11.

Jungkook barged into Jimin's office, causing the latter to glare at him. He stopped checking his emails and turned his swivel chair towards the former, who now stood beside him.

"Jungkook, we came here together. What do you want now?" Jimin asked annoyingly as the other stood there, trying to display his innocent doe eyes to the elder as if he were pleading for something, or maybe someone. Jimin sighed, shaking his head dejectedly before enquiring, "What do you want now?"

"I need a favour," Jungkook responded, causing Jimin to raise his brow as if he were questioning the younger to continue. "I need Stacy."

Jimin's pupils dilated. "Excuse me?" He yelled at Jungkook, glancing at him in a judgemental way. He ranked his eyes over Jungkook's body from head to toe and then settled his gaze on his eyes, staring right into his soul. 

He had known his friend all these years, and he knew that Jungkook was a flirty guy. But how could he say something like this about his assistant? Stacy had been working with Jimin for a few years and was a decent girl. He didn't like it a bit when Jungkook said something like this.

"Please don't get me wrong. What I meant was, can you allow her to work with me for a few days? I have some work, and you know my assistant resigned as she got married." Jungkook let out a sheepish smile as he scratched his nap out of nervousness. He understood how wrong that sounded, and now he felt guilty. He would never think like that about Stacy.

Jimin heaved a sigh of relief. "We told you to hire one."

"Dude, I don't have time for such nonsense things. Will you allow her?" Jungkook questioned him again, feeling agitated now. Hiring an assistant was a hectic job. First, he was supposed to take an interview, select a suitable candidate, train them, and then keep up with their imperfections till they were trained. 

Now you might ask why he would hire an imperfect assistant. Well, no one can judge a person within a day or two. What if he learns about those negative qualities after a month or two? In that case, he would have to go through the whole hassle all over again.

So hiring someone? No thanks! It's better to borrow Jimin's assistant.

"Yes, why not. I don't have too much workload right now. If I require assistance, I can contact Ana." Jimin shrugged his shoulders, not really thinking much about his statement. 

"You like her a lot, don't you?" Jungkook inquired; his brows wiggled curiously as he chuckled when he noticed the other's widened eyes, who soon pulled a poker face.

"I thought you didn't have time for nonsense things," Jimin said, raising his brow. He smirked victoriously, causing Jungkook to roll his eyes. "Whatever. Send Stacy right after I leave. I have a lot of work to do."

"As if we are here to party." Jimin chuckled when Jungkook displayed a middle finger as he walked towards the door. "Whatever."

"Jungkook! Today should be the last day for Stacy to have lunch with us in the dining." Jimin's stern words made the younger halt. He quickly turned his heels, glancing at the caramel-haired male, not understanding what he was trying to say.

"What does that mean?" He shifted his attention back to the voice; confusion was visible on his face.

"Don't you remember how we told Ana that you will be busy with your work? That excuse wouldn't make any sense if Stacy joins us for lunch every day while you don't."

"But I won't be at the office. I need to feed our baby Tae." Jungkook responded quickly in a duh tone, rolling his eyes. He thought his friend was stupid.
