He wondered why the man did not take the boy he wanted but took him instead. He wanted to ask but he was scared that he will make the man displeased.
When the cars parked in front of the skyscraper, he looked at the man sitting beside him and looked at the guards at the door. He felt conflicted. The last thing he wanted was to step down from the car to gain the attention of those around.
That could cost him a lot because people were very good at getting curious and half of the time, they will stop at nothing to satisfy their curiosity.
He was popular and would easily gain attention.
"You don't look willing. I could have them send you back home if you wish," the man told him calmly as he got ready to step down from the car. Someone was about to open the door for him.
"I have a very important meeting today and as much I founded the company, I will not want to be late for the meeting," Mingyu was forced to tell the young man who was hesitating. He was someone who valued punctuality yet he was willing to be an hour late for his meeting with this young man.
He would be more than willing to miss the meeting for him but the thought of having Yanjun with him in his office felt like a fantasy he wanted to accomplish and he alone knew YanJun played one of the most important roles in his success.
He was being firm and wore a cold gaze to make the younger man concede. "I will be late. So, make your decision fast," he told him firmly as he glanced at the limited edition wristwatch on his wrist.
YanJun bit his lips thoughtfully before meeting Mingyu's gaze firmly. "I will go with you," YanJun was forced to agree because he was not sure if he had any other option, to begin with.
Mingyu held back a sigh of relief and that required a lot of energy. He knew that if YanJun decides to leave, he will be too soft-hearted to force him to go into the building with him.
"But, could we use the underground parking lot?"
"If you try to hide it, you will only make them curious. I always go in through the front door, especially on days like this. No one dares to pry into my private life anyway."
YanJun was forced to nod. He stepped down from the car after Mingyu and he kept telling himself to remain calm. His palms felt sweaty and he tried not to rub them on his trousers as he walked into the building beside the richest entrepreneur in the country.
It was an entry befitting to someone like him and he was well guarded although not excessively. He bit his lips slightly and when he looked around to notice the seriousness of everyone working in the place as they bowed to him, he could relax slightly.
Fact that there was almost nothing about Mingyu's private life on any website or social media, he could relax. He might have not had time to read about the man in the past but if the great Mingyu had a son out of wedlock, he would have known.
One of his group members was almost obsessed with how rich entrepreneurs could get and he would always read business news because he was going to take over his father's company after retiring.
He also got slightly interested in hearing the guy talk about them because he wanted to encourage himself with their lives and their achievements, after all, he also wanted to become a business owner.
When they got into the elevator with two guards, he glanced at Mingyu trying to be as subtle as he could. Thinking about how Mingyu was very secretive as he was with his private life, he was sure many people would be interested in knowing about his life.
He was rich and handsome and yet single. He would have to record as the richest potential bachelor in the country and a lot of women would want him as their man and many families would want to marry their daughters to him.
He wondered why none of them succeeded in capturing his heart. He also knew that there was no way that there won't be a few of them fishing for him.
Mingyu felt YanJun's gaze and he stretched his hand without restraint. He took his hand in his and he felt the younger man flinch and tried to pull away but he refused to let go.
"Let go," YanJun whispered a warning as he looked at the guards who looked ahead like they did not see their boss holding a man's hand so intimately.
Mingyu shook his head as he continued to stare ahead too. YanJun was sure they could see them holding hands in the reflection and he was not comfortable with such touch. This was not the first time he was holding a hand with a man but this felt different. The situation was too different.
"You glow very easily," Mingyu could not hold back the compliment as he looked at the younger man who was blushing from such simple touch. He wondered how pink he will look when he goes beyond that.
When the elevator door opened, on the floor Mingyu was headed, YanJun shook off his hand as firmly as he could. Mingyu released his hand because he did not want to push too much. Above that, he liked how YanJun blushed, it was so cute.
"Do you want to come with me or do you want to wait in my office?" Mingyu asked when the guards walked out of the elevator.
"I will wait in your office," YanJun replied as he tried not to look at the man for too long. The power he exuded in the place was way over the chart. You could easily identify the founder among every other people.
"Don't look at me like that or I will be late for my meeting," Mingyu warned YanJun. He was sure that he will not hesitate to postpone the meeting if YanJun did not immediately move his gaze.
YanJun felt his heart race. He knew what the man meant by that and the heat in his face increased. He was sure his ears must have gotten red. This was so embarrassing!
