Earth Pirapat, the renowned hot-tempered lawyer and CEO of Pirapat & Associates, stormed into his office with a scowl etched deeply on his face. His usually immaculate suit was slightly rumpled, a testament to his agitated state of mind. He had just returned from an important meeting, only to find his assistant, Mix Sahaphap, in the midst of
yet another one of his clumsy mishaps.
Earth sighed deeply, pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration. This wasn't the first time Mix had caused chaos in the office, and Earth was starting to lose his patience.
Mix, oblivious to Earth's thunderous presence, was busy attempting to clean up the mess he had inadvertently created. Papers were strewn across the floor,coffee stains adorned the desk, and the once neatly organized fileswere now in disarray. Mix's expression was a mixture of embarrassmentand anxiety as he scrambled to salvage what was left of the chaos.
"Mix, what on earth are you doing ! And what's this?" Earth bellowed,gesturing towards a pile of crumpled documents on the floor. "These were supposed to be filed hours ago, do you have any idea how important they are?"!" Earth's voice boomed, Mix jumped at the sound of his boss's voice, sending the papers flying in all directions. He gulped nervously, knowing full well that he was about to face the brunt of Earth's fiery temper. Earth's piercing gaze bore into Mix's apologetic eyes, intensifying the younger man's unease.
"I-I'm sorry, Mr.Pirapat," Mix stammered, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment."I didn't mean to... I mean, it was an accide..."
But before Mix could finish his sentence, Earth cut him off with a sharp wave of his hand."Accident? This isn't the first time, Mix. It seems like everyday I come back to find another one of your clumsy mishaps waiting for me!"
"Do you have any idea how many times you've messed up this week alone?" Earth demanded, his voice dripping with irritation. "Let me remind you."
And so, Earth began to list Mix's recent mishaps, each one more exasperating than the last:
Monday: You spilled coffee all over important legal documents, ruining them beyond repair.
Tuesday: You accidentally deleted an entire folder from the company's server,causing hours of work to be lost.
Wednesday: You tripped over your own feet and knocked over a stack of client files,scattering them across the floor.
Thursday: You forgot to schedule an important meeting, causing a major client to cancel their contract with the firm.
Friday: You mistakenly sent a confidential email to the wrong recipient, jeopardizing a sensitive negotiation.
As Earth listed each blunder, Mix's face turned crimson with embarrassment. He knew he had been careless, but hearing it all laid out like this was mortifying.
"I-I'm so sorry,Mr. Pirapat," Mix stammered, his voice barely above a whisper."I'll try harder, I promise."
But Earth was in no mood for apologies. He had tolerated Mix's clumsiness for far too long, and it was starting to affect the firm's reputation. Earth's patience had reached its limit.
"I don't want promises, Mix. I want results. If you can't handle the responsibilities of this job,then perhaps it's time we found someone who can!"
The words hung in the air, heavy with implication. Mix's heart sank as he realized the gravity of Earth's threat. He knew he couldn't afford to lose this job, not when it meant everything to him.
"I'll do better, Mr. Pirapat," Mix vowed, his voice barely above a whisper. "I'll make sure nothing like this ever happens again."
Earth regarded Mix with a stern expression, his gaze softening slightly at the sincerity in Mix's eyes. Despite his hot temper, Earth couldn't deny that there was something endearing about Mix's earnestness.
"Fine," Earth relented, albeit begrudgingly. "But this is your final warning, Mix. One more slip-up, and you're out of here. Understand?"
Mix nodded, relief flooding through him at Earth's reluctant acceptance. "Yes, Mr.Pirapat. Thank you, I won't let you down."
With that, Earth turned on his heel and retreated to his office, leaving Mix to clean up the mess he had made. As Mix set about his task with renewed determination, he couldn't help but wonder how he had managed to land himself in such a precarious situation.
Little did he know, this would only be the beginning of a tumultuous journey filled with mishaps, misunderstandings, and perhaps, a hint of unexpected romance.
