Lau Mei arrived 30 mins before her date arrives. She arrived at the King's Hotel in a royal green 3 piece suit and wearing a eye glasses that make her more of a man matching her synthetic stubbles that made her like a newly shave man.
Lau Mei arrived at the basement parking lot of King's Hotel with Adam.
So she headed straight to the elevator and look at the reception desk. When she arrives she casually ask the receptionist and ask the reservation by her mother and the Zhang family as not to cause any conflict. What quite annoyed her is when she saw the receptionist staring at her.
"Do I have any dirt on my face?" she asked.
The receptionist was flustered when she was as by Lau Mei and immediately say her apology to Lau Mei.
"That's fine I just don't want someone staring at me and back to the business could you lead me there now" Lau Mei told the receptionist.
The receptionist quickly rushed and pulled the candle like lever. Lau Mei was not surprised when she entered the restaurant cause she knows that some elites of the society always gather here and the King's Hotel prioritize the security of the guest and keep meetings of their guest as extremely confidential.
When she's inside the restaurant she saw so many men and women who are from the different sectors of the country from merchants, businessman, company executives to higly government officials are there for various reasons some are for intel, money, connections, some are also here to find a match for themselves or relatives to extend their connections and control with an ambition to have the seat for ultimate power.
She must be careful in every she move she does or else she might trigger some bad sides. Lau Mei blend to her surrounding having exchange talks to some businessmen, did some exchange of names and contacts. One of those is the Liu Yang, from what she knows from him he handles a big shipping company, they get along so well that they even have same interest in chess. When suddenly Lui Yang invited him to play chess with him. When some elites heard Lui Yang invitation to Lau Mei they got excited as Lui Yang rarely invited a person to have a chess play with him.
Lau Mei originally wanted to decline the invitation as to she just wanted to see her date only but she didn't expect that Lui Yang would invite her at the end she accepted his invitation a crowd has been formed as not only to enjoy the play but also to have a little play of gamble among themselves.
The game will about to commence and the floating wooden chess pieces move by itself to go back their original places and suddenly a large holographic screen appeared above the chessboard as to show the gameplay that will happen and by the right side of it a betting system has appeared the name of Lui Yang can be seen and Lau Mei has been named as Guest.
Many elites are indulge to spend money to show their power so they put their bets.
"I bet $100,000 for Lui Yang"
"I bet $50,000 for Guest"
"$200,000 for Lui Yang"
Until the bet went up to $1,000,000 for Lui Yang and for Lau Mei only reach for $50,000.
Lui Yang was quite pleased when he saw the bets as his purpose is to impose his superiority to Lau Mei.
Lau Mei was not bothered by the bets but she knows what Lui Yang wants to her to recognized his superiority. In her thoughts, I'll just show what can I do and let fate decide on this.
In the middle of the game a lady arrive with a body guard on her side arrived. Her beauty stunned a lot of men inside the restaurant especially her figure that made many man look like a pack of hungry wolves and because of that an idea came to Lau Mei.
Because of this many men that brought their wives at the restaurant received a big hit from the back of their heads.
She planned to have a slow her game play to the point that Lui Yang will be irritated. As a result.
"Do you need more time Mr...?" said by Lui Yang as he forgot to ask her name a while ago with a hint of irritation.
"Lau. You can call me Mr. Lau" said by Lau Mei while still looking at the chessboard as if she was thinking her next move.
"Well Mr. Lau why not we set on a fast pace game play the two of us will have a minute to take their next move. What do you say?" Lui Yang was obviously giving a hint that she should make it faster as he was irritated.
"Well am not good at fast pace Mr. Lui Yang" Lau Mei said with a hint of sadness.
As to comfort Lau Mei. He offers a wager that he thinks is a Win-win situation for him.
"Well a wager Mr. Lau would you like?" asked by Lui Yang
"Am listening" affirmed by Lau Mei which made her heart glee so much. Her prediction of Lui Yang was right. Lau Mei take a glance at the lady who is now having a drink and she thinks that it must be her Lucky Charm.
"Well if you win all the bet will be yours plus I will also give you $1,000,000 but if you lose your company will be ours"
"Sounds tempting... but not enough what about this, I will give $10,000,000 and, my company will be yours, if you win, but if you lose you'll give me your share from your company. It's more equally valuable than what you offer. What do say Mr. Lui Yang?
"umm... Okay deal" Lui Yang thinks that he wants to resign the game as he want to know the lady that just arrived but he can't as too the restaurant rules that a chess game should only be finished with only one victor. The offer of Mr. Lau is really tempting that he push the girl with the body guard on the back of his mind. The wager is big enough that he can have a company so easily without even making so much effort.
Lau Mei called one butler and settle a contract for the two of them they set the restaurant as witness of their deal and once they turn back to their deal one will no longer has any right to enter the King's Hotel again and will be distinguish as a person who do not honor their word.
Meanwhile, Zhang Wei and Lu Ting are assisted by the butler of the restaurant to the room that is reserve. When Zhang Wei noticed that their where 2 gentleman playing chess. He got curious about it but not about the gentleman who are playing but to the mechanism of the chessboard itself.
"Lady Zhang we have the room ready shall we go in" whispered by the butler to Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei gracefully turn his head and walk elegantly. This made the men inside the restaurant more curious as the lady is really a beauty and some of them are dying to know him and some of them are ashamed of themselves as why they don't have a gift of height.
They are afraid if they approach Zhang Wei they will be looked down upon and it will look like a laughing stock inside the restaurant.
Inside the reserve room. When Zhang Wei and Lu Ting enters the room and closed the door. Zhang Wei is dying to removed the duct tapes but he didn't it and also he was having a hard time to sit because the duct tapes are being more pushed to his generation maker every time he sits.
"The duct tapes inside me are irritating it makes me want to remove them" Zhang Wei said.
"Inside you?... you mean even your back hole has also tape inside!" shockingly said by Lu Ting.
When Zhang Wei heard Lu Ting interpretation. He doesn't he even know if Lu Ting is being funny or being a block head. Zhang Wei wishes that Lu Ting could experience what he was going through so he could understand him well.
Instead of being angry he just changed the subject.
"Do you think my date is already here?" he ask Lu Ting with full of curiosity in his eyes.
He thinks that if his date arrives he wants to flaunt that he is a gay and Lu Ting is his boyfriend/bodyguard. Thinking about his plan Zhang Wei is so happy that he wants to jump. He continues to speak again.
"You know what Lu Ting I am dying to meet my date as I want to ruin her beautiful fantasy of me" He said cheerfully while holding the wine in a feminine manner.
"Go to the reception and check if my date has arrived." he told Lu Ting with a hint of excitement.
After few minutes Lu Ting is still not coming back to the room. Zhang Wei is still waiting for Lu Ting when he recalls his clutch bag to get his phone but sadly as he think of the phone and he suddenly remembered that he left it inside the car of Lu Ting. Zhang Wei scratched the back of his head.
"Wrong timing. Why did I left my phone." Zhang said to himself.
He stood up, opened the door and surprised on what he saw. A man standing in front of the door and his hand is about to knock the door when he open it.
