A Fresh Start (A Lost Cause Sequel)

25 - Ring The Alarm

🐭War's POV

"I wanna go back to the US" Belle groans as she walks sluggishly into the house.

"It's not even 24 hours after we step off American soil, princess." Yin chuckles. She raised her hands indicating she wants to be carried. At this point, our pet name to her is apt. She's being carried everywhere like a princess.

Since she's tired from watching a lot of movies on the plane, she got to sleep earlier than expected. It's only 7PM though. With so much breaks we've taken, we both decided to work tomorrow. I mean, we should stay home for a day or two to rest, but we're fully rested.

It's one of the perks of planning the last couple of days of a trip with not much to do.

We were chill and we're well rested. The flight was comfortable too, we followed the time zone back home as soon as we enter the plane.

That way, you minimize the adjustment and it's almost no jetlag.

We got to bed after arranging out things for tomorrow. It'll be a ton of work after more than a week of not going to work.

"Stop iiiit! Enouuuuugh" I groan as I push him off me.

"But I won't get to kiss you for the next 9 hours or so." He murmurs before proceeding to kissing my cheeks repeatedly.

"You're the one who suggested this!" I reminded him.

"I know, I know. Fine. I'm done. Kiss yah later." He says before opening the door and we got out. We ride the elevator from the parking lot. Once we enter, he fixes his face and looks straight ahead.

When we stopped at the lobby, people got in. They greeted me good mornings and we exchanged pleasantries. I always make small talks. It's a way to connect with my employees.

"Mr. President, congratulations on getting married. Saw your IG post." One young woman said, I got a glance of her ID and saw she's from legal.

"Thanks. This is Yin. My husband." I introduced Yin whose standing beside me, dead as a doornail.

"Good morning, Mr. Yin." She says and Yin gave her a tight smile.

We arrived at his floor, 27th floor, and he gave a nod to me and then left the elevator. I ride up and more people leave their floors. Until it's just me and I arrived at the top floor and I got out and into the front desk where Kitty bowed.

"Here's for you." I told her, handing her a big bag of goodies.

If there's someone I need to kiss ass to, it's Kitty.

She's the best secretary I ever had. I need to take care of her so she doesn't leave me just yet.

"Ohhhh!!! That's a lot!!!" her eyes sparkle as she rummages through.

I bought her a pair of sneakers that I knew she wants, a coat, some figurines, some refrigerator magnets, some make up too. Just lipsticks since I have no idea of what her make up color is.

"No way." She breathes out. "No way!!" she held out a pair of Dior sunglasses.

"Don't fuss about it." I told her. "It's on sale." I whisper and give her a wink and she giggles.

"Yeah yeah. Still... these are all great. You didn't have to, Sir. Thank you so much." She says.

"Now." She says seriously. "Since you go off marrying and enjoying that short honeymoon, you'll be busy for the next three months." She said and I chuckle at her.

"Oh, I'm not kidding." She adds and goes on to lay out my schedule.

Damn it is quite a lot.

With my request to not work overtime in the office and no office work on the weekends, I have nothing but back-to-back to back meetings, report reviews, and a shit ton of planning that I need to do.
