I&T: Chapter 5

Chapter 5

It has been about 2 weeks since Ing has gotten acquainted with Tsan and about 1 week since Tsan’s incident in the lift with Invictus. Both Ing and Tsan has apparently cleared up much of the pile up work from their individual departments. Both were then posted to the “Creatives” department since they have a shortage of manpower. The “Creatives” department is the core of the company and they are involved in coming out with advertisements for their clients. It was no incident that Ing was posted there as the Director believed that it will be a very good experience for him- especially when Ing will be taking over his position when he retires.

After a meeting with their supervisors, Ing and Tsan were paired up to brainstorm for some ideas for a new advertisement. Both were deep in thought with Ing pinching his nose and Tsan pressing a pencil to her lips. Suddenly, Ing’s phone began to vibrate on the table and Tsan with a shorter attention span diverted her gaze to his phone. She looked up at Ing, expecting him to check his phone but apparently, he was too deep in thought to bother.

Tsan: Hey! You’ve got a message!

Ing, busy scribbling something on his note pad replied “Please read it.”

Tsan biting her lower lip excitedly picked up his phone and started reading out loud. “I’m Back!… Yeah that’s it. Just like that.”

Ing: Alright.

Invictus’ lawyer was out to court and Invictus was busy drafting a legal document for him. It was amazing how his fingers darted across the key board. His phone gave a short ring and stopped, indicating that he received a message.

“Damn! Not at this time! It better not be anything important.” Invictus said through gritted teeth. Afraid that it would be his lawyer passing down some important instructions to him, he quickly finished his sentence and checked his message.

It read: “I’m Back!”

“Grr… nice timing!” Invictus complained and went back to his document.

Joette is Ing’s adopted sister. She is only 16 going on to 17 within the year. Her haired was dyed blond and so were her eye brows. Her eyes were always of different colours or even patterns as she found it extremely entertaining to use special contact lenses just to hold people’s gazes. She was clearly aware that she is an adopted child but after spending more than 5 years with the Yue family, she has blended in comfortably. Yue was a doting father who pampers her while his wife was slightly distant but never mean. She is a cheerful and outspoken girl no doubt but she has always had a strong character. Perhaps the pampering she received from Yue made her more willful as she grew up.

Joette made a big fuss when Ing was sent to an overseas college. Yue finally gave in when Joette said she would not eat in protest. In the end, Joette was sent overseas along with Ing. It seems that Joette has always been specially nice towards Ing but this also applies to Ing’s closest buddy.

She took a flight immediately after her last examination paper when she learnt that Ing has already gone back home since his summer holidays starts earlier. She had immediately sent two messages when she got down the plane- one to Ing and one to Ing’s closest buddy.

--------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: Yes! In case you don’t know by now, Ing and Invictus are very close friends. What’s going to happen next? Will Invictus get to see Tsan again? Now Tsan is Ing’s working partner. What will it turn out to be like? Will they become more than just friends? The woman in the sports car is still left uncovered... who is she?
