The System In My Head

First day of wet work

*Tap***Tap*

"Lake in." Paul was having coffee at his desk in the morning.

"You want to see me, dad?" Laura walked in.

Paul frowned. "I told you never to call me that in the office."

"...Excuse me, sir." Laura lowered her head.

A little while later, Paul's face died down. "You're here early, that's great."

He's nodding. "As you always say: if someone wants to be successful at this company, they should come in early and go home the slowest."

In his response, Paul showed a rare smile. "It's commendable that you listen." She did not notice the dark circles under her eyes that were covered by makeup ... "Well, the reason I'm calling you is I want you to take care of something for me. You remember the apprentice Benjamin Romero we hired a few days ago?"

Laura nodded. 'How can I forget ...'

After sipping his coffee, Paul explained further. "He was assigned to our department and I'll put him under you. I'm asking you to help him .. quit the company."

Laura furrowed her brows. It took him a few seconds to understand the implications, and he didn't like it. "May I ask ... why, Sir?"

Paul thins his eyes, but still answers. "The company does not need such inexperienced people who cause chaos in the office. He'll just be a time bomb to our department and will undermine our evaluation with top-level management."

Laura disagreed. He thought Ben showed promise during the interview, but he could only listen to the man who was his father and boss. He sighed inside but still complied. "I get it, I'll handle it."

"Good, you can get back to work." Paul returned his attention to his computer.

As Laura walked out of her office, she frowned. He did not want this new task, but what could he do? This is the career he chose.

After Annabelle leaves to return home, Ben prepares for work. He made a mistake in the assessment last night. The way it works, he doesn't use melons as a pillow, but a bumper...

Seeing him was a pleasant change of pace for him. She knows it is important to keep in regular contact with the girls she dates; if not seeing them, at least SMS. Of course, she also sends SMSes to her other girls on a regular basis. In fact, there is some science to it. Antonio tells her that after the relationship, how often to stay in touch depends on the girl.

Many girls prefer aloof men, including Annabelle, but Katie and Miyuki are more sensitive, especially Katie. So, if he doesn't see the two of them, Ben texts them and shares a few lines of banter every day. In fact, Katie herself often sends him messages so she doesn't even need to contact him.

After getting dressed, Ben prepares for his first day of work, and he leaves.

5 minutes later, Ben returns to his dorm room because he gets the urge to defecate...

'There's no way I'm going to land on the moon in a public toilet with this dearest...'

***

2 Minutes later, he went to work again. 'That's a false alarm ...'

'I'm my own man now!' Benny BeVito growing...

...

After visiting Human Resources, she receives directions to her new workplace and soon arrives on her floor. Walking inside, he was amazed at the number of busy and serious office people working hard early in the morning. After all, this was his first decent job.

"Benjamin..." A voice called to him.

Turning around, he saw a pleasant sight. Beautiful office lady Laura looks as good as ever, with her glasses, black high heels, open legs, black skirt and cute pink shirt.

"Good morning." Ben smiled, but he behaved less formally than responding to his mental image bending over the table...

Recalling where they left off last, he opened his attraction status.

[Current target attraction level: rejected (-3)]

'What has happened?' The last time he interviewed her, her interest rose by 3 levels, but now it's coming back down. This decay is too fast to be a natural process. Still, Ben didn't know what the problem was, so he didn't think about it.

Right now, the only ones who know the reason for Laura's mindset change are her, and Paul.

With a cold attitude, she welcomes Ben to her new job, though she is sure she will not stay long. "Welcome to the Department of Public Relations at Hearth Communications. Here, our main task is to interact with external stakeholders of the company. You have been assigned temporarily to work under me. My specific work is concerned with organizing, scheduling, and managing relationships between many Hearth media departments and outside associates."

"...Can you give me an example of what you mean by an outside colleague?" Ben's head has started to fall apart due to business jargon, but he needs to learn everything to achieve his goals. 'I need to hurry up and get boss status so I can take part in the famous exchange for promotion.'

...

Laura adjusted the glasses on her cold face. "Outside partners include advertising clients, corporate partners, audience groups, government agencies, and more. We even manage bookings for celebrities and guests for many of our video and print publications. Understood?"

Ben nodded. 'He returned to his cheerful self as always...'

"good. Then let's start right away. As an apprentice, I will send you to liaison between various internal and external parties to handle many tasks." He then showed a seductive smile. "I'm sure you'll learn a lot ..."

He did not like the look of that smile at all. It reminded her of the smile the children gave the ants before taking out their magnifying glass... Or as he gave the girls, when they blew it up it was almost done and had no idea what was going to happen...

Either way, he didn't want to be on the edge of that smile .. except with his shonson ...

Too bad he had no other choice.

"Follow me." Laura turned around and led the way. He had already thought of many "pulling" challenges to send Ben to hell. Little did he know, he had already experienced his first challenge — staring at something swaying from behind while trying to hold back his mistake.

However, soon, something else caught all his attention.
