“You have a lot of liabilities to me, and you haven’t paid me. I just lent you the last five months, and you are here again in my office borrowing a not-so-huge amount of money… I already paid off your liabilities in the bank.” He crosses his arms. My liabilities to him are about a million, and I haven’t paid him any cents.
“Do you want a sugar daddy? I’ll introduce someone to you.” He teases me.
I cringe. Why does this lawyer think of it just this moment? I am already married, huhu?
“Is he smell good? I do not want those smelly bad men.”I joke.
He chuckled.
“Hey! He smells more expensive than you, and his perfume is money.” He joke.
I remembered an attorney who smelled like a dollar. I don’t smell him a dollar every time he doesn’t have money.
“How do you need it?” He got up and came to his table and opened a drawer. He also gets a ballpen and paper. That paper is familiar, hihi.
“Half a million?” I said shyly, and I couldn’t look at him.
“You feel shy? Make it a million” He teases me while shaking his head and starting to write on that small paper.
“Weltry, do you need an assistant? I am willing to apply, or do you need a personal assistant? I can be. You have a lot of money. Are you a CEO? You have a lot of money than the owner of a company.”
He is a vice president of an insurance company. He started in a low position, but because of his hard work and determination, he was promoted and promoted and became a Vice president.
He gave me the cheque, and my eyes widened when he wrote a million on it. I will suffer for the rest of my life. He is torturing me with the money that I borrowed from him.
“Go to the sugar daddy, I am telling you, so you won’t need to work the whole day, and you can pay me… I am sure that sugar daddy gonna say yes to you. You can ask for money from him instead of borrowing from me.” He told me, and he put back the things he got.
His table is so neat, clean, and organized.
“I’ll think about it.” I always grab the opportunity that is in front of me. I do not want to say no. I’m still looking for possible things.
“Do you have a sugar daddy?” I raise my eyebrow up and down. “That’s why you have a lot of money, and borrowing me is nothing on you, and where did you get that money that you’re lending to me? You won’t initiate introducing a sugar daddy to me if you don’t have one .” I have a suspicion about him.
He chuckled. “Correction, sugar, mommy.” He corrected me.
“I am not a gay to have a sugar daddy.”
“They are just the same; they are both sweet.” I reason.
He shook his head, “get out, I have a lot of things needed to do, and no questions are allowed every time you borrow money, okay? You must be thankful that I am borrowing you.” There’s a difference in his smile. He looks won on something that I should not know.
I cringe.
“Okay, thank you. If you are not my cousin, I already courted you and made you my boyfriend.”
“You're crushing me, huh.” Weltry teases me.
I hurriedly answered, “you are right!” I said, full of power and confidence.
“You are not my type, and if you became my girlfriend, I might get bankrupt, and I do not want myself to burn in liabilities and be chased because I am not paying my debts..” He rode at my joke, but he knows how to tease me.
Grrrr! Weltry! If you’re not borrowing me money, I already punch you until you bleed!
I glared at him, “okay, thank you. Love you, cousin. Mwah! Mwah! With sound.” I gave him a flying kiss, but he hid.
I am lively left his office, and I am singing while walking on the exit of this building.
fifty-five minutes later
Weltry enters his office when a man in a suit sits in his visitor’s chair.
He seems to wait for him for almost an hour.
His nose is sharpened from a distance between his office table and his office door. What a pointed nose it is. He’s playing with Weltry’s pen coolly.
His dark brown hair makes it looks light brown because of the sun.
He silently sat on his swivel chair.
“Atty. Kienzo.” Weltry Uttered.
“Bolat, are you sure I am just a waitress here? Ah.”
I’m ensuring that sometimes Bolat is a scammer and that what he says is not valid.
“yes, sis. You don’t trust me, and look at your dress,” he looks at my outfit, “it looks presentable.” He commented while smiling.
I look at myself in the mirror. I said yes to the job Bolat offered me while waiting for the companies to call for a job interview. I used the money I brought from Weltry to pay my debt, apply for a job, and eat outside alone. I’ll just pay Kienzo when he asks for compensation and interest. I still don’t have the money that I earned.
“Let’s go, sis.” I let him pull me.
“You already know what to do, and I already train. Don’t punch customers, okay? Are we clear? Okay.”
Bolat reminded me as we walked down the stairs.
I nodded to him as an answer.
I started to work, worked peacefully for almost an hour, and was tired. There are a lot of customers, and I don’t know who to face. As the time gets late, the place is crowded. So, this is felt to work in this kind of place. Anyway, I received a lot of tips.
Bolat left me, and I do now know where he is.
“Ms, ten bucks for one night.” An old customer whispered while I put their order on the table.
My hair rose, including down there to what he said. I am not into a smelly older man.
“Ay, My work here is only waitress. No take-out. If you want to take out choose to our menu. Joke! Okay, I gotta go..” I also pointed at the women on the stage who were busy swaying their hips.
I left him; he looked maniac.
On my first night in this bar, my experience wasn’t that good; there were a lot of addicts and maniacs and wild women. I even saw having a quickie in the comfort room and everywhere in the dark place of this bar. I sighed; they have a lot of money, so they can do whatever they want. I still feel thankful and great to live that I have. I must not feel jealous of others; I don’t know what they have been through.
I saw a group of friends ready to dance at the table.
My eyes widened. Someone hold my arm. A cold palm and a smell rich man. His perfume smell that he is a rich man. I guess everyone here is rich.
Shit!
I slowly looked at him and was about to yell and punch him when I swallowed my tongue. I felt like my body drained when I totally saw him.
Putang piki! What the fuck! What is he doing here? Why is this lawyer in this kind of place?
“Hey.” he smiled at me widely, and his fangs showed up. I mean, his white teeth.
“Do I know yah?” I asked him. I need to pretend that I don’t know him.
He smiled at me, “aren’t you the wife of Atty? Enzo?” He asked.
“huh? This kind of look? Do I look like a wife of a lawyer?” I asked while pointing at myself.
Now, I know that feeling of being shy; this is my experience of feeling fearful; I hope I didn’t feel it. I feel so scared at this moment.
He looks at my face, every detail of it.
“It’s you,” He assures.
“No! I am not! You have mistaken me! Even if you are a lawyer, I will slap this tray in your face!!” I threaten him. I bit my lower dry pale lip,
He didn’t fight with me and left me; I even heard his laughs while walking out.
“Ouch!” I reacted when I tried to slap the tray on my forehead.
