Morning arrived with a burst of sunlight that streamed through the window, hitting Pond's face with a strong, warm glow. The air was filled with a fresh, clean scent, almost as if someone had sprayed perfume in the room. As Pond slowly opened his eyes, he noticed the familiar sight of a tidy room—no papers scattered around, no laptop left open, and, most importantly, no sign of Phuwin. He had half-expected Phuwin to be there, still working or maybe just resting nearby. But as the door creaked open, it wasn't Phuwin who entered—it was Pond's mom.

Pond (slightly surprised):
Mom, you're here.

Mom (with a gentle smile):
Yes, son. I told you I'd be here. You look better than before. Looks like Phuwin took good care of you.

Pond (suddenly guarded):
Where... whatever.

Mom (noticing his hesitation):
Ask away, son. What's on your mind?

Pond wasn't expecting to miss Phuwin this much. He hadn't realized how much Phuwin's presence affected him. Even though he still doubted that this man was really Phuwin, he found himself waiting for him to walk through the door all morning.

Mom (with a knowing look):
Pond, why do you keep glancing at the door? Are you expecting someone?

Pond (quickly):
Phuwin.

Mom (surprised):
Oh, really?

Pond (flustered):
No, I mean... no, I'm not.

Mom (with a sigh):
He won't be back until tonight. He has work at Naravit Company. He's so busy, but somehow, he still finds time to take care of you behind my back. I hope he's holding up well.

Pond (muttering):
Whatever. And Naravit Company? What's that? Why is it my last name? Is he crazy or just obsessed with me?

Mom (gently):
Pond, he is Phuwin. You should trust your mother's word. Why are you being so stubborn?

Meanwhile, at the Naravit Company...

Phuwin was working tirelessly, barely taking a moment to rest. Despite his exhaustion, he pushed on, managing the day's tasks.

Phuwin (firmly):
Give them the samples of the new range, and bring me the new ones to test.

Manager:
Sir, we have two meetings in the next four hours.

Phuwin:
Manage them for me. I'll sit in on the meetings.

Manager:
Also, sir, you need to go through the packaging details with the advertising management this afternoon.

Phuwin:
I'll keep you updated online. We can have an online meeting. I need to go see Pond.

Manager:
As you wish, sir.

Phuwin:
Anything else?

Manager:
Just these two files for your signature, and that's it.

Phuwin (exasperated):
Why are you following me around? Put them in my office—I'll be there in a minute.

As Phuwin headed toward his office, he called out to a colleague.

Phuwin:
Tay, you got the samples?

Tay (smiling):
Please, leave it to me, boss.

Phuwin:
I'm counting on you, Tay.

After wrapping up the last of his tasks, Phuwin signed off on documents, led a presentation, and finalized a contract in a crucial meeting. Hours later, he called his driver and headed straight to see Pond.
