The clock was ticking and seeing how the attendees got impatient, Zion’s secretary had no choice but to speak up. He was put in charge of carrying out the meeting that day, but seeing how Zion did not show up, he announced to the attendees. “Manager Zion might be running a little late as he might be handling something urgent. Everyone, please have a cup of coffee while we wait a little longer.”Right then, the staff from the front desk walked into the meeting room with a cart filled with cups of coffee. She handed everyone a cup of coffee and when she passed Paige, she said to her, “This is from Manager Zion’s account.”“Don’t worry, I understand,” smiled Paige before adding, “after all, we can’t even afford to pay the water bills.”Paige left it there and did not say anything further. The staff looked awkward so Paige quickly commented, “This seems to be the first time Manager Zion’s running late, right? I’m sure the free coffee tastes good but if everyone were to solve problems wi
"I know, and I’m reflecting on myself," Paige tried her best to do what she could, and since she was disguised as Yoel Fabian, she had nothing to lose. Hence, she continued, "I’ve made up my mind to learn from Manager Zion but for some reason, he’s not willing to teach me." She did not bother to lower her voice. People started looking at her and they seemed confused. They thought that Yoel was clearly messing around and if Zion did run away, he must have been forced by him. While they were in the middle of a conversation, Zion’s secretary was in no mood to deal with them. While coming up with a way to reassure the higher-ups, he continuously tried to call his assistant to urge him. His assistant had no choice but to drive around at the fastest speed around the town to locate Zion.Just when the assistant was about to reach where Zion was staying, he finally received a call from his boss. On the other end of the call was Zion’s depressing voice asking him, “Where are you right now?
The secretary knew that Zion was not the type to be joking around. He gasped and exclaimed, “How can there be kangaroos in our country? Manager Zion, could it be that someone is searching for their enemy? Hold on, I’ll file a report to the cops and have them look into it!”The meeting room was immediately in an uproar. Almost everyone in the meeting room was intrigued and fascinated by the fact that a kangaroo was spotted in the country. Someone sneered, “You’re lying, aren’t you? We’re not even in Australia.”Another person immediately argued, “Kangaroos? Could it be that you had a bit too much to drink? This is just too far-fetched.”“Even if there was a kangaroo, it wouldn’t possibly start a fight with someone, right?”“I don’t think this is something you’d experience from being drunk, could it be that you took drugs…”Before the person could finish his sentence, Zion’s secretary glared at him. Zion interrupted the ongoing commotion. “There’s no need to call the cops. I don’t
Paige secretly headed toward the fire exit to get the uniform and cap that she hid earlier. Staring at the cap with one of its kangaroo ears missing, Paige reluctantly prepared a stash of cash as compensation for the delivery guy. To avoid being spotted by anyone, Paige did not take the lift but instead, she sneaked downstairs and charged toward the guardhouse, like a culprit fleeing from a crime scene. Just when she was about to hide the items in her hands, she heard a voice calling out to her. “Mr. Fabian? What a coincidence! I was about to retrieve my belongings and here you are,” It was the delivery guy from earlier. He was full of smiles as he continued, “I think fate must have brought us together.”Paige hurriedly pulled him aside and whispered, “Shh! No one should know about the fact that I borrowed your uniform.”“Oh, sure thing!” The delivery guy was puzzled but as Paige was a regular customer, he simply nodded his head. Paige then returned him the uniform, cap, and th
He was efficient in carrying out his job. With a convincing excuse of investigating the food delivery into the company, Zion’s secretary checked every employee’s desk that attended the team building. The employees thought that Zion came up with a way to put Yoel into a tight spot, hence most of them were happy to help out.Though he worked alone, Zion’s secretary quickly finished checking all the possible places for someone to hide the kangaroo cap. He wondered if Zion’s affair last night was nothing but a trap.Since nothing was found among the employees’ cubicles, there was only Yoel’s office that he was yet to check. As Zion’s secretary, he too did not care about Yoel’s position as the director. Hence, without even knocking on the door, he was about to barge into the office but only to find that the door was locked. “What are you doing?” A panting sound was heard. The secretary was startled and turned around. His eyes met Yoel’s and he quickly came up with an excuse. “Manage
The secretary checked the photo and looked at where Joy stood. He got excited immediately. He thanked the staff and charged toward Joy before asking politely, “Hello Miss, I’m a customer from last night and I have something that I need to ask you about.”Joy was the girl who almost spent a night with Zion who was drugged. After being greeted by the secretary, she was slightly alarmed and after studying the secretary carefully, Joy let go of her defenses. “You’re with the Remington Group, right? Ask away,” Joy did not sound friendly.The secretary assumed that Joy was the girl that Zion spent a night with. Hence, instead of being upset by her defensiveness, he approached her more friendly and lowered his voice before asking, “Were you the one who sent Zion back to his hotel room? Did you perhaps see this then?”The secretary then reached into his pockets to pull out the kangaroo ears and showed it to Joy. Contradicting to fairy tales wherein soldiers would look for the princess wit
“He asked to see me? Did you ask why he wants to see me?” Zion could not help but feel that a lot of strange things happened to him for the past few days. “He said that you ordered food delivery earlier this morning and he just realized that he forgot to pass you a freebie. So he’s delivering it to you now,” The staff at the front desk glanced at the teddy bear plushie and thought that the delivery guy did not need to come all the way just to deliver a plushie.Feeling puzzled, Zion exchanged looks with his secretary and replied, “Okay. Ask him to stay, I’ll have someone to go down with.”The secretary got Zion’s orders and headed downstairs. The moment he got to the front desk, the secretary coincidentally ran into the food delivery guy who was about to leave after leaving the plushie at the front desk. The secretary looked as if he was struck by a bolt of lightning as he stood frozen on spot and asked, “What happened to your cap?”“Huh?” The delivery guy reached for his head and
“I think we should try to understand the situation more. I’m sure there must be some sort of misunderstanding,” replied Zion but he did not dare to confront the food delivery guy. If the food delivery guy demanded an explanation for last night, Zion wondered if he should own up to what happened last night.Zion’s secretary looked at him sympathetically and said, “Manager, he already told me everything. He even said that his butt was hurt. Plus, you should think optimistically about this situation, I mean at least you’re the one on top, right?”Zion did not say anything. He looked as if he lost his speech ability and that his soul left his body.“I’ve taken a close look at the delivery guy, he’s rather good-looking. I think it won’t be a bad thing if you decide to get into a relationship with him. What do you think?” The secretary cluelessly crossed a line. Zion combed through his hair using his fingers and gave a muffled reply. “I’m straight.”To that point, Zion’s response was
