Chapter:-5

Sebestian was lucky  since the day he met Ash, from when they were friends and after having another type of relationship, he has always managed to convince him easily. This time, instead of getting a negative response or silly excuses, the only thing Sebestian received from her ex-husband was a sigh of surrender.

The moment Jai left the room with his shoes on and a small backpack on his back, Ash took his son hand and lead him outside, making his way to the front door. He struggled a bit because of all the things he carried with him, at least until Sebestian rushed to help him carry Ash pile of folders and diary. 

When it was time to get inside the car, Ash things were placed in the back seats of Sebestian car, the furthest from the car seat where Ash was of placing Jai carefully, his son is  keep quite still and watching with full attention towards his father like Ash is doing some impossible thing. When Ash caught sight of his little boy's attentive gaze, he returned his gaze, giving him a warm smile. The moment Ash adjusted the belt around Jai, he raised his son hands to reach his father's face, gently pulling him until he managed to leave a small kiss on Ash cheek. As a good father who love his son more than anything, Ash smiled widely and did not hesitate for a single second to return the kiss repeatedly, leaving a few on the soft and plump cheeks, one on the tip of the nose and the last on the forehead. .

After that sweet moment, he carefully closed the car door, then got into the passenger seat. Sebestian was already sitting behind the wheel, with his seatbelt tight, he ready started the car when everyone settle. Sebestian is sending messages waiting for Ash to properly buckle up, while looking his face anyone can tell it's not about work at all because of the warm smile in his lip when he is sending message. 

"So how is Allen?" 

Sebestian started laughing a little nervously, put the phone aside and started the car. His new partner's subject is Ash favorite, all because of the alpha's reactions. He really does not like the idea that Ash wants to meet his current partner; God, they are ex-husbands, it will be so strange.

It's not like Allen hate Ash or Ash hate Allen. It's just not feel right. But if one day Ash will have his own partner he will sure fix their meetings.

The drive to the Cole enterprise was not bad , Ash was much calmer, the fact that Sebestian drives him to work is really a new thing, they never had a realtionship like this. Between talks, calls and the occasional discussion they reached their destination. The car stopped right in front of the huge building in the center of the city, setting the turn signals to get off next to Ash, in order to help him unload all the things that the Omega has with him that day. 

"Thanks for bringing me, I owe you one."

"Just invite me to dinner the next time your place and I will be your full-time driver." 

Ash chuckled lightly, Sebestian on the shoulder." Don't tempt me —" after saying that, he said goodbye from outside to Jai, who waved his hand with great energy in front of the window. The omega blew a couple of kisses towards his cub, smiling wide every time the little one repeated his actions. He looked back at Sebestian and without much thought leaned over to kiss his cheek as a goodbye. "Old customs that are not forgotten -. Don't give Jai candy."

"It's a suggestion?" Sebestian asked playfully, as he watched Ash walk away at a rather hurried inside the buliding.

Without knowing that someone watching them with range in his eyes.

"It is a warning!"

With that Sebestian laughed to his ex-husband, getting into the car to leave the place.

Ash rushed into the building's as fast as he can, bumping into several people on his way to the elevator. He heard the occasional greeting from the workers in other sections of the magazine and from the pretty receptionist, always smiling and being very friendly. He could barely answer a couple of greetings, bowing his head as he passed the magazine's chief editor. It may not be his direct boss, but he always try to show respect to the everyone.

He managed to get someone to stop the elevator for him, thanked him more than once, and heaved a huge sigh of relief, hitting the button that indicated he was going to the top floor. What would have happened to him if he didn't get into the elevator? God, going up more than 50 floors would be fucking shit.

"Someone's late." A soft, singsong voice made him jump, he immediately turned to look at who it was Warne. 

"You are never late, especially when there was an important meeting."

"I stayed up late finishing a project. I woke up with the message that the meeting was an hour and a half early, you can imagine how everything turned out after that."

"Your house must be upside down." 

"You can't imagine it, Warne."

Warne just laughed, shaking his head at everything Ash told him. Warne is a couple of years older than him, he works in the design part of the magazine, being the main graphic designer; It is not a coincidence that Ash grew so close to him, as a graphic design student he was very excited about Warne position in the magazine. Both Ash and Warne put aside their shy personalities and managed to form a friendship in such a short time (the two months that Ash has been working there).

Thanks God, there was only four people in the elevator (besides Ash), it was not long at all to get to their destination. Both he and Warne came down on the same floor, the one where there were only a few offices and two fairly large board-rooms; Warne helped Ash with things, since Warne was carrying nothing more than a huge folder with the designs that he would propose today at the meeting. It should be noted that Ash was dying to see that folder. 

"Just for a few minutes you could hear the presentation, you don't need to worry."

"Do I put this on your desk or ...?"

"That's fine, I have a couple of things to check before ..." 

"Ash? If it's you, please come inside the office. It's late!"

"-.. talk to the boss."

Warne bit his lip to keep from laughing at Ash reaction to the call coming from within the large main office. 

"Oh, Mr. Cole must be angry." The shorter one, who successfully held back his laughter, raised his thumbs in front of Ash, whispering his luck and then leaving. 

Ash gulp and look towards Mr. Adom Cole office.

When he entered inside his boss office, Ash shrugged where he stands, letting out a most nervous sigh. His boss tone is not very pleasant for his ears and it's first time when Mr. Cole using his cold one towards him.

Well it's not that he was afraid to him! Mr. Cole always talk with soft voice with him, but Ash heard how  he has some moments in which, without using his command voice, he made the whole building shake. With nervous steps he hurried into the office, taking only the huge sign. He knocked on the door a couple of times, receiving a positive response so he can enter inside  the office. 

He stumbled a little as he stepped into the doorframe, muttered a curse in a very low voice, looking around the office. He find himself lucky when he see only Adom inside the office, not someone else. 

Adom Cole, CEO of Cole interprise, current owner of Leisure Fusion magazine . Highborn Alpha, Bangkok's most wanted bachelor. It's a  dream come true, if you ask anyone, omegas or betas and some alphas agree, he is a great match. Ash is part of the list of omegas who appreciate the beauty of their boss, but prefers not to say anything about it.

"For a moment I thought you wouldn't make the meeting."

"I'm sorry, I had a couple of problems, that's why I am late today sir."

Standing by a large wooden desk is none other than Adom, flipping through the contents of a black folder. His body is bent slightly on the desk, while he take down some things on the sheets inside the folder. Adom approaches at a rapid pace, standing next to his boss with the intention of seeing what he is doing, since he rarely finds him writing things down with pencil and paper; that's usually a Adom thing.

"Don't apologize, the important thing is you're here Ash. The folders with have some important information on everything  is being ready for this month's magazine are ready as they informed me, I need you to review them and then take them to the meeting room. You already know how it's work, right?" 

Adom looked at Ash for the first time, looking him straight into his eye, then giving him a more wired look in a slightly sneaky way. Adom relaxed his harsh expression a little, giving Ash a sly smile. He reached his hand up to lightly touch the fabric of the jean jacket Ash was wearing.

"Nice jacket," he speaks in a calm voice, without taking his eyes off the garment, noticing a small stain on the chest of the garment. Although it is a bit dirty.

'Seriously? He need to stop staring Mr. Cole but he can't help it. He had been staring at Mr. Cole handsome face for a hole minutes, then Ash curse inside his mind  and  look down.

He pulled on the fabric until he found the stain and sure enough, it look like a strain something like red paint.

"Oh Jai. The boy had been painting with the new brushes Sebestian had bought for him for two days, so it's no surprise that he got stained with paint. Hell, I don't think it'll come off... "he hissed after trying to scrape the dried paint off the fabric.
