Chapter 468 - Las Vegas (12) (2/2)

…

Down on the street, Shing was trying to get on Sarah's good side. He didn't like that she is ignoring him. As a man of honor, he needs to do something to make up for the vase she gave him. ”Do you need a ride?”

”No. We are going just a bit more down the street.” She already planned to go to the bank which is open 24 hours, so that she can deposit the check immediately.

Men in dark blue suits were lined up, forming three neat rows in front of the bank while Sarah deposited check to her account. They verified that check was valid, and money was confirmed as added to her account.

”It seems that they were confident in their ability to get the check back, so they didn't bother to void it.” Sarah giggled as they exited the bank, happy that this task was completed successfully as well. But then she frowned at the spectacle of men lined up and standing in attention.

Sarah and Aiden followed by Shing and his men in dark blue suits were quite a sight all the way to their hotel. Sarah told Shing few times that it's enough and he should go away, but he insisted, so she gave up in order not to cause a scene. Like there can be a bigger scene than being followed by a heap of men in matching dark blue suits while walking on the streets of Las Vegas in the middle of the night.

Most of the people who saw them thought it's some kind of a street performance. Few even offered them money. Sarah was not sure if she should laugh or cry.

Sarah was relieved when they finally reached their hotel. ”OK. Shing, we are staying in this hotel. And unless you have a room right here already, you need to stop following us.”

”Mrs. Black… this won't do. I need to make up to you somehow.” Shing was persistent.

”But I don't need anything now.” Sarah was desperate for him to leave.

He got an idea. ”How about later?”

”Fine… if I need anything later, I will let you know.” Sarah was happy that it seems he will go away, she turned to enter the hotel.

”Mrs. Black…” Shing called, not willing to let her go just like that.

Sarah took a deep breath; she was irritated by Shing's persistence. She really didn't want anything. Sarah glanced at Aiden as saw him doing a lousy job in suppressing his smile. He was obviously amused by the whole situation.

Sarah turned toward Shing, ready to be rude if needed, but then paused when she observed that he was giving her something. It was a small jade pendant.

”Please accept this, Mrs. Black.” Shing took Sarah's hand in his and placed the pendant in her palm. ”This is a token which will let anyone in the Wang family, including our branch families, know that we owe you a grand favor. Feel free to use it as you see fit.”

Sarah was stunned. She was not sure what that favor is, but she can tell it's nothing small.

”Oh, and this…” He shuffled through his pockets before handing her his card. ”My personal number is first. On the back is for my ancestral home, if you tell them I gave you the number, they will answer your request.”

He took a step back and deeply bowed to her before leaving. Men in dark blue suits bowed as well and followed their Master.

Sarah was not sure how to respond. She was standing, frozen, staring after Shing and his small army of bodyguards in dark blue suits who walked in matching footsteps away.

”As I said… you have a talent to make interesting friends.” Aiden spoke into her ear before putting his arm around her shoulders and pulling her inside hotel.
