Chapter 12: Suspicious

After hanging up the PARAMEE, NAKROP stood and pondered. His eyes were looking at the beautiful night view of Shanghai. But those aesthetics were not in his attention. Because his attention was now completely over to someone who had just talked to him just a moment ago.

After that, he picked up the phone to make a long-distance call to someone.

"Hello— TEACHIN? From tomorrow, please send someone to keep an eye on the PARAMEE teacher and find out as much information about this woman as possible. If I go back to Thailand, I must know everything about this girl."

When TEACHIN took his order, he immediately cut the call. He stood and looked at the scenery below for a moment. Before turning off the lights and going to bed after he had spent all his energy clearing the troubles here until he started to feel a bit tired.

'PARAMEE PAKSAKORN… huh… I need to know what your purpose is.'

------------------

The next morning—

PARAMEE woke up early in the morning refreshed. After last night, she slept soundly immediately when her head touched the pillow. So, she thought that she would go to the morning market to buy ingredients and go back to cook breakfast.

Because it was a holiday, so she wore plain clothes, t-shirts, shorts, and sandals. As for her hair, which began to grow past her shoulders, she casually tied it low. She hummed in a good mood while thinking about the menu that she would cook without knowing that since she stepped out of the condo, two men followed her. No more than a hundred meters away, a large suspicious van was parked. After finishing shopping, PARAMEE went back to the condo and didn't come out for a whole day.

That same evening--

"That's all. Will you want me to continue?"

One of the men who followed PARAMEE this morning reported to TEACHIN via video call.

[So— keep going and keep reporting every day. Oh— send me today's video clip.]

"Ok!!"

TEACHIN, who is now collecting information about the PARAMEE came across a piece of information that he hadn't expected before.

"This is!!!..."

He picked up that document and read it one more time to be sure.

"I see! Why is the president so interested…"

Then he organized all the information he had provided to be able to send to NAKROP tomorrow.

------------------

[The weather today is cloudy, relative humidity in the air at 80%, scattered thundershowers in 60 percent of the area, the lowest temperature .....]

The sound of the weather forecast came from the TV that PARAMEE had left open since morning.

"Hmm— It looks like it's raining today. I have to prepare an umbrella."

After getting dressed, she rummaged through the small locker next to the TV for an umbrella.

"Ugh— I found it, damn it. I bought a many of them and they're all gone. When the time I want to use it, it can't be found. But when I don't use it, it's easy to find until it almost pricks my eyes. Is this God teasing me?"

She took out an old folded umbrella that was tucked inside the cupboard.

"Sigh— just use it for a while, then stop by and buy a new one."

After complaining, she put an umbrella in her bag and went to work immediately.

------------------

NAKROP sat reading PARAMEE's information sheet with a calm expression on his face. But his brows furrowed in a knot. The eyes staring into the papers were as sharp as if they were about to cut the paper into pieces.

"Is that all?"

He asked TEACHIN, who stood waiting for a cold voice.

"Yes, that's all for now."

TEACHIN replied with a calm expression. NAKROP turned to question KAVIN, who was also reading the document.

"How are you think?"

KAVIN stared at a figure in which the figure was present in the female sailor's outfit with eyes as if he had just discovered something of his interest with a cold smile.

"Hmm— I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence...at first, I thought they were just similar people."

NAKROP raised an eyebrow and asked KAVIN what he meant just now.

"Well— I met this young lady last year… but you know what I found..."

KAVIN asked NAKROP with a bright smile on his face. Until NAKROP was annoyed by his attitude to the point that he had to use his sharp eyes to send it as if sending a silent message:

'Hurry and tell me, don't play hard to get!!'

"Woah…. You don't have a sense of humor at all…. damn it. Be careful, you'll die of stress."

"Don't talk too much. Tell me."

NAKROP's patience finally came to an end until he had to speak out.

"Oh, well, I've been told…and then stop sending those leer eyes at me…that day I met this girl with a high-ranking military officer with Mr. CHIWAT who was one of our dinosaurs board members?"

Hearing this, NAKROP was slightly stunned. He didn't think his intuition would be this accurate. He stared at the sight of PARAMEE wearing a female navy uniform with cold eyes.

'Huh— You think you can hide me?'

Knock- Knock-

Two long knocks on the door interrupted the thoughts of the people in NAKROP's room. Which the knocking signal indicates that the people outside are none other than theirs.

"Excuse me."

Then there was a woman in a scarlet tight-fitting dress with a white blazer and a well-make-up face. Until making this person look beautiful, like a confident woman, walked into the room with a thin file in hand.

"Wow- LITA, you are beautiful again today."

KAVIN's voice smiled as he intimately greeted the woman. The woman whom KAVIN called LIAT was KAVIN's secretary. Her real name was LALITA.

When LALITA hears her boss's greeting, instead of being embarrassed like the young woman being complimented by the young man but she didn't have that reaction at all. Moreover, KAVIN was popular with girls like NAKROP. Her reaction is probably should the same as the girls in the office who, when faced with sweet words like this, must be so shy that they can't do anything right.

But not with LALITA—

Instead, she showed a bored expression and pretended not to care about the sweet words that KAVIN said just a moment ago. Caused KAVIN, who had hoped to see the secretary's embarrassed reaction, to be disappointed a million times.

"Hey- LITA, don't ignore your handsome boss."

KAVIN's childish voice caused LALITA to be annoyed as she hypnotized herself in her mind into patience before her expression calmed down and reported on her purpose for coming here.

"Now everything has been prepared. Shall we start now?"

NAKROP and KAVIN heard this, and both looked at each other as though they were communicating with their eyes. When KAVIN saw the cold eyes sent by his friend, he shifted from the playful gesture he had just now to the serious one as if flipping his palm with a serpent-like look in his eyes that was about to go out to hunt its prey.

"Alright— time to get rid of the dirty rats."

KAVIN stood up and said with a smile that rarely wanted to see. Because if KAVIN smiles like this, nothing good will ever happen. This smiling was for those who think to be his enemy.

"Vin— just enough for the other rats to panic until it comes out of the nest."

NAKROP spoke coldly.

"I know— I'll pull my punches…let's go, LITA."

Then KAVIN walked out with LALITA, his secretary.

After KAVIN had left. Once again, NAKROP turned his attention to the PARAMEE's background along with giving orders to TEACHIN in a decisive tone.

"Keep an eye on her and report to me every day."

"Yes, boss."

TEACHIN accepted before leaving to carry out the orders he had just received. NAKROP leaned against his work chair and closed his eyes tiredly. Since he had just returned from Shanghai, he stopped by to work. Making him was not enough rest.

He thought of PARAMEE's face on the day they first met with confused eyes for a moment. He could sense that the look in PARAMEE's eyes that she looked at him that day was a genuinely sincere expression. However, the information he received today was completely contradictory making him confused in his mind.
