Tiwa and Baanyen?

Those names don't ring a bell.

That's not surprising.

When I was young,

I thought all of my friends would know my parents

owned a clothing factory.

I bragged to them often.

But after I grew up,

I came to understand

that it's quite normal

for people to own businesses

much larger than my family's, which I didn't even know about.

Especially you,

the owner of the largest shoe factory in the country.

She's just like me, Mother.

When I was young,

I used to think all of my friends only wore our shoes.

I thought everyone knew

our factories and you and Father.

How many times have I told you

not to speak so impulsively?

And don't drink too fast. You might choke, understand?

Yes, Mother.

Ruja told me you're planning on going to Paris?

Paris?

When?

Ruja didn't mention that.

What do I say?

You're going to Paris?

That's nice. I haven't been there in ages.

Yes.

Why are you going there?

I'm attending Fashion Week

in case I find something useful to apply to the business.

Fashion Week?

For your line of work, I think

it should be management

or dealing with various shopfronts.

By the way, what's your position

at your parents' company?

But by the looks of you,

I guess you don't get to do much.

No.

But I still oversee the company's operations.

(Factory's AR)

It's a call from the company.

Answer it.

There must be something if they're calling now.

Quickly, now.

Yes, Mother.

Excuse me for a second.

Even though Surasit's the son of factory owners,

he still has to work.

He works as a

marketing manager.

But by the looks of you,

your parents must've been managing the company so well.

It doesn't seem like you have to do much.

How lucky you are.

(Liar)

(Liar)

What's wrong with your shoes?

They're new,

so I'm not used to them.

I don't think these shoes are

suitable for the shape of your feet.

I'm sorry for observing your shoes.

I work with shoes.

So I can't help but observe other people's shoes.

These shoes seem

pricey and classy.

Thank you.

But they don't suit you.

It's okay.

I'll put on blister pads.

Surasit gave me some the other night

at the party where we met.

We didn't even know each other,

but he approached me and took care of me.

He's a very lovely and polite man, Mother.

Panpit.

But I think you should change.

Whatever doesn't suit you

or if your shoes don't work, you should change them.

You should find something more suitable.

Oh, Sit?

All good?

Same old problem, Mother.

I did what you suggested.

The factory's dealing with it.

Well done.

Si, I'm sorry.

I have to constantly answer phone calls.

It's okay.

She probably understands that work is more important.

Let's go out for a meal again.

How are you getting home?

I'll carpool with you.

I already told my driver to go home.

I'll come with you. There's also more work for me to do.

I drove myself here. Don't worry.

We should go.

I have an important document to sign.

Let's go.

All right. I should go.

Drive safe.

I will.

Bye.

Surasit,

we still haven't exchanged numbers.

Finally! You agreed to do that!

Isn't that a good idea?

It is!

We'll talk later.

Sure.

I don't like this woman.

Why not?

I don't think she's suitable for you,

and I know she's not that good of a person.

I have a strong hunch.

A hunch?

That's it?

But Mother,

you should be more reasonable.

You want reasons?

Here.

First of all,

Simala is not a diligent woman.

She doesn't do much each day

and only cares about her looks.

Let alone helping us out at our company,

she probably just goes on shopping sprees.

I don't think she's going to Paris

for work either

because she plans to go shopping.

But we still don't know her.

She might not be like what you think.

Second of all,

you said it yourself.

She might not be as we think.

Aren't you overthinking it?

She's probably just nervous because you came for lunch too.

She didn't plan to meet you right from the start.

I don't think I'm overthinking.

Remember,

before you fall for someone,

you have to know them well.

Each woman I've arranged for you to meet over a meal,

I know them well.

Who they are, where they came from, and what they do.

You have feelings for Simala.

How is that even possible?

You don't even know her.

And let me tell you.

This woman isn't suitable for you.

Mother!

If we're going to fall for someone, does it really matter

whether we know who they are,

what their job is, and what their family's status is?

Panpit?

Excuse me. Here's the document that needs your signature.

Can you look into someone for me?

Who is it, Panpit?

A woman called Simala.

I don't like that Panpit at all.

How come?

I met her today.

She doesn't seem so fond of me,

and she implied

I'm not suitable for her son.

It's normal for a mother

to be protective of her only son.

But it seems like

Surasit likes you a lot, doesn't it?

But he doesn't seem like

he can offer me any protection.

His mom gave him a huge telling-off when he coughed a bit

because he choked while he was eating.

It doesn't matter how high up his position is at his company,

his mom still controls everything.

And he seems very obedient to her.

If his mom doesn't like me,

let me tell you. It's going to be a tough one.

Hey, don't give up hope just yet.

Isn't he very rich?

Who said I'm giving up hope?

I exchanged numbers with him right in front of his mom.

Attagirl!

Way to go!

But I'm not so sure either, Dad.

I probably just wanted to defeat her.

I don't think I really...

like Surasit that much.

Then there's still Tassanai.

And that other man. What's his name? Warodom?

How come you never told me about him?

I want to know who his parents are, what his job is,

and why you're so infatuated with him.

Well...

He's the kind of man...

who's charming.

(Simala)

Oh?

I guess he's busy.

Who called, Dom?

A client.

Shouldn't you answer it?

At the moment, my time is your time.

I have to do my best to devote myself to you.

Dom,

after observing you,

I think

you must've come from a well-off family

or at least used to be well-off.

But I'm not going to dig into your private life and background.

I'm happy enough

you're spending time with me.

This is for your time tonight.

Thank you.

Please don't say I'm prying.

But it looks like...

you're in need of money, aren't you?

Let me know

if you need my help.

I will, Pumriang.

Thank you very much.

Here.

Please don't say I'm prying.

But it looks like...

you're in need of money, aren't you?

(Simala)

Who's calling at this hour?

(Warodom)

Dom?

Hello? Hello?

Okay.

Hello, Dom.

Hello, Si.

You called?

I was in a meeting with a client when you called me.

Is something the matter?

Oh! Did I?

I must have called by mistake.

I'm sorry for disturbing you.

It's okay.

Uh...

It's already quite late.

I should stop bothering you.

Not at all.

If you're still not too tired,

I can keep you company on the phone.

Then what should we talk about?

Uh...

Let's talk about...

Oh! Maybe about your business?

All right.

Well then.

Should we start with inflation?

I guess you've heard of the word and know the concept well.

Inflation?

What on earth is that?

Are you still listening?

Of course.

Go on. I'm enjoying it.

Inflation is

when the money we're holding loses its value.

Some people think of it as the cost of living going up.

Well, they're similar.

It has something to do with the economy.

The economy can both expand and regress.

During the expansion,

the graphs for stocks

reflect a bull market.

That's jargon used when talking about stocks.

Then there's the bear market when the graphs slope down.

It would be during a slowdown.

Most people believe investment can only be done during...

Ugh. When did I doze off?

Did he hear me snoring?

It would've been ugly. What should I do?

Oh!

Well, forget it.

The show must go on.

Ked,

out of the way.

Ked!

Get out of the way! I'm going to take a photo!

Si!

Hello, Boss.

Hey, there.

- Hi, Boss. - Hiya.

- Hi, Boss! - Oh, hey!

- Si. - Yes?

Hi, Boss.

I caught a glimpse of you at the car park just now,

so I ran after you.

We can head inside together.

How are things?

How's the car you're driving?

It's very nice.

Thank you for lending it to me.

Oh, it's okay. I still have many more

parked at home, not being used.

You can come over and use one of those.

Let me know when it's convenient for you.

Right. Let's wait until it's a good time.

Then I'll take you to my house

so you can choose.

- All right? - Oh.

It's okay, Boss.

I'm already very fond of this one.

Come on.

There's no need for consideration.

Let's do it this way. What about a brand-new car?

Whoa.

It's okay, Boss.

I shouldn't be a bother.

Si,

you're being considerate of me again.

If you change your mind,

you can always let me know.

Thank you, Boss.

I have a meeting with a VIP client today,

and I have to go there in person.

So I'd like you to come along.

With that beauty of yours,

it's going to be an easy transaction if the client sees you.

Please?

Sure.

- Hey! - Ah!

What is this?

You startled me!

I get startled every time I see your face!

Can you at least spruce yourself up?

Don't be such an eyesore!

Oh, and I have a meeting

with a VIP client today.

You have to call them and confirm it. But have you?

No, you haven't!

Why haven't you? Get on with it, understand?

- Yes. - Ugh. What is this?

Morning, Joobjang.

Boss, The client is on their way.

Huh?

Do you like it, Si?

You haven't been to this house, have you?

No, I haven't.

Would it be okay if I walk around to have a look?

Of course. Go for it.

Thank you.

The stock you recommended is

surging right now.

Buy ten million more.

I'll transfer the money to you.

Oh, Si?

Well,

I made millions in the stock market today.

Do you want anything?

A sports car?

Or maybe a condo on the Chaopraya River?

Huh?

Oh.

Nate is calling again.

He probably wants to borrow money again.

Since we've made millions,

I'm thinking of taking care of his debt for him.

All right?

What's up, Nate?

Hang on. I have good news for you.

(Baanyen Boutique)

Can you arrange a meeting with the designer tomorrow?

Mm.

I want to make some changes

to the designs of the collection for the Paris Fashion Week.

Ked!

Are you ready to taste the cooking of a chef who graduated from

the world's top culinary school?

Ms. Secretary?

What?

The Boss told me to come and get you.

The client will be arriving soon.

Follow me.

Huh?

Tassanai.

How come he's here?

You actually came in person, Krachang?

Of course.

Why wouldn't I come and take care

of a VIP client like you myself?

What do you think?

This one's only 150 million.

Should we just sit down and sign the contract?

This is 150 million?

Do you mind if I walk around?

Of course not.

Please feel free.

Please.

Oh?

Tassanai,

can I have a look at the house too?

I don't want to wait in the car.

Of course.

All right. This way, please.

This is lovely.

Whoa.

This room is perfect.

Ugh!

What's with you?

You don't have to be this close.

I've been trying to ask you many times where Simala is!

I already went to call her over, Boss.

Oh? So where is she?

I don't know.

You're so useless.

Take this.

Where are they off to now?

It's my fault now?

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Si...

Dad!

Dad,

why did you make an illegal investment again?

I don't want to see you in that state again.

I'm sorry.

I just want to do something to make our money grow.

You followed Boonnate's advice again, didn't you?

What is it this time?

Well,

it's just a small investment.

What investment?

Crypto.

Dad!

Do you even know what that is?

You're going back to your old habits again, aren't you?

You borrowed someone's money

for an investment and couldn't turn it around in time.

And when you couldn't, then it's the same old story again.

They sicced someone on you.

If that's what you're going to do,

then where am I supposed to get you the money?

It's okay.

You don't have to help me.

I'll let Boonnate help me.

He can help with everything.

I'll go and call him, okay?

Why wouldn't I come and take care

of a VIP client like you myself?

This one's only 150 million.

Should we just sit down and sign the contract?

Ruja,

I have to ask you a favor.

You said you're going to arrange a meeting for me and Tassanai.

How is that going?

All done, Pumriang.

Thank you for fixing it for me.

I should've just called management.

But then you volunteered.

Look at you.

You're drenched in sweat.

Let me help you.

I can do it.

It's nothing at all.

There's no need to feel considerate.

Mom?

How are you, my son?

I haven't seen you in a while.

Which house have you been camping out at lately?

We own a lot of houses, Mom.

I just keep changing places to stay the night.

I don't like being in one place.

But it can be anywhere as long as you're not there.

Why? What have I ever done to you?

I'm just worried I might come in

and run into someone

walking around the house with his junk out.

Pervert!

Huh?

Why is there a man's shirt?

Stay out of this.

Mom,

about Ruja arranging

Simala to come and meet me, how is that going?

Gee,

you always rush over to me when it's about that woman.

Do you really like her that much?

She doesn't look like an easy woman

unlike the others I've met.

I like that.

She's quite the challenge.

And do you know

your competition is Panpit's son?

Panpit is a tiger mom.

She'll never let him be with a woman she didn't choose.

Don't be too reckless.

It looks like Surasit's very into Simala.

They've already met.

He'll whisk her away if you dillydally.

And I heard

there was another man

who met Simala at Madame Ouan's birthday party

and took a liking to her as well.

He's also your competition.

Ruja told me

all the men from that night had

their eyes on her.

I think it's time you up your game.

From what I've been hearing,

Simila's quite a fascinating woman.

Her family's wealth is good.

They own a clothing factory and export business.

You said she's not an easy woman.

It means she didn't show signs of gaining anything from you.

If possible,

I want you to be serious with a decent woman

so you can finally start a family.

Let's talk about that later, Mom.

Focus on the present.

When's the earliest I can see Simala?

Ruja's already told me the date and location of the meeting.

Hi.

Hi, Si.

You look different from when we first met.

I'm going to be having dinner with you after all.

I can't be average.

Have a seat.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

I never thought a posh girl like you could

be this much fun to talk to.

Right.

There's one thing I haven't made clear to you.

What is it?

About you sniping that house from me.

Which one?

The one that costs 150 million from Krachang's company.

Oh.

You had your eyes on that one too?

Of course.

But Krachang doesn't know about this.

I had a friend keeping tabs on it.

Anyway, why did you buy it?

Is there any good news?

Are you trying to trick me

into saying whether I've been

secretly seeing someone?

You've probably seen me with many women, haven't you?

Honestly,

I'm not planning on becoming serious with any of them.

So are we going to discuss housing

or my women?

If you want that house,

I can let you have it.

I'll sell it to you for the price I bought it.

Gee,

I thought you were going to give it to me for free.

It's 150 million, and you want it for free?

I'm afraid we can't keep talking like this.

You said you're not planning on becoming serious with anyone.

But you're going to be serious with me?

And do you want to give it a try?

I'll have to think about it.

Are you hesitating

between me

and Surasit?

Then you know you have competition.

- Si. - Yes?

What are you doing?

Don't pay a man-child like Surasit any attention.

A guy like him won't

have the courage to speak up

or be straightforward,

unlike what I'm doing.

He'll never defy his mom.

You're interested in me as well, aren't you?

That's why you came all the way here to see me.

If you want to find out if I'm going to be serious with you,

try going out with me

so you won't have to waste your time.

Si!

Dom?

Uh...

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to interrupt...

Oh, you didn't.

Nothing's happening.

Oh, it's great you're here.

I just remembered I want to talk to you about something.

It's about...

about our investment.

Oh, sure.

Well then. I'll go and wait for you over there.

- If you're available... - Okay.

I am.

Let's go over there and talk.

Um...

This is Tassanai.

Warodom.

Anyway, I have to go.

See you later.

After you.

Are you okay?

Just now,

you meant to come to my rescue?

That's right.

You didn't seem comfortable with what that guy was doing.

Thank you.

But you willingly went out for dinner with him.

I was in the restaurant just now.

Oh dear.

What did he see?

My seduction game was at its max too.

What should I do?

I see.

Why?

Are you jealous?

You're something, all right.

Good thing I followed to see what kind of woman you are.

So, are you a posh girl who toys with men just for fun?

Are you going to toy with me too?

All right.

And what if I'm actually jealous? What would you say?

See?

You've fallen for me now, haven't you?

You're flirting with me.

What are you saying?

But if you're actually jealous,

then I have to be honest with you.

You have a lot of competition.

Oh, you're going to use that line with me?

Watch out.

You'll be the one falling for me.

Uh...

I think I've taken up enough of your time tonight.

Anyway, I should go.

Okay. Get home safe.

Thank you.

Let's see how you'll react to this.

Call me when you get home.

Sure.

Get home safe.

I will.

Bullseye.

You're going to call me eventually.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

(Simala)

Hello, Si.

I'm home now.

There's no need to worry.

Okay.

You should go to bed soon.

I won't ask to talk tonight.

You might start snoring again.

Did you hear...

me snoring that night?

I did.

I'll let you go to bed for now.

We'll talk later, okay?

Okay.

Talk to you later.

Sweet dreams.

You too.
