I prepared myself wearing a formal dress with a light make up as ordered by my Boss. We will be having a dinner on 3rd floor. That restaurant overlooks the swimming pool on ground and the lake in front. That place is also perfect for watching the people having fun on the bar beside the pool at the same time it's not too noisy. I actually like the view from that part of the hotel. The investor entered, 2 men young and old.
"Hello good evening Mr. Alex Neagu and Mr. Daniel Neagu. I picked the table with a nice view, please follow me." He directed the two on our table I greeted the two as well.
"Good evening gentlemen." I politely gestured.
"Alex, Daniel this is my accountant Grace from Philippines. She will join us to dinner." That's how my boss introduced me to the two.
"Ooh you have a new girlfriend? I never heard of her. hahaha." Mr Alex throw a joke after seeing me.
" She's just an employee but she's quite useful sometimes." Said Adrian trying to make use of my presense there. I'm not really useful as a decoration at his side since I don't find myself that attractive. These two men even the old one Mr Alex won't be interested in me. They serve steak and wine for dinner. Adrian especially ordered wagyu beef ordered from Japan. The men appreciate it. It just fit their taste. while me who is not used to using a knife humilliated myself in front of them. Daniel end up cutting my meat.
"Let's order more wines and a pianist can you make that happen Daniel?" Requested by Alex. The old man is in the mood to piano music.
"Of course anything for you Alex." He called the waiter to relay what he wants. I a fee minutes another waiter started a piano. Good thing they have a talent hidden among their crew if notThe request of Mr Alex won't be fulfilled if no pianist came tonight. More wines are served. I'm just drinking little by little in the fear of getting drunk again.
I just kept on smiling the whole time like a stupid girl nodding on everything they say. Sometimes they speak in spanish and sometimes they translate it to me. They are more comfortable talking on that language though they also know English. My eyes turning back and forth to whoever talks trying to decode the message of their statement. Mr. Alex served me more wine. I refused him right away.
"Hmmm I will not invest in your company Daniel if Grace is not going to drink." Stated the old man tricking me to drink more with the use of the investment.
"Then Grace has to drink." Answered Daniel my boss. He is the one filled my glass this time, up to the very upper lip of the goblet. He ordered me to drink.
"Ow gosh I can't finish this. I will end up drunk early. Please don't make me do this." Even with my plea they still dare me to drink...
I'm already tipsy I'm smiling like crazy.
"Daniel why don't you grace us with a dance number. It would be a boring night without a dance performance." Requested by the old man again.
"Of course grandpa but I want Grace to join me." Again they include me with their game. They are surely picking on me.
"I'm sorry I don't know how to dance." I replied.
"No worries I will lead the way. All you need is to get up and follow my lead." Daniel tried to convinced me. Even on the middle of the dance floor I'm trying so hard to tell him I can't do it but he is insistent. I drink some more to get the courage to dance. Daniel is so graceful he picked Rumba. He is actually so good. I just stood on his feet and he litterally carried me the whole time. I enjoyed that performance. He is so smooth. He made me rotate alot but as a whole I could say, I want to do it again with him.
"I didn't expect to enjoy that. Thank you Daniel, you're awesome." I complimeted him. While he responded with a courtsy. "My pleasure!" He responded. From this on I'm no longer aware of what I'm doing. My actions are already out of my control. I'm laughing for shallow things. But one thing is for sure I'm having fun. I danced with Alex next then Adrian. I'm so drank the old man is laughing at me. I even danced by muself even without music. Later on, my Boss already called for my collegues to carry me back to the girls quarters just like how they carried me last night. Good news, we got the deal done.
