"I'm sorry for the short notice. I'll contact him after we hang up that we'll be there in an hour or two. Thanks, Clare."

Copter ended the call and immediately dialled another number.

"Mr. Arom? We'll be there in two hours. Thank you, Sir. It's okay. It's a good thing though that my client is free today. We'll see you."

Copter put down the phone and rushed to fix his things. He needs to pick up Clare and then drive to Vintage Cellars their best supplier for vintage wine. The Big C decided on a locally made wine to be serve on their wedding reception. This is because Kimmon is a big supporter of locally made products. He just found out by researching online that the young CEO is known to support locally made products like furnitures, paintings, ornaments, etc. Articles online said his whole building displayed paintings and furnitures by local artisan. He smiled as he remembered how Kimmon reitirated on their Line conversation that he will not choose any imported wine to be serve on his wedding reception even though Clare has many foreign guests. He can just imagined the conviction visible on the handsome face. But he needed to stop day dreaming of a certain young CEO and need to rush out. He picked up his car keys and his laptop bag. He was about to go out of the office when Bas called him.

"What's with the rush? Where are you going?" Bas asked.

"Change in schedule." Copter answered as he Line Clare that he is about to leave the office. "Mr. Arom, our wine supplier suddenly needs to fly to Indonesia and will be gone indefinitely. The store will be close while he is gone so we need to go there now for sampling since Kimmon had already chosen his wine to be serve on the reception." He quickly explained.

"I thought Kimmon is still in Phuket." Bas said while looking at his phone.

Copter nodded. "He is. Only Clare and I will go wine tasting today."

Bas teasingly smiled. "Is that okay? Going wine tasting alone with the fiancee."

Copter rolled his eyes at his friend teasing then he suddenly remembered something. "Shit." He exclaimed as he took out his phone again. "I forgot to message Kimmon about it." Then he started to furiously typed on his phone.

"Relax, Cop." Bas said while smiling at him. "Bet Clare had already informed him about it."

Copter ignored Bas and continued typing on his phone then hit send. "I'll go now but I'll be back just in time for dinner." Bas' parents had arrived yesterday from their extended vacation and are now looking for him.

"Make sure you'll show yourself later." Bas warned.

"I know." Copter answered. He can't take on anything but not a crying woman. Bas' mother tend to get too emotional when something does not go her way. He and Bas had learned a long time ago not to bend her words.

'Women.'

Copter rolled his eyes again as he run to his car. Bas' mother is probably the only woman he can tolerate. It will be forever etched on his mind the first time Bas' mother hugged him inside the Dean's office back in college. The memory of the warm hug never failed to pinch his heart everytime he remembers it.

But he needed to stop thinking of other things and focus on the Big C for now. He drives through the very busy streets of Bangkok while talking to their contact person for the invitations. They were supposed to meet today but he had to cancel because of the wine supplier. He apologized for the abrupt cancellation of the meeting and set another appointment. Then he called the contact person of Midnight Acoustics the band Kimmon had chosen to play on their wedding reception. They were supposed to meet them on the weekend but Kimmon needed to extend his stay in Phuket.
