Nuch! Nuch!

Oh my!

Quick, Nuch!

Does it come off? Oh! There too. Wipe it off, quickly.

I’m sorry, sir. We’ll finish cleaning as soon as possible.

Does it come off? Wipe it again. The guests might complain if they see it.

Oh! I’m sorry, sir. Sorry.

Will it leave a mark?

Is it dry?

I wonder what kind of stain it is.

Go!

Let me go!

Sit!

Let me go! Why are you arresting me?

Excuse me, Boss.

Hello. I am Apo Watinwanich,

an Executive Vice President of the Monarch Global International Hotel under the Watin Group.

First of all, please accept my apologies for a sudden surprise and disruption.

The incident earlier wasn’t real.

It was a joint training with the officers to test our security system…

in response to an emergency event which may possibly occur at the hotel.

It is our top priority to ensure the safety of our guests.

This kind of training is very common among international hotels.

So that our guests can be assured, that in case of emergency,

our employees as well as the security guards…

will take the best care of you and protect you from all harms.

I sincerely appreciate your kind understanding and cooperation.

We promise to try our best to deliver an excellent service during your stay at the hotel,

and make it safe, cozy, and the most pleasant experience for everyone.

Miss Preem.

It wasn’t good enough.

Right after you were taken hold of, those guards in the CCTV control room called the police immediately.

While waiting for the police,

Miss Wadee and other employees also acted normal to buy time,

and keep the suspect unaware that the police were coming.

What did we do wrong then, Boss?

This wouldn’t have happened at all if there were a security guard in that area.

Where was he?

Miss Wadee!

Miss Wadee! Now, I know where that security guard disappeared to!

To make up with his girlfriend, right?

You really know it all!

So, will he get sacked?

Hmm, no idea. Miss Preem said Boss is considering it.

Boss might be very strict but she isn’t mean.

She’ll probably give him a second chance and won’t fire him.

Who knows?

She might often give people a second chance. But there’ll never be a third time.

Besides, it has something to do with the hotel’s reputation this time.

I don’t think she’d let him off the hook so easily.

Jah!

I’m sorry, Miss. Sorry.

I’m sorry.

Be careful next time. / - Yes.

That was close.

But you know what? Despite being so dedicated in work,

Some people still believe she got her position because she’s an only child.

And since she’s a woman, they even doubt if she can work at all.

Can or cannot, our hotel has won an award every year.

Can those who do nothing but look down at others do that too?

Honestly, if our boss is a little less stern…

and doesn’t work 24/7, that would’ve been great. It’s too tiring!

She only lives to work. Who else could’ve made her think otherwise?

For today, you’re scheduled to meet with the marketing team at 1pm.

And at 3pm, you have another meeting with the HR team.

In the evening, you have a dinner appointment with Mr. Wichian.

Is there anything else you need…

Hey! Watch where you’re going!

I’m sorry. Are you all right?

I’m fine. But I don’t think my phone is.

I’m terribly sorry indeed.

About the compensation, I’ll have my secretary take care of it.

Miss Preem, I’ll leave it to you. I have to go for a meeting.

Hey, wait! Hold on! Hey!

Get back here and talk first! Hey! / - Miss!

Miss! Miss!

My apologies for the damage, Miss. If you want to repair it or buy a new one,

please feel free to let me know.

Here is my LINE QR code.

So, is that how Apo Watinwanich, the owner of a five-star hotel,

treat her guests?

You know her, Miss?

I’ve stayed here for 3 whole days waiting to see her.

But it all ended in less than 3 minutes!

Nade, am I not pretty?

How’s that related?

Can’t you see? I’m all dressed up like this…

but she just walked into me and didn’t even glance at me.

Are my brows uneven, eye shadows too dark, lips colour too plain, or…

Are my boobs not big enough?

Maybe she isn’t into girls.

Listen. I’ve done some digging around.

I’m pretty sure she’s into women.

Geez, the screen is broken. Give me the ipad.

Look!

This is Kasama, Apo’s cousin. She just got married. This is her wife.

This one is Wayo.

Definitely a girl kisser. She used to date Pui, the belle at my accounting faculty.

I know because I once had to work on a project with her.

And this one is Utchima. No records of dating men or any interest in men.

Judging from this info, I’d say the whole Watinwanich family is definitely into girls.

I’m one hundred percent…no, one million percent sure!

Neh, my sister loves grilled pork but I don’t eat it ever.

You can’t assume they’re all into girls just because they’re cousins.

I don’t think your plan would work.

Well then…

let’s use another plan.

What plan?

You even went out of your way and got yourself checked in at this hotel just to discredit her. Did it work though?

Or are you going to complain about how the room here is luxurious but lovely.

And the price is also reasonable, not a rip-off like we expected.

Nade! I asked you to help me complain about her hotel, not about me!

What? If you did the right thing, I sure wouldn’t be complaining.

But right now, what you’re doing is nonsense!

Nonsense, what? Who said nonsense?

It’s not nonsense at all!

Just admit it…that the Watin Group’s hotel is top-notch. You can’t do anything to them.

You sound exactly like my dad.

I’m sorry, Dad.

Sorry? You know…

if your apologies could be converted into money,

I would’ve been the richest man in the country.

You made it sound so fancy, promising me a big success.

But look what it turns out to be? A complete mess!

But I didn’t mess up the land bidding, Dad.

You didn’t? Then how come the land that’s supposed to be mine…

has now fallen into the hands of the Watin Group?

He said they’re playing favourites, Dad.

It’s none of your business.

Pat, you should learn from your brother.

No matter what job I assign to him, he’s never let me down.

And look what you did. Of all the people in this world, you have to lose to that Adisorn’s daughter.

You know what? Why don’t you just put on a skirt instead?

Dad, isn’t that too harsh?

A girl like you who doesn’t know how to work should better keep your mouth shut.

You’ve never given me a chance to work with the Wachara Group.

How do you know I can’t work?

If I let you do that, my company would have gone bankrupt.

Your only job is to get married to the man I see fit. The one I’ve approved of.

Just use your pretty face…

to support our company and make it grow bigger and bigger.

For jobs that require brains and knowledge, just let the boys handle them.

How was it, dear?

When will Dad stop judging me?

I told you it’s not your fault. It’s mine.

Because you’re his mistress?

It’s not your fault, Mum. You didn’t have a choice.

Lada, please forgive him, dear.

He has taken good care of us all this time, never left us to struggle on our own.

Take care? By making us live in the shadows like this?

He’s never told anyone you’re his wife.

Never called me a daughter.

And even forbid me to use his surname.

I have to use your surname, Kunarnon, instead. You call that ‘take care’?

Lada, I’m begging you. Despite all that, he’s the person we should be grateful for.

So, do I have to let him marry me off in order to show gratitude to him?

: You want to work with Wachara Group, Lada?

Lada, I know you want to help your brother.

But this is something big. It won’t be that easy.

I’ll do it anyway.

The Watin Group played dirty during the bidding and snatched the land from him.

I’ll get back at them.

But trying to get close to Miss Apo to steal information from her for your brother?

How does that make you different from them?

Well, if I succeed, Dad will finally see…

that a daughter like me isn’t just an object for marriage.

That I can also be much more and do many things for the family, like what his sons do.

What’s next?

A meeting about a party arrangement.

What party?

A party to celebrate your winning of the Next Icon Hotel Ashley award for 3 years in a row.

It’s an award voted by those from the hotel business industry. We have to...

Cancel it.

Yes?

How many years have you been working as my secretary?

How is it that you don’t know which job I would or wouldn’t do to waste my time in life?

I’m sorry, Boss. It’s just that you recently won the bidding on the land,

and also won this award. So I thought you might want to relax a bit and came up with this party.

Those successes happened because of everyone.

Keep the budget for the year-end bonus instead.

What’s next on schedule?

The big boss’ secretary said her boss wants you to…

Tell my dad to go on those blind dates himself.

Are you sure you want me to tell him that, Boss?

Yeah, I told my secretary to tell him exactly that.

Maybe he’d finally give up.

Wait, don’t tell me he called Mum?
