First's POV:

I smile at the decorated rooftop in front of me. It's looking beautiful already and in the evening when it would be dark and lights would be turned on, it would be perfect.

"Khun First, would you like any more arrangements?" Ciize asks. She is my most trusted employee. Yes that's right. I've my allies too. My father has worked more than me obviously so most of the employees are loyal to him. Which isn't bad but that way he can even ask them to get information about my private life. Just like Pond.

"Nah. This is all."

"Alright then, I'll take a leave. I'll make stops at the banks before I reach office. Just in case" she raises her eyebrows. That's the code for "Pond is keeping eye on her" or even "following her". Making unnecessary stops can avoid the suspicions and keep him unclear about our plans. Even the smallest snitch can cause khaotung his life. I've experienced that before. The moment I get close to someone that my father isn't approved of, that person disappears.

I am about to go to the company to finish some tasks so that I can come back in time. Bright already knows his part where he'll make khaotung come upstairs. It will be perfect! I'll confess my feelings to him. I'll let him know about my plan. And how I'll get me out of this arranged wedding. I want to make sure that he knows that View and I don't have any relationship besides the arranged dates. Which now a days feels forced ones. I want to tell him about how delicately I have to handle this matter without affecting company stocks, family reputation and without him getting hurt. I want to protect him but he needs to trust me.

He said he likes me but he is scared. I want to know everything that's bothering him.

As I rich office, surprisingly Pond is not present. They inform me that he is on unplanned leave. Which is very odd since he never takes unplanned leave. In fact I have to force him to take his mandatory vacation days off. But it's good for me I guess. I've given khaotung some tasks related to payments of ceremony musicians. I just want him to think it's an ordinary day and he won't be suspicious of anything.

Pond's pov:

I was driving to the office in the morning and when I was at the signal I see someone familiar. Someone who's living in my mind rent free for past weeks. Phuwin!!

I am just curious what he is doing untill I see that guy. BY HIS SIDE. Holding his ARM! Ugh he is Wayo! Why is Phuwin so dumb? Always letting himself be weak and naive for Wayo. Without knowing I pull my car aside and get off at the corner in front them. I walk towards them.

Phuwin avoids eye contact as soon as he sees me. Wayo smirks at me. "I think I made myself clear last time, didn't I?" I ask in firm voice. He does not let go of the arm.

"Oh and who are you? His new boyfriend or just his client?" He laughs. I look at Phuwin. He looks down. Defeated.

"I know you are not real. So drop the act. You have no right to get involved between us." He continues.

"Whether I am or I am not. That does not matter! You are clearly making him uncomfortable. So let him go." He brush off his arm so phuwin is free. Phuwin still looks down. Sad. What did happen to him?

"Do you really think he'll go with you?" He spits. I ignore him and takes phuwin's hand to drag him out of there. Anywhere is fine. Away from him.

But phuwin doesn't move. I look back confused. Even though we have not confessed anything. I thought we still grew closer to each other these past months. We have this spark between us. He even spent nights at my house. Even though nothing happened between us yet, I thought we are teasing and flirting. All these silly arguments on surface but caring underneath. But was it just me?
