Chapter 21: Onyx magic.

The six-wheeled truck of Sol Jewelry Company backed up and parked parallel to the warehouse door. Before the art department staff lifted and placed the showcase and jewelry display, which were designed in the shape of an octagonal sunburst similar to the company's logo, on the truck with caution.
"Let us take the showcase and backdrop to the event first. As for you, Ms. Kaewmanee, you can come along with us." said the head of the art department to the three interns who came to inspect the condition of the items to be taken to the event early in the morning.
Today is the first day of preparations for the International Gem Festival, which will be held tomorrow. All three of them were excited and couldn't sleep, so they made an appointment to meet at the company's office before the sun rose.
"Thank you so much for helping us. If it weren't for your guidance and advice, we wouldn't be able to continue." Yota expressed his gratitude while bowing and thanking his seniors.
"It is our duty. It is us seniors who must thank you juniors for your trust and for leading us in things we have never done before. Like assembling that sun display showcase, it took hours and caused back and waist pain for all of us." The middle-aged man mentioned the past and turned to look at another male staff member from the art department and told him to go up to the truck first.
"We'll catch up with you soon."
"You juniors go meet the director, or the beautiful secretary would LINE us until the network burns out." the senior teased.

After the beautiful secretary arrived at work not long ago, she was immediately called by the director to meet the project team. She then called all three of them right away. However, at that moment, they were busy checking the condition of the artwork, so no one answered her call. The beautiful secretary ended up calling the art department's office phone multiple times, and of course, the person who answered couldn't escape the wrath of the head of the art department, who had entered the room to take the documents for the item list.
"Let's go together." Salin invited, before leading his two beloved friends to follow the football field and head towards the main building.
"Why do you think the director called us?" Pimnaphas asked, with her hand holding the bag close to her body.
"Wishing you good luck? Hopefully." Yota smiled at his little friend who looked so lost in thought that he wasn't himself.
"I hope so. Not like calling us to scold or reprimand us for what we're doing." She said, taking a deep breath and gathering her courage.
Normally, the chairman would call them to meet in the executive room whenever. Because usually... if there was something to discuss or consult about, he would call them to meet in the project team meeting room, for the most part.
The elevator on the top floor of the building opened wide, as it reached its destination. The three of them walked across the blood-red carpet with cold determination, before stopping and standing in front of your desk, facing the secretary with an expressionless face.
When she saw that all three interns had arrived, she stood up and walked over to the wooden door, knocking on it a couple of times, before a strong voice from inside gave permission and she gestured for the three of them to enter.
"Did your husband eat something wrong today or what? His voice can still be heard outside, it sounds so eerie." Pimnaphas whispered to her close friend.

"No, I didn't eat anything." Salin grinned, "I mean, we didn't eat anything before coming out of the condo."
Pimnaphas, having heard that, could only stare with her mouth wide open. She didn't think her good friend would dare to talk about such rumors in public.
"Yes, that's right, your shoulders are strong and legs are firm now." She mumbled, looking up, before following her tall friend. Both of them entered the private office of the CEO of Sol Jewelry.
"Hello, Chairman." Pimnaphas was the first to greet the older person.
"Please sit down." His thick hand pointed towards the long leather sofa. The three of them walked over and sat down as if it were easy, but their breaths weren't calm.
Why is your face so calm, Chairman!
"Have you had breakfast together yet?" Suriyen asked, leaning back in his chair, and picking up his mobile phone to unlock the screen.
"Not yet, sir." All three replied hesitantly, their hands clasped together on their laps. Even Salin himself.
"Um..." He hesitated before quickly dialing a number and placing the call. "Did Khun Suriyen call us for something?" Yota asked.
"Actually... if we're going to be together like this, you two can call me Phii Sun, just like Nong Lin. After all, you guys are my boyfriend's close friends." He turned to a certain person, looking at his slightly pink cheeks.
Cute and charming.
"It's better to keep calling you as before, boss. I'm afraid someone might accidentally call you that outside." Pimnaphas cracked a dry smile, glancing at Yota for his opinion.
