.
"Well.... The dude called every interior design company, making sure nobody would hire me all because of his new girlfriend Shao Mei. So if my suspicions are real. I think Shao Mei is simply returning the favor by getting the company's designs and running back to her little boy toy. The only question here is who is he? Which company is your greatest competition?
"Hmmmm, that would be 'Lee Mesmerizing Designs'." Gang Zhi answered.
"Well that's a stupid name." Hao Tieng said barely holding back his laughter.
" It is indeed stupid" Gang Zhi shaked his head in agreement. " But if it's really Mr. Lee who's planning on stealing our designs, then we could actually Sue him hence his company would be jeopardized, leaving us , the strongest Interior Design company in the whole of China." Gang Zhi continued with a devilish smile on his face.

"Well it's already late you guys. I'm gonna head on home. I'll see you at home Gang Zhi." Yung Jen said before disappearing into the night.
"Well I think I should also go home." Hao Tieng said, slowly reaching for the office door.
"Wait. Before you came in and came up with this amazing plan. You said you had something to talk to me about?" Gang Zhi asked.
" Ohhh I wanted to ask you if you'd...l-like to go out drinking since tomorrow is a weekend and we don't have any work. I thought you'd like to just hang out." Hao Tieng said
Gang Zhi was overwhelmed with happiness. Was Hao Tieng asking him out?
