13: Favoritism

Gulf glared at the tall pile of paperwork that were sitting innocently on his table. He was sorting them for an hour already but it felt like he was going nowhere.

"How did it get into this?!" he threw a folder and slumped on his seat, reminiscing the day he stepped foot at Sonata's head office.





Two days ago, Gulf began his first day at work.




He was still feeling chill during his orientation. Got tense when Mew's real secretaries joined him on the table. There were two of them. Two poker-faced men, probably in their mid-30s, entered the room followed by their own set of assistants.

"Wasn't this supposed to be posted yesterday? How come this is still a draft?" The other slammed the documents on the table and Gulf flinched.


Their assistants gathered their things, bowed, and hurried out of the room.


The one who slammed the documents fixed his coat and sighed. He too glanced at Gulf, exchanging knowing looks with the other and nodded.


"Ah yes. The newcomer." He stood up and walked around Gulf's seat. "Pleasure to meet you. I am Tong." He reached out a hand.

"No need to be nervous. Boss Mew had told us about you. Basically, we'll transfer emails and documents for you to sort out. You will also accompany us on meetings." Tong said.


Gulf nodded again. He was already given the brief earlier. "But, where is Mew?"
