"Everyone! Eyes up here!" Mr. Han said gaining everyone's attention, eyes focused on the three people behind him. The said interns that would be joining the team for two years.
"These are the new interns, they will be with us for two years and may or may NOT be retained by the company. Give your names interns", Mr. Han said turning to the young interns.
"Elizabeth Goners", "Remmy Jone", "Ethan Chandler".
"These are your desks and if you have any questions meet up with me or you can talk with these two...", Mr. Han said gesturing at a red haired lady and a blond man, "Risa and Gates, they are the department seniors", he informed and the two waved at them.
"Uhm... Are you male or female?" Gates asked smirking, Ethan blushed already uncomfortable but he sucked it in and answered. "Male", he mumbled, "as in biologically or you are one of those... How do I put it... I feel like a man-", "Gates! Shut the fuck up and be nice to the interns!" Mr. Han scolded.
He knew how close minded that man was, Gates hated the president, even more when he came out as gay. He was a chronic phobe and pretended to hide it with sick undermining jokes.
"Have your seats, for the mean time, you will only be analyzing documents. Just to see how they look like and how contracts are drawn up, do not mess with them or change anything. If you think there's a mistake in a file, report immediately to me or these two!" He warned and the three nodded as they sat at their desks.

"Sir, you can't leave until all these papers have been signed", Jesse said dropping fifty more files on Xavier's desk, "it will only take an hour, I want to greet the interns", Xavier said sliding the papers off the table nearly giving his secretary a heart attack. 'Millions of dollars on the floor!'
"Why do you need to greet them? You already did something as drastic as interviewing them personally!" He said picking up the precious papers. "Because he's there", Xavier replied and Jesse paused.
"You're doing all this just because of some college kid, Mr. President, back to work!" He growled slamming the papers on the table and stormed out of the office. "He didn't say I should read them", Xavier said writing his signature on all the papers one by one.
"If I get this done with, I can make a reservation at an hotel and take him there", he smiled to himself as he thought about all the naughty things he would do. 'Down boy, it's not time yet', he whispered to his groin.
"Mr. Xavier...", "Yes?" He answered his secretary who came back to check up on him. "I want you to read through them carefully, I'm not letting you set foot out of this office for the next two hours", Jesse said and locked the door from the outside.
Xavier returned to his files grumbling as he signed through the sheets, "I need to set him up with someone, being single all his life is taking a toll on him", he shook his head.

"Good morning", everyone said to themselves as they sat down in their desk, "uhm... Did anyone drop this on my table?" Ethan asked holding up a box of sliced cake. "Well, a delivery man came up and said it's for you. Is it your birthday today?" Risa asked.
He shook his head in reply, "then maybe it's from your significant other", she smirked and the entire office paused. Relationship gossips was the highlight of their day.
"Er... I don't have a significant other, maybe it was addressed to me by mistake", he reasoned but Risa shook her head, "nope, he asked for Ethan Chandler", she informed. "Maybe... Another Ethan Chandler", the office groaned a few smacking their foreheads.
"It looks expensive, check if there's a letter inside", Risa said and Ethan shrugged opening the box, "no letter inside it", he informed. "Well, just eat it then. Can't let a good thing just go to waste", he was told.
He sighed picking up the fork that was by it's side and took a bite, "it tastes like heaven and happiness". Silently thanking whoever it was that had sent him the cake, he dug right in.

"Darling, why is there a moving truck outside?" Mrs. Woods asked, "and why are there strangers in my home?" She asked sighting different men taking out what looks to be her son's things. Outside the window, she could see them loading the items in the truck.
"Good evening Mrs. Woods, I'm glad that you're here. Could you please talk to the president that he can't abandon his office because of love", Jesse said already tired of explaining to Xavier how important his job is.
"I am not abandoning my office, I'm just transferring myself. I want to personally oversee the growth of our new company, and I told you, I'll be here personally if there's any important meeting", Xavier asked signing off some papers and the truck roared to life in the background.
"Oh my son's in love, go for it! Just let me meet him some time, hmm?" Mrs. Woods said giggling, "what was I expecting, he's your son", Jesse cried leaving the house.
