Drove my S300 into B1 of the hotel and saw a shiny dark blue S500 parked. I stop the engine and hop into the S500.

Me: Thank you, anything else?
G: Oh yes, I am going for a ten minute smoke break , would you mind accompanying me?”
Me: No problem, I see you outside the smoking area in ten.
G: Thank you Mr Charles.
I went to the toilet and lock myself in the cubical. I open up the envelope and saw meal coupons with date stamped on it. And inside the envelope there is S$500 dollars. No notes to explain anything. I put the meal coupons into my wallet and placed the money in my front pocket.
Went out to the smoking area, to meet with Mr George
G: Hi there, do you smoke?
Me: No I don’t.
G: Sorry . to put you through this 2nd hand smoke thingy.
Me: Is alright. You have something you want to tell me.

We work very closely together. Madam V is a very important clientele of ours. We cannot afford to have any hiccups during her stay at our prestigious hotel. Do you get what I am trying to tell you , Charles ?

G: Why sure, here you go.
Me: Thank you , this is my company name card. My contact details are all there. And this is a small token for your all hardwork.
I gave him a handshake and slip a 50 dollar note into his palm.
G: If you have any problems here in this hotel, call me I will try my best to assist you.
Me: Sure thing Mr George. By the way what are these meal coupons for ?
G: Oh , I can see that Madam V has taken consideration for your meals too. These are meal coupons for you to have your meals at the restaurant. Please order anything you want. You can help yourself to the buffet or anything off the menu.
Me: Thanks, I got to run….
G: See you !
Is 1pm and there is no sign of Ms V
Ting ting the sms came in. Is Ms V . “Hi I hope you got a good rest, there is a delay in my conference meeting today. I will see you at 5pm instead we will be heading to MBS.
“
I read the msg over and over again. WE ??? Smiley face ? This is so not her.
Damn is only 1pm what should I do ? I don’t want to stay around this hotel. I walk towards the car and started up the S500. Whoah engine sound is also different ! Drove the car out of the hotel drive way . I drove straight into great world city. Craving for some chicken. I went to Kenny rogers to have my lunch.
Finished my lunch and is only 130pm. Still very early I decided to head to Cold Storage for my shopping. Pull out a push cart and went to grab some “branded” mineral water, more packet dry tissue, more wet tissue , a packet of ice, some mint sweets, a box mini Hagandas cup ice cream Head straight for the checkout counter. At the check out counter, I saw something that caught my attention. Without hesitation, I took two different boxes of “rain coat”
Cashier: 80.99 sir
Me: Nets, as I hand over the my ATM card to her
Load up the car and headed back straight home. Parked the car and place a one dollar coupon . Took out my LIMO “suitcase” from the trunk and head up to my flat. Passed by a HOT minah chick and she greeted me
S : Abang ! So early today ? Whoah you change car again !
Me: Hey Siti looking great today ! Going for a date ? No lah later got to work, just doing some shopping before I head out again. This is company car. You know I am just a driver what, still want to tease me.
S: You don’t look like one lah… all the drivers so uncle type. You look so different, you got style lah brether ! By the way can drop me off a not Abang ! This hour very hard to get taxi and is so hot!
Me: Don’t say that, next time I will get old, then you call me uncle and break my heart! I need an hour leh, you can wait ?
S: I will wait. Thank you Abang ! Can I come up and wait in your flat. I don’t want to go back home wait my son see me will cry again when I head out.
Me: ok.
Siti is a hot mama, 23 years of age and has a two year old son. He husband is in prison. And she has a wheel chair bound mother at home. Her dad is the home maker. And siti has to work to support the family. Life is tough for her. I know she works as a KTV hostess as I often see her at 3am plus when I park my car after my work.
Me: Make yourself at home, you want a beer? I only got Guinness Draft.
S: Ok can.
I place my cold storage bags on the table and went to my store to take my ice box out. Wash the ice box clean and let it to air.
Me: Hey siti I going to take shower first. You help yourself … on the tv or radio if you want to.
S: sure.
I went straight to shower. Suddenly I hear my stereo at full blast with power 98 music ! WTH I say…she really makes herself at home. I soap up and wash myself. I came out with my towel wrap my waist. She is dancing like a crazy woman with the can of beer in her hand. I tip top to the room to have a change of clothes thinking she will not spot me.
S: Wahhh….. macham like male striper lah.
Me: sorry I forgot my clothes . usually I am home alone. Old habits die hard.
S: Come here . she push down on the sofa. Where is your hair dryer, let me help dry your hair.
Me: Don’t have lah, single man used hair dryer ….so “GOO NIAH”
Siti gave a pull at towel at my waist.
Me: Hey what are you doing!
S: relax I just want to use the towel to dry your hair.
Me: But…
S: Don’t be so “GOO NIAH” she giggled.
Siti open her legs and sat on me cow girl position. She gave a pull and the towel came loose. She used her tight demin shorts to cover my area. And started to use the towel to dry my hair. Like a small boy I lower my head a little to let her do her thing. While doing so I was starting right into her @@ . She was wearing a tank top with a strapless bra. Her boos are moving all over . And I feeling the heat of her shorts and my tool started to “grow”
Me: I think that will do.
S: Someone is getting notti…
ME: Yah lah.. you are sitting on me and you moving so hard. Sure got reaction.
S: Don’t pretend lah… I saw your “protection” in the cold storage bag.
Me:
S: You need me to “help” you.. she say that as she place her face side to side with my and whisper to my ear.
Me: You mistaken Siti. I never treat you like those “type” of gals.
Siti sat up straight and stare hard into my eyes. Shit what did I do ? Her eyes started to water up and tear start to drip.
S: Abang…. she cry real loud… I know you are good to me and my family.
Every now and then you will slot in ANG BAO into my letter box for my son. During Hari Raya without failed you will sent us a Hamper and give my son a big ang pao. You never leave your name but I know is you ! only you are good to us. The whole bloody estate looks down on me and my family. Only …sobs sobs… u…. sobs sobs … care…. Her sobs became louder and her body shaking violently.
I used my hand to wipe off the tears.
Me: Shhhh…don cry…. Your make up is all ruin already. Later I got to use my color pencil to draw the mascara for you.
S: hahaha…. She giggle.
I tap on her legs. And she move over and sat on my left side. I tighten my towel on my waist and reached out for my wallet. I took out 100 dollars pass it to her
Me: Something small to help out your family grocery shopping.
S: No I cant take it.
Me: Pls, my client gave me a good tip. And I just want to share some with
you. Is a small token.
S: Thank you abang….she took my right hand kiss it and say something in malay. Which I don’t understand. I guess it must be some sort of blessing in return for my good deeds ???
Looking at my time … Is 0400pm and I am running late.
Me: Hey Siti .. we got to go. Car park coupon ending.
As a limo driver we cant afford to get summon. If it reaches the company, our boss will know what be up to during the set time and day.
Me: Siti help me with the ice box, fill it half with ice . throw the ice cream and condoms inside. The rest just put in one bag .
S: Ok Abang.
I rush in to the room to get dress. I put on a grey pants and put on a white short sleeve shirt. Tuck out. Smart casual look since got to head to MBS. Come out , grab the stuff and rush out of the flat.
I drop off Siti at Neil road near the row of shophoues. That place used to be very popular with HOT Minah hostess. Time check 0415pm. Check my handphone and there is a incoming sms
“I will late, meet at the driveway at 6pm instead.
It was Mdm V.
I didn’t have appetite for a early dinner so I decide to pop by at Harrys Bar at Dempsey. It was happy hour when I arrived.
Johnny : Hello brother how are you?
Me: I am good Johnny . I am here to pay for the bill. I remember my boss didn’t settle the tab that night.
Johnny: You sure? She usually will settle with me personally.
Me: She is very busy with her conference. Don worry I will claim from her before she departs from singpaore
Johnny: Anything you say Boss.
Me: Hey Johnny get me a Guinness Draft will you. I flash out a fifty dollar bill to pass to him.
Johnny: Keep it . this one is on me!
Me: You got it wrong. This is a tip for you. For your help that night.
Johnny :thank you. That is very nice of you.
Me: Is ok brother. I am very sure my boss will give you a tip too.
I didn’t talk much to Johnny after that he was busy setting up the place. Looks like he is short of staff for the day.
Arrived back at the driveway of the hotel at 545pm. Standby for Mdm V. She arrived at 55pm and hope on the back seat.
Me: Good evening Madam.
Lady V: Good evening , did you boss scold you ?
Me: No, this is the upgraded car you have request for Madam.
Lady V; Nice. Lets go.
Driving the car out of the driveway, Lady V sprung up in the car suddenly.
Lady V: Who else was in the car ? There is a woman’s perfume scent in the car.
Oh no . I forgot to check on this. Woman are very sensitive to all this. I was careless not to “inspect’ the car .
Me: I went back home to rest. I bum into my neighbor and she wanted a lift so I just drop her off before heading back here.
Lady V: Did you consume alcohol ? I smell something from your breadth.
Me: Yes I had a glass of stout.
Lady V: You get this straight ! This car is two person only . Is for me to seat at the back seat and for you to drive. NO ONE ELSE. You get it. If you are caught by me again, I will have you replaced. Understood!
Me: Yes Madam , Sorry, it will not happen again.
Lady V: Good, MBS lets go I need to unwind. It was a long day of meeting for me
She requested to be stop at the CASINO side.
Lady V: Parked the car and come back here.
I hurry and sped down the slope to the basement carpark. Knowing is hard to find a lot in MBS during peak hours. I enter the barrier when a black S class in front sounded his horn.
Charles.. the driver shouted.
Oh is a fellow LIMO driver I ever worked together before. “take my lot I am going off” I gave him the thumbs up to thank him for his kind gesture. Hah…this maybe my luck day after all.
I double my footsteps to fasten my pace. Lets go… Lady V spoke. I just follow he behind her.
We reached the entrance of the casino. “Come we are going in” she said.
Me: I dont gamble so i just wait for you here.
Lady V: Don’t be such a SQUARE ! She produce her passport and a document .
Security officer: Sir I need to double check with this document. Can I see you NRIC for verification.
Me: Sure…
What the hell … she had my personal particaulars and she already paid the levy fee in advance !
Security officer: Alright Sir and Madam. Thank you. You may enter.
Lady V: Who else was in the car ? There is a woman’s perfume scent in the car.

She went straight to the blackjacks tables . and started to try her luck. On her first virgin hand she got two aces. Bingo Blackjack straight. She pulled my hand and say
Lady V: You are my lucky boy !
Oh no … I say to myself. Looks like is going to be a long night for me. Since I am not playing I just stand beside her. I never like to gamble anymore, I was a gambler once and it nearly destroy me . My ex girlfriend walk of me after she got fed up clearing my debts. She left me for a Pilot who is willing to take good care of her. The last I heard of her she became a Air stewardess, later become a tai tai after she got married to that Pilot.
Two hours have passed by. My stomach began to growl. Lady V turn around and look at me. I did not say anything.
Lady V: Lets go I am getting hungry too….Go get the car ready.. As she round up her winnings.
Me: Yes Madam.
Pull the car over and she hop in straight.
Lady V: I want to eat seafood, please bring me to one.
Me: Can I make a phone call first to confirm a seating, Madam
Lady V: Go ahead.
Me: hello Choo S Punngol seafood restaurant… this is Charles. Is MR xxx or Ms yyy working today.
Other line: Yes Mr xxx is working.

On the other line: Sure, see you soon.
Me: Bye
Me: Madam , place is confirm. Can we make our way there?
Lady V: Go ahead. By the way this is for you….she placed it gently on the centre arm rest.
It was a MBS sealed envelope with my name CHARLES written on it. I didn’t give much thg to it as I was driving.
I just passed by the Commando Camp and soon after that I made a right turn into Netheravon Road.
Lady V: Where are you taking me ? This area looks so off beat.
Me: We will be arriving in ten seconds; you will definitely enjoy this place.
The car was about to reach the stairway outside the restaurant, I flashed the Highbeam to get the attention of Mr xxx who was already standing by there to welcome the VIP.
Xxx: welcome to Choon S restaurant … he bow slightly as he opens the rear door
Lady V: Thank you Mr xxx. “Charles parked the car and come and dine together.”
Me: Yes Madam,
We given a square table at a private corner of the restaurant. There was a partition to separate us from the crowd. I sat down directly facing her.
XXX: I have personally see through the selection of the food and took the liberty to order on your behalf. If you have no objection I can get the cook to start serving the dishes.
Lady V: Go ahead. Pls bring me a bottle of your white wine to go along with the seafood.
Xxx: Yes Mdm.
The table was filled with food. Mr xxx never failed me. There was butter crab, steam catfish, fresh steam prawns, oysters .
Lady V: Please go ahead , as she lift up her fork but don’t where to place it at which dish to kick start.
I noticed she seem overwhelmed .
Me: If you don’t mind Mdm , can I offer my assistance ?
Lady V: please.. she placed her fork down.
I stood up and change my seat to her right side instead. I called for Mr xx to take e crab back to the kitchen to have it “deshell” . And started to work the dishes , cutting it to smaller bite size and place it on her plate.
Me: There you go Madam , you should be fine now.
Lady V: DID YOU WASH YOUR HANDS !
Me: Yes I did, I went to wash it before stepping into the restaurant.
She smiled.
Me : Lets start, the food is getting cold.
