I separated the bills into stacks of 9k each as instructed by Ryan.
Even after I was done, there’s still quite a bit of money left on the bed.
The whole time I was doing it, Ryan was talking to me. It was just casual surface chat, nothing much to it really.
I kept stealing glances at Ryan’s naked body as she went about her chores. She would ask me a question, dry her hair, give me a reply, check out her face in the mirror, then ask me another question before applying some moisturiser to herself.
Jim : All done… do I put them in the wallets ??
Ryan : hold on…
I watched Ryan slipped on a grey strapless bra with some kind of shimmer to it before throwing on a casual v neck top in white. It’s not a transparent top although the fabric looked pretty thin and flowly.
I didn’t see her putting on her underwear but I saw her leg peek out from the sides of the cupboard door as she slipped on her denim jeans.
With her hair still wrapped in her towel, Ryan came over and helped me with the money. I was tempted to ask her about why she needed us to help move them but I remembered what Soh said.
Just do what we are supposed to do and don’t ask so many questions.
After Ryan got dressed, she came over and checked out my handiwork.
It’s not exactly rocket science, count out 90 pieces and put 1 stack and repeat.
Then Ryan did something which made me feel a little insulted.
She retrieved a bill counter, you know, those notes counting machine you get at the money changer, yeah that.
Then she put each stack in the machine just to confirm there’s 90 in each stack. That was not all, she gathered up the remaining cash on the bed and counted them as well.
Yeah I know, I’m a stranger after all and this is the first time we’re meeting, still, it did not feel good that someone is questioning your honesty in front of you.
She is not wrong, but it just didn’t feel good. Like that might as well don’t ask me to do it right ?
I kept quiet and did not say a thing as Ryan went through the bills before nodding her head.
Ryan : good….. thank you Jim…
I smiled but did not say anything.
Ryan : how much do you make a month Jim ?
Jim : Huh ? … errr….
Ryan : just curious….
Jim: 3500….
Ryan : ok….
Without hesitating, Ryan gave me 20 of those 100 USD bill, asking if I could do her a favour and make some extra cash.
Jim : Ermm…. What do you need ?
Ryan : small private request…. Aside from the main contract….
I looked at Ryan as she turned her head sideways looking at me from the corner of her eye with a raised eyebrow.
Ryan : I’m not going to eat you Jim… hahaha….. yes or no ? ….
I nodded my head.
Jim : Ok… sure…. Nothing illegal right ??
Ryan : No…of course not… haha… just come over to my hotel room tonight….. 10pm… and keep this to yourself…. Give me your number….
She smiled at me as I tried to contain my excitement.
“hoe seh liao la ! “
“ huat ah !! “
Expressions like this popped up in my head like bubbles appearing in some anime cartoon.
My luck definitely seemed to be improving after meeting up with the guys.
First Denise, now this hot babe that claims she’s not interested in men.
What do you think can happen when a girl ask you to her hotel room at night ?
Come on la.
Common sense. Ahahha…
I could not help smiling at my luck as I helped packed the money in the wallet.
Maybe she’s curious about men after having women for a while or something. Anyway, I’m looking forward to finding out.
Perhaps what they say is true. When you had a good orgasm recently, it shows on your face. It gives off good vibes and attract other females or something.
Just as i finished up the wallets, my phone rang. It was Soh.
Soh : Jim … what’s happening ? why so long ??
Jim : We’re done… coming down in 5…
I gathered up the wallets and told Ryan that I’m ready.
Ryan told me she’s almost done.
Ryan : You want a drink Jim ? coffee ? …
Jim : Err… no need… thank you…. you need help with your luggage ?
Ryan : Yeah sure…
She pulled out a 17 inch trolley case and I helped her bring it out to the door together with the wallets that I was carrying.
I waited for another 2 minutes before she came out, all smiley and radiant as she grabbed her shades, put them on and gave me a nod towards the exit.
She looked pretty cool I have to admit.
A black backpack went on her back and we’re good to go.
I entered the lift first and took the back spot, leaving Ryan the spot in front.
When she has her back towards me after the door closed, I could not resist looking at her figure. The soft material of her top just followed the curves of her body, and the hip hugging jeans disappeared into a pair of dark tanned coloured boots.
With her shades on, Ryan looked like some Korean celebrity while I’m just the assistant pulling her bags.
Ryan : Remember our secret Jim…. I’ll see you tonight yah…
Jim : No problem…
Soh came over when he saw me coming out of the lift.
He walked right pass Ryan and asked;
Soh : Where is Ryan ??
I shifted my eyes towards the hot girl with her arms folded behind Soh.
Soh : huh ? … Ryan ?? I thought you are a guy…..
Riona : Haha….. everyone thinks I’m a guy……My name is Riona…..surname is Yan….. the Ryan came from my email …..R…. Y A N ….. haha… but’s it’s ok…. You can call me Ryan if you like…
Soh : errrr …. Riona ….. sorry for the mixup…. Come… let’s go… the car is waiting…
Riona walked on ahead with Soh by her side.
Rizwan came over to me and jabbed my on my arm.
Rizwan : Knn brother… you take so long upstairs…. Ryan…. Sorry I meant Riona …. Kns ….chio bu la….. got happening or not…?? Hahaha
Jim : Happening your head la… I only help to pack some stuff….
Rizwan : She’s hot man….got that classy chic urbanite girl feeling…..i’ll go introduce myself later…
Jim : Save it… she’s not into men…
Tommy : What ? … I heard that… really ? she told you ??
Jim : Haiyah !…. you don’t believe you go and ask her la… she lesbian la I think….
Mohan and the rest were too surprised seeing a hot babe following Soh to the carpark.
Riona rode upfront with Soh while I was in the last vehicle.
Her luggage and money remained with me.
Upon reaching the airport, we parked the vehicles and distributed the wallets.
Riona shook everyone’s hands and there was no hiding the wide smile everyone had on their faces.
Riona : Please take care of me ah….. I look forward to working with you guys….
I could see the sighs and the sudden slouch of everyone’s shoulders as they smiled a silly smile at Riona. Riona was like the sun and she oozes this aura of cheerful happiness.
Somehow you just feel your spirits lifted when you are near her.
Her voice is not the squeaky type you get from the average sweet young thing. It isn’t the hard and gruffy stern voice you get from the old office virgin with a vendetta against the whole world as well.
There is a softness to it, like a melody. Calming, reassuring, and polite. It’s like the voice will only deliver good news. Even her Singlish, there’s this classy zing to it.
Her ‘la’ dragged on, leaving a tail behind as it gets softer, melting your heart.
Her ‘meh’ came with a raised eyebrow with genuine curiosity.
I have to admit, it’s quite exciting to be talking and interacting with her.
Everyone fought to help Riona with her bag, trying to appear gentlemanly.
Mohan offered to get her coffee, Rizwan pushed to get the 2 spots beside Riona as we walked and Eric asked if she needed some reading material on the flight.
Nelson and Tommy cut in front of the group like some rude drivers overtaking on the expressway.
The made a 180 degree turn, walking backwards as they smiled like a couple of lost teenagers seeing their idol for the first time.
Nelson : You want doughnuts ?
Tommy : You want curry puffs ? ….. I like old chang kee….. do you ??
Riona : Really ? … hahaha… I like old chang kee too….
Tommy : my name will get you 18% off everything….until end of 2017…
Riona : hahaha… really meh ???
Tommy : don’t believe you try….
Derrick appeared out of nowhere with a duty free shopping guide and thrust forward to Riona who laughed and accepted it like a actress swarmed by paparazzi.
Riona : I’m fine guys…. Hahah.. really.. thank you….
Not willing to lose out my first contact advantage, I scurried forward and asked Riona if she travels often.
Soh caught up and crashed the whole fucking party when we got to our check in counter, pushing everyone out of the way.
Soh : KNN la!! All fuck off …. Fuck off… fuck off…..
Mohan : Soh… can you mind your language…. We have a lady here…
Everyone gave Soh a disapproving look, behaving like saints as Soh gave a thick middle finger to the group.
Soh : Riona… come with me…. stay away from them… they’re going through puberty again…
Riona : hahaha…. I think they’re quite cute…
That’s it la.
The cute word.
The 10pm meeting in her room.
Life is beginning to look good for me again.
The group of us erupted as we squeezed and fought for Riona’s attention as she chuckled and covered her mouth, amused at the attention she was getting.
She removed her shades as we got to the check in counter.
Soh : Different counter… you all go over there….
Riona and Soh went to the business class check in lane while the rest of us grumbled and joined the queue for economy.
Jim : 45 minutes flight also fly business ah….
Eric : Never ask you fly budget already very good already…. SQ to KL leh…. You take before or not ??
Come to think of it, I realised I’ve never took a plane to Kuala Lumpur before, I’ve drove, took a bus but never flown.
After the lot of us checked in, we went to the duty free shopping area with Riona.
Like a bunch of school children, we followed her around keeping her laughing and amused with our antics.
There was never a moment Riona was not laughing or smiling. The more I interact with her, the better I felt about our secret.
Riona is 28 years old, she is single and she’s the only child. Her parents are retired in Thailand.
Tommy asked Riona what does she look for in a guy.
Riona : A little bit of everyone of you lor…. hahaha
The noise we made upon hearing her reply really sounded like we were just entering puberty and seeing a female for the first time.
After a bit of shopping, Riona wanted to grab a coffee before boarding and the group split into 2. Half of us stayed with Riona while the other half literally charged into the café, rounding up tables and chairs.
Soh whipped out a 50 dollar bill, asking what Riona would like to drink.
Riona : Coffee… black…. No sugar…. Thank you ah… hahaha…. What about the rest of you ??
Mohan : Me too… same same…. Same as you… I like my coffee black as well… haha…
Nelson ended up ordering the same drink for the group as a few of us pretended to be coffee connoisseur, amusing Riona even further.
You could tell she’s a little overwhelmed by the attention but she was enjoying them nevertheless.
Riona : now now….. let me be clear on this…..hahahah… I’m… ermm… not available ok…. Hahaha…
Riona told the group of us that she’s only interested in women.
Mohan was the first to reply with his thumb and index finger stretched out under his chin, his pathetic attempt at trying a James bond look.
Mohan : I’m pretty sure I can change your mind…..
RIona laughed even harder when Derrick won the fight by saying he will change sex.
Derrick : I will become a woman for you….
Soh stopped the banter just before the time comes for boarding and asked Riona if there were any concerns she would like to raise with the team.
Soh : And stop your nonsense guys…. Don’t forget we’re here to work…. It begins the moment we land…
The noise volume went down a notch and Riona sat forward and addressed the team.
Riona : Ok… here’s the thing…. It’s a simple job…. I’ll be making a withdrawal of about 900k in RM… and another 210k in USD……. my client only deals in cash…. So as a member of the fairer sex, my concerns are of course safety…..and I don’t want to get rob hahaha…the money is not all mine…. But I’m still accountable…
Riona’s banker has already made the arrangements for the withdrawal and all, so we just need to make sure she arrives at the hotel safely with her money.
Riona : There are multiple parties involved so quite a few people will know that I will be there transacting in cash…. This is why I felt I needed some insurance you know…. So I asked Tony for some contacts…. And he introduced you guys…
Rizwan : Ok…. We’re in the middle of town…. And with a group of us… I don’t think anyone will be making an attempt to rob you….don’t worry…
Riona : This brings me to the 2nd thing I need to tell you…there’s a 2nd deal that I need to conclude…… at the shooting range ……
Soh : Oh…. We’re not aware of that…
Riona : I’m sorry… it’s a last minute arrangement….. hope you don’t mind….
Soh : What do you need us to do ??
Riona : Errr… actually nothing…hahaha…. Just bring me to the range safely that’s all…. My business is with the range owner anyway….
Soh nodded and smiled.
Soh : No problem then…. All good !
Riona : and….. since we’re there…. I’m thinking of doing some shopping…. I don’t mind some company if you guys have no plans…
I was the first to react, immediately putting up my hand.
Jim : Don’t worry… I’ll accompany you as a friend…. No extra charge…
Everyone wanted in as well and she chuckled, amused by how ridiculous this was getting.
Riona : No need everyone la… hahaha… it’s going to be so funny with the whole group tagging along as I shop…. Hahaha..
Soh : All of you shut up… !…. I don’t mean you Riona… sorry….
Soh : I’ll have a couple of them follow you around just to be sure….
Riona : Really !!.. that’ll be great !!! …
The way she lit up with her eyes made half the team at the table went ‘ ahhhhh’ in a satisfying manner.
Riona : Tsk !… stop it !…. hahaha…
That jab on the arm she gave Mohan who was sitting beside her was all he needed to lay his life down for Riona.
Soh : I’m very fair one… we will ballot later….
There was a short groan as we vacated our seats with Riona chuckling in the background.
We boarded the flight and arrived in Kuala Lumpur just after lunch.
After the transfer to the hotel, we did the check in and all we can do was wait for Riona’s instruction.
Thursday
2.30pm
Riona told us she was ready and the group of us gathered at the lobby. We had already passed her all of the black wallets that we brought over for safe keeping.
As I waited for Riona, I looked at the surroundings, businessmen, tourist, couples on staycation. Nothing interesting.
Riona came out of the lift with her backpack and that was when something caught my attention.
I saw a staff at the reception looked at Riona before quickly looking down at his phone, then back up again.
I kept my eyes on him as he turned to look at his colleague before lifting up his phone in an attempt to take a picture of her.
He saw me looking and he quickly stopped and went back to his work.
I turned and look at Rizwan who was standing beside me and he nodded, he saw it as well.
Ok, calm down, this could just be us over reacting.
Riona is hot, definitely a head turner. The staff could just be interested in taking her picture and posting it in some forum as fapping materials.
We spread the word about the employee and walked out to Jalan Ampang. I told Riona about the staff in question and she turned and looked at him for about 2 seconds. The staff knew she was staring but chose not to return the look.
RIona : It’s ok la…. He probably thinks I’m hot… hahah…
It’s a short stroll along the road to Wisma.
Mohan , Soh and Eric were in the rear.
Riona , me and Derrick walked as a group as we chatted.
Tommy , Nelson and Rizwan took the front.
The 3 group walked with a 5m spacing between us , about the length of a carpark lot.
Nothing tactical to our spacing either, you just basically walk as a group so we can see who’s in front and at the back.
It was an uneventful walk, we went to the bank, she did her withdrawal and we walked her back to the hotel.
Done.
Riona went back up to her room, while the rest of us were dismissed.
She will call Soh when she’s ready to go for her shopping.
4.30pm
I did not get the ballot much to my disappointment. Rizwan and Nelson tagged along with Riona for her shopping trip while the rest of the group went for foot massages, food and a bit of shopping around the area.
9.00pm
I was back in the room with Tommy.
We chatted as I waited for time to pass.
Jim: How’s your grandmother ??
Tommy : Still the same… I’ll visit whenever I can….. on days when she can recognise me, she will scold me for taking so long to visit her…. Hahhaa even though I just dropped by the day before….
Jim : What about your parents ? … you planning on visiting them soon ?
Tommy : Perhaps…. Not exactly close to them anyway… it was my grandmother that raised me up….i’ll rather spend time with my Ah ma….
Tommy spends his weekend at the nursing home, volunteering his time and taking care of his grandmother. I asked if he’s seeing anyone and he said no.
Tommy : Not exactly young anymore…. I’m quite tired with playing around…
Jim : Then settle down la…
Tommy : hahaha… you think that easy ah….. find a girl… she still needs to accept your family and all….. I think nowadays… if any girl hears I have a old grandmother to take care off in the nursing home…. All run far far away… haha…
Jim : Fuck la… what rubbish… as long as you like each other…. The rest doesn’t matter….
Tommy grinned and rubbed his hands together.
Tommy : Yah… hahah… If Riona don’t mind…. Hahaha.. I confirm marry her… haha
I shook my head and looked at the time.
I took a shower, changed into something casual and told Tommy I’m going down for a walk and to make a call.
Jim : You want anything ? … convenient stall or ??
Tommy : no need…. Got HBO channel to watch I enough.. haha…
9.50pm
I took the lift up to Riona’s room and hit the door bell, my heart thumping in anticipation.
This is it man.
The door opened and I was greeted with Riona’s signature smile.
Riona : Hey Jim… come on in…
When the door open fully, I could feel the stir in my pants when I realised Riona was in her bathrobe.
As I entered her suite, I saw the clothes she was wearing earlier in the day on one of the chair. Her jeans neatly folded over, her top resting on top of her jeans. Her bra too, and even a plain grey panty.
Does that mean she was naked underneath ?
Maybe I’m thinking too much, she could have showered and changed.
Jim : What do you need me to do ?
Riona looked at me from the top to bottom before saying something that felt like a roller coaster ride starting it’s ascent to the top
Riona : You want to change into something…. More comfortable ??
I smiled a little awkwardly as I was unsure of what to say.
What reply can I give to something like this ?
I just nodded my head and Riona brought me another bathrobe.
I wasted no time changing, I fucking strip myself and just threw the robe on.
My dick was throbbing by then as Riona came back with 2 glasses and asked if I would like a drink.
Jim : Sure… haha.. sure…
She opened a bottle of duty free whiskey and poured us each a serving after sending a couple of messages on her phone.
Gesturing over to the sofa, I went over and she handed me one.
We started to chat and Riona got a little touchy, her voice became a bit softer.
I choked on my drink when she asked how big I think her breast are.
Jim : What ! ?? err… hahah
Riona : You’ve seen me naked… I’m sure you can pretty much tell…
Jim : ermm… 34B ??
Her eyes lit up immediately.
Riona : Wow…. you’re good… I was still expecting you to say you needed to touch them before giving me a reply… hahaha…
Jim : haha.. well.. errr… ii….eeerrr… I don’t mind verifying it too…. Hahaha..
Riona giggled and gave me a playful smack on my arm.
Riona : waist ?? … care to guess ?
This time round I’m smarter, I asked if I could gauge it before answering.
Riona was sporting enough and she stood up in front of me , took my hands and put it on her.
My dick was so erected that it was starting to get painful.
Jim : 24 ??
Riona laughed and shook her head.
Riona : Are you mad ? …. No la… 26 la…
Jim : Still pretty close…
Riona : what about the bottom ?
I let my hands slide down to Riona’s bottom and I could hear her gasp when I gave her bottom a squeeze.
Jim : 34 ?
Riona smiled and nodded her head.
Riona : clever boy….
This is it. There is no way this evening would end without me getting fucked by Riona by all the signs I’m seeing.
Riona : I need your help Jim…. It’s important…. Our lives might depend on it…
She sat down beside me and poured me another drink.
Jim : What ? ….
I was about to laugh and ask if she’s joking but Riona was not smiling or laughing.
Jim : err… you’re scaring me.. what do you need me to do ? ….
The doorbell rang and there was a few hard knocks on the door.
Instinctively I stood up and looked towards the entrance but Riona asked me to sit down.
Riona : Relax…
Jim : Is someone coming ? … do you need me to call Soh and guys ? ….
Riona : No Jim…. I need you to do something else…..
She got up and walked towards the door as the knocking for louder and more impatient.
Right before she opened the door, Riona turned and looked at me.
Riona : I need you to pretend you are me…
Jim : What ? …
There was no time for me to question Riona further as she opened the door.
Standing in front of her were 4 men.
I could feel my muscles tightened as I looked at them enter the room.
Fuck, this is not good.
The 1st man is short and stout with a large frame. A gold chain with 3 amulets hung around his neck and he has short buzz cut hair. He spotted several tattoos and he seemed like the one in charge.
The next 2 man behind him were at least 1.9m tall each. They’re well built and from the size of their arms, they could probably break my neck with their bare hands. The last man however, was the hotel staff.
Yes, that same staff that tried to take a picture of Riona earlier that day.
I was still sitting down on the sofa, whiskey glass in hand. I was panicking but I tried to remain calm and kept my expression neutral.
Don’t show it Jim…. No matter what, don’t fucking show you are about to piss in your bathrobe.
The 4 men walked into the suite and the stout man walked in front of me. He remained standing as he directed his eyes between me and Riona who had just shut and locked the door.
Riona : Khun Anurak….. thank you for coming….
The stout man looked at Riona without saying anything, Anurak, that’s his name. A male angel in thai mythology .
Anurak turned to look at the hotel staff and communicated in thai.
The staff gestured his head at Riona in reply.
Riona : yes……..I am Ryan…
Anurak looked at Riona for a good 3 seconds before bursting out in laughter, easing the tension in the hotel suite.
Anurak : I have work…. With Ryan…. Very long….. we never meet….. but I know….. Ryan….. not a girl…. Hahahahaah…… rumours yes…. But I can feel….. Ryan… is man… he like girls…. We talk about hot girls…..all the time…. The things we will do to them… …. hahahahaha….
He turned to Riona and shook his head.
Anurak : Girl…. Will not discuss the things we talk about….hahahaha…
Oh my god.
I’m really fucked this time round.
I could see the sparkle in Riona’s eyes as she gave a slight crooked smile without replying Anurak.
Anurak turned towards me and he came close, I stood up instinctively and put down my glass.
Anurak smiled and gave me a hug.
He broke off the hug and shook my hand.
Anurak : Finally we meet ….. brother Ryan….…. Ahahhaha…….. finally we meet.
Fuck.
I smiled and returned his smiled, unsure of what to say. On one hand I wanted to deliver a stern look at Riona but seeing the other guys staring at me, I decided not to do anything rash.
My mind was immediately flooded with the worst case scenario. Honestly I was a little freak out.
Riona’s kept up her porcelain Barbie girl look and she poured Anurak a drink.
Riona looked like she was determined to get me fucked further and she emerged with a locked briefcase.
Fuck. I could feel my heart dropping.
I’m going to go to jail or some shit.
There’s no way I can wriggle myself out of this if the police come charging in through the door now. If this is some drug deal, I’m dead. I’m going to get hanged, my face splashed all over the news.
There was a combination lock on it, 3 numbers on each side and she set it down in front of me.
Anurak : come…… let’s do business …. brother… we do this so long over email…. 2 years….but this time… big sum….
The whole lot in the suite waited for me to unlock the case. I hesitated for half a second too long as Anurak grinned and raised an eyebrow at me in a questioning manner.
Then it all came rushing back into my head as I looked at Riona before realising why she allowed me to touch her earlier. The numbers.
Her stats.
I turned the combination, 342 , 634. I hit the clasped and there was a click. My blood was boiling as the reality of me being used like this sank in. How could she do this do me. What if I was not fast enough to catch on ?
What will happen then ?
Will she step in and rescue me from the awkward situation ?
I opened the briefcase and my heart just dropped like I fell off a roller coaster.
All the money Riona had withdrew that morning were inside. Stacks of dollar bills in both RM and USD.
Anurak gestured for the case and I handed it over to him.
I turned it over to Anurak who took a look at it, flipped through a stack and shut the case.
Riona : Please check the amount ….. that they tally with….
Anurak waved Riona off in a half hearted manner.
Anurak : I no check brother Ryan….. I trust him….. his reputation….. the best…
Riona : But it’s cash this time round…. You..
Anurak waved Riona away, grinning at me.
There was no drama to the whole transaction, only a fool. That fool is me.
Turning to me, Anurak looked at me in the eyes.
Anurak : It’s a pleasure doing business with you brother….hahahahahaha….. people all say you…. man of few words…. Don’t like to talk in real life..…. I like….. I don’t like people talk talk talk…. No do work….. you brother….. no talk…. Make decision..…. I like… hahaha…. You want girl…. Come Thailand find me…. I find you many pretty girl…. Ahahah…
Jim : Next time… next time…
Anurak : I know what kind girl… you like….i find for you… hahah…. Your messages… and emails..…. Always very funny… hahaha… you like to play girl…. Hahah….
Anurak handed the brief case to his assistant and one of them left immediately with the hotel staff I saw that morning.
Anurak : Now… business concluded…. About your private request….
Shit, what private request ?
Thankfully Riona was fast enough, she had brought out the wallets with the money and put them on the table in front of me.
Riona : Khun Anurak….. the price is a bit high….. for this… we were thinking…..
Anurak : hahahha… no high… no high…. Good price….next time I give even better price…. Ryan…… special price for you…. my things… quality goods….and I need to bring them in from Thailand to Malaysia…. High risk… if I know is you…. I would give even better price….
Jim : ohhh… errmmm..
I wasn’t sure how to respond to that and Riona stepped in.
Riona : we were not sure of the range of products you carry…. So we had to go through the intermediary…. If we knew… we’ll come straight to you….
Anurak : Yes yes…. I still need pay middle man…. This one… already good price…
Riona spoke to me in chinese.
Riona : 给他4个可以吗？ ( can we give him 4 ? )
I don’t know what the fuck that means and I just nodded my head as I drank my whiskey.
4 wallet, each has 9k.
Whatever personal favour Riona is asking of Anurak, it’s costing her 36k USD.
Must be one hell of a favour.
Riona sat down on the floor beside the table and counted out the sum before putting them on the table in front of Anurak.
Anurak handed the money over to his assistant and spoke to him in Thai. I thought he wanted him to count the notes but it was not. I think he gave him some instruction to split the sum into a few portions.
His assistant whipped out his phone and read through some messages and began sorting them into different piles.
Anurak made a remark about Riona as we waited for his assistant to finish whatever he was doing.
Anurak : your assistant …. Very pretty … hahaha…. Is she good ?? haha
I nodded with a smile and decided this was the time to get back at Riona.
Jim : good… she’s very obedient…. Everything I say… she will do….. my pet…
Riona turned and looked at me.
Jim : take off your bathrobe… strip…
Anurak laughed out loud and I could see the excitement in the eyes of his remaining assistant as well.
Riona looked at me in disbelief with her mouth half opened.
Riona : What ? !!
Well come on. I walked into her house and she received me half naked, I don’t think she would hesitate taking off her clothes here either no ?
What’s the worst that can happen ? She can always refuse, I’m already waist deep in shit anyway.
Jim : Didn’t you hear me…. take off your clothes…
Riona gritted her teeth and undid the drawstring of her bathrobe much to my surprise. I was half expecting her to slap me but she seemed determined to see things through.
Anurak : hahahahaha…. Brother Ryan…. You very naughty… hahah
Riona removed her robe completely as she took a deep breath and she just looked at me with her angry eyes.
Anurak : She angry brother…. She angry… hahaha..
Jim : No… she’s not angry… she just shy…
I sat back on the sofa and gestured Riona forward with my index finger.
She sighed and turned towards me. I sat forward, positioning my face right in front of her vagina.
I went close and Riona backed away instinctively.
With her back towards Anurak, she frowned and glared at me, mouthing obscene languages but I ignored her.
I grabbed her naked thigh with both hands and dragged her closer, hearing a helpless yelp escape from her mouth.
Riona : erh !!
Her sudden jerk of her body, plunged herself towards my face, plastering her privates onto my nose and mouth.
Oh my god, that sweet scent of a freshly showered and washed vagina using the expensive hotel soap and fragrance.
I kissed Riona on her vagina lips as she yelped and pushed my head again.
Jim : Did you just push me ??
I could see Riona was about to bite my head off but I ignored her.
My life is over.
I’m going to go to jail, get hanged. I’m not going to see my parents again, this has to be the last time I ever touch a woman before I get raped in prison. I have to do it.
I got up and I’m determined to milk this for all it’s worth.
Fuck If I’m going to jail, and this is going to be the last time I touch a boob, I’m going to enjoy it thoroughly. I still haven got over the fact that she made use of me for whatever dodgy deal this is.
I walked behind Riona, my hands reaching forward and cupping her breast as she jumped. Not only did I cup her breast, I kneaded them like soft dough, playing with her nipples in front of her guest.
I lifted up her firm breast, feeling the suppleness of her love pillows melt in my palms. God, they feel so good and firm in my hands. Just the right weight and size.
Pressing my nose onto Riona’s ears, I smelled her as I looked at Anurak, giving him a naughty grin.
Jim : See…. She’s nice…very obedient…
Anurak : hahah…haha… nice… nice… you make me miss my wife Ryan…hahahah
I let my hands roamed down Riona’s body, tracing across her flat tummy and within seconds I touched her baby smooth vagina lips. I could feel her body shiver but there was nothing she could do.
Anurak whooped a couple of times when he saw my fingers heading closer and closer to Riona’s privates.
Anurak : hahahah… brother Ryan you really know how to play….. … hahahaha….
I felt Riona shiver again as my index and ring finger of my right hand parted her pussy lips while my middle finger lingered at the entrance. I could see Anurak and his guy’s eyes widening as I massaged and spread Riona’s pussy lips in full view of them.
I spread her vagina lips, then relaxed my fingers to close them, then I spread them again, then again I relax. Then I spread them wide, scraping the walls of her pussy lips with my fingernails.
Riona was trying to control her breathing, I could see from the multiple mirrors in the suite that she was biting her lips, trying to control herself.
I kissed her on her cheek before dipping my finger into her vagina. I touched her first at her love hole entrance, then I slowly massaged and poke my finger in, little by little. Every little bit I advance, I could feel the reluctance of Riona’s body as she shivered.
Her legs tried hard to support her body, but they keep buckling. As soon as she buckled, she would try to straighten herself again.
Riona : Ernghh !…gasp !…
By then Anurak and his assistant’s mouth were half opened, grinning and eagerly waiting to see what I would do.
I brought out my middle finger, wet at the tip with Riona’s natural lube. I could feel her breathing increase as she fought to keep her body still.
Realising that she’s already wet, I put my finger in again, probing deeper this time round.
I heard a gasp escape from Riona’s mouth as she shivered when half my finger disappeared into her. Her eyes widened as her fingers closed into a fist, unsure of where to grip or hold for balance.
I dug my finger in deep, turning and scraping Riona’s love hole as she gasped for air and struggled to keep herself upright.
Anurak : ok brother… ok…. Enough… enough… you make me horny…. I also want to play.… hahaha
Pulling it out again, I brought it up against the light of the hotel room, admiring my handiwork.
Sick I know but hey, I might get shot any minute, or arrested , who knows.
Anurak : I think we better go brother Ryan….hahah…. things get steamy soon for you hahaha….
He stood up, and gave me a card with a email address and a number.
Anurak : this one….. Personal contact…..next time….. when you need toys…..contact me…. we cut out middleman…. Hahahah….. I have many many toys…… business wise…. No change…. Use the business mail and number…. Next time I introduce my partner…. He surely like you… hahahaha….
I smiled and accepted the card before putting it in my pocket.
Jim : Take care brother..
Anurak : you too…
We hugged again and before Anurak left the suite with his assistant he paused.
Anurak : I…. we…. We really appreciate you doing this brother….. all the children…..and the elderly…. They need the medicine….and the villages…. The fighting…. Very bad….news don’t report…..every night…. Can hear gun fire…..
I was stunned for a moment as I just nodded.
Anurak : I may be a black market dealer…. But I Buddhist ….. my heart good…. I help all…..Muslim village, Buddhist village…. All the children….. I help all….politics no help common people like us… all the medicine…supplies… I no profit…. We only cover the transport…..
Jim : Oh… yes…ermm.. I really appreciate you doing that….
My throat felt a little parched and dry by then as I nodded slowly.
Anurak : Come find me in Thailand brother….Pattani no place to party…. We go Bangkok… there nice to party… hahah….. don’t worry…. I will make sure the villagers receive the supplies…… I always keep my word….
I’m really fucked this time as I sent Anurak to the door.
I hesitated to turn around after shutting it but when I did, all I got was a tight slap across my face.
SMACK !
Jim : Owww !…
Riona’s bathrobe was on and she was glaring at me as she desperately tried to cover herself up.
Riona : You… IDOIT!!!!
Jim : I…. I didn’t know what was going on !!… you can’t blame me…
Riona : Those money are for black market supplies…..for the restive south region….it’s hard to procure certain materials down there…. It’s dangerous for everyone !!…. if someone knows you are sending supplies and stuff there…. There’s going to be a serious backlash….it won’t sit well with the government or the separatist movement…. !!
Jim : but… but… I thought it was a drug deal of some sort.
Riona raised her hand, trying to hit me again but I ducked.
Riona : Anurak is a dealer…. He’s connected….. he’s also a fucking chauvinist… … he will not deal with me if he knew I’m a woman !!! I just needed you to front the meetup !!!…. oh god fuck !!! of all the men Soh brought along…. Why did I choose you !!! ??? FUCK!!.. I should have chosen someone else… !!
Jim : you should have told me about it…. ! how would I know ?? you do until like that…. anyone would also jump to conclusion….
Riona : JIM !!.. this is serious stuff… people’s lives are at stake…. Villagers get murdered and they disappeared without anyone giving a fuck….
Jim : What’s in it for you then ??
Riona : Corporate social responsibility !!…..
Jim : Bull shit…..
Riona : I move money for a living Jim…. And in that process, I channel some to causes that is worthy ….
Jim : How do you really know if that was the case ??
Riona : JIM !!!!
Jim : fine… fine… ok… sorry… I’m sorry I fingered…. I meant…
Riona screamed and chased me out of her suite with my finger still coated with her lubricant and threw my clothes out after me.
So much for getting laid.
Right before I went back to my own room, I looked at my wet finger and could not resist bringing it up to my nose.
My god. What a waste…… what a waste….
I changed out at the pool and headed back to the room.
I told no one about it and went to bed.
27th Jan 2017
Friday
9.00am
I avoided Riona’s eyes when we had breakfast in the café that morning. Needless to say, I took the seat furthest away from her.
After that it was an uneventful drive to the shooting range.
The rest of the guys still tried to get close to her except me. I don’t think it would do me any good to be near her that day.
Especially not when we are going to a shooting range. There’s no telling what she would do when she gets her hand on a weapon and live rounds.
The range is located in the outskirts of KL, about an hour drive away.
When we got there, the range owner and 2 of his staff were there to meet us.
Riona went direct to the owner and they spoke in private up front while the rest of us walked on behind.
There was a customary tour before the lot of us came to the main event of the day. The shoot of course.
There was a demonstration and Riona has offered to pay for our shoot as well according to Soh. Mohan was the first to take up the offer.
Mohan : Riona …. Let me teach you ok…. The recoil…. Is strong… so you must….
I did not really pay attention as the rest of the guys continued to try and impress Riona at the range. After all, shooting is a guy’s thing.
When it was Riona’s turn, I stepped right away then I watch her smile and held up the weapon.
She gripped the weapon with both hands but before she brought it up , the owner of the range came over and whispered something to her.
Riona : Really ?…. let’s do that then….!!
Riona removed her safety glasses and followed the owner eagerly towards his office.
Since I was the furthest away from the shooting gallery, I was the nearest to the office. Soh gestured for me to follow Riona and I nodded.
I thought Riona was heading to the office but instead she was heading to a smaller building at the side. A standalone structure about the size of a 3 room flat with it’s own bathroom.
The exterior looked normal, like any of those concrete structure with flat roof on the range but the insides looked different.
A row of expensive looking lockers each the size of a wardrobe lined the wall. Each is about the height of a man, 1.8m tall and 1m wide. Everyone came with it’s own expensive looking lock controlled by a touch screen keypad.
I was right behind Riona and the owner pointed her to a particular locker that was opened.
Riona smiled and when she saw me there, asked me to grab one 2 of the black wallets for the owner and bring the rest to her.
Riona : I’ll be fine alone…. Come back after you’re done….
Jim : ok…
I walked with the owner of the range Larry towards the vehicle.
Larry : You know Riona very well ? ….
Jim : Err… I wouldn’t say very well…. Why ?
Larry : Just curious…. Not many girls have hobbies like this…. haha..
Jim : Yeah… I think she’s weird too…
I handed Larry 2 of the wallets and went back to look for Riona with the rest.
When I got to the building entrance, blood left my face when I saw what Riona was holding.
Or rather, what Riona was doing.
She held something that is awfully familiar to me. In fact, any guy that has served in the army before would recognise that weapon Riona was holding.
No, I’m not stunned by the fact that she’s holding onto a M16 assault rifle. I’m stunned by the way she was handling it. She’s definitely used one before.
A couple of well-practised pull of the charging handles, checking to make sure the chamber is clear. Riona released the handle and squeeze of the trigger.
Jim : What are you doing ??….
Riona saw me at the entrance and asked me to keep quiet.
Riona : You tell Soh about this… he will fucking freak out… so… keep it to yourself…
Jim : What are you doing with that…. ?? You cannot shoot that here….you are not even supposed to have that !!! does Larry know ?? !!
Riona : Larry is aware…. It’s not cheap maintaining a place like this…..
Without breaking a beat, Riona started to strip the weapon down, checking each part to make sure they’re good.
I looked behind my shoulder and went forward to the cupboard Riona was at.
There was another rifle in there, 3 magazines and countless boxes of ammunitions. I could even see the brand of the ammunition.
5.56 tracer rounds made by American eagle. Projectiles that are built with a small pyrotechnic charge in their base, so when you shoot them, you can see the trajectory the bullet takes.
How the fuck did she get her hands on stuff like this.
It was then I remembered the deal with Anurak.
Jim : Anurak… he got these for you ???
Riona : Yeah…. Plenty of them in thailand… if you know where to look…..
After Riona reassembled the rifle, I watch her start to load the magazine.
I took a step backwards , shaking my head.
Jim : I… I have to tell Soh about this…. you cannot do this… you’ll get all of us into trouble….
Riona : Don’t be a wuss Jim… I do this all the time back in states…. It’s just so hard to practise in this part of the world….
Jim : Where did you learn to do things like this ??
Riona : Oh… you think only you boys can learn stuff like this ?
She was done with a full magazine and I watch her hold it up as she talked to me.
I feel quite uncomfortable about this as I continued stepping backwards.
Jim : Riona …. I … I just want to apologies for how ….. stupid I was last night…
She looked at me in surprise for 2 seconds before bursting into laughter. Shaking her head, she rolled her eyes and kept the stuff in her cupboard.
She came over , folded her arms and spoke to me, looking at me in the eye.
Riona : you owe me this…. for last night…. I’m just going to tell Soh…. That I want some time alone…. All of you can leave…. Come back in an hour…. I’ll be done by then…. You scardy cats can go and have lunch or something….
Jim : Riona… I still think.. it’s not a good idea…
Riona : I can handle myself Jim…. I’m not a little girl…. I do this like 3 times a month when I was studying….
I considered what she said and made her a counter proposal.
Jim : Tell Soh I’m staying … the rest will follow him… someone needs to keep an eye on you….
You must be wondering why I did this.
See, it doesn’t look like I can change Riona’s mind, she went through so much to get her toys so she can shoot it, she’s not going to leave without doing it.
If I leave with the guys, and anything happens to Riona, Soh is going to kill me if he knows I’m aware of Riona’s stunt. If the client dies, we don’t get paid.
At least if I stay, I can do everything within my capabilities to make sure Riona don’t do anything crazy.
Riona : Why ? aren’t you afraid of the consequences ?? hahahah… discharging a unauthorised weapon…. Hahah…
Jim : I’m not touching that… I’m just watching you do it…
Riona chuckled and shook her head.
Riona : Whatever rocks your boat man…. I don’t care…. there’s another one in the shelf if you want..….
Jim : No thank you… I’m not touching that….
Riona : chicken… haha….
I left the structure after I watch Riona locked the weapon in her locker .
Jim : You leaving those here ??
Riona : You know of any place in Singapore I can keep them ? …. Duhzz…
Heading back to Soh and the guys, I could hear the sporadic sound of gunfire from the range. Everyone was having a good time.
It’s not everyday that you get to fire a weapon in this part of the world. And that you’re doing it for leisure.
Mohan : Riona… come… come… I show you… hahaha…
She smiled and stepped up to the range, taking one of the preloaded weapon from the instructor and Mohan’s smile slowly faded away as she emptied her magazine rapidly, producing a grouping much better than the rest of the guys present.
The range grew quiet as Riona laughed before the clapping start.
Nelson : Riona…. I have fallen so deeply for you….. I don’t know what else to say….
Tommy : Riona…. I’m officially declaring I’m coming after you….. are you free this weekend ?..
The jostling started again much to her amusement while I remained at the back.
There’s much more to Riona that meets the eye and I’m not so sure she is the wide eyed spunky chick she is on the surface.
Riona spoke with Soh, asking him to release the team for lunch as she prefers to practice alone and in peace.
Riona : can you guys buy lunch back…..Jim can stay here with me..…
Jeers erupted from the group as every asked why I was the one selected instead.
Soh is not stupid. He is a businessman at the end of the day, even though he agreed on the surface, Soh asked me aside. Perhaps it’s his business acumen, something just didn’t seem right.
Soh : What the fuck is happening Jim ?? …
If I told Soh the truth, he would fucking flip. Yet I knew if I lied and gave him a surface reply, he would know. So I told him a watered down version of it.
Jim : I followed Larry and Riona to a private store…. I saw Riona wanting to shoot some rifles from Larry’s personal collection..
Soh : What ?
Jim : They’re not approved in the range… or rather in the country..…automatic weapons…. I objected of course…
Soh : Then ?
Jim : You just look at her… you think after all this trouble… her so call deal with the range owner… she will leave without doing it….. I told her I need to discuss this with you but she threw a fit…. Says she’s not going to leave and all….
Soh took a while to digest the information and I went on.
Jim : She booked the whole range…. Larry and his staff will definitely keep quiet…. I told Riona that we don’t want to be implicated…. So it’s better that we leave while she does it…. We’ll come back after she’s done….
Soh : Then why did she ask for you to stay….
I turned to look at Riona who was looking at me from a distance away.
Jim : I told her I would lie to you about it because if not… there’s no way you would leave a client unattended while the whole team heads out to lunch….….this is the only way you will get the team off the range… at least someone must stay with her…
Soh : Soh looked at me before turning to look at Riona.
Jim : still your call man…. You decide… i’ll do what I can to keep an eye on her…. she can definitely handle a weapon….i’ll just have to make sure she don’t do anything stupid…
Soh nodded his head and asked me to make sure she don’t kill herself.
Jim : I will….
After another 10 minutes of gathering up the guys, Soh left with the team to get lunch at a location 30 minutes away with one of the range instructors.
The gate was closed, the other instructor disappeared, leaving only Larry , me and Riona.
I kept watched at the entrance of the standalone structure as Larry and Riona chatted while the filled up the magazine. The sound at felt so familiar and foreign.
‘tack, tack , tack ‘
It felt weird to hear Riona talking about her travels while she loaded the magazine.
I looked at the dozen of lockers in the structure and wondered what other stuff they contained. Do they all contain contraband items ?
Do they also contain personal weapons other shooting enthusiasts own ?
Riona walked out of the room with the weapon slinged across her shoulder and I followed.
Larry brought us up this path that leads up to the forested area behind the range. It was a downhill trek. 5 minutes later, we came out to a clearing with makeshift targets set up.
There was a table as well, covered with dried leaves and twigs.
Larry swept it clean and set the magazines on the table.
Riona : Alright… finally !!.. hahaha…
She’s strong for a girl, I watch her lift up the weapon, checking to make sure the chamber is clear the same manner I would before squeezing off the trigger.
In a smooth fluid motion, I watched Riona grabbed a 30 round magazine, tapped it firmly into the weapon and pulled the charging handle.
Larry stepped back and I jumped when I heard the 1st report from the rifle. There wasn’t even a hint of hesitation.
Single shots came one after another for a while before Riona switched it to automatic.
She seemed at ease with the strong recoil and the thunderous noise from her weapon. When she was done with her first magazine, I could hear her laughing.
Riona : hahaha… this feels so good man … hahahaha !!!….
After the 3rd magazine, I had to distance myself a little more.
It’s been a while since I last fired a weapon in camp, I forgot how loud it is. My eardrums were starting to ring a little. Larry had his own ear plugs but Riona was shooting it without any.
30 minutes later and countless reloads later, Riona was finally done.
We went back to the structure and Larry left us alone.
Riona striped the weapon down , checked it again before nodding with a smile on her face.
Jim : You really enjoy this don’t you…
Riona : hahaha… I do…. This is a good rifle…
The rifle looks old, serial number has been filed away. It’s probably from the Vietnam war era yet it’s still study and reliable.
She cleaned and oiled the weapon as I looked on, humming a popular pop song as she did.
Riona told me about her time back when she was studying. They would visit these gun shows in those small towns in the states. You can just buy a gun with cash, no questions asked.
Jim : Don’t you have any other ….. say.. more normal hobbies ? ..
Riona : I like girls…. You do too right ?
Jim : I’m… curious…. What do you do with them ??
Riona : hahaha… I fuck them of course….
Jim: right……
Riona laughed and shook a magazine at me.
Riona : I could show you….
Jim : No thank you…
I heard several loud honks at the range entrance.
Soh and guys must be back.
Riona kept her toys in the cabinet and locked it.
Riona : gimme a min…. I’m heading to the washroom…
Jim : Ok…
I watched Riona enter the bathroom and heard the crack of the door closing before the snap of the bolt.
Turning to look at her locker with a 6 digit combination lock, I fought to keep myself from touching it but I felt like it was calling out for me.
“Just try “
“ you never know “
Turning to check that Riona was still in the bathroom, i tapped the keypad out of curiosity.
342 ………. 634
The keypad flashed green and there was a metallic click.
I kept my eyes at the bathroom entrance and took a peek.
Just a peek.
3 seconds later, I shut it.
I smiled and shook my head.
It’s not like I would ever need it, but if that day comes, I know where to go.
Riona came out from the bathroom and we went back out to meet the guys.
Soh gave me a questioning look and I gave him a quiet nod, reassuring him that everything is fine.
It was then I noticed something about the rest of the team .
Everyone was looking a little glum. Even Riona noticed their expressions.
Riona : What is wrong with you guys ?? eh ?? hahaha… Come on… Mohan… RIz…. Let’s go shoot…
Riona put her arms around Rizwan and Mohan a little awkwardly due to the height difference and I asked Eric what happened .
Jim : Oei… what’s wrong…. Why everyone so grumpy….
Eric sighed and said Soh got a phone call.
Jim : What phone call ??
Eric : The client we all hated….
Jim : Oh…. Who ??
Soh walked up to me and answered my question .
Soh : Mrs Poon…. And her daughter….
Jim : Ohhh…. What about them ??
Eric sighed and he filled me in about their last job with them.
15 minutes later i sat on a bench near the structure where Riona’s toys was being kept.
Shaking my head, I dug into my lunch of fried rice the guys got for me.
I scooped a spoonful into my mouth and looked towards the small structure.
If what Eric told me was true….. I might just want the contents in Riona’s cupboard for myself.
Washing down the rice with a mouthful of coke, i reached into my pocket and took out Anurak’s namecard.
Nah….
Doubt i would need it.
I sighed and ate my lunch, mumbling to myself in the humid weather as Riona’s chuckling travelled to my ears.
Jim : Just make a living Jim…… just make a living….
Who exactly is Mrs Poon you say ?
She is the nastiest woman you can ever imagine.
None of the guys enjoyed working with her but its not like the team has much of a choice.
Mrs Poon is not only a regular, she is also our landlord. Soh got the industrial space on the cheap because of Mrs Poon.
Instead of Mrs Poon, the guys call her poo behind her back.
Yeah, as in poo for shit.
That’s how much they hated her.
During the uneventful ride back to the airport, I was filled in by my friends all manner of horror that they needed to endure with Poon.
It’s beginning to sound like a modern day fairy tale of Cinderella and her stepmother.
First up, she’s got to be in her early 50s.
Poon is short, pudgy and stout like a teapot.
The manner in which she likes to hold her handbag and rest her hand of her waist made her look just like one.
She’s rude, looks down on people and just because she is loaded, she gets to do whatever things she wants.
Poon is like a witch, the same one that your mother tells you would lure you to some house made of candy before she eats you.
She’s ugly, has a bit of a body odour which she tries to mask with a lot of perfume and she has a blatant disregard for personal hygiene.
She can get touchy at times, and Poon will not hesitate to touch you in a uncomfortable manner.
That coming from a guy has to mean something.
Now, these things tend to be a little exaggerated, especially coming from close friends so I took them with a pinch of salt but still, it already left a very deep impression in me. Just looking at how disturbed Soh was from the phone call, I knew it had to be something serious.
That Poon is a force to be reckon with.
The trip back to the airport was uneventful.
RIona kept up with the team’s banter and Mohan was eagerly asking her when would she be needing our services again.
Mohan : Or…. If you are free this weekend…..hahah…
RIona laughed as she waved us off at the lobby of her apartment.
Riona : Bye guys…. I enjoyed myself…. It’s been fun…. Hahaha
Soh shook her hand and he spoke with her in private for a minute before wrapping up our contract with RIona.
Riona : Thanks Soh….. look forward to working with you guys again soon..
The lot of us went back to our office for a bit of freshening up. It was already 7pm and Soh ordered dinner in.
Soh : sorry for keeping you guys back…. But we need to get some of the planning done before next job….
As we ate, Soh printed out some emails, made a few calls and one of them to Poon to clarify some of the requirements.
With a heavy heart, Soh told the team that we have a 3 day 2 night contract with Poon and her daughter Paige.
Soh : Poon….. ok… ermm…. Jim… you’ve never met her before ,…. So please… be extra careful around her….. be alert… she’s queer…. Ok…. a little…. Eccentric.
Jim : Ok… I’ve heard that she’s quite scary….
It’s not hard to see Soh deliberately ignored my comment.
Soh : Now… this is the first time the entire team…. Is going over to Poon’s place….
Immediately protest sounded out from the floor.
Tommy : Why go her place ?? last time we drew lots…. !!
Derrick : WHAT !!! HER PLACE!!! AGAIN!!!
Mohan : Soh…. Can we don’t do this job ??
Everyone was groaning and Soh slammed his palm on the whiteboard several times.
Soh : We have to do this… sorry…. Not a choice….
Rizwan : ….. I was sexually harassed by Poon the last time round….
I raised an eyebrow at the comment in surprise and was even more taken back when I realised no one laughed.
It was not a joke.
Soh : You suck it up and move on…. Part of the job….. she touch only right…. Did she rape you ??
Rizwan : Soh… this is workplace harassment…..you need to protect your employee…..
Soh threw a pen at Rizwan and told the team that we were needed there for a birthday party.
Soh : It is Paige’s 21st birthday party. ….. there will be guest…. Drinks…. The whole nine yards and a few of Paige’s friends will be staying over as well…..
Soh told the team that we will be split up into groups.
Soh : Poon will have a couple of her friends over as well, so we have 3 teams…. One will stay with Poon….. the other with her daughter Paige….the last time will be on guard duty….
Eric filled me in and gave me a quick summary of Paige
Eric : Paige, like her mother Poon is a bitch….. a total bitch…. Pretty yes…. But fuck…. You see the attitude…. It will make your cock shrink…. She’s a sadist….
To sum it up, Paige is the hot chick you would want to bed when you see her along the street but her character would make you think twice. She’s not the easy type according to Eric, a little haughty and guys are expected to put in effort.
For Paige though, Eric said she was definitely not worth the effort.
I thought a nasty pair of mother and daughter is all we need to deal with but that’s not all.
It turns out that Paige is Poon’s daughter from her 1st marriage, there is someone else in the picture. Peggy.
Peggy is the Cinderella in this sad disturbing tale.
A daughter from Poon’s 2nd marriage.
Peggy’s biological father, who is no longer around, is also part of the reason why Poon is so rich today.
Now, Peggy is never publicly acknowledged and if not for Soh who revealed to the team previously, no one would ever guess a plain sweet looking girl in the house is related to the family.
Eric told me Peggy was not allowed to leave the house, and if rumours by the house staff were true, she has been in the house ever since she completed her ‘o’ levels. Even in he presence of other visitors, in this case Soh and the team, Poon would openly abuse and pick on Peggy.
Eric : Soh told us privately to do what we can to stop Poon and Paige from picking on Peggy during our job…. Very poor thing that girl… Poon made her bring us drinks, take our shoes and socks for us…..
Eric shook his head, revealing a brief moment of anger.
Eric : Fuck la… I eat so big…. No one fucking brings my socks and shoes to me…. But,,,but that Poon….
Eric told me that Poon made Peggy bring all of the men’s shoes and socks to them before they left the house the last time round.
Eric : We wanted to refuse but…. The whole situation was so awkward…. Fuck… we were made to sit on the sofa…. And that poor girl….. bring our shoes in…. kneel down… put in front of us….then repeat…. KNN I tell you,… Rizwan almost wanted to punch Poon…
No one knows why Poon is treating Peggy in such manner but Soh did mention something about the inheritance.
Peggy just turned 18 recently, and he believed that she has to suck it up and stick to the household until she turns 21.
Eric : She’s thin and petite….quite a sweet girl…. Made coffee for us when we had to work overnight…. She hardly gets to rest… they keep picking on her….every fuck thing Poon can think off… she will make Peggy do..
Rizwan heard us talking and he came over.
Rizwan : Jim I tell you…. That fucking Poon… she will humiliate Peggy in front of everyone…. And I won’t be surprise if she does it in front of you…. Or make you do it…
Jim : huh ? what you mean ??
Rizwan told me that Poon actually slapped Peggy in front of him during the last contract at her place.
Rizwan : Not only that… she lifted up her shirt…. Just like that you know… tugging and pulling… exposing her bra….
Jim : What ??
Rizwan : poor girl… can only cry….
Jim : Shouldn’t she do something…. Slap Poon back la….
Rizwan : That’s the frustrating thing…. I asked her before if she’s ok…. Peggy just smiled and pretend nothing happened….. like as if she has to accept this….
Eric, Mohan and Rizwan’s last job with Poon was actually a party to celebrate Peggy’s birthday.
Eric : It was fucking horrible….
It was the most depressing birthday celebration ever.
Eric : It was not a celebration…it was held to humiliate Peggy… it’s like they want to make her lose her mind or something…
Jim : What ???
Soh : hey hey hey…. You can talk later…. Listen to me first…
Soh wanted everyone’s attention on the board as he laid out the plan for the team.
Soh : and stop talking about Peggy…. She’s not part of the contract…. Concentrate on Poon and Paige….
Soh : Poon will be playing poker in cash….so will her friends… we’re talking about 50k in cash each that night…
Mohan whistled.
Soh : You want to play ah ??
Mohan : No no no…. please carry on…
Soh : Poon doesn’t want you guys to stand around looking like bodyguards….
Nelson : Yeah…. She prefer us to be gigolos….
Everyone burst out laughing but Soh went on without a beat.
Soh : The team in Poon’s room will mingle….. talk to the other tai tais , look cheerful….
Jim : god… we are being pimped out aren’t we Soh….??
Soh : hey… I’m the boss here… what can they do to you ? just talk to those fucking aunties la… is it that hard… … if you don’t like it…. You can always quit… !
Tommy put up his hand with a snigger.
Tommy : Soh… halfway I can butterfly to the other room or not… hahaha…. They will still tip me right ??
Everyone laughed again and Soh said be his guest.
Soh : 2 rooms….. 2 activities …… auntie playing poker….. and the other is young chicks partying…. So…. Sounds pretty good right …
Eric rolled his eyes and Soh caught that.
Soh : I know no one wants to work with this pair but cheer up…. I’m throwing in a 500 cash bonus…. As long as you make it through the contract…. This contract is worth a lot ok … don’t fuck it up…..
Soh went on to give the team a short lecture, saying that businesses like his don’t get regular jobs sometimes for weeks on end.
Soh : No job I also need to pay bill… pay your salary….pay your CPF…. Who going to give me money ??? you ah ??? KNN…. Got work for you guys to do still want to complain….
Everyone nodded gingerly, grumbling to ourselves.
After going into a couple of more details, Soh wrapped up the briefing.
We were dismissed while Soh remained in the office. He looked stressed out.
The next couple of days were quiet, we had no other jobs and I had the opportunity to spend some time with my daughter. I cannot believe how heartwarming it is to see her smile.
Hearing Tricia call me ‘papa’ over and over again as I laughed and carried her made me realised how much I missed her.
I spent an entire day with my daughter at home after telling my ex wife about it. She was a bit reluctant for me to take Tricia out of the childcare but I told her my parents will be with me.
Everything will be fine.

Tuesday
8.30pm
I carried my sleeping daughter in my hand and went to my ex-wife’s place. Was suppose to drop her off earlier but my parents wanted to play with her a while longer.
Just when I reached the void deck of her flat, I paused 20 metres away from the drop off.
I felt this sick feeling in my heart as I watch this good looking gentleman drop Anna off . She was smiling brilliantly at him as they faced each other.
I haven seen that smile in years.
I cannot describe that feeling. It was a mixture of jealousy, anger and just a pain I cannot describe.
Do I still have feelings for Anna ? Of course I do… she is the mother of my child, but did I fucked up my life and throw all these away ? YES! … i did….
I could only blame myself for my stupidity.
I waited for the guy to kiss my ex wife on her cheek before driving off.
Anna turned and she saw me . She was a little taken aback but she said nothing. We stared at each other from that distance for a good 5 seconds before I realised how far we have drifted apart.
Anna came over and smiled as she avoided my eyes before meeting them again.
There is no drama to be had here, Anna is just not the person.
Anna : That’s…… my colleague…. He’s… he’s a nice guy…
Jim : ok….
Anna : I… erm… I wanted to talk to you about it…. I’m just not ready…
Jim : It’s…. it’s ok….
Anna gave me a squeeze on my arms before taking Tricia.
We lingered around for another few more seconds as I filled Anna in on Tricia’s day.
Anna : Jim…..
Jim : Yeah ? ;….
Anna : I.. ermm…. I just want to say… you will always be Tricia’s father….but… we all got to move on…..
Jim : I understand…
Anna : I… sigh…..
Anna was at a lost for words as she looked at me.
Jim : It’s ok… it’s late… go back and rest… we’ll talk about this some other time….
My ex wife nodded and I stayed where I was, looking at her carry my sleeping daughter home.
Well, it’s my lost, my stupidity.
If only I could turn back time.
I was on my way back home and I fiddled with my phone, looking up the missed calls and messages for the past couple of days.
It was then I realised Denise had called me over the weekend but I did not pick up.
Fuck, you must know what I’m thinking now , it’s not fair to Denise but she did say we are all adults no ?
I took a cab over to Denise’s place and she opened the door with a smile,
Denise : so…. What can I do for you today Jim ??
I kissed her and shut the door behind us.
Denise laughed.
Denise : What’s the matter with you ?? crazy ah… haha …
We fucked and I spent the night at her place.
I feel horrible even though the sex was mind blowing.

Thursday
10.30am
We were all gathered back at the office to prepare for our upcoming job with Poon.
Soh had received more instructions from Poon ranging from plain weird to just bizarre .
Soh : the gates…. Need to be locked…. And manned…..from 11.30pm…. someone needs to be on the porch……guard duty…
Eric : what are we guarding by the way….??
Soh : The doors will all be locked as well after 11.30pm….no one is allowed to go out…..you hear me… no one….windows…. doors…. Everything… all shut…. Curtains… closed….
Eric just shook his head as Soh asked him to plan out a shift detail whereby the team would take turns to rest and to be stationed at the porch.
Jim : If I didn’t know better, I’ll think she’s hiding from debtors… haha…
Soh : we have everything we need in the house…. A room will be set aside for us to rest….food water….. the kitchen has it…..
Soh told the team to pack clothes as well.
Soh : No one…..i repeat… no one is to leave the compound for the duration of the contract… unless it’s on official duties….
Eric : Go to jail…. Do not pass go… do not collect….
Soh : Diam la !….
The guys laughed as Soh pinned up a drawing of Poon’s residences.
Poon stays along Pierce road in a good glass bungalow.
On drawing, it looks like a fucking palace to us common folk.
Soh : contract starts tomorrow evening….. the schedule is as follows …
27 Jan – 5pm contract starts
27 jan – 7pm Celebrations and guest arrival
27 jan – 11pm End of party…. All guest except those on special invites will leave. Poon starts her poker, Paige has her party with a few close friends.
28 jan – 12pm – lunch party
28 jan – 3.30pm – high tea
28 jan – 7pm – 2nd birthday celebration
29 jan – 9am – send Paige to airport…. Send Poon to cruise terminal…
29 jan – 10am contract ends.
The schedule looked pretty straightforward.
It’s as per Soh’s briefing.
Soh : On the last day….. Paige is going on a trip with her friends….. and Poon is going on a cruise with her tai tai friends….. so… 2 teams…. One heads for the airport… and one to the cruise terminal…. Anyone has any questions ??
No one spoke, a few of us just shook our head a little absentmindedly.
Soh sighed and sat on the table in front of the team. He looked like shit. It’s like he hasn’t slept for a couple of days.
You could see the fatigue on his face.
