"Yes"
"l think you're hallucinating due to the medication" Hallucinations are where you hear, see, smell, taste or feel things that appear to be real but are sensory experience that exist only in your mind "Did you see his face. How did you know it's him"
"Because he has the same body as Hin"
After their chat, he exit the office. He though back to what Pum said. "THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO OFFEND" The nurses walked Toa to his friend's ward were Noonak was chatting with his friends, Gene and Tawan, he waved the nurses away.
In the company of his four rich friends Noonak a womanizer, is reluctant to appear boastful but he is very boastful about how rich his parents is. His Dad Mr Kia, president of Dhir corporations and mom a Judge. Tawan single bachelor from the Li's, their family owns an Estate houses known as National Trust Estates. Gene a married man from an old money family. Ice also know as Toa upraise to his position after the passing of his parents and sister.He witness his own parents and sister been killed that left him with a childhood trauma. His success is largely owed to the fact that he worked extremely hard. He always has a serious and fierce look. He rarely smiles or laugh, so his friends nicknamed him ice.
He owns a company, restaurant, clothing store and the hospital Noonak is in.
"Here l brought you a gift" He handed him beautifully wrapped box. He opened it.
"Really! Wine?"
"it's 1900 Chateau Margaux, You are welcome" Toa face was a bit serious, Noonak asked "Hey are you okay?" his expression turn cold. Recalled what happened earlier. He told his friends about the incident.
"So you did rape him" Noonak said making fun of Tao.
"he called him Hin too" Tawan joke, they laugh like a drain. He looked them with Indifference and said
"You're about to get that smile wipe off your face" he grabbed Noonak by the arm which was wrapped in bandage from an accident and pull on it "Awww" he wince
"You should be laughing about this too"
"I will get you arrested for that" Noonak taunt. Held his arm in pain
"Toa are you certain, you did do or say anything to anyone that you couldn't remember, sometimes we do things we can't remember you know" Gene pat his shoulder
"If l did l would" Toa answered
"Hin did you rape him" Tawan said playfully
"Say that again and l will cut your tongue off". They've known Toa to be extremely cold but does have a soft spot. It was hurting his pride seeing his friends teasing him he said his good byes and left.
"Owing to the fact that you don't like the wine, l will keep it" Tawan said
"Don't or he would get you arrested" Gene teased him
In the office Mhok was waiting anxiously for Tum to arrive. When he got in he dragged him to the ladies restroom in a hurry.
"I don't want you telling people about us. But happened that night was due to the influence of alcohol. Remember you begged me to sleep with you and....." he didn't finish and felt a smack across his face. Tum was so angry he slam the door on his way out. Just as Mhok step outside his eyes met with Aranya, Anong's high school friend. He forgot how to breathe for a second. He didn't know how to react and walk pass her. The thought of Aranya scared him.
In the office they couldn't keep and eye contact, and would act nervous around each other.
"Hi Tum have this'' Aranya gave him a cup of coffee. "Sorry about last time. I was too drunk to take care of you, wait how did you get home that night" she asked curiously. Tum shot a glance at Mhok before looking away. Aranya followed Tum's gaze to certify what she heard. How do l tell Anong? She thought. Mhok felt uncomfortable seeing Aranya and Tum getting along. It's a working period were everyone is working individually at their desks. The office was abuzz with activity as everyone is working hard to meet the tight deadline.
After his first project was done he submitted it to Tamas office. He was hesitant, he stood in front of Tamas office for a while, and double check the files before heading in. A smile appeared his face once he step out of his office. He went back to his desk and began working on his 2nd project right away
Everyone was busy typing on his computer and working at their desks "Everyone the boss in here" Tamas assistant Perm announced.
"When did he come back?"
"Why did he come unannounced" said another
"To inspect our work l guess" they gathered and mumbled to themselves. They patted their hair and others adjusting their clothes
"Welcome back, sir. We've all missed you" He greeted his amiably. "How was your trip"
"Good" he answered curtly. He said with a trembling voice "There are some new faces due to the last incident, we fired most of them and hired a new employees, l have sent some files over to your desk. You can have look at it when you are less busy" he make known of the new Intern. BLC (Beyond Luxury Company) web design company. Toa took a glance at the employees who were very welcoming. His eyes met with a familiar face. That person was none other than Tum. Tum blink hard a few times wondering if the image would disappear, if his mind had generated an image but it wasn't the case. He wanted to lash out but stop himself. "Did he followed me here" he said in his head. He thought back to how his colleagues and Mr. Tamas welcomed him
"Why is he here?" He was in a dark blue handmade suits and nice tie. This guy clearly swims in money.
"Is h-he the BOSS?" He wanted to make a hole and hide in it. He prayed he won't remember him. He took a few steps back and quickly snuck out unnoticed and hid under one of the desk. Toa approached him under the desk. He saw two pairs off shoes from under the desk he feared
''GET OUT" with a commanding tone
He trembled with fear. He felt chills running down his spine. He slowly came out. He was so scared his legs almost gave in. Tao was so angry just by looking at him. Tum felt like he was looking through him. "This brat" with an Icy tone he said
"Office now"
He broke out a code sweat. He thought he either talk his way out of it or apologizes. The expression on Toa face was cold. Everyone gathered was curiously looking at each other and whispering among themselves. "I've never seen the boss this angry" one of his college whispered. Tum stood in the bright spacious conveys a special modern elegant decorated and fancy Infinity Sectional furniture desk in the interior office and look at the man behind the desk. In Toa's office, It's so quiet you could hear a pin drop. He asked "who paid you?. Which company paid you?. l will pay double the amount they paid you, if you tell me who hired you to make a fuse at my hospital"
"Your hospital?!" He mumbled
"N no one" He stammered. He was so scared to even breathe loudly. Toa looked him with fire in his eyes. Although it's seems he was telling the truth, he needed to make sure and needed to get everything out of him.
Seeing that Toa was silent he was quick to speak ''Sir l..l.. didn't"
He slammed the wallet on his desk to shut him up. Before heading to the office he checked in his car to have some information about Tum but he saw his company card. "I guess this belong to you" Tum's hands tremble as he took the wallet. He few minutes later he got out of the office with a sad look on his face. He run to the bathroom and made a call to his brother. Tim and Tum are like brothers. Tim's Mom Praew a single mother passed away after birthing him. Tum's mom Kaew took him in and look after him she too sadly passed away due a sadden illness. They've been together since and are inseparatable. He sob whiles breaking down Tim immediately got into his car and drove to the office. His colleagues circled around him
"hey are you okay" one asked
"what did you do you to piss him off like that"
"you must have done something bad l guess to make him react like that" said another. He said "l went to hospital and l thought he look familiar to someone l knew so l held him by his collar," they open their mouth wide in disbelief. Boat asked "why didn't know, he was the owner of the Company, didn't you do your research" Mhok upon hearing this felt sorry for him. Tum parked up his stuff and just as he was about to leave Mhok offered to drop him off but he decline to accept.
He watched him get into a car and leave. So many thoughts run through his head after seeing Tum leave. He had an idea and run to Tao office. The next day he woke up and checked his pajamas and there was nothing. He got up and got dressed and head out to Tim's Coffee shop. It was empty. He was wiping the table.
"You're 53 minutes late go back home your fired"
"Where is everyone. There's no one here"
"Yeah l know. Sales have been bad"
