5 Day before holidays

While going outside he looks at the snow that he hates but here was it a little around 2cm so he doesn't care about it not like at his hometown around 20cm in winter.

When he goes to a corporation building with was placed in the center of a city he remembers the first time seeing it that building is high glass-building where he works on the 10 floors from 25. After entering to company receptionist greed him trying to say his name but when her tongue starts breaking he says:

"Hello, Melody please don't try just call me Greg like everybody here ok,"

"ok how long today you plan to work?"

"around 10h why you ask,"

" I was curious could we go to drink after work?"

"sorry beauty but I have to buy some herring after work and start making food for tomorrow Christmas eve so I'm so sorry to disappoint you but I don't have time,"

"ok," she said. Melody has a crush on him for a month knowing that he is hardworking and what he promises will be done so she hopes that they could date.

After a small talk with her he goes to the elevator and starts thinking why she wanted to meet with him he is just fat and ugly in his eyes and he isn't ready to open his heart now maybe someday but not now it still hurt him when he thinks about his past love.

Over 8 hours of work pass his colleague wanted to go drink before Christmas break but he tells them the same excuses as Melody. it was 20:30 he needed to smoke his inside think wanted it and knowing that he will work more than he planned. When he goes to the smoking area knowing that nobody will be there and he could spend some time reading and smoking like he always does when he works overtime his things to have spent more time when he 'work'.

When he go there, he saw shareholders talking about business so he goes quickly to go to the bench and start smoking after greeting them.

They talk more and start joking about him but they don't tell it directly but when they start talking about fat people they look at him but who care about morons who become who they are now thanks to their parents who have the luck to invest in that company when it was close to bankruptcy but only one good move by Roland Lee and it became one of the biggest company on the word only Mega World Intl. The group could fight with them for being is bigger but then news that Jeff Go and Ann Wen are engagement show up in newspapers and the idea of connect both companies break down.

The last of them end smoking it was 30 years old Anthon Wu. He is one of the most influential people after Roland thanks to his dad he holds 20% of company shares. After he goes out from the smoke area and Greg could finally smoke like the like. Normally after 3 cigarettes he goes out and starts moving slowly to his workplace where he needed to fix someone's mistakes which he discovers 2h ago.

It was work from a different area he was responsible for. Normally he looks at Eastern Europe, not Asia so he needed to look at some stuff he doesn't know. This needed to be done today, so that's why he works more than he planned.

Greg was doing this to save his coworker a*s. when he found it he wanted to help him (at a time when he was newbie he helps him a lot how to work with their program - who was specially created to this company ect.) After a short talk with him, Greg knows that his wife will give birth to twins soon and he wanted to spend time with them not working at a mistake that his someone else made and now he needed to change it.

When he thinks about how to fix it fast and goes to the shop to buy fish, he loves he heard a woman scream who seems go out of the conference room.
