"What?" Tharn immediately asked back.

"Can you help me dab it?" Ares replied, and Tharn stared at Ares right away before moving closer to speak softly so only the two of them could hear.

"With so many people around, how can you expect me to dab your face? I already told you not to make people suspicious about us." Tharn, who just realized this, scolded Ares, causing Ares to frown immediately. But in the end, Ares accepted a tissue from Tharn to wipe the sweat himself, while Jane and her friends looked on with curiosity.

"Jane, do you think something happened that night with Tharn?" Pha Paeng whispered to Jane, knowing about the wine Tharn had drunk, which had been mixed with a sex drug.

"I don't know either, but what I do know is that the waiter has already quit. I don't know where he went." Jane replied.

"Or maybe he ran away because he was afraid of getting in trouble?" Pha Paeng asked further.

"That could be it." Jane responded, but she still seemed uncertain.

"Or maybe Mr Ares knows about the drug." Another friend asked.

"I don't think he would know, or maybe he does, but doesn't know who did it. If not, he would probably have tracked them down to talk by now, right Jane?" Pha Paeng speculated before they all fell silent and looked at each other anxiously.

"Don't overthink it; there might not be anything at all." Jane said to encourage herself, also thinking that if Ares knew, he wouldn't let them sit and eat together.

.......

"Are you full now?" Tharn turned to ask Ares when he saw that the other had put down his spoon. Ares nodded in response.

"Is the food not to your taste?" Tharn asked directly, as Ares had only eaten a little and had only tasted the food that Tharn had served him. The only thing he ate a bit more of was the bamboo shoot soup. Tharn tried to compare it to the times they had eaten together at the mansion and realized that Ares indeed ate less than usual this time.

"Hmm," Ares replied quietly.

"Here they have sour curry too. Do you want to eat it? I can order it," Tharn asked, as he had intended to order it from the beginning because he wanted Ares to try some other dishes. Ares shook his head.

"If you make it, I'll eat it," Ares replied, which made Tharn roll his eyes a little. When he looked over at Ares' people, he saw that many of them were enjoying their meals.

"The boss can be a bit picky about food," Mary commented.

"Well, I can guess that," Tharn replied. Ares didn't say anything about his secretary gossiping like this in front of him.

"Let's eat first, then you can come with me," Ares said quietly.

"Where to?" Tharn asked back.

"To my penthouse," Ares answered straightforwardly.

"No, I'm going home. We agreed on this; don't be so selfish," Tharn scolded the other, causing Ares to furrow his brows slightly.

"I was just inviting you to go for drinks afterwards," Ares claimed. Tharn pouted at him.

"I don't believe you. You can't force me. I'll be staying over at your place tomorrow anyway. If I go today, I'll really cancel for tomorrow," Tharn threatened. Ares could only furrow his brows.

"Okay, you're really stubborn," Ares complained, unable to hold back. Tharn shrugged in response before sitting down to eat and chat with the others. Seeing that everyone was full, including Jane's table, Tharn called for the bill. Mary took care of the expenses on behalf of Ares.
