A knock came on Luca’s office door.
“Come in.”
Wyatt came in with a file and placed it on Luca’s desk.
“What took you so long?” Luca asked. Wyatt waved his hand, trying to say it was nothing.
Luca noticed the glint of his silver ring on his finger.
“You’re married?!” Luca questioned, surprised.
Wyatt saw where Luca was looking towards, and covered his right hand. He blushed, shaking his head.
“Don’t just shake your head, your expression says at all.” Luca said. “And I can’t believe you didn’t invite me to your wedding. Wasn’t I your guys’ biggest supporter?”
Luca showed a pained expression, making Wyatt roll his eyes.
Wyatt took out his phone and typed:
[I’m really not.]
“Then why suddenly wear a ring, and on your fourth finger too?”
Wyatt blushed harder.
[I’m engaged.]
“Then congratulations for getting engaged. Your boyfrie- no, I guess it’s fiancee now, moves pretty fast.”
“So tell me, how was the proposal?” Luca asked.
[It’s not appropriate to talk about private affairs in the workplace.]

No wonder the other company had an issue with the contract. There were a lot of errors that needed to be fixed. Luca sent the memos to the different departments, and worked on his part. After a few hours, everything was fixed, and Luca sent the contract to the other company via email, and also apologized on behalf of the company. The other company oversaw the contract and confirmed that they would sign it.
After the issue was fixed, Luca finally felt like he could relax, and decided to take a small nap. Maybe after he woke up he could go home, with a certain grumpy one waiting for him. He smiled at the thought. Luca leaned over, his head on the desk, slipping into a soundless sleep.
Ren’s disheveled appearance startled the receptionist, but after taking another look at the youth, he seemed quite handsome. He was also quite young, so maybe he was lost, or even looking for someone.
Ren didn’t pay attention to the receptionist because he was busy catching his breath. He could stay here and rest for a while, if they allowed him to.
“Excuse me, can I help you?” The receptionist asked.
Ren finally noticed her. “Er, where is this?”
As expected, this boy was probably lost.
“This is Brillianze.” She answered.
What were the odds of him ending up here? Ren didn’t even have the energy to feel anything, much less surprised.
“Are you looking for some other place, I can help you search for it?” The receptionist offered.
“No, I’m looking for someone here.” Ren said.
The receptionist nodded. “So who are you looking for? I can call them for you.”
Ren wanted to say Luca, but then realized it would be crazy to say that. He was just a stranger, so who was he, claiming to see the chairman? He didn’t even have the phone, so he could let Luca know his location.
Seeing Ren just standing there, the receptionist prompted, “Do you have an appointment with someone here?”
Ren shook his head. The receptionist looked troubled. Just then, from the corner of his eye, Ren saw the man across the street through the glass doors. The man met his eyes, and made a threatening gesture.
How could he be so stupid? They could track his scent. The receptionist didn’t notice Ren’s growing panic, and was about to say something.
Just then, the elevator doors opened. Without thinking, Ren rushed in.
The receptionist turned pale when she saw Ren get in.That was a private elevator, meant for only higher-ups. Even ordinary employees couldn’t use it, much less a stranger that just walked in.
“Hey! Wait, you can’t-” The receptionist shouted.
But the elevator doors were already shut. Seeing this, the receptionist pressed the emergency security button. Ren was unaware of this, and pressed the button to the top most floor. He could try to hide there. Hopefully he would be able to go unnoticed and not get kicked out.
He walked onto the topmost floor, but before he could give a sigh of relief, a large hand landed on top of his shoulder. Ren turned around to see a security guard staring at him harshly.
“I don’t think you belong here.” He said. Ren shrugged his hand off. The guard was surprised by the boy’s strength, but didn’t let it show.
“I’m here to see someone.”
“Here?” The guard said doubtfully. “This place is reserved only for the higher ups. Don’t fool around.”
The officer tried to grab Ren again, but Ren dodged him easily. Ren knew he could easily defeat this guy, but he didn’t want to cause trouble at Luca’s workplace. Besides, the guy was just doing his job, though he was also annoying Ren quite a bit.
“I’m not playing around, I’m serious.”
“Yeah, and I’m the CEO of this company. Come on, you’re just wasting my time now.”
The security guard refused to let Ren pass, and Ren refused to leave. Soon, the two were in a deadlock.
[What’s happening here?]
The familiar mechanical voice rang in Ren’s ears. Turning around, he saw Wyatt standing there, with a file in his hands. He seemed mildly surprised to see Ren.
The security guard just waved his hand.
“Nothing, just trying to make this troublesome kid go away.”
[No need for that. He’s with me.]
The security guard almost thought he had misheard.
“With you?”
[Yes, he’s not trespassing. No need to drive him away.]
The Wyatt glanced at Ren.
[Follow me.]
Ren didn’t need to be told twice. He sidestepped the dumbstruck security guard, and followed Wyatt down the hallway.
[Are you here to see the chairman?]
Ren nodded, suddenly feeling nervous to visit Luca at work. Wyatt led him down the hallway, until he finally reached a door in the corner. ‘Chairman’s Office’ was engraved onto the door.
Wyatt knocked on the door. No one answered. Wyatt frowned, and slightly opened the door. Ren peered through the crack, and saw the office was empty.
[Seems as if he’s not here. You can wait in the office, I’ll look for him and tell him about your arrival.]
“Alright.” Ren said. Wyatt left Ren alone in the office. The office was smaller than he expected. The papers were scrambled all over the table. That was unsurprising. Ren sat down on the only chair in the room. It still felt warm, meaning Luca left only recently. Ren leaned into the chair, tired from the long day of running. He wondered how he could explain his presence here to Luca.
I’m glad he ran into Wyatt before the security guards had a chance to kick him out. 😅
Thanks for the chapter!
maybe it is time to be honest? just tell him who is following you and maybe he can protect you better?
Thanks for the chapter! <3
I’m loving Wyatt more and more lmao
