Transmigration

There's not such thing as a white lotus. But that doesn't stop people from pretending to be innocent.

Ezra snorted as the girl in front of his boss acted shy, looking up at the man from under her lashes as she mumbled 'thank you'. Her voice was nice enough, but then again, it's probably fake.

Ezra sighed. Not again. All these annoying flies just keep coming after the sweet smell of Sebastian's money. It doesn't help either than Sebastian's looks can rival the best model's. What a damned cliché. The CEO of a super rich company is attractive and surrounded by women. But the difference is, this is real life, and Sebastian is only attractive so long as he keeps his big, fat mouth shut. Unbeknownst to his boss, Ezra stuck his tongue out at the handsome man behind said person's back.

However, Ezra's stupid expression froze when he heard Sebastian gently ask the girl if she was okay. What just happened? Ezra thought his boss was smarter than that. Wait a sec. Ezra fumbled around on his desk, managing to grab a filthy pair of glasses before he shoved them on under his greasy bangs.

The girl in the white dress, Ezra snickered again, seriously, is she TRYING to be a living cliché or what?. The girl in the white dress had the creamiest complexion that Ezra has seen, paired with her straight black hair, and a pair of small red lips, she stood out in the dreary office like an ethereal fairy. Her lowered eyes, what Ezra could see of them, were shiny with tears, and framed by a fan of dark lashes that screamed innocence. There was an attractive dark spot just beneath her right eye, which only added to her delicate beauty.

Huh. No wonder Sebastian fell for it. This girl's looks alone would be enough to make heads turn, and now paired with her white lotus act, Ezra will be damned if this isn't the legendary Mary Sue halo. Well excuuuse him, Ezra is as near sighted as they come, his eyes are completely useless without his thick glasses. No one can blame him for not noticing the beauty. Ezra winced and rubbed at his chest as a strange pain blocked his breath.

Ezra shook his head as he went back to staring at the mountain of papers on his desk. He cracked his knuckles and stretched, cursing his boss under his breath. His inhumane treatment could only be his own fault. He and Sebastian were actually in school together, and back then, he had accidentally bullied Sebastian.

Accidentally, because he just wanted to tease the dark haired boy, whom he found adorable since Sebastian had been so chubby as a kid. But who knew that Sebastian had such a mean temper, even in elementary school. But that just made it more fun to provoke the adorable boy over and over. One thing led to another, and he found himself bullying Sebastian not only for all of elementary school, but also throughout junior high and high school, right up until Sebastian's rich grandparents transferred him to a posh university.

Ezra winced as his spine cracked. Well now Sebastian is having so much fun taking his revenge. Who would have known that Sebastian's family owns a super rich company? Now Sebastian is the CEO, the title passed down to him from his retired grandparents. Ezra sighed, propping up his head with a hand under his chin as a spaced out.

Life is suuuper unfair. Ezra had been the best at everything in his highschool and university days. Graduating at the top of his class, he had immediately began looking for a job, thinking that since he's worked hard in school, he'll definitely get a good job, meet a nice girl, and have a happy family with a lot of kids. He didn't really like kids, his parents just wanted a herd of grandchildren.

But not everything goes according to plan, since life is a bitch. And that's how Ezra found himself employed at a company that he thought was pretty good only to find out that the boy he's once bullied has become a god-like CEO and his boss. Damn, he had always been a little suspicious about the speed that this company hired him at.

To be honest, Sebastian is not a bad boss. To everyone else but Ezra anyways. He's lumped so much work on Ezra that within 3 months of working at the company, Ezra had developed a bad stress eating habit from the anxiety. Now Ezra is the chubby lump, and Sebastian is the one at the top of the world. On top of that, Ezra Has. No. Life. Ezra sighed, even louder than before, rubbing a hand through his greasy hair. He's been too tired to wash it this week, since his demon boss had given him too much work. Again. At least he gets paid a lot.

Meanwhile, Sebastian is going to take the girl out tonight, and after that, get pulled in by her Mary Sue halo, and then after that, they're going to go through many challenges, and a horde of jealous bitches will try to vye for Sebastian's attention, but the female protagonist and her Mary Sue halo will overpower all the jealous bitches, and on top of that, Sebastian would never dream of cheating on his white lotus beauty. Hmmm, maybe Sebastian is secretly involved with the mafia too, and he'll end up saving the female protagonist when his rivals use her to threaten him or something.

Ezra snickered. He's been reading too much of those cliché novels again. Well too bad. It's the only thing that he has time for, since his reading speed has become god level from all the work his evil boss had given him. Plus, his favorite novel is basically the only thing keeping him going. His favorite author is going to update tonight, and he can't wait to get the work done and head home.

Ezra's stomach throbbed, and his grimaced as the phantom sensation of a heart burn made him burp. He clapped a hand over his mouth. Ugh, better not disturb the evil boss's flirting. Or else more work is going to add to the paper mountain in from of him. His vision swam with fatigue, and he felt a little lightheaded. Mmm, he should definitely lay off the sweets and the coffee.

The girl was acting shy, but eventually she grudgingly relented to going out with Sebastian so he could buy her a new dress. This is because she had been carrying a cup of coffee when Sebastian bumped into her, and she accidentally spilled the coffee on her dress. No one knows why she's drinking ice cold coffee, and why she's even on this floor anyways, since she works on another floor, and there are at least 2 coffee machines on each floor. Well, maybe both of the coffee machines broke at the same time, and she's working overtime, and she decided to get herself a cup of coffee from the top floor, even though she has to go up at 3 levels to get here. And she obviously needed to make a beeline for the door, and conveniently walk in front of Sebastian's office just as he was coming out. Even though the elevator is in the opposite direction. Who knows, maybe the coffee machines on the top floor really did have a cold coffee option. Ezra has never seen it.

He slapped himself on the face, clapping both hands over his bloated cheeks. Alright alright, he needs to get to work.

Ouch. He rubbed at his jaw, maybe he should stop slapping himself so often too.
