I'm Not a Cheap Woman

Barmy

Stevani entered the club, as he usually does through the employee's door. But after he reached the employee's room, he found no one there.

"It looks like they've started working" Stevani thought.

He picked up his bag and cell phone left in his locker and walked out of the room.

"I have to figure out what really happened last night to me, why I ended up in a hotel room and let go of my chastity without me remembering who the man who desecrated me was." Stevani thought again.

Stevani steps up to find a friend of his. He stared at the bar from a distance.

"I couldn't have seen Angga's sister after the hospital incident. I can't tell you about what happened to me yesterday either. I have to see Cia or Mr. Huber." muttered Stevani.

Stevani tries to avoid Angga, he slowly steps his feet and hides behind the bodies of club guests. He breathed a sigh of relief as he made it past the bar table.

"Lucky Angga's sister is busy, Cia should be in the Orchid room tonight. The customer will come tonight there." said Stevani as he headed to the Orchid room.

Arriving at the door of the room, he was very hesitant to go inside. Stevani was just stuck there thinking of a way to talk to Cia.

"Van. you came" said Juana making Stevani gasp.

"Oh my God, you surprised me."

"You're the one who surprised the club employees, come with me." Juana took Stevani's hand to a quieter place.

"Why did you quit this job without saying anything to us Van?"

Juana began to rebuke him after they were more comfortable to talk.

"I'm sorry Jua, I came here to say goodbye to you" Stevani replied.

"So you really want to stop working?"

Stevani nodded her head. "I'll be moving to D. I can't work here anymore."

"But why did it arrive, what actually happened to you? Your sister's operation was successful, right? Why did you first take a leave of absence and now decide to stop working?"

Stevani took a long breath. "You're like an investigator, miss. How should I answer all your questions."

"Tell me everything, you know what's really disappointed is Cia. That woman ever since you heard the news stopped without saying anything, she's been crispy."

"The story is very long Jua, but before that may I ask?"

Juana nodded her head.

"Do you know what happened to me last night? I can't remember it until now."

Juana stared. "You really forgot?"

Stevani nodded.

"I'm also not clear what happened to you, last night we were all very busy. But you told Tia that you accepted the challenge of the rich man in the jasmine room to earn money. Is that true? Do you remember that?"

"Of course that part I remember, which I asked..."

Stevani stops her saying, should she tell Juana what happened to her. Stevani recalls the incident, and remembers that Zionel was in the room participating in the game. And if not wrong, he actually accepted the man's offer for 200 million dollars.

"Hey... Why are you daydreaming?" ask Juana.

"That night I accepted the challenge of drinking one bottle of whiskey for 200 million dollars. But after that I don't remember anything anymore" Stevani replied.

"Well..you drink one bottle and you never drink at all, are you looking to die Van?"

"By Zaline and despite Dani's pitfalls, I was forced to do it."

"So you managed to get the money and get away from Mr. Dani."

Stevani shook her head, causing Juana to fall apart.

"Then...?"

"That's what I want to ask you, do you know after that what happened to me?"

"That morning when I woke up, I still had a chance to see the ATM card containing the money on the bedside table. After I was drunk, I still had time to bring the card. Who among them has taken my sanctity? My God... What should I do now?" stevani.

"You daydream again Van. Do you remember anything? Then if you're really drinking into a hangover, why don't you get the money?" ask Juana curiously.

"Forget it Jua, I myself am still very confused. My memory was riveted when I drank that bottle of whiskey, after that whether I was drunk or I fainted, and how after that I didn't know at all."

"But after you realized you woke up in your own house right?"

"Of course, where else" Stevani replied quickly.

"Jeez, I'm just asking. What about Zaline?"

"His operation went well, I'll take him to the best hospital in town D for further treatment. That's why I decided to stop working Jua."

"So you're still tied to Mr Dani?"

Stevani shook her head.

"Huh... then?"

"There are other rescuers who helped me get out of Dani's car" Stevani replied.

"But I was like coming out of a crocodile's mouth, into a tiger's cage. My life remains controlled by others now." thought Stevani.

"Thank God then. I hope you and your sister are happy, I will definitely miss our Van togetherness." Juana said as she hugged Stevani.

Stevani returned the hug of her friend. "Thank you, if I can get back to this town, I promise I'll see you all."

Juana nodded. "I have to work now, I'll call Cia. Stay here until Cia comes."

"Thank you Jua, after meeting Cia, I'll meet Mr. Huber, Angga's sister, Tia and the others to say goodbye."

Juana smiled and left Stevani for the Orchid room. Stevani continued to stand there waiting for the woman who always helped him out of trouble at the club.

"Finally you dare to appear before me Van." snapped Cia.

Stevani reviews her smile and hugs Cia. "Don't be angry Cia..."

"How come I'm not mad, you quit this job without saying anything to me. I haven't been to the hospital because I was so drunk when I woke up it was time to work. What exactly happened to you? Tell Vani, I'm sure there's something. Your sister's okay, right?" ask Cia.

Stevani let go of his embrace. "Zaline's condition was still weak, after surgery she had to undergo intensive care Cia. I can't even see his face yet. The doctor said he should stay in the room for at least 3 weeks. Cia, do you know what happened to me yesterday?"

"Of course I know. After you accepted the jasmine man's challenge, you foolishly accepted the challenge of drinking a bottle of whiskey."

"Then what happened to me?"

"Otherwise miss? As a beginner of course you fell unconscious."

"Then?"

"You were brought home by a handsome man. Mr. Huber said you were sent home. You don't remember it at all?"

"Sir Huber knows?"

"Of course you know, they asked Mr. Huber for permission."

"They? You mean the one that took me more than one person? Do you know who they are?"

"Haisssss. Why do you keep asking? I don't know who they are. Nothing happened to you, right? You switched the conversation, I still don't understand why you stopped working when you asked for leave" replied Cia annoyed.

"I'm fine, I just asked Cia. Because after that I really don't remember anything." Stevani replied.

"I wasn't escorted home by Cia, they took me to a hotel. It means more than one person sleeping with me. I'm really dirty, if Zaline finds out she's gonna hate me. I'm sorry Cia, I can't tell you everything." Stevani thought sadly.

"It's natural that if you don't remember, you're right to almost finish one bottle of whiskey. Strong alcohol can damage your memory, but as time goes by, you will definitely remember everything." Cia added.
