~Let Me Love You~

4. The Offer

Lam's P.O.V. ~

It is 6 p.m. on Sunday and I am again at the same bar. This time not for fun but for something important. I don't want to have a hangover and heavy head when I have to go to work on Monday morning. But here I am.

As soon as I entered the bar I can see Beam smiling, laughing, chatting with his customers and serving them drinks. In a way he reminds me of Forth. It's just that they both chose to put different masks to show to the world. Forth chose the cold and distant one while Beam the smiley one.

But eyes can't lie. I can see the pain and suffering in the eyes of both of them.

"Hello Sir.. It's not usual for you to come on Sunday. Something special today.?" Beam asked me cheerfully when i reached to him.

"Yeah.. kinda special. I want to talk to you about something. Can I have some alone time with you.? I will take just 10 minutes." I told him.

Beam's P.O.V. ~

The usual customer whom I never see on Sundays came and asked for some alone time so he could talk to me about something. What could it be.? I'm curious.

I'm a nobody why would someone want to have something from me. Well let's see what he wants.

"Umm.. ok sure Sir. Just wait on one of the couch and I will just come." I told him and he did what I said.

"Yeah.. So what do you want to say.?" I asked him as soon as I sat across him at one of the table in the bar.

"First.. Let me introduce myself properly. My name is Lam. I work for Jaturapoom Enterprises." He introduced himself.

"Ok Sir so.."

"Please call me Lam." He told me before I could finish my sentence.

"Ok so let me get to the point straight. Last night I heard you when you were talking with your friend on call. Not intentionally.. Sorry. But I heard you and I think you need a job. A part time job. So I'm here to offer you one." Lam explained to me in one go.

Job.? No one ever offered me a job before. I always wandered around for one. I wonder what kind of job I can do for him. I mean he sure works for a famous company. I'm nothing.

"I don't understand Mr. Lam.. What kind of job I'm capable of doing for you.?" I want to know.

"Please call me Lam and It's simple job. You just have to take care of one of my aunt. She is sick so we are hiring people to take care of her. Simply to be her side whenever she needs something. You know how it is for old people. You are a med student so you will know better about what medicine she takes and all compared to a normal person." Lam said.

I was just listening to him carefully without saying anything. I'm still not used to something like this.

"Yesterday we fired one maid because of her negligence and I need someone to fill her place. I know you have to attend you classes that's why I told you about part time. You can come from your university to her and be there until she falls asleep then you can go to your dorm. Just like you do here... Almost 5 to 11 p.m. But you have to leave this job at the bar for that. Don't worry the pay will be more than enough for you. You won't need this job." He explained to me.

Seriously.? Can it be true.? This job is like a dream come true for me. But what if I leave this job and they will fire me just like the others. There are so many things running inside my head. Should I tell him about my sexuality or should I hide.? The pay will be good I know. They are super rich.

" Umm Lam.. It sounds nice and I really like the offer but I want you to know something about me. I... I am.." Stop stuttering baramee and just tell him. " I am gay. I know my sexuality has nothing to do with the job but for some people It matters." I took a deep breath after telling him and started waiting for the answer.
