Whiter

Part 2

Shanon was propping up his chin while staring unfocusedly at the busyness of the few employees in front of him. Today he came in early because the soft drink company that just received him three months ago held a huge welcome to its new owner.

Noire Companies. This is Shanon's new world after several in and out of the company that feels constantly tormenting him until he has to resign repeatedly. Shanon can only hope that he can last longer here.

Now Shanon is still imagining how his meeting with the man will be.

Yes, Jared Walter. He is the new owner of the company with a 52% stake in it.

What a small world, isn't it?

They were eventually reunited.

Shanon gave a small smile feeling the fiery spirit burning him. He still wondered how he would greet Jared, how the two of them would talk, and how Jared would respond.

"Hey Shany, are you still lucky in the midst of everyone here?" ask his coworker, Lowy. They were quite close as fellow receptionists.

Shanon. "I was just thinking about something."

"What's that?" Lowy raised both of his eyebrows with an understanding smile. "Oh you're thinking about our new boss?"

Shanon's mouth opened quickly to refute.

"No. I'm thinking of something else."

Lowy put his hand on the table in front of them then swung his lips.

"It's a pity, even though all the female employees are dreaming to have the handsome one."

Shanon cleared his throat. "really? What do they know about him?"

Lowy laughs. "You're so innocent, Shany." He hinted at the Noire Company headquarters building. "He is a young man, handsome and has abundant wealth. Her marriage doesn't guarantee other women won't be tempted by Jared Walter's charms."

"You're overreacting, really" responded

Shanon looked down pretending to fix the files on the table while clucking. Right yeah. He also found out about her. Jared Walter married Olivia White 3 years ago. They had one child from the wedding.

Hell, it's no secret anymore. Jared has always been the center of attention. His little family was far from the sloping news as well away from the media spotlight. A truly perfect harmonious family. Shanon knows all the information about him. He is Jared's number one stalker.

Instantly his body stiff due to the impact of anxiety. He'll meet Jared in a few minutes. Does that guy still remember?

"You don't have much information about him" Lowy said, shaking his hair. "He's our new boss. I didn't expect the world to be so fair to meet me at this company. Lucky for me," he held both cheeks proudly.

Shanon rolled his eyeballs. It felt like he was avoiding the crowd and personally chatting with Jared, but what power, this was all he could get for now. The welcoming of the main director will be carried out in the office hall along with the entire ranks of employees. He was selected as one of the employees who must welcome the President Director at the entrance to the office. It doesn't matter as long as he gets the best spot.

"You ready?" said a personnel manager named Robert while clapping his hands asking for attention. "Line. Mr. Jared's gonna be here in five minutes."

Shanon's heart was pounding as he stepped into the predetermined position. His hands were cold with a passionate heart. Five minutes passed quickly. Robert again gave instructions when a black sedan car so luxurious and shiny stopped in front of the company entrance.

"Everyone prepare your best smile."

"Yes," answered some employees no less eager.

Shanon displayed his sweet smile when Jared Walter in a white shirt, a red striped tie wrapped in black tuxedo entered the company lobby. Not so blond hair still remains the same, light blue eyeballs, sturdy jaw, chest field and high posture make almost all employees breathe in awe.

He is perfect. Totally perfect's.

"Welcome, Mr. Jared," welcome them.

Jared raised his hand, giving a friendly gesture even though his lips did not display the slightest smile. Of course he was being elegant in front of everyone. Shanon gave a small grin considering how Jared was very good at putting himself in various situations. Manager Robert shook his hand then invited and guided the new company leader to the company hall.

Shanon gulps with difficulty as Jared passes by just a few female employees greeting him.

"Good morning, sir."

"Good morning, Mr. Jared."

Jared walked with his serious expression. He's getting closer.

Shanon smoothed himself with a big smile. He unconsciously raised his hand in a familiar manner.

"Congratulations pa.gi Mr. Jared," said Shanon in a smaller voice at the end of his sentence. How not? Jared didn't look at him at all. He walked past it without the slightest attention or reply.

Shanon froze with round eyes in disbelief. The hand that was originally raised to greet the friendly Jared Walter slowly went down and clenched.

It cringes. Did Jared really just do that?

"Everything went slowly and went into the hall from the back door" Supervisor Edy ordered.

"C'mon Shany's. We can't miss everything about the new boss" Lowy said, embracing Shanon. He was withdrawn and forced to follow the wishes of his friend.

As per orders, they entered from the back door. There are no seats left except the back row. All of that explains that all employees also want to look more closely at the new owner of the company.

Still like a robot, Shanon sits with a stiff body. Lowy who chattered a lot since earlier did not realize it at all. He was too surprised.

Is Jared being professional or has he forgotten?

Shannon's powerful clenched hands were full of disappointment with lips tightening when Jared was introduced in detail by the MC, next to Jared who uttered a word to the rest of the employees. It went into the right ear and out of the left ear. He doesn't care about Jared's talk because his focus is on why?

What was?

What the hell is going on?

How could Jared just forget about it?

Employees clapped loudly as their new chief director finished his speech. Jared was seen shaking hands with several other shareholders before being led out of the hall.

"It's amazing, isn't it?" lowy said with passion. "Truly a very inspiring director."

"Uh?" shanon replied, out of focus. Lowy shriveled making him as quickly as possible let out a small smile. "Yes. You're right." He doesn't even know what's right. He only hoped that the answer was related to what Lowy had said before.

All day standing behind the reception desk, Shanon thought about what? wh why? and how is it possible? His body suddenly limp in knowing that his existence is not so important to Jared.

Suddenly his determination came. Whatever it is, he has to ask for an explanation. He must know the truth.

That's right, when Jared passed by to go home, he would say hello and chat together. Shannon waited and waited.

At exactly 5:58 a few employees were home. Regardless of what happened, the main director still did not move out of his room. Shanon grunts bored. How much longer will he have to wait? What if Jared works overtime?

At exactly 6:13, Shanon was still waiting amid the anxiety that began to dominate him. He knocked on the table in front of him earlier for the sake of calming down.

Where is that guy?

Is he really going to work late on the first day? Just be right!

Shanon's lips tightened as Jared suddenly flashed with his long strides.

Shannon's eyes widened, as lightning-fast as she ran after the man she 'for a moment' had forgotten had served as the chief director at the company she worked for.

"Jared!" the call that accidentally sounded stronger in the middle of the office lobby.

The long steps stopped. He turned around with a squeak on his forehead.

Shannon's heart was pounding out of control. This man is still so perfect even though he has been working all day in his first day. Shanon swallowed with difficulty in the reaction of his feet to look at the good looks of a Jared Walter.

"You called me?" ask her with a hoarse voice that Shanon misses so much.

Shanon nodded nervously feeling so foolish as not to prepare to face the perfection of man before him. He's getting perfect, more mature, and more adept at being professional.

Jared approached with a calm expression. "Never been taught manners?"

Shanon was surprised to feel being scolded like a child. He gasped in surprise but still tried to control himself. Shanon displays his smile and erodes the remaining distance between himself and Jared.

"Hey Jared, I'm Shanon. Have you forgotten?" ask him with radiant eyes wrapped in sadness. Shanon only realized how big his longing was after meeting a road like this.

Jared's expression grew even colder until Shanon was nervous about himself.

"You're the receptionist here?" jared continued without further ado.

Shanon nodded beginning to wet his dry lips. He was more confused why Jared could act like he did not know himself at all. This is really not good. His heart was pounding fast not because of Jared's charming appearance anymore but because of the uneasiness from the uncertainty.

Jared forgot about him?

How could?

"I can fire you right now because of your unprofessional attitude" Jared said in a loud voice. Shanon's body stiffens with all the question marks inside him. "How can a company of this size accept such an unqualified employee as you?" Jared's bell with a cynical look.

Shanon can only duck. He cursed himself for not being able to answer anything.

Shouldn't this be a good destiny?

Wasn't this supposed to be the perfect reunion?

His positive thoughts suddenly faded at the fact that Jared Walter had no memory of him at all. What else does he have to say?

His feet and hands felt cold instantly.

"You'll be facing off against the personnel manager tomorrow" Jared said firmly then immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the company's exit.

Shanon doesn't want it to end like this. He had gotten into trouble, why not make this little problem even more complex? He was already wet then why not play around a little?

His heartbeat grew stronger as he once again called out to the perfect man.

"Jared Walter!" call strong. Jared turned to him once more as if amazed at his bravery which was still acting arbitrarily towards the leader even after being warned.

"I'm not giving up. I'm not letting you go anymore."

Jared frowning did not understand make Shanon more adept at reading this situation.

"You've got a problem and just added to it,"

cerca Jared indifferently then sauntered away leaving Shanon with a trembling body full of defeat.

Soon his tears were shed not only because of the possibility that he would be fired tomorrow but also on the fact that Jared Walter had forgotten about him.

Totally forgot.
