Love Me Back!

Part 28

-Mistakes everywhere, not edited-

Tee looks up Tae's family and he is surprised to know Mrs Kreepolrek actually own a boutique, more precise, suits boutique. Tee doesn't know much about other fashion but he loves to make suit because he always dreaming to watch his dad wear it someday.

Tee prepares his resume and walks to the boutique, he wants to apply it, at the same time the boutique need a helper too.

Mr Kreepolrek is a doctor but already retired and let their son and daughter handle it. Tae's family is quiet rich actually and Tee just know about it 

Tee is scared to enter the glass door because, the owner not only the owner of the boutique but also his future mother in law. Tee keep passing around until his presence got attention from Mr Kreepolrek, Tina.

"hi" Tina greets Tee and Tee almost jump five feet away, he is that surprised.

Tina laughs a bit and say sorry for surprising Tee. Tee smiles and can't help but praise how beautiful the woman in front of him right now.

"Uhm, hi, I'm Tee" Tee gulps down his saliva and offers a handshake.

Tina smiles brightly and return the handshake. Tina waits patiently for Tee to say what he wants.

"erm, I saw an ads that you are looking for a helper. I want to apply for it, if its still available" Tee smiles and Tina can't help but falls for that smile.

"please come in, let's talk inside" Tina opens the door for them.

Tee is embarrassed and enter the shop, he helps to hold the door for Tina too. Tina asks his assistant to make drinks for both of them.

They talk a bit and Tee gives his resume. Tee is nervous because he knows his achievements is just average, nothing to be proud.

"I know my grades is not very good but I'm trying to find a suitable job for me since I graduated. I love to make or designs suit and I've applied a lot but none accept me because of my average grade." said Tee slowly, he knows he doesn't deserve the job.

Tina smiles and keep looking at the resume and certificates Tee got. Most of the place he go just look up until his grade in uni and they reject him fast.

"You win a competition on making a suit in Thailand" Tina is a bit surprised but she proud of it because  Tee got number one among all participants in Thailand.

"oh, erm, yeah" said Tee a bit shy, his parent are not proud of it at all, they even don't come to the ceremony. It means nothing to him.

"I think the winner get to compete in New York right? What about that?" Tina knows a lot about that and Tee can only smiles sadly.

"why Tee?" ask Tina curious, that's the best experience and chance.

"because it will take three months and they don't prepare place to stay, only the fees. I don't have that money so I give up and give the chance for the second place" answer Tee.

The memories when he asked the money from his parent is still fresh in his mind, how they rejected it and how they said that all of that just a waste. His passion to study and compete die too, he got nothing to do anymore.

Tina can see clearly how sad is Tee right now, Tee almost cry but he hold it. Tee clears his throat and give his best smile.

"Excuse me for a bit" Tina leaves, she wants to give time for Tee to calm down.

Tee feels grateful and scared at the same time, his tears rolls down without he wants it. He wipes it with his sleeves and try hard to cry silently. No matter how many years past, it still hurt him the same.

Tina talks to her assistant about Tee, as a mother he feels pity to Tee and wants to take Tee in but she also needs to think about her business.

"what do you think Chi, is he good?" ask Tina to her assistant.

Chi smiles brightly and raise her thumb.

"he is perfect mam, he got looks and his design in suits is good. I know he can make suits well, just need to teach him how. I'm sure he will master is fast" Chi is confident and like Tee already.

"are you sure you said that not because of his look?"

"part of it Mam, he is perfect. He is handsome, beautiful and cute. He can be our model too, so boring to see model that got cool face, now time to change it." suggest Chi and Tina can't agree more. Chi is right, Tee is like a perfect figure.

"don't fall in love with him okay, I don't want love trouble later on" Warns Tina and Chi laughs.

"don't worry, I like older man. Now go tell that boy he got this job. I can't wait to see him try our suits" Chi is really eager.

Tina smiles and shakes her head at the same time. Tina go to Tee that look more calm right now.

Tee can't read the smiles on Tina's face, did he got the job or not.

"you can work here. You can start it next week"

Tee is beyond than surprised. He almost jump and hugs Tina but he holds it in and express his happiness by telling how much he is grateful.

"don't be late and always follow the rules. That's all I need from you"

"thank you so much. I promise to work diligently. Thank you again" promise Tee with a grateful and happy smile

"Most welcome. Oh, this is Chi. You will help her and listen to her orders. I'm not always here but Chi is, so, please work well with her" introduces Tina.

Tee offers a handshake but Chi jumps on Tee happily. She is really happy and Tee just laughs at it.

"let's work together and do the best!" yells Chi happily and Tee nods his head.

Tee is always the most energetic one but today, he meet with the more energetic person. Tee know they will work well together.

After a bit more talk and Chi tells about Tee's work, Tina offers to treat them to lunch. Tee is happy because the positive steps from the start. Maybe he can make Tina likes him first and then, she will accept him as Tae lover too.
