Lumen.

Curiosity Killed the Cat.

When you started working at Lumen Tech, you didn't really think much about your boss.

Yes, he was handsome, kind, and thoughtful but you despised him a bit for simply being born with greater advantages than you.

Mark Lee was the youngest son of the founder and CEO of Lumen Tech Industries of Pharmaceuticals. They did research on up and coming medicine and unlike most selfish big pharma companies, they didn't jack up the prices of their medicine.

Mark was handed the company when his father stepped down, his older brother going off to do missionary work in other countries since the Lee family were very religious Christians and that seeped into their work.

You didn't really care about that though, the only thing you even questioned about their faith was the older brother being a missionary since you weren't really a huge fan of missionaries for a number of reasons.

Still, you didn't question or think about Mark Lee, his family, and how he ran the company, caring far more about getting paid and not living on the streets.

Mark was nice to everyone.

He was very humble and handsome to boot so of course some of the workers were infatuated with him. You understood why though.

He truly was a good man of faith and it was rare for you to run into people like that... still, there was something off about him to you.

Mark was perfect. Too perfect but you couldn't think of what his flaw could be.

Whenever you saw or ran into him, he would always smile at you and ask about your day.

That's the thing, Mark didn't live lavishly.

He dressed normally, went to regular restaurants and cafes.

He never splurged on material things either and he always helped at the local soup kitchens.

With how he acted, you wouldn't have guessed he was some rich kid born in wealth but that was exactly what he was and you being the literal opposite made you wonder why he acted as humble as he did.

That was honestly the reason you didn't like him a little.

That was the reason you questioned his motives.

That was the reason why you now found yourself doing an overnight shift just so you can sneak into his office and snoop around for any flaw you could find on him.

Sighing, you shuffled the now finished papers on the desk, put them back in the manila envelope. Getting up from your chair, you walked to your boss's office, knocking on the door 3 times.

You didn't hear an answer.

You knocked 3 more times and again, no answer.

Frowning slightly, you turned at the door handle, surprised that it was unlocked since Mark always kept the door to his office locked, usually having some type of body guard open it for him.

He has always been a very secretive man.

You opened the door and went into the empty office, setting the envelope on the desk.

You looked behind, moving your head slightly to see outside of the room.

Once you believed no one was around, you started looking around the office.

Again, there was something off to you about your boss, you just couldn't put your finger on as to what it was but maybe looking around his office would give you some clues.

You walked around, getting behind his desk.

Mark didn't have much on his desk besides pictures of his friends and family, name plate and some other knickknacks. You opened his drawers, moving papers around, finding nothing interesting or strange.
