“I think there is some chaos going on,” Delinda said sitting beside Shang–chi who was doing nothing but playing a silly game on his phone.
“And why are you playing game in your office timings?” Without warning Delinda snatched his phone.
“Hey!”
“What hey! Listen to me!” She scolded him and then gave him a stern look, “This chaos can’t be taken lightly, Shang.”
Shang–chi nodded with a somber expression on his face and then quickly grabbed back his phone without giving Delinda any chance. to even blink, “Whatever is that chaos, it has nothing to do with my game. Now shoo away and let me play.”
Delinda again tried to get her hands on his phone but this time he was ready and quickly dodged her.
“Shang. Kate is creating this chaos. We need to be alert,” this time Shang did place his phone down on his desk and leaned towards her, “I think I know. I stayed at her desk a little to help her with the menu selection. She was getting irritated about Marissa’s late
arrival.”
They both were so busy in that secret conversation that they didn’t realize someone was standing close to their desk.
“Hey, you two buddies! Have you seen Ms. Marissa Aaron? I need help,” he was another entrepreneur who was hired a little while
back.

“You can tell us, if you feel comfortable,” Delinda quickly offered her services, but the man pinned them with a sharp look as if they both were fools.
“She is our head and I need her approval in a few things,” he stated, “and I’m sure you are not authorized to do that. Now tell me where
she is.”
Delinda looked up at the rude man who was middle–aged just like her but had the attitude of a young man in his twenties.
Shang–chi was about to tell him something when Delinda squeezed his hand secretly and gave a sweet smile to the man, “Mister. We don’t know where Marissa is. We are not your servants, nor we are Mum and Dad of Marissa. So go and look for her yourself.”
The last part was said with a deadly tone, and she turned back to Shang–chi without giving a damn what this man might think about
her.
She was just offering him, her help and he was being rude for no
reason.
The man scratched his head and this time there was a little amusement on his face, “Can you at least tell me if the columns of my report are according to their demands?”
He said placing his file on the desk.
Delinda leaned in slightly to observe the page closely while the new employee’s eyes were observing her.
After taking her sweet time, she straightened and then glanced up, “Sorry. I can’t tell anything about the columns of this report,” she

shook her head with a pout.
He wasn’t expecting it and seemed a little taken aback. Not after she wasted his time while looking at his report.
“Why?”
Delinda’s eves crinkled at the corners as she examined him.
“Because, mister. We are not authorized to do that.”
She batted her eyes quite dramatically and turned to Shang–chi ignoring the rude man again.
So, what were we talking about. Shang? Ah yes. That coffee place is amazing. I’ll definitely try that, she said with a smile.
The rude man was still standing there but Delinda was treating him like he was invisible. Poor Shang–chi was feeling like a cute puppy whose only job was to dart his innocent eyes between the two. His gaze landed on Delinda, who was waiting for his answer. Poor Shang hadn’t even heard what she just said.
“W–What?”
Delinda felt a little irritated when Shang–chi asked her. The rude man wasn’t moving away and she wanted Shang–chi to play along.
“The coffee place! Remember? The same place we were talking about, silly.” Shang–chi didn’t know why Delinda was moving her eyebrows.
“B…but weren’t we talking about Kate?” he asked her, unsure why she closed her eyes and her expression turned murderous.
The man who was standing there looking at two of them suddenly laughed and walked away.

“Shang–chi! I wish it was not a crime to murder someone,” Annoyance was evident in her voice.
“You came here to tell me about Marissa and then you switched to
a good coffee place,” he pushed back his chair and stood up, “You know what that did to me? It made me yearn for a good coffee cup. Now get up!”
He held her arm and started pulling her up.
“I’m not going anywhere. There is so much work to do,” Shang–chi placed his hand on his hip when she started making lame excuses.
“We both know, Del that we don’t have ANY work to do. So, move your lazy ass from that chair and accompany me. Moreover, weren’t you telling me something about Marissa?” his eyes twinkled with mischief.
“Oh. Yes. Speaking of Marissa…” she couldn’t finish it when he started shaking his head.
“Get up and tell everything about Marissa in that coffee shop. Now
hurry up!”

When they returned from the coffee shop, they were more worried about her friend.
“I did drop her a message about Kate but didn’t get any reply. Usually, she doesn’t take time to respond to my calls or texts.”
