Just them in me

Professionalism

A/N: NewTay as assured

"Khun New you had drinks, you shouldn't be driving, Let me call for a driver," Tay said when he saw New leaving the empty dining hall after the business dinner ended. 

"Why, You can't drive?" New challenged

"I, It's better for a professional to drive you Khun New, I am afraid my driving skills are not that good" Tay informed

"It's fine, It's too late for any traffic, Here, Drive me home," New said handing Tay the keys

Tay looked at Keys doubtfully... "Is that an order?" 

New shook his head... "We are off duty, You are not my Assistant anymore, So this is just a request, I have something to talk to you about" 

Tay then silently took the keys and lead toward New's car... Once New had strapped in, Tay turned to New from the driver's seat.... " Let's talk until your driver arrives"

New sighed... "Why are you so stubborn?"

Tay shrugged. 

New nodded.. "Fine" He then removed the seat belt and turned to Tay... "I like you"

Tay's blank face didn't show any changes... "I know... Now that you have let that out, Would you be able to work with me comfortably from tomorrow?"

New frowned... "What?"

"Khun New, I could say that you have started taking an interest in me, But you know that it's not professional of you to think like that about your assistant. So please can you stop feeling like this, can we go back to being professionals?" Tay asked coldly

"That's not fair, I am a professional and I am being professional, There is nothing wrong with liking someone" New argued

"But I am your assistant" Tay pointed out

"In the office, during working hours, Why is what we do for a living a reason to reject me?" New questioned

"You are sounding dumb now, Do you have any idea what will happen if gossip starts spreading about us?" Tay questioned back

"Why is what we do in our personal time anyone's business?" New retorted

"I can't say anymore if you are acting dumb or you are actually this naïve" Tay rubbed at his head

"Doesn't matter, I just have one question for you Tay, Can I court you or Can I not?" New repeated

"You can not, Your driver is here, Have a good night" Saying that Tay left the car to find the driver

Next Day, Tay was at his desk when he was disturbed... "P'Tay, Is Khun New available? Need to talk to him about this Quarter's Marketing Plans" Marketing Head Joong smiled cheerfully

"Good Morning to you too Nong!" Tay replied... "He is in a meeting with Over-sea's team, it will take a while" 

"Aw, P'Tay, When can I see him today then?" Joong whined. He is close to Tay as they both went to the same college. 

"Well, Let's see, He is available at 4 PM, Do you want me to block it?" Tay asked checking New's schedule

"Ahh, No, P' I have townhall with my department at 4" Joong shook his head

"Right!" Tay sighed... "Hmm, I don't generally book anything for him during lunch, but if you really need this to be done today then I can arrange a lunch meeting for you"

Joong thought for a couple of seconds... "No, P, It's okay, How about you pass the presentation to Khun New for today, so he can take a look at it first and set me up a meeting with him tomorrow?"
