Fail of the Small talk

While Mei Ling was happily eating the food, she didn't know that she was being stared by Jack.

Damn, this shouldn't be allowed, how come her lips so good, because of the oil on the meat, the lips of Mei Ling looked oily, even though Mei Ling was eating quickly, her manners weren't inferior to someone from a noble family, she still kept her grace by eating quite elegantly.

Small talk, small talk, I must do some small talk, I must get closer to her, the book said that asking about the hobby is the best way, and I should find a common point between us to reduce the distance between us.

Jack still keeping his icy cold voice, asked Mei Ling who was eating happily, and who almost finished half of the table:

"So, do you have a hobby?" This question came out of nowhere as Mei Ling coughed violently when she heard this question. Jack immediately became worried but before he could take a paper to give Mei Ling, When Eric appeared out of nowhere and gave water and a piece of tissue to Mei Ling while continuously tapping on her back, well originally, he didn't leave.

"Yes, Sir, thank you Eric" Mei Ling first answered Jack's question before thanking Eric.

While Jack wanted to crush Eric into powder, he just stared at the misty-eyed Mei Ling with a bit a bit of water running down her throat disappearing in her cleavage, and who was red because of her coughing fit. Jack just felt his throat going dry, while staring at Mei Ling's lips Jack asked:

"Are you okay?" This time Mei Ling's expression didn't change but still, her thoughts were in a mess. Is her Boss worried about her? Thankfully she didn't react like last time and responded quickly.

"Yes Sir, I am okay" While saying those words, Mei Ling looked at Jack and seeing that he was staring at her lips she hurriedly wiped her mouth with a tissue.

Jack soul came back to his body after Mei Ling wiped her mouth, and with it came back the thoughts that were going after him earlier. The small talk is too difficult. He was faintly frowning, so faint that nobody except Mei Ling could see that he was frowning.

Mei Ling felt that he was frowning because of her but she didn't know the reason so she didn't dare to interrupt his thoughts she just wiped her mouth cleanly then finish her lunch until she was full.

Jack didn't eat afterward, he had gone back to thinking about how to approach without startling her but he didn't seem to find a solution, so he just got back to work. It was when he left the Jet that he realized that he completely forgot about the part where should have been dropping hints by reading books related to love.

After leaving the Jet, they were welcomed by two men. One old and one young. The Old man was the current president, and owner of Kazoku Corps, he was dressed formally in a suit, and he had an extremely respectful attitude toward Jack. He was named Tensei Kazoku. The young man beside the old man, the current heir of Kazoku Corps, and he looked almost like a younger copy of the old man, he was also the son of Tensei Kazoku, Sora Kazoku, had the same attitude has his father, no doubt they were father and son.

Even though they just arrived they immediately boarded a huge car in direction of Kazoku Corps. As soon as they boarded the car, on a huge screen, the detail of the project was seen.

Jack still kept his indifferent expression, he was totally unreadable while watching the display of the project. We soon arrived inside a huge building similar to the French tower in La Defense, we entered the elevator and Mister Tensei pressed the button to go the 27th level.

I knew what to do, as soon as we left the elevator, I go to the printer, print to 20 copy and instructed one of the assistants to distribute it to member present inside the halls.

On the round meetings table, 15 men sat in a circle, they all had a smile on their face and respectfully greeted Jack, then as soon Jack sat down on the main seat on the opposite of Mister Tensei. The man received the draft contract that I made, and from now on, the boring presentation of project, visits and everything else will begin and will be ongoing for three days.

I always felt that my Boss was impressive because he was able to break the flow of other people, and simply by sitting there he was capable have of forcing other people in the meetings room to only follow his demands, not the inverse.

It's weird, he always had that soul-sucking face that could make both men and woman fall in love, he was always dressed formally, slowly I felt that he was perfect? A tiny blush made it's to my cheeks.

The days passed slowly, every one of them tried to modify the contract, even though at the end of the day the contract was modified slightly, every single modification was in our favor, I don't how my boss did it but if he wants something he will get it, but he will make it so that the person will give it to him with a smile on their face while thinking that they had won something while in reality, they were losing other.

As Mei Ling stared at Jack, she didn't know that every time she looked at Jack, Jack straightened up even more, and each time he tried to pose more perfectly. She didn't know that each look she gave him made his heart beat madly, she didn't know that each frown, each expression on her face was being recorded by the eyes, Jack. She didn't know that while she looked at Jack, Jack was looking at her. And she didn't know that while she didn't look at him, Jack looked at her. She didn't know that each time she looked away from him, Jack's heart was unknowingly filled with disappointment, and even Jack didn't know this.
