Zen comes back from the rest room only to be surprised that the CEO was already talking with someone else. The man was in his suit with height almost as tall as Mr. Claude. "Zen, what took you so long?" The man who has his back turned against him, turned around to see him.Zen's eyes grew bigger. He looks handsome too. Not as handsome as Mr. CEO, but any person could tell from a single glance that this person's look is eye-catching. Before Zen could even reply, Sevastian continued to talk. "Mr. Tan, this is Mr. Alfonso. Mr. Alfonso, he is Secretary Tan." 'Oh.''He didn't introduce me as his secretary.'Secretary Tan flashes a smile that seemingly is in relief. "Hello, Mr. Alfonso. You're the first one to catch Mr. Claude's eyes that he even personally made you his secretary. I'm just glad that someone may finally be able to take care of him." He then shakes Zen's hand a bit too roughly due to his excitement. Mr. Alfonso timidly says in confusion, "But aren't you also his—" *secre

"What. Are. You. Doing?" Emma asks with a somehow forced looking smile while she looks at Zen putting his work items in a box. Putting away items in an office could only mean two things.First. Either he's fired. One that Emma is secretly hoping for.Second. He's being promoted. "Oh, I got promoted." 'Dang it.' Emma's nose flares from her rising anger but she still flashes a smile to maintain her kind image. Although, she looked like a cartoon from her flared nose and forced smile. It looks really unnatural.Zen remained oblivious to Emma's true feelings for him. Meanwhile, Sevastian Claude went to the company extra early. He couldn't miss seeing his secretary's face first thing in the morning. He even bit his inner cheek so it would leave a canker sore. And so it did! After all, he still hasn't used the ointment Zen gave him. He was treasuring it to use for a special moment and he is positive that today could be that moment to use it. Zen arrives outside the CEO's office. He kno

Zen was completely caught off guard by what Mr. Claude said. He knows himself that he has the potential to be promoted if he stays longer in this company, but not to this extent! He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw sincerity in the boss' face. Zen stutters— couldn't put proper words for all the emotions he is currently feeling, "Uh.. S-Sir, th-thank you... but I... I don't know what to say." It was too sudden for Zen to comprehend such promising words. "You don't have to say 'yes' right away. I'll give you some time to think about it." Zen nods repeatedly, flustered and grateful. "Thank you sir."'To think that Mr. Claude thinks highly of me for just a single meeting!' Mr. Alfonso blushes a little and the boss saw it and found it adorable.It didn't take long, when rumours start to mysteriously circulate among the employees. A lot of them were surprised because of a sudden possible promotion and to a high position at that! They couldn't help but grow suspicious of Zen's int

[SHORT ALTERNATE UNIVERSE STORY of Sevastian Claude x Zen Alfonso] **This is not in any way related to the main story. Zen's POVI am Zen Alfonso. A 30 year-old part time worker, and proudly a full-time MOONINE fanboy. Moonine is a rising K-pop boy group that has been receiving more praise nowadays because of their good talents but I have been a consistent st4r (name of fandom) since their rookie days. I was admiring my Bias' photocard that's been hanging by my mirror when my alarm rang. "Dang it. I was still daydreaming of Seven and me kissing in our beach wedding." I angrily turn off my alarm but made sure that I didn't hit it too hard. I can't afford to buy a new one, so better be careful than sorry. "Haa. Seven, bye for now because I still need to go to work. But don't you worry, I'll be back later to spend some time with you." I say as I blew lots of flying kisses to the photo card.I'm not actually gonna spend time with Seven physically since I'm penniless. I'm simply goin

Upon returning home, Zen received a chat from his superior and crush, Emma Claire. She had just now informed him that she had a severe case of cold wherein she coughed for the whole day so she didn't go to work. Zen felt worried so he sent her a get well message and told her about the great news when she asked about how the presentation went.[Look Zen, I'm really sorry for being absent. My throat had to hurt like hell that I couldn't even talk for a second.][No worries, Emma. Hope you feel okay by tomorrow. Please get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids.][So how did the presentation go? The boss was probably infuriated with you, wasn't he? I totally understand cause I got yelled at when I presented the first time.][Err.. Actually, it went well.]Emma couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the text message so she requested a call from Zen which he happily obligued. "What do you mean by 'went well'?
