False advertisement

Jess arrived work early and was surprised to see Jason in his striped PJs. She could not restraint herself from laughing because he reminded her of bananas in pajamas. Jason raised his right eyebrow at her, indirectly asking what is she laughing at.

Instead of replying she sang:

Bananas in pajamas are coming down the stairs,

Bananas in pajamas are coming down in pairs,

Bananas in pajamas are chasing teddy bears,

Jason then looked down at his PJs and let out an evil smile. Jess started to regret mocking him and felt that she had asked for trouble and this particular man is just too good at creating trouble. She was about to run off but somehow her legs were moving but it wasn't in contact with the ground, she was kicking the air instead and she was stuck at the same spot, in conclusion she was suspended in air. She heard a low chuckle followed by a light devilish laughter just beside her ear.

"Trying to run away, not so fast my dear assistant, I have not finish speaking with you. Where are your manners?" She struggled to break free a few times but it was a futile attempt, finally she said in a commanding tone, "Put me down.. you .. you... you... " "Yes? I.. I... I.. what?" "You big bully!!!!!" "Okay" he let her go before she could react and she landed on her butt. "Ouch!!!!" she hissed as she landed on the floor.

She quickly got up and rubbed her sore butt. "Why did you let go?" "Did the fall damage your brain? Did you forget that it was you who told me to let go? Or are you those type who says no but in reality means yes? As your superior I will take this personality of yours into deep consideration because I am a nice guy" "No, I mean yes.. I meant no. Argh, you are impossible to talk to." she stomped her feet in anger forgetting she is at work and she is his subordinate.

He found her actions so amusing that he started to laugh out loud without any restrain. He finally stopped and then he looked at her in a very serious manner, "Later we need to go and get you a stripe PJs as well. I, your boss, don't even go home so that I finish all my work and you as an assistant should follow my example and work as hard, even better if you could work harder. So tonight, overtime and we can both wear striped PJs and tomorrow you can sing the song so sweetly again and we act out the lyrics. Don't forget to remind me to buy a pair of teddy bears as well when we get you your PJs." and he walked away with a grin on his face, leaving Jess in a befuddled state.

She could not believe her ears. Did he just asked me to stay the night , get a matching PJs and teddy bears and act out the whole song??? What the fish!!!!! Ignore! I'm gonna do my work and hopefully by the end of the day, he would just forget all about it. Jess consoled herself. Such a vengeful, crazy dude!!! Shit, maybe ha has some undiagnosed psychiatric illness. Jess cried internally as her imagination continue to run wild.

In a hotel at City Q.

Jade was already awake at 6 am but she didn't stir or move because she didn't want to wake the sleeping Derek. She could not help but stare at sleeping beauty beside her. She was taken aback when the face she was staring stared back at her. "Like what you are seeing?" he asked cheekily. "Mm" She then lowered her head and kept quiet. Derek sensing some was not quite right, tilt her chin up and asked, "Is anything bothering you?" "While you were sleeping I was thinking it would be nice to wake up like this everyday because the first thing I see is you" "Such sweet mouth you have." "Why don't you taste it? Are you sure it's swee..." she wasn't given the opportunity to complete her sentence when his hungry lips covered hers. "Sweet!'

"Promise me, when I settled my business here, and get back to Beijing, let's move in together. I don't want to spend another night without you" Jade was processing the information and was about to speak but was interrupted by the anxious Derek. "Last night you said, I'd never be alone anymore. Don't you go back on your words" Jade noticed the changed in Derek's body language, it was a mixture of agitation and fear. She put to good use the countless training she underwent to understand social cues, body language, communication barriers and etc. The hellish training were so effective that she appears almost normal compared to the norm. Once in every blue moon, when she is just too tired to care, her communication disorder can be seen clearly.

"I am not turning back on my word" she paused and patted his chest to calm him down. "I am just afraid that the more you spend your time with me, you'd figure out I'm not diamond but just a stone mistaken as a diamond. Thanks to my training, I now appear quite normal on the surface, good enough for short interactions but of you were to spend hours with me and when I let my guard down, you will notice there is something definitely wrong with me. if you were to meet me 5 years ago, you most probably would not want to be anywhere near me." she said earnestly.

"I have did my research on Asperger's and I know you have problems with communication but I don't care. All I know is you bring me great joy and I want to spend the rest of my life with you and no one else. No other woman will enter this heart of mine except you." he vowed fiercely.

"Don't say I didn't warn you. I don't do false advertisement. In few years down the line don't turn around and ask me for compensation because I didn't warn you." "Warning accepted but I'm willing to take the risk because the more I get to know you the harder it is to imagine a life without you. That is why you must promised and do your best to stay safe, keep safe and be safe."
