Yang Yijun

*************

In a 106ft tall building in City Z,

Yang Yijun, an almost 6ft tall man with a well-built physique, broad shoulders, and muscular arms, wasn't all that huge like most bodybuilders, but his body was like that of a Greek god with all the packs in the right places. His black hair was perfectly styled in a playful yet neat way.

But Alas, he was as cold as the north pole yet as devilish and dangerous as he looked, his level of gorgeousness didn't lessen even a little bit. If anything, it made him look more handsome even calling him handsome would be an understatement. From his obsidian black eyes that spelled danger, perfectly shaped eyebrows, a nose that spelled perfection, and lips that were as sexy as it was a ticking time bomb, instead of words it spouted ice daggers that would hit its bullseye as soon as it was released to his 'oh so perfect' jawline, everything about him screamed perfection.

"Aaaah, the Big Boss is here"One of the female workers squealed lowly in excitement as she knew how much he hated loud noises. The last time he was around, two new female employees were sacked as they weren't able to control their excitement when they saw him. It was their first time seeing him and they didn't know who he was, so they thought he was a co-worker and they openly flirted with him. The shocking part was that none of them knew that they were gonna be kissing their jobs goodbye the next second as Yang Yijun walked past them without saying anything making them so furious that they yelled at him angrily but when he headed towards a certain elevator, entered its code and went into it, the shock was evident on both of the female employees.

Of course, they'd heard of him, the Big Boss, as no single day in the office passes without the female employees gossiping about him, even the middle-aged married women couldn't help but always join in their conversation as they praised him, and some of them even compared them to their sons. They've also heard about how ruthless he was and seeing him walk away like that without any response, they didn't know whether to feel relieved or terrified.

The two employees looked at each other as they didn't know what to do or how to react. In no less than 5 minutes, the two female employees were called into their department Manager's office and after 2 minutes, they were both out of the office with their boxes and puffy red eyes. It looked like they had cried during their time in the Manager's office. Everybody could only feel pity for them as they dare not speak about it so they could only give a blind eye and continue with their work.

It looked like they wanted to beg for forgiveness for whatever they had done but they had no way to do that as they weren't even allowed to go to their office desks.

After a while of looking pitiful to gain attention, they left the company premises.

Back to the present,

"You had better keep your voice low since it will harm no one if you become part of the unemployed population in the country " Director Su, the head of the marketing department said to her in a low but threatening voice as she followed Yang Yijun into his office. She was one of the closest and most trusted employees of the Big Boss, she was one of the very few people who understood him and right now, he was angry and she knew the reason. Therefore, it would not be a good idea to provoke him.

"Mr. Yang, why the sudden visit?"Director Su asked as she closed the door behind her.

"I was told that there was a mole issue, "Yang Yijun said calmly as he took off his suit jacket and sat down on his chair whilst rolling his sleeves.

"I haven't heard anything about it but if it were a mole problem then why didn't Li Yan handle it? He knows better than to bother you unnecessarily "Mrs Su said as she wondered if there was more to the issue as she placed some files on his desk.

"Does he?"Yang Jun said as he opened the files and looked at the reports of his gaming company's city Z branch.

"Why are you doing this to yourself?"Mrs. Su asked as her voice turned softer. She walked towards him taking note of his facial expressions. He looked lost and hopeless, detached from his feelings and everybody else's. He was always like this, on this day, in the last three years and she knew why he was this way.

When she left, everything changed not for the better but for worse, the first year after she left was terrible for him, he was depressed, and detached from everyone and they all thought he was going to sink into the pool of depression so they put him into therapy but instead of making him better, he seemed more lost after that he disappeared for six months and when he came back, he was this. He wasn't as depressed as he was before but everything about himself had changed, he was unpredictable and nobody could understand his actions.

"Because I deserve it …" he trailed off as a bitter smile formed on his face as he completed the rest of his statement in his head, ' Everything would have been better if I wasn't so weak'.

Yang Yijun shook his head trying to clear his mind," Mrs. Su, there'll be a meeting with all the board members in the next five minutes, you will be needed there".Yang Yijun said as he flipped open the pages of the reports in his hand.

"I guess I'll be taking my leave now" Mrs. Su sighed in defeat as she turned to leave. It was his way of telling her that he didn't want her around and she respected it, he needed his time.

After she left his office, he stood up from the chair, took his suit jacket, and walked towards the framed glass wall of his office. From there, the beautiful view of city Z could be seen, the same view that taunted him every time he looked at it.

Once upon a time, he loved just standing there and watching the view, together with her, and even when she wasn't near him, it reminded him of her, the woman whom he loved. But now, that very view mocked him. It only reminded him of her absence in his life.

"Ying'er,…Happy birthday"
