FALLIN' ALL IN YOU (Completed)

Chapter 73

Kongpob's POV

Luke's basic message 'safe' came in as usual. I don't usually follow up on them, but for some odd reason, I feel like I should. I've asked Luke to watch over Arthit even though I'm sure my mother already has for a completely different reason. So, Luke has been sending a simple message to me at the end of the day to let me know Arthit's well-being. That's all I have really asked of him.

***Luke***

Like Thak, Luke is also ex-military. He was a sniper that was trained to operate in stealth mode. He has been working for me, no, cross that. He has been working for my mother for the last four years. After an actress became crazily obsessed with me, and showed up naked in my bed one night when I came back from a business trip, my mother hired Luke. Thank goodness Thak was with me at that time. Otherwise, I probably would have had to use force.

It's been four days since I've last talked to Arthit. I mean like really talked. He has picked up my calls a few times, but he would quickly hang up saying he was in the middle of something, or he needed to go somewhere. However, our messages seem completely normal, like he wasn't avoiding me. So, I don't know what he is thinking. It was like he was too nervous to talk, but he was fine to flirt in text.

I've asked Arthit why he has been so busy, and he said it's just work. I know he has been visiting his mother in the hospital. Thak's security team has informed him. Hence, I know it's not work that's keeping Arthit busy, and I know he is lying. I may not know the details of his past, but I'm well aware of his family's situation. My mother as usual gave me a file on Arthit once she knew I was involved with him. I never asked about his family as I don't want him to feel uncomfortable. I'm willing to listen if he wants to share, but I don't want to pressure him to do so.

I'm not the controlling type, and I don't pry. But like I said before, I don't like mind games. I haven't pushed him to say anything. However, I can't deny the fact that I am disappointed that he still hasn't told me anything. I trusted him, yet he has chosen to lie to me.

I'm sure he has his reasons, but that doesn't mean I feel any better about it. I wonder how much longer is he going to keep this up, or will he ever tell me. Maybe, I'm not as important to him as I think I am. I'm so not used to having all these extra feelings, and second guessing myself. Am I falling too fast and too hard? I can't help, but think so. I'm starting to loathe what I am becoming.

I strolled over to the next painting. I'm not really even paying attention to what I'm looking at. Mr. Wang's daughter Daisy asked me to accompany her to her friend's art exhibit opening. Since, I don't have anymore meetings for the day, I agreed. So, I'm walking around the gallery with Thak a few meters away from me. Daisy stepped away, so I'm discreetly checking my phone. I'm disappointed again to see no new messages from Arthit. I put my phone back in my pocket before anyone thinks I'm disrespectful.

Daisy: Kongpob, there you are.

I turned around at the sound of Daisy calling my name. Daisy came over with another woman in tow smiling.
