Chapter 3 - Mr. Dreamy (1/2)

”Yanee Lee, you're late…”

Eh?

Eeeeh?

EEEEEEEEH?

If she weren't so shocked, Yanee would have screamed like a crazy girl that she felt she was at the moment. Instead, her pair of huge chocolate eyes fixated themselves on the newcomer, feasting at the handsome vision before her.

Well, at least that was true.

Tohru James, with his six-feet-two lean frame was a sight to behold. He had a shock of dark brown hair on top of his head that was haphazardly combed but still looked nice, a pair of intense dark brown gaze, lashes that could make any woman jealous as they were long and curled naturally like a girl's after minutes of torture from the curler, and high cheekbones that could put shame to women who needed tricky contouring.

If there was something that she could complain about his looks, it would be his thin pair of lips that although still looked nice, was always clamped into a thinner line that made him look like he's always displeased about something.

Like right now.

Uh… well, it might actually be because he was really displeased at the moment.

”Late?”

Yanee choked at the word, making Tohru raise one dark eyebrow in her direction before lifting his arm to look at the obviously expensive wristwatch he had on.

”Two minutes late to be exact,” he announced, making Yanee look at him as if he'd gone mad.

However, Tohru didn't show any sign that he had seen or he minded her attitude. Instead, he continued to speak with a tone that neither told anyone if he's angry nor didn't mind. Aside from his initial rebuke about Yanee being late, he looked like he didn't care.

”But I've been here for ten minutes now,” Yanee muttered audibly, her voice sounding stressed, but she was ignored.

”Miss Tan, I hope you've already informed her of the changes?”Tohru James asked Chummy who stood in full attention the entire time since he showed up.

”Sir, yes, sir,” Chummy answered snappily as if she was a soldier replying to the drill sergeant. ”Well, kind of…”

Her voice trailed off as Chummy really hadn't told her anything aside from the takeover and her new position. Yanee didn't even know HE was here. Why was he here? She badly wanted to know.

After that time she finished interviewing Tohru James, Yanee was not expecting to see him again. Ever. Not only were they not related in their respective fields although they were both working for publishing companies, but their personal lives were also far too different as well.
