It's been almost a week since she started working and she is on roll. She was in her element doing the last minute details she had discussed with Kim. They were designing a physical rehabilitation center in Pattaya. Her inputs were highly commended by their bosses and they give Kim and Yaya the go signal to execute their proposals.

"Honey, take it easy."

Yaya look up from her drawing board and saw Kim's smiling face. She smiled back.

"I feel like crying again seeing you here. I do really miss you" Kim said.

"Girl, you have no idea how much i really want to go back" Yaya said.

"And now that you are back, i want you to take it easy. I don't want my partner to be back in clutches again"

Yaya chuckled.

"Yaya it is almost 6, we can continue this tomorrow. Honestly, i really don't want to tire you on your first week..."

"Just a few more sketches and I am good to go..."

Then Kipp, one of their firms' young civil engineers and hot bachelors to boot peek at their room.

"Yes Kipp?" Noticed by Kim, as she gives Yaya the eye.

Yaya just rolled her eyes.

"Good thing i still catch you here" then he added, "hi Yaya".

Yaya just smiled and continued her work.

Kim did not left Yaya's table. Yaya can sense that Kim is irritated, because she was about to go home but got ambushed for a potential corridor meeting.

Kim just keeps her eyes to Kipp.

"Can I borrow the St. Fabian University proposal?"

"It's not yet printed in blue print, all we have is a soft copy"

"It's okay, my team only needs to check the 15th floor. Our Project Manager wants to meet with us to discuss the materials we've required tomorrow morning."

"Yaya,  you have it right?"

"Ahmm, sorry for being an old school but i left the usb at home. Can I send it through email?" Yaya suggested.

"The file might be too big even if it is zipped. Bob (his fellow engineer) is in Malaysia, he had a copy but he can't send it. We even can't access his google drive."

Yaya and Kim just look at Kipp. Then he suggested, "Well, probably I can drop you off at home and get the file."

Kim immediately turns to Yaya with an "O" forms from her lips.

Yaya just give Kim the sharp eyes. This is the third time Kipp offered to take her home. The first was when he saw her waiting for a taxi and she can't say no because its already late and raining. The second was when she saw Yaya carrying a lot of items and insisted to help her out.

Now, Yaya feels like this St Fabian University file is just an excuse.

Kim said, "it is settled then. You now go home, continue that tomorrow and  hive him the file"

Yaya shakes her head. "Okay then, Kipp can you give me some minutes"

Kipp smiles from both ends of his ears. "Great then. I mean, all is good i am going to wait for you at the front lobby. I'm just going to get the car"

Yaya just nodded and Kipp immediately left.

Kim now looks at Yaya and about to say something..

But Yaya answered, "don't even say a word"

"What? I am not going to say anything"

"I just know that look" Yaya answered..

"O no you don't" Kim laughed. "Am about to say,  not bad Urassaya"

"Boss, boss" Willy said panting as he goes to the makeshift room where Barry continuous to labor.

He got home early from Bangkok to continue the construction. Barry's daily routine for the past five weeks were business meetings and approval of documents on weekdays and room renovation on weekends. Tony joins him when he finishes his assignments.

Progress was slow but when he reports and shows Kylie their work, he felt proud as ever. After a day or two he can surprise Yaya.

Willy's catches his breath as Barry stops from what he is doing and looks at Willy.

"Remember the car i've told you about, who is taking Yaya home"

Barry just creases his brows.

"He is here. Again. With Yaya."

"Probably just a colleague"

"Boss, three times in a row"

"Have you asked Yaya about him?" Barry asked.

"Why will I ask her? " Willy answered. "Why not you?"

"I've got something to finish here" Barry just shrugged and crosses his arms.

"Okay. Okay." Said Will. "Don't blame me later and say I didn't warn you"

Barry just chuckled and lift the wood he was about to nail.

"Aish..." said Willy who can't let go. "You are working too much, and once you are done with that nailing, it might be too late for you to have her here." As willy turns his back

Barry unfortunately hits his thumb with the hammer and shouted "Arrrgggh"

"Yeah, if that happens it will really hurt" willy said without knowing that Barry hurt himself and went ahead.

As if lost in trance, Willy's words sink in. Now he is bleeding and disturbed.

He took off his shirt and went to the house. He saw a black Ford Fortuner in front of his house. "The guy is still here." He thought.

He passes through the guest area, barging, shirtless and sweating. He saw Yaya with a guy. Almost same age as him. He assesses. He looks descent.

Yaya was stunned and lost when he saw Barry.

Barry is about to pass them by when Yaya called him and stands up.

"Barry" she gulped, hope nobody notices what she just did as she look at his bareback.

Barry just stopped walking. "Uhmm" he said.

"I want you to meet my co worker, Kipp, he is one of our civil engineers"

For civility's sake Barry faces the Skip guy, he didn't care about his name.

"Barry" he said as he handed his hands.

"Oh my goodness! What happened?" Yaya asked "you are bleeding" as she looks at his hands.

"This is nothing" said Barry as he pulls away his hands.

"No you are not!" Yaya insisted as she pulls back and hovers at Barry's wound.  Worryingly, she said "i go get some medicine but let us clean this first"

Kipp made some sounds just to be noticed, but Yaya's attention was with Barry's hand. Barry smiled at his situation. 

Kipp just said, "i got to go P'Ya. Thank you for the USB. See you tomorrow and it was nice knowing you Barry"

Yaya just nodded and smiled.

"I just help my self out, ." Kipp added.

Barry just nodded and smiled. He is willing to be nailed several times in exchange of Yaya's attention before anybody else.
