Rapee & Rattikal (Love Syndrome)

CHAPTER - 2 (50%)

After waking up in the morning Rapee went down to have breakfast with everyone. At first, he intended to escape and return to his penthouse, but his mother blocked the way, accompanying him to his room.

"You don't have work today. Pee stays here for lunch with his mother first," said Rapee's mother. But he knew very well why his mother wanted him to stay.

"I have to check the availability of hotels in Chonburi, because it's opening in two weeks," Rapee replied.

“But mother arranged a meeting with Khun Ying Kanlaya,” said his mother immediately.

“Only with Khun Ying Kanlaya?” Rapee asked softly. His mother grunted a little.

"Also with Nong Kat, Khun Ying's daughter. She just graduated abroad. So mom wants you to stay and talk to Nong, so the youngest can work as Pee's secretary," said Rapee's mother, which made Rapee's face darken a little.

"I already have a secretary," Rapee interrupted.

"Then you can work as Pee's assistant secretary so Nong can learn the trade." her mother still insisted that Rapee take the young woman to work with him.

"If she really wants to learn the job, let her apply to the company alone, but getting any position depends on her skill. I don't think about using connections for anyone to work at the company. My company is not a playground, where anyone who wants can come and play at any time and leave at any time. I hope mom understands." Rapee said directly. He still loved and respected his mother the same way, but he is not the type to allow his mother everything, especially personal matters.

Since he was born, he has always carried his family's expectations. Willing to study and take over the real estate company created by his grandfather. Therefore, he wanted to make his own personal decisions.

"But mother gave her word that she would help with this matter," said his mother in an irritated voice, because her eldest son refused to give in.

"Just like I said. I probably can't help mom," Rapee answered honestly.

"P'Pee, will you come back now? Please be my friend." Phontawan's voice sounded, as he entered and separated his brother and mother who were standing talking in front of Rapee's room.

"Where are you going?" Rapee asked, knowing that his younger brother had heard what his mother had said. So he came to help him like he always does.

"I'm going to look at the wines I want to order for the restaurant. I see you like drinking. So, I'd like to invite you to help me choose. Are you free?" Phontawan asked back. Rapee turned to look at his mother's face, standing in front of him.

“Did I interrupt something?” Phontawan pretended to ask.

"No. Mom, I want to be friends with Phon, then I'm going to Chonburi right away," Rapee said.

In fact, his trip to Chonburi was scheduled for the next three days, but he chose to go first because that way he won't have to meet the woman his mother recruited for him to meet. Rapee's mother made a small noise in her throat and looked at her eldest son.

"Go, you can be his friend. I hope you don't avoid that again next time," Rapee's mother interrupted. He could only nod before his mother left.

"Thank you," Rapee said to his younger brother.

"There must be compensation, P'Pee," Phon said with a smile.

"What do you want?" asked Rapee in a calm voice.

"I'll tell you later when I think about it," Phon replied.

"So, are you really going to watch the wine?", asked Rapee, not knowing if his younger brother was just looking for an excuse to help him or if he was actually inviting him to go with him.
