I'm Not a Cheap Woman

Again Zionel thought about it

"I'm just kidding, it's like you want to eat me Van" Juana said, patting her on the shoulder. "May there be another angel who will help you, because even if you drink a bottle every night in these 5 days, you can't possibly earn that much money. Money tips drink only worth hundreds of thousands only. Unless the sultan arrives here drinking. It's possible that a glass of drink would be worth tens or even hundreds of millions" he said, leaving Stevani.

Stevani sighed, right said Juana, he could not possibly get that much money for 5 days. He was too confident to agree with Dani's challenge. It was the same as giving himself up to the man. Stevani stepped foot with a lunglai, he had absolutely no passion for work.

Angga watched Stevani as the woman passed the bar.

"Van...!" call Angga.

"Son Angga."

"I'm sorry about..."

"It's okay, brother, I've forgotten it." Stevani cut.

"Ehm... Then what about Zaline?"

"The day after tomorrow he will perform surgery."

"You got the money? How's..." Angga stopped his words, he did not want to offend Stevani again.

Stevani smiles. "Well, let me sell myself."

Angga was surprised, he immediately circled the bar and got out of there. Without hesitation he pulled Stevani's hand towards a more deserted place.

"What do you mean?" tanya Angga held both of Stevani's arms.

"Sister Angga, you can make Mr. Huber angry for leaving the bar." replied Stevani.

"Don't quibble Van, I ask seriously. What did you mean?"

"I. I. I borrowed it from Dani's mas."

"What??? How did you get involved with that guy? Don't you know what that guy looks like, my God. You refused my help, you took the man's money" Angga said angrily.

"How can Angga get that much money, brother intends to sell a car, a house?" stevani.

Angga releases Stevani's arm. "I can do anything for you, I'll protect you Van because..."

"Sir Angga, I'll return Dani's gold. So you don't have to worry." Stevani cut. "So don't come back to the bar, you'll get angry, I'll check the VIP room" he continued, leaving Angga.

Angga let out a long sigh, he looked at Stevani who was leaving him.

"Why is it so hard for me to express my feelings for you Van. I wanted to protect you because I love you so much. That should be what I said, but my tongue turned muddy when faced with you." thought Angga while returning to the bar.

Zionel got a photo from his mother. He opened it and looked at the photo of the woman. That's Valera who wants to be betrothed by her mother. The woman was indeed very beautiful, but there was no sigh in Zionel's heart.

Zionel closed his eyes, and he opened his eyes again. He cursed because only a few seconds he closed his eyes, precisely the nightclub woman was again seen there.

"Oh my God, am I crazy?" he muttered and saw Valera's photo again.

But the photo could not replace the face of Stevani who kept coming to his mind.

"What's wrong with me, why do I always think about the woman I don't know?" zionel said as he got out of his bed.

He took his laptop and turned his mind to playing online games. For a long time he had never played like that, but he was forced to do so because he did not want to be constantly disturbed by the face of foreign women who worked at the nightclub.

For hours he played, but his heart was increasingly unsettled. He dialed the room service number and asked for his favorite drink to be delivered to his room immediately. Fortunately, the hotel he lived in provided wine.

While waiting for his drink to come, he resumed playing online games. Zionel let out a long sigh, he did not want to drink alone. He immediately took his phone and called Alex.

"To my room now." Zionel ordered and then hung up his phone without waiting for Alex to speak.

A few minutes later, the door to his room was knocked. Zionel opens the door and finds Alex and the hotel waiter with the drinks coming along. Zionel smirked as he stared at Alex's sour-looking face. He let them in.

"Why are you drinking Mr Zio?" ask Alex.

"I can't sleep anymore" replied Zionel.

"Why can't I get drunk, I own the company. Thank you." he said to the hotel waiter while giving tips money to him.

"Thank you, sir." replied the servant, then walked out of Zionel's room.

Zionel took the glass. "My company drinks Lex."

"You can get sick Mr. Zio if you get drunk tonight, because tomorrow night you will definitely drink. Remember your stomach is starting to get irritated."

"You're as chatty as a doctor. This is the only thing that can make me sleep, Lex. I don't know why since coming to this town, I've had a hard time sleeping."

"All the company's business is done, what are you thinking Mr Zio?" ask Alex to be curious.

Zionel downed his drink, and set his foot toward the window of his room. He looked at the beautiful night view of X.

"What's Miss Haena again? You don't usually think about Miss every night." Alex said.

"I've never forgotten my sister Lex" Zionel replied. "But this time I completely forgot my sister, I was distracted by the woman at the nightclub" Zionel thought.

"I understand your feelings Mr. Zio. You also have to think about your own body. I'm with the detectives still looking for Miss Haena, but we're in a dead end. Miss is like lost in the earth."

Zionel's gaze arrived sharp, his anger almost exploded hearing Alex's words. But he regained control of himself because what Alex said was true too. Ever since Haena disappeared, they really had lost track of the little girl. Especially after the last 5 years, as if the figure of Haena Cruise really does not exist at all.

"I'm sorry if my words make you angry sir, but we've been trying to find it all the way to D, but really can't get any information" Alex said.

Zionel drank his drink. "Maybe my sister was taken abroad? Could Haena be sold to someone? Oh, my God, I can't imagine if that's really what happened to Lex."

"I can't give Zio any opinion."

Zionel sighed. "Lex...if someone keeps passing through your mind, what does that mean?"

Alex was surprised and frowned as Zionel suddenly talked about something else with him.

"Who are you talking about?" ask Alex.

"I'm just asking, can't you just answer" Zionel said.

"Well I'll answer, but I need to know first that she's a woman or a man" Alex said.

"Forget over my question, I'm just talking."

Alex laughs. "Don't tell me you're still thinking about the beautiful Miss Stevani who worked at the nightclub." she said.

Zionel swerved and cursed. "Where might I think about it, I don't even know him, you're far-fetched."

Alex laughed even more, he had been following Zionel for years, he knew the nature of the man. And after hearing Zionel's answer, Alex is increasingly convinced that's what's bothering his superiors.

"It looks like you're in love at first sight Mr. Zio" Alex said.

"Don't just talk if you don't want to lose your job, Lex. I don't think about anyone, I just ask." Zionel replied as he chugged his drink again.

"You must stop drinking Mr. Zio, if anything happens to you, then I will be killed by the President."

"I just finished one glass of Lex."

Zionel refilled his glass with his drink. Alex can only shake his head, even though there is no urgent work in the company because everything is resolved, but he must keep his boss.

Alex took a bottle of wine on that table. "Just two glasses for tonight, Mr. Zio. You can continue tomorrow night."

"Ckckck."

"This is for your health, Zio."
