Chapter 149 - Stared At

Yoo Shiro felt trapped.. Here he was sitting in his brother's office, wearing a stuffy suit with pile of files in front of him.. How his brother had managed to complete so many files in a week was beyond him. He only had to pretend to read them while here for the next week but he felt as if his brother was a demon. Just then the door opened and Cheng Mo walked in. He placed another stack of files on the side and respectfully said, "These are the files that needed to be worked on. Boss said that you can do this work and then send it over to him when you are done..and he can approve it.."

Yoo Shiro stared at the growing piles in front of him as if it was an eight headed monster! What was the meaning of this! He had been able to deflect taking the responsibility of running his own business by hiring talented people but now his brother was going to make him work like a slave.. while he was out there having fun! Yoo Shiro looked up as if blaming the fates for giving him such a brother. They had found each other after so many years and instead of going on trip together to bond with each other, his brother used him so that he could spend some time with his wife!Where was the justice in this! (Fates: you want to go on a honeymoon with your brother? Yoo Shiro: Ewwww no!)

Yoo Shiro looked at his brother's assistant and complained loudly, "My brother is a maniac! How did he even find the time to fall in love with my sister in law if he is micro managing his business?Why are there so many files?Do you make profits by not hiring many people?"

Yoo Shiro looked at Cheng Mo and frowned when he saw the man's face. He was looking at him so intently. He growled under his breath and asked, "Cheng Mo! Why are you staring at me?"

Cheng Mo nodded seriously and said," Though I have believed the boss to be a maniac many times, it is very disconcerting to listen it from his own mouth. What I mean is you look the same so it just seems unbelievable.. Oh and as far as I know, he has loved Miss Xie before he became a maniac. And our company does have many people but they are handling the existing businesses. These files are investment ventures he is considering so they are relatively new companies that he wants to take over.."

Yoo Shiro, who had already lost interest in the prattle of this talkative assistant, suddenly looked up with interest. Well Well! This was his chance to get to know more about his brother. He looked at Cheng Mo once again, narrowed his eyes and gave a gloating smile. His brother had left for the hills but this piece of treasure was left with him. Cheng Mo who had apparently been his brother's aide for a long time. His brother's most trusted or rather only trusted man..

Cheng Mo felt a chill through his body when he saw the weird look in the boss' brother's eyes. It was not easy for him to look at this person and not think of him as boss but this kind of a smile, it made him creep out. He wanted to cover himself and run out of the office like a maiden from the olden times, who had just spotted a feral dog. He cleared his throat and was about to make a run for it when Yoo Shiro said, "Cheng Mo. Let's play games.."

Automatically, Cheng Mo crossed his arms in front of him in a panicky gesture and stuttered "Wh what games?" While Cheng Mo's imagination was going wild, Yoo Shiro took out hi phone and logged on to the latest shooting game. It was only after Cheng Mo saw the game being played that he breathed a sigh of relief and readily fished out his phone..

Actually the boss had already instructed him that he had to keep this person entertained so that they would keep busy and not get in the way. So playing games could be considered his duty and it could be said that he was only working. And being a diligent employee, he would enjoy his work to the fullest. 

As the two people started to play, Yoo Shiro began his next mission of fishing information from Cheng Mo. He could not have asked directly as this would be reported back to his brother,but fishing out snippets between the conversation and even if something reached his ears, it would not look over the top and threatening. He had yet to confess about the whole Xu Nora thing and he could not afford to offend his brother at this stage. He ws amazed at the little details he was able to glean and even laughed his ass off as Cheng Mo told him about how his brother had come in with torn clothes on his wedding night. His sister in law really was fierce. Though Cheng Mo did not know the entire story, his guess was accurate. His brother had always had XIe Eun in his heart. He even laughed heartily as Cheng Mo described how a budding actress had tried to drug and seduce him but ended up being locked in a prison faculty. he also understood that his brother had worked really hard to reach where he was today. Yoo Shiro felt proud of having such an amazing brother..

But as the day progressed, he also realized two important things. Cheng Mo was closer to his own biological brother than he was. He felt envious but also glad. His brother had encountered good people along the way also. He had not been completely alone in this world.. 

Yoo Shiro wanted to cultivate the same closeness with his brother and
