The next day

Tharn woke up early. He packed his things and brought them down to wait for Ares to come and pick him up. They hadn't talked on the phone the night before because Tharn wanted to rest and spend some time by himself.

"Do you want to have breakfast first?" Mae Pleng asked.

"Yes," Tharn replied before having breakfast with Mae Pleng.

"On the day we go to see the doctor, Mr. Ares will have his people take us both there," Tharn said.

"Isn't too much of a burden for him?" Mae Pleng asked in return.

"He mentioned it like this, but I don't want to trouble him either. However, he insisted that his people would take us, so I guess it's up to him," Tharn replied.

"Why does he take such good care of us?" Mae Pleng asked.

"Well, mom, you're Madam Linsey's junior. He probably wants to help take care of you," Tharn answered with a smile. In truth, he didn't really know why Ares was helping facilitate Mae Pleng's care, but thinking about it that way made sense.

"Since he treats us so well, you should work hard for him, Tharn. If there's anything you can help him with, do it," Mae Pleng said in response. Tharn forced a smile back. He was wondering if Mae Pleng knew that he was Ares' sex partner would she be disappointed in him. Tharn didn't say anything else. After finishing breakfast, he sat down to wait for Ares. It wasn't long before Ares' car arrived. Ares got out and greeted Mae Pleng briefly before having Rafa take Tharn's bags to the car.

"Is there anything you want from Bangkok, Mom? If you want something, just call me, and I'll go buy it for you," Tharn said to Mae Pleng.

"I don't need anything. You go; otherwise, the traffic will be bad," Mae Pleng replied. Tharn then walked to the car along with Ares.

"What time did you schedule with them?" Tharn asked.

"One o'clock," Ares answered.

"And where are we going first?" Tharn asked again, calculating that they should definitely arrive before noon.

"Let's check into the hotel first because I booked a room, and the people we need to have a meeting with will meet us there," Ares explained. Tharn couldn't help but wonder why the people they were supposed to meet would come to them, especially since they should be the ones trying to convince them to use their troupe's actors. The more he thought about it, the more it felt like Ares had more influence to negotiate with them. But Tharn chose not to ask.

"Well, I guess I'll take a break and rest my eyes," Tharn said, as he had returned late the night before and was worn out from work and being pressured by Ares earlier, plus he had to prepare his clothes and wake up early.

"I'll wake you up when we arrive," Ares replied. Tharn adjusted his seat to recline and closed his eyes. Ares glanced over at Tharn for a moment. He knew that since the night before last, there had been a thin wall separating them.

Buzz.

The phone with Rafa vibrated due to a message. Rafa picked it up to read before turning around to find Ares.

"What is it?" Ares asked, not too loudly.

"Miss Tiara sent a message, saying she's with Mr. Balan right now, and they want to video call to greet the boss," Rafa replied. Mr. Balan, whom Rafa mentioned, is the owner of a world-renowned brand that has had a good relationship with Ares for a long time and often provides work for the models and actors under Ares's management.

"Tell them back that I'm busy and apologize for me. If Tiara is still with Mr Balan after I finish my business, I'll contact them." Ares replied. Rafa was a bit confused as to what his boss was busy with, even though he was just sitting in the car while travelling to Bangkok. But when he saw Ares's gaze directed at Tharn, who was asleep, Rafa began to understand a bit because if Ares video calls the other party, even if he uses earphones, Ares's voice would definitely disturb Tharn's rest. Thinking about this, Rafa felt that Tharn had a heavy heart regarding his boss, more than he had ever seen before.
