IMMORTALLY PROBLEMATIC

Chapter 41:My Game

Prapai was fighting for his life. He had to behave when creepy men walked up to Sky in the hope of getting a deal from his company. It was not easy but he was going to get a reward at the end so it was fun. They had both gone on well for a while till the owner of Fragile came in. Fragile was one of the biggest companies in Thailand. They worked closely with Pai's company as a distributor so it was easier for them to be more seen by others. Fragile's CEO was quite handsome as he had a well sculpted face. He was buff and walked like a man in charge. He approached Prapai with his eyes looking around. When he sighted who he wanted he whispered to his secretary what he wanted, and off he went. In no due time, it was quite obvious who he wanted as Sky walked towards them. Pai's eyes were fixed and so was the CEO's. It was quite a formal greeting as they stood side by side. Prapai beside Sky and the CEO on the other side. They waited for pleasantries but the first thing the CEO said made them shocked " how much?” he asked. Pai and Sky looked at each other till Sky asked " For what?" To clarify both parties
"You."
"Me? I don't understand?
" How much will I give Mr Prapai here to release you to my company." Pai used all the bones in his body to calm himself down. He felt insulted. Even if it was not Sky, anybody for that matter would trigger him.
" Do you feel I don't take care of my staff well Mr Yinarat?" His voice was clearly enraged
" Of course not, I was just saying that a man like Sky would fit perfectly into my company, like a hand and a glove. He would be perfect for a managerial position. Prapai scoffed. " Can you pay him?"  Prapai asked scornfully.
" Of course I am, it would be an honour working with such a fine specimen of a man my work load would be..."
" You u can't have him." Prapai shut Yinarat down. It has just been one day and he had to fight for Sky twice already. It was obvious this person with him was worth keeping in his coffers. Sky could feel the contention. It was beginning to get uncomfortable. He wanted to step in but stopped. He saw value in himself. Something he had not felt in a long time. He felt wanted and important. Pai really was going to keep holding onto him. He smiled happily inside but maintained a stern face. He stood in-between both men and said " Gentleman... Gentlemen. It's not worth the hassle. I am staying in this company. My Yinarat you were here to have fun, not bicker over me. Please." He signalled for a waiter with a tray of wine. He passed a glass over to him and said " it's a fun day,business will be discussed in another." This caused both men to raise their glasses to each other and drank. Sky could not wait for this event to be over, even more so the argument between Yinarat and Pai. The event went on for hours before it was finally over. Sky was exhausted and kept his cool. He had a drink with almost everyone present it was obvious he was tipsy. He really didn't want this image as a man who could not hold his liquor, so he stuck close to Prapai. If anything was to lead him far away from Prapai, maybe greeting or such. He would greet the guest and return to Prapai's side which was his safest spot. Prapai didn't even say anything. Sky could no longer take it and gave Pai a nudge. Pai bent a bit to hear what he had to say, and with the softest whisper, Sky said " I can't take it anymore."  Prapai didn't need any sign to tell him what it meant, he just held onto Sky and excused himself, saying that they had some business to settle upstairs.
After they were done greeting everyone present, it was time to say their farewells. Prapai and Sky were both greeted and left. They went upstairs to a room they had booked prior to the event. Sky could barely walk and leaned his whole body weight on Prapai who was not complaining one bit. On arriving, immediately Pai opened the door and shut it behind them. He lifted Sky off the floor and placed him down on the bed. He had no intention of leaving. As he let Sky lay on his lap. It was truly an exhausting day for both parties but it was finally over. Pai  wanted to heal Sky's hangover, but Sky asked him not to saying
" If you heal every stupid thing that happens to me, when it's time to heal the important one, you might not be able to." This got Pai smiling. He bent and gave Sky a peck on the forehead. It was more than enough to get Sky smiling
He gently closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Payu and Rain had complete different issues to settle. Payu's company was in charge of the food and drinks at the event and they truly delivered. Everything went according to plan to the last detail. The event was also a success because of them. But a few eyes were stuck on Rain although the event. Men offering to buy him drinks, ladies offering him favours. Payu saw it all but knew how important this event was to Sky and Prapai so he didn't bother reacting. Rain had to give off his formal laugh to please everyone. Sometimes he would meet with Sky and they both laughed over everything. Payu was not amused one bit and it was clear as he grimaced. Sky had to tell Payu that it was nothing so he wouldn't feel too hurt by it. When the event ended, Payu was still upset. When they got home, Rain said a few things that pacified Payu. It was just a party after all. But Payu didn't see it that way and started pointing out the flaws of the event asking Rain why he didn't reply angrily to their advances and make his stance clear. This was when Rain replied
" It's just them making passes, it's no big deal, I said no."
" But saying no to Sky wasn't."  The room fell silent. Payu didn't mean what he said in anyway and wanted to clarify but Rain picked it up and said " fine, I better go to him then, because clearly he'll be the more mature one." As he stormed off. Payu ran to him holding his hand and said " I'm sorry. it's not what you think. I meant that..."
" Leave me alone Khun Payu."
Payu let go of his hand. There was only one time Rain called Payu Khun and he knew it was never a good thing.

" I never lose. Whatever I want, you know I get it." Yinarat told his assistant as they got into the car. The assistant bowed his head. He knew exactly what his boss wanted.
