With Feelings of Jealousy

Upon entering the meeting room, Jayden sat down and tried to focus on the meeting agenda. However, several female employees tried to sit around Jayden in hopes of catching his attention. Jayden remained composed and only provided instructions or necessary responses during the meeting. After the meeting, Jayden walked to his office hoping to work peacefully. However, upon entering his room, there was a note attached to the glass door that read 'Mr. Jayden, I need your signature.' Jayden quickly glanced at the pink paper with a heart pattern and promptly signed the document without much comment. This recurring scene became a routine in the office, and Jayden continued to maintain his cold and indifferent demeanor, choosing to focus on his work. "They are really lacking affection," Jayden muttered. *** A soft knock was heard on Jayden's office door, and then the door opened slowly. A beautiful and attractive female employee entered with a stack of files in her hands. She smiled sweetly as she walked towards Jayden's desk. Confidently, the woman greeted, "Good afternoon, Mr. Jayden. I have the latest files for you." Jayden only nodded briefly without lifting his gaze from the files he was working on. The woman tried to capture his attention with her sweet smile, but Jayden remained focused on his work. "So, Mr. Jayden. Um... I'm quite curious, what is your favorite activity outside of work?" she asked cheerfully, trying to create a more personal conversation. However, Jayden remained serious and only replied, "I focus on work. That's the only activity I prioritize." The beautiful woman felt disappointed that her efforts to engage in a personal conversation went unanswered. After placing the files on Jayden's desk, she left the room feeling upset. Outside the room, she vowed internally, "He is indeed difficult to approach. But I won't give up. I will try again and again. There must be a way to make him interested in me." With a burning determination, she prepared to face the same daily routine, hoping to capture Jayden's attention someday. She then attempted to invite Jayden for lunch, creating a more relaxed and informal moment. "Mr. Jayden, how about having lunch together today? Perhaps it could be a pleasant time to chat and discuss our current project." Jayden looked at her momentarily and then coldly rejected the invitation. "I prefer to have lunch alone. And I don't need a lunch companion." The woman was surprised by Jayden's firm response. "Why is that, Mr. Jayden? Having lunch together could be an opportunity to get to know each other better." Jayden replied nonchalantly, "I don't need to get to know anyone in the office better. I just need to focus on work." The woman felt offended but tried to hide her disappointment with a sweet smile. "Alright then. Maybe some other time, Mr. Jayden." She left Jayden to have lunch by himself. Jayden then sighed in frustration, finally beginning to plan something to divert the attention of the female employees who always sought his attention. Then, an idea came to involve Agatha in his plan. He believed Agatha could help create a more professional atmosphere focused on work. "Agatha might be able to help redirect their attention," Jayden thought. With that, Jayden planned to ask for Agatha's assistance in creating a training program or project involving all employees, so everyone could focus on their respective tasks. In the evening, at the apartment, Jayden decided to persuade Agatha and share his idea, believing that this plan would help create a more productive and professional work environment. At the same time, it would keep him away from those attention-seeking women. "Agatha, how about starting to work at my office?" Agatha, sitting on the adjacent sofa, turned surprised. "Oh, really? But I haven't graduated from college and don't have experience, can I?" Jayden smiled slightly. "It's not a problem. I'm sure you have tremendous potential. I need your help to create a work environment that is more focused on work." Agatha hesitated. "But, I'm still a student and—" "I know you may have doubts, but I believe we can create something extraordinary together. You have the skills I need, Agatha." Agatha paused for a moment. "Wait, but why did you choose me?" Jayden smiled mysteriously, with Agatha unaware of the meaning behind that smile. "We will find the answer together later, Agatha. I believe you can help change the dynamics in the office." Agatha remained silent for a while, then finally agreed and nodded. "Alright. I will do my best." Jayden's eyes instantly sparkled with joy. "That's great, Agatha. Since you have evening classes tomorrow, we can start in the morning. I'm sure this will be an exciting experience for both of us." Indeed, after much contemplation, Agatha was convinced that her decision to accept Jayden's invitation was the best. Furthermore, this was also a form of work internship before becoming a permanent employee after her graduation. On the other hand, Agatha's heart started beating with excitement as her dream was about to come true. *** As time passed, Jayden decided to implement his plan. That morning, amidst the bustling office, Jayden confidently entered Agatha's work area. Employees who previously sought Jayden's attention were now surprised to see Agatha following his steps. "Good morning, everyone!" greeted Jayden with a faint smile, inhaling the now noisy and curious-filled air. Agatha smiled in return, realizing that her presence in the office would become a topic of conversation. Employees who previously tried to seek Jayden's attention were now puzzled. They began to pay attention to Agatha with curious looks. The female employee who always welcomed Jayden with her smile was surprised to see Agatha standing next to her boss. Of course, Jayden did not let this opportunity pass by. He purposely invited Agatha to tour the office, giving employees the chance to witness the interaction between them. As if showing that there was someone else who got Jayden's attention besides them. Agatha, although feeling slightly spotlighted, remained professional. She greeted the employees warmly and laughed at Jayden's jokes. The previously awkward office atmosphere began to feel more lively, although some were still trying to figure out the relationship between Jayden and Agatha. As they walked along the office corridors, Jayden noticed Agatha's efforts to maintain professionalism. With a light smile, Jayden decided to give a small amount of attention deliberately directed at Agatha. "Would you help me with something, Agatha?" Jayden asked, noting the competitive reactions from employees. Agatha smiled gently, nodding. "Of course, Mr. Jayden. I'm happy to help you." Cleverly, Jayden assigned her small responsibilities, like bringing a cup of coffee or completing minor tasks that were not too important. Agatha accepted the tasks graciously, and employees observing her began to notice the changes in the office. The female employee who had always tried to seek Jayden's attention was becoming more uncomfortable. She watched Jayden with jealousy as her boss paid attention to Agatha. The power dynamics among the employees seeking Jayden's attention started shifting. Jayden suppressed a laugh in his heart as he saw their expressions. "Feel this, attention-seeking woman."
