Arthit - Busy Life

My mind is racing of all the requests and odd jobs I have doing while interning. I may have been here for three weeks, but it feels like I have not had enough hands on experience with what I'm actually here for. I can hear all the shouts of P'Cherry, "Nong Arthit go grab that box from procurement. We need it for the display. They never brought it back" "Nong Arthit deliver these documents to the regional managers office. I can't do it right now." "Nong, can you organize the stack of paperwork on that table. Sorry there is a lot. We have been swamped!"

"Nong!" When I looked up from the stack of documents in front of me I noticed that P'Yong was trying to get my attention. "I wai'd him apologetically. "Sorry, p'Yong. I was too focused on the sorting." "Completely understand. I am the same way when I am working on something. The guys and I want to treat you to dinner tonight can you come?" "Really Phi! I would love to come!" "Perfect. I know this great grill place. We go there sometimes when we have lunch together. It's pretty close by." "Thank you so much, phi" "okay. So after work just wait around and we will all walk over there." I nodded my head. He smiled and walked off not before noticing P'Cherry.

"How many times have I told you to keep your coffee way from the product display!" "So sorry my booty is too big and it knocked it over!" "Not just that Cherry! It spilt on that electric hot plate. Now we have to make sure it still works!" "P'Yong khrap! I did not mean to do it." "I know... but be careful next time. You need to set an example for our intern." He grabs the soggy hot plate with him as he storms off to his office.

I could hear foot steps approaching, "Nong!! You believe me right! That I never meant to spill the coffee!" "Auhh..." "come on Nong Arthit. You can tell me. I am big boy I can take it." I scratched the back of my neck. I hate being put on the spot. "Phi, I don't think.." before I could even finish speaking he comes closer and gives me hug. He shrieked in delight. "I knew it! P'Yong! The intern believes me!" He yells loud enough for our supervisor to hear him.

"Thank you Nong! You have been such a great help! Definitely made a difference having someone else who understands the products and production line mechanics. The last intern couldn't help worth nothing." "Huh? All I have been doing is sorting files and shifting letters and product around the building." He wiggles his hips to the same movement of his pointer finger. "No, dear. You read clearly the documents and sorted it by production line needs and requirements. Heck, you even noticed that mistake the other day with sales order I put in for procurement! Nong, you have been amazing help!" I felt the faint heat rising to my cheeks. Embarrassed by the compliments and shame of not realizing my own worth. "Thank you, P'Cherry." "No problem, Nong. Of course, I will do anything.. for you handsome." As he walked away.

Clearly, he was a very flirty guy, but very easy to talk to and understands his work well... that is when he doesn't get distracted...

Dinner was amazing the staff really embraced me as a new member of their team. I finally felt comfortable, confident, and content. That is until I received a text from Ai'Bright on my way home.

Bright:
Sooooooo...... have you spoken to Nong Kongpob lately?"

Arthit:
Yes. Everyday. why?

Bright:
Well, it seems the flys are buzzing around him.

Arthit:
What does that mean?

Bright:
I was talking to Aim and it seems that people are asking Nong Kongpob out...

Arthit:
What the hell!

Bright:
Aim thinks it's because you are not around the campus that feel they have a shot at Kong.

Bright:
That's what happens when you date a celebrity like the University Moon.

Arthit:
