I walk into work on Monday uncertain of what will happen... on all fronts.

If your worried, don't be. Can and I are really happy and the little issue he has dealing with is mostly because he's a sucker for a sob story. I'm going to give his some space with that man simply because without that greedy fool, I would have never had my Can in the first place but if he starts becoming a problem, I'll stomp him out quickly and quietly.

I settle in at my desk and get started on my files. I have my first assignment with my new team. We are about to attempt to acquire a new piece of land from a very stubborn old man in Phetchaburi near the seaside. It's prime hotel real estate and he's one of the few hold outs in that area.

This is important because Tul has been trying but failed miserably. He gave this to me for that very reason. If mister perfect couldn't do it then I definitely wouldn't be able to. Snort.

Anyway, we have a meeting in an hour and I want to get in the groove but I'm too distracted by what's happening . 

The the basic black cellphone sitting on my desk rings. I snatch it. In total it has about 10 numbers on it.

"Ae."

"I got served."

"Ok."

I use that same phone to call the person waiting and simply tell them "Phase 2". Then I put that phone away in the hidden sleeve in my work bag. With that done, I can focus now.

A young man in a very simple yet specific courier outfit walks into the Medthanet building and asks for Tul's office. The young lady at the front desk calls his personal assistant and she immediately asks for the boy to be sent up before contacting her boss.

The young man makes his way up and in. He greets Terana nicely before entering Tul's office.

"Is this what I've been waiting for?"

"Sorry but I have no idea this time. I received it like this so I dare not look inside."

"I see. Here." The boy collected the generous tip, wai, then strolled back out. He wai again to Terana and made it into the elevator. He took a deep breath as the door closed and another when he walked out the door uninterrupted.

Tul took a moment before he opened the package as he received the call of Ae being served. 

"Boss. I'm not sure we made the right move. I know you don't really care about my opinion but when I served the papers, that black eyed guy just laughed and laughed. He's fucking scary."

"What the fuck are you saying Ling. He's just a builder."

"I'm not sure about that boss. He's really connected. His boss is married to that Baramee guy and his connections are crazy. The Daichapanya's and Panitchayasawad's are some of the richest and most connected families out there. The Kongthanin's are a very prestigious family of doctors. Phana, the Baramee guy and a few of their other friends have opened their own private practice. They all know Ae. They were all in his office when I got there."

"Wait, what? All of them?"

"Yes. There appeared to be some meeting but they were all there. And they were all very familiar with him."

"Did they say anything?" Tul wasn't nervous but he was curious.

"Baramee said he heard that Ae was going to be served but he didn't think it was true. Daichapanya's husband said we were a joke and we needed to do a proper investigation before we picked on Ae because there was no way that bottom rate statue could have been made by Ae. It was just too sub par."
