Zee met him when he was a young. He saw this saintly beauty crying near a small lake in the park near his house. Zee was heading to school when he stumbled upon him. His heart tugged when he saw the boy's dazzling brown eyes brimming with tears. His...
Monday arrived. Zee parked his at his designated parking space and exited his car. He locked it and walked slowly towards the closest elevator. He could not imagine that Saint was going to work with him from that day onwards. How did he end up in the quandary? He had no idea. He simply remembered Mr Huang and Saint fighting and then discussing he guessed? And BAM! He now had Saint working for him. Software.... Security... where the hell could he possible chuck this 19 year old part timer? He had absolutely no idea. He shook his head as he stepped into the empty elevator. Zee usually arrived early before the office was bustling with people. He simply enjoyed the peace and quiet before the chaos ensued.
Over the weekend, Zee had the unpleasant task of explaining to 3 of his closest friends about the demise of beloved Belle. Poppy blew his top obviously because he seemed to love Belle more than Tommy and Jimmy. Tommy and Jimmy on the other hand were a little calmer. They did voice out however that even though the Ducatti Monster was not one of the most expensive motorbikes out there but the 3 of them did work hard to get the money when they started working after graduating university. Zee apologised to his friends on behalf of his boss's son. Poppy said the kid has to apologise and not Zee and he added that he would kick Saint's ass if he sees him one day.
Zee arrived at his floor and stepped out. He was engrossed with his phone that he bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry." Zee said and raised his head. "Saint?" Zee was astonished.
Standing before Zee was Saint Suppapong or Huang Ming Ming in a suit! Gone were his earrings. The tattoos under his eyes were gone too! Nonetheless, Zee could see glimpse of his other tattoos under the collar of his shirt. There were also shadows of bruises from his 'adventure' with Gulf and Mew the other day. The cuts from the scuffle were also now healing. The kid looked exceptionally good actually.
"How do I look?" Saint asked excitedly. "Decent." Zee teased him. "Decent? That's it?" He did not look thrilled. "Yes." Zee replied. "I thought I look dashing!" Saint claimed. "Fine... You do look dashing. Sophisticated. Handsome." Zee admitted and that brought a grin to Saint's face. "What happened to your tattoos?" Zee queried as he traced his index finger on Saint's cheek where his tattoo used to be. "You missed them?" Saint replied. "Actually I do." Zee grinned. "I can paint them on again if you want to." Saint explained. "They are not permanent?" "Nah... everything on my body is permanent except for the tattoos on my face." Saint quipped. "So.. I can have those tattoos too?" "Sure." Saint smiled. "You are actually over-dressed for my department." Zee smiled. Saint then looked down at what he wore and what Zee was wearing. Saint was in a suit while Zee was in black jeans and a dark blue shirt. "Why are you not in a suit?" Saint asked. "We in the cyber security software development department... are rather... laid-back when it comes to dress-code actually. We are nerds Saint! We work on software all day long and all night long. Sometimes we don't see people or sunlight for that matter." Zee grinned. "You are one sexy nerd I would say." Saint winked. "Stop teasing!" Zee warned him. "I'm serious.... Do you know when I kissed you.." "Okay... Okay... Let's head to my office." Zee pushed Saint towards his office. He used his card to open the door and then pushed Saint into it. "Have a seat." Zee asked Saint to sit at one of the couches but Saint being Saint sat at the chair facing Zee's office chair. Saint grinned cheekily at him as he sat down. "How's Mr Huang?" Zee asked. "He's alive and kicking. I am from home actually." Saint replied. "Really? So... anymore shouting and yelling?" Zee asked. "Of course. I am my father's son... if we don't shout and scream... there's definitely something wrong." Saint explained and made Zee smiled. "Saint... actually ...I have a problem having you in my department." Zee explained. "What's the problem?" Saint's eyes glinted dangerously. "Can you please don't get angry just yet?" Zee requested. "I'm not angry." Saint murmured. "Annoyed then?" Zee suggested. "Why do you say that?" Saint asked. "Saint... you have that sort of menacing look in your eyes when you are... angry or annoyed." Zee answered. "I do?" "Yes." Zee replied. "That's so cool! You know me so well... What sort of look do my eyes have... when I want you Zee? When I'm horny? When I want to do nasty things to you." Saint murmured. "What?" "You heard me." Saint challenged. "I'm not going to answer that!" Zee refused to look at the young man in front of him. "I know how YOU look when you want me." Saint added. "Stop this!" "Why should I?" Saint smirked. "Cause I'm your boss!" Zee answered. "I haven't even started working with you yet ... You are not my boss." Saint insisted. "WHAT I meant by me having problem with you being in my department IS ... I have no idea where I can put you." Zee explained exasperatedly. "It's a pretty well-oiled machine... we create, test and run software... You're 19 and .. what can you do for my department?" "I can be with you." Saint replied. "And do what?" Zee asked. "Do YOU?" Saint grinned. "You are..." "Sexy... and hot?" "Oh God!" Zee moaned covering his face with hands. "Yes Baby?" "Don't start!" "I haven't begun anything baby." Saint snickered. "Stop!" "Stop what baby?" "Stop calling me baby!" "What should I call you then? "Mr Panich?" "Ewwwww." Saint cringed and shivered. "Zee then?" Zee muttered. Defeated. "Perfect!" "As I said... I have no idea where to put you in my department." "Put me where you are... I can help you with many things!" "As you can see... I am a capable adult. I don't know how you can help me here! Plus, I have Julia and she has 2 other assistants." Zee explained. "I can help you DO ADULT THINGS..." Saint smirked. "I give up." Zee threw his arms in the air. "How do you work with my dad if you give up this easily?" Saint pouted. "He's quite an okay boss actually." Zee contemplated before replying. "That tyrannical sadist?" Saint made a face. "His you father." "That's why I know he's a tyrannical sadist." Saint answered. "Maybe I should ask Julia about this." Zee muttered while thinking. "No ... you don't." Something flashed in Saint's eyes. "There you go again....." Zee stared at him. "What?" "You are going bonkers over something again. I can see it in your eyes." Zee claimed. "Are you sure?" "Positive!" Zee continued to stare. "How about now? What do you think is running through my mind?" Saint smiled at Zee. He studied the young man's eyes. Zee realised his heart began to beat a little faster. He squirmed in his seat. "Come on Zee... Tell me what I think right now?" Saint steadily gazed into Zee's eyes. Zee could not help but swallowed. "I hate you!" Zee hissed. "No... you don't." Saint grinned. "You horrible boy!" Zee growled. "I'm not horrible... I just want you. That's all." Saint admitted shamelessly. "I'm going to make coffee." "I can do that." Saint replied. "It's okay... You haven't begun working for me right? I'm not yet your boss!" Zee said before leaving his office. "Touché..." Saint smirked as Zee marched away.
