The duo had interviewed about 10 candidates and all were rejected thanks to Gemini's perfectionist ass.

As Fourth and Gemini sat across from the next candidate, the atmosphere was charged with nervous energy.

The candidate, a young designer named Alex, fidgeted with the portfolio in their hands, stealing glances at Gemini's stern expression.

Your color palette seems rather limited here. Are you suggesting you lack creativity in this aspect ? Gemini, with their sharp eyes scanning through Alex's work, began the interrogation.

N-no, I just thought that... Alex's hands trembled slightly as they stuttered.

Your thought process should be crystal clear, especially when presenting your designs. Ambiguity reflects poorly on your abilities. Gemini interrupted.

Fourth, sensing the tension building, interjected gently , Perhaps we could explore why Alex chose this particular palette. There might be an interesting story or concept behind it.

Gemini glanced at Fourth, their expression unreadable. Very well , they acquiesced, turning back to Alex. Explain your rationale behind these color choices.

Alex, visibly relieved to have a chance to elaborate, began to speak more confidently about their inspiration and the emotional resonance of the colors.

During a brief pause, Fourth caught Gemini's eye and signaled for a break.

Once out of earshot, Fourth spoke softly but firmly, Mr. Norawit , your approach is too harsh. You're intimidating the candidates instead of drawing out their potential.

This was the first time , someone had called out to Gemini on his harsh criticism.

I only aim for excellence. But I see your point. Perhaps I should adjust my tone. Gemini bristled slightly but nodded, recognizing Fourth's point.

Gemini was surprised with himself , at how quickly and easily he took in Fourth's advise. He had never done that before.

Returning to the interview room, Fourth addressed Alex warmly , Thank you for sharing your insights, Alex. Your passion for design is evident, and we appreciate your perspective.

Your attention to detail is commendable. We will be in touch. Gemini added with a hint of warmth.

As Alex left the room, Fourth turned to Gemini, a small smile playing on his lips. See? A little encouragement goes a long way.

Gemini's gaze softened, a rare glimmer of warmth appearing in their eyes. I suppose you're right, Fourth. Let's approach the next interview with a more balanced perspective.

And from then onwards , through out the interview , Gemini tried to control his tongue and interview the candidates in a more friendly way.

The interview went on for nearly 4 hours , but at the end they were successful in selecting the deserving candidates.

Now the candidates are selected , what's the next step ? Mark asked.

Now they will be trained for about 2 months and then they will be promoted to permanent employees. Fourth answered.

It was a fruitful day Mr. Nattawat , we'll be taking our leave now. Gemini informed about his departure and both the males shook hands.

So how was it working with the no.1 CEO ? Winny asked the omega after arriving at his cabin.

He is a little bit of a jerk honestly , always carrying his pride on his nose , but then again all the pure-bloods are like that. Fourth answered , while drinking water.

You sound as if you have met him before. Winny preyed further.

Yeah , remember when I went to washroom during the Thailand Business Association event. And then the omega narrated the whole episode to his secretary.

Damn , Phi Pond at the bad entry timing , or else we all would have witnessed an omega fighting against a pure-blood alpha. Winny teased , while the dominant omega playfully rolled his eyes.

Alright enough with the chit-chat , now assign a staff development head for the newbies and start their training as soon as possible. Mr. Norawit said that they will be sending one from their company too. Fourth ordered and the other omega nodded his head before taking his leave.

On the other side , when the 23 year old entered his office cabin , he was welcomed by the female omega , sitting on the couch and going through their office magazine.

Where were you Phi ? Prim questioned , standing up to greet the pure-blood.

I was out for some work , what brings you here ? Gemini answered in a nonchalant tone.

I am here to take you on shopping ! Prim revealed the motive behind her presence while clasping her hand together , excited at the thought of them going out in the public together.

Shopping ? For what ? Gemini inquired , confused.

Its mom's birthday after 2 days and I wanted to gift her something with you . She likes you a lot , she will be happy. Prim replied.

Gemini sighed deeply. This is for Mrs. Tangkabodee , Gemini , calm down. Gemini gave himself a small pep talk before agreeing.

Within the next 30 minutes , Gemini found himself walking beside the female omega in the mall , hopping from shop to shop to look for the perfect gift for the female's mother.

Being the least interested in the current situation , Gemini looked around the mall , seeing various branded outlets and the models promoting them , when his eyes fell of the outlet of Amethyst Fashion.

What really caught his eye was the model promoting it.

Didn't know you were a model too. The pure-blood mumbled to himself , while looking at the brand's CEO promoting his brand as a model too.

Hearing him mumble , Prim looked up to him and then followed his gaze.

Isn't that company your competitor ? Prim questioned.

They were , we are collaborating soon. The male answered , his eyes still on the poster.

Prim saw it , the different yet a dull spark in Gemini's eyes , but decided to ignore it , too immersed in her fantasies of Gemini liking her back , to even give a damn about reality.

That shop looks good , its check it out. Prim pointed to a certain shop and dragged the taller male with him.

It Burberry brand's outlet.

After checking nearly 15 pieces , both Gemini and Prim agreed on one piece.

It was beige in colour with brown beige details and a pocket in front with the brand's name written on it in black colour.

(Ref)

After customizing it with her mother's name , the bag was ready to be gifted.

Thanks for coming with me , I hope you attend her birthday celebration too. Prim expressed , Gemini simply nodded , because he knew himself he wouldn't be attending it.

After paying for the bag , they both returned home and thanks heaven Mark had already called Prim's driver for her.
