We called a cab and made our way back. I have not thought about what plans we could do. We have 3 weeks to convince Mel’s father. Actually, even if we did not managed to convince him, I thought about what could happen to Mel. At most bankruptcy. Well, she would lose the condo, make repayments sums monthly, and look for a job in another industry.
I turn and looked at the woman sitting besides me. With her character, bankruptcy would be too much of a blow to her. She would definitely not be able to handle it. If that happened, perhaps she would just wilted off and slouch in her own depression, not able to recover from the mess.
Bankruptcy is not an option.
There is another possibility. What if she acknowledge her father and let him into the plot? I considered for a moment and knew that would not be possible as well. If he was looking for her, he would have found her by now.
Another possibility ruled out.
It looked like the first option that I concluded was the only option.
I was sitting in the cab, looking at her, but actually seeing past her, into these thoughts of mine. Maybe she caught my reflection in the window, and she suddenly turned and touched my forearm, bringing me back to reality.
Mel: sam….. thanks…… for everything….
Me: errrm…. it’s nothing……
Mel: Sorry for treating you like dirt for so many years….
Me: nah…… we didn’t even see each other when I was on night shift…. haha…
Mel: anyway, thanks….
I spotted her eyes watering and she quickly turned away, facing back to the road. Her hands left mine, but the warmth lingered behind on my skin.
We dropped off at the office and got her car back home.
By the time we reached home, it was already in the evening. Aunt was surprised to see us.
Aunt: both of you are so early today?
We just both nodded and Mel said that she will be working from home with me for the next 3 weeks as we needed to work on a project.
Aunt: Good to see that you both are finally getting along fine.
After dinner, we helped aunt to clean up the dishes and she settled down in front of the TV.
Once done, I proceed to retreat back to my room for the evening to recollect the events for the day. However, Mel started to follow me into my room.
Mel: mum, we are going to Sam’s room for some work.
Aunt: mmm…
She did not even turn around, as Mel pushed me into the room and closed the door. we spoke softly so as not to let Aunt hear our conversation.
Me: what is it?!
Mel: I want to discuss.
Me: Discuss what?
Mel: your plan.
Me: I don’t have one.
Mel: fuck. I thought you had.
I rolled my eyes at her.
Me: do you think I am a genius?
Mel: then why you gave me this option?
Me: because there is no other option.
Mel: oh…..
She looked dejected and started to turn back to the door. I quickly thought of something.
Me: ok…. ok…. wait….
Mel : yah?
She turned back enthusiastically.
Mel: you have a plan now?
Me: no….
Mel: then?!
Me: well, I think we need to do some research on him first, right?
Mel: mmm…. I already know all about him.
Me: well, I don’t….
Mel: I can share with you…..
Me: no…..
Mel: why?
This time, I rolled my eyes.
Me: what you read of him previously were mostly for your own knowledge. So it’s only base on what you want to see or know about him. What we need now is an indepth research on him, his family, his company. Get it?
She nodded.
Mel: ok, I go bring in my notebook.
With that, she disappear out of my room. I switched on the fan and started my notebook as well. As I only have 1 chair in the room, I put the notebook on the bed and sat on the floor so that we can share details when we search.
She came back shortly with her notebook, closed the door and sat down on the floor besides me.
Mel: what do we need to search for?
Me: what’s his name?
Mel: Dex.
Me: ok. search his name and read through all articles that you can find.
She nodded and we each started searching on our notebooks for details. There were tons of information on this guy.
From the initial searches, I found out that he is 57 and a multi-millionaire. He owns lot’s of properties and have various businesses. The company that Igor is interested in, is just of one them. Although it was not making money, but he is still holding onto the shares.
We continued our researched and my room is starting to get stuffy and hot. Mine was a corridor room and even thought I had opened up the windows louvres, but there was no breeze that night and the humidity sets in. Even with the fan, we were perspiring.
Just then, Aunt knocked on my door and Mel opened it.
Aunt: I am going to sleep now. Don’t stay up too late.
With that, aunt made her way to her room and Mel followed as well, without closing the door. Her notebook remained opened by the bed. I guessed she was just putting aunt to bed.
I continued to read on every article that I could find on Dex, but there was nothing much of use that I could find.
My phone vibrated and there was a message.
MIB msg: Hi Sam, Mr Igor asked me to let me know that you could look for me if you needed help.
Me msg: how did you get my number?
MIB msg: I have my ways. Anyway, you can reach me at this number.
I did not reply to the last message. How did he get my number. I did not remember passing my number to him.
MIB msg: I have send you some additional information to your email. It will be useful to you.
This seemed even more strange to me. Perhaps he could look through a telco to find my mobile number, but email addresses are normally non-disclosed. They are more resourceful that I thought they were.
I quickly opened up my email and looked at the information that MIB had sent across. I was surprised but I need to think about it before coming up with a plan.
When I was done, Mel was not back. I closed my notebook, took hers and left it on the table before messaging her that we will call it a day. She agreed.
As I lay down in bed thinking about the new information, I realized that it would save us a lot of time to look for it. Definitely it would be useful to me, but how.
I fell asleep thinking about the plan
Tuesday
I woke up a little late, suddenly jumping out of bed as I was late for work. I picked up and looked at my phone, 10am. But before I started preparing, I saw that there was a message that came in early this morning.
MIB msg: Mr Igor had spoken to Ricky and you had be given paid leave for 3 weeks.
I put my phone down after I realized that there was no hurry.
Lying back into bed, I thought of my plan and dropped MIB a message.
Me msg: I need to know the schedule of Dex.
MIB msg: Will do. I’ll send it to you soon.
Me msg: I need some cash.
MIB msg: considered it done.
I got up and went to wash up. Apparently, there was no one home. I quickly went into their room and browse through Aunt’s old photos. There were not a lot. But I had a pretty good idea.
I was in the living room with my task completed when Mel came back with Aunt, probably from the market with breakfast. After breakfast, Mel told aunt that she will be in my room to work on the project again.
Once she closed the door, she asked me softly.
Mel: how? Any ideas?
I told her that Ricky had given me a 3 weeks leave.
Mel: what?! Then what is going to happen to our department?
I shrugged my shoulders.
Mel: This is terrible!
She picked up her phone to call. but I placed my hand on the screen.
Me: don’t worry too much. I am sure Igor will take care of it.
Mel: really? you sure?
Me: yup.
She did not seemed too convince.
Me: you asked me about my plan, right?
Mel: oh yes!
Me: ok. The plan is like this.
The first step of my plan is very simple. She was to get close to Dex, but definitely she cannot acknowledge him.
Mel: what? That’s all?
Me: yes. I’ll tell you more as we progress.
She raised an eyebrow.
Me: do you trust me?
She just nodded.
Just then, a message came in to my phone. It was Dex’s schedule.
Me: We are going out.
Mel: where?
Me: Your very first meeting with Dex.
I gave her instructions on the exact items to wear.
Mel: how did you know I had these items?!
She raised her eyebrows.
Me: I am sure you did not notice, but I did the laundry for you as well.
Mel: oh….. mmm….. pervert! haha…..
She went to her room to change. I did so as well.
When she came out, I was already waiting for her in the living room. She looked fantastic and I looked her up and down.
Mel: pervert!
She stuck her tongue out at me.
Me: haha…. very nice….. this will do…..
The short pastel circle skirt was flare and short. In fact it was 3 quarters up her thighs. which showed off a lot of her slender legs. With her top, was just a pinkish loose little singlet. As for her shoes, I just got her to wear her sports shoes.
She looked everything like the 25 years she was.
We made our way into her car and I could not stop staring at her legs as she got into the driver seat. Her skirt raked up quite a bit and she dropped her handbag in between her legs to prevent exposing to me.
For a second, I wondered what she was wearing underneath that skirt and as I started to imagine, she woke me up with a slap to my arm.
Mel: stop staring! and you said you were not a pervert!
She was frowning.
Me: no…. errmm…. your legs….. errrm…..
Mel: what?! my shorts are shorter than this at home!
Me: errrm….. yes…. but….
Mel: it’s not like you did not see my legs before!
Me: yah…. but…. you know…..
Mel: what?!
Me: I mean…. errm…. wearing shorts and skirts are different….. even though….
Mel: ok…. ok…. enough! or I’ll dig out your eyes…..
She slapped me on my arms again as she rolled her eyes.
Mel: where are we going?
Me: Marina Bay golf course.
Mel: har?! I cant play golf…..
Me: Neither can I….. But Dex is there now.
Mel: how did you know he is there?
I told her about MIB.
Mel: oh….. how did he get your number?
As we discussed on the possibilities, she started driving.
Once we got nearer to the place, I reminded her to be natural when she meet up with Dex. She is not to show any signs that she knows who he is.
Bros,
be forewarned!
The remaining parts of the story is going to be much darker than my other stories.
It will be
bordering
on some taboos topics. So if you cannot take the read, please DO NOT PROCEED FURTHER.
But whatever happens, it is essential to the plot.
Part 4
-—————————————————–
Mel parked the car and we walked towards the main entrance. The twins were already there waiting for us with a set of golf clubs, or rather just 3 5-irons. They were wearing tight singlet with shorts, which accentuated their curves. Mel was a little surprised to see them and she glare at me.
I quickly led them away from the main counter and explained to all of them. Mel was from Singapore but her parents migrated to US. I was her bodyguard. The twins were her friends from the University and they were here for a holiday as well.
Once they all understood their role, we got our practice bay and made our way to the fourth level. As it was a weekday, there was almost no one on the level, except for Dex and the guy with him. I already knew that his name was Mike, Dex’s godson. There were some one other guy but he was at the other end of the level.
As we took our place at the bay besides Dex, the twins spoke in their Taiwanese mandarin, and it caused Dex and Mike to look at our group I saw Mike raised his eyebrows at the twins for a moment before he caught his composure back. Dex looked at them, and then at me before giving me a brief nod and went back to his game.
I stood there and watched Mel. She took a brief glance at Dex and looked out at the green. I wondered what she was thinking at that point in time. Fortunately she played it cool and did not showed her mixed emotions.
Gin went first. As we were to the right of Dex’s bay, the girls behind would be facing him when they drive the ball. As Gin bend forward and arc backwards, pushing out her butt at the guys. Dex took a slight glance at the wholesome butt in front of him before putting in a 100 yarder.
Gin passed her turn and then Tonic and finally Mel. The twins seemed to have some knowledge in the game and managed to put their balls out to the range. Mel did not, but she gamely went forward.
Mike was on the ball then and was staring at her tiny skirt that was barely covering her butt. Just then, as I expected, the wind caught her skirt and lifted it a little, exposing the blue G String that she was wearing, and showing her butt cheeks to the guys standing behind her before letting it drop again. Mel did not seemed to notice as she was concentrating on her hands and legs placement.
I noticed that Mike and Dex were both looking at the sight in front of them, before they looked at each other. Mike stood up and looked at Mel.
Still unaware, she continued to practice her swing when the wind again caught her skirt and lifted it up once more, exposing her. This time, she realized that, and quickly put her hand behind her. She turn and gave me a death stare.
Dex: Miss….. your posture is wrong…..
Mel: excuse me?
Dex looked a me once, before walking towards Mel.
Dex: hi my name is Dex.
Mel: what do you want?
Mike walked over and stood besides Dex. Behind them were the twins and myself who were outside the practise bay.
Dex: i see that you are having difficulties. Perhaps i can give you some pointers?
Mel looked over at me and i nodded. Dex turn around and face me but continued to speak to her.
Dex: i am sure your boyfriend would not mind, right?
Mel: he is my security person.
I saw Dex raised his eyebrow as he turn back to her.
Dex: can i know whose whose princess are you? Perhaps i would know your dad.
Mel: my family lives in the US. I am back for vacation. Anyway he is not anyone important. You wont know him.
Dex: i see.
She gestured to the twins, trying to share a little more information.
Mel: they are my friends from college.
Dex: hi ladies, its not often i get to see such a pair of beautiful twins.
Mike chuckled at his pun. As both twins were sitting down, their cleavage were expose to whoever is standing in front of them. Dex glared at Mike.
Mike: ahem… hi… i am Mike…
Mel: i am Mel and they are Gin & Tonic.
Mike: gin & tonic. Is that their real names?
Dex put a stop to Mike’s nonsense.
Dex: dont be rude.
He turn back to Mel and started standing in front of her to explain her stance. Never did once he attempted to touch her. Mike went over and spoke to the twins and i stood there in silence, watching all of them.
Mel was a good actress and was natural in it. With Dex’s instruction, she managed to drive the ball onto the green.
Mel: yippee! I did it! Thanks.
Dex: any time.
He took out a business card.
Dex: this is my card. If you need anything you can call me.
Mel took it without looking and put it into her bag.
Mel: apart from golf, i dont think i need anything. Thanks.
Dex was cool about it. He looked at mike.
Dex: time to go.
Mike went pack their bags and just before they walk off, Dex said something to Mel.
Dex: i am not trying to be corny, but you really look familar. But i dont think we have met up before. Anyway, you have my card.
Mel: nope. But thanks.
With that, they went down the stairs leaving the girls looking at me on what the next step will be.
Once they disappeared in the abyss of the stairs, I felt Mel staring at me.
Mel: you purposely got me to wear this right? You knew that will happen.
Me: nope. I did not. I just made a guess guess. And fortunately a good one.
She kept quiet and hit a ball onto the green.
Tonic: You caught their attention, didn’t you.
Mel: So?
Tonic: that was the main purpose right?
Gin looked at me.
Gin: sam, what’s the plan now.
Me: continue to practice. And we will wait for 2 days.
Mel: 2 days?! We have only 3 weeks!
I stretched myself lazily.
Me: 3 weeks is more than enough time.
Gin: Have you got everything planned out?
Me: no….. not really…. but the main pieces are there….
Tonic was excited and she held onto my arm, her breasts pushing against my arm.
Tonic: tell us….tell us…
Mel looked on distastefully and rolled her eyes. I pulled my arm away from Tonic.
Me: the time is not ripe…. you will know in due time….
TOnic looked disappointed.
Tonic: so, what’s for today?
Me: I don’t have plan anymore…. the rest of the day you are free….
Gin: shall we go Sentosa?
Me: what for?
Gin: I told you that I had not been there….
I raised my eyebrows.
Me: Is that the truth?!
She nodded and looked at me shyly.
Me: anyway, I heard you have a boyfriend?
She giggled.
Gin: yes…. you…..
Me: No…. I mean….
I looked at Mel. She waited for Gin’s answer.
Me: Mel said she saw you holding hands with someone.
Gin: haha…. yup…. that was a show on purpose. Planned by Igor…..
I looked at Mel, who had crossed her hands across her chest and was frowning.
Me: ok, you girls finish up here and we can decide where to go later.
The girls finished the game and as we packed, Mel turned to Gin and asked her a question.
Mel: So who was the guy?
Gin: just someone working for Mr Igor.
Before Mel could probe further, Tonic got into the conversation, disrupting Mel’s train of thoughts.
Tonic: So, sam, Sentosa?
I mean who could resist going to the beach with 3 beautiful girls and I nodded.
Mel: no! I am not going.
Tonic: why?
Mel: because I do not have my swim wear with me.
Tonic: just buy another there.
They continued to debate as we walked down the stairs. Just when we arrived at the lobby, suddenly someone called out to us, surprisingly all of us.
Mike: Ms Mel….. Ms Mel….
She turned to face the voice.
Mike: Dex would like to invite you ladies for coffee up there.
Tonic: but we are going off somewhere now…. Don’t think so….
I was not prepared for this. I thought they would have left the vicinity and I was glad that Tonic rejected him.
Mel: We can go tomorrow. Mike, sure…..
She pulled a fast one on me. This was totally unprepared, I quickly stepped in.
Me: Missus, this will disrupt your other activities for the day.
Mel: Just cancel them and I am tired.
She did not catch my hint, but when Mike was speaking to Gin about something, Mel wrinkled her nose and gave me a look to signify that this was a good chance for her to get close to Dex.
I wanted to stop her, but Mike had started to lead the way and Mel followed besides him. Gin slowed down besides me and spoke softly.
Gin: how?
Me: I don’t know. We have to just play by ear.
Mike led us up to the open air café and Dex was sitting there waiting. Obviously he was watching the stairs and could see when we appeared. I guessed that was when he asked Mike to intercept us.
-———————————-
Dex does not look his age. He was a handsome man and with his neatly combed black hair, he looked as if he was in his mid-forties. As for Mike, I already know that he was closer to 30, but looking at his belly, he definitely look much older than that.
From the information that MIB had sent me, I knew that Mike was the grandson of Dex’s mum’s previous servant. That was when in the old days, when the local poor folks would worked as servants or “Ah jie” in the household of the rich.
Because Mike’s grandma was a loyal servant, and Dex’s mum like the boy quite a bit, he became Dex’s godson, the unbirth son that the family had always craved for.
-—————————-
Mike showed Mel to the seat besides Dex, while he took the other side. Tonic sat besides Mike, and Gin was between Tonic and Mel. I stood behind Mel, like what a security person does. I know enough about the stance and posture to look my part from my old job.
The 2 guys obviously had taken their shower. But the girls were still sweaty from their exertions.
As Mel sat, her skirt moved up along her thighs, showing more skin, just like when she was in the car earlier. However, with both legs planted on the floor, she did no put her bag in between her legs but besides them. The table was low, knee level, more like a coffee table kind, and offered her no protection from Mike as he was seated about a 20 degree angle straight from her. I watched Mike as his eyes moved to the area where her skirt meets her thighs. I was sure he was getting a good upskirt view of her undies. Even with Tonic sitting besides him, he was not paying attention to her.
I turned away my focus and try to hear what Dex was talking about. He was generally asking her how long she was away, and telling her about the changes in Singapore over the years. Just some small talks and nothing of much importance.
With me standing behind Mel, I could not see her expressions, but she crossed and uncrossed her legs to maintain Mike’s attention on it. Dex was unaware as by now, he was speaking to all 3 girls, not only Mel alone.
After about 10mins, she excused herself and I followed her. The toilet was in a small corridor out of the vision from the group. Before she went in, she asked me to call MIB and get us 4 a hotel. Once she was in the ladies, I waited outside and duly followed her instructions.
Not long, she came out and shoved something into my hand. I looked at the piece of fabric. It was her G String.
Before she walked out the corridor, I quickly grabbed her hand.
Me: hey…. what’s this for?
Mel: Keep it for me. I need to bait Mike.
Me: this was not the plan.
Mel: Well I am now resetting the plan.
Me: wait…. no… I am not agreeing to this.
Mel: Sorry Sam, it’s my fight. You just be around and protect me…. thanks
She leaned forward, gave me a peck on my cheeks, brushed my hand off and walked out into the open before I could speak again. Left without any choice, I quickly stuff the item into my pocket and followed her.
