Chapter 127: Shameless

"So?" Shen Qui maintained his stern face as he looked at Ben. However, he didn't miss the change in Lyca's expression. It was subtle, the small movement in her eyes, the movement in her fingers that was resting on his leg. Something was wrong with the wine, he immediately concluded. 

"Well… of course. Let me allow my people to prepare everything. Give us a few minutes." Ben signaled the woman earlier and his men to leave them. "Please give me a few minutes. For now, please enjoy the wine," he stood and gave Shen Qui and Lyca a small bow before leaving the room. 

When Ben left, Lyca and Shen Qui eyed each other, but none of them said anything. They knew that a camera was planted inside this place. They also know that there was a recorder that would record everything that they say. Of course, Lyca did the best way to avoid any possible conversations.

She suddenly sat on his lap, straddling him as she smiled. Then she leaned towards his ear. "People are watching."

"Naughty," his voice was low and warm, sending small shivers inside her stomach. He then removed the glass of wine from Lyca's hands and put it on the table. Isn't this just the best excuse that one can have to avoid drinking the wine? His hand held her hips, locking it against his.

"I haven't done anything like this before," she giggled and stared at his eyes. Brushing her lips against his, Lyca whispered. "But I think I would like it." Her face was too close to his, she could feel his hot breath against his lips. His shadowed face stared back at her, his half-opened eyes made her want to beg him to undress her. But that — is something for later.

Seeing the look in her eyes, Shen Qui smirked before his other hand slowly moved towards the back of her head and pulled her closer, smashing her lips into his. The kiss was steamy and hot. There was no pretense nor fakery as they closed their eyes and parted their lips letting each other's tongue intertwined. 

The two were so engrossed in kissing each other that they had forgotten someone else is looking at them from the hidden camera inside the room.

"Why are they kissing?" Ben hissed.

"Boss, they are teenagers. Or at least they look like they are still in their early twenties. You know how people that age these days. I wouldn't be surprised if they do it inside that room while waiting for you." Another man chuckled. "That would be good. Watching a live show— "

"Shut it!" Ben frowned. The wine contained something that would make it easier for him to negotiate with Shen Qui. However, it needed at least five minutes to take effect. If this kiss goes on… "Go and send that woman inside." He uttered.

"Boss… I don't think that is such a good idea…"

"Just send her in!"

"Mr. Q is armed," the man shrugged before he picked up the phone and told someone to send the woman in. Then the two watched as the woman meekly walked inside the room. To their surprise, Lyca and Shen Qui didn't stop doing what they were doing. The two just kissed, touching each other's body and acted as if …. No one was watching them. 

"Shameless!" Ben exclaimed. These two were really disrespecting the facility!

"Probably high?"

"This is not going to work," Ben uttered. He couldn't really stay out here for too long and make Mr. Q suspicious. "If they won't drink the wine…" A sigh escaped his lips as he watched Lyca started to grind her hips against Mr. Q. "Young people are clumsy— too clumsy."

"He won. Just give him what he wanted."

Ben shrugged in response. "Process it. He wanted another club, we should have that. He wanted diamonds, he should uphold the dignity of this facility."

"Weren't you planning to drug them?" Ben's assistant immediately ridiculed him, but he stood from his seat and started calling people to process everything. "Aiyo… Ben… it seems that our profits tonight were affected because of the diamonds."

"It was beginners luck," Ben uttered and clicked his tongue. He was planning to drug them, but he wasn't planning to do something so extreme that could damage the facility's reputation. "Tsk…. This is really a bad night for us," he stood from his seat and put his hands in his pockets. "Tell me if everything is ready."

"I need five more minutes. You should go back."

Ben nodded and clenched his jaws before walking back to the VVIP room. When Ben walked inside, Lyca and Shen Qui were still kissing. This made him wonder if they were on to something. "Ehem…" When the two noticed that he was already inside, they immediately stopped kissing. Lyca sat properly and beamed at him.

"We're sorry about that."

"…" Seeing this woman smiled at him like this really made him irritated. Ben frowned and looked at Shen Qui instead. "Thank you for patiently waiting Mr. Q. Everything will be ready in five minutes."

"Thank you." Shen Qui said. "As expected of this facility."

"Hmmm." Ben nodded and faked another smile. Then he poured himself another glass of wine and held it in front of Shen Qui and Lyca. "Here… cheers to this transaction."

"Mr. Ben… you didn't give us our winnings yet." Lyca reminded and giggle. "I believe, a toast would be logical after we got our diamonds. Isn't that right, honey?" She leaned towards Shen Qui. Her action immediately made Ben furious. However, he was still forced to smile at the escort.

"That is right." Ben gritted his teeth inwardly and thought about the investigation that he just opened about Mr. Q's identity. Too bad, he didn't actually include this woman in his investigations. In his eyes, Lyca was nothing but an escort. Why would he waste his resources and time with this woman? However, after tonight, he immediately made a mental note to search for this escort and show her the consequences of talking like this to the people of this facility.

If needed, Ben was planning to kill her.
