Chapter(55) Kay Opens Pandora's Box
A week had passed, and the day came when Kay and Papa Leo would go to deliver the suits ordered by Mr. Jim and his son. Kay was already waiting for Papa Leo in the car, while Papa Leo and a staff member were helping carry things for them. It was around 4 p.m., and they drove to Jim's family home, which was almost out of town. After an hour of driving, they arrived in front of a luxurious mansion that was guarded by several big men. Their arrival was immediately greeted by several bodyguards who wanted to check the items they were carrying. After making sure they were safe and not carrying weapons, then they were allowed to enter the house. Inside the house, three servants greeted them and led them to the living room where Mr. Jim asked them to wait for him. After sitting for a while while drinking the tea that was prepared on the table, Jim soon came out of his private room and greeted Papa Leo and his two staff warmly. (1)

Thank you." , , ~~ Mr. Jim "Why do you bother to deliver the goods yourself, for next time just call us and let my assistant pick up the goods at your place !" , , ~~ Papa Leo "It's not a bother, Actually, this is part of my job too, and to make sure that there are no mistakes. " , , ~~ Mr. Jim "I see....now I understand why many of your clients stay for a long time." , , ~~ Papa Leo "Where should I put these suits?" , , ~~ Mr. Jim "If you don't mind, Please bring it upstairs, my bedroom is on the right, and my son's room is on the left , I'll call my assistant to help." , , ~~ Papa Leo "Alright, my staff will take this upstairs then." , , ~~ Mr. Jim "Please take them upstairs!" , , ~~ Jim's Assistant "Yess bos... (talk to Papa Leo's staff) Please folow me!" , , ~~ Kay "Khab..." (Then Kay and a staff member went upstairs, escorted by Mr. Jim's personal assistant.) (2)
While the staff went upstairs to place Jim's order , Jim and Papa Leo have a chance to chat alone in the living room. , , ~~ Mr. Jim "Speaking of which, when can we go out for dinner?" , , ~~ Papa Leo "Khun Jim, I apologize, I can't decide yet. I promise I'll call you when I find some free time." , , ~~ Mr. Jim "It's okay, I'll always be waiting for you." (Jim's hand gently touched Papa Leo's delicate face.) , , ~~ Papa Leo "Khun Jim , Please don't...you are a respected person , what if someone else sees?" , , ~~ Mr. Jim "Why should I think about what other people say, if necessary I will blind their eyes or cut out their tongues before they say one word." , , ~~ Papa Leo "Don't go overboard, That's not a good thing to do." , , ~~ Mr. Jim "If there's another way to get you, then I'll do it.... Khun Leo." (Jim came closer, and slowly brought his face closer to Papa Leo, as if to kiss him.) (3)
However, has not yet had the chance to kiss Papa Leo, suddenly had to be interrupted by the presence of Jim's son, who had just come home. Max coming home drunk and was seen accompanied by a girl who helped him to walk. Max, when he saw a guest in his house, did not greet the guest but instead showed his arrogant attitude. , , ~~ Max "Ooww...we have a guest.", , ~~ Mr. Jim "Behave yourself ! , Where have you been all night?" , , ~~ Max "Wherever I go, do I have to tel l you first? I'm not a kid anymore, so stop thinking of me that way,..Dad.." , , ~~ Mr. Jim "You..." (Papa Leo quickly stop the argument between father and son.) , , ~~ Papa Leo "Khun Max Sawadikhab... we come to deliver your order." , , ~~ Max "Do you have to deliver it yourself? Or do you have other interests with my father?" , , ~~ Mr. Jim "Watch your mouth!" (Papa Leo immediately held Jim back from hitting his son.) , , ~~ Max "Khun Leo...Did you see that? That's what I've been getting all this time." , , ~~ Papa Leo "Khun Jim...Please don't be like that, he is your son." (Jim slowly stepped back and lowered his hand) , , ~~ Mr. Jim "....." , , ~~ Papa Leo "Miss, please take him to his room !"(Papa leo talks to Max's girl friend) , , ~~ The Girl "Khaa/sure....". Then that girl helped him walk to his room. (4)
As Max and that girl walked up the stairs, they passed by his dad's assistant as well as the two men at the back. , , ~~ The Asisstant "Young master, you're back." , , ~~ Max "Umm... Who are they? What are they doing here?" , , ~~ The Asisstant "They are Khun Leo's staff, we were instructed to put the ordered suits in your room." , , ~~ Max "I see.... , can you make some hangover soup and bring it to my room! My head is still a bit heavy." , , ~~ The Asisstant "Yes, young master." ,, While Max was talking to his father's assistant, Kay's mind was in turmoil, when Kay saw Max's face, he seemed to recognize that face, a face that was almost similar to a photo he found in his late sister's room. But Kay tried to keep calm , because he remembered Ryu's words that asked him to stay calm no matter what happened. Holding back all those feelings, then Kay walked down the stairs and immediately left the house and got into the car while pretending to tidy up the bag. (5)
After that, Papa Leo's staff came over to tell him that the suit had been placed in the room according to Mr. Jim's orders. , , ~~ Staff "Boss...." , , ~~ Papa Leo "Are you guys done?Where's Kay?" , , ~~ Staff "Khab...Khun Kay is already in the car, it looks like he is on a phone call." , , ~~ Papa Leo "Ohh I see... Well, Khun Jim, I think we'll have to excuse ourselves." , , ~~ Mr. Jim "Why don't you wait until dinner?" , , ~~ Papa Leo "I'm so sorry, Maybe next time, because we still have an appointment with a client after this." , , ~~ Mr. Jim "Well, come again if you're free, and give me a call." , , ~~ Papa Leo "You're so kind, I appreciate it." (Jim walks Papa leo to the front door. ) , Then Papa Leo and his staff got into the car. while in the car Papa Leo saw Kay's pale face and only remained silent along the way back home. (6)
When the car arrived at home, The staff who had accompanied them earlier, immediately asked permission to go home because it was getting dark. Afterward, Papa Leo and Kay immediately entered the house and Kay just sat in the living room without saying anything. Meanwhile, Ryu and Rey, who had been busy in the kitchen preparing dinner, were surprised to see Kay in an unusual condition after returning from Jim's house. , , ~~ Ryu "Kay...What's wrong?" , , ~~ Papa Leo "I'm also confused, since he left Jim's house, he suddenly went blank, still saying nothing." , , ~~ Rey "Kay...Are you not feeling well?" , , ~~ Ryu "I know him, I think he saw something there." , , ~~ Kay "Phi...." , , ~~ Kay "Tell me something!" , , ~~ Kay "It looks like he's the guy in the photo, the photo I found in my sister's room, the photo of the guy I've been looking for all this time, even though his face has changed a little, but I'm sure he's that guy." , , ~~ Papa Leo "Nong Kay...Who are you talking about?" , , ~~ Kay "Jim's son, Max." , , ~~ Ren "Did he recognize you?Phi..." , , ~~ Kay "He doesn't seem to recognize me, because he's still asking who we are. Anyway, before I went abroad to work with Phi Ryu when my younger sister was in junior high school and that's when we both moved to Bangkok then I left my sister with my aunt to take care of her." , , ~~ Ren "That's good, he shouldn't recognize you." , , ~~ Kay "Why can't he recognize me?Khun Ren...." , , ~~ Ren "It's useless for you to look for him all this time, because his family cleaned up everything related to him in the past." , , ~~ Kay "How do you know?" , , ~~ Papa Leo "Because I asked Ren to find out Max's background , and look, Ren didn't get much out of him either." , , ~~ Kay "Sorry, if you don't mind, what is the reason you guys want to find out about Max's past?" , , ~~ Papa Leo "Before I tell the story , I want to ask you to keep our family secret at the cost of your life. Can you keep your word?" , , ~~ Kay "It seems like something serious, But believe me, I will never be a fool in the midst of a family that has helped me so much so far, you can hold my words too. Khun Paa...." , , ~~ Ryu "I trust you." (Ryu spoke with a serious look at Kay) , , ~~ Papa Leo "Have you heard about The GIOU family death case in America 18 years ago?" , , ~~ Kay "Yes I've heard of it, it was a big case back in the day. TV news said all the family members were declared dead in a boat explosion. What's wrong, suddenly discussing the case of the death of that rich family?" , , ~~ Papa Leo "The ship explosion didn't actually kill the whole family , there are still 4 lives left after managing to escape during the incident, and they are still alive today." , , ~~ Kay "I still don't get it , then what does it have to do with that family... Ohh Wait, Wait a minute...Don't tell me..." (Kay looked seriously at each of the four faces of Papa Leo's family.) , , ~~ Kay "Are you guys kidding me?" (7)
