Niti & Case - 8

Niti took about half an hour to complete his work. He arranged everything in a file, before walking to find Case asleep on the sofa.

“Naughty kid... wake up," Niti shook his causing Case to open his eyes and sit up drowsily.

“Have you finished your work?" Case asked quietly.

"Um, you slept for only a little while, why is your hair so messed up?" Niti said, before extending his arm and fixing Case's hair straight which instantly lit up Case. His face flushed hot as he looked at Niti in confusion. Why was Niti acting so kind to him, all of a sudden?

"Get up already. Haven't you made an appointment with your friends?"  Niti said again. Case hurriedly jumped to his feet and then followed Niti out of the office. Niti walked over to the outside team's desk and placed a file.

“This file is all signed by me. If you have something to deal with, or if there's anything urgent, you can call me," Niti instructed his team. As for Case, he stood a little away to wait for Niti. When Niti finished talking about work, he walked over and gently grabbed Case's arm to lead him towards the elevator.

"Do you want to go straight to your friends?" Niti asked in a normal tone.

"That..." Case stuttered. Niti nodded without saying anything until they got into his car. Niti then took Case to meet his friends at the mall.

“Is Phi really going to join us for lunch?” Case asked, just to be sure.

"Hmm," Niti answered softly in his throat while looking for a parking space in one of the famous malls in Bangkok

"What do you want to eat?" Niti asked after getting out of the car as they were about to enter the mall. Case had called his friend and found out that they were waiting at the bookstore.

"I don't know yet, I need to talk to my friends first. Are you going to eat something separately?" Case asked because it seemed very strange to him that Niti was going to join him and his friends for lunch. Moreover, he was worried about how he was going to introduce him to his friends.

"Can't I eat with you? Why are you trying to chase me away?" Niti asked in a calm voice. Case bit his lip knowing well that he couldn't force and win with Niti because Niti had everything in his control which he didn't like too much but at the moment he had no other choice than to obey him.

"I'm not chasing you, I'm worried if you don't find the food we ordered to your liking, you might complain," Case said trying to sound casual.

“I'm not a picky eater," Niti replied.
Case could only sigh lightly before walking to meet his friends at the meeting point. Soon they arrived at the bookstore. Case went looking for his friends and soon found them picking up books.

“Huh, Ai’Harn didn't come with you?” a friend of Case asked when Case poked him in the back.

“He had to go back to training. How long have you been waiting?" Case asked.

“Not for long, but..." another young man replied, looking at Niti who was standing behind Case. Case turned to look at Niti slightly before turning to his friends.

“Here... Well, this is P'Niti, he's the architect of the project I'm working on," Case introduced casually not going into much detail. Niti then sent a smile to the two men. Case's friends also raised their hands to greet Niti.

“Phi Niti, these are Peck and Dean, my friends," Case had to introduce his friends to Niti, as well.
