First encounter
Location: Bangkok, Thailand
I wake up a little earlier than usual. I look for something to wear because today I start working in a new office. I put on a blue shirt with a black tie and black pants. I grab my backpack and leave the house. It takes me about 15 minutes to walk to the office.
At the crosswalk, I see the green light and quickly rush across the street when a black car nearly hits me. A man gets out and apologizes, offering me money. I don't want any stranger's money, so I tell him I don't want it and give it back.
I quickly go to the office and stand in line to greet the boss. Then the black car arrives, and the same man as before gets out. When he opens the back door, a tall, young, slim man steps out. I realize that my boss almost hit me earlier. But I can't help but think to myself that the boss is incredibly handsome.
He looks at me and says, "You, come to my office immediately." Oh no, I think to myself; he'll blame me for what happened earlier. I enter the boss's office and see him sitting in a chair. "Sit," he tells me. I sit down and look him in the face for the first time.
His perfectly brown-black eyes, nose, and lips...
I don't know how many seconds passed, but something inside me shifted.
He started speaking. "My name is Chak Phanprasit, and I am the CEO of Love Food. I expect what happened earlier to stay between us. Do you understand?"
"I understand," Niran Sukrit replied.
"Now go do your job," Chak said firmly.
"Understood," Niran answered.
Niran left the office and walked to Ms. Chareon, who introduced him to his colleagues and showed him his workplace. He sat down at his desk and started designing an advertisement for Valentine's Day, which was in three weeks.
When it was time for lunch, he stood up, grabbed his phone, and headed toward the elevator. While waiting, he sent a message to his mother, letting her know he was okay and satisfied with his new job.
As the elevator doors opened, he stepped inside and pressed the button for the first floor. Just before the doors closed, Chak suddenly entered.
