It was nearly quarter of an hour later when Kongpob felt Arthit calm down. He guided his Sunshine away from the pool and the resort building towards the gated area. Kongpob could see Wad standing  at the corner of the path, watching sternly. When the valet brought out Kongpob's car, Wad too ce to stand beside them.

Kongpob took Arthit's face in his hands and met the older man's red eyes. "Phii, let's get away from here, okay? I will take you to my special place. It's calm and serene, surrounded by nature. It's my private spot where I go if I want to just distress. Would you like that?"

Arthit looked at the business man unsure. Kongpob smiled, "It will just be us there, no people around..."

Arthit gave a small nod and Kongpob held open the passenger side door for him to climb in.

That is when Wad came forward, "Sir, may I have a word?"

Kongpob sighed but went to his friend anyway. Arthit tried to hear what they were saying.

Wad whispered when they were far enough from Arthit, "What are you doing? We have made all the arrangements here, I have taken care of the security and the privacy..."

Kongpob sighed, "We will just be going to the creed.. Hardly anyone is ever there. I'm sure we will be safe.."

The CEO made to go away but stopped at Ward's call. He rolled his eyes at his concerned friend, "Look he's not comfortable here, that is the best place to calm him down. It was stupid of me actually, I should have thought of that.."

Wad closed his eyes and shook his head as he too turned towards his own car. He knew arguing was useless. He immediately took out his phone to call for backup. He would then inform Em about their boss's reckless behaviour. The three friends were in agreement that Kongpob had been completely blindsided by this man who knew exactly how to seduce. His outfit tonight was proof enough.

Kongpob and Arthit were once again in the car, and Arthit looked and felt more calm, indeed.  The older man glanced at the businessman driving the car, "I'm sorry...I just. I don't know what came over me. It looked like an expensive place. I bet you had some arrangements made...but.. I'm sor.."

Kongpob just chuckled, "It's okay Phii. What's the point of this date, if both of us not comfortable? The place distressed you, and I would never want to stay in such a place."

"It's just..I.. I don't know..."

"Phii, you don't have to explain anything..." Kongpob gave the man a small smile and was pleased to see it returned, the cute dimple making its appearance. They both knew they were not yet at the stage where they could sahre their secrets of deepest fears. Kongpob only hoped that day would come soon.

It was silent for a while, Arthit once again enjoying the cool breeze. He asked, "What did he want? Your friend?"

Kongpob looked at the man beside him, "Oh, nothing. Just..just work stu.."

"Your security detail.."

The businessman chuckled, "Can I ever hide something from you?"

Arthit snorted and smirked, "Of course you can! You just have to be extra smart about it."

Kongpob shook his head grinning. "Jokes aside though N'Kong, if it's not safe, we shouldn't go there. I mean, nothing is more important than your safety right?"
