Chapter 11. The Beginning of a New Journey

As the wind blew among the relaxing not too hot or cold weather, Tay and New sat in their office balcony, facing each other in the small table with coffees in hands, trying to solve their problems.

While the sunset was happening in the background, they looked at the sight of the beautiful scenery, mesmerized, trying to escape the reality and get lost in that gorgeous sight, hand in hand, together.

New took a deep breath, "beautiful, isn't it?" A smile was seen on his face, but different from his other smiles, it had a sense of relief in it but along with worry.

"I know, right? I wish we could just get lost in there," Tay replied with a genuine smile and a bit of worry in his eyes for New as he turned to look at New's dull smile, looking at the sunset.

For a while, they just sat there, enjoying the wind, sunset and the coffees all together with a strand of silence between them that already was somehow filled with love. Their feelings didn't have to be said with words, their eyes when they looked at each other said it all.

Once the sun sat, they went back inside the the darkness of the office. Tay got to his computer, checking the company's security system, as his eyes went on New back to his dull and lifeless face, going back to work.

He had only a day to finish his design, given a deadline by not his boss but his boss's boss. Yes, Tay's dad. Tay's dad came back to office, after witnessing that bad condition of his company. Even though it's not his company anymore, Tay couldn't go against his dad. He had always been respectful of his dad's decision but now, he's questioning that bad choice.

Consequently, New had been working non-stop. He'd stopped eating much, sleeping or even spending time with Tay, making Tay worried.

Tay knew that would never be a good idea as New wasn't someone who worked good under pressure, instead whenever he's being pressured, he messes up. He's someone who can finish his work in a small amount of time, but when he's chill.

Anyone would pity him if they saw him then. The dark circles under his eyes were very clear. Tay was getting more worried about him as he decided that he had to do something about it.

Tay went over and sat next to New, taking his hand in his own. "New, please eat something. I'm worried about you." But New didn't pay much attention.

"Yeah, I'll eat." He replied, his voice showing no interest. His eyes were still at his laptop and he didn't even look at who he was talking to.

Tay suddenly closed the computer on New's hand and turned his face to him, grabbing New by his head, "New, listen to me. I know you're stressed about this. But you need to eat and take rest. Otherwise, you'll get sick." Tay expressed his worry.

"What are you doing, Tay? I need to finish my work!" He opened his computer back and started working on his design again.

Tay stood up and slightly yelled, rubbing New's shoulder, "Damn it, New. I know you're a workaholic but this isn't it! Please eat something! Get some rest!" Tay's voice became a bit louder.

New stood up and shouted, "What do you want? You're disturbing my work!" He pushed Tay pretty hard.

"See? It's even effecting your behaviour. New, I'll talk to dad. Please, I can't see you like this." He replied, his voice pitiful and full of worry.

New took a deep breath, "I- I'm sorry. But Tay, confronting your dad is not gonna solve much. I still have to finish this as soon as I can. It's just... not fair." New replied slowly closing his laptop.

"I'll solve this, I promise. But don't become like this. You're making me worried. Let's go eat something." Tay said taking New's hand and dragging him out.

"Okay, fine." He replied with a sigh.

They went out to a dinner but New seemed lost in thought the whole time. He couldn't even eat his food properly as he was getting constant calls from the office. New got another call as he was looking at the glass window in front while stirring his food.

"Hello?"

"New? Where are you? Did you finish your work?"

"No, I- I'm actually here to eat something."

"You know you have a deadline tomorrow, right?"

"I know but..."

"You better hurry up or it's not gonna be good." The other side cut the call.

New put the phone down with a sad and worried face. "Tay, they're looking for me. I need to go back." He said with a worried face.

"No, you don't. Just put your phone on silent." Tay replied, squinting his eyebrows.

"New, I know you think it's your responsibility but trust me, it's not! I will solve this. You don't have to take the pressure on yourself."

"But how? How will you solve this, Tay? It's not something you can solve in the snap of the finger!"

"Don't worry, New. I have it planned and I'll not do this alone."

"What did you plan?"

"I've decided to file a lawsuit for corporate espionage."

"Are you serious? Can we even do that?" New's eyes lit up.

"Yes, we can. We have evidence, don't we? Our files."

"Right! Then yes, let's do this. Let's fight for justice." A smile finally formed on his face. Tay felt like he hasn't seen him smile in a while now.

Tay successfully lit up New's mood. "We'll get our design back."

After New's mood got better, he was able to eat just fine. Once they finished dinner, they went back to the office and planned their procedure.

Once they were done, their company was out of danger zone. They got their design back and were happy as "Easy" got sued for stealing another company's design and on top of that, for harassing the employees.

The people who harassed Manaow were put in jail and Manaow was working just fine after getting the justice. She had been treated properly and the company even got compensation for the damage that was caused by the design not being approved.

Tay had talked to his dad about New and hasd hired professional security workers to check the security of their company and make it stronger by adding more security measures as well as teaching the employees about cyber security. They also removed the HRs from getting the access of their work as it's not safe. As their company got more developed, it started gaining more recognition slowly and steadily and even worldwide.

To Be Continued.....

A/n: There's a lot of pressure over New but Tay is there beside him. What do you think about this chapter?
