CHAPTER 13
"Do you like it Kim?" Kamol asked with a smile, his thin hand running across Chantilly's face and scratching his chin like a kitten.
"If you like it, you should come and take care of it every day, okay? So someday you can get close to him without me taking care of you, I will try to feed him" Kamol said, making Kim's eyes sparkle with passion.
"Be honest, do you really want me to go?" Kim asked like a child who has found something he likes, Kamol nodded.
"Then I will go see him everyday" Kim said without realizing that his words were like a promise that Kim would stay at Kamol's house.
"And Clemo? Can I touch him?" Kim asked looking at Clemo, who was still there, apparently
stronger than whipped cream.
"This Clemo is very jealous, but soon you will be able to touch him like Chantilly" Kamol said again, reaching out and stroking Clemo. That he had now calmed down and was no longer roaring menacingly. That made Kim want to touch him, but he didn't dare.
"If I go to them often, will Clemo hurt me?" Kim asked curiously.
"No, because you play with Chantilly, Clemo trusts you to some extent" Kamol said again and Kim nodded as he looked at Clemo who was licking his own fur.
"I want to hug him, his fur must be so soft and how much" Kim said stroking Chantilly's chin non-stop with her hand.
"Wait, let him come closer to you, I'm sure you can hug him" Kamol said in a serious tone.
"So, you can hug him?" Kim asked excitedly, completely forgetting about the previous conversation.
"All right" Kamol replied.
"Then give them a hug, I want to know how they behave" Kim said.
"..."
"Khun Kamol, I asked you to hug Clemo and Chantilly, I didn't let you hug me," Kim said softly as Kamol raised both arms to hug him.
"Oh, I thought you wanted me to hug you again" Kamol said with a smile, Kim rolled his eyes because he knew Kamol understood what Kim told him, but he said he didn't understand just from hugging Kim.
"Can you?" Kim asked again.
"Then you have to step back a little, wait outside" Kamol replied and Kim nodded, before Kamol guided Kim a little away from the cage.
Kamol then walked towards the entrance of the cage, Kim stood up and watched Kamol open the large iron cage, he went inside and closed the door, as soon as they saw Kamol entering the cage they walked straight towards him. Kim looked on excitedly.
Another of his thoughts was for the tigers who were not cooperating with Kamol as they were known as wild animals with hunting instinct, Kamol walked slowly towards the two tigers.
Kamol's eyes were steady and still, he looked at the tigers with each step. Chantilly was the first to approach Kamol, Kamol knelt on the ground and raised his hand to caress Chantilly, who went to snuggle with him.
Followed by Clemo, who stopped and sat down next to Kamol, Kamol smiled slightly and began to hug the two tigers alternately with strokes along the body and head of both tigers. Kim stood there looking at that picture in awe.
Kim was watching Kamol hug and play with the two white Bengal tigers. Seeing Kamol in the middle of the two tigers made Kim feel that Kamol was a formidable person with an aura of power spread around him. Kim was not surprised by this, Kamol's subordinates were obedient, respected and loyal to him. Kamol raised his head to look at Kim who was standing outside the cage, before giving him a smile.
Kim's heart soared. Heat spread across his face, he felt like he was playing with fireballs, he felt a tingling sensation in his heart and abdomen, Kamol looked at Kim with a scowl, before leaving the cage and returning to Kim.
"What is it? Is it hot? Your face is red, I think you better go home first, it's starting to get really cold now" Kamol said, noticing that part of the figure's face was flushed.
"Oh... um" Kim responded with a nod to Kamol's invitation. The strong figure wrapped around Kim's thin waist and they walked back to the house.
"Let's see these two again tomorrow" Kamol replied and Kim nodded without saying a word.
"Would you like to continue eating?" Kim asked realizing that Kamol was eating dinner and had to get up and follow him.
"No, I usually eat at two or three, I am eating now because I want to eat with you, and you, do you want to eat more?" Kamol asked and Kim shook her head.
"I ate some sandwiches and rolls before you left, I'm still full" Kim replied.
"So who told me you were hungry when we were in the office?" Kamol pretended to ask, Kim's expression changed.
"Who? What? You're confused" Kim said stubbornly, causing Kamol to smile softly before leading Kim into the house. Kim chose to go see a movie at the cinema, with Kamol sitting next to him the whole time. Kim began to feel more relaxed, there was no awkwardness like the first time he went inside with Kamol.____________________
"Are you sure you want to go with me, Kim?" Kamol asked again to make sure he and Kim were ready around 10pm.
"Hey Khun Kamol, I said we'll go, so let's go" Kim said when Kamol pretended not to want Kim to go.
"Ok, don't be stubborn about it, I was just asking. In case you are sleepy and want to go to bed and rest now" Kamol said when he saw that Kim was starting to roll his eyes.
"I'm not sleepy" Kim said before turning around to look at herself in the mirror, Kamol smiled with the corner of his mouth before moving closer and hugging Kim from behind and kissing his cheek softly.
"Don't go too far away from me, okay? You look so cute today that I don't want anyone to look at you." Kamol said with a husky voice, he snuggled into the back of Kim's neck too, this made Kim's skin shiver and shrink.
"I know, uh... no... also... will you compliment me on how cute I am?" Kim spoke to what Kamol said earlier.
"Handsome or cute, you're the one for me" Kamol replied, making his face softer and redder, along with enthusiasm in mind, even though Kamol is almost 40, he is still handsome and intelligent in an adult way, which makes Kim feel like a child next to Kamol.
"I'm not obsessed with your compliments, so shall we go already? By now your subordinates must be tired of waiting" Kim said
"Let's go" Kamol replied taking Kim's hand, they left the room and walked down the stairs together. Kamol's subordinates were already waiting with the car ready.
Kom approached to open the doors for Kamol and Kim to sit before Kom himself went up the stairs to sit as co-pilot as usual.
"Khun Kamol, I thought I asked earlier, why can't you open the car door yourself? Do you have to let your subordinates come and do it for you?" Kim asked nervously, Kom and the driver almost started laughing.
"I would, but you'd better ask my subordinates, why do they open for me?" Kamol said with a calm expression that was not offended by Kim's question.
"Kom, answer my wife, why do you keep opening the car door?" Kamol also brought Kom into the conversation.
"We are willing to take care of him, even if it is such a small matter, Khun Kim" Kom answered seriously because Kim is younger than Kom, but Kom was willing to explain to him why Kim was also considered his own boss.
"Eh, that's a very boring answer" Kim said without taking it seriously, this made Kom and Kamol smile a little. The three cars left Kamol's house, there are three cars and the car that Kim and Kamol are in, is the middle one.
They went straight to Kamol's bar in the tourist area, right next to the bar that was burned down, it took a long time to get there, the three cars then turned around and parked in the back of the store, in the VIP parking lot.
"Is this your bar, Kamol?" Kim asked immediately when he saw where Kamol had taken him.
"Yes, it's been open for a long time, why?" asked Kamol.
"Nothing, just that I used to bring customers here and sometimes come with the Nongs from the office often, I didn't know this place was yours" said Kim.
"Really? That means you and I could have met here before" Kamol said and Kim nodded before Kom got out to open the car door for Kamol, because on the side where Kim is sitting, the driver also got down to open it.
"This time you don't have to, I'll open it myself" Kim said to the driver.
"I am willing to do Khun Kim" the driver said making Kim shake his head, he couldn't believe that Kamol's subordinates are hard to talk to like his boss.
When they arrived, the attendant rushed out the back door to compress them, Kamol introduced Kim to the employees, before taking Kim straight to Kamol's private room without having to go through any security, the music from Inside the store, suits the night life , you can hear it as Kim follows Kamol holding his hand the whole time, Kim looked around curious.
"Have there been many tourists around here?" asked Kim.
"Yes, it is common for them to come after five o'clock in the afternoon" Kamol replied before leading Kim to the reception room, some of Kamol's subordinates followed him, others stayed outside doing their duty.
"What would you like to drink?" Kamol asked curiously as he walked straight to the large glass panel.
"Whatever" Kim replied without turning around, Kamol then turned to order the drinks from the subordinates, before walking over to Kim, who was standing with his hands on the mirror looking down in awe.
"Khun Kamol, you can see the whole inside of the store, you can see the mezzanine" Kim said as he saw the back of the place, they are now almost full of tourists, both the first floor and the mezzanine are packed with tourists.
"Umh, I did that so I could see what was going on inside the store" Kamol replied, wrapping his arms loosely around Kim's waist and standing there watching the tourists, Kamol felt Kim start to talk and accept him more than ever.
"But the people down there can't look up, because I remember I used to look at this mirror and wonder why it was there" Kim said.
"It's a glass that only appears from one side" replied Kamol before Kamol's subordinates brought the drinks.
"Kim, what mixes do you want?" Kom asked.
"With soda" Kim replied turning his attention to the picture below, Kom made Kim's soda immediately.
"Wait here a minute Kim, I'll talk to the manager" Kamol said after taking a drink.
"Yes" Kim replied before Kamol turned and waved to Kom, then left Kick to keep Kim company and disappeared to talk about work and ask about the enemy.
After an hour, Kamol returned to the room, discovering Kim tapping on his phone.
"Are you bored?" as Kim looked up and shook his head before putting the phone back in his pocket.
"Khun Kamol, you are very good, can I show you something?" Kim commented, Kamol raised an eyebrow suspiciously.
"Come on" Kamol said before Kim stood up and walked over to the glass panel that overlooked the store.
"Do you see the entrance to the restroom?" Kim pointed to the entrance to the public restroom.
"Hmm" Kamol replied as he looked where Kim was pointing.
"What would you say if I told you to move the customer table away from the bathroom entrance? There are some people waiting to get in there, it is taking away an obstacle for them to get in easier and that is the important thing, that table that is in the back, nobody takes it into account, I have never known a man to sneak into the women's restroom, or women to sneak into the men's restroom. Well it's true that many tourists come in and out of the bathroom, and there are many maids to clean them all the time, but did you know that no one would think to do something hidden in the bathroom?" Kim said as seriously as he could, leaving Kamol a little stunned.
"I can't agree, but I see this place is pretty fancy, wouldn't it be nice if there were those things in the store, I don't know, maybe I'm overthinking it" Kim said worried even he couldn't help but smile as Kom and Kick stood there with a slight smile.
"And why do you think someone would do something like that in the bathrooms?" asked Kamol.
"A moment ago I saw a man and a woman leaving the men's room together if I'm not mistaken" replied Kim, but he was quite confident, as at the entrance to the bathroom, there is a light that illuminates.
"Besides the area in front of the bathroom, is there anything else that needs to be fixed?" Kamol asked again, feeling happy that, little by little, Kim is starting to play his part in Kamol's life and business.
Kim could sell things in more depth and detail than Kamol could, if, for example, the entrance to the bathroom, Kamol himself hadn't thought of that, but it's true what Kim said, what about the people who come out of the bathroom often? They keep expecting a whiff of tourists and would probably make the restaurant's reputation go downhill like other lower level bars, because this bar is classified as an exclusive bar, but tourists who can have a certain level of awareness, may not know.
_________________
"Anything else that needs to be fixed? Well, at the moment, other than the things I mentioned before, I can't see anything else that needs fixing, but I might be thinking about it a lot" Kim said turning his head to Kamol before frowning. "Why are you smiling? I'm talking about a problem in your bar" Kim asked.
"I am smiling because I am happy" Kamol replied still confused.
"What are you happy about?" asked Kim.
"I'm happy that my wife is involved in running the business" said Kamol, making Kim freeze, thinking that he accidentally took over Kamol's business.
"Uh... I was talking about that, I won't take care of anything like you said" Kim said indifferently, while sitting on the couch with a glass of liquor to hide his face.
"Hey Kick, did you hear what Kim said?" Kamol laughed in his throat and turned to question his subordinates.
"Yes" replied Kick.
"Then tell them to fix it, what Kim said" Kamol ordered immediately.
"Yes" Kick inclined his head before immediately leaving to carry out the order. Kim gave him a brief glance before looking away from Kamol. Kamol sat down next to Kim, picked up the glass of drink Kim was drinking and set it aside.
"Calm down, I don't want to take my drunk wife back home just yet" Kamol sneered.
"I haven't had much to drink" Kim said calmly, before looking away.
"Uh, Kamol, can I go there?" asked Kim.
"There are a lot of people" Kamol replied.
"Well, I want to go down and see the atmosphere" Kim said again.
"Then I'll take you to the drink bar" said Kamol, smiling happily.
"Ok, let's go" said Kim, so Kamol ordered Kom to go downstairs and clean up the bar area before going downstairs with Kim.
While taking Kim for a walk, Kamol held his hand the whole time as usual, after opening the door to enter, a fun dance music could be heard because in the private room it was soundproofed, he could only hear the music faintly.
Several pairs of eyes looked at Kim and Kamol with curiosity because they had people following them, the bartender immediately raised his hands in honor of Kamol before starting to prepare drinks for Kim and Kamol who were sitting on the chairs in front of the bar, Kim continuing to look at the tourists along with a soft sway of that fun music turning to look at Kamol, he saw that Kamol was sitting with a fierce face.
"What's wrong, Khun Kamol? Don't make faces to earn merit" Kim held his head and asked in Kamol's ear, as the music in the bar is quite loud, hearing Kim's question, Kamol brought her face closer to answer Kim.
"Did you know? That there are a lot of people looking at the man with the sweet, crystal clear eyes, that's why I didn't want you to come?" Kamol replied with a stern voice, he let Kim know the reason for his fierce face, because he keeps looking at people who look at Kim with interest.
"Nonsense, Khun Kamol, who would dare to approach me? Look, you are sitting next to me with a fierce face, and Kom and Kick are standing still like Cheng Kum Choeng giants, anyone who dares to approach is crazy." Kim replied, Kamol smiled faintly. As he shook his head from side to side at Kim's analogy.
Kim saw young men and women, he turned to Kamol as well, he had a calm demeanor and an aura of power, there are always people who want to go meet him.
After sitting and watching for a while, Kamol invited Kim to come back, it was around 2am, arguing that he didn't want to take him back when the bar closed because the tourists had to come back and would cause a lot of confusion, traffic and chaos for a while. Kim agreed to go back, but that's okay, because he was starting to feel sleepy too.
"Are you sleepy?" Kamol asked as he walked to the back of the store with his subordinates.
"A little" Kim said, but his eyes were starting to close, Kamol shook his head and smiled, at Kim's stubbornness. His tired eyes indicated that he was very sleepy, but Kim didn't say that.
"Did the drivers drink alcohol?" Kamol asked the drivers of the three cars after he got out to see the car parked in the back, Kamol's subordinates who accompanied him usually bought them a small drink, but the drivers were strictly forbidden to drink.
"We don't drink sir" the three drivers said, Kamol nodded before leading Kim to the car while Kamol still stood beside the car.
The sound of a car coming and stopping on the side of the road at the rear parking lot entrance near where Kamol was parked echoed throughout the area. This caused Kim and Kamol's subordinates to run to their bosses.
The thunder of three shots rang out causing Kamol's subordinates to run to the side of the car.
"Get in the car quickly" Kom said to Kamol, Kim who was about to fall asleep in the car, woke up in shock.
"Khun Kamol! What is going on? Where are you?" Kim immediately asked, as soon as Kamol quickly got into the car.
Bang!
The sound of gunfire from Kamol's subordinates was heard in the car. Kamol hugged Kim besides drawing his own gun, the good thing is that Kamol's car is bulletproof, so Kamol was not worried about what would happen to Kim. The sound of another car speeding down the road was heard.
"How are you guys doing?" Kom asked his boss in the car.
"We're fine, what's going on? Are they gone?" Kamol asked in an irritated tone.
"Yeah, it's like they don't want to attack directly, it's like they only intend to threaten" Kom said after quickly assessing the situation.
"Who shot who? What happened?" Kim asked surprised.
"Nothing, wait in the car, I'm going to go down and talk a bit with my subordinates, I'll hurry up and take you home" Kamol said pretending to get out of the car, but Kim is afraid, so he hugged Kamol by the arm.
"No, I'm coming down with you too" Kim shouted as he came to his senses.
"It's safer to stay in the car, Kim," said Kamol in a stern voice.
"No!" exclaimed Kim.
"You can let him out, Khun, they won't be back, I really think it was just a threat" Kom replied, Kamol breathed a sigh of relief before allowing Kim to get out of the car, with Kim at his side, Kamol's subordinates ran after him, another car returning.
"Did you see the license plate number?" asked Kamol.
"No, the bar has a camera installed in front of the road, we can see it from there" replied Kamol's subordinate.
"Do you think they are Khun Chen's subordinates?" Kom asked immediately.
"Who is Chen and what did you do to make him so angry that he had to come and threaten you and shoot you like that?" Kim said immediately.
"It's from work" Kamol told Kim, this made Kim feel a little irritated because Kamol acted like he didn't want to talk and say much to Kim.
"Kom tomorrow, please contact Dayman for me, Kim will stay with him for a few days" Kamol said, which made Kim quickly turn around to look at Kamol.
"Why are you leaving me with Day? I am not an item you can give to just anyone!!!" Kim immediately shouted upon hearing this.
