"Mr Kim can I ask questions if you don't mind"
"Go ahead,"
Damian had always been known as the curious kind. Some would say it was a very bad trait but then again he always had his reason for being interested in something
"It about Mr Lu, I'm not sure if you are comfortable speaking about him with me so.."
"You can go ahead, what do you want to know"
Damian had so much to ask and the fact that secretary Kim wasn't at all secretive was a good thing. He got to understand about everything about Lu and why he acted the way he did. Damian could not imagine losing his mum and having no body to talk for you, praise you, be proud of, hug and comfort when needed
"That's so sad, no wonder he is the way he is,"
"You see, he is not a bad person, the world just forced him to shut down everything and keep out the warmth"
After dinner with the family it was now time to go home. Lu seemed even colder than he was before and seeing this made Damian think maybe Lu wasn't that bad.
"Sir I have an idea, can I take you somewhere"
Lu was in no mood to argue with Damian and allowed him to do whatever he wanted. Mybe he would do something to anger him and he would let his frustrations on him.
"What is this place, trying to get your boss drunk on the first day of work. Do you want to loose your job that bad"
"One thing Jenny taught me is that, there is nothing in this world that can't be solved with a bottle or two of some very heavy alcohol. You are going to get drunk, most likely wake up to a hung over but you were going to survive"
"Well thats a stupid theory, "
"But you haven't tried it yet, how can you be so sure it's stupid"
Lu just kept wondering how this boy's brain worked. At one point he acted like a wild cat in need of taming but at other times, he just acted like this....
Lu and Damian literally understand the assignment. From one bottle to another. Expressing sides that they never thought they had. Lu felt looking at the drunk person dancing on top of the table, it was good that he didn't fear or admire him, because with him him he wasn't that cold and powerful CEO nor was he the most popular person in the country. Him being with Damian, he could be just Lu and that was something he was ok with.
"This isn't part of your job description"
"It's already past my working hours, and who told you I'm here as an employee"
"Then who are you here as?"
"That's a question only you can answer, Mr Lu"
They didn't know if it was the alcohol talking or the soft music playing in the background, but something about that moment just felt right.
..........................
Waking up to a bad headache wasn't always the best thing. But most definitely always a result of something good. Damian took some hung over medicine and took time to reminisce what happened the night before. Seeing Lu dance away all his hidden emotions, brought a smile on Damian's face. If someone had told him yesterday that he wouldn't hate Lu so much today, he definitely wouldn't believe them. But did he really hate him be for.
"Damian why do you look like you went dancing with a train, is the boss giving you so much headache that you couldn't sleep, it's all my fault we can quit now, I've always wanted to try farming"
"Don't be silly Jenny, we both know you definitely don't have a green thumb, you accually have the opposite, we would die broke and hungry,"
"Hey what's that supposed to mean,"
Damian certainly did enjoy teasing Jenny. Most people would mistake them for lovers. This wasn't odd Damian openly protected Jenny all the time. Which made Lu even more curious, what was their relationship.
"Secretary Kim, I want you to find every information about Jenny"
"You mean Damian's friend "
"Friends you say, well let's find out if that's all they are shall we, find out everything about her"
"Sir, what an unexpected visit,"
"I didn't know I needed permission to visit my brother,"
"That's not what I meant, but he is in a middle of a very important minute, can you wait"
" Ofcause I can, don't worry about me, go back to your post"
Han and Lu were born around the same time, despite their mother's beef they were the closest among all the siblings. When their father changed the will and made Lu his heir, alot of people thought that the two brothers friendship would be destroyed but weirdly it didn't. They already had a pact after Lu's mother died, that they would never let anything come between them but they should always check if the other is okay.
"Mr Han, I didn't know you would be visiting today, want some coffee"
"Ooh if it isn't Mr I love being a personal assistant other than a model"
"I didn't realize Mr Han held grudges, that's unlike what I thought"
"Quick to respond I see, well no one had ever turned down such an opportunity, I was surprised. But I'm sure you had your reasons, one's I would like to hear over dinner and I don't think I can take no for an answer this time"
"Mr Han is waiting for you in your office, sir"
"Where is Damian?"
"He's with him Sir"
Lu was always scary but secretary Kim and his subordinates had yet to see this side of him. Lu didn't know what made him dash out like that. Maybe it was that thought of how he smiled at Han and not him or maybe the fact that he couldn't tame his wild cat.
