Chapter 5

"Come in, Pa." Mark invited the elder in, quickly leading his father into the living room area.

Mr Tuan took a seat before eyes scanning the surrounding, smiling at how the interior just scream out his oldest.

"You got all these done by yourself?" Mr Tuan questioned when Mark reappears with a cup of hot coffee from the kitchen.

Mark nods, taking a seat beside his Pa whose back at admiring his decorating skills.

"If you were a girl, you will definitely be a wife material just like your Ma." Mr Tuan teased which caused his son to turn bright red, grumbling at how that's nonsense.

"Nonsense? Try and find someone your age that could cook and manage a household as good as you." Mr Tuan pointed out, shaking his head at how Mark thinks is normal for everyone but in actual fact, to even find a girl with that kind of capabilities is rare nowadays.

"It's just because I'm used to doing everything by myself, Pa." Mark reasoned, didn't find anything that stunning about his cooking or cleaning skills.

"Of course." Mr Tuan gived up, knowing there's no way Mark would think of himself highly against other, that was just the way his oldest is, someone who don't enjoy the spotlight on him.

"Anyway, about the secretary that you ask earlier, I got a candidate." Mark exclaimed, bringing up the topic that his Pa asked him through the phone a few days ago.

"You do? Who is it?" Mr Tuan asked, curious to see who his new president pick to be his assistance.

"He is my junior back in college, very talented and trustworthy. I thought of bringing him in but he is still back in LA. It might take a few weeks wait though. Is that ok? " Mark informed, earning a nod from his father who's thinking about his suggestion.

"Sure, if you don't mind with Jia helping you out in the meantime, then go ahead and bring him in." Mr Tuan smiles, giving his son the 'go' sign which caused Mark to jump up in happiness before hugging his Pa.

"Aren't you excited? Someone special?" Mr Tuan teased his son again once they broke away from the hug.

"Very, he was by my side through good and bad days back in LA." Mark grinned, thinking about the lovely younger who somehow he starting to miss.

"I see, I can't wait to meet him." Mr Tuan smiles, glad to see the bright smile plastered on his eldest's face.

Jackson swears he could just kill someone right now especially after seeing the pile of files that he wasn't done with where else his arms and fingers are getting numb because of the furious typing for the last few hours.

Reaching out for his water supply, Jackson could only sighed when he sees the bottle was empty.

Without much energy to get angry at his stupid water bottle, Jackson slowly got up and heads for the pantry.

As he got nearer, his track was pause when he overheard two familiar voice talking in the pantry.

"You know Jia noona told me that we are gonna have a new president joining in, tomorrow." Bambam's excited voice echoed, which of course caught Jackson's attention since he never hear anything about this from Pa.

"Really? How did she know?" Youngjae questioned, doubt clear in the younger voice which cause Jackson to chuckle, it's just so Youngjae to be suspicious about everything.
