Just because we shook hands for the press
doesn't mean we're enemies now.
You should stay away from Khun Ai.
Don't get close or friendly.
Who's Gavin?
Mae's most recent fling.
- I'm done. - Talk to me first.
- Let go. - I don't wanna break up.
If you don't wanna get hurt, stay away from Mae.
- Did he follow you? - Yeah.
What are you doing here?
Because everyone here likes the same thing.
Girls?
If so, what’s the problem?
Quiet.
You don’t think I’m weird, do you?
Not at all.
Liking the same gender is totally normal.
I'm just surprised,
'cause I've never heard about it before.
The media keeps talking nonstop
about how you're this hotshot young entrepreneur.
But no outlet has ever mentioned your preferences.
I’ve never dated anyone seriously.
And no one’s ever asked me.
So I don’t see the point of announcing it to anyone.
Then why tell me?
Aren’t you afraid I’ll discredit you?
I don’t think
you’re the kind of person who plays dirty.
And if you were that shady,
you wouldn’t have shown up at Orienna tonight.
Honestly,
I didn’t even wanna come.
But my friends planned to meet here.
I couldn’t really say no.
You? Seriously?
Can’t say no to your friends?
I think
there’s probably another reason.
Whatever the reason may be,
I'm glad you're here.
It’s nice seeing you again.
Khun Maple.
How do you know my nickname?
You did your homework on me, didn’t you?
So why can’t I do mine on you?
Khun Maple…
It’s a really cute name.
Thanks.
But we’re not close.
And we never will be.
So I think you’d better stick with Maeveeka.
Don’t say “never” just yet.
Fate…
it always has its tricks.
Trust me.
Excuse me, manager.
Is Khun Ai at Anthea?
Yam wants to talk to her about something.
I tried calling, but she won’t pick up.
She’s here, Khun Yam.
She’s talking to...
Talking to who?
- Khun Maeveeka. - What?
Okay then.
Keep an eye on them from a distance.
And save all the CCTV footage.
Every single camera.
If anything leaks and becomes a problem,
we’ll have proof to deal with it.
Khun Ai, seriously...
I told you already, not this one.
Who is that guy?
Why is he following you?
An ex-date.
We talked for a while.
And then...
When I realized he wasn’t it, I backed off.
And...
Are you like this with everyone?
What do you mean?
I mean…
You talk to someone, then realize they’re not it.
Why do you wanna know?
Just tell me.
It won’t affect our business anyway.
Well...
Everyone.
But this one’s the only one
who still won’t stop chasing me.
Guess he just couldn’t take it.
People like that are so annoying.
You talk like you've been through it.
I have.
With a girl?
With a guy.
Before we know what we really like,
we’ve got to make some mistakes first.
And...
When did you know?
I guess it was around the time
I first went abroad for school.
Back then, I thought I was fine with guys.
But when I gave girls a chance…
started talking to them more…
and eventually slept with one…
that’s when I knew for sure.
This is what I like.
You didn’t have to be that detailed.
What do you mean?
That was just the intro.
I want you to know…
how that turning point felt for me.
So maybe...
you might wanna find your own answers too.
I think...
I’d better head back. Gavin’s probably gone.
Khun Ai.
The lobby said that guy came back to the bar.
Want me to handle it?
No need. I’ll handle it myself.
Okay.
Looks like he’s still trying.
I’ll come with you then.
Let’s go.
Don’t be nervous.
Just go with it if I do anything.
Where’s your car? I’ll drive you.
Come on, let’s go.
Hurry, let’s go!
What now? We can’t shake him.
Just drive. I’ll find my way back.
Mae! Mae!
Mae!
Pull over here.
I’m heading off now.
Wait.
Just now…
Thanks for helping me.
I don’t accept thanks.
I’ll take something else instead.
And...
What would that be?
I'll let you know later.
Bye.
Khun Ai, that guy came back to the bar again.
Want me to handle it?
No need. I’ll handle it myself.
I’ll go with you.
Looks like...
we’ll have to pretend to be a couple for now.
Sorry, what?
He already saw you
entering a bar full of women.
So make him believe it.
That you’re dating a woman.
Then maybe he’ll finally let go.
Come on.
Don’t be tense. Just go with it if I do anything.
Stop it, Maple.
What’s wrong with you?
Why would she even do that?
Khun Yolada.
I told you to send the market analysis files
for all companies likely to bid, last night.
Why didn’t you send them?
You’re usually never late.
Is there a problem?
There is.
What is it?
Why didn’t you call?
I did. But you didn’t answer.
I heard you were busy entertaining a VIP at Anthea Bar.
I warned you, didn’t I?
It’s not that I didn’t listen.
I was just minding my own business.
He’s the one who showed up.
And since I’m the host…
Of course I had to greet him.
What did you expect me to do, kick him out?
Khun Ai,
you haven’t been “just minding your business.”
Ever since you saw him at the Greater Building,
you’ve been acting off.
Maeveeka’s a newcomer.
We don’t know what her angle is.
We should be cautious around her.
She’s not scary.
She’s adorable.
Yes, I want her.
There are tons of women out there.
But she’s different. She’s more special than anyone.
And more dangerous than anyone, too.
She’s the competition.
Getting involved with the competition is a disaster waiting to happen.
Maybe not. Maybe it could turn out well.
I mean, if we’re on the same page,
maybe we can come to an agreement on how to move forward.
So we both benefit from it.
