My Beloved

Arthur's hand slid from his shoulder. He couldn't help but comment, "I've never met a guy who is as slender as you."

John Lu swiftly moved away from him. "What do you think you are doing?" he asked vigilantly. "I didn't know that you prefer both but I'm not gay."

Arthur raised his hand as if he wanted to surrender. "I prefer women and I know their bodies well. Your body is surprisingly curvy, like women. Did you know that?" His eyes became sharper as he questioned.

"The body is mine. I know how it looks like. Your gaze is gay-ish. It's creeping me out," John Lu spoke in an alarming tone.

Arthur chuckled. "I don't have a bad intention. I'm just curious. Don't try to hide anything from me, okay?"

"If you have nothing else to do, go fool around somewhere else. I got a project proposal to take care of," John Lu took the files and carried them out of the copy room. He wondered, 'It's been two days and things are like this. What else is waiting for me?'

John Lu finished his work and took care of the meeting preparation himself. After the meeting was over, a red head beauty grabbed John Lu's arm. "Hello, I'm Diana, Senior Executive of the Fashion and Clothing section. You are the new intern, aren't you? Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too, Miss Diana," John Lu spoke in a friendly manner.

"Just Diana is fine." Diana's eyes brightened. She continued, "It's your first day meeting as an intern. You did a good job there. Your points were so accurate and to the point that the seniors couldn't ask you a question. Did you by chance work in another company before?"

John Lu replied, "Me? Not at all. The ideas just came to my mind. As a man, I find it unfair that women with other structures think that they are unattractive. They are fine the way they are. As long as they have the knowledge and good hearts, they don't have to worry about their appearance."

He further added, "If I ever go for a woman, I will see if her heart is true to me and she is knowledgeable enough to survive in this world."

Diana complimented him open-mindedly, "That's very wise of you, John. There are hardly men like you around us. They only go after the body. Asian men are still the best. They care about inner beauty. I wish I have a boyfriend who thinks like you."

John Lu's pale face flushed in response. He quickly added, "Not everyone is after inner beauty though. You just have to find the real guy for you. You are a lovely lady, Diana. I'm sure you will find a good man for yourself."

"That's very sweet of you," Diana charmingly said. She was touched by this newbie's words. There were hardly any people around them to have a warm conversation.

At that time, someone gasped. It was a girl. Without thinking, Diana and John Lu looked at the source of the sound. At that moment, John Lu's eyes locked with a pair of dark eyes. His heart skipped a beat.

The female employees began to whisper around them like bees.

"Oh my gosh! This is Managing Director!"

"He is so young and hot!"

"Isn't he still a student? He is so capable even though he is so young."

"He is young, handsome, and rich. Just my type."

"Did he just look at me? Oh my!"

"Not, I think he just looked at me."

"Look at his face and body. He is so juicy. He makes me wet."

John Lu frowned when he heard their words. He seemed offended for some reason. As he frowned deeply, someone put their hand on his shoulder.

"Mr. Intern, what are you thinking so deeply? Are you dazzled by our President's son? He got some looks but it's' nothing special though. If you need someone to look at why don't you look at me?" the person playfully suggested.

"Looking at you?" John Lu gave him an indescribable look. "My taste is higher than my status. I don't even feel anything after looking at you. Why should I waste my time on you?"

Diana chuckled from the sideline. "John, you nailed it. This is the first time someone is so harsh on him. He needed this lesson."

"What lesson?" Arthur raised an eyebrow. "John is a man. Whatever we have, it's bromance. Isn't that right, Mr. Intern?"

"No bromance with a playboy," John Lu mercilessly commented.

"Ah, you hurt my feelings," Arthur acted pitifully.

"I heard today is our Managing Director's birthday," Diana changed the topic.

"Who? Mo Yuan?" John Lu's eyes landed on the Managing Director who was talking to Roosevelt. Mo Yuan wasn't looking at him anymore.

Arthur ruffled John Lu's black hair and said, "Ah, calling him by his name. Aren't you brave, Mr. Intern? I hope he let us leave sooner because of his birthday."

John Lu couldn't understand what he meant. "It's his birthday. Why would he let you have a quick leave? You aren't even invited on his birthday."

Arthur's pride was hurt. He asked him back, "Who said I wasn't invited?"

John Lu remarked, "If the employees were invited, the news would have spread like wildfire."

Arthur leaned forward and commented, "You really scare me sometimes with your ability, Mr, intern. Are you sure you are not a detective?"

John Lu answered nonchalantly, "If I was, I wouldn't be stuck with you right now."

"You two seemed to get along well."

Upon hearing the comment, Diana, John Lu, and Arthur looked at the director of the speaker.

Bridgette walked closer and crossed her arms. She raised her right eyebrow and asked, "How come you two have a good relationship when you hardly meet each other?"

Arthur replied playfully, "It's destiny, my dear Bridgette."

"Destiny," Bridgette smirked. She glanced at the intern and asked, "Whether it's a topic or not, some employees might be invited on our Managing Director's birthday. John, you sounded so sure that no one from the company would be invited.. It seems like you know something that we don't."
