Can was woken up by his dog's wake up barks like usual.
"Aii Gucci, let me sleep!!" Can groaned pushing his fluffy dog away from him. Soon Gucci started licking his owner all over, Can gave up and dragged his lazy *** to the bathroom.
He got ready and went downstairs to have breakfast. He was jobless. Sometimes he felt like he was being a burden to his happy family. He was not so rich. Though he graduated, he couldn't find a job. He was still trying.
He pushed off the thoughts and sat down to munch his toast when her sister grabbed the toast from his hand and took a bite from it.
Beside her, his 5year old baby brother was hopping up and down.
"Arhh P'Can, don't tell me you forgot about Rin's talent test!" Ley snarled.
"Ai Ley, Of course, I remember!" Can rep'lied'. And of course, he didn't remember any of that shit.
He hogged down the toast and headed to his baby brother's playschool. It was pretty annoying how they'd always conduct all sorts of dramatic shit, but his 5year old brother likes it and unfortunately Can loves his brother too much to ignore his pleas to attend these activities.
By the time they reached, all the seats were filled and the talent contest already stared.
As they entered all the parents and children looked at the door. Can looked like a kid himself and beside him was his brother.
Rin ran towards the teacher as she guided him to sit beside her. Can looked at his brother helplessly.
"Traitor!" Can muttered glaring at his brother. He awkwardly looked around for an empty chair, he walked towards the only vacant chair.
There was an empty chair in between, he noticed the guy sitting at the beginning of the line. He was the only person who was around his age. He paused at the entrance of a row, expecting the guy to remove his legs so that he could walk in.
He didn't.
Can mumbled a small 'excuse me' which was unheard. Can was growing irritated as he looked up at the guy. The guy's outer appearance screamed rich. He was all suited with branded clothes and a scowl adorned his face. Overall he looked rich and arrogant.
Aishhh these sick rich nutheads! Can thought as he spoke louder this time "Excuse me, I need to get inside. Hope you can move your legs, it would be gross if I move them myself!"
The said guy looked up, unbothered and scoffed removing his legs. Can glared back at him and sat down in the chair. Can observed as the guy beside him pulled out a pair of headphones and popped them into his ears.
Can rolled his eyes.
Soon the performances continued and Can excitedly Shouted when his brother sang a song. The guy beside him kept scowling at him, which Can decided to deal with later cause his brother's performance was important for him.
The performances ended and Can started talking to the other parents. Yeah Can could get hella talkative and noisy sometimes. He glanced to the right to see if the annoying guy had already left, to his surprise he was right there holding onto a small kid around Rin's age. Soon after, Rin came running towards him, that's what he thought until...
Rin punched the kid, the annoying guy was holding. Can sighed, sure his brother got the punching habit from him. He quickly pulled Rin back from the kid.
"Rinn why did you do that to your friend??" Can scolded stopping the 5-year-old from punching him one more time. The boy who just got punched started crying eventually.
Rin replied "Jo is not my friend. He called me a bad boy and I'm not a bad boy!!" Can sighed at this.
Can bit down the last spoons of self-respect and apologized instead "Um I'm sorry for that! My brother gets out of control sometimes!"
The annoying guy huffed and turned towards Jo as he pulled out some sanitizer and cleaned him up.
"Ew Jo, I told you to stay away from this kind of filthy people. See you got yourself dirty"
Can was clearly taken back, he stood up abruptly "What a fucking bastard!! Did you just call us filthy?"
Yes. Can was a pro at swearing.
The guy stood up too, the smirk on his face grew wider as he spoke "Yes I did! Stupid midget with a foul mouth. That's what you are, filthy!"
Can had enough, the word 'filthy' definitely boiled the blood under his flesh. He really went that far and punched the guy on his face, wiping off the annoying smirk in the process.
The whole room fell silent as the guy glared at Can with wide eyes as he rubbed his jaw in pain. Can was fuming anger and glared back with equal intensity.
"Do you even know who I am? Where I belong?" Tin asked through gritted teeth.
Can huffed "Do I look like I care?"
Tin was about to reply when his phone started ringing. He took the call and suddenly his face turned pale.
Tin glared again at the short guy and tucked his phone inside his pocket before warning "You're gonna repay for this!"
Can replied recklessly "Let's see!"
With that, the annoying guy rushed outside with Jo.
Can sighed still feeling annoyed and irritated. All the way back to his house he kept whining and blaming his poor brother for everything.
Ahrr what an intolerant asshole, stupid Jerk. Wtf is he to call me filthy. Rich asshat. Can thought as he accidentally ate Gucci's dog food. He cursed himself again and groaned "I Hatteee youuu"
Can walked around nervously in front of the largest gaming companies in Thailand. It was his last interview this month. He really wanted this one. He dressed up well unlike his weird clothing sense which included half pants and Tees mostly, he didn't want to look like a 10th-grade kid with a babyface, that's what he was called in his last interview.
He was mentally prepared to behave and not to talk too much like what he did in his past interviews. He sighed for one last time before entering the building.
Can blinked in surprise when his eyes caught the interior of the building. For a second he thought he entered into a luxurious hotel. Judging from how neat and slick the place was, to the point that the floor sparkled, Can was afraid he'd dirty the floor with his muddy shoes.
He was right on time and was told to wait outside. Apparently, he wasn't the only one, there were 20 more people. They looked a lot more mature and educated. Can sighed as disappointment filled him. He surely was kid among all the giants.
Come on Can, you're cute! Who'd reject a face like this? Can encouraged himself and sat down.
He waited and waited, but his turn never came. The morning turned into the afternoon and it was evening now. One by one everyone left. If it wasn't for the job, he'd just walk inside and curse the damn guy for making him wait all day. Everyone left, he was the last person sitting there.
Soon he was called by an assistant, that he could go in for his interview. He buried down the nervousness and fear as he stepped inside confidently.
The interview was nothing scary like he actually thought it would be. A middle-aged man interviewed him. Apparently, the man was suffering from Cancer and had passed on his company to his young Son who was immature and extravagant. The man wanted to interview personally and hire a responsible secretary to put up with his Son's attitude.
The interview went really well and it was quite long. Can tried to be confident and answered every question smartly. He patiently replied to all of the questions he was asked and walked out with satisfaction.
******
A week later~
"Cann!" Can heard his mom calling for him. He just decided to ignore, he was too lazy to get his *** downstairs and run errands for his mum.
"Cantaloupe!!"
This time he sat up straight and groaned in frustration "Maaa don't call me that!"
He heard his mom laugh "Why not? I love your name.. Btw, you got a letter from some company. Come check this out-"
Can stood up swiftly and ran downstairs hitting against a wall in the process.
Can's mum sighed "Oh God, why is my child so messy?"
He grabbed the letter from his mother and ripped it open, his heart beating wildly. His eyes widened to the size of saucers as a bright smile spread across his face.
He jumped onto his mother for a tight embrace and kept murmuring alien shit when his mom pulled him away.
"Can, why so happy? Did you win a lottery or something?" His mom asked.
Can smiled brightly "Indeed a lottery mama, I got hired as a secretary for the biggest gaming company in Thailand,!"
Ley and Rin heard their conversation and literally jumped onto Can. That night the family partied all night and Can's Mum literally spread the news to the whole neighbourhood.
❇〰〰〰❇
Can dressed up and rushed to the first day of his work. It would be awful if he'd be late on his first day. His mom dropped him off, he needn't had to take the public transport today. He hurriedly entered the building, showing his identity card to the guard on the way.
He took the elevator and pressed the 9th-floor button. He got out and stumbled right into someone, dropping all the files onto the ground. He looked up hastily and mumbled " I'm so so sorry, I was-"
"It's okay! Be careful young man!" The guy stated, helping Can in picking up his stuff.
"Thank you!" Can replied.
"I'm Techno btw, you can call me P'no!" The guy greeted. He looked Tall, tan and had messy brown locks. He was handsome.
"I'm Can. Nice to meet you-"
"Are you new here?"
"Well, yeah. My first day at work and I'm kinda late. Can I know where the boss's office is? I'm in a hurry." Can speed talked.
Techno blinked for a second and after he registered what the boy had spoken, he chuckled "Go straight and take the second left. Boss is quite intimidating, be careful. Try not to get fired okay?"
"Thank you P'No, see you around!" Can replied, literally shouted and sprinted off in the opposite direction. Is he that scary?
Can finally stopped in front of his boss's room knocked on the door and read the board hanging on the door.
'Don't knock unless I summon.'
Can scoffed at that. Too late I already knocked.
He waited there for like square 5minutes. The door didn't open. Was he supposed to knock again? What if he's a scary lunatic and actually fires him for knocking on his damn door?
He was growing impatient and tapped his feet on the ground.
Then he noticed, that the door was slightly open. He thought for a quick minute before opening the door slowly and stepping in. The room was awfully quiet and huge and plain and rich and clean and-
Can flinched when he noticed there was someone sitting on the huge chair but it was turned the other way around. So he is the boss guy?! Huh.
Can opened his mouth "um..Hello- Good morning Sir, I'm Your new- I mean I'm your secretary!"
He noticed as his boss pressed a button on the chair and it started turning towards him. He carefully looked up at him. That's when he recognized, his boss looked freakishly familiar.
His jaw dropped and his eyes turned wide. His grip loosened as the files he was holding dropped to the ground. He froze.
Holy mother of cantaloupes!!
This shit ain't real. This guy can't be my boss-
.Can blinked
Once.
Twice.
A small smirk started to form on Tin's face. Tin stood up and walked towards Can.
"So, you are my Secretary. That means..." Tin paused to look at Can's face which had an annoyed frown. He continued "You are going to work under me!"
Can scoffed, he didn't know what to say. He tried so hard to get a job, and when he finally did, life had to do this to him. Life is' a b*tch. Before Can could react to this in any way Tin leaned back on the desk "But you know what, um..." Tin eyed his body up and down and noticed the name on his Id.
He spoke "..Can. too bad, I don't need an assistant. The best I can do for you is....Fire you." The victorious smile playing on that dude urged Can to punch him right across his face and wipe the damn smirk off him.
did he just call me an assistant.
What. The.... ,
'Woah, I'm gonna get fired on my first day of work. How lucky. And there my mom literally spread the news bout' my job to half the town-
While Can was having an important discussion with his inner self, he heard a clicking sound of the door wavering him out of his thoughts.
" Hmm So the secretary is here already?" A voice echoed in the empty room, Can looked around and noticed a familiar-looking guy standing at the entrance of the huge wooden door.
Wasn't he the guy who interviewed me? So he must be my boss's father..
Can thought as politely greeted the person.
Tin almost looked pissed at his father's presence.
The man spoke"Tin, he will be your secretary. I appointed him and he is perfect for you-"
"Dad, we already had this conversation. I don't need anyone to look after me. I can take care of everything myself." Tin cut him off.
His dad sighed "Tin.., this is not a choice, you've already caused a disturbance in our administration, and I know its quite stressful for you. That's the reason, I hired him as your secretary. He'd help you out."
"But Dad-"/
" Tin, I'm going to die in a few years or maybe even months. At least when I'm alive, I expect you to respect my decision."
With that Tin's father exited the room. Tin looked speechless and the expression on his face was hard to decipher.
'Does that mean, I'm not fired? Oolala...' Can was internally celebrating. It was his turn to smirk at the guy who was now standing there with a frown.
Can walked closer to his boss with a smug smile playing on his face. Come on, Can was not going to stop himself from at least disrespecting his boss, after all, he called him filthy. And what was the other thing he said? The best I can do for you is fire you.... Tsk tsk
"So..you are my boss. Just to make it clear, I would never work under you." Can said repeating Tin's words sarcastically. He looked up at his boss from top to bottom and then finally at the name tag.
"Umm...Tin, the best I can do for you is, work together with you. I guess you heard what your father said-"
Tin looked up and glared intimidatingly at Can, which worked magically . Can immediately regretted saying all that shit, now that he's suffering from Tin's burning gaze directed towards him. Can gulped and looked up to meet Tin's eyes. That's when he realized, Tin was a good looking man. He was tall and it made him realize how much of a mosquito he was in front him..
Can stuttered "err...I'd like to have a tour of the- ..the..um
Office. And perhaps, Meet my new colleagues...-"
On that note, Can spun around and started to walk. Tin was not going to let him slip away. not yet. He felt a hand wrapped around his wrist firmly, he was made to turn around only to bump into Tin's hard chest.
Can wanted to die.
He immediately backed off and he looked a little flustered, Tin looked like he was suppressing a laughter but soon his lips curved into an intimidating smirk.
"Ae' Can, you should learn to shut up, now that you're my assistant. Serve me."
Can shot him a death glare, which in fact looked comical with his baby face. "I'm not your fu*king servent, I'm your s-e-c-r-e-t-a-r-y. Got that?"
"And I'm not your fu*king neighbour, I'm your boss. Learn to respect me." Tin warned. Can returned a boring expression.
"If it wasn't for my father, I would've fired you right away!" Tin spoke steely.
"If it wasn't for the money, I would've resigned the job the minute I saw you're face" Can snapped gaining a glare from his boss. He wasn't any less, he stepped forward and glared back with equal hatred. It was like a battle ground. They both glared at each other.
A sudden female broke the silence
"Sir, Your father handed me your schedule and wanted your Secretary-"
Can and Tin jumped apart from each other. Can was flustered about the close proximity they were in earlier.
