Kinny found that after feeling (a bit) down due to a fever, Salee recovered and was back to her usual antics within two days. In contrast, Veetara, who initially only complained of a slight sore throat, started to experience a headache and fever, seemingly worse than the one who spread the illness. When asked how she managed to get even sicker after visiting the doctor, Veetara speculated that it was because they had a meal at Talat Phlu, and Salee dipped her saliva-covered spoon into her soup to steal a meatball. That's why Veetara looked worn out, like a wilted veggie. However, she still refused to take a day off. She continued to cough her way into the office early in the morning, just like Salee and her ever-present megaphone.
"Khun Jae!" Everyone covered their ears as Salee shouted encouragement to her beloved Jae, "You'll get better soon with my love!"
Veetara, too weak to scold, could only croak, "If you have work, go do it." Salee obediently complied, seemingly aware that she was the reason for Veetara's state. She hoped to make amends by being cooperative. After finishing her own class, Salee returned to fuss over Veetara, treating her as if she were paralyzed, which annoyed everyone in the office. This led to a collective decision to hide Salee's beloved megaphone, believing it'd be a favor to Veetara by sparing her from the loud shouting. However, Kinny refused to join in. She learned her lesson after Salee's revenge for teasing her about the sickness. Salee changed Kinny's computer desktop background to embarrassing close-ups of Kinny's face in many funny moments, which Salee had secretly captured.
Thinking about this, Kinny realized that Salee was actually a talented photographer, as evidenced by the photos she posted on social media.
Because of this, everyone agreed to let Salee take photos during the office's New Year celebration, hoping for some nice pictures to post on Facebook and Instagram without hiring a professional photographer. However, except for Veetara, no one got usable photos; they were either blurry or missing half a face. When confronted, Salee nonchalantly claimed, "My Khun Jae is so beautiful that the pictures turned out beautiful too," which almost got her a beating. But Veetara, who got magazine-cover-worthy photos, mumbled, "She took them for free, so let's not be too hard on her," forcing everyone to back off. Two days later, Salee tried to sell the good photos she'd secretly kept, saying, "I just found some usable ones. Five hundred per photo. Transfer the money to..."
Salee got beaten for real this time, with Veetara fully supporting the idea.
But that didn't mean this annoying, precocious girl was alone. Recently, Veetara, who'd always said the kid was annoying, was quite supportive of her, siding with her in matters that weren't too trivial or annoying. This led Kinny to believe that if Veetara didn't allow it, no one should mess with Salee.
Didn't anyone else notice this?
"Has anyone seen my megaphone?"
Kinny rested her chin on both hands, watching Salee search the office for nearly half an hour.
"Nope, haven't seen it," Onanong replied with a sweet smile, making Salee frown briefly before her superb instinct told her she was being pranked, knowing she'd pulled pranks on others many times.
"Who took it? Give it back now."
"Who would take it? You're the only one who uses it," Aof said nonchalantly.
Ignoring him, Salee packed her bag and headed for the door, prompting Kinny to ask, "Where are you going?"
"Someone stole my megaphone. I'm going to report it to the officer!"
The entire office was startled, exchanging nervous glances before Aof quickly said, "Hey, look for it properly first. It'll turn up. No need to bother the police."
