31. One Last Chance...

Tuesday, 10.30 AM
             
                “Fool!!”

                 Kimmon's blood boiled in anger at being denigrated. He was burning up in shame. It was a different kind of pain for Kimmon, when the person he looked up to and whom he idolized, got disappointed with him. He was working hard every day. He was giving his best in each and everything. He took care of every single detail to prove himself. But all he got was a disappointed look from Tae.

                 “Who the fuck keeps such sensitive data in their phone? Do you even realize the seriousness of the situation we are in? Three days… we have just three days with us to expose Suchart and...  fuck!!", Tae walked to and fro in his office, "I don’t even know what to say anymore"

               Kimmon shifted uncomfortably on the couch in Tae's office, with his head hanging low.

               “I asked you to be careful. I told you to keep him distracted”, Tae stormed in annoyance, “Give me one good reason for giving your phone to him?”

                “I am sorry”, Kimmon mumbled clenching his fists.

                Tae heaved a sigh and sat across Kimmon on a single seater sofa.

                “What else did you have in your phone apart from the initial designs of our new project?”, Tae asked doubtfully.

                 “Nothing much, P’Tae. They are just initial designs… drafts, P’Tae. They won’t understand anything out of it”, Kimmon tried to tone down Tae’s temper.

               “Are you fucking kidding me, Kim?”, Tae snapped in anger, “Do you really think that they are as innocent as they look? Do not underestimate them, Kim. Those drafts which you are talking about has our new logo on it, dammit. It represents our joint venture. One look at that picture and Tee will start digging around for details. And soon, he will understand that it’s not going to be your individual launch, but it’s going to be our joint venture”

                “But…”, Kimmon stopped talking as Tae raised his hand and shut him up.

               "I just hope that they wait until I reach home. I don't want Tee to find out about our plans this way", Tae huffed pressing his fingertips on his temple, "Why did you even give your phone to him? Didn’t I warn you on how Suchart’s phone was hacked?”

               “I…  I…”, Kimmon swallowed hard.

               Tae raised his eyebrows in surprise, on seeing the guilty look on Kimmon's face.

               “You wanted to test him, didn’t you?”, Tae hissed.

                Kimmon nodded slowly.

               “Why? Didn’t you say that you don’t have feelings for him? Then why did you want to test him?”, Tae asked narrowing his eyes at Kimmon.

                “I still don’t have feelings for him”, Kimmon replied firmly.

               “Really? Are you sure?”, Tae scoffed.

               "Yes, I don't and I will never accept him. How dare he steal data from my phone? He even tried to cook up a pathetic story while giving me those puppy eyes. That sneaky little rat!!”, Kimmon exclaimed gritting his teeth.

              “Kimmon!!”, Tae called in a warning tone.

               “Why are you snapping at me? And what if I test him? Why are you getting so worked up now, P’Tae? Those two are the reason why are you staying away from your parents even after all these years. Those two are the reason why you had to leave the country years ago. Didn’t you ask me to approach Kit to take revenge on Tee? Then why does it concern you on what I do to him?”, Kimmon yelled in frustration.
