The Nanny Affairs

XVIII

The next morning a commotion in the kitchen jolts gulf awake. He sneak out of bed to check on the noise, hiding just around the corner.
"Come on Sofia. Don't you think you've been a little irrational here?"
"No, I can't he completely humiliated my father in front of everyone! Even some of the staff hear him."
"But, he was defending you."
" I don't care. There's a way to handle that sort of situation and that wasn't it. I want him fired immediately!"  Gulf  did not interfere between as he walke  away in the room. After an hour of thinking he came into the kitchen and try to keep a low profile as he slink through the penthouse, hoping to prepare a cold breakfast for the boys and get out before mew notice him. But as he walk in to find mew quietly sipping coffee at the kitchen counter.
"Mew I didn't expect you to be up so early?"
" I've been meaning to talk to you. You can be difficult person to find. When you want to be."
"Beautiful morning we're having isn't it? It's a great day to be gainfully employed."
"I suppose it is . Are you feeling alright?"
"I'm just so relieved I have a mature boss who doesn't fire people on a whim.." mew reaches out to touch gulf arm. "I'm not going to fire you,Gulf."
"But sofia--"
"Sofia doesn't get to say in this. Yes, she was upset about what happened at the club, but I wouldn't fire someone just to soothe her ego. Especially when everything you said to Paolo was spot on."
"Good, 'cause I'm not going to stop speaking up my mind'."
"I wouldn't want you to. Beside if I find everyone who voiced their opinion, I'd be an army of one. The wall need more thinkers like you." Mew tilts his head to the side with a sparkle in his eyes.
"Actually that's what I wanted to talk to you about this morning...your future. I thought maybe you could come to the office with me today. Carter can watch the boys and I know you have ambitions outside of being a nanny. This is your chance to see a Fortune 500 company up-close and personal."
"Suppasit Enterprises is little out of my league, don't you think?"
"Nonsense. I've seen your credentials. I almost handed your resume over to HR instead of hiring you personally."
"Really? I would've loved working under you. In any Position."
"I don't doubt it. You're very capable."
"Thank you, mew or should I call you 'Mr. Suppasit 'again today?"
"'mew' is fine. Now, do you wanna tell the boys, or should I?" Mew tells the boys and they both arrived at the Suppasits Enterprises. All employees head turns towards both of them as gulf walk with mew.
"Good morning. Mr. Suppasit. I made a submission to the patent folder whenever you have a moment to review."
"Excellent, Tawan have you met Gulf Kanawat?"
"Haven't had the pleasure. Are you new here?"
"Oh no I--"
"Maybe someday, if we're lucky. He just master's in chemistry and shows a lot of promise."
Receptionist: "Mr. Suppasit, call for you on line one."
"Be right there." Mew nods at gulf before leaving him and Tawan to talk.
"So a chemist! Are you looking to invent or explore?"
"I see myself exploring through studies. I want to do groundbreaking research that changes the world."
"Oh, yeah? In what area?"
"I find the molecular biome fascinating, particularly as it relates to the immune system. Through careful testing we could determine what best practices create the strongest defence."
"Like probiotic! I'm always sipping on my kambucha for that exact reason."
"Excatly. Those were discovered like a hundred years ago and only became popular recently. There's still lots of room for more discovery."
"Spoken like a future boss."
"Should I worry about my job?"Mew smirks as he rejoin the group.
"No, I'd keep you around to smooth the transition of power." Tawan chuckles before looking down at his watch.
"Oh I'd better run if I don't want to be late for meeting. It was nice meeting you, Gulf." Gulf waves as Tawan leaves, the he follow mew to his private elevator. The doors are about to close when someone slips their hand in to stop them.
"Mew, we need you. There's problem with the office in Pattaya. Hey, Gulf Fancy seeing you here."
"Hey, Tew what'd you do now?"
"I never said it was my fault."
"Strategic guess."
"Damm. I can't reach pattaya nose Tew arrange video call metting with pattaya office and Gulf, I don't want to just abandon you here, but these meetings can go on and on...."
"I can take him and skip the meeting altogether. It'll be lunch before you're done anyway."
"I like that idea even less."
"Can't I sit in? That's why you brought me today, right? To see you in action?"
".... that's true, Alright follow me." Gulf fall into step behind mew but hesitate when he notice Tew giving him an inscrutable look. Mew walks to front of the conference room as Tew pulls gulf up the video call with the Pattaya office team. Gulf slip into the back of the room and try to stay as far out of the way as possible. After a brief delay, a man pops up onto the big screen in the room.
"We've had a security breach. Several files were. Lifted onto a jump drive. We think it was a former employee. The suspect was last seen in Lab c." The executive around gulf start to murmurs at the news.
"Our customer DNA profile in the database. If the data gets out, it'll be the most catastrophic violation of privacy in our company. What about the millions of costumer who trusted us?" Mew close his eyes and takes a deep breath. Gulf glance over at Tew.
"Is this really as bad as it seems?"
"Worse probably."
"Luca, how did a employee even have access to those files?"
"That was my fault. Mr. Suppasit. I lost my temper and gave him immediate notice, instead of following our usual protocol. I'm sorry --" mew holds up his hand and Luca stop talking."seal of all the buildings and tell security to do a thorough search, building by building. Then, alert the police and call me as soon as it's done. Your job is on line here, Luca." Mew disconnect the call, then turns to the rest of us.
"Fiana follow up with the Pattaya office in an hour. David, I'm going to need projections on the impact of the breach."
"You've got it boss."
"Tew, write up a press releases."
"It's one of my talent." Mew mobile starts to buzz, and he sigh. "It's my father I have to take this." Mew steps outside to take the call and the other executives trun to gulf. The woman waves him closer.
"What are you doing way back there? Come join us. Nice to meet you I'm Fiana."
"Gulf kanawat."
"So you got the job, Gulf"(David was at gulf interview for nanny)
"I did get this job. Thanks to you."
"It's my pleasure." David open his mouth to say more but before he can say anything the receptionist interrupts.
"Mr. Kanawat, Mr. Suppasit requested that you meet him in his office. I can take you there now."
"No need. I remember how to get there, thank you." Gulf say goodbye to the others than make his way up to Mew's office. He knock on the door, then peek his head inside. Mew is still on the phone, but waves him in. Mew rolls his eyes as gulf slip into one of the seat. He take the opportunity to let gaze rove over Mew, drinking him in. When he finally reach mew face, he surprised to see Mew blazing eyes looking right at him. Mew hangs up the phone and turns towards gulf.
"Sorry about all the excitement. This wasn't excatly what I in mind when I invited you to office."
"No need to apologize. Beside it's been kind of.... thrilling to see you in action. I like the way you takes charge." Mew's eyes flash, and it's all gulf can do to hold his gaze.
"Good to know...." Mew clears his throat."it's seems you're quite the popular around the office already."
"I am?"
"Everyone is so curious about you....I blame Grant. And because of this 'stuff' I haven't been able to give you a proper tour. But I booked the labs for this afternoon to make sure we have time all to ourselves."
"Really? That's amazing!"
"Although..."
"What?"
"I'm an impatient man, Gulf. I'm not sure I can wait that long to get you alone."
"What did you have in mind?"
"We could have lunch together away from the prying eyes of my employee. Honestly, after the morning I've had, I could use the break from the office. What do you say?"
"Let's go."
"Great. Let me send a quick text and we can head up there."
