Fated to be yours

Chapter 16

I realized I never mentioned Mew's company name. So here:

Mew is the CEO of his family business, C&K Infra. Since it's started by his parents, it's their initials. I know, nothing creative but couldn't come up with something better, hehe.

*****

The evening of the charity gala,

Gulf looks into the mirror. He is dressed in a suit Andy had sent for him. A simple black suit with a white shirt underneath and a matching black bow tie. He has tried his best to style his hair as in the picture Andy had sent to him to go with his look, and though it took time he finally managed to get it perfect. He concludes he looks fine but can't help the nervousness that has started to creep in.

He had never attended any parties or Gala like this before. Unlike his brother who used to get forced to attend such events before he chose to be a doctor, his father knowing his introverted nature never forced him to go to attend such parties and events . And he was thankful for that, he rather liked to stay at home and study. But now he understands that he has a responsibility as a husband of one of the most renowned businessmen. Even if it's a forced alliance, they have social obligations to fulfill and he is ready to do his part. His mother-in-law was very excited about him appearing with Mew at the party when he last talked to her and he doesn't want to disappoint her.

Fortunately, two days ago Mild had given him a catalog that has all the important people and acquaintances of Mew so he could get a rough idea about the people which are going to be there at the gala, and he has also done his own research. Now he just hopes that everything goes well.

He looks at himself in the mirror for the last time and takes a deep breath. "I can do this" he nods to himself before collecting his phone, wallet, etc. When he comes downstairs, a staff member informs him that Mew is still in his study. 

He hadn't even seen the man the whole evening. When he had returned from his classes an hour ago, P'Fon had informed him that Mew was already ready for the evening and attending a video conference in his study, so not wanting to be late, he had rushed to get ready.

"Yes, it's looking little problematic but I will handle it soon. Hmm."

He turns at Mew's voice to see him descending down the stairs while talking into his phone.

Gulf...stares. He sees him in a suit every day and of course, Mew always looks handsome but today he looks different. The man is in a similar outfit like him, a black suit but while he is in a bow tie, Mew has opted for a gray colored check cravat and instead of his usual hairstyle where his hair partly falls on his forehead, today his hair is pushed back revealing his impeccable forehead. He is also wearing a small earring in his left ear. He looks sharp as always and... majestic, he concludes.

He realizes he is staring when Mew comes to stand before him, eyebrows raised in amusement. "I know I look good, Gulf, but you are being too obvious" he smirks.

Blushing to his roots, he frowns at the man's smugness.

Mew chuckles. "Don't worry, you look good too" he teases.

Gulf looks down at himself and fiddles with his bow-tie, "Are you sure, Mr. Suppasit?" After looking at Mew, he wonders if he looks good enough to stand beside the man as his partner in front of so many people.

Mew is staring at his hand so he stops messing with his tie and adds, "I am not used to wearing bow ties, this feels weird."

"It's looking good on you and you are looking perfect, don't worry" Mew smiles gently. "Now, I forgot something in the room, so give me a minute to fetch it and after that, we can leave" saying he walks back to the stairs.
