"Good morning khun kerkarai, please take a seat and make yourself comfortable" arthit spoke in a polite voice
Nodding, kerkarai took a seat, looking around the office, as if scanning arthit's cabin as he sweetly smiled
"Your cabin looks quite organized khun arthit" kerkarai commented
"You can address me by my name sir, you are the same age of my father and thank you for the compliment" arthit replied, bowing his head a bit
"You don't seem as cold as I was told you would be, from the sources of course" kerkarai said
"Its just that I highly respect you sir, I have always admired your work and you are a true inspiration for me" arthit replied
"Feels wonderful hearing such words from the CEO of today's biggest company in Thailand himself" kerkarai chuckled
Arthit smiled back in response
"Now, about the business, I'm very positive about giving our contract to your company, but there is this buisness rule I have, which you might need to follow as well" kerkarai informed
"Yes sir?" Arthit asked, his voice laced with curiosity
"You must have dinner with me and my family tonight, its my way of confirming a deal with someone, I hope you won't deny arthit" kerkarai replied, his lips curved in a fatherly smile
Arthit sighed, he thought of the rule to be something serious, but here he was, only inviting him to dinner
There was no harm in accepting the invitation for dinner if that could get him the contract he has been wanting since a long time
With that thought in his mind, arthit agreed, after having a cup of coffee in arthit's office while discussing a few more things with him, Mr kerkarai left

"Yes dad?" Kongpob asked, adjusting the files in the printer
"Come home a little earlier today, we have someone coming home for dinner" his father informed from the other side of the call
"Who?" Kongpob asked curiously
"Arthit, The CEO of Rojanapat corporations, I signed a business deal with him today" his father replied
Arthit? Dad signed a deal with him? And he is coming home for dinner? Kongpob thought
"Kong? Are you listening?" His father asked, not receiving any reply from him
"Oh yeah, yeah dad, I understand, I will come home earlier today" Kongpob replied
"Great" his father replied before hanging up
"Looks like the destiny wants us to keep meeting" kongpob whispered to himself before getting back to his work

"Arthit, are you going somewhere?" Loona asked, her eyebrows furrowed
"Yeah, I'm going at Mr kerkari's for dinner" arthit replied, fixing his coat
"But I told you that my friend is coming home today, since she couldn't come last time and I wanted you to meet her" loona argued
"Correction, you want me to meet her daughter" arthit replied, turning to look at his mother
Loon sighed, her head hung a little low as arthit's eyes softened
"Mom" he called
She hummed in response
"You know I don't like to talk about this topic right, after all, it isn't as if I am not happy without being married" arthit replied
"You are happy?" Loona asked, meeting him in the eyes
"As much as I can be" arthit replied, his eyes back to their usual self, cold
Loona sighed again, knowing very well that it was of no use to argue with him, if arthit has decided something, nobody can change his mind, though she could, and maybe that is why he chose to stay silent and believe that he could fix them

"Kong, would you help me in setting the table without causing any trouble?" Suruchi asked from the kitchen
"Can't promise" Kongpob replied, walking inside the kitchen
Suruchi glared at him as he grinned in response, taking the plates and spoons from her hands, he set them on the table, proceeding with the glasses and napkins
"Well well, its a rather lucky day, Kong didn't break a single plate" kerkarai teased his son
"I might have improve.." Before kongpob could finish his sentence they heard a click!
Turning towards the sound, kongpob's eyes slightly widened as he bit his tongue, he broke the glass, accidentally pushing it off the table
"It seems normal now" kerkarai laughed
Suruchi stomped towards the kitchen, bringing another glass and replacing it with the broken one while glaring at kongpob the whole while
Before suruchi could start scolding kongpob, they heard the bell ring and kongpob quickly pointed at the door making suruchi stay quiet
"It must be arthit" kerkarai said walking towards the door
_________________
Arthit rung the bell to the sutthalik's house, patiently waiting for someone to open the door
A minute or two later, the door pulled open as arthit found kerkarai smiling at him, as he moved aside, letting him in
"Good evening sir" arthit greeted
"Good evening arthit" kerkarai greeted back
Walking further in, arthit behind kerkarai, he led him straight to the dining room
"Well the dinner is prepared, let's have dinner first" kerkarai suggested as arthit nodded
"Good evening arthit" suruchi greeted
"Good evening ma'am" arthit greeted back
"Arthit, this is my son, kongpob" kerkarai introduced
Arthit's ears perked up at the name as he turned to where kerkarai directed, and his eyes widened
"You?" Arthit blurted out
"Hey arthit" kongpob replied, a small smirk playing on his lips
"You both know each other already?" Kerkarai asked confused
"Yes" "no" both replied at the same time
Suruchi and kerkarai exchanged looks, confusion written all over their faces
"He is a friend" "we met by an accident"
both spoke up at the same time again
"Let's have dinner first, you both seem confused, you can decide how you know each other later" kerkarai suggested
All of them took a seat on the dining table, with arthit beside kongpob facing kerkarai and suruchi
Exchanging small talks every now and then, they were having their dinner in a comfortable environment when arthit spilled a little curry on his coat, hissing at the dirt
"Its fine arthit, Kong will show you the washroom" suruchi said, eyeing kongpob
"Oh sure, sure" kongpob immediately agreed, as he grinned at arthit, who secretly rolled his eyes at him

"How do you feel meeting me here?" Kongpob asked, standing against the bathroom door
"Irritated" arthit replied as he wiped off the spot from his shirt with his napkin
"Oh come on, why do you hate me so much?" Kongpob asked
"I don't hate you, I hate people" arthit replied
Kongpob stared at him confused, when something clicked in his mind
Apple
"Or do you force yourself to, because you are afraid of getting attached and then broken again?" Kongpob asked
Arthit's hands froze, as he looked up at kongpob, to find him already staring at him
"Nonsense" arthit whispered, trying to let out a chuckle
Kongpob's eyes never left the others face, even when arthit had finished wiping off the spot, and was walking towards him
"I hate people, I really do" arthit spoke focusing on each word before he walked past him back to the dining room
Kongpob chuckled, staring at arthit's retreating back
Why am I so interested in you arthit? Kongpob asked himself
I purple you 💜
