Coffeeholic's Hour

We were having dinner with MD on the second day of the trip. While pushing rice using chopsticks, he paused and asked, "So Shuying, how is your boyfriend?" 8 of us, including myself, were stopped pushing rice and looked into my direction, quietly waiting for a response. I sheepishly smiled and denied, "I'm single lah, Mr. Lim." He was like shocked to hear it. "What happened to your boyfriend?" I then again denied it. So BD manager looked bizarrely at MD, "Are you sure you have seen her boyfriend before?" Everyone started backing me up, "We all knew she is single since she joined the company." "Noooo... I have seen her boyfriend waiting and picking her up outside the hotel." Everyone stopped pushing rice again. OUTSIDE HOTEL?! I was friggin' innocent! "What car did he drive?" BD manager asked. "Tsk tsk. Look at you girls, only noticed what car a guy drives. I can't remember the car though." ...

I warn all my colleagues who are going to ride on Xiao Bai that I curse while driving. The first victim was my Director's PA. Right after the second I was done with explaining my rule, I cursed so hard before driving off the building. Shocked, but she followed all the way with bad attitude driver. Ha! Second victim would be my senior marketing comrade. "I heard about the warning but I'm not sure if that's gonna happen at my presence... *I cued in with harder cuss* okay, that just happened." *turn to PA, asked, 'how furious she could be' and PA just beamed her silly question away. The next time PA lady rides on, I sheepishly joke about how much I thought I were driving a Ferrari. She replied nonchalantly, "yeah but definitely not for the parking part."
