I'm Not a Cheap Woman

The Rich Man's Game

The more the night, the more crowded club conditions let alone someone who booked a business meeting room on the third floor. Although no one knows who they are because they are only on behalf of the company, but Huber said it was the largest company in the city of X.

"So it's from the construction company sir?" ask Stevani.

"Right, we're definitely going to get a big bonus tonight. It just so happened that they ordered all the best drinks and food in our club. Van, I'm calling you because I want to say you keep working in the VIP room, let the other waitresses serve guests on the 3rd floor. The average VIP guest is looking for you, so I don't want you going up and down to work" Huber said.

"What wind is Mr Huber good like this? He never cared for me how to work." thought Stevani.

"Don't think much of Van, I'm doing this because I know you're going to be with your brother for surgery tomorrow. I just want you to still have the energy for your sister. Well, just think of it as compensation you worked for years here." Huber continued.

"Thank you very much sir." replied Stevani.

"All right, now get on with your work. The guests of the jasmine, rose and lily room were already full and waiting for the delivery of drinks. All orders are on the bar table."

"Ready sir."

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. The jasmine room seemed to be a reunion event, they were seen from the top. You can try to make some extra money there, get to work" Huber said, leaving Stevani.

"Jasmine room, extra money? This is my chance, but will they demean me? I hope I'm just pouring drinks." thought Stevani.

Stevani took a deep breath, he immediately headed for the bar table to see their order.

*****

Zionel and his entourage reached the Golden Dragon club. They also entered the club to Huber's surprise. Huber immediately welcomed their arrival.

"It turns out you booked the master's business space" Huber said.

"Right, we're from the construction company" Alex replied.

"Then please come with me." take Huber with you.

They all followed Huber all the way to the third floor. Zionel nodded his head after looking at the room.

"Lumayan." muttered Zionel.

"We will soon prepare your order sir" Huber said again.

Only Alex responded by nodding his head. Huber immediately walked out of the room and asked several employees to bring their orders.

Zionel and his entourage enjoyed their feast. Many times the maid entered the room, but the figure of the woman who was waiting for was nowhere to be seen. There was a feeling of resentment in Zionel's heart, but the man was smart to cover it up.

Some comfort women have also come, they all accept the woman except Zionel who does not want to touch them at all. There are only 3 women who come from Zionel company, but the three will not join the party until it is finished because they already have their own families.

"Thank you Mr. Zio for solving the branch company problem, I did not expect Mr. Kean would do such a thing" said Suganda, one of his business colleagues.

"Humans sometimes forget to be grateful sir, they never feel satisfied with what is already there" Zionel replied as he downed his drink.

Suganda laughing. "You're right, Mr. Zio, until you come down directly to this town."

Zionel smiled at her smile. "We don't judge others, we're not necessarily clean either."

Hearing that, Suganda stopped his laughter.

"Thank you Mr. Zio for bringing us to this party, this place is also good for meetings." said Doni another Zionel business colleague.

"Then enjoy this party" Zionel said.

The man got up from his seat and raised his glass. "For the success of our company and our new manager, a toast...!!!"

"Return...!!!" answer them simultaneously.

The party went well, but Alex kept watching Zionel's unhappy face. Alex said to go to the restroom on them, but actually Alex wanted to find Stevani's whereabouts.

"Why so busy" Stevani said as she approached the bar table.

"Special guests have arrived, they are already on the third floor. Quite crowded, there are at least ten to fifteen people." replied Angga.

"Who are they brother?"

"You'd be surprised. Last time they passed the bar, two of them were VIP guests who rejected you."

Stevani frowned while thinking.

"Haisssss...it's Van, which you managed to make a VIP guest here. A handsome man who is sharp and arrogant you say." continued Angga.

"Huh.so they. Yes yes I remember. It's worth it he's arrogant, it looks like he's the owner of the company" Stevani said.

"Looks like you were right, because everything was tailing behind the guy. The rich are different. This is a drink for the jasmine room." said Angga while giving a tray that already contains drinks.

"Okay sister." replied Stevani while taking her drink.

Stevani stepped into the jasmine room, surprised that it contained at least six men.

"It's true the reunion apparently" Stevani thought.

Stevani gives her best smile and puts her drink on the table.

"Well, when you smile, you're getting more beautiful, miss." said another man.

"Stay here with us, we will pay you." said another.

"Of course, sir, if you need a waiter to pour a drink" Stevani replied.

"Pouring drinks?"

They all immediately laughed at the same time making Stevani confused.

"What if we play a game? Assen you start first." said the man again.

"Liet Fred, it's still morning for us to have fun." replied Assen.

"Don't wait another Sen, don't waste a beautiful woman." said Jimmy.

"What do they want to do?" stevani thought with a body shaking with fear.

"What's your name, miss?" ask Fredly.

"Stevan..."

"Woah.a pretty name like her face." said Cris.

"Well, I'll start, accompany us to drink, lady, one glass of this drink I appreciate a million" Assen said.

"Ciiiih.you're stingy." sneered Simon. "One glass two million." he continued.

"Woah..how do I offer you, miss, one glass two million five hundred" said Dirsan.

"That's steady, but I'll give you an even more steady offer." Cris said.

"Wait for master, I still don't understand" Stevani said.

"Oh my God, you only have to drink one glass of this whiskey with our offer. You just choose, you want to accept which offer." replied Fredly.

"This one little glass they value millions, is it easy to make money for them" Stevani thought.

"Come on Cris, do your bidding" Fredly continued.

"Well, I'll pay you 5 million one glass but you have to drink on my lap" Cris replied.

They all let go of their laughter.

"That's cool Cris" Assen said.

"I'm sorry, sir, I can't drink" Stevani replied.

They all looked at him and let go of his laughter.

"It seems less high offer we're friends of friends." said Fredly. "Me and Jimmy are going to make a last offer, but wait, miss, I'm going to go to the toilet" she said as she moved from her seat.

On the other hand, Alex continues to search for Stevani's whereabouts. Some of the maids he met showed jasmine's room. Alex went straight to the room. While in the hallway, he met a man who was a friend of Zionel. Alex's memory is very sharp even though he only sees their biodata on the laptop.

"Mr Fredly...!" greet Alex.

Fredly stopped his steps and looked at Alex. "You who?"

"I'm Alex's assistant to Zionel Cruise."

"Ah...so you're the one who contacted us for the reunion? It's hard to see Zio, because you're here, call the guy. Tell me we're all gathered in the jasmine room."

"We're all?" ask Alex.

Fredly nodded. "It just so happened that we had a reunion here, all of them friends of Zionel Cruise's. Even though we haven't set a meeting time yet, but since it's a coincidence, there's no harm in us having a reunion together."

"Alright." replied Alex as he left her.

Alex undoes his intention to find Stevani, but returns to the third floor to deliver Fredly's message to Zionel. Alex approached Zionel and whispered.

"Damn it. I still don't want to meet them. But be with them first Lex, I'll meet them for a minute" Zionel replied.

Alex nodded while Zionel bailed out for a while to meet his friend.

*****

What happens when Zionel and Stevani meet again?

Can Stevani get out of the drinking problem or Stevani just want to do it for money?

Tomorrow we continue...
