For you who are following my library account on IG. This is basically part 1 and part 2. Just edited some part. Not new one. 😆
Bas finally finds a quiet place in the corner of the hotel park. He is exhausted, not from his work but from the scrutiny eyes that keep following him everywhere right after he steps in the hotel. He wants to take off his nametag because his last name gives him so much attention he does not want.
He begged his dad so he could apply for his internship in some other hotel, not his dad's hotel- which is the biggest one in Bangkok for Pete's sake.
But his dad, being an overly protective rich dad just would not give in. He should at least just send Bas to the hotel branch at the countryside like Bas wished, but no means no.
Now that he starts his internship, and it is not even four hours of working, he already regrets everything. The attention is too much even though his dad promised him there will benno such thing like special privileges. In fact, there is no hotel staff getting off for work in an Audi car with two bodyguards follow him around.
Bas sighs. He takes off his nametag carelessly. "The last time I checked, it is not break time yet. What are you doing here and not working?"
A cold and stern voice breaks his reverie. Bas looks up and is kind of taken aback by the tall handsome figure standing in front of him.
Is it because of his suit or he is just so freaking tall? Bas thought.
He blinks his eyes feeling completely shaken, both from the words and the face -especially the face.
"Are you even listening, intern boy?" the man continues, raising his eyebrows.
"Yes... I... I-" Bas tries his best but he just keeps stuttering.
"You what? Skip working? Letting your team do your job?"
"No... I'm just....clearing my mind"
"Clearing your mind and skipping work? I don't care of what's bothering you now, when it's time to work you have to work."
Bas remotely pouts, all his life, he rarely gets scolded. And of all people in the hotel, he is the only one who treats Bas differently. Bas wonders if this man knows who he is at all.
"What is your name?"
"Bas, sir." and you? Bas said inside his mind.
"I need to talk to your supervisor for your lazy act." Godt still looks at him in the eye when someone calls him from behind.
"Mr. Itthipat, you have Mr. President on the line"
"Thank you" he said and gave Bas one last glance before taking off.

The first week, all Bas does is do the cleaning, he knows this is part of the 'training' but he is sick of the detergent smell already.
When the second week comes, Bas is assigned to do the room service. He knows all the theories from his textbook but facing the guest for the first time makes him nervous a little.
He is pushing the table towards the said room number, this guest ordered a bottle of champagne with some side dishes.
Bas rings the bell and he hears footsteps coming towards him. The door is opened and the guest let Bas pushes the table inside.
Bas only looks at the guest's face after the guest said something he barely catches.
"Pardon me sir?" Bas said.
"Pretty." the old man said while staring at Bas from head to toe as if Bas is a thing on store display he wants to buy.
Bas gets awkward immediately, if he is not his hotel guest; that he needs to treat with respect, he will throw tantrums nonstop.
"I will leave the table here sir. Anything else sir?" Bas asked politely even though he is feeling uncomfortable with the hungry stare the old man has been throwing at Bas.
"Can you accompany me for a while?"
"I am sorry sir. I am afraid I have to leave now. If you have anything else, you can just-"
Bas is suddenly pulled on the wrist towards the old man. Bas is both scared and annoyed. He is not even a girl to begin with.
"You keep offering me your help..." the old man is moving his face closer to Bas while gripping Bas' hand very tightly. "But you don't listen to my need."
"I am sorry sir, but we don't give that kind of service here. And please let go of my hand." Bas fists his hand into a ball and stares back at the old man.
"Wow. You're so brave. What would you do now huh? Hit me?" he moves his face very close to Bas and it makes Bas wants to spit on that old pedophile face. Bas closes his eyes when the old man keeps getting closer and gathers his strength to yanks his hand free from the old man, it makes the old man pushed back a little and Bas immediately runs out of the room.
Bas is walking so fast while panting hard. His first experience is happened to be the worst experience ever. He wants to cry for he is not sure what he should do.
