CHAPTER 32: HER WORD WAS THE LAW

You are the driver of your life, don't let anyone steal your seat. Just let things come and go and the things that are meant to stay will definitely stay. And remember that success is not the key to happiness but happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will definitely be successful. (QUOTE OF THE DAY)

The next morning, Jason's assistant Ju Long was busy pacing back and forth in front of his boss's room, all the maids had already made themselves scarce and only the head butler remained downstairs as he watched Assistant Ju Long pacing in front of his young master's room. It was already 8am and today was a Tuesday, his boss had never ever been late for work since he knew him and he has known him for over ten years.

If someone had told him that there will be a day when his boss will sleep in and be late for work, he would never believe. He would rather believe that pigs could develop wings and fly. But today it seemed that hell was going to freeze over because the frosty boss was sleeping in. In his mind he kept thinking that things were not going according to plan and his boss was definitely going off-script. Firstly he ditched work yesterday and went for a date with that scary woman while wearing matching sets of couple clothes, secondly he switched off his phone throughout the day and he didn't bother to catch up on the work he left behind earlier that day, and now his boss was sleeping in.

Ahhhhhhhh! He screamed in his head. He didn't want to wake his boss and sentence himself to death, as far as he was concerned, his life was to precious to him. He knew it, it all started from meeting that woman again and now his scary boss was becoming someone else. He was already used to the frosty man and now he didn't know hoe to get used to this one now. That woman is trouble he said out loud.

Assistant Ju Long's main predicament was whether he could wake his boss up or not. If he did wake him up and he was displeased, he will definitely get sent to the dark room and that was not a place he wanted to go anytime soon. He shuddered at the thought of what happens in the dark room. But if he didn't wake him up and his boss went late for his morning meeting which has unfortunately been set for months now with the presidential aide, he might equally lose his head. Oh God! What am i going to do? He thought. He was stuck between a rock and a hard place, and he would actually prefer to be stuck between a rock and a hard place than to be where he is right now. He was almost whimpering. Why is my Job so hard? He asked no one but himself.

Meanwhile! In Jason's room, the man who was almost making assistant Ju Long pee his pant was just stretching himself lazily before sitting up on the bed. He looked at the bedside clock and it was already fifteen minutes past 8am. Jason had never slept till this late before, but yesterday was the best day of his life and he slept happily with only sweet dreams. The only thought in his mind was, if one day with Daisy could make him sleep like a baby with no worries or concern, he couldn't help but think of what a lifetime with her would bring. His lips arched upward when he thought of Daisy and their new life together. He picked up his phone and saw that he had one unread message from Daisy, he quickly read it and his smile became deeper and broader.

He called out to Assistant Ju Long who he knew was already waiting in front of his door.

Ju Long. He called...

Yes Boss... Assistant Ju opened the door and answer to his summons like a eunuch receiving an edict from the king. Good morning Boss... he said

Jason didn't bother to answer, he was a man of few words after all. Though he was very normal when talking to his friends and assistant usually but he had just woken up and the only person that could get him talking was his Queen.

Assistant Ju almost chocked on his own saliva when he raised his head and saw that his boss was still sitting up on his bed, with his messy bed hair. He had never seen him like this, the boss he knows was always looking prim and proper. But right now he looked like a model advertising the comfort a mattress could have, with his messy blond hair, he looked so handsome. Assistant Ju kept chanting that God i'm straight in his mind. Then he asked himself again, i'm straight right? I really need to get married, this man is too freakishly handsome. He said in his heart. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even hear what his boss had said.

Well! Said Jason, do you need me to hold the door open for you as you go out?

Sorry boss, i didn't get what you said earlier, Ju Long replied sheepishly, while scratching his head.

Jason sighed, he didn't want to make things harder for his poor assistant, he recognized how hard he worked. The truth is when Jason came back to N Nation to become the chairman of FYN GROUP, he offered Ju Long a position as vice president of operations but Ju Long refused and said that he wanted to remain as his assistant. He knew Ju Long was extremely loyal to him, and he was also his closest friend so he didn't want to stress so he just repeated himself.

Postpone my 8am meeting to 11am, and get rid of the maybach. I'll be driving a sports car from now onwards, he said.

Ju Long's knees almost gave out, his boss was giving him shock after shock, he was sure his life span had reduced by half again since yesterday. What did he mean by get rid of the maybach... Then he heard his boss talk again.

You can go back to the office now, you can tell the presidential aide to wait for my arrival or come back for the 11 o clock meeting. You're excused. Jason said.

Yes Boss, Ju Long said. he didn't dare refute his boss, he had no opinion. Only his boss will cancel a meeting with the mayor on one day and postpone another meeting that has been set for months with a presidential aide the very next day. This man was truly scary, he didn't even give face to the president. He left at the drop of a hat when his boss excused him. Once he was outside the door, whew! He let out a breath he didn't even know he had been holding.

He picked up his phone once again and dialled a number. He was calling my brightest star. That was the name he used to save Daisy's phone number and his screen saver was now a picture of Daisy making one of those funny faces. It was a picture he took at the Blueveiw Cafe the other day.

Hello... Came a sweet voice from the other side of the phone. It was so sweet and charming like raindrops falling into another pool of water gently.

Daisy had just finished having breakfast after she came back from her run, she was preparing to head to DBK when she got the call from Jason

Good morning Miss Kelton... he said

Jason.... she screamed into the phone. I told you its Ru LAN here okay... Ru Lan and by the way, you sound like the male version of Serene.

But i prefer to call you Kelton. He said to her and laughed at her words.

Ah! Fine just do as you see fit. What ever makes you happy. Why are you calling anyway? Is there a problem? She asked

Ouch! Daisy, that hurts right here, he pointed to his heart as if Daisy could see him. Does there have to be a problem for me to call my girlfriend in the morning? He asked

Oh! Okay... okay... sorry, it's my bad. I forgot that I have a boyfriend now. How was your night? Did you sleep well? she asked

Yes i did. Thanks for asking, i dreamt of you all night. He said.

Oh! That's not weird at all. Pervert much? She asked and rolled her eyes as if Jason could see her.

Only for you darling! Jason said and laughed.

I'm sorry! Why does it feel like you're flirting with me early in the morning Jason? She asked and knitted her eye brows.

That's because i am. Tell me, is it working? He asked

Totally. She said and they both burst out laughing. Jason never knew that for the life of him he could ever talk so flirtily on the phone and he couldn't help but wonder where all these words of his were coming from. He knew it was all so surreal but he had never enjoyed a phone conversation this much in his entire life. He couldn't help but give Kudos to the person that invented phones.

Ru Lan wasn't any better, she was felling all giddy in her stomach, it was like she has had an itch for a long time and it was finally been scratched with the right tool. She was giggling like a little high school girl who had received flowers from her long time crush.

Are you at the office? She asked him

Nope! Still on the bed. He said

Still on the bed? She asked, she didn't understand what he meant.

Yup! Still on the bed, i just woke up few minutes ago. I slept in thanks to you. He said

Well! I don't know what you're thanking me for, but i'm sure i deserve it, so you're very much welcome Mr Li. Ever the narcissistic Ru Lan.

Jason didn't know when but he started enjoying it whenever she called him Mr Li. She made his name sound like music to his ears. Do you have any plans for today? He asked her.

Yes! As a matter of fact, i'm already running late. Shit i should go. She said and started taking her things from the table and placing them in her backpack.

Jason was hearing ruffling sounds from her side so he knew he had to let her go, so he said, Alright i'll talk to you later.

See you around Jason. Oh! And don't forget to eat breakfast. I might call you later if you are not busy. She said.

I'm not busy, call me anytime you want. And I'll be sure to always remind you that you have a boyfriend now. You can count on it. Jason said.

En! She answered and ended the call.

Jason was feeling extra ecstatic. She told him to have breakfast before going, that means she cares about him right. His mom usually tells him to eat on time and all but for the first time he felt it didn't sound so bad. He was definitely going to have breakfast today. As far as he was concerned, her word was law and even he couldn't break them. He got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to take his bath.

He went to get ready for work. But before then, he had rung for the butler and told him to prepare his breakfast. Butler was simply stupefied. The Young master was going to have breakfast; this was the first time since he came back. Looks like the sun really is shinning from the west today. The old butler thought.
