Chapter 8: (A sin in the cubicle)
The two employees, Yi Chen and Zi Xin has been secretly dating for months now. Clearly no one in the company knew about their intimacy.
After work that day, Zi Xin was the last to leave her desk. She had been busy working on a lot of files and when she was done, the place was empty.
She walked into the elevator, pressing the buttons and relaxed as the elevator doors began closing, but her heart skipped when a hand suddenly stretched out from outside into the elevator disrupting the elevator doors from closing. The elevator doors moved back open and she breathed in relief seeing it was Yi Chen.
"Are you crazy, you almost gave me a heart attack",
she said and he smirked.
"Thought I was a ghost?", He asked.
"No, I don't know, look it was just startling okay, why are you still here anyways?",
she asked stepping out of the elevator and standing a step from him.
"I've been waiting for the love of my life",
he said and she rolled her eyes.
"You're always so dramatic ",
she said and he raised a brow. "I'm sure the word you meant was romantic ",
he said and she scoffed.
"Romantic my foot, you're only full of drama then think you're being romantic",
she said and he frowned, then changed the frown to a grin. He leaned closer to her, his lips almost touching her ears as he whispered.
"How about I show you just how romantic I can be",
he whispered and without giving her a chance to react, he carried her in a bridal style towards the male's toilet. she didn't protest, obviously in support of whatever he was about to do. In their hearts, they were the only ones left at the company and no one would be finding out about this sin they were about to commit.
The security guards were all outside patrolling the building and even if they were any in the lobby, the toilet didn't have CCTV cameras. If only they knew, their boss had actually arrived at the company three hours ago and was in his office working late.
They were indeed caught up in the pleasures they were having, moaning loudly not caring how their moans echoed. They didn't even bother locking the cubicle door being so caught up in the moment. Sadly their pleasures came to an end when the cubicle door was opened and they turned to see Lei Zhang glaring at them.
They immediately detached from each other, buttoning shirts and zipping up trousers as sweats of fear not pleasure anymore slid down their faces. Even if they were eventually caught by someone, they definitely weren't expecting it to be their boss.
This guy's appearance had literally sucked the warmth away.

Xiao Yanran rode her bicycle on her school uniform the next early morning to Mrs Gao's restaurant.
Parking the bicycle in front and walking into the restaurant, she smiled seeing the tall skinny guy at the counter 'Hao Ran'. She walked up to him.
His eyes were still glued to the novel he was reading until she knocked on the counter.
"Yanran",
he said surprised to see her as he kept the book.
"Xup, I came to place my resignation letter to Mrs Gao",
she said and the glad expression on his face earlier changed.
"you're resigning", he said.
"Yes, I really need to devote all of my time into studying now, my parents threatened that if I don't graduate out of high school, I'm done with school, and I know they mean it", she said and he nodded.
"It's okay, I understand ", he said.
"Thanks for always covering up for me every time I couldn't make it to work, I can't imagine how stressful it was working but day and night shifts in those times, so, as a token of appreciation, I got you a present ",
she said bringing out a small box.
"You didn't have to, were friends aren't we", he said.
"Yes, so take it as a gift from your friend ",
she said sliding the box on the counter to him and he exhaled before taking the box and opening it.
Inside the box was a wrist watch, it didn't look expensive but it was still beautiful, although the colour was quite odd.
"Its pink", he said.
"Yes, pink is my favourite colour ",
she said smiling and Hao Ran couldn't help rubbing his temple's.
This girl was sweet, nice and honest but she really had a low IQ. If someone wanted to buy a present for someone and colour picking has to be involved, they'd try to find out the person's colour preference and not just pick their own Favourite colour, but even if they had to pick a colour themselves, when was the last time she had seen a guy his age wearing a pink watch.
"It's nice, looks like a barbie watch though", he said.
"I know right, I actually saw one with barbie pictures on them but that one was more expensive",
she said shocking him. She had literally wanted to buy him a barbie watch.
"No need, I prefer this one", he said and she nodded.
"Glad you like it, hand the letter to Mrs Gao for me",
she said dropping the letter on the counter before waving good bye and leaving the restaurant.

Lei Zhang was seated at his table in his office operating his computer when his office door opened and Xu Jin walked in.
He sat on the chair opposite Lei Zhang but Lei Zhang didn't take his eyes of the screen and Xu Jin cleared his throat.
"How is Xu Yun?", Lei Zhang finally asked, his eyes still on the screen.
"He's fine, he's still in the hospital though but he'll be discharged tonight", Xu Jin said and Lei Zhang nodded.
"Alright, where are the game engine project files I was supposed to go through yesterday?", Xu Jin asked.
"I did them yesterday ", Lei Zhang said surprising Xu Jin.
"You must have been in a good mood yesterday to actually come back and work on a lot of files. That means the tutoring with this Xiao Yanran girl went well",
Xu Jin said and Lei Zhang finally took his eyes off the monitor to Xu Jin. If only he knew that it was actually because he felt guilty yesterday. He sighed before turning off the computer.
"It didn't go that well",
Lei Zhang said and Xu Jin raised a brow.
"She has a low IQ", Lei Zhang said.
"Oh, so you're not interested in her anymore?",
Xu Jin asked and Lei Zhang exhaled.
"Well she isn't a spy and despite the low IQ.....",
Lei Zhang paused then continued.
"I think I'm attracted to her, I had her stop working so the tutoring can be more effective, plus I offered to tutor her for free",
Lei Zhang said surprising Xu Jin. Xu Jin had already suspected Xiao Yanran having a low IQ but didn't want to be the one to say it.
If someone with a much higher IQ had seen Lei Zhang, they'd definitely know he wasn't any home tutor or a middle class worker judging from his expensive suits, shoes, watch, even how he scents of expensive perfumes. Anyone could tell he was lieing about his identity.
"I can see you're really taking this serious, thank goodness I stocked your wardrobe at Fengxian with middle class clothes",
Xu Jin said then something clicked in his mind.
"You had said something about Yang Zhi offering you a partnership",
Xu Jin said and Lei Zhang heaved a sigh.
"I can't just turn him down, based on my observations, he seems threatened by my company, suddenly wanting to partner with me is suspicious and if he actually has ulterior motives, refusing his partnership won't solve the problem, he'll still look for another way to archive his motives", Lei Zhang said.
"So let me guess, you're planning on using his own game against him, keeping the enemies closer, you're going to accept the partnership just to get an idea of what he's plotting then end up giving him a taste of his own medicine",
Xu Jin said and Lei Zhang nodded. As always, he never had to say much to get Xu Jin to understand him.
"Alright then, I'll arrange a meeting for the both of you this afternoon",
Xu Jin said standing up to leave but suddenly remembered something and turned back to Lei Zhang.
"I didn't see Yi Chen and Zi Xin at work today", Xu Jin said.
"I fired them" Lei Zhang said.
"Seriously?", you literally fired An Mei the day before and now you fire two more employees ", Xu Jin said.
"Rules are rules and every rule when broken has only one consequence ",
Lei Zhang said and Xu Jin rolled his eyes.
"Can't you be flexible sometimes " Xu Jin said.
"Even if I had to be flexible, theirs was definitely worth firing, they were having an affair in the males toilet cubicle last night "
Lei Zhang said and Xu Jin's eyes widened.
"Okay fine, I guess theirs crossed the line but still, you're still not flexible with other employees execpt me and that's why people think we're dating ", Xu Jin said.
"Well should I stop being flexible towards you?",
Lei Zhang said and Xu Jin glared at him.
"I was on my way out ",
he said turning to leave.
"Wait",
Lei Zhang said and he turned back.
"The paparazzi behind the post has been caught and at the police station, we could go to the station after my meeting with Yang Zhi",
Lei Zhang said and Xu Jin nodded before leaving. T.B.C
