Love Mr. Client

Chapter 10. Will we be able to Solve this?

New's pov:

Tay sat there, devastated, on his chair once Manaow left not knowing what to do with that dangerous information. I came and sat beside him. I touched his hand in an attempt to comfort him. "What do we do now?" I asked. The company I had previously worked for had gone through similar situations but the thing was, I wasn't involved. And now that this all was happening of my own designs, I really didn't what the company was about to do.

"I don't know. But I think we should report this to the police first." Tay replied. He got up and began going downstairs. I followed after him.

Tay grabbed Naow's hand softly and started dragging her. She complained at first but eventually calmed down."We need to report this to the police."

I went after him but he stopped me midway as he dragged her to the car, "New, I think you should stay here and take care of things."

I didn't know how to feel about him going there alone with Manaow but I trusted him. I let him go and tried to take care of the employees who were being nosy, trying to listen to the situation, "Go back to work!" I slightly shouted and they all listened to me.

After an hour or two, I heard a knock on the office door where I was sitting and trying to complete my new design. I opened the door and immediately saw Manaow crying and Tay comforting her.

I felt something in my stomach, something I've never experienced before, probably jealousy. I felt jealous but it wasn't his fault. Someone crying next to me, if I was him, I'd do the same.

But a slight touch of happiness also lingered inside me, by the sight of Tay, who I usually comforted, being stable enough to comfort someone else. I felt proud. I felt proud seeing Tay being who he was. Going back to the clumsy, kind Tay who I knew even after everything. It reassured me that I was capable of getting his life back in track, that I was capable of being his comfort zone.

I let them in and whispered to Tay, "what happened?"

"Oh, she's just emotional after the burden of the memories got out of her." He whispered back.

"What did the police say?" I asked, sitting next to her and also comforting her by rubbing her back.

Her crying slowly stopped and she removed our hands from her back and hugged Tay. Tay got shocked by the sudden touch and looked at me, stunned as well. He gave a look of concern and rubbed her back awkwardly. "Thank you, boss."

"It's okay." Tay's eyes were still at my expressionless face, looking at him, obviously jealous. I couldn't hold it back.

He then detached his body from her slowly, trying to keep a distance. "You're okay, right? Are you sure you can get back to work? Or should I book a cab to drop you home?"

Tay showing his concern and care towards her made that weird feeling increase. He had never acted this way with anyone before. Then why did he act differently with her? Was I the reason he had become so caring towards everyone? Was I overthinking? Would it seem stupid if I talked to him about this?

Manaow preferred to stay at office and finish her work. Tay let her go back to work and walked to me. His hand roamed to my face as I intentionally poured my lips."New, what happened? Are you jealous?'' he asked hugging me from behind.

"I am." I was honest. I hated having misunderstandings among each other.

"Aww... Are you mad, baby?" He replied which ended up making me blush rather than getting mad.

"I can't be mad if you be like this. But you just comforted her and neglected me." I said, sulking and crossed my arms, turning back to face the wall and not Tay's lovely face looking at me.

"Are you sulking?" He turned my face back to him with his big hands and poked my cheek. "It's okay, baby. I'm here now. All yours." He admitted.

I slightly smiled and touched my hot and bothered cheeks, "Don't call me baby! It's giving me goosebumps!" I faked a look of disgust and hit his head lightly.

"Ouch.." he shouted. He's so dramatic and childish! "Baby, baby, baby, babe, bae..." He whispered into my ear, teasing me. His words got smaller with every call. He really is a child.

I couldn't help but laugh seeing his childish actions even though I was clearly used to it. "Get back to work, idiot." I shouted.

He instantly crossed his arms and started pouting, making a sad face, "what now?" I asked.

"My darling just called me an idiot." He said and puckered his lips.

I laughed again. "Come on!"

I thought for a second what I should do to make up with him but then I got something. I leaned forward and gave him a peck on his puckered lips, "Now get back to work! We have a lot to deal with."

Feeling my lips on his, an immediate wide smile owned his whole face as he stood there shocked, touching his lips. I pushed him towards the chair and sat him down while he was still processing what had happened.

He finally got serious and started looking into "Easy's" website. He found our design on their website which was getting sold really well.

Now the problem was not that they posted our design but it was about how they posted our, own design before we, ourselves could. So if we post our design, we would be considered the thief while actually it's the other way around.

So now we had to make another design in order to get that to work, the design which had already been delayed a lot was getting postponed even more.

So this time, the discouragement and pressure was all on me. Everything depended on my pace to work. Sometimes it was too much for me even. But I was not someone confident enough directly to ask someone for some reassurance so what I felt, always stayed inside me.

To Be Continued.....

A/n: What do you think about the company's way to handle the situation? Was it valid?
