Invitations

36

Earth trusts his lover but that doesn't mean he would be at ease. He would feel at ease. Its been weeks since his and Ben's weekly dates were taken away because of that shitty immersion.

"Okay, its time to go."

"Thank you so much for the hard work Nong Earth. Will you please accept these?" The head asked and gave Earth a bag of treats.

"Thank you P'Prae." Earth smiled at the head.

"You should go now. We can handle this on our own. Thank you for your help. See you this Monday." Prae said and Earth smiled at them before bidding goodbye.

He ran to the parking lots and made his way to Pavel and Dome's house.

"Shiya. I will go there with Ben. I will check him out and see if my hunch is correct." Earth said and made a u turn.

He had seen a car drop Ben in front of their condo and Ben told him it was the head chef giving him a ride. Earth didn't think it was only an innocent one. He feels like the head chef might be up to something.

He unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt and parked his car at the VIP parking area. He got off his car and entered the hotel.

"Young master its nice seeing you here."

Earth smiled a little and told them he's just going to roam around the place and they should not mind him at all.

He walked to the restaurant area and saw it there was a huge meeting and one family friend saw him and introduced him to other people.

"I am just randomly dropping by." Earth told them and they all smiled.

"What a good son you are."

"You are taking care of the business while your parents are away."

"I see. Must be a pressure on your shoulders to be the only child."

"Hey, you look very handsome. Would you like to go out on a date with my daughter?"

Earth turned around and kindly refused the man. He told him he was already taken so he cannot do such thing.

"What a loyal young man."

Earth smiled and excused himself. He sighed and massaged his cheeks. They hirt from smiling too much and he wore his stoic face.

He entered the kitchen and it fell silent when they saw him. The old employees greeted him while the new ones greeted him too even if they had no idea who he was.

"Dont mind me. I am just dropping by." Earth said roam around the kitchen.

He saw Ben was busy chopping some meat and a woman probably in her late 20's or early 30's was all over Ben.

Anger was bubbling inside Earth because the way she looks at Ben was so obvious. He did not like that at all.

He walked his way to Ben who was still oblivious about him. Earth licked his lips before he crossed his arms and spoke.

"What are you making Mister intern?"

Shivers went down Ben's spine when he heard a cold voice. He whipped his head to see where it belongs and he did not expect to see Earth. He looked really serious and his face was really hard to read.

"I... I am chopping meat s-sir." Ben said nervously and Earth raised his brow and he nodded.

"I can see that. Anyways... nevermind." Earth said and turned to look at the head chef who was also looking at him.

"Good day." Earth greeted insincerely.

"Yes good day... how did you get in here?" She asked and Earth bit the inside of his cheek.
