The Classy Boss

Eighteen♡

Days passed by in a busy atmosphere. Everyone has been working hard for the past three days. They started working since morning and kept working over 9 pm these days. Everyone is putting their best in their work with complete attention. Sometimes, during break hours, the employees gather around and chat with each other for refreshment. But the moment they spot their manager, they rush back to their respective desks, not wanting to be nagged and told off to the boss!

Currently, it's 2 in the afternoon and they have got their meal delivered on their desks, as they don't have much time to walk to the cafeteria and come back after that. So, they have dragged there chairs in a circle and is having their lunch while talking with each other. They were talking bout variouse things of their interests, when Pond zoned out while thinking of something. Mix smacked him and remarks,

'' At least eat your meal properly, or you would have choked just now! What were you thinking?!''

He asks before stuffing a spoonful into his own mouth and starts chewing it.

"Umm..well, I was thinking that the meeting is on this friday. If we seal..I mean, we will surely seal the deal! But when it will happen, will boss treat us to drinks?!''

He looked lost in his thoughts while speaking and everyone let out a long sigh seeing him talking like a dumb.

Mix shaked his head slowly before swallowing the food in his mouth and after that he replied in a calm tone,

''Is it even something to ask? Sir has always been so kind to us. Whenever we work overtime, he not only adds bonus with our salary, but also treats us in his favorite club. It's fun! So, don't worry about it!! Now finish your food quickly, we have to go back to work.''

Pond acknowledges and nods his head slightly and continues eating. When Earth states,

''We only have a little work left. After that, we'll have to arrange It and prepare the presention.''

He pauses and then looks at Saint, who was focusing on eating and didn't notice Earth's gaze. He then pressed his lips in a straight line and dragged his chair near Saint and whispers,

''How's it going?!"

He speaks softly, so that others don't notice. Saint takes time to chew his food and then leisurely replies,

''I have prepared the designs you've asked and also changed the fabrics and patterns as per your and his suggestions. I just need to sketch down the final-''

Saint was speaking all at once, when Earth made him stop talking,

''Shush!! What are you talking about?! I didn't ask you about work, how can you be that dumb!''

He sighs while Saint looks at him being dumbfounded. Earth continues,

''I mean you and boss....he used to drop you at your place and all.. how far did it go?!''

He fixates his gaze at Saint, who was caught off guard by the sudden question. He didn't know what to say. Then he remembered about what Mew said the other day...rumors. He doesn't want people to think bad about him and gossip about them. So he pretended to chew his food, even though his mouth was empty. And then casually replied,

''What are you talking about? There's nothing like that. He just helped me out those days and I'm grateful for that. Don't say such thing. If he hears that, we'll be in trouble!"

He let out a chuckle to make it look natural and Earth rolled his eyes after hearing his made up story. But he believed it anyway. They finished their meal and then went back to work. And all of them started working enthusiastically again.

They have wrapped up their tasks for today and it's around 9.30 pm. Everyone was leaving one by one. There wasn't much paper works to do or review the works, as everyone has been very responsible and they are almost done with the drafts, so Mew is off his work early too. He was about to leave, then he thought of going to Saint and check on him. He thought, if he is done as well, then he'll drop him at his condo. He picked his work bag and handed it to JJ, instructing him to put it in the car and wait for him, and rushed to the elevator and pressed the button marked as 3rd floor. He was massaging his temple in the meantime when he finally reached the floor. A big smile beamed on his face.
