"Ah, ya! I remember it. The son of a conglomerate who once went viral at the UNIVERSITY OF VIENNA because of his charisma and abundant wealth."
"Who are you guys talking about?"
Stella sat closer to Gizelle and then whispered. "You really don't know who that man is?"
Gizelle shook her head.
"Don't ask her, Stel! When she was in college, Gizelle was busy dating Julio Folke, so she wasn't updated on the news circulating on campus."
"Tch! You're just bringing it up. Besides, our relationship has run aground for a long time. Forget it," she snapped.
"Hahaha, okay guys, stop the bullshit," Stella interceded. "Does that man come here often? Don't say you don't know or I'll hit you in the head with a shoe."
Stella's threats only made the beautiful bartender laugh. Her overly cold temper, really pissed everyone off.
"I see him a lot. At least once a week he will come over here to rock and party with the bitches."
Stella got up and whispered to Daniel.
"Hey! What are you guys talking about? Why wasn't I invited?" scold Gizelle.
Daniel smiled and nodded his head.
"Answer me, do you really need money now, Elle?"
Her brow furrowed slightly. "What do you mean?"
"Just answer me. You're certainly not stupid by asking for further explanations."
"Sure. I need money to support my life in the following days. I used to hold the money Daddy gave me to buy everything I wanted," said Gizelle arrogantly making her two friends laugh lightly.
"You're still so damn arrogant! Haha."
She grimaced. "So what? You want to give me some of your property, Daniel?"
"Not Daniel. More like the two of us."
"Really? Oh- how lucky I am to have friends like you."
Stella put down her empty bracelet and chuckled. "Don't be happy just yet! No words are free. What's more, Daniel and I know that you're the type of woman who likes to spend a lot of time. I mean- buying things you don't need."
"In other words, Stella and I set a condition for you, Elle," Daniel added.
"What?"
Daniel and Stella simultaneously looked at the man they were talking about.
"You see that man over there?"
Gizelle's eyes followed the gaze of her two friends. It was sparkling there even though the bar lights were dim. The sparkle of his handsome face and the accessories that the man was wearing couldn't make it dim even in low light.
"Uhm... the one you were talking about earlier? What's his name? Kenric?"
"Yes. Marry him, Elle!"
"What?!"
"Don't scream next to my ear, damn it!" Stella grimaced, stroking her ringing ear.
"Oh, fuck it!" She turned to look at Daniel deeply. "You... what did you say earlier? Asked me to marry him? That disgusting man over there? Masher who likes to keep bitches you mean? Are you crazy, Niel?"
Instead of being offended, Daniel laughed so hard that he almost fell backward if he hadn't been holding on to the table.
"Hey, kid! Did you have a new hobby while living in Berlin, which is eating chili? Why is your mouth so hot, huh?!"
Gizelle seemed to think for a moment. "I don't think so. Besides, it's not my mouth that is spicy. But people who get drunk and party at bars are indeed troublesome people."
"Well, forget it. I still don't understand the terms Daniel said. Please explain again in detail."
Stella motioned for Daniel to explain.
"So here it is, Elle. We're giving you the challenge to conquer Kenric Federico Reagan's heart. You must know that he is the CEO of REAGANZ CORPORATE. The company--"
"I don't know and I don't want to know."
The bartender immediately cut off Stella's words quickly. Oh- what an ignorant woman.
"Shut up, damn it!" Stella growled. "Well, if you don't know, I'll tell you."
See? Other people living in Austria know more about it than Gizelle who has lived here for a year.
"REAGANZ CORPORATE is a company engaged in the largest manufacturing industry in this city. Its founder was a conglomerate since birth, namely Dimitri Ludwig Reagan. While his successor who serves as CEO at this time is Kenric Federico Reagan. Based on the data I know, both are equally competent in this field. It is proven that this giant company that was started from scratch has now spread its wings to the international arena after falling into the hands of Kenric. That man over there," Stella pointed with her chin.
Wow. It seems extraordinary. Gizelle was taken aback by what she heard.
"But you have to be careful, Elle. That man over there is not easy for you to beat, I'm sure of that. What's more with your indifferent and arrogant character. Oh- I can't imagine how your household will be if you manage to conquer his heart."
Gizelle smirked. But it can't be hidden that her heart flutters when Daniel whispers right in her ear.
"You just made fun of me, huh?!"
"No, Elle. You don't understand," Stella interrupted. "Kenric is an ambitious person, he's also not easily swayed by women."
"Tch. Then what is he doing there if he's not easily swayed by women? Just looking at the way he responds to that disgusting bitch I can conclude."
"You're wrong. Kenric isn't there for the feeling called love. He's just fulfilling his biological needs as a hyper-sex man."
What the hell?! Does Daniel say the man is hyper-sex?
Gizelle gulped.
Oh- does she have to do this? Conquer hearts and marry a sex-crazed man like Kenric?
But... oh- really, the gifts Daniel and Stella offered were very tempting and she would be a fool if she squandered the opportunity.
****
"There is something wrong?"
Gizelle looked at Freya confusedly through the reflection of the mirror in front of her. The stocky woman looked at Gizelle up and down as if she was a strange creature on earth.
"Where are you going? You're wearing bright red lipstick, you're just like a teenager."
