AN: Thank you so much dear readers... thanks for the 10k+ reads and 1.5k votes... 😭🤧 I am so overwhelmed by the response you are giving to this story. As I said before, this is a new genre for me and it took me a lot of courage to write this story.... There might have been boring chapters,... there may be plot holes in the story, characters may upset you or anger you... kindly be patient and forgive the silly mistakes from me....

Tuesday, 7.15 PM

                  Tae rotated his head in circular motions and pressed his fingertips on his nape. He scrunched his nose and removed the glasses from his eyes. He had been staring at the files for the past three hours, trying to finalize on the terms that he could agree, negotiate or deny from Suchart's proposal.

                  "Tired?", Nawat asked with a fond smile.

                    "No dad... I am good", Tae shook his head, stretching his arms, "Just want to loosen up a bit"

                   "Why don't you take a walk and bring me coffee?", Nawat suggested.

                    "Yeah, I will do that", Tae stood up from his chair and looked for his phone.

                    Tae moved the files away and took his phone, which was buried under the pile of files. He unlocked his phone and gaped at the sixteen missed calls from Tee and three missed calls from Copter. He dialed Tee's number immediately, only to be redirected to Tee's voice mail. Tae cursed inaudibly and dialed Copter's number next.

                   "Hello, P'Tae?", Copter answered the call on the first ring.

                     "Where are you?", Tae frowned, hearing the traffic noise at the background.

                    "I am out, P'Tae", Copter answered reluctantly.

                    "I can hear that, Copgi. But where exactly are you now?", Tae demanded getting worried.

                    "I... I am waiting outside a restaurant for P'Kim", Copter replied in a small voice.

                     "What? Why?", Tae asked surprised, which made Nawat perk up and listen to the conversation.

                      Tae noticed his father looking at him with interest and excused himself out of his room. He was too shocked when Tee informed him about Copter stealing data from Kimmon's phone that morning. He had wanted to go back to his condo from his parent's place, to check on Copter. But he had a few urgent things to attend to in his office, for the meeting with the board members. When he called Tee that afternoon after the meeting, he was informed that Copter was very upset and was sleeping without having lunch.

                       "He asked me out on a dinner date", Copter said fidgeting his fingers nervously.

                      'Why did he invite Copgi, if he wants to sever all the ties with Copgi? What's going on?', Tae frowned thoughtfully.

                     "Are you okay, Copgi?", Tae asked in concern.

                    Copter just hummed in reply.

                    "Copgi, hmmm... didnt I tell you this morning that there is going to be a few changes in our plan? So, can you cancel your date with Kimmon now?", Tae asked feeling guilty.

                     Copter remained silent while Tae tried to think fast to give another excuse to cancel the date with Kimmon. He didn't want Copter to meet Kimmon again and get hurt. He wanted to come clean to Tee and Copter first, and he was ready to accept their decision, whatever it might be.
