Zee's POV.

I was walking back to the office after lunch when I saw Nat.

"Nat .." I said making him turn.

"Aow Zee , there you are , I was looking for you .." he said.

"Is there something wrong ?" I asked as he sigh.

"Well there's something I'd like to talk to you about .." he said. We both then agreed to talk at the staff lounge. I sat on the sofa as he sat beside me.

"So what's up ?" I asked.

"Well , It's about P'Max .." he said making me frown.

"Max ?" I asked and he nod.

"I heard that you and Nhu went to pick him up from the bar .." he said and I nod.

"Did Max say anything to you ?" He asked and I frown.

"Well he only kept repeating the same thing , he kept talking about someone and then .. it seems like that someone rejected him ?" I said and soon Nat sigh , hiding his face in his palms making me frown.

"Nat , are you okay ?" I asked placing my hand on his back. He then look at me , sighing.

"I was the person who rejected him last night." He confessed making my eyes widened.

"Wait wait wait .. what ? Max .. likes you ?" I asked , confused.

"Ever since I send Max home the night he got drunk ....we have been seeing each other a lot nowadays .. and yesterday , he asked me for dinner and that's when he told me he likes me .." he said and I nod.

"But I rejected him because .. it's against the rules to fall in love with anyone in the company .." he said as he sigh.

"But .. I really like Max ..." he said.

"Then why don't you tell him the truth .." I asked as he look at me.

"I can't .. he probably hates me , I tried calling him , texting him , talking to him face to face but he is ignoring me ..." He said as I sigh , trying to come up with an idea.

"Then .. why don't I help you talk to Max .. maybe when I talk to him .. he'll understand .." I said as he gasp , holding my hand.

"You would do that for me ?" He asked and I nod.

"Thank you Zee !" He said making me chuckle.

"No problem .." I said , smiling.

"Oh one more thing , promise me that Nhu won't know about this .. I can't let Nhu know about this yet .." he said and I nod.

Nunew's POV.

I walked into the office after meeting Khun Yãy.

"I can't believe this .." I frown seeing Prem and Max plus a few other people standing around the table.

"Do you really think Zee and Khun Nat are having an affair ?" I stopped my tracks , hiding behind the wall.

"Didn't you see this video ? They were holding hands .. and both of them had smiles on their faces .." said Jane.

"If Khun Nu finds out about this , both of them are deadmeat." Said Mhee as I fold my arms.

"Stop , Zee is a good person. He isn't like this." Said Prem and soon Max slammed his hand on the table , storming off. I quickly moved back so that I wouldn't be seen.

"Aow what's wrong with him ?" Asked Mhee.

"But poor Khun Nu , his own secretary is havin an affair with his employee .." said Jane as I bite my inner cheek , walking off.

Zee's POV.

I walked back to the office and soon saw Khun Nu , walking towards me.

"Khun Nu." I said as he then grabbed my arm , dragging me outside. He then let go of my arm , sighing in frustration as he fold his arm.

"Is everything okay , Khun Nu ?" I asked.

"I was in the office and you weren't there. Where were you ?" He asked.

"I went to the toilet .." I said as he chuckled in disbelief.

"Really , toilet ?" He asked.

"I overheard the employees' conversation just now that you were with Nat." He said coldly making me frown.

"It seemed like you were holding hands with him." He said.

"Khun Nu , listen to me first .." I said.

"Don't want to." He said.

"How could you ? Huh ? You know Nat is my best friend and now you're seeing him secretly ?!" He asked.

"I am not seeing Nat .." I said.

"Liar." He fought back.

"You're misunderstanding me." I said as he chuckled in disbelief.

"Then what's the correct understanding huh ?" He asked as I kept quiet , breathing hard , knowing I promised Nat that Khun Nu won't know about this.

"You met each other where nobody could see you both." He said as I sigh.

"Nothing is going on between me and Nat." I said as he look at me.

"You have to trust me .." I said , holding his hand. He then looked down , sighing as he looked at me.

"Whatever. Be with Nat. You're not even mine." He said before pushing my hand away.

"Khun Nu .." I said as he stormed away. I sigh , running my fingers through my hair.

- later -

I couldn't focus on my work at all the whole day. So many things happened today. All of a sudden , Max disappeared from the office and Khun Nu has been ignoring me the whole day. After work , I decided to take a time alone and walk around the mall next to my office.

"I don't know what to do , Janis." I said to Janis who was on the phone with me.

"Zee !" I turned seeing Nat , approaching me.

"I'll call you back .." I said to Janis as I hung up.

"Zee , I am so sorry about what happened in the office , I didn't know that such rumors was made all of a sudden !" He said.

"It's okay , it's not your fault .." I said.

"It is .. Max came to me and he thought I was in a relationship with you .. but before I could say anything , he storm off .." he said and I sigh.

"I don't know what to do anymore .." he said.

"Look , we'll think of something .. but for now you really need to tell Max how you feel .." I said.

"If not he'll misunderstand even more." I said.

"But how ? He is mad at me !" He exclaimed.

"Don't you like him ? You have to him the truth .." I said.

"That I like him ? Are you crazy ? What about Nhu ?!" He asked.

"If you really like Max , you shouldn't be scared of Khun Nu .. he is your best friend remember ? I think he'll understand .. but now what's more important is your feelings towards Max .." I said making him sigh.

"Okay fine .." he said and I smile.

"You're a great friend, Zee .. no wonder people like you even I like you .." he said , holding my hand as I smile.

"Like ?!" We both turned seeing Max and Khun Nu. My eyes widened as Nat quickly let go of my hand.
