Chapter 2


"Good evening, Khun Charn. I know that you prefer your clients to call your secretary first, but I hope that you won't mind and you will give me a chance to explain myself" the man at the door said. Charn looked at him for a moment to understand the kind of person in front of him. It wasn't the first time for the lawyer to get someone at his apartment, some of his clients didn't really like the long procedure to get an appointment and preferred a more straightforward approach.

"Of course, sir. Enter, please. May I offer your something to drink? Sit down and tell me how I may help you" Charn said calmly as he led his guest to the armchair in the living room. The man shook his head when Charn pointed at the bottle of whiskey on the table and replied that he wasn't allowed to drink while at work.

"I see, I didn't realize you were here on someone else's behalf, may I ask you what's your name and who sent you?" Charn remarked and sat down in front of him.

"I'm Arm, Khun Kimhan's assistant. He would like to ask you to handle the case of the aggressor's death. Considering the importance of my boss in the country, he preferred to avoid calling your secretary first, fearing that rumors could spread before you could actually accept the case" Arm explained.

"I see. I've just watched his interview on tv, you can tell him that I will accept his offer only after personally meeting him" Charn responded.

"My master is very busy, his schedule is..." Arm said but the lawyer quickly interrupted him:

"You don't understand, sir, I will never accept a case before speaking to the person directly linked to it. How am I supposed to know all the details from someone who probably wasn't even there? Tell him that I must meet him, he can choose the place and the time, I don't care, I can always make time for such a prestigious client" Charn explained with his almost psychotic smile.

"Could you give me a minute to call him, so that I can be more precise about it?" Arm asked, shifting a little uncomfortably in his seat. Charn shook his head, he said that someone could hear him and that it was better to go and ask his boss directly. Arm nodded and left the apartment.

Tinn was on his way back home when he spotted the elegant man leaving the apartment building. He rushed upstairs and opened the door as quickly as he could, even though he was getting so nervous that he ended up needing more time than usual to insert the key.

"Charn? Charn! Are you ok?" He shouted as he entered.

"I'm fine, why are you screaming like that? Our house is big but not that big to justify this behavior of yours. So, how was your lesson? Tell me you killed one of the kids" Charn whispered and wrapped his arms around his lover's neck.

"I've already told you that your joke isn't funny" Tinn replied smiling as he kissed his husband.

"And I'm pretty sure that my attitude shows that my jokes aren't intended to make you laugh" Charn added.

"So, who was that man in the black suit?"

"Oh, so you see a hot man leaving the building and you immediately think he came here to meet me? You're right, I'm so attractive that people really have a hard time resisting my charming nature, you're the perfect example after all" Charn responded.

"I'm serious, did he come for you?" Tinn asked with a much more serious and worried tone.

"Fine, I'll tell you the truth. Do you know Kimhan Theerapanyakul?"
