Wouldn’t it be nice?

If we didn’t have to hide every time we’re together.

And never had to worry behind our backs

about what the other might be planning.

Do you have the numbers yet?

So that means right now

Khun Ai already knows Superior’s numbers,

but told your boss you didn’t, right?

Mm.

I’ll send you to help Aiwarin

dig out Superior’s numbers.

I was forced to hurt Khun Ai

and you too.

(Khun Ai)

You came to take this back, didn’t you?

Since when?

I asked, since when?

A long time ago.

But

Khun Mae knows it isn’t right.

And you haven’t used it to dig up secrets in ages.

Then why not take it out?

You’ve got a keycard to my room.

You could come get it anytime.

Why wait until I found it?

Please, just listen first.

The truth is

Never mind.

Anyway

I’ll try to understand you.

Because I know

why you did what you did.

But you’ll have to accept it too

if I tell you that I

did the same as you.

Khun Ai, what do you mean?

I don’t know exactly

what you’ve learned about Orienna.

But I myself

got important info from Superior too.

What info?

The numbers you plan to propose to The Greater.

Twenty-six billion.

Khun Ai

I told you already,

you’ll have to accept it.

I dug out secrets from you.

You dug out secrets from me.

That’s all our relationship amounts to.

Alright.

If this is how it has to be, fine.

Because the truth is, we came to each other

both chasing our own gains, didn’t we?

Then it’s about time

we both face reality.

Stop deceiving each other.

And finally step back into being open rivals.

That’s how you see it too, right?

Yes.

From now on,

we’ll have no other role

but to be competitors.

And remember this, Aiwarin,

you’ll never beat me.

You’re awake?

Come have a bite first.

You

If you’re still scared of Attawit’s threats,

you can stay with me for now.

Thanks.

But I’m not scared anymore.

Why not?

Because I know

I don’t have to go through this alone.

Because I have you with me.

Besides,

if I run, I’d have to run forever.

So I figured whatever happens, let it happen.

Oh?

You’re tougher now, so different from last night.

Yeah, maybe I was possessed then.

Did some reckless things.

So the spirit’s gone now?

Are you groping me?

Groping what?

You’re eating so messy, like a kid.

A kid, huh?

Mhm.

Eat properly.

Got it.

Want some pork?

No, I’ll get fat.

I can’t even finish this.

Wow, you

With that portion, just give it all to me, huh?

- Then let’s swap plates. - No way.

This much is enough, or I’ll get fat.

Hold on a sec.

Set up a meeting with the bidding team for me.

This morning, please.

What is it?

Khun Attawit called an urgent meeting this morning.

Good.

From now on,

I’ll keep the promise I made to you.

That won’t be necessary.

Things between Ai and her are over.

Twenty-six billion.

That’s the number Superior will propose to The Greater.

Sir, where did we get this number from?

It was Aiwarin’s doing.

Not disappointed, are you?

As we know,

if we still propose twenty-four billion,

like we first intended,

we’ll surely lose.

Therefore,

I will propose

thirty billion.

What do you think, Aiwarin?

Whatever you see fit, Father.

Then it’s settled.

Handle the documents for me.

Yes.

Aside from the numbers,

is there anything else we need to fix

or dig up?

Not anymore, sir. Everything’s ready.

We just have to wait and see

if The Greater adds any conditions

after the final briefing.

Okay, I understand.

In the meantime,

bring all the documents to me.

If there’s anything to fix, we’ll fix it in the meeting.

If not, then seal the documents

and wait for submission day.

Khun Ai, what happened?

We’re going to change the bid number.

When The Greater officially announced all the bidders,

I studied every competing company.

I found that some companies

are likely to go higher than we anticipated.

If we stick to the old number,

Superior has a high chance of losing.

So we need to adjust our number higher.

And how can you be sure, Khun Mae,

that our new number will top the others?

I’m not sure at all.

But it’s better than sticking to the old number.

So how much will you raise it, Khun Mae?

We have to decide quickly.

Yes. I’ll inform everyone right away.

From the data, there are two companies to watch out for.

For Great & Glow and Orienna, I’ve studied them.

Orienna will likely go around twenty-eight to thirty billion.

As for Great & Glow,

they’re expected to use around twenty-eight billion as well.

Then what about our current partner?

If the old partner disagrees with our proposal,

we’ll have to find a new partner to invest with us.

As for our company, I estimate we’ll raise by ten percent.

That might be around thirty-one billion. What do you think?

Khun Mae

What made you decide to change the number?

Aiwarin knows our number.

I can’t believe you’d do this to Khun Ai.

I can’t believe it either,

that you said Khun Ai already knew Superior’s number

but chose to stay silent.

Well, Khun Mae did it to Khun Ai first.

How could Ai just stand by?

Don’t blame Khun Mae.

I’m the one who told her.

I’m the one who had the bug planted in Khun Ai’s room.

If you’re going to blame someone,

blame me.

Honestly?

I really want to curse you out.

But I can’t.

Because I do understand why you did it.

But

is there anything else you’ve done that I don’t know about?

No. That’s all.

But I really do want to apologize to Khun Ai.

It’s too late now.

Things are this heated, no one’s listening to us anymore.

Hello.

Cheers.

Khun Ai

I’m sorry, I need to talk to my boss.

Khun Ai

Do you even realize what you’re doing?

If anyone sees, it won’t look good.

That’s enough, Khun Ai.

Stay out of my way.

Won’t you let me be happy, just once?

Let me ask you straight, Yam.

Do you really think

Do you think Khun Mae really meant to hurt you?

I don’t know either.

But sometimes I wonder

when I saw that bugging device,

and if she hadn’t come to me then,

I

I might have just

pretended I never saw it.

If I had a choice

you wouldn’t want things to end like this, would you, Khun Ai?

But I’ve no face left to hold on to her.

Because I hurt her too.

It’s okay.

Do you like it?

If you do, I’ll do this every day.

I can, you know.

You’re happy, right, Khun Ai?

That you’re with Khun Mae?

And no matter how the bidding turns out,

we won’t let it decide

what happens between us.

Can we?

Promise me, Khun Ai.

(Tomorrow: bidder briefing session)

Hello, sir.

You came alone, Khun Mae?

Yes, I came alone.

I don’t really have anyone close to me at the bidding,

unlike you.

I meant your assistant.

Mm, she didn’t come.

And Aiwarin?

You must be referring to the news, right?

I’m surprised, honestly.

You seem like someone experienced,

who’s been through a lot.

Didn’t think you’d believe something so easily.

I don’t believe that easily.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been through a lot.

It’s taught me that anything can happen.

The bidding procedures and conditions

are in the documents you’ve all received.

And our project

will shortlist the two best offers.

After that, we’ll announce the concession winner in front of the media.

Let me remind everyone,

please review the conditions carefully.

The winner must put down a 10% contract guarantee.

Everyone now has the full details.

This concludes the final briefing.

And I’m sure you’ve seen how hard we’ve tried

to make everything turn out the best it can.

As the project chairman,

I assure you I will protect the interests of all parties

to the fullest.

If anyone has questions,

or any points you’re still unclear on, please ask now.

Are you sure

you’ll really protect everyone’s interests?

I’ll take that question

as you doubting me.

I was only asking

to give you the chance to answer.

So you could reassure certain people

who might be doubting you.

Give them confidence again.

Who exactly do you mean?

Some of the bidders here,

the ones you seem especially close to.

Excuse me, Khun Maevika,

but I think we’ve wasted enough time on trivial matters.

Let’s move on to others who may have questions.

Uh, excuse me a moment.

We’ll send out an initial notice by email.

As for

I understand. You must think the number we’re about to submit

You think it’s too high, don’t you?

But this number isn’t just about beating Superior

or any other rivals.

It’s a declaration,

of how ready Orienna is to handle this concession.

So thirty billion

is the most reasonable figure.

Khun Mae.

Why are you following me?

I just came to tell you

that back in the conference room, you crossed the line.

That’s not true.

I was trying to stop you.

I already told you, didn’t I?

Don’t let others see too much of your thoughts and feelings,

what’s really on your mind.

And if you’re going to play with those who play dirty,

you need to wait for the right time. Don’t rush.

Or you’ll be the one who gets burned.

You sound like you actually care about me.

Don’t worry about me.

Because if anything happens,

I can take responsibility for myself.

And don’t you forget,

that you and I are still rivals.

Honorable committee from The Greater,

we’ve already placed the 10% deposit.

May I ask what benefits we’ll receive?

May I also ask, does The Greater

have any criteria for reviewing performance?

Next piece of evidence, please.

It looks like those two women know too much.

We need to deal with them quickly.

But this number isn’t just about beating Superior

or any other rivals.

It’s a declaration of how ready Orienna

is to handle this concession.

So thirty billion

is the most reasonable figure.

(Unknown number)

Hello?

Meet me, unless you want your boss in trouble.

Who are you?

Sir.

Hello, Jirana,

Khun Maevika’s secretary.

I was being polite. You could at least respond.

I have manners,

but only for people who deserve them.

You’re just as cocky as your boss.

Don’t you dare touch Khun Mae!

And why not?

I already did.

Don’t tell me,

you’re the one who leaked the news?

That’s right.

And it pisses me off that nothing’s blown up yet.

That’s why I had you come here.

What do you want?

Proof.

Something concrete enough to prove

that Maevika and Aiwarin are deeply involved.

But don’t worry,

I won’t leak the clip anywhere.

I’ll just use it to scare them

into backing out of the bidding.

Give it up.

Someone like me would never betray my boss.

But if you don’t,

Maevika’s going to suffer even more.

And if you’re smart enough,

you’d know what matters more,

the bidding

or your boss’s life.

- You bastard! - I can be worse.

I just haven’t felt like it yet.

Relax. I promise you,

I’ll only use the evidence to threaten them.

All I want is to win the bid.

After that, we go our separate ways.

It’s all done.

Can you give me a hint?

Please.

At this point, our committee

has received sealed bids from all companies.

Please trust in our process,

we’ll judge everything fairly

and with full transparency.

Excuse me, sir.

I can’t be certain

that this bidding process is truly fair

if we continue to overlook certain matters.

Not long ago,

everyone must have seen the rumors about Aiwarin of Orienna

and Maevika of Superior.

But those rumors vanished suspiciously fast,

which makes me wonder,

was someone using their power to bury the truth,

because they knew it wasn’t just a rumor?

It’s the truth.

What I want everyone to understand

is that we can’t just let this slide.

Especially The Greater, who should be taking action.

What do you mean, Khun Rachen?

If society has doubts

about possible misconduct or corruption,

about collusion to exploit the bidding process,

then The Greater should investigate.

And if there’s truth to it,

Orienna and Superior should be disqualified from bidding.

Khun Rachen,

you can’t just make accusations without evidence.

Even if I don’t have evidence,

if there are suspicions,

there should be action taken for fairness, right?

Khun Direk, please consider this.

Khun Mae

- Khun Mae. - P’G.

What happened?

It’s serious.

Hey!

I’m sorry.

I shouldn’t have even thought of doing that.

It’s because Rachen threatened to hurt you.

It’s really okay, P’G.

I’m just so glad you made it back safely.

Rachen is truly vicious.

Khun Mae

from now on you really need to be careful.

I’m sure Rachen won’t let you and Khun Ai go so easily.

We need to talk, Khun Aiwarin.

So you think you can discredit anyone you want

without having any solid proof?

In some cases,

suspicion alone

is enough not to ignore it.

That’s true.

And if there’s solid proof,

then it’s even harder to ignore.

Maevika’s not that clever.

But no matter, I already prepared a backup plan.

- What kind? - With your help, of course.

And what more do you want me to do?

I’ve already done plenty planning everything for you.

Any more and it’s too risky for me too.

But I’ve compensated you well enough, haven’t I?

With what I’ve already paid,

and what I’ll be paying after the bidding ends.

- Khun Rachen. - Khun Rachen.

- May we get an interview? - Not possible.

- What’s going on? - How could this happen?

Calm down, please. Calm down.

No filming, no photos.

It’s not me, listen first. And no photos.

- Khun Rachen! - What’s really happening?

- Is it true? - Is it real?

Calm down, everyone.

Let go of me.

Don’t forget yourself.

And stop treating me like before.

I haven’t forgotten.

I meant to.

I tried to stop myself.

But I couldn’t.

I still want you close.

I still want to hold you.

I still want to spend time with you.

I never wanted it to end like this.

But wanting is all it is.

In the end, there’s nothing we can do.

You’ve seen it yourself,

the place we’re in

forces us to hurt each other this much.

And the ones who bleed are just the two of us.

So

ending it this way

is for the best, Khun Aiwarin.

(Scandal Exposed: Great & Glow tied to secret deal, Direk ousted as chairman)

I won’t let you two get away with this!

I’m fine, P’G.

I made the right decision.

This is how it has to be, this is what’s right.

That’s all for now.

I didn’t forget. I meant to.

I tried to stop myself.

But I couldn’t.

I still want you close.

I still want to spend time with you.

And I never wanted it to end like this.

Excuse me.

One more Beautyful Trap, please.

Sorry.

She’s with me.

I’ll take care of her.

You.

You.

You.

Go now.

Slowly.

You.

(Khun Ai)

(Khun Ai)

Welcome to the voicemail service.

Please leave your message after the tone.

Well?

They’re still meeting in secret, sir.

Do you want photos to use for blackmail?

I’d like to thank everyone

for being here as witnesses

to the announcement of the winning bid

for The Greater Duty Free today.

What kind of person are you, really?

Playing dirty with me until the very last second?

Don’t overthink it.

Whatever they decide

won’t affect us.

They’re both bound to get hurt.

So how could we allow ourselves to be happy?

You can break up with me if you want.

I’ll still be waiting in my place,

waiting for the day you return.

But I have you with me.

(But I have you with me.)

(Don’t shame the name of a bodyguard.)

Forget it.

My voice cracked just now.

From now on, there’s nothing between us

except being rivals.

Let me go now.

(Tough day, huh?)
