The Silent Murder

Chap 2

You emailed him once you get home. You asked for some advice from your dad and he approved him to take over  Jonah's position.

***

"Hey."

"So, Mr Besson? Have you met my assistant?" He nodded. "Cool. So, I hope you're going to enjoy, working here with us."

You walk into your room. Every morning, Jonah usually brings coffee and both of had that 'mini business talk'. But, now, it's just a typical boring morning at work. Jack didn't came home last night. He didn't replied or pick up the phone. You try to reach him by calling his family or friends but no answer. You've a bad feeling bout it but, you gotta ignore to focus on your work.

"That's weird." You said to yourself.

"Come in." You said. You see Corbyn, holding two cups of coffee. "You don't have to." You said. "It's fine. I heard that's what Jonah usually did." You wonder where how did he knew that or did anyone at the office told him?

"Thank you." You take one of the cup from him and take your sit. He's staring at you and had a smirked on his face as if he's done scanning you. Your body. His eyes lingering and you know which part of your body he's looking at.

"Corbyn, my face is up here." He clear his throat and smiled. "Oh, yeah. I'm sorry... I'm a bit distracted." He said.

You had a long pause and starts to analyse this dude. This is his first time at work and he looks at you as if he never saw a woman before. "It's fine. I get it you're nervous..." You said.

"I guess it's my cue to go." He left your room. You received a text from Jack and he wants to meet you at the usual cafe during lunch break. You find yourself, doing all the things you suppose to do and boredom hits you. It's just right cause its finally time for lunck break.

***

"Babe!"You said and hugged Jack. Jack doesn't say a word and he's somehow looks mad at you."I'm sorry for being MIA. I'm kinda need some time for myself..."

"It's fine. I'm okay with it. Take your time, sweetheart." You said. "So, I've something to tell you. I think, we need to take a break. You can stay at my place but I'll be going back to my mum's house. I'm sorry that we've to do this but, we can use a little break for both of us..." He's right. Its been more than 1 year both of you, together and most of the time you spent together."Sure if that's what you want."

"Tell me bout your new employee."

"He's fine but the way he looks at me kinda creep me out. But, he's nice..."He gives that confused look at you."If you think he's creepy, why didn't you let him take Jo's position? I don't want anything bad happen to you. He can be a dangerous one."

"But, he deserves to replace Jonah and he's the one that's working once he get the job. He still has 3 younger siblings relying on him including his mum. I'm trying to be more considerate nowadays, Jack. I used to be cruel yet blunt CEO back then but it's a good thing after all as the company improved a lot eventhough its almost bankrupt... " Jack place his hand on the top of your right hand."Well, I kinda agree. You're a whole new version Belle Hartley."

Once you're back to the office, you saw a brunette girl AKA Lollie, talking to Corbyn. Let's just say she's actually flirting with him and he doesn't look comfortable. "Lollie, you have nothing to do?"

"I was just dicussing bout the work that we both involve in." You looked at corbyn. Then, back to her again and gives a stern look. "You can stop lying to me from now on. I know what both of you are suppose to do and Mr Besson, I need to talk with you."

Corbyn follow you by walking behind you. "Thank you for saving me." He said after both of you is in your room. "It's nothing. I know her and Jonah did rejected but I can see he's flirting with her as well. I get it guys like girls that have a perfect ideal body."

"It's kinda true but it's all about someone's personality. You can't just be good looking or pretty with bad attitude. There's no beauty in it if someone act like he or she doesn't has any manners. It's just, not cool."

"I like you already eventhough it's your first day here. But, don't get me wrong. I like you as a friend. I like the idea where you're not being judgemental. Anywhere, you can go back to your place now. I've got things to do. If Lollie keeps flirting with you, do tell me!"

He nodded and chuckled.

"Sure. Thank you."
