Yup, I was messaging Mariah about what my covering partner thought about Dennis. She came back from maternity last March and only met him much later than us but only for that one week she was doing coverage. But she didn't think of him like some God-sent gift unlike the rest of us..hehe...and she was more surprised why our older colleagues are so into him as if thinking, what the heck is so handsome about him? I mean..in a way..yes she thought he is good looking but just average lah..not hormone inducing enough. FINALLY! Someone who doesnt worship him. Ey, I dont either okay although I did think he's good looking but not so crazy like calling him every now and then asking about some street directions, which door to go into when out to schools for field visits or to bring to the nearest food centre..and then asking him a lot of personal questions about his life. Come to think of it, I never asked him in that line either including his age, where he lived, studied..blah de blah blah....but still dunno why he got closer to me than the rest recently until not a day passed if we see each other when he comes to collect or deliver things that he will make at least one teasing remark. Even if we dont also coz Im well...usually not that early either....he will message me and demand to know why im late. What the hell...
So AS per usual, when he called and asked to confirm the items to bring over..I sounded serious which he did pause for a bit after that. I guess he paused coz the way I spoke he figured that the floater was still around. I thought in that line coz when he came, it was rather quick and swift like he was being his usual shy self with strangers but still got time to take a swipe at me. ALamak!
I only remembered to get the things from him but forgot about the envelope of referral letters that I had prepared for him to deliver. He said no referrals for me? Oh yah! I suddenly remembered and gave that to him but as I was passing that over to him, he had the cheek to say 'you see me you forget everything is it?' Again, my thoughts were like 'perasan!' There goes his 'im so handsome' self praising ego again. Unfortunately, THAT colleague of mine heard and she asked me later during lunch is he always like that. Die ah he..he just got himself an anti-dennis fan.
I just told her that narh, he's usually pretty reserved like he respects our colleagues since they are older than him and he is modest even when people are praising him. You know he can be so nervous that even a kid actually resting her head on her table in a dreamy look at him as he was sitting down there chatting with me while I was packing some things got him nervous. The whole group of class was there waiting to be dismissed but that girl went over and kneeled at the table and did that to him. Even the err..teacher was rather distracted and when he asked if they needed the room, she was like..oh no...go ahead...we can use the room (heh..wonder why she said that..hahaha!!), he still asked if we can go out of the school and wait at the van for my partner who was away at the office doing settling some admin stuff with the school staff. I was thinking..what we? you lah since it's your freaking van and I still have work to do! I supposed he meant continue to chat at his van. Yeah right, takde keje lain gitu..(like got no other things to do).
Back to this colleague who assumed that he is full of himself. Cant believe I actually tried to protect his inflated ego when I said that he's this shy modest person..blah blah blah...but with me, he doesnt show it coz he knows im younger than him so he can take a swipe. Then again, he's married so I dont play back like saying how handsome he is despite his constant reminder about his looks......*yawns* Still she warned me to be careful coz men, married or not especially those newly married like this bugger...they still pretty shaky and that being chinese, it is worse off because they can easily have affairs. They can also happily declare themselves as an MBA. Married But Available. Oh shit. He did mention saying that before but not to me but to another colleague from a separate zone when she asked him about his status.
Then I was like..how can he like me or think of me as a likely affair..Im not that pretty or that petite. She said dont be surprised that sure they may have such pretty small sized girlfriend but then all 'flat' so their eyes tend to rove around and look at curvier girls who are not so 'flat' with their shapely figure and bigger boobs. I cringed when I think about Dennis in that line..and I said he looks innocent enough and doesnt seem to flirt openly with us...but she told me again that men, no matter how innocent looking they are, there is not one single men who dont think about sex. Women usually go for men with certain qualities but for them, the number one thing they think about is whether that particular woman is able to satisfy his needs or not. And she knows this kind of men..whom I suppose she is referring to him....are a lot in the private companies where they can have affairs with this woman or that woman even though they are married. So if he wants to be like that, he should jolly well join the private sector.
Oof. Thats harsh. Well sir, you cant have everyone ga-gaing over your looks! To me it was just an innocent comment lah but she kinda took it seriously based on her experiences with such men back then when she was working in the private sector. Still, I told her that I know where I stand with him being married which she said good lah coz cant trust men that much married or otherwise. I just said all this time he did not go far except making some harmless comments which do not imply at all if he is into affairs. He is just being casual with me coz well...maybe he thought that we are of the same wavelength. But this is just between me and her which in return, she also let me know that well...we can have principles in life. Still, rules can be broken but as long as we dont go too far and know our limits, we are still pretty safe. Meaning..I can still flirt with him? bwahahahah!! Kidding!
Hopefully that bugger can shut his gap tomorrow when he comes to our team to take the laptop tomorrow which he does every Thursday. I only know for sure he wont be hanging around that much and make a quick getaway if someone else is there apart from my partner. I dont think Im about to protect his sorry ass again. She was also telling me that she doesnt want to look at him if he comes tomorrow after that comment but that was before me telling her that hes not that sort of person and that he was just kidding around. So we see how it goes even though she is already telling me that no..she's not a freeloader like that hated colleague of ours..you know..the single and available oldest member of dennis fan club who will take chances to have a free ride in his van for an 'up close and personal' moment with him.
She kinda came at the wrong moment too huh..coz need I remind you..this IS the last week I get to see him including next monday too. The flu bug attacked my partner at the wrong time ah....hehe
