Karma's A Bitch

With every bite he takes, it filled him with happiness, contentment with what he have. Her homemade lunch suit his taste very much. Although, even if her food tastes awful, he will continue to eat every bite! Perhaps his love for her had made his taste buds crass?

At times, Wang Yi-An would take a spoonful from her meal, then she would divert all her attention back into the computer. Yang Tian-Xu told her, “You don’t have to work so hard. Finish your meal first.” She would say one word to him. “Later.” Wang Yi-An's focus remains on the computer screen.

Yang Tian-Xu felt like crying as he thought to himself, “How can you treat me like this? I’m your boss! I am the Yang Corps President!” However, he could only remain his cool, and just smile back and said, “Don’t overwork yourself. You should take better care of your health.”

Wang Yi-An nodded, “HM!” And then she stops for two minutes and swallows her whole lunch. Yang Tian-Xu cannot believe how fast this girl can eat! She takes seconds to finish her meal.

"Done!" She said, as she bolted back to the computer, continuing her job. If Yang Tian-Xu can use an emoji to express his feeling, a sweating-grin face emoji would be the best one.

Able to enjoy a meal with her, he felt contented. He enjoys every bite he takes slowly as he sneaks glances at her from time to time. The new designs she made was a total makeover. Because the previous container design seems unacceptable to her view, no matter how much time she tried to change it, she can’t seem to be satisfied. She thought of having the design remade utterly, it became heart-shape teardrop, with a hollow centre. In the centre, she would place a beautiful gemstone in it to give it more elegant beauty.

Then, she wasn’t sure if the client would like to have their idea redesign entirely. So she made another design. By using the old one she had the wings resized, enlarging them as she gave it more life, and feathers. She gave definition to the crease, to make them pop-up, looking like actual wings, this time the wings on the bottle seems much better. The rounded bottle-shape container looks terrible to Wang Yi-An, and so Wang Yi-An had changed it into a cylinder instead, still keeping the pattern. With just that, she spent most of her time working; she wouldn’t notice that Yang Tian-Xu would look at her the entire time as she worked.

Wang Yi-An has another talent, and perhaps it was with the aid of her photographic memory. However, she could reach out her hand and take her water bottle and guzzle it down with her eyes still glued to the screen.

"That was some talent," he thought as he watched her guzzled down the bottle of water, without looking at it once, her eyes still glued to her screen. He thought, "Girl, you need a break." However, everything he wanted to say, it wasn't possible for him to say. He doesn’t want to make her hate him. Yang Tian-Xu wanted her to like him, so he stood there in silent by her side.

If Yang Tian-Xu believed in karma, this is perhaps his punishment. He used to be the one to ignore others, used to be the one who never pays attention to anybody else. Yang Tian-Xu was the only child and used to having everything given to him on a silver platter. His good looks was a bonus; he would receive attention everywhere he goes. This cold treatment he received from Wang Yi-An; felt like a punishment, or a test of his patience.

A quiet time in their division with everyone gone out for lunch, it was just them.Another blissful reason Yang Corps got voted as one of the best company to work for; because employees have a paid two-hour lunch break. The entire division went out for lunch together, leaving only them, however, Assistant Tseng returned as he saw a view that shocked him.

After spending three hours trying to console Tong Yue-Yan, he returned. For the entire three hours he defended Yang Tian-Xu's cold attitude towards her, saying, "He's like that to everyone." Assistant Tseng continued to reassures Tong Yue-Yan, "President Yang has always been a very strict and serious President. He has a lot of stress lately because took both the job of a CEO and a GM (General Manager). Please don’t take everything he says to heart!"

It was the Vice-President’s job to find a replacement for the position. However, Vice-President Ma has been a good friend of Yang Tian-Xu’s father; he's picky to the extreme about who he wants to promote into the GM position. They could only rely on Yang Tian-Xu’s help until they find one, and so Assistant Tseng complains about how much work he has, and so Tong Yue-Yan understands his reasoning, she felt better and left the moment her driver came back to pick her up. Assistant Tseng bid her fair well as he sent her home, making sure she got inside her car saftely.

When Assistant Tseng returned, he steps in and could smell the food. He walked further down and saw Yang Tian-Xu sitting across from Wang Yi-An as they shared a lunch box together. His face dropped. He couldn’t believe his eyes. "What in the world is going on?" he froze, unable to process the scene he witnesses. He couldn’t even take another step closer! He stood still, and it was like he was having a stroke!

Yang Tian-Xu is actually having his lunch at work, at a workstation, with an intern. Assistant Tseng knew just how much President Yang hated when people eat at their desk and always tell them how unhealthy it is for their health. Yet, right at this moment as he witnesses the entire scene with his own eyes, he felt his jaw dropping to the ground.

After he pulls himself together, he called out “President Yang!” and so he came and reported to him, “I have successfully sent Miss Tong home.”

Yang Tian-Xu heard Assistant Tseng’s voice and turned to look. “Hey, you’re back early.”

"Early?" He widens his eyes, almost as his eyes could pop outside of their socket because of the shock. In silent as he thought to himself, "Boss I have been away for over three hours…"

Yang Tian-Xu still doesn’t seem to care about how long Assistant Tseng had been away. “Okay, you can go into my office and take the documents I had already sign and sent them off to their department.” He demands.

"Yes, sir!" An instantaneous replied as Assistant Tseng understood President Yang's cold attitude, because that's just how he is. Assistant Tseng passes by them and into the office, but before he went inside, he twisted around to sneak a peek at them and saw the empty lunch box.

There was one last bite before Yang Tian-Xu finished it up. However, he was reluctant to finish it. Wang Yi-An had already completed her share long ago. She was about to put the empty lunch box away, but saw Yang Tian-Xu still unfinished she said, “It’s okay if you can’t finish it.”

“Oh, I will! Your cooking is very delicious.” He said, as he takes the last bite in his mouth. His reaction was like a child that doesn’t want his favourite toy taken from him. He smiled as he chewed and swallowed. “Thanks for the meal.” He said as he smiled at her again.
