Chapter 16 - Chapter 16

"riiing... tit"

"hello? yes mom what's up? .... more money? didn't I give you most of my salary?... gone? how come!? it's only been a week since I sent it!... for my sister's wedding? she's not even working yet! how can she get married... argh! yes yes! I'll figure it out later!"

"hehei! Rocky! How are you, walking corpse!?" a man in a neat suit with 45 enthusiasm.

meanwhile his interlocutor was a man with a lethargic face, a flat look in his eyes, a mustache and beard that were shaved off and black hair disheveled, his clothes also looked crumpled and his tie was not worn neatly.

the man named Rocky a.k.a the walking corpse who was suddenly embraced became now uncomfortable. "Cih!... Henry! It's still early in the morning but it's already noisy! Just disturb other people there!"

The man called Henry has a strong positive aura, especially with his neat appearance that accentuates a pleasing look that is really like heaven and earth when compared to Rocky.

"hehehe... come on don't be like that... at least show a little spirit..." Henry replied encouragingly.

the two also entered the skyscraper in front of him. as soon as they entered the building the company lobby which covered 2 floors immediately greeted them.

in the lobby there were many people passing by with various interests including Rocky and Henry.

but when in the lobby Rocky immediately put on the mask that was in his pocket, Henry realized his partner's attitude and immediately patted his back.

"thump", "you are... why do you always wear a mask like that?" he asked.

Rocky glanced for a moment before replying, "haaah... you know my Considium don't pretend you don't know Henry"

"hahahaha.... come on you should enjoy this life... " Henry suddenly took a big step behind Rocky and grasped both shoulders that felt thin. "... you should be more alive than this, and start with some light exercise"

excitedly Henry immediately pushed Rocky around the company lobby, although the scene was quite strange, but actually it somehow did not make the people around uncomfortable.

after a while the two of them "exercised" they finally reached the floor they were working on with Rocky breathing heavily.

"hah!.... hah! damn you Henry!" cursed Rocky who immediately knelt down limply.

Henry, who saw his friend now full of sweat, laughed happily. "hahahaha... how is it better?"

Henry gave the size of his hand, but Rocky immediately brushed it off rudely, "cih? don't come near me!"

"hahaha... come on at least you feel better, right?" said Henry.

Rocky stood up and walked towards his office along with Henry. "For you, but for me, it's just tiredness!"

The two continued talking towards their office, at the same time some employees were whispering about the two people.

Two very close people with two different personalities gave a unique feel to the surroundings, and the two were always the talk of the town among the other employees.

"hey is that them?"

"right new kid, the prince of light and the walking corpse"

"hm... is that taken from their daily nature?"

"well more or less like that... you will know if you work with them"

back to the two unique friends where they have arrived at their respective desks that are opposite each other.

both opened the Project file that was already on their desks, and carefully both already immediately understood what to do.

The Project file they are working on comes from the same source, they have to build the world's first super advanced robot, the difference is that Henry takes care of the body parts while Rocky works on the software on the robot.

they are like a pair of wings in harmony, the difference is that Henry works by dividing tasks in groups and dividing them evenly, while Rocky distributes his tasks individually but with duties according to his team's abilities.

indeed both use different methods but the results that emerge from their methods are nothing to disappoint and today coincidentally is the day their project is completed.

--------------------

"HAHAHAHA!.... Bravo! Thank you all for your hard work!" said Henry loudly as he stood on his desk to everyone.

the sound of applause continued until he lifted Rocky to join him, "Hey! Rocky! Don't you want to say anything?"

Rocky glanced at Henry and pushed him away irritably, "no, you've said everything!"

"hehehei don't be like that....let's go eat! We should at least treat them, right?" persuaded Henry.

Rocky looked around carefully, he could see that everyone's gaze was eagerly waiting for his words, "sigh! Save me a quiet corner..."

"HORE!!!" suddenly Rocky's words were greeted with cheers from employees and throwing documents everywhere, but before things got more chaotic Rocky immediately shouted. "SHUT UP!" .... YOU ARE NOT A LITTLE CHILD AGAIN!"

then without waiting for the response of his men he went straight to the elevator, while the atmosphere became silent and awkward.

Henry who was still on the table came down and tried to dispel the awkward atmosphere, "EHEM!... forgive Partypoper just now, he really doesn't want you to carelessly throw away important documents by accident and make Office Boy work overtime tonight... so let's party at the restaurant instead"

after saying that he immediately led everyone to the elevator, but some people were left behind because they cleaned up the scattered documents with a sigh of relief because the documents he had previously thrown were not wasted, even some of them even hugged the documents on the floor with gratitude.

Some time passed and now everyone was partying in a restaurant with drinks and food that had been arranged buffet, but in the corner of the room there was one quiet place that was occupied by a man who was busy with his cell phone accompanied by a bottle of drink.

the scene certainly attracted the attention of a woman, but instead of approaching Rocky she approached the source of the party which was none other than Henry. "Hello Mr. Henry..."

Henry who saw a beautiful woman calling him immediately smiled and slightly smoothed his hair, "oh, hahaha.... hello, can I help you?"

the woman smiled while offering a drink, "first congratulations on the success of your project ... but why is there someone who seems to be excluded?"

Henry turned to Rocky for a moment and showed it to the woman he just met, "hmm... miss, you can't see a book by its cover, especially since it's in the dark so if you want to congratulate then you have to tell me and her"

the woman was still confused and wanted to ask but before she could do so a commotion broke out.

"HEY!" .... LOOK IF YOU WALK"

"am...geez, I didn't mean to"

"NOT ON PURPOSE!? WHY DO YOU THINK I'M STUPID!?"

A commotion occurred in the restaurant and it was seen that an employee who was drenched in drinks and was surrounded by thugs, the scene certainly made the party that was filled with cheers become tense, seeing that the woman who was beside Henry also approached him and hid behind him.

"Mr. Henry ... we better finish this event, the thugs are the rulers here, so .."

he had not finished his words someone covered him with a suit, when he realized that a man who had previously been in a quiet corner of the room had taken off his tie and wrapped it around one of his hands.

Henry smiled and picked up a pool cue and followed the figure. "Rocky... you don't have to finish it like this"

the man who was none other than Rocky just glanced at Henry, "they can only understand human language if they are battered"

"hmm... well, please protect me, ok?" said Henry while nudging his friend's arm.

"Then go home on foot!", replied Rocky who immediately took care and punched one of the huddled thugs.

the thugs were of course surprised, but as if it was planned Rocky immediately pulled his partner who was sitting on the floor and threw him at Henry who was still behind him.

And after that he immediately beat the thugs with wild and brutal movements, the thugs certainly fought back but Rocky could easily dodge without difficulty.

after a while the thugs were already lying badly with bruised faces but on the other hand Rocky's condition was still smooth and untouched, there were only blood stains on several parts of his face.

and afterwards he turned around and caught a key that was thrown by Henry who was currently sitting holding an ice pack on the back of his head, "you're this weak still trying to fight, better look in the mirror before doing something.... don't be cool"

looking at Rocky who walked over and took his jacket from the woman who had previously greeted him, Henry laughed "hahaha... didn't you make me like this yourself? by throwing someone with one hand?... heh, it's not entirely my fault!"

Rocky rolled his eyes lazily. "heh... your own fault is behind me....". "Rizzz..." a vibration from his cell phone rang and his face now became even more crumpled, he immediately turned around to say goodbye, "I'm going home, someone brought trouble for me"

"Wait! Anu, thank you" said a colleague who was saved by Rocky, who immediately replied with a wave of the hand.

"haah... this guy, AUCH!" complained Henry, on the other hand the woman who had previously greeted him approached him and helped hold the ice on his head, "hmm.... he apparently has a heroic nature, too bad.... what kind of life makes him like that?"

Henry laughed once again, he also turned his head and showed a big smile. "hahaha... if you have a drug addict father and a gambler mother, but you still have someone you have to protect and live for... so don't be surprised"

but as soon as he finished speaking his colleagues immediately approached with expressions full of interest.

"Really, Mr. Henry, can you tell us about Mr. Rocky?"

"right who knows we can make him have a positive aura"

"you're right!... it's a mental test to work with him for a lifetime if he still has that face"

"you're right"

"hey! what are you talking about Rocky!? i'm just worried because you suddenly sat down with a blank stare! you look like you're contemplating something!.... wait you don't have eyes so how do i know you're contemplating?" said Lylah while thinking hard.
