Island Blues and Greens- VegasPete

Chapter 10

Pete's POV

"WELL?!" Khun Kinn asked while tapping his foot on the sand. Oh no! I'm going to get fired! Or worse, be tagged as a traitor.

I feel so awkward as I lay there on the sand trapped by Vegas' arms and legs while being quizzed by Khun Kinn. I am sure Vegas is pinning me down on purpose. There's no way he can be this heavy. I struggle to sit up but I can't and I look at Porsche for help.

"Help him get up. Break Vegas' limbs if you have to" Khun Kinn instructed Porsche

When Porsche knelt down on the sand, Vegas suddenly got up.

"Hey, Porsche how are you doing? Wow, handsome as usual." He winked at Porsche and I see Khun Kinn shake his head. Porsche just shrugged.

I stood up and pat my clothes clean of sand and tried to wai Khun Kinn. He motioned his hand to say it wasn't necessary anymore.

"Why are you here together, Pete?"

"Well, last night, I was with him at the bar but then he disappeared so I went home and then grandma said he didn't come home so we both looked for him and found him here at the beach but I was so drunk so I fell asleep on the sand and grandma left me. I thought Khun Vegas would just leave me here but when I woke up, you're all here." I said without pause and I am now trying to catch my breath.

Khun Kinn motioned for me to go with him under a coconut tree for some shade and probably some privacy as Vegas and Porsche was left looking for shade under a different tree.

"Why do you think he's here, Pete? Do you think he's targeting you for following him around and getting evidence?" Khun Kinn asks.

"I used to think that Khun Kinn but now I'm not so sure. He doesn't have bodyguards with him although I did notice two men following him a while ago. He discovered some spying devices in his luggage too. If you don't mind me asking, was it you, Khun Kinn? Did you have him followed and
bugged?" I ask him.

"Yes" he answered. Really?I'm shocked.

I never expected him to do this now that the Main family has won most of the assets owned by the Minor clan. If anything, Vegas isn't even competition anymore. He's lost all the major clients due to his father's corruption being exposed. What is the reason, Khun Kinn?

"I wanted to make sure he doesn't come after you and your grandma. I just wanted to protect you, Pete. The listening devices were broken and the men I hired to follow him around are now nowhere to be found. I decided to come here myself to make sure you're okay."

That acually put me in harm's way, Khun Kinn but Huh? His words are confusing me. He wants to protect me, a bodyguard? Woah Khun Kinn really loves his employees! I'm touched. I thought he was going to fire me. Phew!

"Thank you so much, Khun Kinn. I'm really thankful. We're okay now because I'm here with grandma but if I get back to work, would it be possible to have people here to watch over my grandma?" I say my request now that Khun Kinn looks like he's in a good mood.

"Sure. Whatever you need, Pete." He smiles at me. Awesome! He's in a really good mood. I should ask for a raise again. Hmmmmm nevermind he might fire me. I look at him again to see he's looking at me intently. Why is he doing that? It makes me feel awkward.

"Khun Kinn, we should go back to my house for breakfast. I'll have to help grandma prepare it" I smile a defensive smile at him.

"Sure." He says as he puts his arm around my shoulder which surprised me. I look at him to see he was smiling softly. Hmmm what's wrong with him? I just smiled as we continued to walk. Khunn Kinn keeps on staring at me. Shia, is he trying to scare me? It's working.
