CHAPTER 6

AFTER their hearty meal, they left the house. But before going to the office, Jay insisted to buy some snacks at a convenience store. As Nick thought that they would only grab ‘some’ snacks, Jay brought two bags of snacks for Stephen. Most of it was breads, spreads, Waffles, there were some fruits, and there were some junk foods and of course Jay did know that Stephen really likes probiotic drinks.

Arriving at the building, most of the employees were having a confused look as Jay was now carrying Stephen in his arm and in the other was the plastic bag of foods.

“Is that the son of the VP?” The girl employees was gossiping in one corner of the office.

“But he did not date any women lately.” The other spoke.

“Maybe he kept his women and the one that he kept was pregnant with that child.” Another one joined them.

“Good morning Mr. Yao. I think we have to reduce some people here. It’s getting hot.” Jay suddenly stopped at the corner of the head of the department they were walking into.

“Okay, sir. I will send it to you in a bit sir.” Mr. Yao said.

Huh! They think that they can survive in this company with their gossips huh?!

They enter the elevator and go to the highest floor where Jay’s office and his office is located. Stephen was very amazed of the view as the walls of the elevator was made from glass.

“Enjoying what you see kiddo?” Jay Asked Stephen who still doesn’t take his eyes off the view.

“Yes, Kuya Jay.” Stephen replied.

“Good. Whenever you like to come, just tell your Kuya Nick and then your Kuya Nick will tell it to me, okay?”

“He just can’t come here whenever he likes. He will e troublesome to you and to the office.” He contradicted. Stephen then pouted his lips and it’s eyes are shining that signs it will cry soon.

“But Stephen wants to come here.” It’s eyes went directly to Jay’s eyes to look for help.

Jay then wiped Stephen’s tear that’s about to fall. “It’s okay. I can hire a maid to take care of him whenever I’m busy and to check him when he’s on school.” Jay reached for his hand and pulled closer to Jay. “But every time I’m not busy, I’ll take care of him. I promise you that.” Jay’s head tilted closer to his ears to whisper.

The whisper sent him a shiver down to his spine. His warm minty breath tickled a little his ear but his mind found it sexy and his heart palpitations were not normal. It beats so fast and he felt nervousness causing him to move away a little bit.

“O-okay.” Was the word all he could say and he still stuttered.

Jay gave a little chuckle and he could see that a smirk was plastered on it’s face. He quickly avoided the eyes of Jay when their eyes met through the door of the elevator.

The awkwardness stopped when the door opened signaling that it’s the office floor. He knew his face was still red as he felt his face burning.

“Arrange your things first, then come here for Stephen.” Jay said to him. Then Jay put Stephen inside it’s office living room where a lot of toys were spread in the space.

He smiled at the thought of Jay being so considerate of his brother. He never imagined Jay being like this as he know that the young-man, who’s caring for hi brother a lot, bedded different women every time. It’s women even came up to his office and did some ‘miracle’. He felt pity for those different women that the young man bedded on different night as he believes that women should be respected and not be treated like that. He hated Jay for some reason for doing that.

After arranging some of his things, he went Jay’s office to check on Stephen. He was surprised a bit though as Jay was not playing some games in his computer instead it was attending to his brother. His heart skipped a bit for that.

“Hey,” he catches the attention of two.

“Look Kuya! I have transformer here!” As Stephen raised an action figure of the transformer for him to have a look.

“Who bought you this?” He asked his Brother.

“It’s Kuya Jay’s!” His Brother returned back to playing the toys that Jay bought.

He approached Jay who seems to be finding something on he drawers of it’s desk.

“Do you need help? What re you looking for?” He asked to help Jay.

“Just finding some file, the contract for our investment on the Xingbao Incorporated.” Jay said without looking at him.

He automatically bent his knees to find the file on the lower drawers. He searched the file on the right side and Jay’s on the left side. Jay’s bent down while he is on his knees.

He holds the knob for the top shelf in the desk and Jay holds it too. His knees were naturally weak and it began to go weaker when their hands touched. With his cheek blushing, he face Jay who’s now smirking as if nothing happened between them. He tried to draw out his hand but jay’s grip got tighter.

“Wh-what are you doing?” His voice is tiny so that they can only hear each other.

“Nothing. I did nothing.” Jay said.

“Let go.” He made voice firm.

Then Jay let go of his hand and made his way to Stephen.

Jay’s POV

When he was done looking for the file n the left side, he holds the handle for the top but Nick was now handling for it.

““Wh-what are you doing?” He was cursing in his mind. It was the cutest! He knows that he have effect on Nick, His little bunny.

“Nothing. I did nothing.” He playfully said to Nick.

“Let go.” Nick’s voice firmed up signing a warning to him. He knew he’s in trouble when Nick’s voice go that way.

‘God, my little bunny. I am so under you’ he thought as he shook is head and start to look for the file again.

Nick’s POV

The morning came good and he didn’t know that it was now noon unless he looked at the clock in his table.

Jay called him through the intercom. “Order three trays of ood from the canteen.”

“Okay, sir. Anything you request?”

“Nothing.”

Then after the call he immediately called the canteen. “The VP has requested three trays of food. No special just his normal meals. Okay? Thank you.” In his 7 years of being secretary for Jay, he got the basics of the man. Like his dislikes, allergies, medications, and other needs. He has taken his job professionally. As his friends told him, he’s the best among the secretaries in their city and he has been known for it.

After his call to the canteen, he entered the office and didn’t bother Jay anymore as it was busy reading and signing papers. He picked up Stephen to have their lunch at the canteen.

“Where are you getting him?” he jumped a bit due to the sudden shock when Jay spoke.

“We’re going to the canteen to have our lunch.” He said, a bit shy.

“Did I say that you’ll eat there? I ordered three trays of food because you’ll eat here and not there. Now just sit on the sofa, we’re eating together.” Jay said to him in a very serious tone while looking at them intently.

Suddenly, Stephen’s stomach rattled singing that his Brother’s now hungry.

“Sit on the sofa I’ll get your biscuit. Okay?” He put down Stephen on the sofa, Stephen just nodded and he quickly left the office to get biscuit in his bag.

After he got the biscuit from his bag, he entered the office and found Jay sitting on the sofa while Stephen’s sitting on his lap. He found the scene so heartwarming, he never imagine someone take care of his brother like they’re real brothers. Now that he thought of it, jay and Stephen somewhat lookalike. They’ve got the same deep green eyes, lip shape and even the nose too! The two seems really lookalike. Though the chubby cheeks Stephen got isn’t the same with Jay. Jay’s cheeks were like firm. He’s sure that Stephen got the chubby cheeks from him and even the bunny teeth.

“Stephen, here’s your biscuit. It’s your favorite right?”

“No! Stephen don’t like that.” Stephen immediately provoked the biscuit he offered.

‘what is wrong with this kid?’ His brows furrowed at the action of the kid. It even crossed it’s arms and turned away it’s head.

“What do you want Stephen? Tell Kuya Jay and I will buy it for you.” Jay then turned his head to him and what do Jay want him to do? He just rolled his eyes and crossed his arms across his chest. He’s really busy, and this kid even have the guts to make him more stressed?

“I want pancake.” Stephen pouted his lips to Jay.

“Okay, little champ. Just wait and your pancake will be ready. Okay?” Jay said.

“Thank you Kuya jay! You’re really the best!” Stephen raised his thumbs.

‘Huh! Stephen even praised jay in front of him! So, What is he? The worst Kuya?’ He thought.
