Jesy was astonished, she looked at Trevor with surprise written on her face. She was only staring but definitely not ogling. Jesy let out a low laugh of disbelieve as she readjusted her position on the couch. The sudden question from Trevor caught her unawares. Jesy looked at him and her eyes fell directly on his mask, she retorted.
"Ogle? You got things wrong. I wasn't ogling, I was only staring because I was curious about why you're wearing a mask and refused to show your face. Maybe, is there a big scar or abnormality on your face that you're hiding with a mask?"
Jesy fired with her eyes rounded in question to show the intensity of her curiosity.
Trevor frowned at Jesy's statement, he felt highly insulted. His face wasn't scarred or abnormal, infact, it was a very handsome face that was capable of bringing the most handsome artist down to their knees and make them kowtow. But because of the current situation, he could not open his face, he had to keep hiding his face till the mist was clear.
He eyed Jesy and was about to fire back his own reply when a knock was heard from the door. Trevor inwardly groaned when he saw his capable and intelligent assistant walk in with two ladies behind him. Trevor already guessed they were the people that would work for Jesy as her assistant and manager.
Trevor sighed and decided to let Jesy off the hook for now, but he'll surely get back at her for calling his face abnormal. 'Just you wait, I'll make sure you swallow back your words.'
Jesy peeled her gaze away from Trevor and looked towards the entrance of the office, she saw Dennis and two ladies walking in. One of the ladies had a curly brown hair and a round reading glasses on, she wore a blue short skirt and a white shirt, she had a black bag hung over her shoulders.
The other lady wore a black pencil skirt and a white shirt, she had her hair packed in a ponytail, a black office bag was hanging on her hands. The lady looked like a typical Asian and Jesy wondered what part of Asia she was.
Jesy saw both ladies bow their heads in greeting to Trevor, she wondered which one of them would be her manager, but she already guessed it might be the Asian lady wearing a pencil skirt.
"Ms Anthony, this is Akira Sasaki, your manager and a well experienced lady in the field, she's from Japan."
Dennis introduced the lady who had her packed in a ponytail whom Jesy had already guessed would be her manager.
The slender Japanese woman walked towards Jesy and gave a bow before stretching her hand out for a handshake. Jesy quickly stood up and received the handshake.
"Nice to meet you Ms, am looking forward to working with you."
Akira spoke with a Japanese accent but it had a little bit of American English in it.
"Nice to meet you too and thank you."
Jesy replied back, she peeled off her hand from the handshake and sat back, her eyes falling on the other lady who looked younger.
"This is Clara Hart, your assistant and just like you, she's also a new person and this is her first job after graduating from high school. She's American."
Dennis introduced while gesturing his hands towards Clara, he sounded professional and well mannered on the outside but he was actually restraining himself from cursing at Jesy on the inside.
Clara has a nervous slight smile on her face, she walked to Jesy and said a simple Hi with a bow and Jesy stood up to do the same.
After the introduction, both Jesy and the two ladies were excused out of the office. The moment they left, Trevor removed his mask and sent a death glare towards Dennis.
The innocent Dennis had no idea why Trevor was suddenly looking at him in such manner. He kept guessing possible theories of why Trevor was suddenly glaring at him, not knowing that Trevor was still vexed because Jesy called his face abnormal and scarred.
"Does my mask give such idea?"
Trevor suddenly blurted, Dennis replied with a hmmm? He was confused about what Trevor was suddenly talking about.
"Do people think my face is scarred and abnormal whenever they see me on this mask?"
Trevor asked again.
Dennis finally understood what made the almighty CEO annoyed, it seems that crazy Ms said something to Trevor while he was away.
"Of course not, just by a single glance at your hazel eyes, one could tell you are a very handsome man."
Dennis replied in an attempt to pacify the angry man.
"What about you? What was your thought when you first saw me on this mask?"
Trevor asked as he sat upright, his eyes stared closely at Dennis as if trying to read him from his reactions.
"Well…um…but why are you suddenly bothered about this things. You were never interested in whatever people thought about you, why are you suddenly asking me these questions?"
Dennis felt like he would cry if the torments continued, he enjoyed working with Trevor and never for once complained but now, Trevor was beginning to be a pain in the ass.
"Just, forget it."
Trevor said and continued with his work. Dennis sighed and bowed his head, he turned around and was about to leave the office when he suddenly remembered something.
"Um sir? Can I get back my earpods?"
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
