Khao couldn't shake off the excitement from Earth's call. A job interview with Mr. First Kanaphan Puitrakul? It sounded too good to be true.
He opened his email, finding the details from Earth:
"Dear Khao,
Mr. First Kanaphan Puitrakul requests your presence at an interview tomorrow at 2 PM.
Location: The Puitrakul Tower, 23rd Floor
Dress Code: Formal
Please confirm your attendance.
Best regards,
Earth"
Khao's heart raced as he typed his confirmation. What kind of job could Mr. Puitrakul offer? Was it a legitimate opportunity or a scam.

The next day, Khao stood in front of his closet, selecting a crisp white shirt and a tailored suit. He hadn't dressed up like this in months.
As he adjusted his tie, his mom walked into his room.
"Where are you going all dressed up?" she asked, curiosity sparking in her eyes.
Khao hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. "I have a job interview."
His mom's expression changed from curiosity to surprise. "A job interview? Where?"
Khao hesitated again. "The Puitrakul Tower."
His mom's eyes widened. "The Puitrakul Tower? That's a prestigious building! What company is it?"
Khao shrugged. "I'm not entirely sure. The interviewer didn't specify."
His dad, Sea, and Lila walked into the room, drawn by the conversation.
"What's going on?" Sea asked.
"Khao has a job interview at the Puitrakul Tower," their mom announced.
Lila smiled. "That's amazing, Khao! Good luck."
His dad nodded. "We're all rooting for you, son."
Sea patted Khao's back. "You got this, bro."
Khao's mom couldn't hide her excitement. "This could be the break you need! You must make a good impression."
Khao smiled, feeling a mix of relief and pressure. "I'll try my best."
With his family's encouragement, Khao grabbed his bag and headed out the door.

Khao stood outside The Puitrakul Tower, his suit clinging to his sweaty body. He took a deep breath and entered the sleek, modern building.
The receptionist greeted him warmly. "Ah, Mr. Rattanakitpaisan? You're here for the interview with Mr. Puitrakul?"
Khao nodded, and she escorted him to the 23rd floor.
As the elevator doors opened, Khao was struck by the stunning view of Bangkok's skyline.
"Khao, welcome," Earth said, standing by the door. "Mr. Puitrakul will see you now."
Khao's nerves returned as he followed Earth into the luxurious office.
First Kanaphan Puitrakul, tall and imposing, stood behind his desk, his piercing eyes fixed on Khao. Khao wasn't gonna lie, he surely expected an older man not someone his age.
"Ah, Mr. Rattanakitpaisan. Thank you for coming," First said, his voice low and smooth.
Khao shook his hand, feeling a spark of electricity.
