Tharn shifted to lie down and think about his own matters with Ares for a while. He then fell asleep due to exhaustion, while Ares was in a meeting in his office with three of his friends

("Why do I feel like you're in a particularly good mood?") Roman's voice piped up after they finished discussing work.

"I just took in a baby bird to care for," Ares replied.

("What kind of bird? Can you eat it?") Ares's friend, Akira, asked.

"Sure," Ares answered with a slight grin.

("Really? Is it tasty? Share some with me!") Akira exclaimed. Ares frowned slightly.

"No," Ares replied immediately.

("You stingy bastard! I even shared some crocodile meat with you!") Akira protested.

("Hehe, I feel like the bird Ares is talking about is not the kind you think, Akira,") Ivan, another friend, said as he could guess something.

("Not the kind I'm thinking?") Akira repeated what Ivan had said, his eyes widening slightly.

("You mean a person? Just say that you got a person and stop calling it a bird. I thought it was some little bird!") Akira complained seriously. Ares sighed wearily, while Ivan and Roman could only look resigned, as this was a normal occurrence.

"Alright, enough. Now that the work discussion is over, let’s disperse. I need to get some rest," Ares said before his three friends bid farewell and concluded the meeting.

"Rafa," Ares called his close bodyguard.

"Yes," Rafa responded.

"Send someone to investigate something for me," Ares said before giving instructions to Rafa. Rafa acknowledged and walked out of Ares's office. Ares then sat down to prepare the contract for Tharn to sign. Once everything was ready, he went back up to his room. Upon opening the door, he saw Tharn sleeping. Ares had no intention of waking Tharn. He placed the contract on the table in the room and lay down beside Tharn immediately. Normally, Ares never took breaks like this; he only worked and rested for a few hours at night, sometimes not sleeping at all. But now that Tharn was here, Ares thought that taking a little rest with Tharn wouldn’t be a problem.

The two of them slept next to each other until around four in the afternoon. Tharn woke up first, sitting up groggily and looking around the room in a daze before remembering that he was in Ares's bedroom in the large mansion.

"Are you up for a Broadway show?" Ares's voice asked, causing Tharn to turn and see Ares looking at him.

"Sure," Tharn replied shortly. Even if he felt tired, he would drag himself along because he didn’t know when he would have another opportunity like this.

"Go take a shower first. I’ll take you out for dinner, and then we can go see the theatre," Ares said. Tharn didn’t say anything in response; he walked sleepily to the bathroom while Ares got up to give some orders. After Tharn finished showering and came out in a bathrobe, he found Ares waiting for him.

"Wear this; I had someone prepare it for you," Ares said, pointing to the clothes that were hung up.

"Do you know my size?" Tharn asked back, walking over to look at the clothes that Ares had prepared for him. It was a cream-colored turtleneck long-sleeve shirt, skinny brown pants for warmth, along with a long coat of the same colour as the pants. Tharn could understand this because the weather in America was quite cold right now.

"I’ve examined every inch of your body; why wouldn’t I know?" Ares replied. Tharn turned to glare at him but didn’t say anything. Ares smiled and went to take a shower while Tharn put on the clothes, including the underwear that Ares had prepared for him, which fit his body perfectly. After finishing dressing, Tharn sat waiting on the sofa. He considered calling his mother but realized it was probably very early morning in Thailand, so he decided not to. After a while, Ares finished his shower.
