Work Ectnic.

Arriving at the dining table, three plates were already set up like usual. One was already occupied by Yvenia's father. Both of them sat down, greeting him for the morning.

"How's work going Uncle Wu? Everything going well? You've looked more tired than usual lately." Mark asks worryingly.

"The old geezers have been on my back a lot more lately. I wish I had a son like you who asks about me about my well being, unlike my daughter here who only knows how to mess with me." He took a brief glance at Yvenia.

Who's messing with who? You must be joking. She snorts. "Well, I'm sorry for not being a good enough daughter. Since Mark is such a good son, why don't you just adopt him?" She says sarcastically with a smile.

"Oh how I wish to. But sadly he already has a father." He shrugs.

Twitching his eyebrows, Mr. Wu, are you trying to curse my father to his death bed already? He sighs within his heart. Truly like father like daughter.

Awkwardly laughing "Haha...I'm flattered Uncle Wu but I'm fine with the Father I already have."

Sighing "What a shame."

'What a shame?'

They've continued to eat breakfast, making small conversation.

---

On the 15th floor in Wu's cooperation Yvenia was in her office, working on paperwork and registering things on the computer. For a 15 year old almost 16, she already held a high position in the company. Many were envious of her but still hold deep respect for her many advancements in the company over the course of a year. It was truly astonishing.

Then there's Mark, playing video games on the couch.

Hearing a knock on the door, she answers "You May come in." Without taking her eyes off her work.

A woman wearing a white blouse and black pen shirt with black heels walks in with a bouquet of flowers.

"Miss, these flowers were sent by the Chang Family youngest son. There's a card attached to it. Where should I place them?"

Before Yvenia could even say anything, Mark took the bouquet of flowers out of the lady's arms.

"I'll take care of them. He smiles. "You May go back to work." Mark says as he walks her towards the door.

"What are you trying to do?" Darting a suspicious look at Mark.

"Isn't the answer obvious? Helping you of course." Flashing a mischievous smile.

Not buying it, she ignored him and continued with her work. Taking a look at the card he smirks at the contents within it. How naive can this person be.

Walking towards Yvenia, he places his chin on her head still holding the card and starts reading the contents proudly. "Yvenia, these bouquets of flowers are for you. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy spending time and looking at your beauty. I'll like to take you to dinner one day, here's my personal phone number. Call me when you can. XXX-XXX-XXX"

"Throw it in the trash." Not surprised by her response he continues to tease her putting his arms around her with his chin still on her head. "Aw how mean. You should at least reply to him Nia."

Getting annoyed with his remarks she suddenly jolts up from her seat injuring his chin. Startled by her sudden action, his chin was already red. "That hurted Nia!"

"Humph" She sat back down.

"Go play somewhere else. Don't you still have work to do? Why are you still even here even?"

"I already finished this week's work last week so I could spend some extra time with you this week." Darting a glance at Yvenia to see her face expression.

Speechless, Yvenia didn't know what to say. She was trying to drive him out but he came here especially to spend time with her.

Seeing her with nothing else to say, he teases her. "What. Moved? I know." He smirks, crossing his arms.

Flinching at Mark's comment she changed her mind. Never mind, forget about being sentimental to this jerk.

"Mark" She calls his name sweetly as she smiles mischievously.

Flinching towards her tone, his face turned pale white. What is she up to now? I don't think I wanna know.

Nervously replies, Y-yes N-nia?"

"Put out your hands."

Seeing him getting anxious as he puts out his hands she chuckles. Splitting her work into two, she gave the other pile to Mark. Since he was done with his work and she wasn't she took advantage of that. It's a win- win situation, the earlier her work is finished, the earlier he can hang out with her.

"Here, you can do the other half. I'll even take you out for lunch today."

Elated upon hearing those words, he went straight to work without refuting.

Chuckling at how he can be such a child sometimes, she went straight back to work. Stretching her arms in the air, finishing before Mark, she took a good look at him.

He's definitely not bad looking. His western traits made a good contrast with his Asian traits. He has blonde hair and dark deep black eyes. Anyone would be drawn into them just looking at them, but that wasn't the case for Yvenia. She's basically immune to him at this point with his constant flirtatious remarks.

Seeing him so serious, she wasn't used to this. As she was about to poke him on his cheek, he made a huge sigh. "Haaaa. I'm Done!" He faces Yvenia as her finger is still up, she puts it down and smiles.

"Just in time. It's already lunch!" She grabs him by his arm and leads him to the company's garage and hopped into her convertible.

"So. Where do you wanna go for lunch?" She faces him ready to drive.

"Anywhere you want. I don't mind." He took a look at her as he buckled himself up.

"Alright then! Sit tight" She puts on her sunglasses and puts on her seatbelt.

'Why do I have a bad feeling about this?' Mark gulps as he holds tight onto the car door.
