297 I am so stupid (1/2)

His work was too many to ignore!

He could not send Mika to her. No. He did not want to send his little sister to Ryn. Mika was busy with her wedding preparation and the launching of the cosmetic brand.

And he knew if he let's those two women together, Ryn would soon forget about him because Mika would conquer all of Ryn's time.

He sighed heavily, throwing the pen he was holding. Then, he stood up and went to look at the huge window. The scenery he always enjoyed did not give any joy. All he could think of was the time he could reunite back with his sweetheart.

Three more weeks to go.

How was she? Was she sleeping well? Having enough rest? What about her meals? Did she skip any to rush to her work?

He did not want her to ruin her health because of her jobs. And he also did not want her to lose more weight. He noticed whenever she was busy, her weight would go down despite her eating a lot. He had no idea why but he hated seeing her so skinny and weak looking.

He checked his phone but still no reply from her. Even when he checked her media social account, not much he could glean except pictures of buildings or anything that grabbed her interest. She still posted a picture a day without fail. If only she remembered to reply to his messages or call him when she had the time.

But when would she have the time?

Jacob was standing outside the room, shivering a bit. Lately, the boss was having a bad mood. Everyone was afraid to even appear in front of him or they would receive lashing of hurtful and angry words from the boss.

The female workers were crying in the bathroom the first day they saw him like that and the rest of the week they quickly ran away whenever they even hear his footsteps. That was how much they all feared him. The male workers were scared as well.

Hence, the only person who had to receive Jeremy's bad mood was him, Jacob. Whether he liked it or not, He could not run away like his other colleagues and had to face the demon in order to do his job. He lost count how many stares, glares and scolds he received from his boss.

But he could not run away. He was the personal assistant of Jeremy Long. Without him reminding his boss about appointments and meetings, and even about the progress of the projects, the company would be in huge trouble.

He would not like that.

No one wanted that.

Oh no, the boss was in a bad mood again.

When would it end? This bad mood period?

”What is it?” Jeremy asked, turning around to face his personal assistant. He cocked an eyebrow.

Jacob gulped. He held himself from hugging himself in horror. Would the boss blame him?

”If you have nothing to say, leave,” Jeremy muttered warningly.

”I....err... sir...please...” Jacob choked out. His face was pale and he could not stop wiping the swear on his face.

”Hmm...?” Jeremy just stared at his assistant, this time crossing his arms. Was this worker wanted to waste his time by stammering without reason?

”Sir... I'm sorry to interrupt you. About the project in Green Island,” Jacob paused. He did not know how to continue.

”Green Island? Problems?” Jeremy asked. It was actually a project from the main company but because he had to cover both companies, he ordered both companies to send any project progress to Jacob to report to him. The Green Island project was actually a six-star hotel overlooking the blue sea. It was situated on top of a hill and would be provided with an outdoor and indoor pool as well as private pools for each room.

Once it was launched, it would be the only hotel that has more than 200 pools.

It would be written in the Guinness Book of Record.

”Yes... sir... The... The contractor tried to run away with the money,” Jacob reported.

”Isn't the contractor comes from He Daji?” Jeremy asked. He remembered the owner of the company. The daughter tried hard to be Mika's friend but Mika refused. He did not ask the reason why but Mika told him that Jolyn talked badly about Ryn in front of her, accusing Ryn as a golddigger and Mika should stick to those from her own world aka from the socialites from rich families.
