But if one day news breaks out that the heiress of Orienna
is acting out and being reckless, I'll cut you off for good.
You haven't forgotten, have you?
There are people waiting to see us fall over this if we lose.
Just be careful with that guy.
Because we never know what Rachen might do next.
You're the first person who's made me feel like I want to take it seriously.
How about the two of us give this a try?
I'll be with you.
Hurry back, change clothes, and shower at my place.
It's getting chilly. You might catch a cold.
Let's go.
Aren't you afraid your father will see?
I'm not.
It's true my father's people are everywhere.
But here, I have more of my own.
You like using force too, don't you?
Only sometimes.
But, sometimes I like using a softer touch.
And when I do use a softer touch,
it's so soft that
you couldn't even imagine it.
You know, you always talk like this.
Let's go.
Didn't you say you brought me here just to change?
You're such a kid sometimes.
Wait.
But we're a couple now.
That's true. But…
this is my first time.
So what?
You're not expecting me to wait until our wedding day, are you?
Not exactly.
I just feel like…
even though we're together,
we don't really know each other yet.
I think
we should get to know each other better.
Alright then.
If that's what you want,
I'll go along with it.
So, what should we do?
Take a shower.
You invited me here to take a shower.
Come on, let's go.
You go first. I'll go after you're done.
Don't give me that look.
Because I know if we shower together,
it's not gonna end quickly.
Why wouldn't it end quickly?
Hey, when will you stop talking like this?
I really wasn't thinking anything.
I swear.
What about you? What are you thinking?
Go take a shower already.
Go, go on. Go.
Wait, Ms. Mae.
This is a bug.
You can use it when it's needed.
It's a way for us to dig up secrets.
Ms. Mae, think about where you can place it
so she won't notice.
MS. MAEVIKA
CALLING MS. MAEVIKA
Hey, can I get a shot of vodka?
Make it four.
Given the situation right now,
we each need two shots to handle it.
I know you don't want to be near me,
but we're not enemies.
More importantly,
our bosses aren't even scared.
So why should you be?
I'm not scared.
But either way, there's no reason for us to get close.
We don't have to be close.
I just thought, can't we at least be new friends?
I'm not looking for friends.
Really?
What kind of person lives without any friends?
Alright then.
We don't have to be friends.
We can just drink together.
It's on me.
I think
we can at least talk to each other.
Because we've got something in common.
What's that?
Well, we're both loyal subordinates.
We do whatever the boss tells us.
Because our boss treats us well.
And we've already given them our trust.
Enjoy.
Come on, let's dance.
I don't dance.
Come on. Let's dance.
Come on.
I said no.
Okay.
Are you coming or not? Huh?
-Come on. -I'm not going.
Enough, let's head back to the table.
Come on.
I'm not going back.
You're drunk. Let's go back.
I'm not drunk.
You don't believe me?
See?
Hey, hey.
Ms. Mae, where are you right now?
So, where are you, G?
I'm at the hotel bar.
Are we heading back yet?
You go back first.
I'll find my own way.
Ms. Mae.
G, trust me.
I'm safe.
That's all for now.
Hot chocolate.
It'll warm you up.
Thanks.
Don't worry.
I'll pick it up.
Thank you.
No need to thank me.
I wanted to.
And it's just a little thing
that couples should do for each other.
Come here.
I think we should change what we call each other.
Saying "you" and "I" feels too distant.
Then…
how about "baby" or "boo-boo"?
I've heard my friends call their partners that.
It's kind of funny.
No way. I can't imagine myself calling you that.
How about Ms. Ai and Ms. Mae?
That's what we usually call each other.
I just want to make it sound sweeter.
-Like how? -For example…
Ms. Ai is happy
to be with Ms. Mae.
Don't be so happy just yet, Ms. Ai.
Maybe Ms. Mae might not be as good as you think.
Ms. Ai doesn't like good people.
Ms. Ai likes Ms. Mae.
Only.
What's so funny?
Well, I just didn't expect
someone like Orienna's heiress
to say something so cheesy.
Are you bullying me?
Careful, it'll spill.
Hey, you,
get some tissues quick or it'll stain.
It's all over now.
-Hello? -You left your keys at the bar.
Where are you? I'll bring them to you.
I'm already home.
Just give them back to me when we meet. I'm not in a hurry.
But I want to return them now.
Send me your location.
It's fine.
LOCATION
Why did you leave early without telling me?
Here.
Hey! Hey!
Hey.
Are you okay?
Hey.
You're heavy.
Hey.
HAVE TO HEAD TO WORK NOW, BYE.
Turn your camera on.
-What? -I'm ordering you to turn it on.
As your girlfriend.
Fine. But we agreed, remember?
You have to speak to me nicely, Ms. Mae.
Come on.
Or I'll barge into your room right now.
Alright, Ms. Mae, you're so fierce.
What are you doing, Ms. Ai?
Why are you sweating so much?
And what do you think I'm doing?
I asked you, don't ask me back.
Are you working out?
Of course I am.
What did you think I was doing?
Nothing.
In that case…
you can keep working out, Ms. Ai.
I won't bother you.
Hello, Ms. Ai.
It must be something important for you to call me directly.
Don't you think I might just miss you sometimes?
Flirt like that and be careful, I might play along.
Then you'll be in trouble.
How many girls do you have in stock? I will take care of them all.
I don't have any girls in stock now.
Because I just got a girlfriend.
Hmm? Really? Congratulations.
Thanks.
Alright, let's get to the point.
I know you don't have much time.
You probably already know
that Orienna is joining the bidding for The Greater Duty Free, right?
Well, I'd like to invite you and Andromeda to work with me.
But there are some details that I think
we should discuss in person.
Would you have time to have a meal with me?
SO MANY MOSQUITOES
Put some ointment on. Why sit there when you know there are mosquitoes?
Hello.
Honestly, I wanted to take you inside to sleep.
But you were too big. I couldn't lift you.
So you just sat there letting the mosquitoes bite?
Yeah. But it's fine. I'll be fine soon.
What about you? Did you get bitten?
I tried to swat them away for you.
By the way, why didn't you tell me you took sleeping pills?
I wouldn't have gone to see you.
How would I know they'd kick in so quickly?
Here. When you've been drinking alcohol,
you shouldn't take sleeping pills.
It's dangerous, you know.
You sure know a lot.
Of course. Sometimes I take them when I'm stressed.
Seems like we've got quite a few things in common.
We'll talk later.
-Yes? -G? Come see me for a bit.
Okay.
Good morning, Ms. Ai.
Who were you talking to? Your girlfriend?
What girlfriend? I don't have one.
You could, you know. I wouldn't mind.
Because I know you spend all your time helping me work
and have never dated anyone.
Wow. Saying it like that,
you might as well kill me.
But, that kind of encouragement
is because you're caught up in romance yourself, right?
Not at all.
I'm just a boss who really cares about her staff.
But if you're going to have someone, choose carefully.
If they're not good, or plan to take advantage, don't date them.
So I can spend all your time helping Ms. Ai with work again?
Exactly.
That's all I heard them talk about.
So I'm not sure
how Andromeda is involved with Orienna in this bidding.
Or if Ms. Aiwarin plans to invite Andromeda
to open a flagship store in The Greater.
Because right now, Andromeda is a high-end brand in Thailand
that foreign customers are most interested in.
And Aiwarin herself is already their brand ambassador.
Plus, she seems close to the brand's owner.
So she plans to use that connection to her advantage, huh?
Of course. And I think Ms. Aiwarin
is also reaching out to many other big brands.
But for now, forget about the other brands.
If you can pull Andromeda into our project, Ms. Mae,
while Ms. Ai is their brand ambassador,
it'll be like Superior slapping Orienna in the face.
And our credit with the board will also go up.
In that case…
G, find me Ms. Anne's contact number.
Alright.
Hello, Anne.
Hello. Please, have a seat.
Thank you.
Thank you so much, Ms. Anne, for giving me the honor today.
My pleasure.
I really admire your work, Ms. Anne.
I know.
Just looking at the outfit you're wearing today says enough.
But this outfit is from the brand's latest collection.
It only launched a few days ago.
Actually, I don't even know what you wanted to talk about today.
But first, I want you
to meet a friend of mine.
Alright.
This is Ms. Aiwarin.
I'm sure you already know her.
Ms. Ai is our brand ambassador, and also an important partner
who's helped push our brand this far.
So I thought if what you want to talk about is business,
Ms. Ai should be in the loop.
She might help me think it through and make a decision.
Shall we start the discussion then?
It's alright, Ms. Anne.
I'll excuse myself.
Goodbye.
She came to ask for our cooperation but couldn't control her emotions.
Still so young.
Don't judge her just yet.
Anyone in her situation
would be just as stressed.
I'll be going now.
-Ms. Mae. -Ms. Anne knew
what I was coming to talk about, didn't she?
That's why she invited you.
And you knew too, right, what I was about to do?
That's why you came.
Feels good, doesn't it? Knowing you hold the upper hand over me.
You're being unreasonable.
-I never thought of it that way. -Then why did you come?
If Ms. Anne invited you, you could've just declined.
Or is the reason you didn't say no
because you didn't want to upset her?
You must really like her, huh?
You're getting carried away.
Whatever.
But one thing's for sure, I know what you want.
So I want to give you a chance.
And the reason I came here was to hear your proposal.
If it's good, I might support you in getting this deal.
I know that in the end, we'll be competing.
But if there's anything I can do to help you,
-I'd like to help. -Don't.
Don't treat me like some rookie you have to hold up all the time.
I can stand on my own.
And I don't need anyone's help.
MS. AI
Because you didn't want to upset her.
You must really like her, huh?
Don't treat me like some rookie you have to hold up all the time.
Yes.
This is Rachen, Ms. Mae.
How did you get my private number?
Nothing is too hard for someone like me.
So…
why are you calling me, Mr. Rachen?
I have something important to discuss with you in private.
But we should set up a meeting.
It's better to talk face-to-face.
I promise you, what we discuss will benefit you
and the bidding, for sure.
Just be careful of that man.
Both as a rival
and as a man.
Because he's not like any man you've met before.
Because we never know
what Rachen might do next.
Alright. I'll come meet you.
Welcome, Ms. Maevika.
This is one of my family's businesses.
Did you know, Ms. Mae, when I was young,
I was very weak physically?
So my parents built this sports arena
to force me to play sports every day.
At first, I didn't like it,
especially sports where I had to compete with others.
Because every time I competed, I always lost.
But one day, when I finally won,
I became obsessed with it.
To the point where everyone said I must be addicted to winning.
So you're saying, you're addicted to winning
against me, your bidding rival?
I don't see you as my rival.
I see us as partners instead.
Winning together sounds better.
So this is it,
the important matter you wanted to discuss with me.
So, winning together,
how exactly should we do that?
I'll tell you later what I want you to do.
Right now, I need some time to do my homework first.
The real reason I asked you here today was so I could be sure
that you'd cooperate with me.
And now I'm sure.
Why are you so sure?
Otherwise, you wouldn't have come here today.
By deciding to come here,
you've already half-said yes.
Am I right?
Someone once told me
that in business, you have to learn to play angles.
And now, as a newbie,
I'm starting to learn what I need to do.
Once you've done your homework, get back in touch with me.
I see us as partners instead.
Winning together sounds better.
How exactly should we do that?
I'll tell you later what I want you to do.
The real reason I asked you here today was so I could be sure
that you'd cooperate with me.
MS. AI
Ms. Anne knew what I was coming to talk about, didn't she?
That's why she invited you.
And you knew too, right, what I was about to do?
Feels good, doesn't it? Knowing you hold the upper hand over me.
Delivery for you.
Who sent it, G?
I'm not sure.
IF YOU WANT TO GO DO SOMETHING FUN TOGETHER,
CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES AND WAIT IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE AT 9 TONIGHT.
Whose car is that?
My assistant's. I bought it for her a long time ago,
but she hardly uses it, so I borrowed it.
Ms. Mae, are you ready to go have fun with me?
Not yet. I just want to know where you're taking me.
Then hop in the car.
What is it?
I want to put it on you.
Do we really have to disguise ourselves this much?
Well, I want to take you out
like other couples do.
But I don't know if you have forgiven me yet.
If not, that's fine.
Just hold my hand and come along with me.
Fine. I'm not mad anymore.
But you have to promise me first
that you won't do that again.
Because it doesn't make me feel good.
It makes me feel worthless,
like I'm incapable of doing things on my own.
And I absolutely hate that feeling.
Okay. I promise.
I won't do it again.
Ready to have fun with me now?
Then shall we go?
Not yet, this too.
Ms. Ai.
I want to eat here.
But you've already eaten a lot. Aren't you afraid of gaining weight?
Heh, no.
But if I get fat, will you break up with me?
No. I'll like you even more.
Soft, squishy, and cute.
Good, then let's get fat together.
Come on.
Hello, oops.
Can I have two pieces of this one?
Aren't you Thai?
You look familiar. I thought you were a celebrity.
It's okay, I'll pass. Thank you very much.
Ms. Mae, you can speak Chinese too?
A little. I've studied it since I was young.
Your father really had foresight.
He must have known you'd use it one day.
Actually, it wasn't my father.
It was my mother.
Even though she's not a businesswoman,
sometimes my mother has better foresight than my father.
Honestly, I'm not that good at it.
I can only remember some sentences.
I haven't studied it since I was little.
Since my mother passed away.
Actually, I should probably say something to comfort you.
But it's hard.
I don't have a mother either.
Thank you so much, Ms. Ai,
for taking me out today.
It was really fun.
I really like this kind of atmosphere.
Let's come again another day.
Actually, I know a place even better than this.
Do you want to go, Ms. Mae?
Yes.
I read reviews from the hotel guests here.
They said that this is one of the most beautiful spots.
And we can see Bangkok
from a perspective we may have never seen before.
Beautiful.
Because we're not just seeing the view, right?
We're seeing real life as well.
You understand things like this too?
I thought
a rich girl like you
would never have seen anything so down-to-earth.
My life isn't always up in the clouds.
So you think I'm a rich girl? What about you, Ms. Ai?
It's different for me. I like excitement,
love adventure and sneaking away
to find new and unusual things.
Today, even street life
can bring happiness.
Ms. Mae, have you noticed?
The street vendors, who live grounded lives,
don't live in the clouds like us,
yet they seem happier than we are.
That's true.
And I don't know why people envy our lives.
When in reality,
it's their lives that are far more enviable.
At least,
they have the freedom
to do whatever they want,
without anyone forcing them
or drawing boundaries for them.
But what they don't have is money.
We have to admit
money is one of the most important factors in life.
You might never have known
the pain of seeing someone you love get sick,
and having no money to treat them,
or no money to buy food
to ease their hunger.
It's incredibly cruel.
Next time,
bring me here again, Ms. Ai.
Doing something I've never done before
with someone,
it's so much fun.
And it makes me feel so warm inside.
YAM
MS. MAEWIKA WENT TO MEET WITH RACHEN
If we could just stop time here,
that would be nice.
Shall we make a pact? No matter what happens after this,
we won't let it affect what we have between us.
The most important thing is that number.
And if you can find out Orienna's figure,
winning that auction won't be hard.
What's going on between you and Superior's heiress? his,
