Chapter 77 - Deal with Mr. Chu

"Is that all you want ? Just for that transgender to be in my agency?" Ray Sotto asked, one brow raising in both irritation and slight fear.  

Daniella nodded  "Yes, but of course I also want you to focus on her, give her a lot of projects, advertising and appearances on T.V " she paused and looked up at the ceiling  "also I want her to be fully guarded, a nice condo near your agency would be perfect " as she stated her request, the manager was looking at her with a mixture of  shock and irritation "oh" she smiled heavenly "you need to treat her with respect. If I hear that she's getting maltreated by your other models, I will find them and break each of their long legs."  

Daniella cleared her throat as she coughed  "I Apologize , I smoked a packet of cigarette last night so my throat is a little dry," she politely said but viciousness was sparkling in her eyes hiding behind the bill of her cap "So Mr. Sotto warn your girls ok? I loathe women with longs legs, simply because I have short legs " she beamed a wicked smile at him "if I see my friend crying or even just sad I am going to chop off their long legs with pleasure."  

Daniella switched her eyes to the woman sitting next to the manager, she could see the desperation in her eyes and the bruises on her skin.  

"Don't ever touch my models!" the manager suddenly yelled he picked up a phone from the coffee table in front of him and swiftly dialed a number.  

Daniella scoffed she knew very well whom he was going to call , in this industry everyone had a connection, including the manager in front of her.  

"Kuwan Help me!" he yelled out "a woman here is trying to hurt my models," he continued in an almost crying tone.  

Daniella shook her head, she had known Kuwan, he was the right-hand man of the Blue Dragon boss and she believed that the gang had been protecting Ray Sotto and in exchange he would send his models to entertain Kuwan's boss.  

To her Ray Sotto was like a pimp, selling and using his models to gain money and power.  

She shifted from one foot to the other as she walked towards the manager  and when she reached him she took the phone from his trembling hands and walked back to her previous position with the phone on her ear.  

"Hi Kuwan, this is Daisy could you pass the phone to your boss please?"  

Silence filled the other line a moment later whispering voices overlapped  the phone.  

"My boss doesn't want to speak with you" Kuwan replied coldly.  

"That's a shame, anyway could you ask him if he got my message?" she responded as she chewed on her nails.  

Once again Kuwan disappeared and when he came back he answered firmly "no".  

"Oh!" Daniella slapped a hand on her forehead "Of course, he wouldn't see it. I wrote it on the ass of one of his men" she paused for a moment, "so if your boss wants to know my message you can gather those five men and ask them to pull down their trousers " she giggled because of  her playful words.  

The other line went silent once again  Daniella waited and waited until an unfamiliar voice sounded from the other.  

"What do you want  woman?" voice as cold as an ice spoke from the other line, it sounded husky with a touch of exhaustion.  

Daniella's lips curved a lopsided grin, "Mr. Chu it's very nice to hear your voice " she said with a fake smile  "have you read the message I wrote on your man's behind?"  

A long sigh sounded from the other line, "Yes, it says  I want D , what does D mean?"   

"Well I meant to write Dexter but that freaking marker's ink had already finished " she scoffed rolling her eyes as she saw the manager's paling face "In summary I want Dexter to live a normal life. So could you and your shenanigans leave her alone?"   

"Her?" for the first time, Daniella heard his laugh but it was full of sarcasm like she was a kid that should not be taken seriously "He's a man."  

Daniella lifted her shoulder in a half shrug  as if the man was in front of her "She's a woman to me," she replied "So could you leave her alone?"  

"No" he replied without consideration.  

"It's not going to be free Mr. Chu, I am a lawyer, if you give Dexter her freedom the pending case you filed against your father's murderer, I will make sure to win it."   

"I am listening " he replied in the same robotic tone he had used earlier.  

"Well  first of all Mr. Chu the man in the police custody is just a puppet, the person who had your father shot is walking freely and I happen to know him."  

"Who is it?" he asked in a flat tone something which bothered Daniella.  

"Do we have a deal?" she asked.  

"Tell me first who he is and I will give you my decision."  

Daniella shook her head, "That's not how I do my business Mr. Chu, you tell me it's a deal and I will give you the name."  

"Fine deal " he replied.  

Daniella rose an eyebrow in triumph, "Great it was the previous military General."   

"Come to my office and we will discuss this further" the man on the other line stated.  

"No Mr. Chu I am kind of  busy so I can't  meet you today. What about next week?"  

"No, I will be out of the country next week."  

Daniella sighed "the week after that?"  

"I won't be back in the next two months."  

Daniella's nose wrinkled impatiently  " what about next year?" she blurted with sarcasm.  

"Meet me at my bar at 7 , don't be late."   

Before Daniella could even reply the man had ended the call.  

In a fit of rage  Daniella threw the manager's phone at the wall, it fell to the ground in pieces as the screen shattered .  

Her eyes pitch-black in anger glared at the manager "tell your asshole friend that I won't meet him later. He can wait forever but I won't meet him " she took in a deep sigh to calm herself but it didn't help at all "he will either meet me next week or I am going to blow up his bar " saying that with anger  Daniella hustled out of the room in a huff and proceeded to the fire exit.
