[bunniefuu]

Whatever the truth is,

I don't want to hear it.

I don't want to lose you again.

This woman is Neeraaumpan.

Veekit's mother who has been missing.

Hello, Tanya.

I know when we are
going to use those photos.

Next, please welcome Mr. Veekit Kraipiwat.

I'm Chanon Kanchanarak.

I'm here on behalf of Mr. Veekit
who has an emergency errand.

Tell me the truth.

The woman sitting next to
you was my mom, wasn't she?

Hello, all.

Please welcome Mr. Veekit Kraipiwat.

Hello.

I'm Chanon Kanchanarak.

I'm here on behalf of Mr. Veekit

who is currently sorting
out an important matter.

I will gladly walk you through

all the interesting applications we're
developing here at Next Innovation.

Mr. Vee...

Who is that with you?

I can't see the faces,

but I do remember that that's your shirt.

That's your handbag.

That's your hair!

That's my mother
sitting with you, isn't it?

Answer me!

Yes.



know friends, acquaintances,
or family members

who suffer from depression.

[This is a sad fact, but also a great
opportunity, for Next Innovation.]

Mr. Vee.

Please, let me explain.

You changed your name to Neeraaumpan

just to get me to hire you.

You're the only woman in the whole world

who could make me feel so stupid!

Get out!

Mr. Vee.

Go, Mirin.

Don't use poverty as an excuse
for doing such a horrible thing.

That was all the innovations
that Next Innovation has to offer.

How are things with Veekit?

Everything's taken care of.

Mr. Chanon, that was splendid.

Thank you.

This is my card.

I'd love to work with you.

TRUTH-WRECKED LOVE

Aew-eas.

Yes, Mr. Prapob?

Where are Veekit and Mirin?

Uhh... I don't know.

I saw them around the stage minutes ago.

Maybe they had some quarrel...

What do you mean, quarrel?

Uhh...

It seems Veekit is
dating his secretary, Dad.

They hold hands all merrily
even right before my eyes

with no regards to propriety, no less.

Your golden boy sure
is open, I'll give him that.

I have no qualms about who he's dating.

But I can't accept that
he's letting it affect work.

I guess you will have to talk to him, Dad.

You know he's never
listened to me since way back.

Excuse me.

Do not let my father find
out about Neeraaumpan.

Yes.

Mirin.

Mirin?

What's wrong, baby?

What happened?

Rin.

Mom...

- What's the matter?
- Rin.

Did... Did he find out?

Yes.

I was going to tell him on Sunday, but...

What are you talking about?

That woman we helped long ago.

She's Veekit's mother.

You mean the lady at the church?

Rin borrowed her name to get the job.

I just wanted a job, Grandma.

I didn't want to disappoint you two.

The fault was in your intention, baby.

You used his mother's name to
get his attention just to get hired.

But it's not like she's
robbing him or anything.

He gets a great employee
in return, doesn't he?

If she's just an employee, then
by all means, it should be fine.

But...

They fell in love.

What?

He must despise me so much right now

that I never brought up his mother,

especially when I know
he's been looking for her.

What could you have done, dear?

It was his mother who made
you promise to keep this a secret.

That's true.

Not to mention that she's
been a burden to us for years.

She's not even family.

How much will you
coddle your granddaughter?

Think about what that boy's going through.

He was completely fooled.

It doesn't matter what the reason
is, it won't make him feel any better.

I'm busy.

Tanya, I am not in the mood to...

Don't bother.

I just want to talk.

Where's Mirin?

Please, come in.

Grandpa.

Don't worry.

I'm just here to talk to you.

Let me.

Good job today.

You showed me Next
Innovation from a new angle.

Where are you going?

What's your problem with me?

She's been fooling you
about your mother all this time,

and you even fell for her.

But you can't even stand being in
the same room with me for a minute?

How did you know about Mirin and my mother?

Well, the photos are all
over the floor, aren't they?

I've seen a photo of your mother before.

I recognize her.

And it's not like it's hard
to connect the dots, Veekit.

Your mother has been missing for years,

and suddenly someone showed
up for a job with your mother's name.

Anyone would be able to
tell she planned to use you.

Amazing.

Aren't you a genius, Tanya?

Congratulations.

Now...

Can you leave me alone?

Again?

You're pushing me off again?

You know what?

Your reputation is ruined.

You're thoroughly finished,

while Chanon just scored
points with everyone.

And?

If you'd been nice to me
just a little, I might help you.

I don't care

what became of my reputation
or who did better than me today.

I'll have you know one thing,

even now that Mirin's become
someone who's lied to me

or destroyed me,

I will never love you, Tanya.

That is why...

I don't need your help.

I don't need your sympathy or anything.

Because if you even care
about my feelings right now,

you'll know that this is not
the right time to talk to me.

Please.

Get out.

You showed me the
part of Next Innovation...

that I might have overlooked.

But whatever it is,

Next Innovation can't go on without Veekit.

It's not because I love one
grandchild more than the other.

It's not because you're not good enough.

But Next Innovation needs both

Chanon Kanchanarak and Veekit Kraipiwat.

Why didn't you look after Veekit today?

Why did you let him miss the presentation?

Grandpa.

I've been telling you all this time.

You're the big brother here, Non.

You have to take care of
your cousin and the company.

Veekit is no longer a 10-year-old kid.

And I am an adult who
wants to spread his own wings.

Everyone has to take care of themselves.

That includes Veekit.

He's the CEO.

If he keeps failing to distinguish
when not to do something,

will Next be alright under his control?

Chanon.

Did I say something wrong?

Just because I'm not suffering
from a face-blinding condition,

does it mean I have no
right to even think for myself?

You should go get a checkup, too, Grandpa.

Maybe you also have some kind of blindness.

Maybe that's why you haven't
been able to see me for years.

Veekit was born later than I was,

but you've only been his "Granddad"
instead of my "Grandpa" ever since.

Do you even realize that you've
been doing that all this time?

Rin.

Let me ask you something.

Where did all those photos come from?

I don't know.

I don't know how those people
found out where Aunt Nee is.

Those people?

I think they're Mrs. Sroyphet's men.

Rin, then we need to tell
Nee that she's been found.

You're right.

Should I congratulate you on your
upcoming promotion right here and now?

Not when Prapob came
into my office reminding me

how Next Innovation needs
both Chanon and Veekit.

Well, mine went something like,

"Even when Mirin's lied to or destroyed me,

I will never love you."

Cheers.

What a nuisance.

True.

What a damn nuisance.

Doesn't Veekit realize
what Mirin did was wrong?

It's so wrong that he shouldn't
even want to look at her face again.

I didn't think Mirin
actually knew Aunt Nee.

That complicated everything.

What should we do now?

About what?

Everything.

I want to know what you
think, both about work and Mirin.

And there's also Neeraaumpan.

If Grandpa finds out Aunt Nee is alive,

the table could turn again.

And it surely won't be in our favor.

Then what should we do now?

I feel like there's a way to
tie all these problems together

that we can throw out in one swoop.

Does this include Mirin?

Maybe.

I'm sick of being overlooked.

I think I've had enough.

[You changed your name to Neeraaumpan]

Just to get me to hire you.

You're the only woman in the whole world

who could make me feel so stupid!

Go, Mirin.

Get out!

Mr. Vee.

Go, Mirin.

Don't use poverty as an excuse
for doing such a horrible thing.

[Mr. Vee,]

[please give me a chance to explain.]

[I know I was wrong for lying to you.]

[But please give me a chance.]

[Will you please let me take you to your mother?]

[After that,]

[you can hate me all you want.]

[Read]

[Just tell me where my mother is.]

[Yes. Please go to this address.]

[Mirin]

Kem, I need you to get Neeraaumpan
out of that church tomorrow.

Don't let anyone there know who you are.

[Yes, ma'am.]

[Where should I take her?]

I'll send you the location.

Call me when you have her.

I want to talk to her

about what she's been up to all these years

and why she sent Mirin here.

Hello.

I'm afraid the church is
closed to the public today.

Uh...

I'm looking for someone.

Who is it?

Hello, Mrs. Sroyphet?

Neeraaumpan no longer lives here.

The priest said she left several days ago.

Left?

Find out where she went to.

[But nobody knows where she's gone.]

[Are you sure he wasn't lying?]

He's a priest, ma'am.

Ugh!

Just find out where she lives now.

Neeraaumpan.

Someone is here to see you.

Is my mother... smiling?

Are you here to see your mother?

Who is she?

Me?

Uhh, I'm afraid my son
isn't as tall as you are, mister.

My baby is only 10 years old.

Father told us to hide Neeraaumpan
here as soon as Mirin called.

Mirin?

Rin's family has been taking care
of Neeraaumpan over the years.

Mirin has consulted her many times
whether she should let you know.

But every time her mind is clear,

Neeraaumpan insists we
shouldn't tell anyone she's here.

Especially you.

She doesn't want you to be
disappointed that she has Alzheimer's.

What will you do from now on?

I'll take care of my mother.

From now on, I'll take care of her.

Oh, hello.

How are you doing, Miss
Number One Secretary?

What are you even saying?

You're doing all this by yourself?

You know you can have
someone do it for you, right?

It's easy enough, so I can do it.

And you know...

If I can't do everything myself,

how could I deserve the
Number One Secretary title?

There.

Thank you.

Good morning. Mr. Chanon.

Good morning, Miss Greatest Secretary.

We've got a whole day
of meetings, starting early.

The last one is at 4PM.

Most are with the investors who
got interested after your presentation.

They're all here with
an intention to invest.

Except for Miss Big Noi, though.

Did you contact her?

I did.

She refused to talk to anyone
but Mr. Veekit and Mirin.

We'll sort that out later.

Focus on taking care of
everyone who's here for now.

Anytime, Boss.

Hold on, Boss.

Here.

Something to keep your
morale up for the day.

You're the best, my Number One Secretary.

Nothing from Big Noi yet?

No.

I'll get right on it.

I'll leave things in your
hands in the meantime.

I won't be here for a while.

Yes.

Are you going abroad, Grandpa?

No.

I'll be looking for Veekit.

With you, I'm not worried
about anything over here.

Just try to get Big Noi back.

We need her investment for this.

Tell the housekeeper this is the
last time she needs to clean this room.

There's no need to do this again tomorrow.

Pardon?

Yes?

Did you not hear me?

Oh, no.

I heard you.

Mirin.

Hello, Aunt Noi.

How long do you plan to
keep running away from me?

What will you do about
the money I invested?

I won't work with Chanon.

I chose Veekit.

I will only work with him.

Mr. Vee hasn't gone back to work?

He certainly has not.

You don't know anything?

Huh?

I thought you're avoiding me because
you know your boss' been slacking off.

Aunt Noi, I quit.

You quit?

Ugh!

What a headache.

Both Veekit and you are.

I don't care how, but
you need to contact him.

If he doesn't come back soon,

I will certainly withdraw my investment.

Please come in.

Mirin.

Are you here for a job interview?

Mr. Veekit hasn't come back to work?

Every day someone asks after Veekit.

Every day.

Multiple times.

No, he hasn't come back.

As you can see, all the work
has inevitably fallen to my pile.

Is anyone looking for him?

We sent out a team.

Grandpa also went after him.

But you are more than welcomed
to work with me in the meantime.

You don't need to wait
for your boss to come back.

You gave Mr. Veekit those
photos, didn't you, Mr. Chanon?

I know I was wrong.

I know what I did.

But the timing and the way you did it

could easily be mistaken for a ruse

to take Mr. Vee down
with his personal problem.

I'm sick of explaining myself.

So I refuse to talk any
further about this matter.

I don't care what you
or anyone says or thinks.

I'm so damn happy right now.

That's all I want.

Our company is willing to welcome you back.

But if you want to get
stuck on your old boss,

then, that's all up to you.

You can't find her?

What do you mean she just disappeared?

Did the money I spent on you mean nothing?

How could you have failed so badly?

I'm sorry, Mrs. Sroyphet.

Your apology is useless!

Do whatever it takes to find
out where Neeraaumpan is,

and bring her to me.

Yes.

Go!

Are you here to see your mother again?

Yes.

The doctor doesn't want her to go home yet

because they fear it might
cause her more harm than good.

While her memories are fading,

she will be in a state
of cognitive impairment.

All we can do now is wait for her memory

to return before we tell her about you.

If she agrees, you can take her home.

Does it usually last this long?

I've seen longer.

This symptom will keep occurring until...

Until Neeraaumpan doesn't
remember anything at all.

It doesn't matter, I'll
take good care of her.

I'll try my best to make her memories
stay with me as long as they can.

I believe you can do it, Mr. Veekit.

God bless you.

[Is there any way that might help
bring her memory back faster?]

[You can try telling her about the past.]

[Create a familiar scenario for her.]

[Music, films, and food could be helpful.]

[They might incite something in her mind.]

Mr. Vee.

I need you to teach me
how to make hot chocolate.

Right now.

Of course.

I made you something.

Thank you.

You're very kind, mister.

Chanon has openly set
himself up as your rival.

What do you think he needs?

Your grandfather's acceptance.

With Veekit gone, I think this is
the only time you can take over Next.

I want you to do business with me.

Next Innovation, under Chanon,
has started selling its stocks.

Domestic and foreign
investors both agree that

this move will take the company
in an interesting direction.

What matters most right now is your mother.

Neeraaumpan is missing.

Mom.

Mom!
