A Week later...

"Why didn't no one inform me that Mr Rive won't be coming for the meeting today?!" Kongpob shouted angrily as he threw the file across the room while glaring at Third and another employee, Selvi.

Kongpob was sitting over the chair while Third and Selvi stood in front of him, both didn't dare to face Kongpob and kept looking towards the door in hope that Arthit will be here soon.

"It was a sudden request from another party..." Selvi tries to explain but was cut off by Kongpob

"You think I'm interested in hearing such excuses?!" He slammed his hand over the desk and glared at her, Selvi looks towards Third for help but Third pretend to be interested in the office's interior

"I......" Selvi tried to explain but decided to give up, Third scowls at Kongpob but didn't dare to speak up in Selvi's defence

"Um.. who died here?"

Everyone turned to look towards the door when they heard Arthit, Third and Selvi sighed in relief when they saw Arthit who stood at the door with a cup of coffee in his hand

Kongpob looks towards the clock at the wall and then at Arthit in frustration, "You're an hour late!" Kongpob pointed out in irritation

"Really? And whose fault is that? Someone dares to ask me to get them their fucking ice Americano with extra shots of expresso... dark as their soul" Arthit said loudly as he walked near the desk and place the cup, he gave Kongpob a heated look before turning to look at the other two in the office with confusion

Both Third and Selvi look at Arthit with admiration while Kongpob's face darkens, "Are you tired of working here Mr Arthit? I can sign your resignation letter if you want so badly!" Kongpob said with a fake smile

"By law! You can't fire me! By thee of law, I'm a slave under Third who is a slave under you. We already had this conversation " Arthit said dramatically, making Kongpob rub his forehead in pain

"Can you ever shut up?" Kongpob asked in annoyance, Arthit was about to argue but Third pulled his sleeve to stop him.

"Fine! What's the commotion here?" Arthit asked as he turned to look at the other two, meanwhile, Kongpob picked up the coffee and frowns seeing the cheap brand but quietly took the sip

"Mr Rive cancelled the meeting suddenly and Kongpob is upset about it..." Third explains while looking between Arthit and Kongpob

"Huh? Didn't they badly want us to be shareholders in their project? Why so suddenly cancel the meeting?" Arthit said in curiosity

Selvi looked at Kongpob and hesitated before speaking, "Heard that they wanted to meet another company regarding this offer..." She became quiet when felt Kongpob's sharp look

"Ohh... well isn't good for us?" Arthit said as he look towards Kongpob who gave him a puzzled look

"Well Boss, they don't seem to be sincere people. If they can so readily go to others for an offer, who knows what they might do in future? Aren't they looking down at us" Arthit explained, Kongpob became quiet and started thinking about what Arthit pointed out

"That's right, tell them not to contact us regarding this matter again!" Kongpob announced, both Third and Selvi looks at Kongpob in shock

"But that means we are letting Teepakorn have this project instead!" Third said anxiously, even Selvi nodded in worry

"So? What? Are we lacking a better project?" Arthit spoke again. Kongpob looks between Third and Arthit but couldn't decide what to say

"I heard that this project isn't promising, we will end up losing money....." Arthit started to explain
