Chapter 3

The manhua "The Essence Of Spring" was written by one of the most promising author contracted by their company; he was known as 'Huā Tóng, signed under Chen Ai's management. Because of the editor's issue that they almost lost their heads, Chen Ai drowned the team in exhaustion just to finish the manhua with him as an editor. Even though Chen Ai had big dark circles under his eyes, his face remained beautiful and elegant like a jasmine flower.

However, his team members were looking like monkeys who haven't had a meal for years. Their heavy dark circles almost resembled a panda, their lips paled and they were soulless.

Why do they feel like they regretted entering the company? Their boss was a ferocious demon ah! Good thing that they are still alive now considering they felt like dying for God knows how many hours they stared at the computer. And their misery didn't end after that because their boss was in a bad mood.

Chen Ai had been problematic after the due date because a certain gorilla kept pestering him until he almost exploded from the irritation. At this time at work, no one will bother him doing something or else, he will roar with utmost strength, unleashing the ferocious ghoul kept within his big, humble heart. Who knows what will happen to them; it's better to die peacefully than to die facing the demon Buddha.

In short, he had a bad temper.

The beautiful beta stared at his phone, silently murdering the culprit who made the call despite the looks of calmness wolfed his face.

'This goddamn gorilla really needs to go in the zoo. Or else, I'll skew him to death if I see him.'.

As a 'calm' and 'dignified' beta, Chen Ai picked up the phone and answered the call.

"Yes, Manager Chen speaking. How may I help you?" Chen Ai asked, the smile that doesn't look like a smile crept up his face. The team members silently cursed the person who called the manager just now, but they couldn't do anything. They couldn't even move from their own space.

"Manager Chen, this is Wei Jian from the CEO department. Mr. Shen wants to talk to you this afternoon." Chen Ai rolled his eyes and massaged his temples, he couldn't help but to scream in his heart: "I want to sleep dammit!"

Truth to be told, he didn't even changed his clothes just yet. That's why, he thought he smelled like horse dung. He looked at the phone miserably as the person across the neighboring office still waiting for his reply.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wei but I think I need to go home yet. I'll let you know when I'm ready." Even though he didn't like the CEO, he still had his dignity. What if he smells so bad that the CEO might faint due to this? He couldn't bear that humiliation.

"Then, Mr. Chen please contact me any further. Have a pleasant day."

Tut--tut---

Pleasant day my ass!

Chen Ai clicked his tongue in annoyance and put the phone back to the desk. He leaned on the chair and heaved a sigh. How could this day so damn a pain in the ass? Chen Ai cursed inside his thoughts.

He was already drained, almost like a twisted pitiful cloth, looking at his team members who were helplessly glued on their chairs.

"What are you all waiting for? You want to live here?"

"No Sir!"

"Then get out." Chen Ai said calmly. The crowd dispersed at the same time disappointed, it seemed that their awesome 'angel' manager forgot his promise to have their own banquet.

They learned their lesson, they shouldn't have assumed that their manager was an angel who descended from the heavens, instead a demon who ascended from the Hell. He was so cruel ah!

Chen Ai watched them leaving, his eyes drooping from the exhaustion as they counted them like sheep. Immersed on his thoughts, he then woke up from the daze and saw Cheng Li walked towards his desk.

Cheng Li was a beta woman, well, all of his colleagues were betas. As a hardworking and a strict manager in the company, no omega would dare enter his management. No alphas either, Chen Ai was so perfect that the alphas who worked on his management got offended by his perfection.

"Mr. Chen, Miss Xiang kept calling the office's number from yesterday. She wanted to talk to you." Cheng Li said with annoyance. Who would dare bother his beautiful boss after work?! Does she have any shame!?

"Should I call her over?" Cheng Li asked. Chen Ai looked at her and smiled: "Just leave that rotten rat be. I couldn't afford arguing with her now or else, I might have done something I shouldn't have."

Cheng Li was satisfied hearing Chen Ai's answer and bowed respectfully. She then walked out of the office. As for Miss Xiang, she was deliberately ignored by Chen Ai.

He stretched his neck that was fully numb after staring at the computer and editing for a long time. He slammed his palm on his face when he realized that there was a small bump after touching the skin.

"!!!"

Is this what they called pimple? The most beautiful and elegant beta had a pimple on his face?! Chen Ai felt that he was being poured by ice water, he felt cold and distressed as he touched the small lump again.

"Aiyo!" He exclaimed as he grabbed the mirror on the table and checked his face. Not just a small lump, but a big, red, volcano-like pimple. For the first time he encountered such horrible, frightful, and ghastly day. How could he maintain his beautiful perfection if he had a volcano on his face? Such despicable experience.

Starting this afternoon, he will get a deep beauty sleep and let this volcano erupt and eradicated. This volcano is dangerous for his beautiful life!

He rashly packed his things and walked out of the office. He was covering his face like he was having a pitiful cold and dare not to stare from the people who passed him. As he hastily went out of the company, he immediately grabbed his car keys and drove back to his house.

He needed to sleep, a long, beauty sleep.

However, a certain gorilla kept waiting for him at the gorilla's cage. The assistant gorilla went inside the office without a notice, startling the boss gorilla.

"So?" Shen Xi asked. Wei Jian, the alpha male assistant pushed his eyeglasses and said to Shen Xi: "He said that he'll call you if he have time. Judging from his voice, he had an overtime on his assigned project and definitely needs rest."

Shen Xi paused. So, he was waiting for nothing? Why is this beta so hard to get? It felt like every time he put his eyes on him, he eventually disappears. Moreover, Shen Xi smiled faintly and looked at the file on his hand. He stared at Chen Ai's face that seemed more beautiful than a finest model and chuckled lightly.

"Well this is interesting." The alpha said, amused. Wei Jian looked at the overbearing CEO and sighed. Sometimes, his boss could be a bit naughty and tricky. But who the hell said that he was going to be this wacko's assistant?! Wei Jian frowned gloomily and secretly wished to go home and sleep.

"Okay, your work is done. You can go back."

"..."

'One more word or I'll kick this monkey's ass.' Wei Jian sighed, thinks ng why did he end up following his cousin and working as his assistant? He looked more like a handsome spy.

Maybe he could change his occupation later.

As Wei Jian went out, Shen Xi checked Chen Ai's assigned project, 'The Essence Of Spring'. As expected, one chapter has been uploaded yet but the sales were skyrocketing. He sure knows how to manage his team well, not knowing that Chen Ai's team members almost became malnourished statues. Their manager was ferocious ah!

In Chen Ai's house, the beta who was covering his face with facial mask reclined on the bed, he was majestically sleeping while beautifully drooling on his face. Even his white cat Rouye couldn't bear to look at him.

'Why is this eunuch drooling on the bed while I'm suffering from hunger? Does he have no shame?' The white cat Rouye licked his paws and slapped it on Chen Ai's face. However, no matter how strength he build up from his paws, he still couldn't wake Chem Ai up.

"Meowowowow meow meow meow?!!" 'Despicable eunuch! You dare sleep in front of this Emperor's face?!!'

However, despite his complaints, the beautiful beta didn't wake up. Rouye sighed with a 'meow' and picked up his own food. A fact, his servant is really useless. He couldn't even manage his body well.

He should be considerate today.

On Chen Ai's perspective, he was dreaming something...scary.

He dreamed that he was in a forest, full of flowers and flying butterflies. He was just strolling around when the scene changed.

Wait---what's this?!

Why is the gorilla chasing him?! He was scared and distressed that the gorilla kept eyeing on him as if he was a delicious prey.

Chen Ai, as a prey, ran away as fast as he could so that a certain predator couldn't get him. However, the gorilla was so fast that he pounced against him. Then, his expression grew dim. The gorilla actually speak!

"Come, let's make a baby."

Chen Ai screamed 'WAHH!' until his voice hoarse, then he woke up in a slumber.

Damn it, starting that day he unlocked a new fear. He hated gorillas.
