The Biggest Loser Is My Lover

Chapter 25: Glass

Orm was not in a good mood that day. After that dream, she couldn't sleep again, afraid that it might be the same. She didn't tell her mom exactly what her dream was nor told her Lingling that she had a nightmare. She got a chance to talk to her wife before she left for the shoot. She seemed to have something to say, but when asked, she said it was nothing important and that she would just tell her in person. 

It was a Saturday then. Orm had to attend the shoot for the new advertisement for Noiam Foods that they have been working on. It was at the factory outside the city, so she left early for it. Golf noticed her gloomy mood and asked her if she was alright. She only told her she didn't have enough sleep. While it was true, it wasn't entirely the reason. Her mind was still replaying the fragments of her dream over and over again. 

“How could you cheat on me?!” 

Orm shook her head, trying to push the thought away. She was sitting on the chair by the wall while the staff prepared the actress they hired to appear on the video. 

“Coffee?” 

When Orm looked up, she saw One holding out a cup of take out coffee to her. It was the one that the company provided for the staff. 

“I just thought you needed one.” One shrugged, a little shy. 

Orm felt cautious especially after that dream. Cheat on her? That was what Lingling said in her dreams but with who? She didn't want to be rude, so she accepted it. “Thanks.” She smiled a bit. 

“You can tell me about it.” 

One was only being friendly, Orm told herself. “It's okay.” She stood up. She couldn't make a mistake. Whatever it was, she won't. “Thanks for this. I have to go check on P'Golf.” 

One was disappointed but found another way. “Can I come with you? Maybe we could run through the script with Khun Yaya?” 

“We already did.”

“Oh, I see.” One nodded. “But hey—” 

Orm furrowed her brows, slightly stunned, when One touched her arm. Thankfully, he immediately withdrew it. 

“—if you ever need someone to talk to, I can listen.” 

Orm only nodded before approaching Golf instead. She somehow felt bad about how she was acting towards One, but she just wasn't in a good mood. 

“Hey, Nong. Are you really okay?” Golf asked, patting her junior's arm comfortingly. 

“Yeah.” Orm gave her a reassuring smile. “I just need some caffeine.” She lifted the cup and took a sip of the coffee. She told herself to forget about the nightmare for now while at work. She had to. 

“Please get ready! We'll start in five minutes!” The director said through the speaker. 

At the summit in Amsterdam, Lingling walked inside one of the conference rooms to attend an interactive workshop led by one of the biggest business moguls of the world's retail industry. She sat down on one of the empty chairs, opened her notebook and slid the note containing her number into its tiny pocket. It was the last full day of the summit. Tomorrow will only be half a day. She already checked in for her flight in the evening back to Bangkok. 

The talk started then. 

“Welcome, everyone!” The bald business magnate, who was wearing a button-down shirt underneath a blazer with a pair of dark jeans, greeted all the attendees in such high energy. “Whether you're a seasoned businessman or woman…or maybe just starting out your business, creating a compelling proposal is the key in securing business opportunities, partnerships, and funding…and we're gonna reinforce that…today.”
