-- Dad, that's what Nan asked me to tell him , Mac said to his dad, like as his lover told him.

Mac's father smiled slightly, then nodded. Ten himself was curious, but didn't think about it until the food was served. The three sat and ate together. Ten tries to please Mac's father and Mac.

-- P'Ten, eat. You don't have to put it for me, Mac said as Ten continued to put food on the plate.

"It's okay, I'm glad," Ten said, giving Mac a meaningful look.

Mac turned slightly to look at his father, who nodded as if to let the other side do it.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

One of the staff came to pour water for Ten, but the lid of the pitcher came off, causing the water to splash onto Ten's sleeve, but not much.

Hey what are you doing? are you so careless Ten suddenly shouted to the other side, causing other hotel guests to turn and look at him with interest.

The restaurant manager quickly approached.

What happened, Mr. Ten? the manager immediately asked because he already knew Ten.

The employee who spilled the water was quickly given a clean cloth.

-- I'll clean for you, said the employee with a bad expression.

Ten shook his hand in disgust.

No, do you know how much this suit costs? Good thing it's water. If it was soup, could you afford it? Ten asks irritated.

Mac and his father immediately turned to look at each other.

-- Oh, I apologize on behalf of the team, Mr. Ten. He just started his job. How can I clean your suit? asked the manager humbly.

"I don't see any problem Ten, he'll dry off because he didn't get too wet," Mac said hurriedly when he saw the face the pale boy.

These actions of Ten caused Mac to always think about his past self.

-- You can go now, get a mop to clean the floor, Ten said to please Mac, although he really wasn't happy with what had happened.

The young man who was scolded immediately raised his hand to pay homage to Ten and Mac and looked at Mac with grateful eyes. Mac gave him a gentle smile.

Keep eating, Mac said, seeing that Ten was still in a bad mood.

-- I will say this as a warning, if the staff does something careless like this, I will ruin the reputation of the hotel, Ten muttered.

Working people make some mistakes, Ten. I work part-time abroad and have made more mistakes than I can count. But everyone understands that I don't do it on purpose, Mac said calmly as he felt insulted by Ten.

That made Mac now understand the young man's feelings, how he feels when he accidentally makes a mistake.

-- Me too, replied Mac's father because he didn't like what Ten did either.

-- With this behavior, can we work together? I'd be uncomfortable, Mac asks again.

-- Actually, I didn't mean to do that.... I'll talk to Mr. Rangsan one more time, but for now, bear with him, said Mac's father, because he really didn't want to do anything else this time.

Mac sighed and turned to see the waiter spilling water on Ten. He had red eyes in front of the hotel.

- I will be right back.

Mac told his father and went in another direction. Mac went in time to see the young man walking towards the garden near the hotel. He followed him and saw the boy sitting and crying, but he did not cry out loud. It was more like a silent scream. Seeing Mac approaching, she quickly wiped away her tears.
