[T/N] I apologize for grammar mistakes and incoherencies
Chapter 12.
The sound of Kamol's car brakes were loud as the white sedan swept over the front, causing Kamol's car to come to a standstill. The white car also quickly stopped by the side of the road.
“I'll go down and see for myself, boss.” Rut spoke up.
“Be careful.” Kamol replied as he picked up a gun hidden in the passenger compartment behind the driver for emergencies before he saw a young woman and a young man walk out of the car with their hands saluted. I'm very sorry Rut.
Before Rut waved away and drove him back to Kamol's car.
“What's up?” Kamol asked.
“It's nothing, just those two kids arguing in the car so they can't drive carefully.
So, I dismissed it for nothing.” Rut said.
“Um.” Kamol responded with the gun compartment closed, as usual, Kamol's life was surrounded by enemies he had to protect and always be prepared for. When the said car has driven away. Kamol then had his underlings drive on to go home.
Tru…. Tru…. Tru.
Rut's phone rang, and the young man picked it up and answered the call.
“What?! Alright, I'll tell the boss that's all.” Rut spoke with a strained voice.
“What else?” Kamol asked.
“Our man in charge of the S pub said, the pub was set on fire.” Rut said back. In addition to the arms trade. Kamol also has several pubs and some even have rooms for high-end gamblers.
“Why are people trying to burn my business these days? They couldn't do anything else?” Kamol complained in a normal manner because he was quite used to this kind of thing.
“Do you know which ones they are?” Kamol asked back.
“I saw our people say that the CCTV in the alley behind the pub captured the picture.” Rut said.
“Well, let's take me to the S pub first, so I'll know which one it is.” Kamol spoke with a calm tone. Soon Kamol arrived at his pub. By the time the fire had been extinguished, the fire engine was about to prepare to return.
“Hello, Khun Kamol.” The local police officer walked in to greet Kamol because the pub is in the center of the pub-goer area.
“Hello, Inspector Prasarn.” Kamol greeted me.
“I have done a preliminary examination of the crime scene. Fortunately, the fire did not spread much.” The middle-aged inspector said.
“And Khun Kamol, how are you going to deal with it?” Prasarn asked because he knew Kamol well.
“Let me handle this on my own, the police have enough work to do. It’s just an arsonist I wouldn't bother you.” Kamol said back, Prasarn smiled a bit because he already knew that Kamol would not let the police interfere in this matter.
“Anyway, don't make a big story and if there's anything I can help with, just tell me.” Prasarn spoke back.
“Thank you.” Kamol spoke before the police returned without having to write any diaries. Kamol walked into his own pub which was not yet time to open, Kamol's underlings were scattered throughout the shop.
“Hello boss.” The pub attendant immediately walked up to Kamol when he saw Kamol walk in.
“Tonight, you should assess the damage inside the shop and send all the documents to me at home.” Kamol ordered as he looked around.
“Yes.” The caretaker responded immediately.
“So, the camera still works right?” Kamol asked again.
“Yes. Welcome boss.” Kamol's underlings quickly lead Kamol to the office that hasn't been burned. He took out the notebook because the power was cut off the whole store for safety reasons, but the notebook still had backup power. Kamol's underlings manage to set up the device for a while before turning on the CCTV online and then back it up for Kamol to see. Kamol sat looking at the picture in front of him with a calm expression.
“Huh, payback is fast too.” Kamol smiles at the corner of his mouth and says mockingly when he recognizes the person's face in the picture.
“Khun Chen's underling.” Rut spoke because he remembered the same.
“Yes. I didn't think he would take this action so quickly.” Kamol spoke out without any shock or anger.
“He must be angry that boss made him lose millions. So, he came to find a way to cut off the way to make your money.” Rut assumed it.
“Are you sure? What a complicated plan would that old man come up with.” Kamol said before turning to the pub attendant.
“Let's just say that the pub is closed today, wait for the damage assessment then I will have the technician come to repair it and, in the meantime, keep checking and be more careful, understand?” Kamol said to his underlings in a serious tone.
“Yes.” The attendant responded actively before Kamol was going back to his car.
“Are you going home now or are you going to the office first?” Rut asked.
“Going home, I already told Kim that I'm going back soon.” Kamol said that and Rut secretly smiled a little. If it's normal, Kamol will have to go to the office and go home again since it's late at night.
...
“Auntie Nee, let me help you.” Kim walked into the kitchen. After returning from the mall in the afternoon. Kim went upstairs to work in his room before heading down to the kitchen in the evening.
“Don't do it, Khun Kim. Your body will stink with spicy oil” Auntie Nee said kindly.
“If it is smelly, I can take a shower again. It's not hard at all, Baibun can help you? Why can't I help?” Kim exclaimed. Auntie Nee smiled slightly.
“Baibun is just a resident and helped me work here, but Khun Kim, you are not.” Auntie Nee said.
“Don't you know? I want to help. I don't want to stay still.” Kim is still begging for Auntie Nee.
“But if Khun Kamol comes back and sees it. I'm going to get scolded.” Auntie Nee made an excuse as well.
“Khun Kamol himself wouldn't dare scold you, believe me! Who would dare scold you? I have to deal with him myself.” Kim said with a smile. Auntie Nee shook her head jokingly.
“Okay, okay. Then you go help Baibun pick the basil leaves.” Auntie Nee gave a reluctant expression when she saw Kim's stubborn child. Kim gave a big smile before going to help Baibun.
“What about Da and May?” Kim asked about the other two young ladies.
“Da and May are folding clothes in a small room behind the house, after a while they'll come into the kitchen.” Auntie Nee said back. Kim nodded in acknowledgment before continuing to help Baibun as Da and Mai came back to help. Kim asked Baibun to sit and talk to himself in the living room. The two of them sat chatting for a while, the sound of Kamol's car driving in and parked in front of the big house.
“Aren't you going out to pick up Khun Kamol, Phii Kim.” Baibun asked.
“Greet why? This is his house; he'll walk in by himself.” Kim replied, but his gaze turned towards the entrance to the living room.
...
“Kim?” Kamol asked for Kim after getting out of the car and Kom came to pick him up with Kit.
“He's inside, sitting in the living room with Baibun.” Kom responded.
“You already know about the pub, right?” Kamol asked Kom in a low tone.
“I know.” Kom accepted because the office called to inform everyone about the news.
“Um, we'll talk about this later.” Kamol replied before walking into the house with Kom and Kit following him. Kamol walked into the living room before smiling slightly when he saw Kim looking and when he saw Kamol walking in. Kim pretended to be facing the other direction.
Fot...
“Khun Kamol!” Kim turned to call Kamol in a fierce voice. When the tough figure sat down on the same sofa as Kim and kissed his cheek with nostalgia, in front of Baibun and his underlings. Baibun quickly bowed his head.
“What?” Kamol asked, pretending to be ignorant.
“What are you looking at? Baibun, sit down too.” Kim said in a grumpy voice but his smooth face turned pale. Kamol held Kim's waist.
“Did you see anything just now? Baibun.” Kamol turned to ask another young man sitting on the sofa. Baibun raised his head and shook his head nervously until the person who saw it couldn't help but smile at the cuteness of Baibun.
“I didn't see anything.” Baibun was quick to speak.
“Did you see? Baibun hasn't seen anything yet.” Kamol replied with a smile causing Kim to frown a bit.
“Wait a minute, I'll go get you some water, huh?” The young man said consciously before quickly getting up and walking into the kitchen, with Kom following along to help.
“Boss? Today...” Kit was standing there about to say something must have stopped. When he saw Kim's gaze that was stern because he knew exactly what Kit was going to say.
“What?” Kamol asked in a low voice.
“Khun Kim? I have to report to the boss. I'm really sorry” Kit spoke out because he didn't want Kim to be dissatisfied with himself either.
“Speaking, Kit.” Kamol was expecting.
“I mean, today Naai Danai harassed Khun Kim a little bit.” Kit spoke out, causing Kamol to frown.
“So, what did he do?” Kamol asked while turning to look at Kim's face. “I didn't do it. But I think Danai has to get some knowledge about how Khun Kim and you are related.” Kit said.
“Huh, he's brave enough to mess with my man.” Kamol said mockingly.
“He didn't have anything, didn't seem to care.” Kim interrupted.
“I don't care because you are my wife, no one has the right to mess with you.” Kamol spoke in a deep tone.
“So, jealous. If you don't want anyone to mess with me, don't have them locked up?” Kim said sarcastically.
“That's good too.” Kamol teasingly spoke back, causing Kim to look at Kamol’s gaze, but didn't say anything. Baibun walked out with Kom holding a glass tray.
“Hey Kom, have you changed your job to a butler?” Kamol teasingly asked his closest underlings.
“No, I was scared that Baibun would stumble and fall face down first.” Kom spoke out.
“I said I can hold it myself. Phii Kom didn't believe it.” The young man said softly before taking two glasses of water from a tray and placing them for Kamol and Kim.
“Thank you.” Kamol replied with a drink of water.
“If ready to eat dinner, when... go and call me at my office. Kim, I'm going to talk about work for a while.” Kamol spoke to Kim before nodding his head to Kom and Kit to follow him into the office. Before getting up, Kamol kissed Kim's cheek again, in front of Baibun and his underlings as usual.
“Khun Kamol!!” Kim could only summon Kamol with an indignant tone as Kamol kissed himself on the cheek in front of Baibun again, Kamol smiled before going to his office. Kim turned to look at Baibun embarrassedly, Baibun didn't dare to say anything either.
...
When it was time for dinner. Kim went to Kamol's office to call the other party for dinner. Arriving at the front of the office Kim knocked on the door politely and upon hearing permission from inside, Kim opened the door. The atmosphere in the office was a bit serious because he looked at the serious expressions of Kom, Kit, and Rut. As for Kamol, when he saw that it was Kim, he calmed down a bit.
“What's wrong? Kim.” Kamol asked.
“Auntie Nee has set the table.” Kim has spoken.
“Well, you guys go out for a break, let's meet at night.” Kamol spoke before the three underlings walked out of the office. As for Kim, it moved as if to follow Kom's group.
“Wait a minute, Kim.” Kamol called while sitting in his chair. Kim turned around a bit.
“What's wrong?” Kim asked back.
“Come.” Kamol called in a low voice. Kim breathed a sigh of relief but walked over to Kamol. Kamol pulled Kim into his strong lap and buried his face in Kim's thin shoulder while inhaling the aroma.
“Give me some energy.” Kamol told me back.
“If you want to recharge your energy, go eat. Sitting and kissing me doesn't bring back the energy.” Kim spoke this out but felt a little terrified when he saw Kamol's tired expression.
“I mean spiritual energy.” Kamol said with a smile while nuzzling Kim's white neck, sitting on his strong lap.
“Khun Kamol? I'm hungry now.” Kim, who shrugged away in goosebumps quickly, invited Kamol to have dinner together before Kamol changed his mind to eat Kim. Kamol smiled a bit because he was aware of Kim.
“Are you starting to get used to this house yet?” Kamol asked in a serious tone causing Kim to be a little quiet.
“How can I get used to it, since this isn't my house.” Kim gave a soft voice and turned his gaze the other way.
“Why not? My house is your house, it's the house of the two of us, Kim.” Kamol spoke out.
“Just now I heard you ordered your underlings to meet tonight, where are you going?” Kim immediately changed the subject.
“I'm going to have a look at my pub for a bit.” Kamol said it out loud because he would go to the pub again to see if there were any unusual incidents or if some Chen people were hanging around.
“Going to a pub? I can go with you.” Kim got bored and asked for it.
“No.” Kamol answered immediately, causing Kim to frown.
“Why can't I go? You make me stay at home, I'm bored, Khun Kamol.” Kim immediately argued.
“Today you went to the mall.” Kamol told him back.
“Also, I went to work and didn't go on a trip.” Kamol told some figures to understand, and Kim put their mouths together.
“Yes, I've offended you not here.” Kim spoke in a disgruntled tone as he pushed himself up from Kamol's strong lap, but Kamol hugged him tightly and didn't let him get up.
“Come on Kim, so don't be like this.” Kamol was confused when he saw Kim's expression. Kim remained silent, refusing to say anything more.
“If you go with me, you'll get even more bored.” Kamol made an excuse, to make Kim change his mind about not going.
“I'm hungry now.” Kim spoke without even turning to look at Kamol's face.
Kamol breathed a sigh of relief.
“So, let's go eat first then talk again.” Kamol told him back because he didn't want Kim to have a stomachache because he didn't eat on time. After Kamol let Kim free, his figure got up and walked out of Kamol's office without waiting for Kamol. Kamol could only follow behind. When he got to the dining room, he saw Kim already sitting there waiting.
“Auntie Nee? Where is Baibun?” Kamol asked Baibun, who often comes to eat with Kim and Kamol.
“Baibun has already eaten in the kitchen, Khun Kamol. Please, Khun Kamol and Khun Kim, be at ease.” Auntie Nee told him back. Kamol turned to look at Kim's face and saw that the other party was even more sullen, the person who would help the atmosphere at the table to ease up like Baibun wasn't at the table.
“Then serve the food, Auntie Nee.” Kamol spoke to her. Auntie Nee put food on a plate for Kamol and Kim to sit and eat quietly. When Kim could not eat half of the plate, he took a glass of water to drink.
“I'm full, excuse me.” Kim just said that before getting out of the dining table abruptly letting Kamol know that someone was playing a cold war against him.
“Uh...Khun Kamol? Khun Kim just ate a little bit.” Auntie Nee, who was standing not far away, walked in. When he saw that Kim had left the dining table.
“Auntie Nee, save some food for now.” Kamol said that before getting up and following Kim as well, leaving Auntie Nee to stand there staring in confusion. Kamol followed Kim towards the back of the house, seeing a thin figure walking towards the tiger cage causing Kamol to quickly run after him. Even though Kamol's underlings were around, Kamol still wasn't convinced.
“Kim!” Kamol called Kim loudly, causing Kim to turn around and look at him with still eyes.
“Where are you going?” Kamol asked again.
“Why? I can't go out for a walk?” Kim asked sarcastically.
“Where are you going?” Kamol asked in a tense voice.
“I want to go see Clemo and Cleam, can I? Or am I not allowed.” Kim asked him.
“But you only ate a little.” Kamol said worriedly, now Kim stopped walking and turned to look at Kamol's face. As for Kamol, he went straight to Kim.
“...” Kim did not say anything. Kamol approached before raising his hand to caress his cheek, Kim did not turn around.
“Don't sulk like this, I'm worried about you, you know.” Kamol said back in a low voice. Kim remained silent as usual.
“Sigh, ok you just can go right?” Kamol asked because he knew why Kim was like this.
“If you don't want me to go, I won't go.” Kim said it again, which Kamol knew that Kim was sarcastic.
“Okay, I agree, I can take you with me.” Kamol reluctantly said.
“No, I don't want you to be embarrassed.” Kim spoke in a flat tone. Kamol smiled at the corner of his mouth before pulling the thin figure into a hug and rocking back and forth.
“Don't worry! I let you go, naughty boy.” Kamol spoke in a soft voice causing Kim, who was hugged to his strong shoulder, to give a slight smile.
“But if you go, you can't stay away from me, okay?” Kamol made an offer. Kim nodded slowly.
“Then be a good boy and obey me.” Kamol said again.
“I know that.” Kim got the word out before Kamol slowly pushed Kim's thin body out and Kim quickly adjusted his expression to remain calm.
“So, can we continue to eat? You only ate a little bit.” Kamol said with concern.
“I want to go see Cleam and Clemo first, can I?” Kim asked. When he achieved his goal of getting Kamol to take himself to the pub tonight too.
“What do you think you want to see? Aren't you scared of him pawing?” Kamol asked.
“I still can't see them clearly here. I've said that many times, but your underlings won't let me in.” Kim spoke out.
“And besides, will you allow me to be mauled?” Kim was intercepted. Kamol shook his head and smiled.
“Okay, I'll show you around.” Kamol told him back, causing Kim to smile a bit before Kamol took Kim's hand to follow him. Upon entering, Kamol had Kim stand away from the cage and Kamol himself walked towards the metal cage.
“Clemo, Cleam.” Kamol called the names of the two tigers before giving a signal, with Kim standing looking excitedly, two white Bengal tigers walked towards the edge of the cage, where Kamol stood.
“Khun Kamol? Shouldn't you be backing away?” Kim quickly asked when he saw Kamol standing in the same place. Kamol shook his head smiling, the roar of the two tigers resounded in their throats.
“They are my pets, have you forgotten Kim?” When Kamol finished speaking, he put his hand into the cage. Kim had almost cried out. He saw that a tiger was bowing to Kamol calmly stroking its head. The other one lay down with his head leaning against the cage where Kamol's legs were standing right there.
“Slowly walk in, Kim.” Kamol called. Kim stood hesitantly.
“I won't let them do anything to you.” Kamol spoke again when he saw Kim's expression. Kim took a deep breath before slowly walking towards Kamol. Kamol reached his other hand to hold Kim's thin waist and moved a little closer.
“This one's name is Cleam, he is smaller than Clemo.” Kamol talked about the one he was stroking his head, the expression of the two tigers, completely different from when Kim met the first day.
“You look into his eyes, Kim. Look and tell him that you are not going to hurt him.” Kamol said this before rubbing Cleam's head with his hand, pulling the hairs so Cleam looked up at Kim. Seeing the stranger, Cleam growled in his throat but not too loudly and Kim slightly flinched.
“Don't let them know you are scared of them, Kim. Keep calm.” Kamol taught him again. Kim took a deep breath and looked into Cleam's eyes, who were staring hard at Kim with a roar. Kim looked at Cleam from his subconscious that he will definitely not hurt him. Kim was quite excited and wanted to touch a tiger like this for a long time. Kamol had let Kim stare into Cleam's eyes for a while before Kim could sense that Cleam's eyes had become lighter than the first and the growl in his throat had disappeared as well. Kamol gave a satisfied smile.
“Reach out, use your eyes to tell him that you want to touch him and you will touch him with tenderness.” Kamol spoke again. Kim immediately did as Kamol said and his thin hand slowly reached toward Cleam. Kamol turned to look at Clemo who was roaring with harsh eyes so that Clemo would not do anything to Kim, while Kim was building a relationship with Cleam. Kim slowly moved his hand towards Cleam...
Fup...
Kim's smile instantly widened as he placed his hand on Cleam's head without Cleam showing any resistance. Kim gently stroked Cleam's head then turned to Kamol who was wrapped around his waist.
“Khun Kamol, look! Cleam allowed me to hold him.” Kim said this with a really happy smile at Kamol.
'Looks like, you are going to be a better link for me and Kim than I thought Cleam.' Kamol secretly thought to himself.
TBC.
Chapter 13.
“Do you like it, Kim?” Kamol asked. Kim nodded with a smile and his slender hand moved along Cleam's face and scratched his chin like a little cat.
“If you like it, you have to take care of it, love it and keep coming to it every day, okay? If you can approach it without me supervising it. Alright, I'll try and let you feed it too.” Kamol said it again, causing Kim's eyes to sparkle with satisfaction.
“Really? You really want me to try feeding it.” Kim asked like a kid who found something he liked. Kamol nodded.
“So, I'll come to him every day.” Kim spoke out without realizing that his words were like promises and bound him here, at Kamol's house.
“What about Clemo? Can I touch it?” Kim asked as he looked at Clemo who was lying still and seemed to be harder to get than Cleam.
“Clemo is quite jealous. But it will not be and you'll be able to feel it as if you were touching Cleam.” Kamol said it again as he reached out and stroked Clemo's head, which was now calm without a threatening growl, making Kim want to stroke some. But he still doesn't dare to Clemo.
“And like this. If I come to them often, will Clemo slap me?” Kim asked out of curiosity.
“Isn't it? Because you can touch Cleam, then Clemo trusts you to some extent?” Kamol said again. Kim nodded as he looked at Clemo who was licking his fur.
“I really want to hug him; the fur is soft too.” Kim said his hand and kept stroking Cleam's chin non-stop.
“Keep it first... Make it closer to you, I'm sure you'll be able to touch it.” Kamol said in a serious tone.
“So, you can hug him?” Kim asked excitedly, in other words, Kim had completely forgotten about the previous argument with Kamol.
“Okay.” Kamol replied.
“Then hug him for me to see. I wanted to know how they would act.” Kim spoke again.
Mmm...
“= =.” Kim.
“Khun Kamol? Can you let me hug Clemo and Cleam? You didn't let him hug you.” Kim spoke softly as Kamol raised both of his arms to embrace Kim.
“Ah? really? I thought you wanted me to hug you again.” Kamol said with a smile. Kim rolled his eyes knowing full well that Kamol understood what Kim said just teasingly and flirtatiously hugging Kim.
“What's up?” Kim asked again.
“So, you have to wait outside.” Kamol told him. Kim nodded before Kamol led Kim standing slightly away from the cage and walked towards the entrance to the cage. Kim stood and watched Kamol unlock the large iron cage and walked inside with the door closed. As soon as he saw Kamol walking into the cage, Clemo and Cleam immediately walked toward him. Kim stood and watched, fearing that the two tigers would not cooperate with Kamol because they were known for being wild animals, with predatory instincts. Kamol walked slowly toward the two tigers, his eyes fixed and steady, watching the two tigers' every move. As Cleam was the first to walk up to Kamol, Kamol knelt on one knee and raised his hand to caress Cleam's head as he approached, followed by Clemo who came to a stop next to Kamol. Kamol gave a small smile and began to embrace the two tigers alternately as they stroked the body and head of the two tigers, Kim stood there staring at the picture in amazement. Kim is watching Kamol hugging and playing with two big white Bengal tigers. Seeing Kamol among the two tigers makes Kim feel that Kamol is someone who is formidable and with the zodiac sign of the power spread around Kamol himself, it's no wonder why. All of Kamol's underlings are obedient, respectful, and loyal to Kamol. Kamol looked at Kim standing outside the cage before giving him a smile.
Duk, duk, duk.
Kim's damned heart was beating uncontrollably, and hot steam spread across his face. It felt like he was playing with fireballs and his heart and abdomen were tingling. Kamol was standing inside looking at Kim with his brows furrowed together before walking out of the cage and returning to Kim.
“What is it? Or that the weather is hot? Your face is red, Kim, I think we'd better go home first, it's getting colder now.” Kamol spoke out because he noticed that some of the figure's face was flushed red.
“Oh...um.” Kim responded with a nod to Kamol's invitation and a strong figure wrapped around Kim's thin waist to return to the house.
“Let's wait until tomorrow to find these two again.” Kamol told him back. Kim nodded without saying a word.
“You, are we going to eat?” Kim asked when he realized that Kamol had just eaten dinner for a bit and had to get up and follow himself.
“Isn't it? Usually, my dinner is at 20:00, I eat now because I want to eat together with you. By the way, will you continue to eat?” Kamol asked back, Kim shook his head.
“I had some snacks with Baibun before you came back, I'm still full.” Kim replied.
“So, who told me when in the office that he was hungry.” Kamol teasingly asked him, Kim looked innocent.
“Who? what? Are you messed up?” Kim's deceit made Kamol smile lightly in his throat before he led Kim into the house. Kim chose to go to the cinema in the house, with Kamol sitting next to him all the time. Kim had begun to feel more relaxed, not the same awkwardness as when he first joined Kamol.
...
“Are you sure, Kim? That you want to go with me.” Kamol asked again just to be sure after both Kim and Kamol got dressed around 10pm.
“Eh, Khun Kamol. I said go go go.” Kim said to come up when Kamol moved as if not wanting to let Kim go.
“Okay, so don't act as if you are upset with me like that! I'm just asking, in case you are sleepy and want to take a nap.” Kamol said when he saw that Kim started to look at Kamol with his eyes upturned.
“I'm not upset.” Kim argued and looked at himself in the mirror. Kamol smiled at the corner of his mouth before walking in and hugging Kim behind him and kissing his cheek lightly. “Don't go away from me, you know? You are so cute today, so cute that I don't want anyone to look at you, did you know that?” Kamol said that his nose was snuggling in the corner of Kim's back neck. It even got goosebumps and shrugged and ran away with excitement.
“I know, huh...don't...besides, are you complimenting me if I'm better looking?” Kim talked to him and warned Kamol as well.
“Be it handsome or cute, it's only you.” Kamol told him back, his face became smoother and reddish with a thought of hating Kamol in his heart. Even though Kamol is almost 40 years old, he still looks handsome, smart, and mature, and makes Kim feel like a little boy walking next to Kamol.
“I'm not lost with your compliments and can we go now? By now your underlings have waited until they are bored.” Kim spoke up.
“Let's go.” Kamol replied before taking Kim's hand and walking them out of the bedroom and downstairs together. Kamol's underlings are waiting and ready and preparing the car as well, Kom walked to open the door for Kamol and Kim to sit before Kom himself went up to sit with the driver as usual.
“Khun Kamol? I've said to ask many times already. Why can't you open the car door yourself? That's why your underlings have to come and open it.” Kim spoke with a loathsome voice, causing Kom and the driver to almost burst out laughing.
“I can open the door by myself. But ask my underlings themselves, why did it have to come to open it for me.” Kamol told him with a calm expression that he didn't get angry at what Kim asked like that.
“Kom, answer my wife! Why did you keep opening the car door for me?” Kamol also pulled Kom into the conversation.
“We are willing to take care of you even the smallest things like this, Khun Kim.” Kom answered in a serious tone. Even though Kim is younger than Kom, Kom is willing to learn from Kim Khun because Kim is also his own boss.
“Huh that's a very disgusting answer.” Kim said that it wasn't too serious causing Kom and Kamol to smile a bit. The three cars were driven out of Kamol's home territory. With Kim and Kamol sitting in the middle, the three cars drove straight to Kamol's pub in another pub-goer area not far from the pub that was set on fire. After traveling for a while, the three cars turn to park at the back of the shop at the VIP parking lot.
“Khun Kamol, is this your pub?” Kim asked as soon as he saw where Kamol had taken himself.
“Yes, it's been open for a long time? Why?” Kamol asked back.
“Nothing, just I used to bring clients here and I used to visit with my juniors in the office often, just didn't know it was your pub.” Kim spoke out.
“Really? That means I and you may have met here before.” Kamol spoke up. Kim nodded before Kom went down to open the car door for Kamol. As for the side where Kim was driving, it came down to open as well.
“This time later, you don't have to. I can open it myself.” Kim spoke to the driver.
“I'm willing Khun Kim.” The driver said back causing Kim to shake his head casually that Kamol's underlings are difficult to speak like Boss is not wrong. Knowing that Kamol had arrived, the attendant quickly came out of the back door to welcome him. Kamol introduced Kim to his caretaker before taking Kim inside, where he could go straight and go up to Kamol's private lounge without going through the shop. The music from inside the pub that supports the nightlife can be heard as Kim followed Kamol holding Kim's hand all the time. Kim looked around curiously.
“Now, are there many pub-goers coming?” Kim asked.
“There must have been a lot, it's already around 11 p.m.” Kamol replied before leading Kim into the lounge, some of Kamol's underlings followed in and some were scattered outside like Know the duty.
“Would you like something to drink?” Kamol asked a thin figure, who had now turned away from Kamol and walked towards the large glass pane with interest.
“Anything.” Kim answered without turning around. Kamol then turned to order drinks with his underlings before walking towards Kim standing with his hands on the glass and looking down in amazement.
“Khun Kamol, here you can see the inside of the pub all over, you can see the mezzanine.” Kim spoke. Seeing that this room was able to look at the atmosphere inside the shop thoroughly. Now, the crowd is almost full, both the ground floor and the mezzanine are crowded with pub-goers occupying tables and spaces.
“Um, I did this just to see what's going on inside the pub too.” Kamol responded with a loose embrace of Kim's waist and stood looking at the pubgoers. Kamol could feel that Kim was starting to talk and accept Kamol more than ever before.
“But if you are from downstairs, you can't see this because I remember I used to look up at the glass pane here and I wonder why it was built?” Kim spoke out.
“It’s a one-side mirror.” Kamol replied before Kamol's underlings brought in the drink. Kom has arranged to make a drink for Kamol.
“Khun Kim, what's a good mix for you.” Kom asked.
“Soda water.” Kim responded while turning his attention to the picture below. Kom immediately arranged for the mix.
“Wait a minute, you stay here, Kim. I'd like to talk to the manager about work first.” Kamol spoke after one drink.
“Yes.” Kim accepted before Kamol nodded to Kom and then let Kit be Kim's friend in this room. Kamol has gone to talk about work and ask the enemy if anyone is messing or doing something sneaky at his pub. After talking for an hour. Kamol walked back into the lounge again and found Kim playing games on his phone.
“Are you bored?” Kamol asked. Kim looked up and shook his head before putting his phone in his pocket.
“Khun Kamol. You are good, may I suggest something?” Kim spoke up. Kamol raised his eyebrows suspiciously.
“So, come on.” Kamol replied before Kim got up and walked over to the glass pane looking out into the shop.
“Can you see the entrance to the restroom?” Kim pointed to the entrance to the client's restroom.
“Hmm.” Kamol responded as he looked at where Kim was pointing.
“What would you say? If I think you should move the customer's tables from the entrance to the bathroom. Then there will be some people in the pub waiting to stand there. And this will leave a space for people to walk in easily. But most important, those at the innermost table near to the bathroom, if no one pays attention, you will never know if a man is sneaking into the women's restroom or a woman sneaking into the men's restroom. Well, there are indeed a lot of pubgoers going in and out of the bathroom and there are always cleaners cleaning them. But do you know that if someone may think of doing something secretly in the bathroom, who would know and go to stop it?” Kim spoke in a series of words that made Kamol a little stunned.
“You can disagree, but I think this place is quite classy. It wouldn't be good if there were these sexual things happening in the pub’s bathroom. I don't know, I might be overthinking.” Kim said to himself and worried himself until Kamol couldn't help but smile. As for Kom and Kit, they only stood with a slight smile.
“And why do you think someone would do something like that in the bathroom?” Kamol asked back.
“Well, just now I saw a man and a woman walking out of the men's restroom together! If I'm not mistaken.” Kim told him back, but he was quite confident because at the entrance to the bathroom there is a light that illuminates the entrance to the bathroom.
“Aside from the area in front of the bathroom. Is there anything else that needs to be fixed?” Kamol asked again with great feeling that Kim is starting to play a role in Kamol's life and business little by little. Kim could have looked at things in more detail and depth than Kamol had. As for the entrance to the bathroom,
Kamol hadn't thought of this. But it's true as Kim said if people are doing things
in the bathroom often without being caught. It's going to be a buzz among pubgoers and it might also make the restaurant's reputation go downhill like other lower-level pubs. This pub in Kamol is classified as a luxury pub, but that's the level of consciousness the visitor has to Kamol may not know.
“What else needs to be fixed? Well, as far as I can see, there's nothing. In addition to the things I said just now, I might have thought too much about this myself.” Kim said this while turning his head to look at Kamol before furrowing his brows.
“What's your smile? Hey, I'm talking about your pub problem.” Kim asked.
“I smile because I'm glad.” Kamol told him back. Kim still looks confused.
“What are you glad about?” Kim asked back.
“I'm glad that my wife is taking part in taking care of me and taking care of my business.” Kamol spoke out, causing Kim to pause to think that he had drifted into taking care of Kamol's Kit.
“Uh...I'm just talking, not caring as you said.” Kim spoke indifferently and went back to sit on the sofa with a glass of wine to cover up.
“Huh, Kit, did you hear what Kim said?” Kamol laughed in his throat and asked his underlings.
“Yes.” Kit responded.
“Then tell them to take care of what Kim said.” Kamol immediately ordered the work.
“Yes.” Kit bowed his head to accept the order before walking out to order immediately. Kim glanced at Kamol for a bit before avoiding Kamol's gaze. Kamol sat down next to him. Kim then put down the glass of liquor Kim was holding. “Drink slowly, I still don't want to carry my wife back in a drunken state.” Kamol teases.
“I didn't drink much.” Kim said in a low voice before turning to Kamol.
“Uh, Khun Kamol. Can I go down there?” Kim asked.
“There are a lot of people.” Kamol told him back.
“I want to go down and see the atmosphere here.” Kim spoke again.
“So, I'll take you down and sit at the drink bar.” Kamol said. Kim gave a satisfied smile.
“Okay, let's go and sit there.” Kim told him back. Kamol then ordered Kom to clear the area in the drink bar before taking Kim down. While taking Kim down for a walk, Kamol will always hold Kim's hand as usual. After opening the door to go into the interior. The fun dance music can be heard when in the lounge. It's quite muted, the music can only be heard faintly. There were several pairs of eyes looking at Kamol and Kim curiously and curiously because someone was following him, the bartender immediately raised his hand to Kamol and Kim before arranging to mix drinks for Kamol and Kim who was sitting on a chair in front of the bar counter. Kim sat and watched as the other pub-goers continued to sway softly to the fun music. Turning to look at Kamol, he saw that Kamol was sitting with a fierce face.
“What's wrong? Khun Kamol. Your face looks like you did merits and did not get good luck.” Kim leaned forward to ask in Kamol's ear because the music in the pub was quite loud. When he heard Kim ask, Kamol leaned forward to give Kim a reply.
“Did you know that many people are looking at you with sweet eyes? It's because of this that's why I don't want you to come.” Kamol's voice was dark so Kim knew that the reason Kamol's face looked fierce was to block the people who turned to look at Kim with interest.
“Nonsense, Khun Kamol. Who do you think would dare approach me? Look, I have you sitting in front of the looking giant and beside me. Kom and Kit are standing like a giant Wat Chaengkum near us, whoever would dare to come and cause problems are crazy.” Kim said back to him. Kamol smiled slightly and shook his head at Kim's comparison. But in any case, Kim saw both girls and boys. Turning to look at Kamol no less, with a calm and powerful appearance like Kamol, there are always people who want to get to know each other. After sitting and watching the atmosphere for a while. Kamol then invited Kim back at around 2am, reasoning that he didn't want to take him back with the pub closed because pub-goers had to drive out. It would cause traffic jams and chaos for a while, which Kim agreed to return. But it's good because it's starting to get sleepy as well.
“Are you sleepy?” Kamol asked as he led Kim out to the back of the pub with his underlings.
“A little.” Kim said back but his eyes started to open and Kamol shook his head, smiling at his stubbornness. Sleepy like this, even when his eyes are closed, he's very sleepy, and Kim still says a little.
“The drivers are those who did not drink alcohol.” Kamol asked the people who had to drive all three cars after getting out of the car parked in the back, Kamol's henchmen who came along. Kamol could only give each person a small drink, but those who were to be driving Kamol would forbid him from drinking.
“Didn't drink, boss.” The three drivers spoke out. Kamol nodded before taking Kim into the car, with Kamol still standing outside the car.
creak.
There was the sound of a car coming in and parked at the entrance road at the rear parking lot where Kamol was parked with a loud car brake causing Kom and Kamol's henchmen to come closer to their Boss.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of three guns rang out causing Kamol's underlings to quickly dodge into the side of the car.
“You get in the car fast.” Kom spoke to Kamol. Kim, who was about to fall asleep in the car, woke up in shock.
“Khun Kamol! What happened? Where are you?” Kim immediately asked for Kamol. Just like Kamol moved quickly into the car.
Bang!
The sound of gunshots from Kamol's underlings fired against the car, Kamol pulled Kim into a hug and took out his own gun. But fortunately, Kamol's car was bulletproof so Kamol wasn't too worried about the other party going to shoot at Kim because the car was immediately driven away, and many of Kamol's underlings ran along the road.
“Boss, how are you?” Kom bent down to ask Boss himself in the car.
“I'm nothing. OK, so they are gone?” Kamol asked in a tense voice.
“Yes, it's as if they didn't want to directly attack them as if they only intended to threaten.” Kom spoke up after a quick assessment of the situation.
“Who shot whom? What happened.” Kim was shocked and asked.
“Nothing, you wait in the car first. I'll just go downstairs and talk to the crew for a moment then I'll be quick to take you home.” Kamol told me to move as if to get out of the car, but Kim panicked and hugged Kamol's arm.
“No, I'm going to go down with you too.” Kim groaned in his composure.
“It's safer to stay in the car, Kim.” Kamol said in a darker tone.
“No!” Kim made some noise at Kamol.
“Let Khun Kim come down sir, they probably won't come back. I think it's really just a threat.” Kom told him back. Kamol let out a sigh before letting Kim get off the car, Kamol stood beside the car. With Kim standing beside him as well, Kamol's underling followed another car and walked back toward him.
“Did you see the registration number?” Kamol asked.
“No, but in the pub, we have a camera installed in front of the road so we can look at it from there.” Kamol's underling told him back.
“Boss, do you think it's Chen's?” Kom immediately asked.
“Who is Chen and what did you do to make him angry to have to shoot and threaten you like this too.” Kim immediately forced himself to get up.
“It's a business matter.” Kamol just told Kim that it made Kim feel a bit irritated that Kamol acted like he didn't want to say much to Kim.
“Kom, tomorrow you contact Dai for me, saying I'll leave Kim with him for a few days.” Kamol said this, causing Kim to quickly turn to look at Kamol's face.
“Why do you have to leave me with Dai? I'm not an item that you think you want to and can leave to anyone!!” Kim immediately yelled out. when heard.
TBC.
