"Senior, where did you go?" Xiao Min asked as he stood up in front of assistant Li, who just stepped out of the airport.

Not answering, assistant Li asked, "What are you doing here at this hour?"

"I came to see off someone. Now tell me where did you go that you didn’t even answer my calls?" Xiao Min asked.

"I had some work." assistant Li replied, changing his path as Xiao Min blocked it.

"Senior!" Xiao Min exclaimed as he held assistant Li’s hand to stop him.

Giving out a deep sigh, assistant Li asked, "What are you doing, Xiao Min? I am in a hurry."

"First, answer me why didn’t you reply to my calls and messages," Xiao Min asked, not giving up.

"Am I bound to answer you and your calls?" said assistant Li as he pulled out his hand from Xiao Min’s hold.

Xiao Min followed him. "What did I do to you that you treat me like this? A few years back, when you said we should not be in touch because of our bosses and our professional responsibilities, I listened to you, but now everything is fine."

Assistant Li continued walking as he talked, "We are still assistants of different people...."

"But our bosses are not enemies now, and where is it written that two assistants can’t be friends," Xiao Min countered.

"It’s my rule that I wrote it," assistant Li replied.

"Do you really have to be like this, Senior? You know how much I adore you and want to be around you. Do you know how much..."

"But I don’t want you to bother me. Now stop following me."

Interrupting him, assistant Li stepped ahead in a hurry, and Xiao Min continued following him again. Crossing a certain distance, assistant Li stopped as one person stood there that changed the color on assistant Li’s face.

Xiao Min stopped beside assistant Li and looked at the person standing in front of them.

"Father!"

Xiao Dong, whose sight was fixed on assistant Li, looked at his son. "I am back from city Z."

"Ohh! I will be back home once I talk to a senior," Xiao Min informed, but someone interrupted him.

"I have nothing to talk with you, Xiao Min. Go with your father," assistant Li instructed as he bowed to Xiao Dong and left.

"Senior...."

"Don’t you have to go to the office, Xiao Min?" Xiao Dong asked.

"Hmm!" Xiao Min nodded, looking at the retreating back of assistant Li and felt hurt.

Feeling sad, Xiao Min sat in his car, and his father sat in the co-driver seat.

"What are you doing at the airport at this hour?" Xiao Dong asked.

"Boss asked me to give something to Mr. Lu Feng as he left for city S," Xiao Min replied as he drove the car out of the airport.

"And assistant Li?" Xiao Dong asked.

"I happened to see him there," Xiao Min replied.

"I hope you remember what I told you in the past," Xiao Dong asked.

"I remember, father and I followed it till now, but conditions have changed now," Said Xiao Min as he focused on the road, but his thoughts were wandering to assistant Li.

"Still, you are not allowed to be friends with him as both of you are assistants of....."

"Father, there is no enmity between our bosses now, and there is no such rule. Why both of you are adamant at the same thing. He talked the same as you. Why our professions should be the enemy of our friendship. You know how much he meant for me in the past, and your son is here just because of him."

"Whatever it is, but you can’t be a friend with him," Xiao Dong declared.

"I don’t want to talk about anything, father," Xiao Min instructed as his eyes turned moist.

Assistant Li sat in the cab and left. On the way back home, he remembered the memories with Xiao Min when they used to be together during their highschool times to their university days. Though they were senior Junior by the difference of a few years, they always kept in touch even after assistant Li graduated from the school early.

During Xiao Min’s university days, his Senior, Shen Li, had already become an assistant to Xi Cheng and was mostly busy.

Shen Li remembered the past when just a few days before the last exam of the university life of Xiao Min, he called Shen Li.

"Senior, soon I will graduate from the university, and the last day of my exam, I want to celebrate with you. Are you free on that day?"

Shen Li was happy to get the call from Xiao Min, "Even if I am not free, I can make time for my junior."

"So be ready, senior. I have to tell you something important too."

Shen Li could feel how happy and excited Xiao Min was, though he could not see him.

"Important? What is it?" Shen Li asked.

"That I will tell you when we will meet," said Xiao Min and hung up the call.

Smiling, Shen Li mumbled, "Silly kid."

On the day of their meeting, when Shen Li was about to go out to meet Xiao Min, he heard the doorbell of his home, and he saw a man standing in front of him whom he knew.

"Uncle! I..I mean Mr. Xiao Dong, please come inside," Shen Li offered.

Shen Li used to call Xiao Dong as uncle because he was his juniors father, but since the day Shen Li became assistant Li, he had to address him as Mr. Xioa Dong because they often had to face each other in the business meetings.

Xiao Dong entered the home and sat on the sofa as he looked serious while Shen Li didn’t know what to say.

"Mr. Xiao Dong, how come..."

"I am here to talk about my son," Xiao Dong interrupted him.

"W-What happened? Is he fine?" Shen Li turned worried.

"Hmm! He is fine, but if he continues to be with you, nothing would be fine," Xiao Dong replied.

"I didn’t understand," said Shen Li.
