348 Why is he so happy? (1/2)

What happened to the boss today? Had something good happened to him for him to even smile at them?

Jacob who was checking a proposal quickly stood up when he noticed his arrival.

”Boss,” he greeted.

”Hmm… what's my schedule for today?” Jeremy asked as he walked into his office with Jacob following behind him.

Jacob opened the date for today and started to read loudly what Jeremy's schedule of the day. Jeremy switched on the computer while listening to his personal assistant. He glanced at the mountain of files on his table but there was no frustration on his face, like what he usually had when he saw them.

”For the lunch meeting, confirm back the time and venue,” Jeremy said.

”Okay, boss. The dinner meeting?” Jacob asked.

”Confirm it back. Also, give me the details half an hour before we leave,” Jeremy decided.

”Yes, sir,” Jacob nodded.

”If there is nothing more, you can go back to your table,” Jeremy said.

Jacob excused himself and went to his seat. He was wondering what made the boss so happy. Was it because of Miss Catherine? Had she agreed to have lunch… no, it could not be. Jacob shook his head at the thought. If Miss Catherine agreed with the meal, the boss would not agree with the lunch meeting. Even if it was dinner, the boss has a meeting too during dinner. Today, the boss has so many meetings to attend, it would be impossible for both of them to have a meal together.

So, what made the boss so happy today?

Jacob spent about fifteen minutes pondering over this. He did not even notice Jeremy walking passing him. His eyes gazed at the monitor dazedly, too deep in his thought.

The others were not like him. They noticed the boss coming out of his office and quickly stood up to greet him. Jeremy just waved his hands, signalling them to continue their work. Jeremy was not even angry when his own personal assistant did not notice him. He kept smiling as he walked toward the elevator.

”Hey, do you know what happens to the boss?” one of them asked as they surrounded Jacob.

”Don't ask me. I don't know,” Jacob shook his head, snapping back from his thought by the sudden question.

”You should know. You're his personal assistant. Surely he said something, right?” another colleague asked with the others nodded quickly.

”I don't know. I really don't know. Why don't you focus on your work? We don't want to make the boss angry, do we?” Jacob cocked an eyebrow.

Jeremy was unaware of his workers' thought. His mind was full with what he did with his love, Ryn, last night. And he determined to repeat back their hot night tonight. And preferably at his place, rather than at her place. He did not want to feel like a thief trying to get into her house. She did not want their relationship to be revealed to the public, hence, he had to make sure no one noticed him entering her house. It was stressful… well… in theory. He did not remember feeling nervous last night. His mind was busy with plans to make her agree for spending more time together with him. It was not nerve-wracking at all.

He pushed the button to go downstairs. His stomach was growling in hunger. Because of Ryn had to leave early, they had to scrape the idea of having breakfast together. They could not even share the same elevator. He left first to go to his car while she stayed to lock the door before took the next elevator trip to go downstairs to Mei Li.

He bumped into more workers on his way to the cafeteria. Again, he replied their polite greetings with a smile and a wave of his hand. He did not even announce his arrival, simply entering the premise alone with one hand in the pocket while another holding his phone.

Some of the workers were still having their breakfast when he entered the area. Some who noticed him almost dropped the food they were eating and stood up to greet him.

”Continue your meal,” Jeremy said with a smile. He headed straight to the counter to see what food was offered today. He knew not all meals were prepared on a daily basis. Hence, he needed to see first before he could choose what he wanted to have for breakfast. He chose fried noodle with a bowl of soup for his breakfast and a glass of soybean milk for a drink.

He chose an empty table to have his breakfast. No one dared to come close, thinking it was too high of risk just in case it would make him angry. They just watched him from afar, wondering why he was having breakfast here and also why was he smiling while looking at his phone.

He actually spent the time checking her IG account. He could not stop from smiling seeing how beautiful she looked in each photo. He knew she did not try hard to pose and it was natural for her. It made it more special. She was such a natural and the camera loved her. He loved her too.

Once he was done with his meal and enjoying her photos at the same time, he went back to his office. He smiled at everyone as they greeted him politely.

Jacob again followed him into his room with his planner.
