Forth growls, "FUCK!!" He quickly opens the door and Forth, Pha and Kit come running into the room. Forth puts the food down onto the table and quickly comes to sit next to me on the bed. He starts rubbing my back and softly asks, "Baby, can you move? You have to get up and go to the hospital."

Forth gently pulls the pillow off my head and kisses my cheek. I grumble and sigh. "I can't move well but I guess I'm going to have to figure some way to be able to move around. Did you bring me some painkillers and food?"

Before Forth can get off the bed, Kit brings my food to the bed along with the painkillers while Pha brings me a bottle of water. As the sheet slowly fall down to my stomach as Forth helps me to sit up in bed, both Pha and Kit gasp in shock. My whole body from what they can see is covered in hickeys and bite marks.

Pha couldn't help but say, "I think you celebrated a little too hard last night, Ai'Beam. Does Forth's body look the same as yours?"

I glance over at Forth and all you can see are a few hickeys on his neck, but you can't see the scratch marks on his back or all the hickeys and bite marks on the rest of his body. I smile to myself and I just nod my head yes.

Kit seems upset, but I can't figure out why. Kit huffs, "What is it with you and P'Yo? Are you two both beasts in bed or what?"

Pha and Forth in unison chime, "YES!!"

I just act like I didn't hear that, and I begin to eat my food.

I tried my hardest to walk normally but I can tell that everyone knows that I'm hurting. Luckily there isn't much walking today or the doctors just took mercy on me.

We were over half way done with our lesson today when the group took a small break. I was leaning against the nurse's station trying to find a comfortable spot when one of the nurses jokingly asks, "N'Beam, what is wrong with you today? Are you hungover from all the partying last night? We saw your picture online this morning. I couldn't believe that you guys were at that big event last night."

I wince as pain shoots through me when I try to turn and look at her. I mumble, "Not a hangover but too much celebrating."

One of the younger doctors, who hasn't been in the hospital to see what has happened this week, chuckles, "Not a hangover, right? What did you do? Try to dance too much and fall on your ass?"

Pha studies the doctor and nurse a little closer and says, "You don't work during the weekdays, right? You only work on the weekends."

Both the nurse and the doctor nods their heads yes. The doctor questions, "Why? Are we missing something? Can't we tease our nongs?"

Kit smirks, "You will find out soon. Don't worry."

About then another nurse started flirting with Pha. "I can't believe you were on stage with Mr. Panitchayasawad. Do you know him?"

Well, I can see that the weekday staff hasn't talked with the weekend staff. All the efforts that we went through to get the staff to not flirt with us have gone to waste since the weekend staff doesn't know anything about it.

The doctor seems perplexed, but he doesn't stop his teasing. "N'Beam, you can be truthful with us. We won't hold it against you. You have a bad hangover, right."

As I go to open my mouth, Forth's hand slides around my waist and he gently kisses me on the cheek. "Baby, you look like you're suffering. Do you want me to carry you around for the rest of your time here?"

The doctor and nurses are stunned, and I think all of their mouths just hit the floor. I smile at Forth and lean my head on his shoulder. "It will get better. Did you bring more painkillers?"

Forth pulls a packet of painkillers from his pocket and hands them to me as Yo put a bottle of water down in front of me. I quickly take the painkillers and the doctor finally has managed to find his voice again. "If not a hangover, what we were you doing to celebrate?"

I nonchalantly look at him and the nurses and bluntly state, "We fucked all night long to the point that I can barely walk this morning."

Forth quickly follows my statement with his warning. "I see that the weekday staff hasn't told the weekend staff anything, so I'll explain it. You are to stop flirting and chasing after Beam, Kit and Pha because all three of them are taken. We have already made it clear with several of the other shifts so don't bother trying or you may find yourselves without a job."

The doctor and nurses seem shocked, but they don't believe Forth. The nurse that was flirting with Pha a second ago huffs, "Yeah, right. No one is going to stop me from flirting with a good-looking man." She turns towards Pha and reaches towards his arm while she bites her lower lip. She is completely unaware that Yo is glaring at her. Right before she is able to touch Pha's arm, Pha is pushed back by Yo and Yo hisses, "Don't you even think about touching my man. If you saw the articles and news reports from last night's events, then you also know who I am. You should know that neither my dad, Mr. Panitchayasawad, or I will allow others to take what is ours. So, if you want to keep your job, you best stay away from my man."

All the staff immediately gasps and looks at each other like they are doomed.

Mr. Panitchayasawad POV (Yo's dad)

Which one of you is the jerk that threatens my son-in-law? I keep going through the resumes and photos trying to figure out which one it is. Well, Yo has already told us that the guy that I hire is a foreigner and that he is middle-aged but about half of the applicants fit that description. With WJP Hospital having such an amazing reputation and the best of everything, people from around the world want to become the next director. However, we know that the new director will be crooked, and I want to know just how far he will go. My gut is telling me that he is here for some of the hospital's money, or should I say my money, just like the previous director. What people don't know is that the previous director didn't get away with anything because I found it and took it back. I quietly had him arrested so it wasn't in the newspapers or on the internet and he is currently being held in a highly guarded prison waiting for his trail date. If I have my way, no one is going to see him before the trail. I want people to keep guessing.

I don't let people just walk away with something that is mine. Shoot, the staff doesn't know that I have people monitoring their movements and when I was notified that people were flirting and bugging my son-in-law and his friends, I had to just let my son know. How do they even think that they knew to go to the hospital? I have eyes and ears everywhere.

Knock. Knock.

Without looking up from the papers, I say, "Come in."

The door opens, and my head of security comes walking in. "Sir, did you need me for something?"

I clear my throat and I look up. "Yes. I have been notified that the new director is going to threaten my son-in-law, Pha. I need a complete background check on all the applicants and I want one done on their families too." I hold up several resumes and frantically shake them. "One of these jerks thinks he can try to take something from me and my son. I have a feeling that whoever the person is he has padded his resume. I need you to also cross check the pictures provided with the resumes to the actual pictures of that individual. If anything smells fishy, let me know. I'm letting the board hire the director since I don't want people to know that I own the hospital, but I need some info on the applicants."

I hand my head of security an envelope with copies of the resumes and pictures. "Yes, sir. I'll get right on that." He doesn't wait for any respond and he quickly turns and walks out of my office.

I mumble to myself, "Come out, come out, whereever you are. I will find you one way oranother."
