As Win left the office, Book turned his gaze towards Bright, his expression thoughtful and contemplative. Bright noticed the scrutiny and furrowed his brow in confusion."What's wrong, Book?" Bright asked, sensing his friend's scrutiny.

Book hesitated for a moment before speaking, his tone measured. "I couldn't help but notice how quickly you managed to tidy up the office before Win arrived," he remarked, his eyes searching Bright's face for a reaction.

Bright's expression faltered slightly, caught off guard by Book's observation. "Oh, that," he replied, trying to brush off the topic. "I just wanted to make a good impression since someone was coming into the office."

Book raised an eyebrow, his skepticism evident in his expression. "Really, Bright? Is that the best excuse you can come up with?" he retorted, his tone laced with sarcasm. "Seems to me like you're just being lazy and neglecting your responsibilities."

Bright shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his gaze flickering away from Book's penetrating stare. "Let's not dwell on that," he deflected, eager to change the subject. "What did you think of Win? Do you think he's a good fit for the position?"

Book's expression softened slightly as Bright shifted the conversation. "I think Win is a solid candidate," he replied, his tone more measured. "He seems organized, professional, and capable of handling the demands of the job."

Despite his reservations about Bright's excuses, Book couldn't deny that Win had made a positive impression during the interview. As they finished their discussion about the candidate.

Book stood up from his seat, a sense of determination guiding his movements. "I'll go speak to HR and get Win's contract prepared," he announced to Bright, his voice tinged with resolve.

Bright nodded in agreement, grateful for Book's proactive approach. "Thanks, Book. Let me know if you need anything from me," he replied, his tone appreciative.

As Book made his way to the HR department, he quickly briefed them on the situation and requested that they prepare Win's contract without delay. With efficiency and precision, the HR team sprang into action, ensuring that everything would be ready for Win's arrival.

Once the paperwork was in motion, Book stepped aside to make a call to Win, eager to deliver the good news personally.

"Hello, Win? It's Book," he said, his voice warm and welcoming. "I'm pleased to inform you that we've decided to offer you the position of secretary in Mr Vachirawit's office. Congratulations!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line before Win's voice filled the air, tinged with excitement and gratitude. "Thank you so much, Book! I'm honoured and thrilled to accept the offer. I can't wait to start."

Book smiled, pleased by Win's enthusiasm. "We're looking forward to having you on board, Win. I'll email you the details of your contract shortly. Welcome to the team!"

As he hung up the phone, Book felt a sense of satisfaction wash over him. With Win's recruitment finalized, he knew that Bright's office would soon be running smoothly and efficiently, ready to tackle whatever challenges lay ahead.
