Encounter

Extra

Forth's pov:

I made my way to p'Tae's company after ordering the ring.

I was really excited to see his reaction.

I already asked p'Tee if he's busy. He said he'll have a break around this time before getting back to work. - Yes I texted him. Not called.

I pulled up in the parking lot and made my way inside.

"Hello, Mr.Jaturapoom." The receptionist greeted me when he saw me.

I smiled.

"Are you here to see Mr.Darvid?" He asked.

I nodded.

"In that case you can head up. I'll call his secretary and inform him of your arrival." He smiled.

I nodded again and went to the elevator.

"Hello, Mr.Jaturapoom." His secretary Mr.Kyle greeted me when I got off the elevator.

I nodded.

"Is he in his office?" I asked.

He was taken aback.

I smiled.

A wide smile formed on his face as well. "Yes, he is."

I gave one of the bags I had brought to him.

"For me?" He looked at me wide-eyed.

I nodded. "It's just some pasta. Nothing too fancy. I hope you like it."

"Thank you very much. I really appreciate it." He smiled.

I nodded and went to p'Tae's office.

I knocked on the door and waited.

"Come in." His voice came from the inside.

I slowly opened the door and peeked in.

He smiled widely when he saw me.

I went in and closed the door behind me.

"So this is why Tee called me to ask when I was free huh?" He chuckled.

I scratched my head sheepishly.

"What's that?" He tilted his head when he saw the bag in my hand.

I put it on the desk in front of him.

He raised his eyebrows when he saw the container of pasta.

"Great timing. I'm starving." He sighed happily.

I smiled and sat down on one of the chairs.

He took out the container and opened it.

"Wow, it tastes really good." He raised his eyebrows.

I smiled proudly.

"I'm glad you like it."

He choked and coughed badly.

I quickly opened the water bottle I had brought and gave it to him.

He gulped down half the bottle before looking at me wide-eyed.

I chuckled.

"I'm a fast learner."

"Since when have you been able to talk?" He asked slowly.

"Since a little over a week ago." I tilted my head.

"Does anyone else know?" He asked.

"Beam and p'Mark know. No one else." I said.
