CHAPTER 223

((( DEO )))

I went back to my own desk and busied myself taking to business people who hoped to talk to Zhio for the day.

"I'm sorry. Zel Cantheliz wouldn't accept that appointment."

Some wanted to be have appointments for the other days.

"I'll try and just contact you if this schedule is approved."

As I end calls, I felt the shame for turning down investors.

"You can't talk to Sir Zhio directly. One of his representatives will converse with you about that matter."

Directors were usually fed up with me when I couldn't squeeze in their schedule requests into Zhio's calendar.  

I couldn't count the threats I am receiving.

But who was I deserve that?  

I'm just one regular secretary who was doing his best to please everyone's whims at the expense of my patience against Zhio's.

"Deo, let's go." I heard Zhio call out.

Huh? That was one familiar phrase.

"But Sir," I hesitated a little, "the meeting I told you about is just little time away."  

"Yeah I know. But we have to buy some fruits again."

"Didn't we buy a lot yesterday?"

"We need to buy again. I still have to peel those."

Did he just say he'd peel fruit skins?

"But Sir, the media's out there again."

"Aren't you used to it already? Let's go."

There was nothing I could do but go with him.

I still have lots to do.

Like the last time, he took one grocery store's mall hours for himself.

And time ticked, we're back to the office again.  

Safe.  

"Sir. The meeting's beginning."

"I know," he pushed the basket to my grip, "Take this."

Huh? I'm taking the fruit basket to the conference room?

As the meeting went on, he sat down listening while peeling apples. Almost everyone were curious at his act.

But Zhio didn't care.

After two hours…

"I need to go…"

He sat up with a chinaware full of peeled apples.

It was exactly eleven o'clock.

Since Claire arrived in his life, he's been extremely bizarre. Most of the things we never dreamed he would do, he has done.

It was good actually.

Because his steel heart was beginning to soften for others.
