Chapter 2: Started from "mochi"

(Hi everyone! So in this chapter, the story is gonna be in Athena's pov)

"Well we meet again Coffee shirt" –

And I had to do something utterly stupid.... I laughed ... I don't know why I laughed, but that situation was awkward and it's a habit of mine to laugh in awkward situations...

"I'm sorry, is there something funny?"

I suddenly froze. "Oh, hmm coffee shirt haha nice joke Mr. hm yOU" (SERIOUSLY WHY?)
I was internally crying, I'd rather be eaten by an oompa loompa rather than facing through that moment again.

"Well, I'll take that as a compliment, I am a funny guy, now please go to your desk, it is located near Ms Shelby's desk which is the desk that has guns and roses decorations everywhere, on your desk you'll see 30 pages of our company's sales data, you have to analyze and write me a report about it, the due time is this night" said Mr.Zhong seriously.

"Ok sir haha.. this night? aRE yOU sure?" I said with a squeaky voice. (please this is getting more embarrassing)

"Coffee shirt, for 26 years I've lived, I have never been not sure of what I said," Mr.Zhong said this statement in a deadly serious tone,

"Got it sir, thankyou" I replied then I went to my desk thinking that my first day couldn't get any worse.

Now I am more sure about my judgement of him.

It's already 11 pm, everyone in my floor has already went home and I'm done with my work, "FINALLY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I AM DONE, now I'm gonna give it to that snobby man, go home, order Mexican food from postmates and treat myself a glass of wine"

Then there was this squeaky door opening sound.... What is it?

"Well coffee shirt, looks like you also have a nickname for me? Snobby man? It isn't really creative I must say," he said with the most sarcastic small laugh I've ever heard while walking to my desk.

"No, pfft sir I wasn't talking about you.. it was about the buritto guy haha." (I think I need help with my communicating skills)

He then reached out his right hand, so I gave him my work. He looked through all 3 pages of my report, but it was so fast that I couldn't believe he read anything from it.

"Hmm... Ok coffee shirt, I'll wait for a new one tomorrow, good night." He said while heading to the elevator with no further explanations.

So I tried to stop him cause I didn't know what he meant by new one, "Mr.Zhong, wait! What do you mean by new one? May I know the revisions?" I said while walking fast trying to get a statement before he heads into the elevator, so i blocked his way.

He suddenly stopped his strolling. "cOFFE Shirt cOFFEE SHIRT coffee shirt.. isn't it obvious?"

I had enough.. I am tired, my blouse reeks coffee, so I said this to him, "Excuse me! You are my boss, you should be guiding me on my first day!"

"I'm your boss, not your mentor, I say what I think about your work, that's what I do" he said with that snobby face of him.

I was so angry that he was that careless of a person, "OK BOSS, now hear me out, you are the most despicable man I have ever worked with, you are sarcastic but not in a good funny away, YOU AREN'T EVEN FUNNY,STOP THINKING THAT YOU ARE, and my nickname for you was accurate ok stop calling it not creative, do you think coffee shirt is a creative nickname?" I said those sentences with all my energy, (ok I was really shocked with myself... but it is what it is, those words just came out)

Mr.Zhong then looks at me in the eyes getting closer to me with a shocked expression,
(I assume no one has said those things to him ever)
*Ding .... The elevator door opened, then he walk passed through me to get in the elevator.
