2nd Day at Work

Alex is amazing, thought Yuki, he even sent an instruction of what to wear and how to wear them from Tuesday to Friday. Yuki never knew her best colours are actually pastel colours. It brings out her features and make her look absolutely feminine. A word she has crossed out from her dictionary. He crossed match the clothes for the weekends and new arrival will be sent to me every Monday at 8:30pm. No wonder all the employees in the company are so well dress.

She didn't know there is a certain dress code guideline formulated by Alex for Lee Group to maintain work integrity and avoid possibility of sexual harassment. However Xavier has never choose or buy any clothes for any employee neither has the company bear any charges towards what an employee wears to work. It is up to the employee themself to follow the guideline and decide their own outfit.

Yuki put on a pencil dress and a white long sleeve shirt with ribbons at the collar. She tied her hair into a high ponytail as per Alex instruction to go with the attire. Surprisingly she looks really good and professional when she check herself in the mirror. She grab a black handbag provided by Alex for this week and headed downstairs to get coffee and bread from the convenience store. She just wanted to say hi to HuangMin and tell him all is well before catching the bus to work.

She saw Daniel the moment she walk out of the lobby. "What is he doing here?" she wondered. She went into the convenience store and greeted,"Good morning HuangMin! I will pay for my coffee and bread today since I am a full time employee now." HuangMin who was arranging things behind the counter turn to return my greeting but stunted with his mouth wide open. He is looking at me but he looks weird. Without hesitation, I walk around the counter and shake him, talking to him at the same time,"HuangMin, HuangMin, are you okay? Can you hear me? I am scared that he might be under some unknown health condition. I read it somewhere even young people can get stroke or heart attack nowadays with all the pollution and whatnot.

HuangMin came out from his stupor and blink his eyes still looking at me. "Wow, did you look at yourself in the mirror Yuki?! You look stunning. I can't believe I have been colleagues with a beauty like you and didn't even realise it. You should have thrown out that ugly beret hat long time ago," exclaimed HuangMin.

"Hey, I remember you said I was cute back then!" Yuki pretend to be angered.

HuangMin said," Yeah, cute but this is another level Yuki. You look beautiful like this, more like a modern princess. I bet a prince charming will come and sweep you off your feet sooner than later."

"Say the hunk who is more interested in men than in me,"I rolled my eyes at him. "I think all the good guys are gays. I met a designer name Alex yesterday and he is amazing. This outfit is from him but I don't even need to ask and I know he is into men," Yuki sighed.

The store entry bell sounded and Daniel came in,"Ms. Yuki, Mr. Lee send me here to fetch you."

Yuki quickly grab a bottle of water and a pack of bread and left some cash at the countertop for HuangMin. "Sorry for the rush, there must be an emergency for the office to send someone to fetch me. Let's catch up soon and wish you good luck for your job search," Yuki told HuangMin and left with Daniel.

Yuki went into the car back seat without delay. She asked Daniel if he knows about any emergency from her boss that required her assistance. Daniel just shook his head and smile. When they arrive at the office 35 minutes later, Yuki thank Daniel for the ride and make her way straight through the lobby to the exclusive elevator to the CEO office. Mr. Xavier, her boss has explained for her to do so during dinner yesterday.

When the elevator door closes for Yuki to head up, an uproar started in the company lobby. Everyone was asking if anyone has managed to snap a photo of Yuki. A classic beauty has appeared in the office heading straight to the CEO office is big news. It was peak hours for employees to clock in so it was not too difficult to compare notes in the crowded building lobby to know if Yuki was the same personal assistant hired yesterday by the CEO himself. For once there is someone more popular than Xavier himself over the various company group chats.
