Chapter 103 - KSS And Shot

After breakfast,Ah Hai dropped a kiss on Shi Ai's forehead and bid her goodbye with a stren order to,"Behave." Rolling her eyes at his,Shi Ai stuck out her tongue and teased him by making faces at him,causing him to chuckle before leaving.

Soon,Ah Hai's car reached the headquarters and this time thankfully there was no one in the compound. Ah Hai made his way in causing all the employees to actually scurry away with a scared expression. KSS Security mainly employed Policemen and Military personnel who had to leave their jobs due to the injuries or other personal reasons. So most of them were well honed in detecting killing intent. And even if they were not skilled enough,Ah Hai's black face would be telling. He marched up the stairs and everyone wondered if someone on a lower floor had done something wrong and the boss was so angry that they would not even wait for a lift. But they were wrong. Ah Hai actually climbed the fifty plus floors to his office in a matter of three minutes and strode in without breaking into a sweat. A slim woman in a simple black skirt and white shirt stood up at his entry and bowed. She was about to introduce herself but was ignored as though she was a piece of furniture.

Shot who was the only other person with his office on the same floor saw this and smiled at her reassuringly. 'Don't worry Miss Mo. He is always like this. You can introduce yourself later."

With that,Shot followed Ah Hai and stopped at the door to Ah Hai's inner sanctum. But he knew he would never hear an "enter" if he stood there so after the perfunctory knock,Shot opened the door and planned to walk inside. However,he had not even taken a step inside when a flying object came directly to hit him on the nose.. He ducked in time and the thing smashed into the door that had just closed. Thank the fates he had good reflexes of presently he would have been the one on the floor with pieces of his broken skull scattered around like these glass shards from the paper weight that once graced Ah Hai's desk. 

Angry,he looked at Ah Hai and said,"Knight!Are you trying to kill me? Have you forgotten I am your brother in arms?"

Knight looked up indifferently and said,"I remember.This is why I aimed at your head giving you a chance to duck. I would rather have aimed it lower so that you would not be able to make someone like you anymore.."

This caused Shit to almost cross his thigh lest,Knight attacke his family jewels.

Rushing to the chair opposite of Ah Hai, Shot questioned him,"What has you so angry in the morning?Did you have a fight with sister in law? Do you need to guide with ways to woo her? Though poor girl must be blind to have fallen for an ugly mug like you?" Now that he had eased into the topic,that Shot came for originally,he continued to ask,"By the way Knight,you are very ruthless. You have kept sister in law in hiding for so long and then you are not even telling us anything about her! Come on I need more information. And don't you dare play Tai Chi with me! I need information."

"What more do you need to know?I told everything yesterday. Oh..her hair color may not be pink anymore..!"

Shot,who was an avid gossip when he was not on a mission was tempted to bang his head against a wall. Just what sins had he committed in the past life to have a friend like this. "Are you telling me that your wife's hair is not pink any more. KNIGHT LONG! Is that information important? I want to see her and meet her and get to know her personality!I want to know why have I never heard of her before!"

Ah Hai had already returned to his work with his head down, looked up at this outburst and said,"No. And you have heard of her."

Shot frowned at this. He already understood that Ah Hai must have his own reasons for not bringing the person out but what did he mean that Ah Hai had told him about her before?

He looked scrutinizing at Ah Hai before accusing,"I have a very good memory. I would remenber for sure if you had ever spoken about a girl!You never have! I have even wondered if you are gay since you have never even looked at a girl let alone talk about her! Take the beautiful Miss Mo for example. You treated her like a piece of furniture!"

Ah Hai rubbed his forehead at Shot's nagging and said,"Shot!I can make you work overtime if you have nothing to do!And I clearly remember telling you many years back that I was engaged!"

Shot could feel his eyes widen! He remembered, once, Ah Hai telling him about a fiance who was a child. He looked up at Ah Hai in horror and said,"You married a kid!"

Ah Hai looked at Shot as if the man had lost his marbles and pointed out,"She was a kid then!She has grown up now,obviously." The faint sarcasm in Ah Hai's tone that he made no move to hide,incensed Shot and he accused,"Knight my friend,now I know why you never looked at another girl! You were in love with a kid! You cradle robber! That is what you are,even if you are a romantic one,waiting celibately for your loved one to grow up!" With that Shot started to say loudly in a sing song voice,"Knight is in love...Knight is in loooooooove!!"

The next moment,poor Shot found himself being lifted by the collar and thrown out of the inner sanctum unceremoniously. It was only then,before he could have the door closed against him,did Shot blurt out the real reason for his coming to Ah Hai. "The person you wanted to poach from SetStar Media is here! They say they will only talk with you so you better be prepared to see them! They are key to the new company's policy so we have to bow to them for now."

Ah Hai's eyes bored into Shot's so sharply that Shot was sure he would be dead on the spot if looks could kill. If not for his military training,Shot was very sure that he would not have been able to stand.

Turning back to his office, Ah Hai said, "They had already agreed before the announcement but now they want to play games..Fine!Since they want to play games we must accomodate them.Put them in conference room two and ask them to wait."

Relieved that Knight had agreed, Shot turned back to leave instructions when suddenly Ms Mo. brushed past him and caught hold of Ah Hai's sleeve. The man stopped and turned to glare at her. Seeing the wonan's guts,Shot was tempted to murder and himself.Every employee who worked for KSS knew never to touch the CEO. This was the very first rule they were thought!It seemed that Ms Mo was going to bacome an example...

Seeing the woman clutching at his sleeve,Ah Hai softened his tone and asked,"What is it?"

Though his tome had gone softer,the rection of the two people in the room couldn';t have been more different.Miss Mo assumed that he had been taken in by her beauty and thus spoke softly to her while Shot wanted to go and hide himself from the snake that was about to strike.

In a soft and sultry voice,Miss Mo said,"Sir!I am a new employee with KSS and just wanted to introduce myself..."

Looking down at the hand that was still clutching his sleeve,Ah Hai pushed her hand down with the tip of a dagger that had suddenly appeared in his hand. The girl had the biggest fright as suddenly a cold and pointed metal was pressed onto her wrist almost causing it to be pricked before she snatched her hand away. She clutched her wrist to her chest unable to breathe. Ah Hai wa satisfied and thus said,"If you are new then you should not have forgotten the first rule that this company has. I will let you be for now but next time your hand will be seperated from the rest of the arm. Shot! Since Miss Mo has a contract with us, let her work as the janitor here. I have already borrowed an assistang. He will be here soon."

Miss Mo was a qualified assistant and had been the top student in her university. Though getting a job at KSS was like a dream come true,she would not work as a janitor! And she would not even work for a madman who would cut off their employee's hands for such a small things. She looked down at her hands which were fine for now and said,"I resign!" and ran out of the office as if the hounds from hell were chasing her..
