Jean's POV

It's almost time to get off work, what should I have for dinner? Did Marco cooked? Does he know how to cook? He looks like the type of person that knows how to cook but is clumsy. "Boss, I'm sorry to bother you right now but you got a meeting", what the...which son of a bitch decided to make a sudden meeting with me when it's almost time to got off work? "Who is it?", I asked, "It's about the new product", she said. "I'll be in the meeting in a min, tell them to wait in the meeting room", I said standing up. She closed the door and left, I fix my tie and head to the meeting room, I open the door. There's three men sitting in the room, "Hello Jean I finally got to see you face- to-face", a man said shaking my hand. "I am Mr. Lee, these two gentlemen are my brothers", he introduced the other two men to me. "Pleasure to meet you", I said shaking their hands, "So the new product, so you have an example of it?", Mr. Lee asked. "Yes here is the design of it", my secretary handed me three files, I put it in the table. They took a look at it, "The designs not bad" "Is it heavy?", one of his brother asked. "No, it is not, it is actually comfortable to hold it", my secretary hand me three boxes of it, I place it in front of them and handed them a piece of paper. They open the box, "You're it's not heavy at all", he started scribble on the paper. "It's smooth to write" "How much are you selling it?" "150$, other of my products are indeed expensive, I've decided to lower the price on this one", I explained. "Alright then, it is approved, send me the paperwork tomorrow I'll sign it", they said getting up. "Will do and thank you", I said opening the door for them, I can finally go home now. "Boss, tomorrow you have lunch with Mr. Kim and-" "Leave the tomorrow stuff to tomorrow, I'm gonna head home, you should too", I said loosening my tie.

I got to the parking lot, I got in my car and started driving, god my back hurts from sitting all day in the office. It's 6:56 p.m., maybe Marco bought dinner already? Or maybe he cooked? But what he would cook there's nothing in my house for him to cook, I really should do some grocery shopping. I've reached the parking lot, I parked my car and got to the lift. "Bzz...bzz...", I picked up the phone, "Hey mom" "Jean, what did you had for dinner?" "I haven't eat yet I just got back" "So what are you going to eat?" "I don't know, maybe Marco bought something for dinner already?", I take out my keys. There's sizzling sounds, I place my ear on the door, sounds like Marco is cooking. "I'll hang up now, I'll call you tomorrow", I said hanging up, I unlock the door and walk in. It smells nice, I take off my shoes and put it on the shoe shelf, I put my keys and walk closer to the kitchen, I look to my left, Marco is wearing an apron cooking. He turn to me, "Oh, you're back! Go change into some comfortable clothing, dinner is almost ready", he said smiling at me. I eye down to his chest, there's a Hello Kitty print on the apron, isn't that the one that Erwin Smith gave me? He noticed me staring at the apron, "I found these in the drawer, I didn't know you were into Hello Kitty", he said. Fuck, he got the wrong idea, I should've gave it to Sasha when I first got it, "I'll go change first", I said. I washed my face and change into comfortable clothing, I usually shower first, but I don't want to leave Marco waiting for me. I sat down at the kitchen counter, he place down a plate of spaghetti in front me, it's steaming hot, the sauce in it smells nice. He take off the apron and put it aside, "Here you go", he hand me a fork, I started eating. It's good and not bad, the sauce is on point, what did he add in it, "It's good", I said, "I'm glad you're enjoying it", he said, "I'm not actually into Hello Kitty", I said. "What?", how do I start? "I got it as a gift from Erwin Smith", I said, he look at me, "Do you mean the actor?", he asked. "Yea, I was invited to an interview, there were a few famous actor on set, I was asked to draw something for Erwin and his husband and I drew this", I take out my phone and him the drawings.
