Ms. Nezumi,

why is Mr. Mark giving me a project?

Isn't it suspicious?

Was what I did so unforgivable that you had to avoid me?

Ms. Nezumi,

come with me right now.

What are you doing?

Have you gone to bed?

Not yet. I'm about to take a shower.

You're home already, right?

I just got home.

Here're your meal and coffee.

Thank you.

Ms. Nezumi?

Yes?

Are you sick?

No, I'm not.

Is there anything wrong?

About what?

You look strange.

Is there anything that you haven't told me?

Nothing.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Then, please get back to work.

Yes.

Ms. Nezumi?

Ms. Nezumi, are you alright?

Do you want to get up?

Yes.

Hello.

Hi.

Ms. Nalinee's condition is not a big concern.

Her body is weak now because of sleep deprivation and stress,

and it seems she didn't have her meal on time.

Please take a lot of rest and have your meal on time,

and you'll feel better.

Once the IV fluid is used up, you can leave.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Actually, you shouldn't have brought me to the nursing room.

It's just that I didn't get enough sleep.

Ms. Nezumi, why didn't you sleep?

Did I overwork you?

Do you know how shocked I was seeing you pass out in front of my eyes?

I'm seriously worried about you, Ms. Nezumi.

I'm sorry for making you feel worried.

I have a meeting in Japan until Friday.

You can take a sick leave until you fully recover.

[Let me know when you arrive home.]

You're back already?

Where have you been?

Why did you come home late again?

I had been working.

I already told you earlier.

Why does your job finish this late every day?

Does your office job really give you that much workload?

I had an urgent task, so I came back late.

You didn't keep sticking with that Japanese boss, did you?

I didn't.

Boss is away now. He's in Japan working.

I'm exhausted. Please excuse me.

Noom Nim, where are you going?

Whenever your lie fails,

you always cut the conversation short and head into your room!

I already warned you before not to trust any guy that much,

especially a foreigner.

Plus, he's your boss.

He won't stay with you long.

If you get deceived, you can't be sad!

I told you already that I didn't spend time with any guy.

What kind of person do you think I am?

Nim, don't raise your voice to me! I'm your mom.

If you lie and I don't blame you for that, what else must I do then?

But I already told you that I had been working, but you don't believe me.

What should I do?

Just frankly admit that you're lying to me. What's so hard about it?

There can't be any job that finishes this late!

There is.

You want to know

which job makes me come back home this late every day, right?

Here you are.

I translate books and websites.

I work as an interpreter.

I do everything to get paid.

If I didn't do all of these,

then who would earn money to pay for the car, house and all the debts

that Nut and you have incurred but never tried to solve?

Why haven't I known about these at all?

It's because you never asked.

You never asked how I was doing...

or whether I was tired.

For the car and all your debts, I've so far earned almost enough to cover them.

As soon as I make it, I'll transfer it to you.

Please return the money to Nui right away. She is also in trouble now.

I'm going out for a while.

Nim!

Nim!

Nezumi, where are you now?

At the coffee shop near my house.

Okay.

Wait there. Don't go anywhere.

What about your urgent business in Japan?

I already made a video call on my phone.

The client was fine with that.

Don't worry.

I'm sorry for having left you alone.

I'm already here to pick you up, Nezumi.

Are you feeling better now?

Sometimes, looking far away without thinking about anything just makes me feel better.

That's not true.

You're feeling better because you're with me now.

We're in a relationship,

so if there's anything going on, you must let me know.

If not, then why would you have a boyfriend for?

Just for hugging?

It's not like that.

Just tell me about it when you feel like doing so.

Or if you don't want to tell me.

Or if you don't want to tell me, then it's up to you.

Well, it's about a financial problem in my family.

Actually, I don't feel good either to share my family issue with others.

My mom always spends money lavishly.

When she doesn't have enough,

she will keep borrowing from friends, neighbors, or her relatives.

But she's decided not to tell me about it.

In the end, it's me who must take responsibility by earning the money to pay off all the debts.

But she's my mom. I can't let myself do nothing or scold her.

But it's just that...

I do feel tired for always having to solve all the things I've never caused.

And that's why you also worked hard for other jobs without telling me either, right?

You knew?

It's not that I didn't want to tell you or anything,

but I know that you already have lots of problems to deal with.

I don't want to give you any more burden to worry about.

But how can it be fine to me to see my girlfriend in trouble like this?

Am I right?

Silly kid.

I'm sorry.

Next time, I will think more carefully.

Promise me that you won't do like this again.

Yes.

Come here.

If you have a boyfriend, and he's not reliable,

then it means that I'm the worst boyfriend in the world.

That's not true.

You're the best boyfriend on Earth.

Do you want to go home now...

or eat something first?

I'm not hungry.

I'll drive you home then.

I don't want to go home yet.

So, where are you going to sleep tonight?

I guess I'll go to my friend's place.

I don't allow you to.

I saw that you didn't eat much in the evening.

Thank you.

I was about to tell you to blow on it first because it's hot.

Are you alright?

Let me see.

It's no longer hot, right?

Drink your milk first. I'll go upstairs to arrange the bed for you.

You don't need to.

I'll sleep on the sofa.

What kind of man will let his girlfriend sleep on the sofa?

But this is your place. How can I let you sleep on the sofa?

Well, I won't be sleeping on the sofa either.

Huh?

Why are you surprised?

We slept on the same bed before, didn't we?

Do you remember?

I was drunk then!

I have some umeshu here.

Boss!

I know.

I'm just kidding.

You're going to sleep in my room. I will sleep on the sofa.

But...

I'm the owner of this room,

so you have two options.

Sleep alone in the room or sleep together with me.

What's your choice?

You're still up?

Yes. I have insomnia.

I'm not familiar with the place.

Would you like to sleep in your room upstairs?

I can sleep on the sofa, so I can also watch TV.

Let's watch it together then.

Smells so good.

You can cook?

Morning.

You're up already?

I woke up because of the good smell.

I didn't know that you can cook.

You always cook for me, so I want to cook for you, too.

Don't you like it?

Of course, I like it.

It's so nice having a boyfriend who cooks for me.

I'll eat now.

Let me see.

Very yummy!

I want to have breakfast like this every day.

So, stay here...

forever if you want.

How can I? I have a home to go back to.

How will you deal with that issue then?

I don't know yet.

I spoke to my mom badly yesterday.

I don't have any courage to go back now. I dare not confront her.

Having a home to go back to is totally a great thing.

If you were me, would you go back?

Me?

I don't know either.

We'd better eat now, or we will be late for work.

Nezumi, is it cold?

Not really. It's rather hot.

Is that so? Should I turn up the air-con?

It's alright.

You've ridden in my car for many times already. You aren't used to it yet?

If we're going somewhere else, then it doesn't feel strange to me,

but now we're heading to the office.

To the office?

So what?

Well, we're dating now, but others at the office don't know about it yet.

If anyone sees us arriving at the office together,

we could be gossiped.

That's it? You don't need to care about it.

Don't underestimate how gossipy office girls are!

They can turn a single truth into hundreds of stories through gossips.

So, what should I do?

Just drop me there.

There's a motorbike taxi over there.

It won't take long to arrive at the office.

You're sure you want it that way?

Yes.

Believe me. I don't want to put you in trouble.

Alright.

Over there.

Hey, why aren't you upstairs yet?

I'm about to go now.

What's wrong?

Hello, Boss.

Good morning.

Why are you still staring at me? Why don't you go first?

Hello, Boss.

Hi.

What's with that face?

I have something to talk to you.

If you still pretend that you didn't hear what I said,

I'll handle you now.

I'm sorry.

I give up now.

What were you going to say?

I don't want to hide our relationship from others.

Why are you afraid of gossips?

That's because I'm worried about you.

Worried about me?

They will criticize you if they find out about our relationship.

If you treat me well, they will say that it's because we're dating.

If you tell me off, they will say that we have a fight.

They will keep their eyes on our reactions.

I think it will be more difficult for us to work.

Do you understand?

You're more mature than I thought, Ms. Nezumi.

I'll give you a reward.

Mr. Akitsuki, I'll go in now.

Please come in!

Ms. Rena, would you like me to now proceed with what we discussed in the meeting today?

Yes. Send an e-mail to inform all the staff at the Bangkok office.

I'll manage the rest of the things myself.

Well-noted, Ms. Rena.

Boss, do you have anything else that needs washing apart from these?

What are you doing? Are you going to wash my clothes for me?

Yes.

Please let me do something. I don't want to just do nothing.

That's great,

so you can practice being my housewife.

Boss, are you imaging things too far?

I've only been working for a few months.

But I've been dreaming of having a family since I was 15.

Oh!?

You've longed to have a family since you were still a teen?

Yes.

Why is that so?

Why haven't you taken a shower and gone to bed?

Is there anything wrong?

No. I'm just thinking about tomorrow's work.

I see.

About the work you'll be discussing in Sriracha, right?

Are you sure that I don't have to go with you?

You don't have to go.

Or... are you actually going to meet up with a girl there?!

Since my girlfriend is this nice,

who else will I meet up with?

Please take a rest.

When I come back, let's eat out together.

But if there's anything on your mind, you must tell me.

Actually, there is one.

What is it?

When you're off work,

stop calling me Boss already.

What should I call you?

Mr. Koji or Darling will do.

I'll call you Mr. Koji then.

What are you doing, Ms. Nezumi?

I was cleaning your room and tidying up the closet,

but then I accidentally saw this box, so I thought...

- I'm sorry. - That's enough.

I'm not angry with you.

You look frustrated, so...

Nope.

I just don't know what to say.

Is this a picture of you?

Yes.

If you didn't want me to see it, I'm sorry.

Actually, I was thinking about sharing this story with you.

Anyway, I'll tell you now.

At first, I tore my dad's part out of this picture...

when he divorced my mother.

He left us and went back to Canada.

I was so young that I didn't know the true reason of their divorce.

I only knew that he had left us,

so I ripped his part because of my childish anger.

But ripping it didn't make anything better.

My mom brought me to Thailand after some time following their divorce.

In the beginning, we didn't have much money,

so my mom had to go out almost every day for work.

At first, it looked like she was just normally working.

But after I saw my mom with that man, everything had changed.

I'll transfer the money in every month...

if it's possible.

Mom...

Can you not go?

I'm sorry, Koji.

At first, I tried to contact her, but I always got declined.

So, I swore to myself that I wouldn't associate with her ever again.

Two years later, she called me but I didn't care.

I cut her off from all my contact channels,

and I went back to Osaka.

I had to struggle doing various jobs...

to earn myself money to study.

Before I'm here as who I am now, I've been through so many things.

One day, I received the bad news from Thailand.

My mom had cancer and passed away...

before I managed to get back to Thailand.

That made me question myself.

If that day I had decided to open up and pick up her call,

would things have somehow changed?

That's what I've always been thinking.

I understand your feeling towards your mom because I experienced it before.

Anyway, your mom might have something she wants to tell you,

but she's never said it before.

Can you stay here with me for one more night?

Please. I'll drive you home early in the morning.

Please?

Since you're being so adorably clingy like this,

I guess I must give in.

Don't be naughty.

Otherwise, I can't finish packing up.

That's fine.

Stay with me first.

Hey, don't! I must pack up my things.

Let me go.

[Rena]

Have you guys heard about the new COO from Japan?

This new COO will be restructuring and reshuffling some roles.

This COO is no ordinary woman.

You guys probably know her.

It's been a while, Ms. Noom Nim.
