BEAM'S POV
The car stopped in front of the main building where most of the offices are located. The Mr. Driver and Grandfather's assistant went out and opened the door for us which I find so unnecessary. I stepped out of the car with Kitten on my arms and ran to grandfather side to help him.
"It's okay, little one..." I nodded. The staff lead us to his office which was at the top floor.
I can't wait to see P'Forth's reaction after being locked in their. I'm sure he is really annoyed by now. The door opened and P'Forth rush to us.
"Pops, that was so unfair..." He complained. His forehead had lines due to frowning, he even was sweating despite being locked in air conditioned room. I pulled out my handkerchief and walk to P'Forth to wipe his sweat for him. I heard Pops mumbled his side of story.
"You get to walk him to class and I just picked him up. What is so unfair with that, I'm just spending time with my grandson." Pops retorted which made P'Forth quite down. I know something is bothering him, and it really shows with that gloomy expression he is sporting.
P'Forth took Kitten from me and miraculously the pup didn't bother growling at him or biting him. When did those two became best friends? We followed him inside. I was at awe on how elegant grandfather's office is. The interior looks so expensive and we'll maintained.
It's just the three of us, now. Pops' assistant said they had an urgent matter in the company so they needed to be there. We ate in silence, but P'Forth kept on glancing at me. I held in my sigh, it's not really good to let it out in front of the meal. My grandfather doesn't even noticed it but I really don't know where this is going.
After the meal, Pops left saying he is going to check on the mansion, he meant his house where he doesn't stay. P'Forth insisted on walking me back to my class. Finally, were alone together.
As we walked to my faculty, I reached for his hand causing him to stop on his track. He face me with same stoic expression as he had earlier. I can feel my heart thumping hard, I'm kind of nervous to ask but I had to.
"P'Forth, is something bothering you?"
FORTH'S POV
I was taken aback by Bee's sudden query. He can't even lift his gaze to look at me straight in the eyes while asking. I sighed, lifting my hand to his chin making meet my stare.
"It's nothing you to worry about, Bee..." I told him. His eyes are glistening as if he was about to cry.
"But you---"
"I said, it's nothing, okay?!" I kind of, I mean I didn't raised my voice in purpose.
"Oh-okay..." This why I hated hiding things from someone especially Bee. He seemed fine but I know now something's already bugging him and he'll be overthinking, again.
As we walked, he kept quiet. He'll glance my way but then when I looked he'll avoid my eyes. I really hate this. I don't want to give him reasons to be distant from me. We reached his building. I saw Ming also dropping Kit at the classroom door.
We stopped at the doorway, he wasn't facing instead his eyes are darted inside the classroom. I held his hand.
"Bee, I'm fine and I didn't mean to raise my voice. I was just thinking. Don't mind me, okay?" He looked up to me and nodded but I can clearly see it wasn't enough to get rid of his thoughts, already.
"We'll talk about this, later. For now, focus on your classes. Make P', proud na..." Again, he nodded but didn't say anything. He gave me a faint smile.
I closed the gap between us and reached for the back of his, leaving a peck on his forehead.
"Will it be okay for you to wait for me at the headquarters after your classes?" I asked. My classes will end later than his, today.
"It'll be fine, P'Forth..." At last, he responded.
"Go inside..." I told him to which he abide.
I was on my way to the headquarters when Lam called. For awhile, I hesitated whether to answer it or not but I did, it may be important.
'Ai'Forthhhhh!'
I move the phone away from my ears.
'Why didn't you tell us that Beam is Mr. Vongviphan's grandson!!??'
He yelled from the other line and his disbelief was obvious. I can hear other hazers voice on the background. I didn't answer instead I ended the call and checked on the University's forum.
Pictures of me and Bee are flooding the page. There are Beam with Pops and Kitten, Beam and me walking hand in hand, me kissing Bee's forehead and etc. Really? I don't get how they managed having time to hover our lives with tons of works on their shoulders. But nonetheless, the captions used are really interesting.
'Everyone, Forth Jaturaphoom is taken.'
'The cutie is named Beam Baramee or should I say 'Beam Jaturaphoom'.'
'Beam Baramee Vongviphan?'
'Forth's adorable Bee is the sole heir of Mr. Vongviphan.'
'Are they for real?'
' Omo! My ship is sailing 🥰'
Those are some. I already predicted having a severe headache after this.
I can hear the noise from the inside of our headquarters. Are they that eager to know? I opened the door and all eyes are on me.
