Chapter 892 Work Together

In An Tian's home.

After breakfast, Noah sat in the living room, going through a few files and Jake sat watching the TV.

"What's this?" Jake asked.

"The homework before joining my new job," Noah replied casually.

Jake picked up one file and went through it. "It seems like a project and looks promising.

"Hmm, I have to study it before I start my work in a few days," Noah informed.

An Tian was ready to go to his work as he saw these two in the living room.

"Jake, if you both get bored, you can come to my office," An Tian offered.

"Yeah, we forget we have one top fashion industrialist with us now," Jake commented.

"Shut up, Jake," Noah interrupted him and looked at An Tian, who was not affected by his younger brother's comment, "I will be there once I finish it. I want to see how brother Tian works."

"Make sure to come alone," An Tian spoke as he gave a teasing look to Jake because he knew, If Noah comes, then Jake will follow for sure.

"He is not going anywhere. We two are going out," Jake declared, and Noah glared at him.

"See you guys," An Tian left, not willing to witness the useless argument between the two.

"I am not going anywhere with you." Saying, Noah resumed his work.

Frowning, Jake took away the file from Noah and slammed it on the table.

Noah exclaimed, "Jake, what the….."

Before Noah could finish his words, Jake held his collar tightly and pulled Noah towards him, leaving just an inch distance between them.

"You dare to say no," Jake warned, as he stared into Noah's eyes, his sight colder that Noah was not used to seeing him like this.

"What's with you, man? Why…."

"Don't let me tell you why or you will regret it," Jake warned, his cold gaze fixed in Noah.

"Oh-Okay. Let me go now," Noah gulped, seeing his friends sudden changed behavior but had nothing to say.

Jake let go of Noah's collar. For a moment, he was tempted to kiss the guy but let go of this thought as he didn't wish to affect their friendship.

"You are acting strange, Jake," Noah commented.

Not answering him, Jake got up from the sofa, went to the refrigerator, and pulled out a chilled water bottle. While drinking, his eyes fixated on Noah, who was busy working. He felt like he might go crazy soon if he stayed with him alone for long.

"Let's go to my brother's office," Jake offered as he finished drinking the water.

Still busy with work and not aware of what was happening with his friend, Noah replied, "I'm almost done with it; give me some time."

'Idiot, make it fast, or you might be in trouble,' thought Jake as he went out of the home to get fresh air in the garden, feeling scared of himself.

In Jiang Yuyan's office.

Lu Lijun finished what he was working on and got up from Jiang Yuyan's chair towards the sofa where Jiang Yuyan sat, but she ignored him.

Putting the files on the center table in front of her, he informed, "There is some useful data that might be useful."

Jiang Yuyan picked up the file that Lu Lijun put there and went through it.

"We have it already."

"I guess there is no need of any assistant," Lu Lijun answered and stepped towards the door.

Lu Lijun never agreed to assist her, so Jiang Yuyan didn't wish to bug him again. So when she entered her office and saw him working, she ignored him and continued her work.

"Assisting someone means working together and not just doing only what one feels right. It saves time and improves the efficiency," Jiang Yuyan commented.

"When one person just looks into the first page of the file and assumes they have it already, ignoring what might come on the next page, it's a waste of time anyway," Lu Lijun countered, not turning to look at her.

Jiang Yuyan turned the last page and realized the data she had asked someone to get, Lu Lijun had got it already.

Just then, someone knocked on the door and entered the office as he saw the fourth young master ready to go out, so he bowed to him but heard his lady boss, "Give those files to Lu Lijun."

It shocked Lu Lijun, and he wanted to say he didn't agree to it, but before that, Jiang Yuyan spoke, "Have a look."

'Always makes me do what she wants, but it's the last time,' Lu Lijun thought and accepted the files from the man.

The man left, and Lu Lijun sat on the couch opposite Jiang Yuyan and opened the files. In that, there was data he just searched and made some plans.

"Let's see if working together brings out the efficiency of it is a waste of time," Jiang Yuyan commented, and she passed two more files to him.

Lu Lijun picked them up and went through it. Both continued working as they talked in between only what was needed.

Sometimes Lu Lijun's sight would wander around to look at her to see how she looked when she was busy working, ignoring what was around her.

She didn't look like before when she smiled just for his sake even if she was in pain, but she looked aloof.

Lu Lijun could' t deny that this side of her was something attractive too but shook his head with what just he thought.

'What am I doing?' he thought and cursed himself.

The time passed by till lunch, and Yun Fan entered the office.

"President Lu, it's lunchtime and…."

"Not now," Jiang Yuyan instructed.

Knowing how his boss is, Yun Fan didn't insist and looked at Lu Lijun, who was busy working too.

"Fourth young master….."

"I am not hungry," he interrupted.

"I will be back later," Yun Fan left, intending to be back after some time.
