Meanwhile, everyone at the Harper Group's company forum is buzzing about the CEO's sexual orientation.
There were pictures and video evidence! The CEO was seen snatching a young man from the arms of a foreign woman downstairs in the company.
He aggressively declared "He's mine!" which became the most popular confession in the company. The female employees should be thrilled that this national treasure of a heartthrob isn't swayed by some foreign women. But their faces aren't exactly brimming with smiles.
"In this modern time, can't heterosexuals fall in love?" "All the good men are turning gay. I'm drop-dead gorgeous and yet, still no decent boyfriend!"
"Poor thing, I should drop some snacks off for Nate to cheer him up…"
Soon, the grapevine took a different turn. Nate's phone had taken a plunge into the lake during an inspection and was now kaput. So he took this downtime to rush out and get a new one.
Upon returning to the company, everyone was giving him looks of sympathy and resignation.
Every now and then, someone would stuff him with snacks and offer words of comfort.
Like, cheer up, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Don't be sad, it's not about the destination, it's about the journey...
He was left baffled by all the consolation and returned to his office to find his desk piled high with snacks.
"What's happening here?"
He looked bewildered at his office mate, who at that moment was adding another pack of snacks to his "consolation gifts".
