PART 5

Jay followed her back to the table, "what do you want me to do? Give you a raise.."

"That would be nice, but no." replied Kim... "I mean, i've plan to go home already too late..."

"hey you, don't make it so hard."

kim stopped and turned to look at him, "me, making it hard... who was the bastard that laid us off for no reason...just because he is new and wants some new workers instead of keeping the old one? Who was the bastard that think he was all this and that???will have fun doing your job, Jay.. you are out of luck..."

"you are trying to get me mad huh?"

"you are getting yourself mad, not me...I don't have anything to do with you getting mad. Don't blame someone for your own emotional problem." replied Kim and walked away from him.

He walked back to the table, "That was long?" said his mother

he nodded and sat down, "mom can i ask you a favor?"

"depend, what is it?"

"about kim?"

"What about her?"

"She...will I really need the blueprint and i know that she knows it, but is trying to get back on me for laying them off, when I shouldn't have. And she's being hardcore."

"your point it?"

"I need her to come back and work for me...can you do something about it?"

his mother laughed, "not that i know of. it's their free will to stay or quit. you have to do it yourself. even if i ask she's not going to come back. i know how she is. she likes to speak her thought out to the people who she thinks isn't right...people like you, son. I mean you shouldn't have. I think that she's smart and doing the right thing by making you delete every file that have anything to do with the blue prints and the old or should i said the ex-employees."

"mom.." he whid.." you are not helping me at all, but that big mouth girl."

she touches Jay's hand, "Jay, hun, what I'm trying to say um...it was your choice. you choose to laid her off, it's your fault and you would do something about it yourself instead of asking me for help, i can't do anything much about it. all i could do is talk to her, but i know that it wouldn't help that much because she talks a lot too and she wants to do the right thing, beside working for you. what happen if i die. who are you going to ask to help you talk to another to help you? So...do..."

"That...don't worry about it now. what i'm worry is the due date of the project." he interrupted his mom

"like i was saying...do whatever you are doing...tell them you guys lost the blue print and stop bothering her, because i don't want to see my son dead."

"mom is that a diss or what??"

"Son, what do you mean diss. I'm just telling the truth. The only thing you can do now is ask for them to wait until you figure out what's wrong and what happen. I'm sure they'll understand."

He sighed, "mom you are not really helping your son right now."

"I know...but you have to do it yourself...don't always count on me to do it for you...I'm not the expert here." replied his mom. "but my advice for you son, is to talk with her and tell her you are really sorry about what happen and you really need her to come back...I know she's an understanding person...she'll understand you and if you talk to her nicely, you might as will get her back to work for you..."

Jay looked at his mom, "Are you sure its going to work?"

"I doubted."

"Alright, I'll try, but if it doesn't work, screw that woman."

His mother just shook her head, "Son...if that's how you are, you might not be so lucky..."

"Thanks.."

Wan and Don were looking at her, when she got back from the bathroom, she seen kind of upset about something."Whats wrong?"

Kim looked up from the food, "nothing..." she lied. "I hate your boss, Don...I hope he died soon. and tell him to go died somewhere else and not to bother me so much or else..." and stopped there.

"or else what???" asked Wan.

"I don't know...I'll make his life a living hell."

"is that a threat?"

"oh yeah..." replied Kim "another thing too, whatever you do, don't tell your gay boss where I lived."

"Why?" asked Don.

"because I said so...I don't like people stalking me too much."

"the blue print?"

Don and kim nodded... "oh yeah..." replied Kim "oh, will he deserves it good."

Don looked at his watch, "As it seen, I should better be going now...That means, I'll see you guys later."

"Alright."

"but remember what i told you." said Kim.

"We'll see about that." and left.

Jay walked into Don's office the next day,

Don looked up at him, "Can I help you?"

"yes, by telling me where your bad mouth friend is?"

"Kim, will she left to go home this morning around 8 already." lied Don.

"WHAT???"

Don nodded, "yeah. sorry"

"you lied." said Jay

Don laughed, "why would I lied?"

"Because she's your friend, and you want to help her." answered Jay, "please, I really need your help and that's all. I don't need you to do anything else. I'll be responsible for everything."

"Jay, you are kinda of late, I'm not kidding..She really left like this morning around 8."

Jay sighed and walked out, all hopeless.

Kim walked out of a company, holding onto her interview papers. "I hope they hire me...if they don't screw them. They are my last hope, before I go back home." she said to herself, as she walked around the corner. She bumped into Kik, as she was with another guy of hers.

"Watch it lady, can't you see?" yell Kik

"Sorry." replied Kim, "I didn't mean."

"Don't you have eyes?"

"hey, didn't you hear me say 'sorry' You got to be deaf or something." replied Kim

"Kik, I will see you again." interrupted the guy as he was about to get into the car.

she look at Kim, "I'm not finish with you." and turn to look at her guy friend."Alright...Bye, honey, I love you."

"I love you too." as the guy blow kik a kiss.

Kim standing there laughing..."I love you too." kim immated after them.

Kik turned to look at Kim, "you bitch...what are you saying?"

"nothing." lied Kim

"whatever. You low class biach."

"As if you are so high that all guys wanted you to be their girls. As if you are so famous that i have to get your autograph to sell it for money." Said Kim... "but to me...you look like some rubbish crap and more like a slut than anything else. Something that can really make me puke."

"yo.....you.....biach.." and was about to slap her...

Jay walked towards them and yelled "KIK....KIK..."

Kik turned around, "JAY..." she put her hand down and turn her back to Kim, "I'm not finish with you yet."

Kim gave her a look and peek at her guy friend Jay, only to see that bastard Jay... she got nervous and looked around her, then decide to leave Kik standing there waiting for Jay.

Jay walked toward her, "What happen?"

Kik hugged him, "its..." turn to look back at Kim but she's gone. "Its that girl that was standing here with me... She was cause me trouble. I told her that I was waiting for you, but she careless about it."

"oh...What a person she is. Come on, lets go now. My mom is waiting..."

"ok..."

As they walked out, Kim walk back to the scene, "My mom is waiting..." she immatied jay back... "What a dork.."

As Jay and Kik walked into the living room, "Hi dear." greeted Ms. Yatneena.

"Hi mother." both Jay and Kik replied back,

"How are you doing, Mother." asked Kik

"Wonderful...what about you two???"

"We are doing fine..." replied Kik

"Thats good to hear from both of you." answered Ms. Yatneena... "Am I going to hear a wedding bell soon?"

Jay smiled, while Kik was blushing. "I don't know." replied Ms Yatneea.

"I hoping.. to hear the bell soon."...

While they are eating, Ms. Yatneena looked at how Kik acted and the way she dressed. Before my son even think of marrying her, I have to know everything about her or else, I'm not going to allow it to happen. I'm pretty sure that my son will not married a person like her. A person who I don't even know all about. She thought to herself. Kim is way better than that girl. "Jay, so...whats going on?"

"What do you mean?"

"Kim situation?"

"That bad mouth girl left already, mom."

"oh." was all Ms Yatneena replied. But in her mind, she knew a person who know the truth...and she's going to go ask that person for Kim's address. She love Kim as a daughter, hoping that her son will too. But as it seem, they had a bad start and now that Kim is gone, the only person that will help her is Wan.

Ms Yatneena walked toward the house. "What a big house this house is?"

"Can i help you?"

"yes, you may, I was wondering is Wan home?"

"oh yes, come on in." replied the maid.

"Thanks." and follow the maid in.

Wan walked into the living room, "Ms Yatneena, How glad am I to see you here. Can i help you."

"yes you can." replied Ms. Yatneena.

"Really..." as she sat down across from her,

"Wan, i wonder why you live in such a decend house and want to work for other people."

Wan laughed, "and your answer is, I want to explore everything, before deciding to help my parents."

Ms. Yatneena laughed with her, "Oh yeah...That is so true...So how have you been?"

"The same. What about you?"

"Fine...But...I need your help."

"What is it That you want me to help you?"

"Its my son, Jay. Will I want you to help me and tell me where I can find Kim."

"Why???Ms. Yatneena, can i say something?"

"yeah, sure, go ahead."

"Well, if you want Kim to go back and work for your son...Let me tell you this, don't waste your time to discuss it with her, she's going to refuse it again and again. She wants to get even with your son that's why she hid the blueprint. She never have the intention to recycle it on purpose. Just want to get even with your son." Wan finished.

"To be honestly with you, I don't care what she do to the blueprint. I want her and my son to at least learned to love each other."

"and your point is?" as Wan started to get confused.

"Wan, my point is, I want my son to marry Kim... In the beginning, I liked Kim and want her as a daughter-in-law. That's why when my son came back from studying, I ask him to go and watch the business. I want him to learn how to likes and loves Kim. I know how screw her family is. I don't want her to go back to the farm. I want her to stay her in the city and I want her to have a good life. Kim is all mother's wish to have as a daughter-in-law. Thats my opinion. and what I want you to do is..help tell me where Kim is."

"WOW!!!!!" Wan answered, "I never knew that you feel that way about Kim. I know how screw up her family is, that's why I try to tell my father that he should hires her, but he said that our business it still going well so she'll have to wait. But doesn't your son have a girlfriend already?"

"yeah...But I don't like her. and I want kim to do me a favor."

Wan leaned over, "Mind telling me. I can kind of help?"

Ms. yatneena leaned toward the middle, "Mind keeping it a secret?"

"Oh sure. Even if we are really close, I wouldn't tell her."

"Thanks...I want her to spy on Kik, Jay's girlfriend. I heard she's a pretty good spy too right?"

"That, I'm not sure...Talk with her."

"And her address is?"

"the same... she didn't go back home yet. Its a lied."

"thanks"

"no problem... Have fun"

"I will, thanks again, Wan."

"No problem, glad I can help you with things."

Kim sighed, as she looked out toward the city. It had an afternoon. She had enough already, the company decided not to hired her. The only thing left for her now it to head back home. To the farm, to the wicked witch of the west. To be a slave again and again. she had have enough, now she was really going back. She had lost all hopes. She opened the screen door and went back inside, to go pack her stuff, when the door bell ring.

She went and open it, to her surprised, it was Ms. Yatneena, "Hello, can I help you?" She asked, "um...would you like to come in?"

"yeah, thanks."

Kim smiled, "please go take a sit, I'll be back." and walked to the kitchen to get two cups of water. and went to sit with her.

"Thanks, Kim. I thought that you left already, but I have to see it for myself to believe it."

"oh.." replied Kim, "I'm packing my stuff to leave."

"couldn't find a job?"

Kim looked at her glass of water, "Yeah..." she looked up, "I tried so hard, but couldn't. I'm sorry, but I can't work for your son. Even when I know that I got my job back, I still can't."

"I'll understand, but I got a job for you."

Kim leaned forward, "What kind, not with your son right?"

"not with him...but involves him."

Kim backed away, "I'm not sure."

"If you couldn't its ok. I can find someone else to do it for me." replied Ms. Yatneena, "But I really want you to do it for me."

Kim thought to herself, she's really counting on me. should i take it. she's the one who support me throughtout my time in the city, if i don't, i'm guilty for it... "Ms. Yatneena, on the second thought, Sure. what is it?"

"Thank-you Kim." replied Ms Yatneena. "I know you can do this, that's why I ask you. If I don't trust in you, I wouldn't ask."

"Thank-you for trusting in me, Ms. Yatneena. What do you want me to do?"

Ms. Yatneena lean toward her, "Back in the farm, you use to spy on your neighbor and your stepsibling and your stepmother right?"

"When I was young." answered Kim, "how...how..did you know?"

Ms. Yatneena laugh, "I have my way of knowing about you,"

"As it seem, my life is being invaded." joke Kim "Am I right?"

"you can say that Kim. What I want you to do, is spy on Kik, Jay's girlfriend. Do you know who she is?"

"Kik...I heard that name before. Somewhere." Kim told her.

Ms. Yatneena was surprised, "Can you try to remember?"

Kim, looked at her, "I remember, from one of my interview. She was with a guy and I bumped into her, then we argued, until Jay came to pick her up to meet you."

"Really."

Kim nodded, "yeah. Why do you want me to spy on her?"

"Well, I want to know what kind of girl she is." Ms. Yatneena answered her, "and if she's worth being my daughter-in-law. Can you do that for me?"

"I can't say yes, but I could said I could."

"I'll pay you 35000bahts a month. Is it ok?"

Kim just nodded, "Its fine."

"thanks...I'll be coming over a lot of time."

"my apartment will always welcome you, Ms. Yatneena."

"Thanks." she replied and open her purse, "Here is 2500baht for you to get yourself ready and everything."

"you don't have to, I mean. I don't need it." replied Kim

"Just take it, Kim. Thanks so much."

"I..."

Ms. Yatneena put it in Kim's hand, "If you don't take it, means, you don't want to help me."

Kim looked at her, "I don't know what to say."

"say nothing. Just take the money."

"Thank you so much." as Kim tried not to show any emotion.

"You can start soon." She looked at her watch, "Look like I have to go now. Thanks Kim."

Kim followed her to the door, "Thanks."

"Thanks for nothing"

As Kim close the door, she was leaning against it, "Thanks, Ms. Yatneena."

The mission starts early in the morning around 5:30 for Kim. She had to follow Jay everywhere and once she spotted Kik, she was going to be off. She had everything ready for her mission. Films, carmera and everything a spy would need. Knowing that it is somewhat danger and somewhat not, she had ask to borrow some of Wan's money to buy herself a cell phone, in case she needed to called for help. She didn't really tell Wan or Don what she's doing, even though she didn't know that Wan already know what she's doing.

Jay kept coming to Don and asked him about Kim, but he doesn't seen to tell him where she is. Until one day, "Are you sure, you don't know where your bad mouth friend is?"

Don look at him, "Do I look like I lied?"

"I don't know."

"To tell you the truth, I have no clue where she is right now. I can't even reach her."

"What do you mean?"

"Jay, what I'm trying to said it that, I don't know what happen to her. no phone call or no words from her."

Jay look at him, "you lied, you don't want her to work for me." He look angerly.

Don stand up, "Why would I lied."

"Because you are her friend."

"so what does that have to do with me not telling the truth."

"Whatever, Don." and storm out of his office.

"Don..." called the lady at the main desk.

"yeah?" answered Don

"A friend is here to see you."

"Tell her to come up here."

"ok.."

Kim knock on his door.

Don look up, "Kim...What the heck are you doing here?"

Kim walk in and sat on the chair across from him, "can't I visit?"

"yeah, but did you know that you are causing me $h!t."

"With that bastard right?"

"correct,"answered Don, "Why can't you just come back to work?"

Kim laugh, "Only if he is dead."

"come on, I mean, every single day, he would come in here and bug me to tell him, where you are."

Kim lean back on the chair, "Guess he is stupid and don't understand the words coming out of your mouth that I left."

Kim answered him, "I mean, if he haven't laid me off, and if isn't being a dork, I might, but after all, there is no way i'm going to work for that bastard again, unless, he's dead and his mother come back."

"That makes you an hard core person."

"I guess." replied Kim.

"That means, I have to be careful or I'm in deep touble too right?"

"Actually, not really, I mean...if you we don't know each other, that will be another story alright.."

"But...aren't you going home?"

"I was...I got offer a job. So, I'm doing that job now."

"I see."

"yeap. Thats the reason why I stay. if not, I would be home right now, working in the damn garden."

Don laugh, "so aren't you scared of my boss?"

"For what?"

"i don't know."

Kim put her arm in front of her, "In case you want to know, your boss is out with his girlfriend."

"Really" answered Don.

"oh, yeah." replied Kim. Then got up, "Will, Don, I'm here to tell you that I'm still in the city and still in my old place, instead of calling you. And I got to go now."

"Alright. Later." said Don

Kim smile and continued to the door,

"Kim."

Kim turn around, "yeah?"

"Be careful alright."

Kim nodded with a smile and walk out.

Kim stop at the elevator, waiting for the door to open. She look at her watch, hoping not to miss Kik. Even though she knew where Kik was heading. She sigh, as she heard the elevator stop and about to open. Without looking, she walk in and bump into someone. She was about to said sorry, when she look and saw Jay. Jay saw her and was suprised too. She quietly backing up, but the door was close. She was stuck in the elevator with Jay. No one but Jay. Her ex-boss. She push on the button for the next floor.

Jay was looking at her, "hum...Thought that you left the city?"

Kim didn't answered him. She just stand there, don't want to look at him or said anything to him.

"So...why are you here?" asked Jay

Kim look at the ground, not wanting to look up or look at him.

Jay walk toward her, and lift her chin up with his hand, "Answered me?"

Kim push his hand away, "Why would you care? It doesn't matter what the h3ll I do."

Jay press the stop button.

Kim look at him, "what the f**k are you doing??"

"Doesn't matter like you said."

Kim give him an evil look, and try to press the button for it to continued, but Jay stopped her. "hey."

"Hey what??" asked Jay.

"I don't have time. I have to work."

"Same here."

Kim sigh and look at him, "what the h3ll do you want from me?"

"Same thing."

"Dream on, Jay. I don't f**ken care what you are saying. I won't come back to work for you. My job is way better than working here for a boss who think of nothing, but yourself."

Jay grab her waist at her remake, "What are you saying?"

"Didn't I tell you that I have a job already???" as she try to pull free of her waist

But Jay just hold it tighter. "So...I don't care about your job. What I care is the blueprint for that project."

With the other hand free, Kim try to pull her waist free.
