Alas, he still couldn't help but wonder how he'd gotten into this situation in the first place.

When Xiao Zhan finally finished unpacking, he left his new room and started walking down the stairs. He was slightly startled when he reached the bottom of the steps, almost tripping on his own feet and letting out a slight squeak.

Wang Yibo, his employer, seemed to have changed out of his old clothes and into something less casual. He wore a pair of black trousers - which no doubt exaggerated his long legs, a plain white dress-shirt which was neatly tucked under a black leather belt topped off with a light blue jacket which slung casually over his shoulders. Although he dressed almost casually, and his clothes weren't conspicuous, there was still a small lingering feel of value. In other words, one could still tell that he was decked full of designer. Xiao Zhan suddenly felt extremely underdressed. The clothes he had thrown on this morning, alone, could be considered smart-casual (after all he was planning on coming to his workplace) but next to Wang Yibo he couldn't help but feel a little cheap and tacky.

'You invaded my home today.' Wang Yibo glanced at Xiao Zhan as he tripped down the stairs. 'You have to repay me by accompanying me to lunch.'

'What?! Why?!' Zhan asked temporarily forgetting who he was talking to.

'I was planning on going with a friend anyways but they canceled on me so now I'm dragging you along.' Yibo replied with a slight glare.

'Do I have to?' Zhan stuck out his bottom lip and scrunched his eyebrows, a weapon he often used against Yubin.

'Do you want your cheque this month?' Yibo's tone was playful but his expression showed that he was being serious.

'Fine' Xiao Zhan finally agreed. 'But I'm not having any weird rich people dishes like frog legs or snails.'

Yibo only chuckled before walking out of the room, leaving Zhan to follow behind.

WYB:

Although he hadn't known Xiao Zhan for very long, Wang Yibo could tell that this person was someone he would get along with and immediately hoped that he was someone that could work effectively. He didn't want to fire such a great find. To Wang Yibo, getting to know people like Xiao Zhan was something to be treasured. Uniqueness, was something Wang Yibo thoroughly appreciated and people like Xiap Zhan were the epitome of unique. There weren't a lot of people who would go to lengths such as faking happiness just to put others at ease without having some other true motive behind the act. People who did normally had a reason, or story as to why they became who they... well, became. Wang Yibo wanted to learn Xiao Zhan's story, but he wanted to learn it from the man himself. There is nothing like learning from the person who experienced the lesson themselves. No one can teach with as much detail as someone who went through the trouble to gain the information themselves, whether willingly or not.

Now, Xiao Zhan was seated in his car looking rather nervous but Wang YIbo could ell he was emitting excitement from deep within.

'You excited?' Wang Yibo asked as he reached to turn on the engine.

'This car is so expensive looking I'm scared my presence will destroy... the feel... but yeah. You have no idea how excited I am.' From his tone alone, Wang Yibo could tell that Zhan was warming up to him. He was tripping less, speaking wise and moving wise, and his tone was warmer. He was more himself.

'You should be' Wang YIbo grinned as his foot pressed against the paddle, 'it's a good restaurant.'

'I'm going to assume I won't be able to afford it.' Zhan's voice rang out from next to him.

'You don't have to.' Wang Yibo replied, 'I'm paying.'

Although he didn't say anything, Yibo could tell that Zhan was still pretty uncomfortable with the idea.

'I'm not going to lie,' Yibo promised, 'When I was looking for employees, I was also judging everyone by level of friendliness or in other words, personality.'

'Why?' Zhan asked.

'Because I also wanted my PA to be someone I could feel comfortable around. Someone I can trust. Like a friend.' Yibo explained.

'So... basically a friend.' Zhan concluded. Yibo chuckled,

'Yeah a friend I guess.'
