She was known as a feisty player who bet at a very high stake , her winning money had cause many casino in Honk Kong to close down it’s business . She read about Jame Atichart in a Singpore ‘s newspaper and was determine to beat the luckiest man in the world.
“Miss. Shampoo” said the waitress while taking the menu from her hand , “are you ready to order now?”
“bring me the best wine in Thailand” she reply with a smile . The waitress nodded and left . Jame appear at the entrance door of the restaurant , dress in formal wear and well groom , he look around for the person he suppose to have dinner with . He notice a beautiful girl sitting alone by the fountain and remember the picture from the magazine. He approach the table and sat down on the chair across from her .
“I’m Jame Atichart” he announce
“Shampoo”
“You are even more beautiful in person ” his eye quickly scan her womanly feature and with a grin of satisfaction , he said “and bigger than the photo” his gaze stop at her chest , she wore a stunning short chinese dress in a fantastic silvery lilac with fantastic color. It has purple embroidery of flowers that compliments the dress color beautifully. Her bare leg was long and creamy .
She notice his mischievous eye and switch her crossing leg , intentionally to make him crave for more, “You are quite handsome yourself” she whispered.
“thank you”
“I call you out because I want to discuss some matter before the up coming event in a few days”
“is there a problem ? I assure you , this match is highly publicize”
“I’m not worry about that , but I want to make a bargain with you”
He chuckle , “funny , you’re the second girl this week to ask for a bargain . Alright , what is it ?”
“The loser must do what ever the winner want”
“I can’t promise you that , what if you want me to strip in front of everyone ?” he said jokily , remembering the girl in the VIP room a couple days back .
“The luckiest man loses ? You never lost before and this bargain can be beneficial” she switch her crossing leg again , this time in a more slower motion.
“but my challenger is a tough one , I heard you roll 30 straight 7 . I can’t even do that”
“It a skill I learn but you have the luck , doesn’t that beat the odd?”
“Alright, you have yourself a bet. The loser must do a favor for the winner and it can’t be anything …humiliation in front of the public view or financial endangerment”
“I love a man with a good sport. Deal” she smile sweetly and toast him with a glass of wine . He join her with a wink.
Meanwhile at the Taksaorn’s residence , Lavadee throw her arm in the air in disbelief and nearly scream , “ y-you what ?!!”
Kuna Taksaorn shamefully lower his head and nodded , “I only want to win a couple more thousand --- I…I didn’t expect to lose all the money”
“dad ?! How can you do this to me--- again?! Do you know what I gone thru to get the money?!”
“I-I’am sorry , so sorry” he keep his head down , ashamed to look into his daughter ‘s eye .
Lavadee control herself from shredding tear and angrily left the house . She heard her dad calling her but she refuse to go back . She was careless to give the money to him when she could had gone down to the bank and pay for the house loan. Now they are back to square one . Nothing had been solve ! She was frustrated with her own father and herself for being careless . She drove to a near by bar and order some wine . She had never drink before but tonight she wanted to waste herself . The bartender place a glass in front of her and ask if she need anything else . She dismiss him and reach for the glass . She held her nose and swallow it . It burn !!!I shouldn’t had drink this !God , what am I going do ? I can’t go back to him again and play the same game . No fool is going lose another 7 million ! The first time he was probable drunk.
“hey !” she call the bartender
“Yes?”
She pay for the drink and left the bar feeling a little woozy. It was only one drink but the impact was making her head spin like a ticking clock! She run toward a light pole and grab a hold of it while she vomit violently . The smell was awful and disgusting as she stare down at the ground she puke . She thread thru her hair and close her eye , hoping the headache will go away . She heard a tire screech in front of her .
“out looking for customer again?” said a familiar voice . She slowly open her eye while putting the blurry image together and when it became clear she said “Y-you”
Jame Atichart pull up in his red convertible with the hood slide back . He drape his arm over the door and twist his lip in disgust , “With 7 million dollar I would of thought you quit your old job already. You just finish with a customer? ” he couldn’t believe how wasted she looked . Drunk in public and throwing up on the side of the street . Her hair is a pile of trash and the ..smell! He shiver at the thought he once nail her in the front seat in the VIP room.
Lavadee caught his disgusted look and immediately enrage by his comment! I was sad you bastard! I had a drink to relieve my stress ! I never drink in my life ! And I‘m not a whore ! I have a real job! I‘m a real estate She bit her lip to control herself from screaming at him and remain silent . She turn her face to the side to avoid his accusing eye but caught her own reflection in the rear mirror of his car . Her hair was disarrange , eye liner smear , cheek red hot and there was puke on her mouth . She gasp and quickly wipe her face .
“hey! say something!” he shouted and continue on , “what did you do with the money you won? Why are you wondering the street like a cheap whore ?”
“m-my car park over there” she said softly , holding her temper in check and continue to smooth her hair . She didn’t look at him in the eye but avert her gaze on the ground.
“you came alone?”
“yes --- I was in the bar and the cigarette smoke cause my eye to be watery”
“that explain the awful makeup you got on” he chuckle .
“a…and I had one to many drink”
“and that’s why you puke on the street?”
“y…yes”
He narrow his eye and cross examine her . It could be true ? He was probably jumping to conclusion and came up with false speculation because of his discrimination against woman like her , “you telling the truth?” he asked , still doubting the girl .
“yes , with 7 million dollar why would I bother with the old life style ? I came out to celebrate but got carry away” she force a fake smile . Ok, I told him ¼ of the truth. And lie to myself ¾ of the time. *Sigh* there no way out of it . I need his money --- again!
“you’re always seen to surprise me , you know that ? A few days ago you came to my casino like a foxy mama and tonight you look as if someone chew you up and spit you out. Try not to party to hard ok ? I know 7 million is a lot to your kind” he chuckle
She didn’t like his hurtful amusement and it obvious how lowly he thought of her. The man is a total jerk and inconsiderate . If it wasn’t for his money she wouldn’t even force herself to be polite. He still have some usage to her but right now she look awful and probable a turn off . She have to come up with another plan to win some money from him --- but how ? With another fake smile she said, “how about another game of strip poker ?”
“The first time I let you slide but it not going happen again . I already got what I wanted. You still remember that long ride right?” he grinned
She felt her heart jump at the reminder of what happen in the VIP room. He is heartless to brought it up ! It might be pleasurable to him but it was painful for her . The moment he thrust into her , the barrier break was like a sharp stab jerking her body apart. The image was making her furious . He wasn’t at all gentle and she remember the awful taste of his brandy in her mouth .
“Hey! Can you response to me once in awhile ? Hey!” he wave his hand across her face. Without a words she left him and march toward her car. What was I thinking?! I’m not sleeping with that bastard again! There have to be another way to earn fast money! She heard him yelling but she refuse to turn around . She got in her car and slam the door . She look over to the passenger seat and grab the newspaper . “The biggest event of the year. Jame Atichart vs. Miss. Shampoo …” she smile as new idea came to mind
