The Mafia Way

Avoid At All Cost

The next day, Gulf and Pete maintaining the same rhythm as the previous day, wake up early, breakfast, head to the company, lock themselves inside the room and are busy focusing on their work till midnight then go back home.

The next day after that too, the same pattern has been formed as they did the same thing from the previous day. In these two days that went by smoothly without being distracted by anyone so does the most anticipating company dinner that they will attend at JT's Hotel Ballroom Hall has arrived.

It was the day Gulf introduce himself as he takes over the company once and for all. He's dressed up in a formal suit, looking handsome yet cute at the same time as he smiles slightly at the rest of his employees.

The night start with Gulf making a toast to everyone as he stand in front of the podium holding his glass up and said;

"Thank you to everyone who presents who took your time to be here tonight and don't worry I'll just do a small toast speech. So tonight I would like to toast for us. Here to us" as he raises his wine glass while the others follow suit.

The night went well as everyone was having fun, talking here and there, mingle around while Gulf remain professional like he always does as he answer their questions one by one in a calm, collective, respectful manner while Pete stick by his side all the time.

Pete slowly grab Gulf's hands and pull him by the side of the hall that facing the window; "You okay Gulf?" asked a concerned Pete as he looked at Gulf who tries to cover his tiredness with a small smile.

"There's no need to put on your face smile Gulf, I know you"

"Fine, I feel stuffy with this type of gathering," said Gulf truthfully as he look outside of the window.

Pete sighs slightly as he holds onto Gulf's arms; "Gulf, look at me" which makes Gulf look at him;

Pete turns them both away around in which Pete is looking away from the crowd while Gulf is being shielded by him as he moves Gulf slightly towards his body. Pete then said; "Close your eyes. Take a deep breath, inhale, exhale, one more time, inhale, exhale" as Gulf do what he was instructed.

"That's my Gulf, now that you're calm and collective. Let's mingle for a little and then ditch them" add Pete as he winked at Gulf, who 'Tsk' at him then roll his eyes and head over to the others.

Everyone who was there couldn't help but form a gossip within each other's group as they ogle over Pete and Gulf's closeness and how they acted like a married couple rather than friends or a co-worker.

Pete who caught their gossip smirk at them and smiles sweetly at Gulf in a way that make their fans ship them harder while Gulf clearly saw what he did just shakes his head and ditch them all by standing to look at the night view.

But as he was having his moment of immersing in the nightlife, his eyes caught a black car pulling in front of the hotel, that looks like Mew, thus makes him slightly panicked as he looked around to find Pete.

He spotted Pete that was busy talking with the others, not minding that he cut their conversation, he quickly pull Pete by the side of the room and asked; "Did you invite Mr Suppasit Jongcheveevat to this party?" in a low voice as he whispers in his ear.

"No, I did not. Why on Earth would I do that though?"

"Exactly that's what I was thinking but why the fuck is he doing here?"

"Where is he?"

"I saw him arrived just now like 3 minutes ago in his all-black car, exiting the car and head inside this hotel!" said Gulf in a slightly annoyed voice as he continues, "I'm going to ditch this party now".

Gulf stride towards the front, slightly hit the fork at the champagne glass to catch everyone attention as they cease their conversation to focus on their boss.

"I just want to tell everyone that have fun tonight, I have some urgent things to handle back at home so don't forget to mingle around and get acquainted with one another. Goodnight and have fun"

With that being said, Gulf smile at them, place his champagne glass down, walk over towards Pete at the end of the room while he quickly pulls Pete out of the room and at the same time, at the nick of time, Mew entered the room through the front door.

Gulf who caught that sight quickly run away like a runaway bride with his adrenalin pumped as he skip the lift and head to the emergency staircase.

In his mind, Gulf was chanting 'Avoid him at all cost', 'avoid him at all cost', 'avoid him at all cost', 'avoid him at all cost', over and over again.

He runs down two steps at a time, almost leave Pete behind as they manage to get to the ground floor in a record time from the third floor down to the ground floor VVIP parking that is facing the hotel.

The moment Gulf reach his car, he knew that Mew is looking at him from above at the ballroom hall in which he is right as he looked up and saw Mew standing there with a glass of champagne with a significant smirk plaster on his face.

Gulf couldn't help himself as he gritted his teeth, glared at him and then flip his middle finger in front of him towards Mew before he poke his tongue out and slide himself in the car as Pete drove away from that place.

'Fuck you, Mew! Fuck you Suppasit Jongcheveevat! Fuck you. You can suck on my dick for smirking at me like that! I'll avoid you at all cost you fucker!' scream Gulf internally.

Pete takes a peek at Gulf who is composedly calm while looking out of the window yet his inner self screaming like a maniac.

Meanwhile back to Mew who was smirking at his bold kitten for flipping a finger in front of him, he couldn't help but to admire him and talk to himself,

'You, my kitten are the only one who is daring enough to do that and get away from it. But don't worry, run and avoid me as much as you can for now before I cage you up my love'.
