305 A delicious helpless deer (1/2)

Jeremy did not wait for Jacob collecting his bag. He simply went to the exit with Greg trying to keep up with him.

”Hey, wait up,” Greg called him when it seemed like the distance between them getting bigger. He really needed to go back to the gym to exercise!

He was getting older now and his stamina was not as good as when they were in school.

He finally managed to catch up with Jeremy although when he reached his friend, he was breathless.

”Hey, why are you so rushing as if there is no tomorrow?” he asked.

”I have a lot of work to do. I need to return to the office,” Jeremy replied.

Greg quickly got into the car Jeremy was in. He did not drive a car here and would rather be a thick-skinned rather than spending a lot of money to hire a taxi to bring him to his office. Besides, the car belonged to Jeremy's family and as his friend, it was normal for Greg to 'help himself' with transportation.

Jeremy did not comment. He simply tapped his hand on the window while waiting for Jacob to bring their bag into the bonnet. He frowned slightly. His personal assistant was quite as slow as a tortoise today. Was he too reluctant to return to work?

Maybe it was time for the HR department to conduct a team-building trip for the workers, he thought silently. He could not let his workers getting lazier, especially when he was no longer there to watch over them. He did not trust much on Mika because all she could think of right now was her wedding. She would not care anything else except for the day she would be finally united with the love of her life, Jason.

Although he had the idea, he did not open his mouth. He knew once Jacob knew about the team-building trip, he would tell everyone and they would start looking for excuses to be excluded from the trip. Jeremy would not accept it.

Jacob could feel something fishy coming from his boss. His boss was too quiet sitting at the back but Jacob could feel his eyes on his back. Why was the boss looking at him like a tiger looking at a delicious helpless deer? Him, being the cute helpless deer, shivered unconsciously and tried to ease this uncomfortable feeling by rubbing his arms.

Jacob was still trying to think positively about why his boss still staring at his back but failed. He just could not think of any good reason behind Jeremy's weird behaviour.
