Tomorrow at noon, I'll go live and make a public statement.

The person in the photo is me.

Your precious daughter

is causing more drama for the family again.

Are you planning to stay and drag our name down even further?

And who exactly is so disgraceful?

Can't you forgive Tawan's father?

I told you to break up with her

because I'll never make peace with him.

If you want to love each other

while making me miserable, then do whatever you want.

Do you really think we can be together if both our dads refuse to accept it?

So, we'll wrap things up as agreed, Boss.

I don't think there's anything else to add.

No, that's it.

Alright then,

we'll leave it at that.

Well, Boss,

the new security company looking after Ms. Ayla and Mr. Thana is…

Boss, are you going to see Ms. Ayla after work today?

Are you going? I can drive you over to her place.

Better not.

I don't want to put Ayla in an awkward position. I feel bad for her.

Are you holding up okay, Boss?

That's love, Boss.

When it goes well, smiles are there to keep you company.

But when it doesn't,

tears will take their place.

So today, which one's keeping you company?

Smiles or tears?

A mix of both.

Smiles…

and tears.

But that's okay.

More friends to keep me from feeling lonely.

Saying that, have you already given up?

No. But I don't want to be selfish.

Happy,

while she and her father are suffering.

Submit the bid exactly like this.

Yes, sir.

And what about the gunman incident? Any progress?

No progress yet, sir.

Remind the new security team to be extra careful,

especially the team guarding Ayla.

Understood, sir.

The bid submission… Everything's in order, right?

What's the problem?

Well…

Mek.

Mek.

Mek!

Who? You got a death wish--

Yeah, maybe.

Might scare you into actually working for once.

It's nearly noon already. Aren't you supposed to work?

Planning to sleep until Bangkok disappears off the map?

You're really testing my patience.

Where's the bid submission at?

I had my secretary handle it, Dad.

You had your secretary handle it?

This is a multi-billion-baht project, and that's your answer?

No, I mean…

I've already taken care of everything myself.

Taken care of?

The project consultants say

you haven't even sent them a single thing to review.

Well…

I was planning to keep everything a secret and submit the bid all at once.

Mek, this tender is important.

You can't keep treating it like one of your games.

How many times have you failed to win a bid?

Every single time!

You've lost so many times that the company I've built my entire life

is about to collapse in your hands.

Trust me, Dad.

Please. Just this once.

This is not like any other time.

I'll make you proud this time.

Fine.

Let's see

if you make me proud

or if it's time I start rethinking a few things about you.

Why is it you never trust me?

Nothing I do is ever good enough for you, is it?

Oh, right, because I'm not Tawan.

Whatever she does, it's always perfect,

always impressive,

always makes you proud.

Try blaming yourself for once, not everyone else.

And this

has nothing to do with Tawan.

Of course it does!

I know you've been giving her company documents to read.

Why, Dad? You want her to take my place?

Is that it?

No one can replace you,

if you're good enough.

What's that supposed to mean?

What do you mean by that, Dad? Talk to me!

Damn it!

Are you really thinking of having Ms. Tawan replace Mr. Mek?

Just a thought.

If she really joins,

our company could be ranked among the top in Asia for sure.

Sorry, sir.

How many tenders have we lost this year?

Five, sir.

And we've lost to T.R. Develop, Mr. Thana's company, every time.

SLIDE TO ANSWER

I'll be going now.

Can I speak to you frankly?

- Dad-- - Let me finish first.

The company's situation isn't good right now.

We've lost several major bids,

and it's hurt our credibility with the board, shareholders,

and key clients.

I've tried to guide Mek.

I've done

everything I could,

even put the company on the line for him.

But Mek is still Mek.

I just can't put any hope in him.

With this next big tender coming up,

I'm afraid

we'll lose again.

If it's that important,

why don't you handle it yourself?

If I do, it's like hammering the final nail in Mek's coffin.

Any shred of credibility he has with the shareholders will be gone.

And when that happens,

I don't even know what the future holds

for the company I built with my own hands.

And you think I could work at your company?

I'm certain you can.

Let me be straightforward.

The reason I hired a private bodyguard for my daughter

was because I've been dealing with serious business threats.

I've received multiple death threats against both me and my daughter.

I don't know if what happened to Ayla

was really from anti-fans

or from my business enemies.

Who's the frontrunner for this bidding round?

T.R. Develop,

Thana's company.

Please give us a moment here.

Hello, Boss.

How are you doing? Tired?

Not tired.

I wasn't asking about work.

I meant, with your personal life.

I'm exhausted…

and really discouraged.

It just feels like

there are too many problems all at once.

The problems of adults

becoming the problems of two young people?

Ayla,

when you love someone

with all your heart,

love them unconditionally,

sometimes you can't explain why.

And there's no such thing as right or wrong.

But everyone says it's wrong for us to love each other.

And who exactly is "everyone"?

Your two fathers?

They think it's wrong?

Because to the rest of the country,

your love is something beautiful,

something right. They're ready to support you both.

See? Right and wrong

depends on perspective.

It depends on who says it first

and how much influence

they have over your life,

over your heart.

Ayla,

every problem

has a solution.

Big or small, hard or easy,

happy or sad,

there's always a way out.

It's just a matter of choosing the one

that hurts your heart the least.

Come on, little one.

Don't cry over something like this.

Tawan.

Can we not be like this anymore?

I don't want us to go on like this.

Don't cry, okay?

Don't cry.

I understand everything.

I really do.

Don't cry.

Does everything that's happened…

hurt you…

a lot?

It hurts me so much,

like my heart's about to tear out of my chest.

When you're not with me, I don't want to do anything.

It feels like I can't go on.

Can I be selfish?

I don't want to hurt my dad,

but without you, I can't live.

So, if he's going to be angry,

then I'll just have to let him be.

Just…

stay with me like this.

Hold my hand and never let go.

I never once thought of leaving you.

My heart's been here

from the very start,

and it's going to stay here. Always.

Promise?

I promise.

I promise.

We'll have each other

until…

the very last breath of our lives.

Boss, have a sandwich.

Thank you.

Ayla.

Go get some proper rest in your room.

Let's see each other tomorrow.

No…

I'm not letting you go yet.

Stay a little longer, please.

Thanks!

So, the numbers are still the same?

Alright.

Thank you.

Why haven't T.R. Develop and Park Thai pulled out yet?

Listen, if our company loses this tender,

start packing your things.

I'm not keeping a useless ox on the payroll.

Got it?

Got it, sir.

I'll make sure it's handled.

Burn this into that thick skull of yours.

I don't care what tricks you're planning to use,

but I will win this bid.

Yes, sir.

Try being smarter than an ox for once.

About that plan we talked about, go ahead.

Just go ahead and do it!

Don't worry about a damn thing!

We're already at the bidding venue, right?

Yes, sir. We're on standby.

Any issues?

None. We're just waiting for the opening.

Good. If anything comes up, call me.

Yes, sir.

Give me a hug, Dad.

I'm going to work now.

Aren't you having breakfast first?

No time. I'm running late.

I'll get going.

Thanks!

Look who I've spotted!

Hello!

The one and only Ayla! You've been on fire lately.

So, how's that secret project going? Any surprises coming up?

Well, as everyone knows,

I've got a big concert coming up.

It's my way of thanking the fans for all their love.

Wow, so work's keeping you busy.

Can we talk a little about your love life?

Sure.

Many people say

they'd love to see you and Tawan make a public appearance together.

Think that could happen?

Honestly, Tawan's swamped with work.

Maybe once things calm down a bit.

Yeah.

So, she really is busy,

and not just because you're keeping her all to yourself, right? People say

they want to see two beauties side by side.

I'm not keeping her to myself.

She's just really shy around cameras.

- I see. - But when she's ready,

everyone will get to see her.

- Okay then, I'm booking the first queue. - Deal.

So cute, as always. Thank you so much.

- Thank you, Ayla. - Thank you.

Good luck! I'm supporting you.

Thanks again.

Bye!

Thanks!

Ang, how was that just now?

Oh, just now? Looked good. You can head home.

- Okay. Thank you. - Alright. Bye!

Goodbye!

Excuse me. Ms. Tawan sent these flowers for you.

Thank you.

WISHING YOU A GREAT DAY AT WORK - TAWAN

The flowers are so beautiful.

Do you like them?

I love them. Are you done with work yet?

Not yet.

What about you? Are you finished?

Yeah, I just wrapped up, and I'm packing up to head home.

After today, I'm free. I'll be waiting for you at home.

Are you hungry? I'll cook for you.

Are you going to buy me something or actually cook?

I'll cook!

Don't underestimate me.

I've improved a lot.

I can make all kinds of dishes now, even if only a few taste good.

Either way, you have to come home and eat with me.

Sure. I'll eat you.

I mean dinner!

Okay.

Dinner. Don't get any funny ideas.

Did you see the photo I sent?

What do you want?

That day, I even aimed to miss,

and you still wouldn't back out of the bid.

You…

The choice is yours, Mr. Thana.

Wow, today was so chill. I barely had to do anything.

BODYGUARD

Just some insert shots

and an interview. You know, the usual.

Are you with Ayla? Put her on. Now.

What should we eat? I can't decide.

Ms. Ayla, your father wants to speak with you. Urgently.

Tawan, I'll call you back. See you at home. Dad's calling.

Okay.

Hello, Dad.

Ayla!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Miss, watch out!

Ayla! Ayla!

Give it to me!

I warned you.

Go.

Hello? Hello?

Yes, Mr. Thana?

Pull us out of the bidding. Now.

Pull out?

I said withdraw from the bidding. Now.

Yes, sir.

Tawan!

Tawan!

Take that!

Tawan!

Put the gun down.

Or I'll kill this bitch.

Now!

Back up.

Slowly.

Back up.

You laid a hand on my woman.

You laid a hand on my woman, huh?

You laid a hand on my woman!

Boss, that's enough. Stop or you'll kill him!

Get out!

Die!

- Die! - Tawan! Stop! Stop!

Come here. I'm safe now.

Ayla, are you hurt anywhere?

I'm fine. Not hurt at all. You're the one who's hurt.

The other side's been cleared, Boss.

Good.

Let's get the car ready to leave.

Get the car ready. We're going to the hospital right now.

No.

We have to take Ayla home first.

But you're injured, Boss.

She's right. We should go to the hospital first.

Your arm's badly hurt.

Ayla, listen to me.

You have to go home now. Mr. Thana is waiting.

Prepare the car to take Ayla home.

Yes, Boss.

Get the car ready.

Tawan?

Why? Why won't you…

- Why won't you go-- - Trust me.

Mr. Thana is waiting. You need to go home first.

Dad! Dad!

We won!

Okay.

Well done.

I told you we'd win this time.

Good.

Good.

Tawan,

can we please go to the hospital first?

Please, I'm begging you.

Ayla,

we can't yet.

Right now, I need to take you to the safest place first.

And what's so unsafe about a hospital?

My hands are freezing.

Ayla, listen.

Anyone can get in and out of a hospital.

I don't trust it.

And if someone hurt you again,

I'd never forgive myself

for being too weak to protect you.

Chanya, please tell her to go to the hospital first.

She still hasn't stopped bleeding.

Ayla,

focus.

Listen to me.

The most important thing right now is getting you somewhere safe.

This wound is nothing.

I can handle it. Trust me.

Don't cry, okay?

No more tears.

- Don't cry. - Okay.

That's my girl.

I'm making you vice president of our company.

You mean it, Dad?

Keep your eyes on everyone in the Chokprasertsap family.

That's your old family name, isn't it?

These are the names of the suspects and several persons of interest.

And if what you're thinking turns out to be true,

what will you do?

Then it'll be to the death.

He can hurt me, and I'll take it.

But if he hurts you, the person I love most,

I will never forgive him.
