    Summary

    The last candidate just left and Big is finishing up his score. He has an intricate system based on experience, personality and potential for growth. Next to him, Khun Kinn looks bored. He’d doodling on the copy of the scoring sheet Big made for him.

    There’s a loud knock on the door (Big instinctively disapproves) and then the next candidate walks in. Without being asked to. Big mentally subtracts two points.

    “Uh, hi”, the guy says, “someone told me to come here.”

    “Thank you for your time-“, Big starts but before he can finish, Khun Kinn stirs next to him. His boss hasn’t been paying attention all morning, but he’s sitting up straight now.

    ___

    Ever since Khun Kinn insisted on vanity hire Porsche as his personal assistant, Big’s life has gotten even more stressful than it was before. Between picking up his useless coworker’s slag, appeasing his irascible boss and staying on top of his daily tasks as head assistant to the country’s hottest CEO (not that Big is looking or nurturing a hopeless crush), Big is stretched thin and grumpy.

    The only good thing about all the late hours is that Vice President Chan has started to offer him rides home in his nice, warm car.

    Summary

    The buyers who are coming to the auction today are from all over the world, according to the loud, pompous host. The host tells Porsche that he should be grateful for this opportunity.

    They put jewelry on him. They cover a bruise with makeup. They tell him where to go and where to stand, and then he waits.

    He doesn’t resist, doesn’t fight it. He never fights unless he’s told to.

    ~~~

    Kinn and Porsche first encounter each other at a very exclusive, very high-end auction. They end up having to flee the scene.
