JD followed the svelte tanned lady with always a ready smile on her face out of the lift and after scanning her pass into the spacious but professionally decorated department. JD, a fresh graduate from one of the local university, has always set his sights on joining one of the prestigious off shore banks as an investment banker. Now armed with a First Class Honours Degree, he has fulfilled his first step of his dream and joined this american giant bank.

"Here, this is your cubicle, you can leave your bag here and I will bring you to your manager soon after.' The fake american accent really annoys JD and he was trying hard to remember this lady's name, was it Rosalina? Or Roselina? 'Rosy, my honey, you looked astonishing this morning!" JD snapped out of his lost state and looked at the frivolous guy, he was mesmerized. This guy, looked as if he is in his late twenties, was immaculately decked in designer getup. Tall, tanned, well built with broad shoulders, he wears the exact same smile as 'Rosy'.

"Hi! Handsome, you always make my day!" smiled 'Rosy' coyly. JD was getting frustrated with the fake accents when the goodlooker looked at him and extended his large hands. "Hi! I am Kai. You must be my new colleague, right?" "Err'yah, I supposed so. I am JD." stammered JD. "Oopss'see, I always forget my job when I see you, your handsome face is such a distraction. This is JD, and yes he is your new colleague but reporting under Pauline and he is our 'star' of the department, Kai. He is under James's team and we ought to see Pauline now." 'Rosy' sent a quick goodbye peck to Kai and Kai returned the same gesture and gave JD a bear hug with a quick wink, "See you later, buddy! And in case you forgot, Rosy's name, she is Roseline." said Kai. JD was astonished that Kai saw through his confusion and he can't help but laughed a little at himself for getting her name totally wrong.

The morning went pass without a hitch, JD was introduced to his colleagues in the whole department by Pauline. He showed a tinge of disappointment that the team he will be working with consists mainly ladies in powersuits with thick make up and speaking in a mix mash of australian cum amercian accented English. The only two guys in his team are Robertson, a thirtysomething amercian caucasian from LA and another canadian born chinese named Robbie and at one look, JD confirmed Robbie is a macho mary and one of his kind.

When it was time for lunch, Robbie sashayed over to JD and asked, "Boy, you have any lunch appointment? You better cancel it if you have 'cause we have make a reservation at the Equinox and you are coming with us." "We? Who are we? Err?Equinox? I think I will join you guys next round." JD lied. "Hello?! You heard me right? I told you that if you have any lunch appointment, cancel them! You do know English, right? Or do you need me to repeat to you in singlish? Anyway, Pauline is buying us this meal so quit being a bitch and go!" JD looked at Robbie's irritated face and felt insulted when a chirpy voice broke the awkward moment.

"Yo guys! Not going for lunch yet? You guys better not make the new guy hungry." Both Robbie and JD tore away their glare at each other and Robbie flashed his megawatt smile at Kai. "My oh my! Looks who here! My dear Kai, what makes you come over" JD rolled his eyes at Robbie reaction. "Hey muscle man, I just drop by to check on our new colleague and if he has no lunch mate, I will lunch with him." Kai said matter of fact. "That's really nice of you! But Pauline is buying the team lunch and that includes the new boy. Anyway, you weren?t this enthusiastic when I first joined the department." Robbie snared. Kai smiled and replied, "Come on, you don?t need me to lunch with you. Well, since JD is well taken care of, then I shan?t hold you guys up. Have fun!" Robbie turned back to look at JD and said, "Let's go now, freshman! And by the way, Kai has a girlfriend who is a model. Total bitch, I tell you!"
