Mew opened his car door just to find Plan sitting there munching on a chocolate bar.

Looking at him you could figure out that it was not his first chocolate bar and would probably not be last. He is a messy eater and bits could be found on the car seat. Mew sat in while looking up. Plan drew out the paper from the folder and placed it on his lap.

"Your father surrendered..."

Mew's eyes twinkled. Plan handing this to him

"Why are you giving this to me?? A lawyer doing inside trading you know you would be in jail.. As you know...I am the kind who would backstab any time..."

Plan patted his hand letting the excess particle fall.

"Yes yes....you are a piece of shit .....You are a person who betrays his life to ruin your own family....A person who would dispose of me any time necessary when I turn into a threat."

Mew's eyes narrowed "Aren't you being way too honest.." there was a little bit of anger in his voice.

Plan showed his palm to stop the other guy.

"I am not finished yet...."

Mew's grip tightened and restrained himself.

"You even went so low to let yourself get drugged and raped just so that you can make the company shares price fall......"

Mew felt his nerve popping.

"But I get everything you did and why you did it......how difficult it would be to put yourself in a tiger den just so that you can live another day....How much you had to suffer for years and wait patiently between them...Looking at you I realized how much better you are than me...that is why I am giving you my weakness as I know yours....It's my way to show respect to you....keep up.."

Plan patted his messy hands-on Mew's shoulder.

Mew's heart was a bit moved by the word but the other second he realized something.

"Did you just clean your hands on my coat??"

Plan smiled awkwardly and jumped out of the car.

"I will let you go for today because I am in a good mood.."

"Thanks, Khun....I feel deeply moved from your grace.." he replied in a melodramatic way.

Mew had his funny side provoked too.

"Wanna ride??" Mew said with a smirk.

The way Mew's eyes moved made Plan's whole body shiver.

"No....I think Khun Chai would be busy with no time to play with me....Just give me a bonus for my hard work .... I would send a cost slip to all the work I have done.....And my lovers would be jealous if I bring in a new man."

"Lovers??" Mew's eyes mockingly looked at the liar.

"Yes...I live with my two lovers. They are very possessive. One has a cranky side but a soft inside, while the other is totally a mush bag all he wants, is hugs and kisses ." Plan explained his two kids' character in a very romantic way. Well, he was not lying he just didn't tell Mew what was their age right now.

To add honey to this lemon tea. A voice came from behind.

"Love, let's go home...." Techno came with a coquettish voice.

Plan smiled the other second he knew this routine they have done so many times.

"Love, I have worked so hard. I can't even put my hands up now...You should pick me up..."

"Jump Love I will catch you.."

Plan hid his face in his palm. "I am shy.."

"No worries...I will hide you.."

Plan nodded his head with a dumb smile and jumped in the air. Circling his legs around Techno's waist. Hugging him like a monkey and hiding his face on his shoulder.

Mew watched this episode with the black line forming on his head as he watched the lovers dive into the sunset.

"Does he think I was born yesterday..."

The cringes have made his whole body vibrate and in silence, he could also listen to the sound of cricket birds..

Mew looked at Plan's departure.

He could see as Plan hopped like a rabbit and jumped in Techno's arms. Like a monkey his both legs tightly wrapped around the other person's torso.

Techno lost his balance for a second and held Plan in his arms more firmly.

"Hmmm...let's go. Little man is right we have a lot to do...... we need to perform the clean-up. Before my mother's family makes a move." Mew smiled and let the driver pump up the engine.

"What's with the enthusiasm you monkey.."

"Phi...I am gonna be rich.."

Plan eyes screamed money but that couldn't take away the mixed innocent joy his whole body encapsulated.

Plan felt that from now on he is no longer a small-time lawyer but Michael Ross of his law firm!! He is a black Maserati between the small nameless cars. The dream to have his private cabinet in office was not far away. He had already prepared the acceptance speech he would be giving.

Techno could guess all his thoughts and just shook his head.

.

.

A small party was organized with little Phu, Sarawat and the small Meow Meow rubbing against Phu's leg acting as the mascot.

"Dada look we baked the cake!!"

Sarawat stood there proudly with his nose high in the sky. Cleaning his hands with a small handkerchief.

Suddenly a sense of crisis-hit him as he looked at the familiar arrogant expression he had just seen a few days ago.

He stepped up with a solemn expression and hugged Sarawat tightly in his arms.

"Dada.."

"Hmmm...." breathe in and out, feeling everything happening is real. All the hard work was worth it.

All four of them cut the cake and watched a movie.

Sitting on the balcony both looked up in the sky.

Plan was satisfied and Techno smiled looking at his expression.

"Ae...why aren't you here yet??" Plan picked up his phone with a joyful voice.

"Plan...listen.." hesitation in the voice made it quite clear for Plan to wake up from his dream.

Maybe he got happy too soon.

"Plan...The victim was raped today..."

"Who??" He knew who this person was but still asked as if to reassure himself.

"Yes, the woman who acted as a rape victim in Mew case..."

Straightening his back and taking a deep breath.

"Is it??"

"They say it's a lie. She is making things up...."

"So...Do you think.." Plan paused in between asking the next question.

"..." Silence is all heard from the other side.

After a long pause, Ae spoke again.

"This conversation never happened...You don't dig in it anymore...."

"..." Plan's lips turned dry.

"Answer me...Say it....."

" I ...." Plan resigned himself to fate.

The next day his entry into the office was a grand one. Everyone clapped for him. Liang Xai nodded his head in pride while Plan just gave a perfunctory smile. He walked up confidently toward his seat and sat there. He couldn't give his perfect speech because he knew at what cost the victory came.

He smiled and just said, " I am just a genius...what else could I say.."

Everyone laughed at the comment. Some people were pissed right now and the interns who joined with him could feel the pressure because of the person's victory.

Ploy was the silent one with mixed emotions. Someone commented on how easy the victory was for Plan. But the senior associates of the law firm were quite clear that things were not as easy as they seemed. Work done outside the court was more important than that done in the courtroom. Plan has made his mark. Kang Cho didn't want to admit it but he also knew that the background work done by Plan was more gruesome. Kang Cho looked at the people he chose. Plan was street smart, something that other interns weren't. Going to college in the capital and that to a good college obviously helps in forming good connections. Plus the connection each of these interns' families has was something that Plan could never have. Kang Cho nodded his head in approval. He was not wrong to choose someone who would be more beneficial for him in the long term. It takes more than just skill to survive here.

Arm walked to the corridor. "Hey, newbie star...Pack everything and follow me..."

Everyone was silent and looked at Plan. Plan blinked his eyes and pointed his finger at himself.

"Me..are you talking to me??"

Arm felt annoyed. "Yes, you!! Come and follow me now...You work for me now.."

Mild hold on the file tightened. The opportunity he was fighting tooth and nail for was given to someone else. Plan who was nothing compared to him was given to work directly under Arm, the one Mild admired to death.

Plan timidly followed Arm as the butterfly in his stomach knocked him in and out. Having validation from a father figure was his lifelong dream. He felt he would tear up any second..

.

.

That happiness was short-lived. He was sitting in front of Tul Medthanan. That person seemed a bit pissed and stoic. Liang Xai, Arm, and Plan sat on the opposite side with Plan's job were just to take notes while the others discussed. Tul Medthanan would be going through a divorce of the century.
