The Shameless Old Man!

“Ah, finally!” Lunatte’s face beamed. She has gone through the interview stage and has just received news that he has been accepted to work as a clerk in a large company —Houston's Group—

Tomorrow Lunatte can start working. She was so happy because after so long. Finally, she was accepted to work! Lunatte doesn’t have to worry about money anymore. The salary offered suffices to finance her monthly living.

“I will give my best!” said Lunatte excitedly as she raised her fist in the air.

Lunatte looked at the watch in her hand. “Ah, no! Oh, Lord! It’s already this time! I’ll be late!” Lunatte grumbled on the way. Her neat appearance became a mess because of running in a hurry.

“Excuse me. I want to pass. I’m too late. Please, excuse me.” Lunatte cut through the sea of people at this train station with her panicked expression. It’s her first time working, and she’s late!

‘Lunatte! Very stupid! Why do you have to wake up so late!’

Finally, after running like crazy, Lunatte arrived!

“Hahhhh! Finally!” Lunatte ran again. Workspace upstairs. While she was waiting for the elevator to open. Someone appeared from behind. Then stand beside her. Lunatte turned her head. At first, she wanted to say hello. But when she saw who was the tall handsome man beside her, Lunatte immediately glared.

‘WHY DO I HAVE TO MEET HIM AGAIN?!’ Lunatte was in shock. This guy is the annoying guy in the bar!

‘So, he is also an employee here? How unlucky is my fate! Why is this world so small?!’

The elevator finally opened. Lunatte went inside, along with Russell. Russel looked at the woman beside him, who was behaving strangely. She had kept away from him and tried to cover her face with the bag. Trying to look away when Russel looked at her. Russell narrowed his eyes. Investigate Lunatte. He seemed familiar with the figure of this woman.

Ting!

Until finally, the elevator opened, and Lunatte, without saying anything, went straight out. Run as fast as possible, leaving Russel, who finally realized something.

“That woman. What is she doing here?”

“That woman must have deliberately wanted to work here in order to be close to me. I’m pretty sure. She’s always looking for opportunities to do that. Tch, that cheap woman!”

 ***

Lunch time just finished. Lunatte would have gotten back to work if someone hadn’t stopped her halfway.

“Lunatte,” someone called.

Lunatte stopped in her tracks. It was the manager in her division.

“Good day, sir. Can I help you?” asked Lunatte politely.

The manager gave a teasing smile. Realizing that something was wrong, Lunatte wanted to quickly get out of there. Lunatte put on her fake smile. She felt awkward about the situation she was in.

“Honestly, Lunatte. You are very beautiful. The most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen,” he praised shamelessly.

“Ah, sir, I have to finish my piled-up work soon.” Lunatte rushed away, but her hand was held.

“Lunatte, oh Lunatte. Do not be like that. I’m your boss. You needn’t be afraid.”

“Listen, I want to invite you to have a romantic and luxurious dinner at a five-star restaurant. After that, we will stay at the hotel. I was tempted by that curvy body. You look so hot. Hooked up seems like a good idea, isn’t it?” said the manager confidently while winking. Lunatte let go of the manager’s grip roughly. She’s not friendly anymore.

‘Turns out he’s just a masher! Using his position for such dirty things!’

“Sir, I am trying to be polite because you are my boss. And I still feel in the office environment. I try to be professional. But you yourself are being unprofessional by inviting me to do disgusting things, not with work intentions,” Lunatte said firmly.

The manager, of course, was angry at being humiliated by Lunatte. He glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then cornered Lunatte with his body, which was certainly much bigger than Lunatte, who was only a woman.

“Listen, I don’t want to be rude to you. Tonight, have dinner with me and have sex with me!” he threatened. His eyes narrowed. Give threats. But Lunatte wasn’t that weak.

“Manager, seeing your very unmanly response makes me doubt if you have good skills to satisfy me in bed. Are you sure you can satisfy your partner?” Lunatte said once again to embarrass the manager. Her anger was so close that Lunatte wasn’t afraid to say that.

“You!” The manager was about to slap Lunatte on the cheek but didn’t because another employee was passing by. He quickly moved away from Lunatte, who was giving him a challenging look.

“You! Just watch out for you later! I will make calculations with you!” Then, the manager left feeling very angry at Lunatte. Lunatte really made his pride so low.

Lunatte looked at the manager’s departure with an annoyed look. Her hands had even clenched into fists.

“Shameless old man! Huh!” Lunatte left to return to her work. Meanwhile, Russell saw what was going on between Lunatte and the manager. He heard their every conversation.

 ***

“Lunatte,” called the manager in a bitter tone. He was apparently still annoyed with this woman and wanted to make a lesson.

Lunatte took her eyes off the PC screen, then stood up. “Yes, sir? Can I help you?” Lunatte was being professional.

“You. Clean the toilet now. Male toilet. Until it’s clean. If not, you can’t go home,” the manager ordered, making Lunatte dumbfounded.

“Cleaning the toilets, sir? But that’s not in my responsi-“

“Hurry and do it right now,” the manager hastily spoke, interrupting Lunatte, who was about to protest. After giving that ridiculous task to Lunatte, the manager came back into his room. From within, the man continued to stare at Lunatte through the glass wall with narrowed eyes.

Lunatte lowered her head.

‘It’s only the first day and I’ve been so unlucky. What a bad day!’ Lunatte had no other choice. She finally did the job of the manager. She didn’t want to get into trouble and end up losing this job. It’s hard to find a job nowadays. Lunatte must be careful.

Lunatte walked quickly in annoyance towards the men’s toilet. Luckily, there was no one in the toilet. ‘And why does it have to be the men’s toilet that I clean?!’ Lunatte didn’t understand the mind of that annoying ugly manager.

Lunatte went inside and closed the door. Just now Lunatte was going to get her gear to clean the toilet. Suddenly someone entered. Lunatte and the man stared at each other.

‘Why do we have to meet him again?! Why is bad luck always on my side now?!’

It surprised Russel to find Lunatte in the men’s toilet. He, with his own way of thinking, immediately looked at Lunatte with a probing and appraising look.

“What? Why are you looking at me like that?” she asked.

“Even you followed all the way to the toilet? Back then, you followed to the bar. Then I found you in the company. What’s worse, you followed me to the toilet? I know you want to be close to me and do various ways to seduce me. But don’t you think that this is too much? You ran here intending to peek at me, right? You really are so cheap.”

Lunatte gaped. What is this man talking about?

“Sir, I don’t know who you are. From the first time we met, you always ramble. You pretend to know me even though I don’t know you at all. Actually, here, who has the intention to approach? And what was that you said? Followed you? Running here to peep on you?” Lunatte chuckled as if she was underestimating Russel.

“You are very handsome but unfortunately too narcissistic, sir! Thinking that women are after you. After all…” Lunatte’s gaze fell downwards. Russell followed Lunatte’s gaze. By reflex, Russel covered what Lunatte was staring at.

“What do you see?!” Russel asked coldly.

“Are yours so big and mighty that I would even take a peek at you? Hm, I’m not sure,” said Lunatte while shrugging her shoulders. Putting on an unsure face while looking at Russel, who was frozen after hearing her words.

“YOU!”

Russel intended to hold Lunatte’s hand, but Lunatte quickly came out of the toilet.

‘What an annoying man! An annoying narcissist!’
