A few days later, Ford sent a message to Nattawat, providing basic information about his upcoming blind date. The mere prospect of once again having to dissuade some affluent suitor weighed heavily on him, eliciting a weary sigh. It wasn't that the task itself posed any great challenge. After all, he had grown accustomed to employing various creative tactics in such situations. Whether feigning possession during one date, breaking out in a rash during another, or even causing a scene in a restaurant over the color of his plate on yet another occasion, he had honed the art of deception to a fine point. It was this very ingenuity that had propelled him to the forefront of the design world in remarkably little time.

"This guy is supposedly the richest than anyone else, so it should be easy for you to drive him away. At 7 p.m. you will meet at "Charlotte". Fingers crossed, man!"

To avoid any potential gossip, Fourth took extra care in his appearance for these dates, opting for more provocative attire and applying a generous amount of makeup to his face. He even styled his hair in a unique manner, striving to appear as different from his usual self as possible. The last thing he wanted was for anyone he knew to recognize him and potentially spread rumors about his personal life at work.

He dedicated several hours to meticulously crafting his image, working diligently to conceal his natural attributes—such as his sweet facial features, bright eyes, and slender lips. Thanks to his acquired skills, undergoing minor cosmetic alterations was a routine affair for him.

At the encouragement of his grandfather, Gemini reluctantly agreed to embark on a series of arranged dates. Mr. Night, pleased with this decision, wasted no time in orchestrating a string of encounters with potential suitors. With meticulous care, he handpicked the most eligible singles from within their industry, all in the hopes of expediting his grandson's quest for love.

Resigned to his grandfather's wishes, the man found himself thrust into a whirlwind of unexpected rendezvous. Each meeting had been meticulously arranged by Mr. Night, with every suitor personally vetted by the discerning elder to ensure their compatibility with Norawit's unique qualities and aspirations.

During one of these arranged encounters, Gemini crossed paths with Sing, a man whose profound love for art and travel immediately caught his attention. Despite their shared interests, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing. The connection just wasn't there.

On the next date, he found himself in the company of New, a dynamic and ambitious individual who shared Titicharoenrak's passion for business. Yet, once again, he couldn't help but feel a sense of disconnection. No matter how hard he tried to open up, he found himself fixating on minor flaws or quirks that grated on his nerves.

Despite his grandfather's best intentions and the seemingly endless array of potential suitors, Gemini couldn't shake the feeling of dissatisfaction. Deep down, he longed for a connection that went beyond shared interests or surface-level compatibility. He yearned for something deeper, something that resonated with his soul on a profound level.

With every passing date, Norawit grew increasingly weary. Whether it was Sing's fervent enthusiasm for art or New's relentless pursuit of business success, each encounter felt like a repetition of the last. Despite their individual differences, the men he met seemed to blur together in a sea of similarity and monotony.

Conversations became predictable, revolving around the same tired topics of shared interests and superficial pursuits. Gemini longed for something more, something beyond the confines of mundane small talk and superficial connections. Each date felt like a rehashing of the one before it, leaving him feeling disheartened and disillusioned with the entire dating process.
