Whiter

Part 17's

Still curious as to what Hans would do to Shanon, Jared slowly followed them. I don't know what was going through it, but he wanted to follow the great desire within himself to see what the two people were doing.

From a distance Jared watched Hans who was still carrying Shanon towards the park chair. There he sat him very carefully. Hans paid a lot of attention by kneeling in front of Shanon then pulling his hand and then observing the wound on the woman's hand.

Jared saw everything clearly. He knew Hans liked, liked Shanon very much. It was very clear from the way Hans treated her.

Jared didn't want to disturb their relationship, but the sight unsettled him. Feeling unwell, Jared turns to let Hans do what he needs to do to get Shanon's heart.

Suddenly his appetite disappeared. He had intended to reduce stress by eating delicious dishes. But given the previous events in which Shanon's rejection of Hans' treatment of the woman made him lose his lust.

Jared decided to go back to his room.

"Good day, Mr. Jared," greet Fira with clashed eyebrows. "You canceled lunch outside, sir? I'll prepare your lunch___"

Without hearing Fira's words until the end, Jared raised a hand and did not say a word. That refusal made Fira nervous for a moment. The director has been in a bad mood for a few days now. He thought it would end over time but it seemed to get worse with each passing day.

Entering back into his room, Jared decided to go into a special room for him to rest. He would not let anyone into this room. He even cleaned his own room. If he is in a bad mood or works overtime until he does not have time to go home then he will do it here.

After removing and hanging his suit, Jared laid his body on the bed and stared at the ceiling of his special room. The days are getting empty and stifling. He needed rest but could not close his eyes to do so. He needs entertainment but none of them can entertain him.

He pulled his tie violently, took off the top button of his shirt and exhaled long breaths like a desperate man.

Why does someone seem jealous?

Jealous of their own subordinates. The subordinate who acted recklessly, incompetently was also too reckless. She's a woman he's desperate to get rid of at the beginning of his meeting. Why did everyone turn around to attack him? Is it because of a kiss? What is the lack of Olivia? She is a beautiful woman, a good mother, competent also diligent. As for the size of a wife, Olivia was already close to the word perfect. So what is less? What is less?

Jared patted his own forehead while closing his eyes.

He tried so hard to forget everything. For several days he had been trying to eliminate Shanon from his life. Instead of succeeding, the desire to get close to Shanon is even greater.

Shanon is like a drug. He has already smoked the drug once and is now addicted. He knew the drugs were dangerous but his body's desire was greater than his common sense.

The woman won.

Jared had already lost even on the third day after that last meeting. No. gabe.

Jared pressed his teeth firmly. Actually he had lost since the beginning of his meeting with Shanon.

That's how the days went by for Jared. He was more confined to the workspace, especially that special room. Like a coward, he kept on doing the same thing. Hiding, holding back and contemplating. Continually contemplating.

Today is exactly one week since Jared last saw Shanon with Hans. He thought avoiding a direct gaze with Shanon would work, the reality getting worse.

Needy!

His brain is filled only by how to restore the spirit of the old Jared Walter, how to forget the woman, and many things that have always been about Shanon.

He's almost crazy.

Everything felt wrong for him.

As a result, all employees who are directly related to him will be sprayed with anger.

This morning he was indignantly indistinct just because the coffee did not taste right with his tongue. Fira who is usually cheerful and calm when dealing with him lately suddenly dodged as much as possible. Jared knows he's not himself anymore. Every day his work is filled with erratic tantrums.

He exploded because nothing was to his liking.

Rumors about his bad mood have spread to every side of the office. Now all the employees even hurriedly dodged when Jared passed by.

"Can you work right?!" he snapped at one of the financial managers who delivered some reports to him. "Are you paid to laze with your work?!"

"Sorry Mr. Jared's. I've tried as much detail as possible to check every report" the manager said trying not to ignite Jared's anger again. "I'm sorry this one report missed my check, Mr. Jared's. I'll try to fix it today."

That sharp look was so piercing to the manager. "You must correct this mistake today."

"Good Mr. Jared's. Excuse me." The manager bowed then walked out of the room that already felt like hell.

"Stupid!" hiss Jared then pulled one file over his desk roughly.

"You've heard that the perfectionist financial manager has also been the victim of Mr. anger. Jared today?" said Reina, financial staff at Lowy and several employees who were having lunch together.

"really?" connect Lowy with round eyes.

Reina nodded. "He was also on a rampage because of the coffee this morning. I'm also confused as to why his attitude has changed drastically." He stared one by one the employees full of question marks. "Does this happen to every company? Are new directors always good at the beginning but after a month of work, they turn into monsters like other company leaders?"

One of them connects. "Maybe he's having a family problem."

"It's weird to bring family problems to work."

"Yes. That's very unprofessional" said another.

That rumor has been growing among employees over the past few days. Shanon listened and declined to comment. He was busy with the food in front of him.

Since then, Shanon has decided not to bother Jared anymore. He doesn't want to get hurt just because he hopes for people he doesn't get.

His plan failed miserably until he thought about letting things go the way they should. If Jared doesn't start first then he won't do anything else. It was better that he did not constantly feel humiliated.

"Shanon, why are you quiet?" lowy's question surprised him.

"Oh.." he looked at the food and then nervously replied, "Oh I'm really hungry." With a stiff smile he put food in his mouth. "We should enjoy our meals and our rest hours with positive things."

Lowy clucked and returned to their conversation. Shanon grunting. He won't interfere with any of Jared's behavior. That guy is more scary than usual. Every employee talks about his spiciness every day. For Shanon it is not unnatural considering he has felt it first.

"Gee... Can't you wait for us?"

Shanon shook his head and pointed at their plate which was still filled with food. "You haven't even started yet. How long will I wait" he said with a laugh.

"You are unfaithful" Lowy said.

"I want to have coffee."

"You can order it here."

He shook. "I want my own coffee."

Reina squinted her eyes. "Don't tell me you want to secretly meet Hans."

Shanon laughing. "Don't make things up. I really want to enjoy my own coffee. See you later." He passed by leaving those who were busy babbling about strange things.

While in the office kitchen, Shanon's phone rang.

"Hallo Vi?"

"Yes!!" viella's screams deafened her ears.

"Hey! Don't yell."

Viella laughs. "I want to meet you. We haven't talked for a long time."

"I miss you too."

"What if we meet this weekend?" Viella's advice was so excited. "Let's have a drink together."

"Drink?" Shanon thinks about his schedule for the weekend. He intends to tidy up his abandoned house for a full week due to his erratic job at the office. But a little entertainment won't matter, will it? "Okay. Where's?"

"Bar 88."

Shanon clucking. "You don't have any other bar recommendations other than 88?"

"Hm... No," answered the friend. "All right, I gotta get on with work, see you at the weekend."

"See you."

Shanon disconnects his call with a slingshot. You drunken Viella!

Just as he was about to put his phone on the table, his hands clashed with the hot coffee he had just brewed.

"Aw hot!" the pekik took one step back. He shook his hand that was hit by the hot water. Just a little but so painful. His hand flushed for a moment.

"Damn!" hissing pain.

Amidst his fluttering of hands, someone pulled his arm, led him towards the sink and pulled his flushed hand down the sink shower. The cold sensation that was so sudden made his hand feel sore. It sizzles automatically.

"You don't even know the first aid procedure?"

Shanon looked at his hand which was in Jared's soft grasp. He stopped the flow of water, picked up a tissue and gently wiped Shanon's hand.

Shanon swallowed with difficulty when he felt the overreaction of his body when he came into small contact with Jared.

Trying hard to regain consciousness, Shanon is finally able to move. He pulled his hand with an unfriendly gesture. Their gazes met, from Jared who looked calm to Shanon who looked unfriendly.

"Thank you Mr. Jared," he said slowly, bowing briefly and then stepping past Jared.

"You really did what I said?" jared said with Shanon behind him.

"I don't need to explain anything to you" replied Shanon silently on the spot while touching his bruised hand.

Still in the opposite position, Jared continued his words, "You look good."

"Oh... Thanks." Thanks." Shanon did not want to linger in this awkward situation, so he again stepped towards the exit.

"You like Hans?" Connect Jared quickly.

Langkah Shanon lagi-lagi terhenti. Apa yang Jared inginkan? Apa penghinaannya belum juga cukup?

"I'm not used to revealing personal things to strangers."

"So I'm a stranger now?"

"Why? You mind?" Shanon turned around and found Jared facing him first. His eyes narrowed unhappily. "You say to forget everything, isn't that a sign you're asking to be treated like a stranger?"

"I'm the director of this company" Jared denied.

Shanon clucked in an inexhaustible manner. "Are the employees in this world telling their personal things to the director of the company? There aren't. So don't be friendly with me, because I can misunderstand you again and destroy your bastion of kindness." Shanon turned around quickly and walked almost leaving Jared there.

While in the doorway, Jared said something that surprised him greatly. Something that almost got him drunk on the spot.

"I can't stop thinking about you."

Shannon's steps stopped again and again. His feet trembled at those very unexpected words. Shanon felt a fresh breeze that was so soothing to his soul and body. He did not want this moment to end. He wants to be spoiled by Jared's romantic words continuously.

He wanted to but.....
