Chapter 81: the drive

The night is silent so is Jerry. He glimpsed at me from time to time so I showed him an excited face. I

wanna ask him so bad where are we going but I'm scared he will get even more pissed off so I rather C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

not.

After 30 mins drive we stopped in a big classy building connected to a hotel. It's classy enough. It looks

like a high end bar. Jerry showed his VIP card that made us in. This place is exclusively for members. I

just manage to get in because of Jerry. The music is soothing. People are drinking on their places. I

think I saw familiar faces from entertainment industry but I didn't stop to confirm Jerry is moving ahead

so fast. He has to meet someone so I better catch up before I get lost to this place. After a while in a

private lounge an old man drinking is waiting for him. Beside him is a very attractive woman. It is Mr.

Aragon a known businessman. No wonder Jerry is so anxious to be late and get bothered, he is here to

settle a deal with Mr. Aragon. Apparantly the old man is going to finance his next project. The deal was

closed almost instantly, they started drinking and talking about some personal stuff. I started drinking

too as courtesy to the old man. Jerry is stopping me to drink too much.

"Let the lady enjoy herself." Mr Aragon exclaimed.

"She's not a drinker. I know her better."

" Ow, I see. So tell me is she you're girlfriend or is she your gift to me?" The old man asked that

surprised me very much. Jerry laughed at his statement. I'm sorry Mr. Aragon she's my girlfriend. My

gift will be send on next coming days." The old man laugh as well.

"I like this one though. She looks innocent." The old man continued laughing. We the girls laugh along

with them.

" I'm telling you, she's not at all innocent. She's not of your level. I will get you a better one some other

day." Jerry's statement challenge me behind my back. He is belittlling me in front of Mr. Aragon but it is

evident that he is doing this to protect me.

"Can I dance with her atleast?" Requested the old man. Jerry gave his permission. The attendant

played a classic rhumba.

"I didn't imagine that Mr Aragon is a skilled dancer." I commented.

"Thanks for the compliment! You should have seen me on my younger years. You will fall in love with

me at an instant."

"I'm sure I would. You have that oozing carisma even now." I continued to flatter the old man. I found

myself enjoying the dance with him. He made me giggle for his unexpected twist of bending me down,

which is cool. He managed to lead me like a pro.
