55 A Bit of Clumsy (1/2)
Jonah jerked out of his daydream and immediately gave Han Jie a glare.
Han Jie snorted at what he looked like. ”Before you fall further and decided that it was love at first sight, I am already stopping you. So be grateful.” She said to him, knowingly.
Of course, Jonah did not believe that it was something to be thankful for. He was just daydreaming, and it was not a big deal, after all the beauty already left.
Jonah was still mumbling to himself about this. However, in the near future, when he remembers this day, he would be really grateful to Han Jie.
”What is it again, miss?” he asked in a whisper, sounding confused. The elevator would be on the ground floor soon, and other people were waiting for it with them.
Han Jie grinned mischievously. ”We are going on a mission.” she said, showing him the content of her bag.
”Do you always carry your bino-that with you?” Jonah asked, trying to distract her.
”Yes, of course! You never know---Hey! You are trying to distract me!” Han Jie replied.
Jonah sighed. 'Well that didn't work.' He thought.
Han Jie did always have multiple track mind, so she gets distracted easily. Too bad for him, it did not work at this time.
”As I was saying, distracting Jonah, we are going on a mission.” Han Jie said, ignoring Jonah's sigh.
”I'm listening to you, Miss,” Jonah said, resigned. They were already on a mission since earlier. The shopping trip was supposed to be in a mall not in the Suzuki Offices, so he thinks he would not be surprised at their next action.
”We are going up and in.” Han Jie said, grinning.
Jonah looked confused and asked, ”What do you mean?”
Han Jie then looked around and behind them to make sure no one was listening. ”We are breaking into the Suzuki offices.” She said to him in a whisper, still grinning.
”But, you said you already contacted him. Meaning he must be aware that you are here, right?” Jonah said accusingly.
Han Jie blinked in surprise at Jonah. 'Right…' Han Jie smiled at him again.
”It would be worth it. Trust me.” Han Jie said as they stepped into the elevator.
”Trust me.” Jonah muttered under his breath, then snorted. They were so going to be in trouble. Though he kept reminding Han Jie to not cause problems for them, he also knew that Suzuki Kyou treats his little boss with care by basing on the CEO's action the night.
Also, since it was Jonah's responsibility to keep Han Jie safe, and because of that, he was authorized to knock her out. Jonah, of course, knew that it was only in a worst-case scenario.
Since there were restaurants in the lower part of the building, there was no problem for them to sneak into the 10th floor.
Han Jie was not satisfied with only this, though, as she tried to went to the back door towards the fire exit so she could use it to go to the twelfth floor.
The keyword was tried.
When she was busy putting something on her hands, Han Jie stepped on her untied shoelace in the 10th-floor kitchenette, more like a small storage area, effectively crashing into the well-organized stack of mug cups right in front of her. Loud crashes, and Han Jie's loud screeching could be heard from miles around.
”Oh miss what you have done?!” Jonah asked, immediately covering her mouth to stop making a noise. He then helped her up and dragged her out.
They ran towards the eleventh floor.
”Wait…” Han Jie said, more like begged, as she continued to catch her breath.
”Miss what were you doing?! You were not paying attention in times like this?” Jonah accused. Though Han Jie seems like only playing, it did not mean that it was not embarrassing to be caught and kicked out of the building. They were not even sure if Suzuki Kyou was in the building to help them.
”I was wearing my gloves, okay!” She said joyfully holding up her hands. And she was. Han Jie was wearing black gloves. Jonah noted. Unsurprising.
”Who caused this?!” They could hear someone yelled from the 1oth floor, not far from them. The small storage room of the kitchenette was just next to the fire exit, and since they did not close the door, they could hear what was going on there.
They also realized that people had already rushed into the room to check what was happening.
Before their presence be known, and people realized that the mess was their fault, Han Jie and Jonah stepped into the eleventh floor's door fire exit door.
Sadly, unlike the 10th floor that did not have the staff at their time of entry, the eleventh floor had people on it. The fire exit was next to the male and female restroom.
The employees who saw them immediately looked confused about Han Jie and Jonah's presence.
”Who are you?” A woman who was probably in her late 50s asked. Though she looked at Han Jie, her eyes lingered longer on Jonah as if eating him up.
