"Oh!! Looks like I forgot to bring my visiting card...but I would definitely cherish yours!!"

.

.

.

Today in the pantry area of the Law firm all the interns gathered around a small table whispering in low voice.

"Is this a real one??"

"Obviously!!"

"How do we know that it's a real one??"

Plan just smirked.

"If you don't want it... then that's it.."

"Leave him be...I want the visiting card.."

"Then whoever wants the visiting card places your bets.."

"100"

"200"

"700"

"1000"

"Is that all you got!! This is visiting card to the 'Prince Mean'. Everyone knows the urban myth of how many lives he has changed. Come on!! place your higher bets.."

"5000"

"7000"

"10,000"

"Oh!! Look everyone we have 10,000!!! Going once!! Going twice!! "

Plan brimming with happiness was about to have 10,000 in his pocket with that devil's visiting card without even doing an ounce of work for it.

"What is happening here??"

Everyone dispersed as they heard the voice.

Plan was a second late to get down from his hangover.

Blushing like a studious student caught by his favorite teacher he straightened his back.

His cheeks still blushing like a starstruck boy.

"Nothing!!...just playing around."

Mew's eyes literally bulged out of the socket.

Mew-"....."

'Where is that cheeky bastard!!...who is this doppelganger!! Who is this goody to shoes!!'

"Okay, Then report to my office..."

"So how is Mr. Mew's 'Image planning' coming along??"

Plan who was still smiling cleared his throat and turned his back to them.

As soon as the projector screen rolled out and lights were turned off Plan turned to face them with a serious expression.

All the newspaper cutting from this year came along.

"As we know Mr. Mew 's image at present is presented like this.."

Newspaper cutting on Mew being a playboy and partying all night displayed on the screen.

"Mr. Mew has a current image of partying every night till the police have to be called..."

"You don't have to show that...we already know this.."

Ignoring the blatant protest by Mew Plan continued to show the images of his party being crashed by police to his video of dancing with girls which had more than a million views.

"What is the point of seeing this..." The arm was the one to point it out finally after seeing Mew's expression turning dark.

"As you can observe...from all this....Mr.Mew has more fan following than a B-category actor."

Arm eyes brightened as he saw the grin on Plan's face.

Mew's eyes were still gloomy but he looked at him with a confused expression.

"Where this is going.."

"Rather than portraying that you have turned a new page in life...and showing you a church-going clean boy we should rather present you as you are...People like authenticity..Netizens these days are sharp they would find out sooner or later that you are playing a role for them to see....So you shouldn't shy away from what you do and present yourself as you are. Let's tell them you like to party and you are a playboy but at the same time, you respect woman and has never supported drugs...Show your way to party...people would love your originality.."

"But what about the board of directors..??" Mew asked with interest.

"Well...If you keep up the profits then there won't be a problem...You still have 6 months trial period before reshuffling....Let's just use your image and increase the sales of the Liquor branch and plus use the bars and pubs under your name to turn them into a woman-friendly place...."

Plan calmly explained.

Arm nodded his head in affirmation.

"Let's then go with the image of a young man who likes to party with everyone and like connect to youth..If people like you it would work easily.."

Mew finally smiled and clapped his hand while the pr team under Plan finally took a breath of relief.

Plan looked at them and smiled as if comforting them. Even if they worked for Mew but still having Plan as their boss was doubtful because of his young age. They were just waiting for an earful from Mew and Arm but suddenly after following Plan's lead and listening to his plan they finally had confidence in him. He finally earned respect from people much above his age.

"Mr. Plan's idea and the way everything is presented is quite nice...Mr. Plan must have worked in advertisement and PR team before...you look quite an expert.." Vice-Manager of PR team commented.

Plan smile froze for a second and he looked around the room as his eyes landed on Arm.

"Would you like to join our PR department..." The manager offered the job in a joking manner.

"No...he is a better lawyer.." Arm cut in as he gave a nod to Plan.

Plan exhaled his breath and smiled more widely.

"Being a lawyer pays more.." He cracked a joke before the room could have an awkward silence.

.

.

.

Pakorn has turned into the most wanted handsome lawyer in the law firm according to internal voting done among the woman.

"Let me buy you a coffee..." A pretty woman from Family law made a bold move as Pakorn was trying to buy a cup of coffee in the cafe downstairs.

Pakorn just smiled politely.

"That would be a crime...Let me buy you a coffee instead.."

He looked at the female barista with a sweet smile.

"Four cups of coffee..please.."

As the barista was preparing coffee Pakorn flirted with the pretty lawyer.

"This cup is for you...Have a nice day...you seem worn out today.." He smiled as he gave one cup to the barista which left her speechless and touched at the same time.

While he walked back to the woman waiting at the table and handed over a cup telling him he is busy right now and they could catch up some other time.

While holding two cups of coffee he walked toward the law firm while in between throwing a smile here and there.

"Good morning Linda.."

A woman would blush as the person remembered his name.

He walked toward Plan's table under the watchful eyes of everyone and placed a cup of coffee with a smile.

"Wipe that smile off your face....It's annoying so early in the morning" Plan spoke without even looking up. He spoke in a whisper only enough for Pakorn to listen to.

The whole persona was gone in a second.

"Let's have a meeting.."

"Hmm.." Plan nodded his head.

Plan didn't show any humbleness in front of Pakorn which should have been shown due to hierarchy.

Collecting his stuff they walked away.

As soon as they entered the room and blinds were taken down isolating them from the watchful eyes outside.

The confidence just shown outside by Pakorn was gone.

"Looks like Park taught you well.."

Pakorn got shy on the praises.

"You think so..."

Plan has the urge to roll his eyes but he contained himself.

"Moving on...don't expose the internal conflict and money transfer accounts to Kang Cho and hide them well...Just find the trace of it without letting anyone know and at last present it to them...Even if you are working with Kang Cho don't you dare to leak your work to him.."

"Wait a minute...I just have a question why did you let me do it...when you can easily do it.."

"I can't...I don't know a thing about tracing finance....and just because I work under Arm doesn't imply that I can easily set up my own team and do whatever I want...something needs to be earned....Kang Cho can do whatever he wasn't here and no one can stop him because he brings in clients and profits. He has earned his arrogance with all the connections he got. I don't have a dime on me so I can't do it. If I told them what I found I won't get a penny nor would I get any credit. Kang Cho's main aim is now to have Anong family connection on his list. Ploy Anong is his asset give and take...I can't fight against that...But I can also not break the hierarchy and jump in front of his client and tell them to listen to me like 'Hey!! I know the answer..' . I need to survive here. Doing that would put me in Kang Cho's mouth. So stealing his client without directly stealing it keeps me safe...And I would get the money even if I don't get the credit...This put me at ease.."

Listening to the calculative thought process of Plan. Pakorn felt a chill down his spine and was also mesmerized by Plan's brain but suddenly a thought hit Pakorn.

"Hey!! Wait a minute!! So don't tell me...I took in the client Kang Cho lost...so now I am his biggest enemy...I have bruised his ego..."

"Not bad!! You do have something up here!!.." Plan smiled as he pointed to Pakorn's head.

Pakorn looked at him with wide eyes.

Another second Plan was serious again as no hint of emoting could be seen.

"That's why you can't lose...You can fall and trip too!!... It's your time to earn the position that you got through the backdoor...I can't always help you...I can only change what's outside..These cloths you wear or the fake confidence you have...everything is just to make you presentable...at the end of the day skills are needed...I am betting on you here..If you lose we both will sink...but If you win!!!... trust me the other side is much more charming and mesmerizing than this place.."

As Plan spoke he turned his eyes and both of them looked outside the glass window where the high skyscraper touched the end of the sky and the advertisement board of the law firm was stuck on a hoarding.

Pakorn looking at the aspiration of Plan swallowed the lump that formed in his throat. He also straightened his back and decided to be hungry for something big.

.

One month passed by and Plan was successful in avoiding Mean in every way possible. He was quite satisfied with himself. His plan with Mew's image planning was showing a quite positive effect. But on the other side, someone was frustrated. Mean who was so sure someone would try to contact him. Everything in his expectation didn't turn out the way he wanted. Mean found his prediction wrong and that shook his confidence a little.

Attended a casual hang out on a new pub opened by Mew where each and every actor and actress and everyone well known showed up.

Mew giving a speech to the media.

"Well...I am not here to empower women....I just want them to have a safe place to dance and chill when they are tired from each and every person in this world telling them how to dress and what to do....Which profession they should choose....Or at what age they should get married....I want them to have a place where they can drink, chill, dance or explore their sexuality without feeling unsafe."

"So do you support women drinking?? Even if it is not good for health??"

Mew smiled.

" Well...is this age...where everything we eat contains some portion of pollutants...Drinking should be the least of your worries...and with everything going around in the world..I do think we all need some time out....so I would be leaving now....but I do hope that Miss.."

Mew stretched out the word looking at the woman reporter who asked him this question. He tried to look at his name tag.

Woma cut through to speak her name before Mew could read it.

"Tanya.."

Mew smiled again.

"Oh!! Miss Tanya...I do hope when you have a day off from your hectic job you do come here with your friends.. A glass of wine never hurts after a busy day.."

Mew gave a seductive smile when Plan pushed through the crowd.

"That's it for today...Mr. Mew need to attend to some guest..thanks for coming..Please do enjoy some refreshments.."

.

.

When they walked away smiling. Plan gritted his teeth while still smiling and spoke to Mew.

Mew smiled back too.

"Don't do that with a reporter.."

"Do what?? I did nothing.."

"You want me to believe that...you know you don't need to fuck every woman alive. You know that don't you??"

"Damn!! I like you even more.." Mew spoke totally enjoying Plan's dilemma.

Mew sighed as he looked at the changing number on the elevator.

"You are going to be okay...we are almost here.." Plan assured him.

Mew nodded his head.

They entered the floor with all eyes turned to Mew. Mew's secretary was already there to receive him as Plan retreated in dark. Mew looked back for a second toward Plan who again gave him a nod and Mew nodded back.

Plan walked toward Arm who was surrounded by some ministers.

Arm introduced Plan to them and Plan engaged in conversation with them while sipping grape juice in a wine glass without anyone knowing.

Midway through the party Plan came across what he dreadfully wanted to avoid. Mean!!.

Mean, Mew, Kengkla, Arm, Ploy Anong, Some opposition party leaders and a few people in politics sat in opposite directions.

Looking at the room Plan felt something odd. Then he noticed how Arm told him to memorize each and every name who entered the room and which position they sit on.

Plan just nodded his head and went through it. Plan even noticed Ploy Anong's father entering the room and he could see the smirk on Mew's face but Mew sat there quietly after having some greetings Ploy Anong's father left the room. Ploy followed him out.

After everything was done. Only Mean, Mew, Kengkla, Arm, and Plan was left in the room.

Arm asked Plan to write every person's name and his position where they sat.

Plan nodded his head and took out a tissue and wrote the name of people with the position they sat on. While trying his best to avoid the piercing eyes on him.

Mean looked at the person who intrigued him so much.

"It's done.." Plan handed it to Arm. He sat there quietly while minimizing his presence.

"Can we trust him..??" Mean asked looking at Plan.

"He is my person..I take full responsibility for him.." Arm's voice was affirmative. He declared that he can't be questioned.

Plan sat there drinking tea without even looking up at the person who inquired about him.

This pissed off Mean even more. He was treated as invisible.

Tissue paper was passed to three people sitting.

Kengkla who was drinking while enjoying the mood got a glare from Arm.

"Kla...you need to pass it to patriarchy...please memorize everything right now...we need to burn it.."

"Don't be so serious Uncle ..I will just take the tissue..."

"No...you can't....do it now.." Arm spoke in a strict voice.

Three of them took their time to learn the name and the positions.

"Pass it to your patriarch..we will have another meeting after that..." Arm spoke.

Plan sat on the end quietly while Arm gave some instruction to the three.

More Plan listened more he understood what was going on inside the room. The future of the next five years of this country was going to be written inside the room. Every political party member who entered this room was going to have an important position in the future. He was witnessing history being written. He felt like a big stone was dropped in his heart. This doesn't feel right to him. He stayed silent as he drank his tea sip by sip. Waiting to be excused by Arm.

"As the deal is sealed...we should drink now.." Kengkla spoke in a joyous tone.

"I do have some entertainment too.." Mew called in for some girls and alcohol.

As the woman tried to sit around them. Plan tried to avoid touch in discomfort.

"You didn't like them...today I am happy with your performance..tell me your type I would find it for you.." Kengkla spoke with a smile.

Plan looked around the room and his eyes landed on Arm as if asking for help.

Arm just smiled enjoying Plan being teased.

"Or..do you swing the other way.." Kengkla continued the joke.

But when he got silence from all around the room he understood that the other party was gay.

"No worries...we can find you a man...to enjoy your night" Kengkla spoke with the same excitement.

Plan blushed a little at the comment. Mean eyes darkened watching those red cheeks and eyes finally wavering for the first time. The person who was not fazed out by any of the big revelations this whole evening was blushing red due to little teasing about sex.

Plan blushed because he saw Arm joining in teasing him. He felt like a teenager who was caught by his father while watching porn.

Mew smiled while having a little understanding.

"Well...I do have prepared a gift for you..." Mew spoke as a few men entered the room after Mew gave some instructions.

Mean eyes narrowed as he looked at the crowd gathered.

Plan blushingly looked at the people present.

He didn't speak a word.

"Don't like them??? I have a few for you too??" Arm joined in as he spoke to the manager who was standing at the side.

Plan blushed more.

"That's not necessary..." Plan voice contained eagerness but also a hint of denial.

Mean was angry now. 'A random stranger would do for him...but he has a problem sleeping with me??'

He sat there clenching his glass while the woman around him moved away in fear.

A muscular man entered the room and sat next to Plan.

"Just relax a little kid.."Arm spoke as if coaxing Plan.

Plan nodded his head still blushing a little.

Mean whole body was burning with anger he felt rejected. His ego was hurt. He look at the weak pitted figure of Plan as he sat close to a muscular man double Plan's size. That man's hand moved on Plan's thigh massaging it a little. Plan was clearly blushing and enjoying being served.
