Gun walked back to his desk. He couldn't get the conversation he just had with
Mr. Kijworaluk out of his head. He didn't want to disappoint in any aspect in his field of work but this.... Becoming a babysitter was... Something else.He sat down in his chair and let out a heavy sigh. He picked up his phone and called Mean. Luckily the call was picked up. "Are you busy?"
"Not now. I thought you had to meet up with the Director?"
"I did, that's why am calling you..."
"Did something happen?"
Gun closed his eyes. "Not really, he came looking for me because he had a favor to ask."
"What was the favor?"
"He asked me to take his son under my wing, mentor him."
"Really?"
"Yes... And I don't know what to do..."
"OK... Are you busy right now?"
Gun looked around his office, trying to think of things he needed to do...
"No..."
"Come over and we'll talk about it..."
"Fine..."
He hung up and called in Lin.
"Sir?"
Gun stood up holding everything he had come in with. "Lin, am leaving early today. Anyone that calls, set an appointment for tomorrow. Okay?"
Lin nodded her head.
"Oh and Flok will pass by... Give him this folder. He knows what to do with it."
"okay Sir. Is that it?"
Gun nodded. "Yes. I'll see you tomorrow."
Gun walked out first then followed by Lin. She sat down in her raised chair then placed the folder Gun gave her in a box labeled 'To be collected'.
Only minutes later a tall slender male showed face. "Lin?"
His voice was soft. She didn't hear him. So he raised his voice, a bit. "Som Lin!?"
Her head pulled up quickly as he was scared.
"Aw Flok! Why did you scare me?"He smiled. "Am sorry Lin, I didn't mean to."
Lin rolled her eyes before pulling out the folder. "Here... Mr. Ranong said to give you this."
"Ah Yes. Thank you." He extended his arm and retrieved it. "Uhmm Lin?"
"Hmmm?"
Flok suddenly felt nervous. He always wanted to ask Lin out for lunch but never got the courage to do so. Today he had an opportunity.
"Would you like... Would you like to have lunch with me?"
Lin looked down to the documents on her desk. "Ahh... Am sorry Flok not today. Maybe another day? Tomorrow? Am just really busy right now..."
"Oh no... It's OK... Maybe another day."
He took a few steps back before turning to walk away...
