My Beloved

"I hope I'm not bothering you," the Junior Executive stated when she saw the new intern was copying diligently without giving her a single look. It made her a little offended since she always got attention no matter where she went.

John Lu replied without giving her a glance, "Not at all. It's my job to help you all."

The blonde woman's lips twitched. "Does that mean you won't help us if it's not your job?"

John Lu felt the pressure in her words and decided to take it as a joke. "Haha, you are funny, miss." He didn't want to make trouble on the first day.

The Junior Executive smirked before introducing herself, "By the way, my name is Bridgette. I'm a Junior Executive in this department. I'm in the Fashion and Clothing section."

"I'm John Lu. It's a pleasure to meet you." John Lu shook hands with her enthusiastically.

Bridgette saw that this guy was harmless and innocent. So, her mood lifted slightly. "Likewise," she stated. 'You don't notice me now but I will make sure you do, one day,' she promised in her heart.

"What's happening here? Chit-chatting?"

John Lu and Bridgette looked at the door and saw Roosevelt. Roosevelt briskly walked inside the room and asked, "How is our little rookie doing?"

"He is active. I heard none of our colleagues left empty handed after giving him works. His work is neat and organized. No mistake has been found. He is doing a better job than I expected," Bridgette evaluated John Lu's work.

"She is exaggerating," John Lu bashfully stated.

Roosevelt told him, "Keep it up. If you can work like this, I will give you better work to do. You want to learn more don't you?"

John Lu's eyes sparkled. "Yes, I want to learn more. I want to do better. That's why I wanted to join this company. I know I can learn here more."

Roosevelt was pleased. In the interview, John Lu said that he wanted to learn more and that's why he was chosen by the Department Manager.

"By the way, I think there is a problem with this idea," John Lu threw a remark.

Bridgette glanced at him. She saw him holding the file she had given. She asked curiously, "What sort of problem?"

John Lu explained, "It's about the models you are choosing. I mean, most certainly women will follow their favorite model's design but it would be better to show women with various body structures. Fashion is not only for women with zero figure but also for women of all sizes. On the runway, if you bring women with various body structures, I think it would catch more attention. It'll show that our clothes are not for only thin women but also fat women."

He added, "And, a person no matter what their body size is, they are pretty. We need to focus on the inner beauty."

Roosevelt and Bridgette exchanged glances before he asked her, "Is this your proposal?"

Bridgette nodded in reply, "Yes, it's mine. I'll present it in the meeting."

Roosevelt nodded in satisfaction. "Good, take John with you and give him your presentation's soft copy. John, you check the proposal and see what you can edit. Bring it in the meeting in three hours," he instructed.

"The meeting is after lunch. I can finish it. Thank you, boss! Thank you, Miss Bridgette." John Lu bowed at them.

"Take your time. Don't miss your lunch though," Roosevelt left.

"Miss Bridgette, here are all the copies you wanted." John Lu handed her the files.

Bridgette gave him a quick glance before saying, "Please put the files in the meeting room before the meeting."

"Ah but I have to prepare for the meeting too," John Lu innocently gazed at her.

"Your main job is to do whatever your seniors tell you to do. So, do it," Bridgette gave him a glare and then left.

John Lu sighed. "That's what I wanted to avoid. I don't want an enemy here. It's not even a month and I have someone who doesn't like me. Life is painful."

"Oh, someone is sighing right after joining the company. It's been two days and you grew tired, Mr. Intern?"

John Lu turned around and saw a man with a dashing face. John Lu's eyes blinded by the radiant light his face was giving off.

He was Arthur, Senior Executive in the Advertisement Section. He was an Italian man with dirty blonde hair and handsome features. He was known as the Prince Charming in the company. There wasn't a woman who wasn't in love with this guy. Every time there was a new female employee, he had to have his way with her. In other words, he was a playboy.

"Arthur, it was nothing like that," John Lu smiled at him brightly.

Arthur leaned against the door and commented, "I just saw Bridgette leaving the room in anger. Did you find any mistake and pointed it out?"

Seeing that there was no way to avoid this topic, John Lu spoke the truth, "I just voiced my opinion. I thought I was doing her good since her presentation was approaching."

Arthur told him, "Well, I can't blame you since you are a newbie. Bro, think about people's character first. She is someone who thinks with her heart, not head. Do you think she will be happy if you, an intern, try to help her by showing mistakes? Her pride will be shattered."

John Lu stated, "Oh yes, you are right. I even said that in front of the Department manager. He then told me to join the meeting."

'No wonder she didn't look well,' thinking that Arthur chuckled. "I think she is pissed," he commented.

"Ah, that's too bad. I think she is a good woman." John Lu seemed upset.

Arthur came forward and patted his back. "Don't worry, little intern. Since you are my fellow brother, I will help you.." His hand slid from his shoulder and then threw a remark, "I've never met a guy who is as slender as you."
