Low Tide Love

Chapter 23

Author's POV

Sana's clueless staff, Tzuyu, Song Kang and Nayeon were nearly out of breath after climbing up endless flights of stairs. Their frantic attempts to save Sana had led them on a wild goose chase through the building.

Each step felt heavier than the last as they feared their beloved boss might disappear forever. Despite the initial excitement of payday, their hearts raced with panic and confusion.

Tzuyu's breathless voice broke the silence. "I can't... believe... Sana would... do this to us" she panted between gasps as she's clutching the railing for support.

Song Kang's face flushed with exertion as he nodded in agreement. "Yeah, this is... insane" he wheezed, struggling to keep up with Tzuyu's brisk pace.

Meanwhile, Nayeon with her normally timid demeanor replaced by a sense of determination kept on urged them onward. "We... we have to... save her... before it's too late" she urged, her voice trembling with urgency.

Song Kang attempted to maintain his cool despite the absurdity of the situation. "This is like... some sort of twisted workout routine. I... I can't feel my legs anymore" he quipped, punctuating his words with exaggerated gasps for air.

Tzuyu's attempts at encouragement took a comical turn as she tried to motivate her companions. "Come on, guys! We're almost there! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!" she exclaimed filled with false enthusiasm as she pointed to a flickering fluorescent light bulb above them.

Nayeon clutched her hands to her chest as she fought back tears. "I can't believe she will be leaving us. She's been like a second mother to me, always looking out for us and making sure we're okay" she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion.

Their journey had been fraught with mishaps and missteps, from tripping over loose floor tiles to accidentally knocking over a potted plant. Sweat beaded on their brows as they navigated the maze of corridors. Their frantic footsteps echoing in the empty halls.

Each passing minute, their imaginations ran wild with visions of Sana's impending demise. They couldn't fathom why she would send such alarming messages but they were determined to rescue her at all costs.

Despite their best efforts, their journey was fraught with comedic mishaps and obstacles. From narrowly avoiding a collision with a janitor's mop to mistaking a door marked "Exit" for their intended destination.

With each new challenge, their determination wavered though their resolve remained strong as they pressed on, fueled by the hope of
reaching Sana before it was too late.

Sana's POV

Lounging in my office with Shane nestled on my lap as we were munching on sunflower seeds, I felt a surge of amusement as I watched the antics of my three clueless workers unfold on the CCTV display.

It had been nearly an hour since they embarked on their mission to 'SAVE' me and their determination was both endearing and utterly hilarious.

Turning to my companions in the room, I shared a mischievous grin as we observed the scene unfolding before us. "Can you believe them? They're like a trio of bumbling detectives on a wild goose chase!" I chuckled, gesturing to the screen.

Rosé, Mingyu and Junhui, the designated timekeepers for these clueless trio had respectively joined in my amusement. Their laughter filling the room as they mimicked the exaggerated expressions of their charges on the screen.

"I swear, they're more entertaining than any sitcom!" Junhui remarked, wiping tears of laughter from his eyes.

"Absolutely hilarious! I never knew a rescue mission could be so... entertaining!" Rosé exclaimed between fits of giggles, her hand covering her mouth as she struggled to contain her laughter.

"Indeed. I must say, they're quite dedicated to their roles as Sana's saviors!" Mingyu agreed as his laughter echoing through the room.

I nodded in agreement, my laughter bubbling up alongside theirs. "It's true. Their loyalty knows no bounds even if it means racing up stairs in a frantic attempt to rescue me from... well, nothing" I grinned ear to ear.

During we watched the TV screen, I found myself marveling at the comedic timing of my clueless trio of employees. "Alright, timekeepers. What's the latest on these clueless trio daring rescue mission?" I said and trying to contain my amusement.

Rosé with a puzzled expression, consulted her phone before announcing, "Nayeon has been on the move for approximately... oh, about forty-five minutes now."

Mingyu was trying to stifle his laughter, added, "Song Kang's progress is... well, it's a tad slower. He's been at it for a solid fifty minutes."

Junhui with his own amusement evident couldn't help but add, "And Tzuyu... oh dear. Tzuyu's time is... well, it's a bit of a record-breaker. She's been going strong for a whopping sixty minutes!"

As the absurdity of the situation sank in, we burst into laughter.The sheer hilarity of my employees' exaggerated efforts to 'SAVE' me overwhelming.

"Sixty minutes?!At this rate, they'll need rescuing themselves!" I exclaimed, shaking my head in disbelief.

Shane, sensing our amusement, let out an enthusiastic bark. His tail wagging furiously as he joined in the laughter echoing throughout the room.
