Marriage Contract

[16]

"Tomorrow morning, at nine, you have a meeting with a newly founded
company in the city. Following that, at three in the afternoon, you also have a
face to face consultation with President Zong from the "Golden Age" online
gaming company."

Inside the office, Tod went over the itinerary for the next day with Arthit, who nodded approvingly when he was done, "Go make the necessary preparations."

"I will." Tod nodded before he began to take his leave to prepare, however, Arthit  suddenly called out to stop him, "Hold on."

"Is there something else you'd like to add, Boss?" Tod questioned.

"l just remembered that your sister is a doctor, isn't she?" Arthit asked.

"Ah, yes, she is. My family operates a Traditional Medicine practice." Tod replied.

Thinking it over for a while, Arthit  then asked, "Can you do me favour,
and help me ask your sister how to take care of someone who had a stomach
bug. I'd also like to know, what are some of the things to pay attention to for
someone who experiences joint pains during the winter."

"Is it about Grand pa? Do you want me to ask my sister to make some time,
and pay Grand pa a visit?" Tod asked somewhat doubtfully. He had the
details of Grand pa's health conditions memorised quite well, and to his
knowledge, the older man did not suffer from such ailments.

"No, it's not him. It's your Boss's wife."
Arthit stated.

Boss's wife..

Tod was left at a blank. Arthit, in response, added that it was the young man to whom he had delivered lunch to previously.

"I'll help you ask right away, then. Is there anything else you'd like me to ask
about?" Tod took out his phone.

"No, just those two things... to find out what I should watch out for in his diet,
and to..." Suddenly pausing, Arthit  thought he might as well ask in
detail for himself, "Nevermind that, I'll ask the questions myself, so just help
me contact her."

"Yes, Boss" Tod immediately called his older sister, explaining the reason for his call before handing to phone over to Arthit.

Arthit described Kongpob's condition to the person on the other line for a while, then listened when the other gave their recommendations, fastidiously taking notes. He then, very carefully, explained a few of kongpob's habits and favourite foods, to guarantee he received the best
solutions.

Looking on from beside him, Tod exclaimed internally: Boss, don't be
so meek! This in no way resembles your usual aloof demeanor! Right now, you're practically a proper man of 'Twenty-four Pillars of Filial Piety'! The difference is so huge, it's bordering on territying!

[T/n : lit. Twenty-four Pillars of Filial Piety. It's a term of the used as a description for exemplary person.]

After thoroughly understanding the advice given during the consultation,
Arthit  gave back Tod his phone, picked up his own jacket then said, "I had your sister help me prepare some ingredients for medicinal cuisine. She told me she'd bring them back with her to your family's home tonight, so tommorow you'll pick them up and bring them over to me."

"No problem!" Tod nodded, as Boss elaborated on what the items were.

"Your bonus this month will be doubled." Arthit stated before leaving
the office.

"!!!" Tod's eyes shone in an instant, A doubled bonus! Oh my god! It's
like he practically won the lottery!

Thank you Mrs. Boss!!
