The CEO and his intern

Chapter 3: Why me?

"I am sorry" Gulf quickly took out his handkerchief and tried to get rid go the food from the other party and to his surprise his hand was shoved away

"Don't touch me with this disgusting cloth" he said in a rude and commanding voice.

A person next to him was about to say something when he held his hand up and silenced him with his look

Am I screwed, will I be kicked out from my internship, he looks like a higher official, damn its all over if its one of our partners.

"I am sorry" Gulf repeated again with utmost sincerity in his voice

"Name and employment number" the man with piercing gaze stated

"Huh" was all Gulf said cause he knew this was the end

"Don't make me repeat" the voice commanded

"I am sorry" Gulf repeated hoping that it would help him escape

"I don't have time for you" the man's voice was now irritated like he didn't like to wait.

"Gulf Kanawut ," Gulf stated, "intern, sorry" he continued in the lowest voice possible. He had his fingers clenched so hard but at this point he felt no pain what so ever

"I can't believe the guts of an intern, spoiling my suit, how do you intend to pay me back" he said in a sneering voice "how about I cut your salary during your time here "

"Please don't" Gulf almost screeched "Anything but that".

All the people were watching their interaction in complete silence because they knew things were going crazy. No one has every dared to mess with this man and now this Gulf was going to be in trouble

"Anything, you said it" the man sneered as he walked away

Gulf breathed a sigh of relief, little did he know what was about to come. The food was all over his clothes and the floor. He texted Bright and told him that he will be late and then he realized that his palm was bleeding from clenching his hand so hard. His priority now was to get a change of clothes and food for Bright. He usually kept a change in his locker, so he went to change and headed to get food again. 

On his way he stopped at a high end store. This was his first time in such a store, with his current condition he wouldn't even fathom the thought of going into such a store, but today was the day and he entered. He looked for a few shirts the lowest shirt started at 20,000 bhat. His eyes almost popped out from his socket at the price. He could pay his bills, electricity, water for a month with that amount. 

He looked around the store and saw a sale corner, he smiled, that would lower the price and help him save some. The clearance sale didn't help him any better.. 9,500 bhat was the lowest cost that he could find, but what size would he buy. Being 184 cm that man was no taller than 188, Gulf estimated as they were pretty close in height, the other man being slightly taller. The store staff came over and asked if he would like some help. 

He inquired about different sizes. After finally deciding, he went to the cashier to pay the huge amount. Why was he doing that.... He though again and again, he didn't like owning to people, clear the debt then and there was his motto.... lets get this over with... he pulled out his wallet as the cashier beeped in the shirt code

"Sir, you are in luck today...... this shirt is on further reduction so you just have to pay 3000 bhat" the cashier smiled at Gulf

Gulf mentally scratched his head but proceeded to pay the amount. He thanked the cashier and headed to get food for Bright.

"What is the balance?" Inquired a stranger to the cashier

"6500 baht, sir" the cashier replied

"Here you go" the stranger said, handing the black limited edition card, stunning the cashier

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

Gulf then headed back to the company with food in one hand and the expensive bag in another. He went straight to Bright cause he knew by now Bright would be famished.

Bright gave him a weird look and inquired what was in the bag cause he knew Gulf inside out and he knew that was not for himself.

While they ate lunch, Gulf narrated the whole story of what happened after which Bright asked him just one question

"You are going to repay his suit with a shirt???"

"What else can I do? This shirt almost costed me my monthly intern salary" Gulf retorted back to his dear friend.
