Ling knows where her limits are.
She does. Like what Orm usually states, She has no right. But it doesn't mean that she will just let her partner lose trust in her. She knew that Orm was hurt by love before and was having a hard time trusting any words spoken and it's fine with her, as someone who's not good with words herself, she prefers to show her affection through her actions.
She doesn't meant to fall in love. She really doesn't. But Orm was very charming and affectionate that falling in love with her was the easiest part. It's admitting to herself that it happened that's hard. On their interviews, she tried her best to distance herself to the barrage of cuddles and hand holding, minimizing herself to just a companion but her eyes always betrays her. Ling grew up independently and had these very efficient defense for so long that even her family find hard to notice. But she guess, Orm is simply different. She guess that her defenses were meant for others and Orm had her own door.
She's treading her path slowly. She doesn't want to hurry as she's taking her time slowly with her, but it doesn't mean that she will do something to damage whatever they have, officially or not. So when her team suggested for her to go on a date as a prize for being a top spender of her brand, Ling really had a hard time thinking whether she should approve it.
Yes, they dont have any right to each other but if the roles were reverse and Orm would made to date someone other than her, she might go feral.
But her mother always tells her how intelligent she is and what's the use of her brain if she doesn't use it. She gave a green light to the team to proceed with the plan and made it a two days event so it will only have a short window time and then an hour before the timeframe ends, Lingling Kwong was sitting in front of her computer, Ordering her own clothing bulk after bulk.
"Wifey, whoever you are, my Omakase is only for Orm Kornnaphat." She said seriously, her face pensive as she's filling up her order form. Honestly, she felt overwhelm with how supportive their fans are. The outpouring of support for her brand was so overwhelming that when she checked the leaderboard of buyers, she almost had a heart attack. Even though she knew they were supporting her, she deemed it unreasonable for them to spend that much money on her. What do they plan to do with almost 2,000 pieces of clothing?
Seeing the amount, she thought again whether she would continue with her plan. She felt guilty for Wifey, having to spend a lot of money and then only to have that spot taken from her by the owner itself. She's bullshiting. She knew, but she will try to compensate Wifey by maybe, giving a signed tshirt or video calling them? She dont know. She will try everything not to have the real Wifey mad at her.
She made all her preparation in advance. She contacted her bank, warning them about the amount of transaction she's going to do. She smiles happily as the order confirmation comes through and with her name easily climbing up the leaderboard. She's just doing her own thing while sipping her orange juice until she toppled Wifey from the Top place.
"Yes!" She pumps her fist in victory. "Only Orm Kornnaphat would have me!"
She says, laughing at her screen but as she's monitoring the leaderboard, she saw Wifey fighting her back for the top place. After she made a bulk order, wifey would do the same and it's going on for how many minutes until she was distracted by that pinged of her Instagram. Ling scramble from her seat right away, she only has one person that she set a notification for.
