Thank you

for saving me today.

By the way,

what were you doing here?

I have an appointment with Surasit today.

He wants to discuss an investment.

You were lucky I ran into you.

But don't you think it's strange

that he asked to meet both of us on the same day?

Are you saying Surasit might be up to something?

I don't know.

I might be wrong.

But Surasit has been extra nice to me lately.

Don't you think it's strange though?

Is it possible that he's keeping his enemy close?

I'm sure it's fine.

He might be toying with you,

but he never toyed with my feelings.

If Surasit is so great,

why don't you go out with him?

If you had accepted his car, you wouldn't have gotten wet.

Tassanai is another good candidate.

Surasit can give you a car while Tassanai can give you a house.

Both of them will be able to take great care of you.

Stop it.

Can you stop saying that?

Stop trying to set me up with other men.

I don't like it.

I'm not struggling financially

that I need a man to support me.

I have my family's business.

I can support myself.

Si.

I canceled the appointment.

(Liar)

(Liar)

Excuse me, your car is ready.

Thank you very much. How much do I owe you?

It's 2,000 baht.

Wait a moment.

Here you go. Thank you.

Thank you.

I'll transfer you the money once my phone is fixed.

Don't worry about it.

It's fine.

The amount isn't much. I can pay for myself.

I know it's not much. That's why I don't want it back.

Are you going home now then?

Yes.

I'll follow you with my car and make sure you arrive home safely.

It's getting late.

No, it's okay.

I've caused you enough trouble.

Si, if your car breaks down again...

Dom, I said I'm fine.

I can drive home myself.

Thank you again for today.

- Si... - Why are you following me?

I need to make sure that you arrive home safely.

Don't pretend to care about me.

I'll be fine.

I'm making myself pretty clear that I don't want you to come.

Please leave.

Si.

I really care about you.

I know I upset you the other day.

But given your car's condition, please put your anger behind you.

Your car might break down again anytime.

I can't let you go home alone.

Please let me send you home.

Thank you for your concern.

But I'll be fine.

My house is close by.

Also, there are other cars on the street.

It's not a secluded area. I can take care of myself.

You should go.

Si.

Would you like some grilled squid?

No, thank you.

Come eat some porridge with me then.

Let's get

some hot porridge with delicious side dishes. I'm hungry.

Aren't you?

Si.

You can be mad at me all you want, but you still need to eat.

All right? It's on me.

What would you like to order?

Excuse me.

You are scaring her.

Is everything all right?

Do you know him?

No, I don't.

Why would I know someone who works at a porridge shop?

I think I know you.

You got the wrong person.

- You are... - Oh, I remember you.

Doesn't your mother work as my neighbor's maid?

Order whatever you want.

Hey.

Ked!

Watch where you are going.

Look at the mess.

Ked!

Are you okay?

Boss.

Oh no.

How could you be so careless?

Go clean yourself up.

You clean up the mess.

Yes, Boss.

I'm sorry.

I'll ask the chef to cook you a new one.

I'm sorry.

Are you startled?

Miss.

You look startled.

No, I'm fine.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry on his behalf. The waiter is new.

He doesn't know what to do.

It's okay.

Did you order?

Not yet, but we will soon.

Please take a seat.

Our omelet and garlic squid are very delicious.

Someone will take your order.

- Okay. - Thank you.

Si.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Anyway, what should we eat?

What about stir-fried kale?

Sure.

What are you doing?

The water will cause a blister.

I'm fine.

It only burns a little.

Are you sure?

Yes, you already wiped the hot soup off me.

I'm really okay.

Thank you.

What do you think you are doing?

This is why you wanted to work for me.

You know, I only hired you

because my daughter

begged me to.

Your true intention isn't to work,

but to hit on my daughter. Isn't that right?

Dad.

I was just checking on his burn.

You saw how he got hurt.

He was distracted.

The incident wouldn't have happened

if he had focused on his task.

I'm sorry, Boss.

It was an accident.

And nothing is going on

between us.

But you like her, don't you?

It's obvious.

You said you wanted to earn money for your education.

It's just an excuse.

You are clearly

not working hard.

Dad, it was an accident.

He will be more careful from now on.

Stay out of it.

Listen to me.

Every employee here

works hard to support themselves.

Nobody is slacking off like you.

I might just fire you.

Please don't fire me.

I need the money.

I will work hard, and I won't screw up again.

Boss, you can deduct my pay, but please don't fire me.

I'm begging you.

Work hard, okay?

Why are you still here?

- Go watch the restaurant. - Yes, Dad.

There better be nothing going on between you and my daughter.

I'm keeping an eye on you. Remember this.

If you touch her, I will kill you.

Yes, Boss.

Here's your change.

Keep the change.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Did that boy get hurt?

He's okay.

All right then.

Shall we go?

Sure.

I'll clean the table. You can take care of other things.

That's enough.

Take the money.

I'm not paying for the night shift since I won't let you work tonight.

You injured your arm, didn't you?

You will only make more of a mess.

- Go home. - Thank you, Boss.

Thank you.

Are you sure you didn't know that boy?

As I said, his mother works as my neighbor's maid.

We saw each other as children.

Don't worry about me. My house is close by. I'll drive home.

Okay then.

Drive safely.

I will.

Ked...

Wait.

Did you get hurt?

It's none of your problem.

How long have you been working there?

What did the owner say?

Did he make you pay?

Why do you ask? I thought we didn't know each other.

You pretended to know me on purpose,

didn't you?

Yes.

I wanted to know what that rich man would say

if he found out your brother worked at a cheap restaurant.

You should be grateful I didn't tell him you were my sister.

You said I was a son of a poor maid.

That poor maid happens to be your mother too.

Why would you do that?

If you ruin my plan,

I won't get a penny.

You and Mom won't get a penny.

You will continue to struggle and live in that house...

the maid's chamber

located inside a luxurious house

that we walk by every single day

but will never get to live in it.

Keep living that life if you want.

Has it ever crossed your mind that we could have used the money

you've spent on creating a fake rich identity

to actually move out and live in a better place?

You keep saying you are doing this for our family.

But the truth is you are doing this for yourself.

You keep the best part for yourself

and give us the leftovers.

The money you spend could easily be used

to feed our whole family.

Instead, we have to survive on leftover food.

Thank you for at least leaving some food

to feed our mother.

Do you know what Mom has to endure?

The things you and Dad put her through.

Dad gives you everything.

He provides you with everything you need.

You got to go to school.

Yet, you are spending our money

to buy a house to fool rich men.

If you don't feel sorry for Mom,

you should at least have some dignity.

Dignity?

What's so good about that?

Does dignity bring food to the table?

Does it make our lives better?

Tell me then. Is there a way

to make us rich quicker than what I'm doing?

Wake up and face reality.

I'm an office worker.

And you work as a server at a porridge shop.

We will never be rich despite how many years we work.

Is that why you are acting like a prostitute among rich men?

Don't look down on me.

Don't you ever look down on me. I don't do that.

You are no different than a prostitute.

Why are you upset?

Do you suddenly care about your dignity now?

I know I will never be rich working as a server.

But I wasn't given an opportunity like you were.

I have no choice.

Still,

I'm not embarrassed to tell people what I do for a living.

Do you dare tell people what you are doing?

No matter what I say...

you refuse to understand that I'm doing everything for our family.

You don't know

how much debt Dad is in.

Boonnate and Ruja are also helping me.

There's no turning back.

I have no choice but to keep going.

If you won't help me,

at least

try to understand

what I'm going through.

You are stuck in this situation

because of Dad's insatiability.

And you've been struggling financially all your life...

because Mom settled for poverty.

You brought home so much food.

Hey, go ask Si to join us for dinner. She's home.

She already ate. She won't be interested in joining us.

Did your friend really give you all this food?

Actually, I got it from a nearby restaurant.

I see.

This is yours.

Keep it.

Where's the money from?

You didn't do anything illegal, did you?

No, Mom.

I'm working at the restaurant I mentioned.

The money is my payment.

I asked the owner if I could have this leftover food.

You don't mind, do you?

I want you to eat good food for once.

Ked.

You won't have time to study for college

if you spend all your time working.

- The entrance exam has passed. - What?

I'll focus on working for now.

I can go to college later.

Are you sure? I know how badly you want to go to college.

We don't have any money.

Your beloved husband and daughter have spent all our money.

That's why we have to live off leftover food.

How much is the tuition for the culinary school you want to go to?

Tell me and I'll find the money for you.

It's okay, Mom. I have a job now.

Soon, I'll have money

to send myself to school and lighten your burden.

I'll become rich in my own way.

I will show Dad and Si

that we don't need to fool anybody with a fake identity.

We fight as a poor person with dignity.

Fight as a poor person?

With dignity?

Life isn't that easy.

Previously, our factory had been putting in a lot of effort

to make fake leather appear genuine.

But no matter how hard we tried, it still didn't look genuine.

Do you know why?

Because...

fake leather is still a different class no matter what.

I'm going to fight in my own way.

(Surasit: Are you still up?)

Surasit...

(Are you still up?)

Yes, Surasit.

I tried calling you so many times,

but I couldn't reach you.

My phone ran out of battery.

Where did you go today?

I didn't go anywhere.

I wasn't aware my phone ran out of battery.

So I didn't charge it.

What's up?

I have a project to propose.

What project?

I'm thinking of establishing my own shoe brand.

I thought it would be a good idea to include clothes

as part of my collection. We could market both product lines.

I also would like to sign a contract with your clothing factory.

I want you to work with me from coming up with designs

to selecting designers.

We'll go through everything together.

And I would be glad

if you wanted to co-found this brand with me

in the future.

I'm not sure

how much money each of us should put down to start this.

It may be tens of millions each.

Don't worry though.

I'll give you my part of the investment in cash

since this will be my business,

not my mother's.

Are you interested in being my partner?

I look forward to working with you.

Listen, make a deal with him as soon as possible.

He's offering you a ton of money. Take it.

Yes, I agree. Make a deal with him.

Don't think too much.

Otherwise, you will lose the money.

Don't worry.

Boonnate and Ruja will come up with a plan for you.

Likewise.

Thank you for trusting me.

Can I visit your factory sometime then?

My factory?

Yes.

How are we going to find a clothing factory?

It's easy. We'll pick a clothing factory

and pretend like your family owns it.

If he wants to visit,

we'll let Tiwa and Baanyen act like the owner.

It would be easy if it was a small factory.

But we told him

our factory is one of the biggest factories in the country.

We have to give it a shot.

Are you going to let this chance go just like that?

Listen, I'll ask around to see

if anybody knows a big factory owner.

It would be easier if we had connections.

If Surasit asks about the factory,

come up with an excuse for now.

I don't think

it's a good time to visit my factory.

Why is that?

My father is quite protective

of me.

I haven't told him about us.

Why don't we proceed with other stuff first?

Once everything is settled,

I will take you to the factory and introduce you to my family.

It would look good

if I told my family

that we met

through business.

Okay, that sounds good.

If the plan goes well,

we will make millions of baht.

We are about to be rich!

Good morning.

What's the meaning of this?

What are you planning to do?

You made a note that you planned

to use Simala's factory to produce your T-shirts.

What is it? Why didn't you tell me?

I've been meaning to tell you.

Si and I are establishing a brand of shoes and clothes.

No, I won't allow it.

Mom, I'm using my own money.

The shoes won't be affiliated with your brand.

I'm only paying your factory and Simala's to produce the products.

This has nothing to do with your business.

I don't need your permission.

Wait.

What did you just say?

How could you say that to me?

I can't be a mama's boy forever.

You are about to do a business

- with a stranger... - Mom, give me a chance to do this!

Stop nitpicking me.

I'm worried about you.

I really am.

Do you understand that I'm worried about you?

Hello.

Sure, I'll be right there.

I have to go.

Wait. Are you going to see Simala?

No.

If you don't believe me,

feel free to send someone to tail me.

Surasit.

Why do you suddenly want me to look after your investment?

My mother knows every investment advisor I could think of.

You are the only person my mother won't call

to ask about my money.

Please keep it a secret.

I will.

Also, Si and I are planning to invest in a business together.

What do you think?

Investing in a business with Si?

Yes.

I'm establishing a brand,

and Si will be in charge of the clothes produced by her factory.

That sounds interesting.

Congratulations in advance.

Thank you.

I want to create something that is truly mine.

It's time I build a family of my own.

And I'm ready

to care for Si.

I will invite you

to the launch event of our brand

when the time comes.

I'll be there.

- Mom. - Yes.

Did you draw these designs yourself?

No.

The students who hired me to sew their dresses drew them.

Why do you ask?

Which designer drew these?

It's hard to choose because I love them all.

It's a secret.

You shouldn't keep secrets from me.

We are partners now.

It's not a secret. I was just teasing you.

The truth is many designers worked on these together.

Most of them are young designers

since I want your brand's designs to be trendy.

It's not my brand. It's our brand.

I'm only helping you start the business and supply clothes.

I haven't decided on collaborating with you as I still have

to hear your offer.

I'll give you the best offer.

Tell me what you want.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Mark your words.

I'm glad

you accepted my business deal.

We get to spend time together.

Si, I've never been this happy before in my life.

Well, my mother has never let me get this close to any woman before.

And that is why...

I've never had a girlfriend.

I'm glad

that I make you happy.

You make me really happy.

I'll pay you for the expenses right now.

Thank you.

- I'll see you next time. - Okay.

Hello, Panpit.

What brings you here?

I didn't expect to see you here again.

Have you not told your mother

about us?

I have.

I'm sorry I didn't notify you that we were using the conference room.

We were planning our future together. How exciting.

We were talking about his brand.

Listen, why don't we have the next meeting

at your house?

It's a good idea since we won't have to occupy your mother's office.

No.

The conference room is all yours.

Let me know when the next meeting is.

I might be of help to you.

We will.

Since we are about to invest in a business together,

I want to get to know your parents better.

I also want to visit your family's factory.

Would you be okay with that?

I can't wait to visit

one of the biggest clothing factories

in the country.

That sounds like a plan, Panpit.

Did you already say yes to her?

Yes, Dad.

I won't let Panpit look down on us and threaten us one-sidedly.

We have to find a factory as soon as possible.

It's not easy to find

a factory.

I know, Dad.

But if Ruja and Boonnate desperately want the money,

they will have to find us one.

I know

they are pressuring you

to push me to proceed with the plan and take Surasit's money.

They are helping us

so you have money to pay them back, aren't they?

All right.

I'll ask Boonnate and Ruja to find a factory for us as soon as possible.

Thanks, Dad.

It's time I make Panpit stop looking down on me.

Enough is enough.

Wow.

I didn't know you could design clothing.

Isn't it pretty?

I didn't design it though.

A student did. I'm altering it to make a new design.

You know, fashion students hire a cheap tailor like me

to make their designs.

Then they submit my work to their professors.

I'm tweaking their designs by adding little details to them.

And why are you doing this?

Well...

I'm making these for Si.

Why does she want these designs?

I don't know.

You are already busy with work.

Yet, here you are going the extra mile for Miss Si.

Don't call her that.

I don't know what she wants to do with these.

But in the past, I could never do anything to please her.

This is probably the first time

she's asking me to do something for her.

That's why I want to do it well.

It's not beyond my ability.

Plus, I'm happy to do it.

As long as you are happy.

Hey, Si.

What do you think

of my piece of work?

- I like it, Mom. - My goodness.

I'm working on the rest of them.

- Mom. - Yes.

Once I get the first payment,

I'll give you your share right away.

No, I don't want it. You keep it.

How much is your tuition?

Ked, tell her.

I don't need your help. I'll support myself.

She's offering to pay your tuition. Just tell her. Don't be rude.

Mom, I said I'll support myself.

You little...

All right then.

Si.

What is it, Dad?

Ruja found us a factory.

Really, Dad?

Whose factory is it?

That's right. That clothing factory belongs to my relative.

I see.

Why do you ask?

Well...

Here's the thing.

My factory

received a large order from a client.

It's very important to my family that we get this order shipped.

As I told you, my factory is facing

some problems.

We are not ready for the order.

Due to that reason, we need to find another factory

to produce this order.

Personally,

I don't have a problem with it.

I'll ask my relative for you.

I'll also tell him to give you a special price.

Thank you very much.

There's more.

My client has requested

to view the factory.

This deal is very important to my family.

We are building credibility.

However,

if I tell them that we are asking another factory

to help produce their order,

it will affect our reputation

and ruin our credibility.

They might decide not to do business

with us again.

Listen.

It might sound strange to you,

but it is very important

that I tell the client

I own your relative's factory

on the day of the visit.

I understand

if you are against the idea.

Any factory owner would be.

I've taken enough of your time.

I don't want to cause trouble

between you and your relative either.

I'm sorry for bothering you.

I'll find another factory.

Let's do it.

On the day of the visit,

that factory will belong to your family.

You can order anybody around

or do

whatever you want.

Really, Boss?

Thank you so much.
