319 A huge mistake to forge (1/2)

Their eyes quickly looked down, running their eyes from looking at the boss. Why was their boss having a bad mood again? Wasn't last week's temper was enough to fill the month?

Jeremy reached for a file and flipped it while listening to a man reporting his project. The chill from his body reached the one who was talking. The man almost froze, thinking he did something wrong. He pulled the tie and took a deep gulp to calm himself.

Jeremy closed the report and opened his mouth.

No one dared to speak. But most of them were lighting candles to the manager who was still standing awkwardly.

But before he could say something, someone's phone rang.

Everyone froze. Whose phone was it? Didn't that person know it is a huge mistake to forget to put the phone into silence before the meeting starts?

They were still looking secretly for the culprit when they could feel the warmth coming for the chairman's seat. They immediately turned to look at Jeremy and were stunned silly seeing a smile on Jeremy's face.

What did they see? Were they dreaming? Their grumpy boss smiled?

”The meeting adjoined. Good job, everyone,” Jeremy announced suddenly. Then, without waiting for another second, he left the meeting room.

Those who were still in the meeting room looked at each other in speechless. What just happened?

Jacob quickly followed his boss to his office. He was wondering the same thing too. Why did the boss suddenly end the meeting? According to the meeting agenda, there were still more than four reports to be presented.

”I won't return to the office. Tomorrow I will take a day off. If anything occurs, send it to my phone,” Jeremy said as he pulled the drawer to get his car key.

”Err… what?” Jacob was taken by surprise but before he could ask for an explanation, his boss already heading out of the office. He could not even catch up on Jeremy because his boss was walking so quickly, even those in the office were looking at the disappearing Jeremy with their jaw dropped down.

”B… boss… boss… wait,” Jacob called but it was useless. He sighed heavily, his shoulders dropped in disbelief. What was wrong with boss today?

Jeremy checked his watch giddily. Finally, she has returned home.

He already confirmed with her before she took the flight. She even sent him a photo before the flight departed and she looked exhausted but excited.

Who wouldn't be excited to go home?

He made a stop at the florist first to buy her a welcome back bouquet of red and white roses.

Then he waited for her at the arrival gate without the flowers. He did not want others to smell their relationship before she was ready.

And it took almost an hour of waiting before he saw her.

She smiled seeing him. Despite the disguise he put on before he reached the airport, she still could recognize him.

”Hey, you,” she said with a smile.

”Hey, back. Welcome back. Can I hug you?” he asked hopingly.

She took off the sunglasses she was wearing and looked at him with a slight smile.

”Are you sure? You are not worried?”

His hope was lifted but then she put back her sunglasses and shook her head.
