Chapter 13

Dozens of documents lined up on the young President's large desk are observed and analyzed by his dark eyes, examining every detail, from the first to the last line.

Falsification of documents? 

KNOCK KNOCK!

A loud knock on the door brings to consciousness the reverie of the President's thoughts. Suriyen immediately rushes to collect that very important piece of evidence, tidy it up and put it in the drawer behind the desk, before giving permission to enter the person waiting outside.

Before long, the large solid wooden door slowly opens, before the imposing figure of the company's Vice President, his younger brother, young Tinnakorn, enters.

"You respect me a lot, don't you? That's why you called me to the company." He says teasingly and smiling widely, before striding to sit in the chair in front of the young President's desk.

"Are you free next week?" Suriyen asks.

Tinnakorn doesn't immediately answer the question, but takes his cell phone out of his trouser pocket.

"Next week? Um... I have a business meeting with one of the merchants on Wednesday, then I have a meeting with the Diamond Merchants Association for lunch on Saturday." His long fingers slide across the phone screen, answering his older brother's questions.

"Are you going alone for dinner on Saturday?"

"Wow, what's going on, Sun? I plan to go negotiate some business and try to meet Than Mekha's daughter, I heard she just returned from Japan last month."

"Little Sora?" Suriyen smiles.

"Why are you smiling, Sun? I'm going to flirt with Nong to get her to work with us. Than Mekha once hinted that she wanted her daughter to try abroad to gain experience, before returning to help with the family's business. Besides, gem experts aren't that easy to find, are they?"

"Oh," he murmurs to tease his younger brother.

Suriyen doesn't know that his own younger brother has been secretly in love with a half-Thai, half Japanese girl since middle school. But when he has the chance to flirt with her, he doesn't dare because the girl always follows his older brother.

"In conclusion..." Tinnakorn raises his eyebrows.

"I'll go eat in your place. As for you, go back and pack your bags and get ready to fly to Belgium next Monday."

"I'm completely confused, Sun. Is there something I should know, or not?" Tinnakorn scratches his head with dark eyebrows furrowing, very perplexed by his older brother's words.

"Someone is cheating us in the company."

He read the information sent by the laboratory informing him that the latest gems purchased were not of high quality according to the company's standards, yet the purchasing department documents said otherwise. Therefore, he had to confirm that the documents in the archive did not match any of the documents he had signed to approve those purchases.

"Who would dare to do such a foolish thing? How is it possible! As!" Tinnakorn shouts in annoyance.

Suriyen rocks his chair back, opens the drawer behind him and hands the previously scanned documents to his younger brother.

"The receipts sent by the diamond manufacturer to the Soul Jewelry Company, those jewels are worth much less than what the purchasing department offered, they even showed almost double their original price for approval. But the production department has a production capacity equal to the customer's order, and some of the diamonds were purchased elsewhere. I'm right?" Tinnakorn says, once again scanning the documents in his hand.
