Naked Minds: Reading your mind like an open book

<< OFF >>

"Kun Jumpol, Welcome home." Mild, my secretary greeted.

"Thanks. Are the arrangements made?" I asked not bothering about the fallen jaws of everyone around us.

"Kap." she said.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go ahead." I started to direct Gun away from the crowd.

"A moment, Kun. There's someone I want you to meet." she said, stopping me in my tracks. She turned to the director, who was a couple of steps away.

"Aw... Aren't you Off, the newbie actor?" The director acted chummy already with me.

Still, I was at this place and I was expected to act in a certain way.

Mild cleared her throat and formally introduced me, "Director, while he is also an actor, he is Kun Jumpol, the owner of this property."

"You, traitor! Why didn't you tell me about that?!" Gun, who has recently calmed down was already kicking me in his mind.

"It's nice to formally meet you, Kun Off. On behalf of the production, I'd like to thank you for allowing us to use your place." The director said taking the hint.

"It's a pleasure. Oh, Director, does Nong Atthaphan have any more scenes for the day?" I asked.

"No, Kun. He's done for the day."

"That's good to know. I won't be taking much of your time. We'll go ahead." I turned to Mild, "And Mild, do as instructed."

Without another word, I led Gun to the main house. As soon as we disappeared into the kitchen, I carried him straight to the main house.

"Where are you taking me, P?" He scolded me.

"Just stay put. My bedrooom's on the end of the hallway." I said under my breath.

After a few quick strides, we were in my room. I gently placed him on the bed before removing my coat. It has been a long day for me. I was just planning to take a quick shower and watch Gun with his shoot but Mild had other things in mind. There was already a stack of paperworks I had to review. I normally help with the family business but as there were some crucial issues that needed my attention,  she had me work on it. After doing all the paperworks, I did a quick shower only to find Gun already in tears while on set. I wanted to pull him out right then and there but I didn't want his efforts wasted.

"Give me a 15minute nap.There would be maids dropping by to leave some stuff. Don't worry about them. They'll just come and go. You can also ask anything from them." I said lying on the other side of the bed. "Don't kick me yet. You're still injured. Please keep the sermon when I wake up."

And in no time, I was already nodding in my sleep.

<<  GUN >>

I was amazed at how quickly P'Off fell asleep. True to his word, different people entered and left. They brought in  a new set of crutches, some food, drinks, and some documents. Despite everything going on, P'Off slept through the whole ordeal.

"Kun Gun, I hope you enjoy your lunch. If you need anything else please call us." the last person said before leaving.

I ate quite a heavy lunch to replenish my energy. Crying really does make me hungry. The food also looked very appetizing as it looked like they were made by a Michelin chef. As soon as I finished, 4 maids entered to take out the food and used dinnerware as they brought in a wide selection of desserts.

After eating some, it was enough to make me extremely sleepy. I then crawled on the bed for an afternoon nap. One can get used to this kind of lifestyle.
