Chapter 45: Excessive Demand
Chapter 45: Excessive Demand
At ten o'clock in the evening, Ella and Alice's flight arrived in Las Vegas.
Out of the airport, they took a taxi and headed straight to the Kingsoft Club."
Eva, who had bought the same flight, had been following them, and the two taxis kept at a distance."
An hour later, Ella and Alice got out of the taxi."
When Ella was still in the taxi, she called Doug, saying that she had arrived in Las Vegas and raised money.
Doug was quite surprised, but the thought of getting the money soon was eager to receive it.
Doug was waiting for them in the top office of the Kingsoft Club.
Ella and Alice took a deep breath and walked into this colorful building.
As the elevator went up, they saw the night view outside the glass door. It was a real tipsy.
The wonderful nightlife glamour around them invisibly attracts all kinds of greed in people's heart.
In the elevator, Alice said to Ella, "You can rest assured. My friends here said he was a trustworthy person! Generally he is more peaceful than others. There has never been a murder in his casino."
She thought for a while and said," I guess something he told you on the phone were just exaggerations in order to get the money as soon as possible. Don't worry, I've told to my friends that if we give him money while still be kept, they'll call the police."
"Alice, thank you so much! Say thank you to your friends for me …" Ella was a little bit nervous at the moment, as long as the matter has not been solved she cannot really rest assured.
Alice touched the back of her hand and nodded to her.
Then the elevator stopped on the top floor, Ella and Alice exhaled a breath and went out of the elevator.
In the hallway not far away stood black guards every twenty meters. They looked at Ella and Alice not very friendly, and some of them even unkindly looking at their bodies.
Alice pulled Ella's arm quickly toward the office of Doug.
Within two minutes they walked to Tao's office, the door open and two black-clad guards standing at the gate."
"Hello, we're here to find Doug." Ella said firstly.
Doug pouring wine in front of the wine cabinet at this time went to the door. Upon seeing the the two beautiful women he said with a smile, " Which of you two is Ella?"
Ella nodded at Doug who looked a bit fierce. "Hello, I am Ella, I have brought money."
Doug, dark-skinned, in forties, wore a Guanyin jade pendant around his neck, a male designer and a string of rosewood Buddha beads on his wrist. After a sip of wine, he turned around and said, "Come in, both of you."
Ella and Alice looked at each other, tried to pretend to be ripe and steady and calm while walking into the office.
He sat in the leather swivel chair and said, "Before you came, Luke suddenly scratched the arm of one of my subordinates. They are all people who are with me. As their head, I am responsible for their safety. How do you deal with this matter?"
Ella was afraid and had no idea looking at Alice, Alice is calmer than her. She said to him with a smile, "What did you want, money or an apology?"
Doug took a glance at Alice and smiled. "Little girl, you have a bit of courage which I appreciate. Since you said that, then I speak straightly." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"Well, I have a friend to talk business in the evening, and my friend is a bit of a cheapskate old man who makes fun of me and says that I can't find a decent girl except to pay for a lady. Can you two be my girlfriend later?"
Doug saw both of them wiggling their eyebrows. He smiled, "You don't have to say anything, just sitting next to me and pouring wine for us. When he leaves, you two can take the old couple back with you. If needed, I can send you to the airport."
His words instantly let them very resistant. This kind of excessive demand raised almost let Ella stand up and scold him."
But the thought of her mother and Uncle still under control of him made her calm down. She said, "Doug, if Luke really scratched your brother, I feel sorry. Can you accept money as compensation? My friend and I came to Las Vegas to pay off gambling debt, not to accompany the wine. Please do not to be tough!"
Doug's dark eyes clearly flashed with displeasure, and the tone became cold. "I see you two are very good-looking to allow you to act as my girlfriend. I give you face but you don't give mine! Since you disagree, please go back! We'll talk about the debt some other day."
"But we flew all the way to Las Vegas." Ella still wants to say something but Alice made a look to her to stop her.
Doug's expression let them both not understand his mind. Eight million have already send to him. But this time they must accompany the wine, they were angry.
Alice sighed and pinched Ella's wrist. She looked up to Doug and said, "Doug, we agreed and we also hope you will keep your promise."
Seeing that they agreed, he began happy. "Don't worry! Don't worry! I won’t break my promise!"
Ella and Alice looked at each other, encouraging each other to bear it.
"You two are too casual, so I ask Aunt May to take you to dress up. You won't lose my face in front of my friends, will you?" He laughed too kindly that frightened both of them."
"All right, then we change our dressing. Alice tightly held Ella's hand, now she began to be more cautious."
Ella has felt bad, she just wanted to see her mother and Luke first, He seemed to understand her expression and smiled. "Ella, wait for a while. As soon as my friend leaves, I will take you to see your parents. Now you change clothes, my business friend will come in half an hour."
Ella and Alice were taken by two guards in black to meet Aunt May.
Soon after they left the office, his face sank and he took out his phone and called Tess.
Tess, smoking a cigarette in the nightclub, is picking the person to accompany the god of gambling in Las Vegas tonight. She asked, holding her phone, "What's wrong with you? I'm busy!"
Doug squinted his eyes with his own calculation, he told Tess, "I just sent two girls to you, one of them is Ella. Dress her up and bring her to Louis. I believe our Las Vegas gambler will be very happy."
The man raised his lips, "Wanna seduce me just after waking up, you little devil?"
