If only you could have met me now, how different it would be
How much I have changed. How I have grown. I learnt so much
from all the mistakes I made with you. I just wish I had made
them with someone else.

The silence in the conference room was so deafening that only the rustling of papers from a few of them could be heard when Mark, the accountant from Bunma Company, addressed the serious faces of the people in the room.
"But if it happens, and we calculate the total revenue minus the total expenses of acquiring the added price on our product, it would certainly lead to our loss." Ling listened intently to the discussion. They've been here for almost an hour now, listening to the report of what happened and the details of the incident.
Yesterday morning, Orm's dad called her early for advice on what to do about the problem the company is facing.
Thailand has a significant durian cultivation landscape. The sector's productivity is evident, with a reported production area of more than a million tons, but the fast few weeks, the southern province of Thailand was affected by fruit borers, where the larvae feed on the fruit, rendering them unmarketable. Many farms were affected by this, but luckily, their supplier from Chumphon was not impacted. However, the owners refused to deliver the fruits due to the limited number of competitors, causing the price of the goods to skyrocket, and the farm owner became greedy.
"This pest problem, did the Food Resources Team not foresee this?" Mark asked Orm, who was just sitting there. It seems that he is upset about the girl's rejection of him last week. Ling thought it was petty and was about to say something when Orm sat up straight from leaning back in her chair and looked at the Head Accountant.
"Mr. Amatayakun Although we have Pest Control Assessment and a licensed pest management professional that is contract to service the operation, our job is to make sure that the standard of the goods delivered to us meets the proper regulation and not to guard the fruit right of the bat. We are updated with the recent pest analysis in the country and explosion of fruit borers came from the declined of their natural enemies such as predatory bugs or ants, would you like us to incubate ants to combat these fruit borers?" Orm said without pausing for even a breath that made the man bow down. The woman annihilates the clueless accountant.
The CEO cleared his throat to remind Orm that they were in the conference room with several board members and the heads of departments. Orm just glared at her ex boyfriend, challenging Mark to rebut but the Accountant just looked away, his little fist clenching and Ling was just observing the exchange, her face unperturbed and cool.
Aside from multitudes of food, herbs and exotic, Frozen durian is one of Sethachon's main exports, and the company will suffer significant losses if they don't find a solution to these issues. A middle age man that serves as the Operations Director looked at the Lawyer and asks, "What can we do against the supplier, Khun Ling? The last time we asked them, twenty tons of what should've been ours was already redistributed to the highest bidder, leaving us with only five tons. They need to deliver it to us two weeks from now"
Ling turned her attention back to the CEO and to the board, "What they are doing right now is not an actual breach of contract but an anticipatory breach, where the supplier indicates, explicitly or implicitly, their unwillingness or inability to fulfil contractual obligations before the performance is due through Implied repudiation. " The Lawyer explained, making sure that everyone understood what she's trying to say then she stood up. "Section 222 of the Thai Civil and Commercial Code stated that if the company suffer Consequential damages like extra damages beyond general losses, Sethachon can claim compensation from them. To claim these, the plaintiff must substantiate the incurred losses."
