I'm Not a Cheap Woman

Forced For Money

Fredly returned to his room, he looked at Stevani, who was pouring his friend's drink.

"So has anyone been chosen?" ask Fredly as he approaches them.

"You're from the toilet or Fred's pretty woman's cocktail?" ask Jimmy.

"You guess who I met on the outside" Fredly said.

Everyone looked at him questioningly while sipping their drinks.

"I met Zionel Cruise's right-hand man."

"That means Zio is at this club?" ask Cris.

"Of course, I've asked the man to tell Zio to come here."

"You're dreaming Fred. A rich and famous businessman who might come to us" Assen said.

"Ck, after all, he's still our friend." replied Fredly.

"Well, if he also thinks we're friends, his assistant called us to a reunion, but he still hasn't set a time. He really is busy or does not want to meet with us." said Simon.

"I think Zio is arrogant, he does not want to be friends with us anymore" said Dirsan.

"Haisssss forget it, we continue our game while waiting for his arrival" Fredly said.

"Since then, this beautiful lady has refused to drink Fred." said Jimmy.

Fredly looked at Stevani. "Miss...we offer you big money, why do you keep rejecting it?"

"Sorry sir, I never drink at all" Stevani replied.

"Are you guys sure this woman never drinks, the drink delivery guy certainly can drink, what this club hires good women is good." Fredly's taunts make them all laugh.

"It looks like he's waiting for us to keep raising Fred's price" Jimmy said. "Well beautiful lady, I haven't made the offer. What if you drink a glass of this whiskey and kiss me, seven million for you." he continued.

"Wow, I'll also raise the price if you want to kiss me" Assen said.

"Of course I want to be kissed by him" Cris said.

"Your turn is Fred, how much do you offer?" ask Dirsan.

"Oh my God, what are they playing? I have to stay patient with them, otherwise Mr. Huber can blame me." Stevani thought.

"Ten million and a glass of whiskey, but you have to come with me to the hotel" Fredly said.

Everyone let go of his laughter.

"You bought this beautiful lady too cheap Fred" Jimmy said with a laugh.

Everyone was staring at Stevani. Stevani smiled at them.

"What's less tall, miss? You're not a virgin, are you?" tease Fredly.

Stevani surprised. "I. i..."

"Oh come on, lady, don't waste our time. Now make your choice..."

"What are you guys doing?" zionel asked into the room.

"Yo.. who's this handsome guy" said Fredly.

Everyone stared at Zionel who was stepping his feet towards them. Stevani looked at Zionel with a fixation.

"This man turned out to be what they said, so he was their friend. I even forgot his name even though he mentioned it back then." thought Stevani.

They all stood up to welcome Zionel's presence, one by one hugging him happily.

"I don't think you want to come here, Zio" Assen said.

"Where possible, if you invite me. I'm sorry I haven't arranged the time to meet you guys because there's a problem at the branch company. It just so happened that I was celebrating because our problem was finally over" Zionel replied and looked at Stevani.

"Why should I meet this woman here? But why does my heart beat so hard." Zionel thought.

"We understand Zio, you're a very busy man. We're always looking forward to this meeting, how many years haven't you been to this town?" jimmy said.

"Well, you said your friend was a cocky guy who won't be friends with you anymore" Stevani thought.

"Cris and Dirsan just happened to be coming, so they wanted to have a drink" Assen replied.

"So like that, but I can't stay here for long, my business colleagues are still on the third floor. We can arrange another time to meet again" Zionel said.

"Come on Zio, let's relax for a bit. And of course play with this beautiful woman" Fredly said.

"played? You guys don't be like that."

"We're just offering money, come play with us for a while Zio. It's rare that we do this madness." replied Fredly.

They all laughed again.

"All right, so what do you have to offer?" ask Zionel.

"A glass of whiskey with varying prices and conditions" Assen replied.

Zionel still did not understand what they were saying, Fredly explained it and mentioned their offers one by one. Zionel stared at the flustered Stevani without commenting.

"Waitwait... Did this waitress agree to have a drink with you?" ask Zionel.

"Where he may have turned it down, he was just waiting for the highest offer. Isn't that right, Miss Vani?" ask Fredly.

"I'm sorry, sir, I told you from the beginning that I can't drink. I never drank alcohol at all. I stay here just to pour the drink." replied Stevani.

"You are imposing your will, if he can't drink to what compels him" Zionel said.

"Unfortunately we don't trust Zio, since when the drinker never drank alcohol. It's a nightclub, not a sacred place." said Dirsan.

They all laughed again.

"They're right, maybe this woman is just pretending and waiting for a higher offer. Women like this always do it to make easy money." Zionel thought.

"Come on Zio, we want to know how big a conglomerate guy offers you. Maybe he'll have a drink with your biggest offer" said Fredly, who spoke a lot.

"I don't want this woman kissing them for money, ah. But what do I care. Come on, Zio, this is none of your business." Zionel thought again.

"Come on Zio..."

"Oh, this is just our pleasure."

"Truely Zio, if he doesn't want to, we don't force him. But what's wrong with trying."

They all kept forcing Zionel to do their crazy game. Zionel's self-esteem is of course very high, he can't possibly disappoint his friends.

Zionel took his wallet, opened it and took an ATM card. The man pulled the corner of his lips and threw his card at the table.

"Where there's 200 million, you can have all that money if you can drink this bottle of whiskey. That's just another unconditional offer because I don't want to be touched by a woman like you" Zionel said, mocking.

"Wow... What if I did it?" ask Fredly.

"Huh.the bottom of a double eye." - Assen.

Their laughter exploded again.

Stevani stared at the ATM card in front of him. Coincidentally he was able to get the money in one night to pay his debt to Dani. But if he receives the money, then he must drink alcohol. He never drank a single drop, how could he drink a bottle of wine.

"Oh my God, money is in sight, this is my only chance to get the money. At least I'm just drinking instead of selling myself. Zaline. I'm sorry you had to do this." Stevani thought sadly.

Stevani steps her feet toward the table, all staring questioningly at Stevani. There are 6 cups of whiskey and one bottle of whiskey that is still intact there as their game.

"Wooooo... Who did this woman choose?" said Simon.

They continued to stare at Stevani, while Zionel stared at her cynically.

"I've guessed this woman is waiting for the highest offer, cheap women are the same. I'm sure he'll drink a bottle of whiskey for my 200 million dollars." Zionel thought with a cynical smile.

Stevani's hand trembled as she extended her hand forward. His hands began to sweat, he hoped that what he was doing did not get him killed for having to look after Zaline. He also hopes that after drinking the whiskey, he can immediately vomit it in the toilet.

"Well, great choice" they said at the same time.

*****

Whose drink did Stevani take? Would he drink a bottle of whiskey?
