Bright looked up from his monitor to check out the source of commotion that somehow not far from the workstation he sits but he saw nothing so he just continues to work. All this number won't be filled in the row and column by themselves and the graphic won't be created for this afternoon meeting. Another usual day for Bright.

"Interesting,"

A soft voice, its like the man not really wants to bother him but still notice his appearance which made Bright stopped typing but wonder before he raised his head up to look the man, which not in front of him but stand beside him.

Now Bright feels a little amaze, even though he shouldn't because it's not weird in this company, era, the world that he living in, but he should know if there's a person that standing beside him, though he is not like those who trained he just should know. This person who smiles may be different than the regular, maybe he like the boss or his pa.

"Excuse me?"

"Metawin Opas-Iamkajorn, I will start working here. Nice to meet you," the man put out his hand for a handshake.

That's careless, if he one of those hunters, they should be not just given the hand like that. Bright wonder if this person a hunter, he looks far from one but again he remembers Perawat Sangpotirat, the boss's personal assistant. Looks surely can be deceiving.

"Vachirawit Chivaaree, nice to meet you. Welcome aboard," Bright shake his hand slowly.

The man looked at Bright fondly, like he studies him. Surely Bright should feel uncomfortable but there's none of its, even with the hand still tight together that seems longer than it supposed to be, Bright not feel the necessity to pull out.

When finally the man let go and Bright suddenly feel empty, he feel the cold behind his neck.

"Just too bad,"

"Excuse me?"

"You got talent, but I understand. You got your reason," the man put his hand on Bright's shoulder and give a little tap. A beep sound heard from the man's pants pocket. "Ah, that's my cue to leave you, besides looks like you busy. Sorry for bothering you. See you again, Bright," without waiting for the reply the man walk toward the elevator.

After a minute of so, Bright just remembers that he never give the nickname to the man.

Bright saw Chinrat Siripongchawalit and Chanagun Arpornsutinan waving from their table as he still queuing for his lunch, he already told the two to eat lunch first as he still needs to finish his work but look at their lunch still intact, seems those two is waiting for him.

"I already told you that I will be late, why you don't start eating?" Bright said as he put his tray in front of Mike's and took the seat beside Gunsmile.

"Actually I just finished meeting like 10 minutes ago and this guy said just wait for you," Mike answered and pointed Gunsmile.

"It's just weird only eat lunch together, besides I still want to have my head in its place," Gunsmile smirked which followed by laughter.

"Come on, that's only one time," Mike flinched, remember how his partner throw a fit when he saw the post on office forum about Mike and Gunsmile.

"Right, but the stink eyes still there until today,"

"Well, how bout you find yourself a partner then?"

"Well, how bout you shut up,"

The usual lunch banter between his two friends made Bright a little bit at ease, somehow since his meeting with that one Metawin Opas Iam-kajorn, there's something that made his heart feel tight but its not comfortable.
