The first thing Selene said after we ordered out lunch was ;

Selene : Si Bei Song ah…..
We chatted over lunch and Selene was texting away in between mouthfuls of noodles.

I teased and asked if it was her bf but she said no.

James : Don’t break my heart Selene, you know how I feel towards you.



She laughed and kicked me with her heels.

I felt the rising fumes of jealousy bite into my heart and I fought to keep myself calm.





3.00pm

Selene entered Abdul office and did not leave till 5pm



She dropped me a mail saying that she requested for Romano and Rajah to help out on her team, as predicted, Abdul would not release the only 2 person that was actually capable of getting things done decently.

She went on to field the other 2, which was Christina and Cristobel, she wanted the 2 of them to take over my project and work with Cidney.



It would be convenient for the girls to travel together too.

Abdul agreed.



Selene called for a meeting at 6pm , and under Selene’s supervision, I off loaded a shit load of work onto Christina and Cristobel.

I kept stressing on the deadlines and how certain drawings needed to be out.
We went on without dinner and by 9pm, the 2 pinoys looked pretty shagged out.



9.15pm

I went for a nice dinner with Cidney and she took care of my well-being that evening.

Monday



Kakak Siti informed Abdul that after the current group had resigned, they do not meet the quota for the number of staff holding S-pass in the office.
People needed to go.

Abdul needed to make a decision.



There was some leeway and time of course and you could always ask for an extension.



11am

I went with a smoke with the 2 Pinoys again and started passing on the information. Fear had to spread, the people holding the S-pass needs to be worried.




12th November 2010

Friday

Auntie May went on a 4 days sick leave.




There was an unusual calm in the office, the news and excitement probably settled down.

2 people in Abdul’s team were very unhappy.



Romano and Rajah.

I heard more work was being passed onto them.



It was one week to the day Christina and Cristobel started working on my projects.

Everything became a mess.





From the most basic drawings to the coordination with the client’s rep. They fucked up so much within a week that Selene gave them a formal warning on Friday.

They looked stressed and I saw them going around their own team, asking for help.

I wanted to burst out laughing when I overheard them asking Romano how to draw a roof connection detail.

Romano asked Cristobel to fuck off rather audibly as he was busy with his own work.




3pm

Selene went into Abdul’s office and made a formal complaint that Christina and Cristobel had no idea what was going on.

She dropped me a mail with the contents of their discussions.

Their basic knowledge of architecture and technical skills were highly questionable.

She wanted them gone but Abdul defended them strongly, adding that they are good, just needed time to adjust.




4pm

Selene threw out an entire stack of drawings out of her office that was submitted for her approval.

Christina started picking them up alone.



4.05pm

I saw her head down with Cristobel for a smoke break and I caught up to them.

Christina was crying and I saw the opportunity to make my move.


I suspected what was going on for a very long time and I just needed an opportunity to use it. There was no way someone like Abdul would pay these 2 jokers that kind of money.


He just needed to get them into the office working for him.

It was a simple arrangement; he just needed to jack up their pay to a certain level to apply for the necessary work passes.

In turn they give Abdul a certain percentage of their pay, one of the oldest tricks in the book which a lot of companies are using.



I offered to light up their cigarette as Cristobel tried to calm Christina down.

I tried to sound sympathetic but dropped more hints to mind fuck them again. I apologise for handing over so much work to them,

I left 5 minutes later , leaving them on their own.


Office coup aside, I had other plans. I knew full well what my ultimate aim was.

It was to have Selene.


She had been testing a lot lately and I suspected she was seeing someone. I pretended to ask Cidney about it but she said she did not know.

I would have wanted her to find out but not in such an obvious manner.

If she was indeed seeing someone, that would really make my blood boil.

Here I was trying to save her company and she’s seeing another man behind my back.


It was not as if we were in a relationship, but I am a selfish man.

I just wanted her for myself.




6pm

Selene called Christina and Cristobel into her office.

I continued with my work together with Cidney.



At 7.30pm

The 2 pinoys came out and went straight to Abdul’s room.

I left office shortly after and spent a tiring night with Cidney, reacting out my sick fetishes, taking my pent up frustrations on her tight nubile body.




15th November 2010

Monday



With Auntie May still on leave, no one in the office got their pay.

Pay day was scheduled on the 14th every month, together with the last day of grace period for CPF submission for the previous work month.



Someone from CPF board called, the call was directed to Abdul.


16th November 2010

Tuesday


10.20am


Selene dropped me an sms , saying that Christina had tendered her resignation that morning because she threatened to fire her if she could not get the drawings fixed.

Abdul was seen entering Selene’s office and there was a heated discussion.
It was loud but I found out from Selene that Abdul had no choice but to let Christina go when Selene picked on her experience and capabilities.



She went on to tell me when she asked Abdul for Christina’s past works just to compare, Abdul kept quiet and left.
