Monday.
"You asked for me, dad?" Win peeked through the door of his dad's office
His dad said, "Come in, son."
Win sit on the visitor's chair in front of his dad's work table
Dem started, "I just talked to Mr. Costel and he told me about Bright's plan to run a small woven company."
His father added, "He's also inviting me to be an investor."
Dem spoke again, "Why didn't you tell me about Bright's plan? I could've supported him right from the start."
Win responded, "Dad, I'm just letting Bright get to know more people just like he wants to."
Dem asked him, "Is he busy right now? Can he go here today?"
Win asked back, "Why? What for?"
Dem shrugged, "Well, I'll be a voluntary investor of his."
Then he asked his son, "Do you think he'll want that?"
Win shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, dad. Only one way to find out."
"Then ask him to go here now if he's not busy." said by his father
"Will do, sir." Win stood up and bowed down
His dad said, "Be here as well, alright?"
Win nodded, "Yes, sir."

"Book, you have Bright's personal phone number right?" Win entered his office, Book was behind him
Book answered, "Yes, sir."
Win sit on his swivel chair and said, "Kindly ask him if he's not busy as of the moment. Dad wants to have a meeting with him."
"Noted, sir." Book bowed down before leaving Win's office

"Sorry for the short notice, Bright. Thank you for coming." Dem said, shaking Bright's hand and they did a man hug after
Bright chuckled, "No problem, uncle." then they sit on the sofa
Then Dem's secretary opened the door, revealing Win
Dem smiled at Win, "You're just in time, son."
Win just smiled back at him
Bright froze for a while, Win sit on the sofa across from his dad
Bright was sitting beside Win's father
Dem started, "So, I just found out about your plan to run a small woven company from my good friend Mr. Costel."
"And I'm kinda sad that I had to find out about it like that." Win's father dramatically said
Win fought the urge to roll his eyes
Bright said, "Sorry about that, uncle. I didn't know you'd feel that way. I really had a plan about asking you to be one of my investors."
Win's father smiled, "Hey, I'm just kidding, but it's nice to know that you thought of me."
Then he asked, "Should we set up a meeting with Mr. Costel? That would be a good idea, right?"
Bright nodded, "Yes, uncle."
Dem asked Win, "What do you think, son?" they both looked at Win
Win nodded, "I agree that it's a good idea."
"I won't be there anyways. I have a lot of things to do." Win said, standing up
Win gave them a small smile, "With that being said, I have to go now." and slightly bowed down to show his respect then he left his father's office
Dem asked Bright, "What's up with you two? Did you guys have a fight?"
Bright sighed, "You can say that, uncle."
"I won't hold you back any longer. You can go and follow my son, I know you've been wanting to. Let's just talk more about this business with Mr. Costel." said by Dem
Bright stood up and gave him a wai, "Thank you, uncle."

Bright arrived in front of Win's office
Book immediately approached him, "Good morning, Mr. Mayor."
He asked Book, "Good morning as well, Book, is your boss busy right now?"
"He's on a phone call earlier —" the intercom cut Book off
"What's my next schedule, Book?" Win asked through the intercom
"He's free for the next 10 minutes, Mr. Mayor." Book said to Bright
Bright asked, "Should I just come in?"
"Yes, sir." Book nodded then h went back to his table to answer his boss
"Sir, you have 10 minutes of free time before your lunch meeting." Book answered back through the intercom
Bright knocked on the door first before opening it
Win looked away from his computer and looked at the door
Bright asked, "Can I come in?"
"Hmm." Win nodded, looking at him for a while before looking again at his computer
Bright quietly entered Win's office and headed straight to sit on the visitor's chair in front of Win's work table
Bright spoke first, "When am I gonna be unblocked, baby? You even told Book to message me earlier when you could've messaged me yourself."
Win answered, "Didn't I tell you? I'm just gonna stay still."
Bright asked him, "Hey, aren't we done with that conversation yet?"
Win gave him a bored look
"I only have 10 minutes of free time, Bright." Win sighed, looking at his computer again
He added, "You're just wasting it." then he asked him, "Aren't you busy?"
"I actually have somewhere to be right now but —"
Win cut him off, "Then what are you still doing here?"
Win looked at his wrist watch upon seeing that 10 minutes have already passed by, he stood up
Bright stood up as well and approached him with a hug
"I am very sorry for that night, babe." Bright tightened his hug on Win's waist
Bright added, "I'll make sure not to meet Des again, okay? I'll only meet her parents."
He kept on speaking, "Unblock me now, please? I missed you so much."
Win asked him, "You're aware that you're stalling both of our time, right?"
Bright whined, "They can wait."
Win teased him, "Wow, that's so unprofessional coming from you, Mr. Mayor."
Bright pulled away and gave him a playful glare
"Hey, seriously, we both need to go now." said by Win
Bright asked,"But are we okay now?"
"Hmm." Win nodded, rolling his eyes
Bright smiled and hugged Win again
Win couldn't help but to smile as well, hugging Bright back
"Hey, come on, time to go." Win chuckled, patting Bright's back
Bright pouted, "Give me a kiss first."
Win shook his head in amusement first before giving his boyfriend a kiss
