New update:-

The youngest CEO of the three companies are collaborating together. Media wants to know who's the most handsome bachelor of the year. Do vote and comment, the rank board will be shown within three days.

So, here was a new day with an update in their business app, who was the handsome CEO. Bright, Dew, Josh were participating in it as according to employees they were the most charming bosses of the company.

Bright had a smug face after seeing the post, he sipped his coffee. "My Bella knows the answer very well" He sighed happily.

Win was in dilemma, his finger halted at the post, after joining the app he came to know that this app was full on business mood, and media also keep tab with the employees. He was nervous whom to vote. He knew three of them, he had a good bond with them, but the problem is whom will he vote for, he can already see the vote numbers going up and down on the screen.

I don't know whom to choose, here if I choose Mr. Josh, Bright will be jealous, but he was so good with me I can't upset him, he even helped me with the construction plan. If I choose Mr. Dew, Bright will still be jealous, he's also too good, I worked for him for so many years he even helped me with my family issues. But if I choose Bright, things will go in a bad direction, that girl already started spilling some horrible gossips regarding me in office, even the employees are awkward with me. This thing surely will end up in a bad situation if I vote Bright. But he's my lover. Dew... Josh.. Urgh!! Win exhaled loudly.

He kept his phone away, pouting in frustration. It was lunch time, Win went to the canteen to have his lunch. He sat down on a table with his food tray and drink. He took his phone, scrolling up the news feed, his phone pinged.

Tiger ❤
You haven't vote yet?😤

My future husband❤
I will.. Later let me eat first
I'm hungry

Tiger❤
Then why are you tapping your phone, EAT FAST!

Win frowned and looked up, he saw Bright was back facing him near the counter, his eyes hardened at the same girl who was trying to converse with Bright. Win gritted his teeth, and typed

My future husband❤
NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! 😒

H

e kept his phone down and ate his food with anger. Bright on the other side frowned seeing the text, he was a bit sad on why he reactes in that way, he thought he would probably get a chessy or sweet text from Win. But got none.

"Sir.. I voted for you" The girl said. Bright didn't pay attention his eyes were on the screen, mind was wandering around the question 'Why Win reacted this way'. "Sir?"

Bright looked up "Anything important you want to say, inform it to my PA" He took his tray and went away. While walking, he saw Win munching his food with a deep frown. He walked to that way and sat on the opposite side of the bench. Win flinched, he still had his spoon between his lips, eyes widened. He heard some murmurs, he turned his head back to see the employees whispering in each other's ear looking at them.

Win closed his eyes and sighed. "Sir.. Can't you sit somewhere else please?" Bright didn't answer, he scooped his food and ate it.

"Sir.. Try to understand" Win warned him in a hush tone. Bright glanced up "Why should I sit somewhere else, when my PA is here alone?" Win blushed, he hung his head down continued eating.

"Um here your favorite" Bright pushed the chicken soup bowl towards Win. Again murmuring voice echoed around. "I-I don't need" Though he wanted to eat it but he resisted his hunger.

"Eat I said" Bright said. Win shook his head. Bright clenched his jaw "Then I'll throw it" He was about to take it away, but Win snatched it. "No need, people don't get food and you're wasting it like nothing" Win glared at him. Bright smirked "Ok Master" He said in a low tone, which can be heard by Win only.
Win gulped and sipped on the soup.

Bright was just peeking at his phone second by second just to see Win's vote. But Win didn't vote anyone till now. Bright was getting impatient, he was getting a bit insecure about himself

What happened to him? Am I not handsome for him? Literally all the people are voting for me, but he isn't. He's in the app right? Yah he is, I checked his profile thrice, why isn't he voting me.

He heard a knock, his eyes widened in hopefulness thinking it was Win. The door opened, that girl, Bright's eyes turned into emotionless within a fraction of second.

"Yes?"

"Sir, Mr. Dew and Mr. Josh is coming in our office. They told me to inform you" She smiled sweetly.

Bright looked away "Fine" She pouted, Bright looked up "Anything else?" She shook his head, shyly tucking her hair strands behind her ear. Bright sighed "Go do your work" She nodded and walked away.

What's wrong with this bitch. Bright again looked at his phone. The door was knocked again, his eyes lit up, but it was Dew and Josh. His hope blew away, "What's with that face?" Dew asked. Bright slumped his shoulder on the couch "Nothing"

"Hey, did you check your votes?" Josh asked. Bright nodded. "Bro is literally on the top huh?" Josh teased, Dew fist bumped with his. Bright clicked his tongue "I don't care" He made an annoyed expression.

"Why dude? People are head over heels with you, so why not? Oh I haven't seen your secretary where is he?" Josh asked. Bright frowned at the sweet tone.

Suddenly the door opened "Sir.. Mr. Roy---oh, uh, I'm sorry I'll come back later" Win said, "Hey no need come inside" Josh smiled.

Win stepped inside. "How are you nong Win?" Win smiled "I'm fine Phi Dew" Dew nodded. "Hey call me phi too, no need to be formal with me" Josh said. Win stayed still, his eyes darted towards Bright who was slowly shaking his head. Josh saw Bright "Oh come on, he won't do anything. I'm your friend after all" Bright's eyes widened at the mention of 'friend'

"Uh.. Yes.. Yes p-phi Josh" Win said, feeling nervous looking at Bright's bad mood. They talked for a few minutes, Win walked back to his cabin.

"When did you become his friend?" Bright hissed. Dew smirked, Josh raised his hands up "Who wouldn't want to be his friend? He's so easy to be with, if I can I'll make him my husband" He chuckled. Bright stopped himself from killing Josh in the spot.

It was night time, Win was playing with Lily, Bright was looking at his phone, they were at Bright's mansion.

Bright's eyes widened Win voted to Dew. He snapped his head at Win, he gritted his teeth. Win felt goosebumps on his nape, he looked around to see Bright glaring at him. Oh no.

"Lily baby, you go inside, I'll call you for dinner" Lily nodded and ran to her room. Win stood up, he walked towards Bright who had a sullen face. "Uh.. Bright"

"Don't talk to me" Bright was pouting. Win smiled seeing the big whiny baby, he sat beside him "What do you want to eat for dinner?"

"I don't want to eat" Hmph. Bright looked away.

"Are you serious Bright? You're sulking over that simple vote?" Win asked. Bright looked at him "But it means a lot to me" He looked away again.

"Many employees voted you" Win said. YOU DIDN'T Bright puffed up his cheeks in anger. "Well Dew is also handsome you know" Win said. Bright glared at Win "No he's not, he's an ugly frog" Hmph stupid frog stupid Dew. Win chuckled, he leaned to Bright's face and smooched his cheek "Dew is handsome but God took his sweet time to create my tiger" He kissed his cheek again.
