The Boss (MewGulf)

Gulf's P.O.V:

Before I could say anything he hugged me and started crying on my shoulder.

"Thank you so much..." He said in a broken voice.

He sounded so broken and depressed I didn't have the heart to push him away from me so I patted his back instead.

Although it's awkward for me.

But I knew he was worried about his children I mean it's quite obvious.

After a few minutes he calmed down and finally let go of me.

"Mr Suppasit?" I asked cautiously.

"I owe you one...Name anything and I'll do it as long as it's something I can do" He said pulling away and wiping away his tears.

"Ummm...Give me a ride home?" I asked.

He chuckled and shook his head.

"That's it?" He asked smiling.

I nodded.

"Yes...Ummm...Nong Pansri has a fever...I brought the medicines but I have to hurry" I said.

"I just expected you'd ask for something else" He said.

"Like what?" I asked confused.

"Money perhaps?" He said.

I sighed and shook my head.

"You know what?...Cancel the ride I'm going on foot" I said irritated.

"Alright...I'm sorry...I'll give you a ride" He said.

But before I could answer my phone started ringing.

"Oh...I'm sorry P'Sansuay...I'm on my way...I'll explain when I'm back" I said.

Then I hung up and looked at him expectantly.

He asked his children to come closer but they didn't.

"I'll give you candy if you listen to Papa" I said smiling at them.

"We don't want your candy" The girl said.

"How about a piggyback ride?" I asked smiling.

They looked at me hesitantly and nodded before going to their father.

"Let's go" He said smiling.

I nodded and followed him to his car then gave him directions to the orphanage.

After a few minutes we arrived and I got out of the car and gave P'Sansuay the medicines.

"So that's the place?" He asked.

"Yes...Obviously come in" I said.

"Thanks" He said then followed me inside.

I walked to the kitchen where I found Ai Puimek cooking and P'Sansuay getting wash clothes.

"Ai Puimek...How is Nong Pansri doing?" I asked.

"Her fever went down a bit...She still needs the medicines though... And I need help at the kitchen" She said.

Then she looked behind me at Mr Suppasit.

"Ummm...Hi" He said awkwardly.

"Hi" She said shocked.

"Let's go" I said pushing her in front of me.

"What's happening?...How did you end up hitching a ride with Mr Suppasit?" She asked.
