YanJun felt his heart race. He knew what the man meant by that and the heat in his face increased. He was sure his ears must have gotten red. This was so embarrassing!
Mingyu smiled to see his baby so shy and cutely. He looked at waved when YanJun hurriedly pressed on a random floor number to leave that place immediately.
He touched his heated face when the door of the elevator closed and glanced at the guard accompanying him. The guard was forced to press on the floor the boss' office was on when the elevator stopped on the floor he pressed.
An apology was at the tip of his tongue but he concluded that the person who should have apologized for stressing the man was the boss who caused it all. He could not believe that the man could be so thick-skinned.
It was after all a fact that he knew nothing about the man and he concluded that he was not interested since he dragged into the man's private life against his wish.
When he got to that floor, he received a few glances, after all, he was a new face and he did not dress seriously like the rest of them. He got the attention of many others when he began walking down the corridor to the boss' office behind the boss' guard.
They only glanced and were well behaved enough to look away without gossiping among themselves despite the curiosity that filled their eyes as they looked at the young man who was very familiar.
It was not surprising to see celebrities in the building but only the young man was lucky enough to get taken to the boss' office. They would have had the other guards on that floor stop the young man if he was alone but seeing that he was under the protection of the boss' most trusted guard, they could only watch him approach the boss' office.
When YanJun entered the office, he could finally sigh in relief. Their glances felt like darts against his back and it only made him nervous.
He knew a few of them would recognize him maybe even more than he thought at that moment and he was not scared of that but what he dreaded was the fact that they might guess who he was to their boss.
When Mingyu's guard walked out of the office, he hurried to the work desk and pressed the start button of his computer. This could be the moment he gets a way to speak to his girlfriend.
There was a password and he tried so many random numbers and when he failed for the fortieth time, he rested against the back rest of the chair and groaned in frustration. Could he get a phone to borrow from one of the staff?
It took him a while to make up his mind. He stood up and walked to the door. When he opened the door, Mingyu's guard was standing at the door. He smiled at the tall me making him raise his head to meet his gaze.
"I am thirsty, could you get me my favorite soft drink?" he asked the man softly with a warm tone.
The man shook his head but said nothing.
YanJun clenched his fist as the only thing holding him back from punching the man was the difference in their size. "It will be bad for me to let your boss know about it, right?"
The man bowed to him before turning and looking away like he had not moved at all.
"I want to drink my favorite soft drink. I am craving it," YanJun was forced to whine like a child. "Do you think I will be able to run away with the number of guards out there?"
The man looked straight ahead without glancing in his direction. YanJun felt a strong urge to groan in frustration but he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"I will get it myself then." He began walking away and when the man did not stop him, he continued before stopping in front of the first woman he met. He smiled sweetly at her.
She blushed slightly before returning his smile. She wanted to pass the other way and leave but he blocked her part. "I am very sorry sister but I need your help," he pleaded with a sad smile.
She raised her eyebrows shocked that he was asking for her help, especially with that man behind her. "Could I borrow your phone?" he asked her without hesitation. He glanced at the man behind him afterward.
She paused most likely trying to convince herself that she did not hear wrong. Some of her coworkers glanced at them making her blush slightly after all the young man in front of her was so handsome.
"I . . ." she began as she dug her hand into the pocket of her stylish jacket.
"I need to call a friend of mine," he told her seriously to erase every misunderstanding.
She blushed slightly in embarrassment as she stretched her phone towards her but the boss' guard took it from her instead of the beautiful slender hand stretched towards her.
YanJun felt a strong urge to jump and wrap his hand around this big man's neck from behind while scratching his face as best as he can. The man was messing up his plan. He thought the guy wanted to stand on the side like a statue and would not intervene.
He glared at the man before walking back to the boss' office.
"You should not give strangers your phone," the guard warned the woman before giving her her phone.
Looking at the departing back of the guard, she could not help but feel her heart race. She never knew he had such a beautiful deep voice since he seldom spoke in her presence. She looked at the phone he had just given her and the pink tint of her face increased.
YanJun decided to go for plan B when he returned to the office. He dialed his girlfriend's number on the fancy vintage telephone he saw. He flexed his free hand nervously when it began to ring. His hand holding the receiver against his ear shook slightly.
