Kla looked out on to the lovely view from the ceiling to floor window. He had an empty glass in his right hand that once was filled with Malisin Tea, a tea that was said to detox the system. He only would drink it now and then, depending on the night he had before.
Placing the glass down on the night stand. The door opened and Art walked up to him.
“Morning Sir, How did you sleep?”
“Well.”
“And the food I ordered for you? Was it to your liking?”
“It was simple but good.”
“Any changes to today’s plans?”
“No.”
Art pulled out his phone then began tapping at the screen. Their relationship was always like this sometimes it depends on Kla’s mood. He would only speak if he had something important to say.
“Art.”
“Yes?”
“What’s his name?”
Art stopped typing. Kla had never taken initiative to ask for a name. “Excuse me?”
Kla turned to look at Art. “I asked for his name. What is it?”
Art blinked a few times. “Uhm, Techno. His name is Techno.”
Kla turned to the window. Slowly a smile grow as he whispered…”Techno…Suits him.”
Art didn’t know how to react to Kla’s sudden interest for an ’employee’. He shook his head a bit hoping that this was a one time thing.
“About the schedule…”
Kla turned around and the smile that had been on his face instantly disappeared and in its place sat his usual indifferent expression.
“Am leaving now. Kris packed my suitcase last night…”
Art made notes as kla spoke. “Oh and pack a bag for Techno. I want him to come along with me.”
Art fell into shock once again. “You want him to go with you on a business trip? To China?”
He had never taken any of the other boys.
Kla nodded his head. His face still had the same expression on so Art didn’t know what he was feeling.
“Am not sure we can get a bag for him in time Sir. Your flight leaves in an hour.”
Kla turned around to face Art. He had his hand on his dark blue leather suitcase, ready to go.
“You know what? That’s fine. Better he doesn’t pack anything. What ever he needs he’ll get in China.”
Kla began walking towards the door. Once he opened it he turned to instruct Art one last time before he left. “Go get him. If his not ‘ready’. Tell him that he will have a new room within hours with what ever he wants so get him in the car…”
Then he was gone. Art stood in the room alone trying to adjust to what just happened.

Techno spread his arms and legs under the sheets. It was the greatest bed he had ever slept in. It felt like he was sleeping on clouds.
As he was about to bring his arms and legs back to his side, he heard the door open. Opening his eyes in shock, he soon learned that it was Art who woke him up.
Art walked up to the window then pulled the curtains open. Allowing for sunlight to enter the room and slightly blind Techno.
Techno quickly brought his hands up to his face, trying to shelter his eyes from the sun.
“Am sorry to disturb you Techno but you have to get up.”
Techno sat up in bed, looking at Art with a frown. “Why so early?”
“You have a flight waiting for you.”
“A flight? To where?”
“China…”
Techno widened his eyes. He had never left the country, not even once.
Art made signs to show Techno to hurry up.
“But I haven’t packed anything and I just woke up.”
“That doesn’t matter. You’ll ready yourself when you get to a hotel in China and anything you need will be provided for you.”
Techno hurried out of bed. “Okay… But why am I going to China?”
“To keep kengkla company of course.”
Once Techno was fully out of bed and had his fluffy slippers on, Art made action to pull him out of the room and begin taking him to the car.
“I guess he really liked your performance last night.”
Techno tried hiding his embarrassed face. He had hoped that maybe, just maybe they had forgotten about it.
“Is that why he wants me in China? With him?”
Art nodded. “Need I remind you what your job is?”
Techno shook his head no.
“Good. It would be a shame if you were put in a situation that you didn’t know how to co-ordinate.”
“Will you be with us?”
Art shook his head. “No… He doesn’t let me come on business trips. It will just be you and him.”
As they exited the elevator on the ground floor, a similar car that had picked him up from the restaurant sat in front of them. As Art and Techno approached it, two figures could be seen inside.
“One of my guys will be your driver for the time being. His name is Kris, if you need anything and your afraid to ask Kengkla, you can ask him.”
Techno nodded before entering the car. He found that on the far left sat the same man who had his prowling eyes on him in his most vulnerable moment but then again, this is what he signed up for.
They didn’t speak to each other. Kla had his eyes on a tablet, looking over a page covered in words and Techno, in that enclosed area could only look out the window.
The whole car ride to the airport was like this. When they arrived, Kla too the lead having Techno walk behind him and Kris followed behind Techno.
They didn’t wait in any lines or have to check for identity. They just went right up to the plane. Techno tried to keep up with Kla.
After a short walk, the three entered the plane. Kla swiftly walked over to one of the few seats in the plane. He sat down then immediately returned to his table. It wasn’t long till he noticed a figure hovering over to the side.
When he looked up he saw Techno awkwardly holding his hands. Kla raised his eyebrows. He realized that this man was woken up roughly and wasn’t given the chance to fresh in up.
Kla cleared his throat, bringing Techno’s attention to him. “There’s a bathroom down the corridor, second door to the left. If you want to fresh in up.”
Techno only nodded then followed the directions to the bathroom.
